Lot Essay

The famous firm of cabinet-makers, founded around 1730 by Robert Gillow in his native Lancaster, has been responsible for furnishing some of the greatest British houses. Gillows' sober and restrained designs, their many multi-purpose pieces, the exceptionally high quality of timber and workmanship and the exclusivity of their patterns have contrived to create in Gillows the quintessential English cabinet-making firm of the late 18th and 19th century.
