FAQs

The Gillows firm, established in Lancaster and London, is renowned for functional design, high-quality timber selection, and meticulous cabinet-making craftsmanship.

These chairs typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany, walnut, or oak for the frame, with traditional stuffing materials like horsehair, wool, and hessian beneath the top cover.

Authenticity is assessed through joinery techniques, timber oxidisation, tool marks, and historical stamps or signatures often found on the frame rails.

Pairing a historically rich upholstered chair with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights the pieces craftsmanship.

Keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping and textile fading, and gently vacuum upholstered surfaces using a low-suction attachment.
