Dealers Notes

I have been established as a dealer and antique furniture restorer for almost 20 years.

I have a real love and passion of fine 18th and early 19th century furniture.

As a professional restorer I am always searching for the finest quality and original items but should any restoration be nessesary it will be sympathetically and skilfully carried out in house by myself.

If items are purchased with buy now option I shall do my very best to work with my courier to offer free delivery within most of UK mainland. (Some exclusions to locations may apply)

It has been noted that the system is rounding up measurements added in cm to the next nearest inch so if dimensions are critical for a particular space please work by the cm size listed of please ask.

FAQs

Gillows of Lancaster and London was a premier furniture maker known for exceptional craftsmanship, innovative mechanical designs, and high-quality timber selection during the Georgian and Victorian periods.

These tables typically feature dense hardwoods such as mahogany and rosewood, often enhanced with finely turned supports, mortise and tenon joinery, and occasionally satinwood or brass inlay.

Authenticity is often verified through maker stamps, characteristic cabinet-making techniques, high-grade timber, traditional hand-cut dovetailing, and historical provenance linking the item to known design patterns.

Pairing historical timber pieces with contemporary upholstery and minimalist decor creates a balanced aesthetic, allowing the rich grain and traditional craftsmanship to serve as a focal point.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels, keep furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and treat the wood periodically with traditional beeswax to nourish the finish without sealing it.
