The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the Victorian era, formal dining became a central social ritual, prompting cabinetmakers to design expandable tables. Prominent makers like Gillows produced large extending tables using patent telescopic mechanisms and additional leaf inserts to accommodate varied numbers of dinner guests.

High-grade dense mahogany, often imported from the West Indies or South America, was the primary timber chosen for its durability and rich grain. Tables frequently featured satinwood or rosewood crossbanded inlays, brass winding mechanisms, and brass castors.

Authentic Gillows pieces often feature a stamped mark on the drawer edge, leg top, or leaf undersides, such as GILLOWS or GILLOW & CO. Look for precision dovetailing, high-quality timber selection, heavy original brass winding mechanisms, and stamped serial numbers.

Balance the heavy visual weight of rich mahogany by pairing the table with modern upholstered dining chairs or minimalist metal silhouettes. Positioning the table over a neutral, textured rug helps anchor the piece while contemporary lighting above provides a balanced contrast.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish twice a year along the grain. Protect the French polished finish from heat and moisture by using felt-backed trivets and placemats, and avoid placing the table near direct heat sources.
