With carved decorations to the freeze, legs and under-stretcher. Cleaned and waxed in our workshops and now offered for sale in very good original condition with a good warm colour and patina. Would sit well within a number of different room scenarios within the modern home.

The firm of Gillow's of Lancaster can be traced back to the luxury furniture and furnishings firm founded by Robert Gillow (1704–72) in 1730. Robert Gillow served an apprenticeship as a joiner. During the 1730s he began to exploit the lucrative West Indies trade exporting mahogany furniture and importing rum and sugar. Following his death in 1772, the business was continued by his two sons, Richard (1734–1811) and Robert (1745–93). In 1764 a London branch of Gillow's was established at 176 Oxford Road, now Oxford Street, by Thomas Gillow and William Taylor. The firm rapidly established a reputation for supplying high-quality furniture to the richest families in the country.

Date of Manufacture

Camden Antiques has dated this Antique Oak Centre Table to the 1880s.

Jacobean and later revival styles are characterised by heavy timber construction, dark finishes, and symmetrical geometric carvings such as strapwork and lunettes.

English cabinetmakers predominantly utilised native timbers such as solid oak, elm, and walnut, frequently employing mortise and tenon joinery for structural stability.

Authentic period pieces exhibit tool marks, hand-cut joinery, consistent oxidisation, and timber shrinkage that aligns with the age of the item rather than mechanical uniformity.

Balancing heavy historic timber with minimalist modern surroundings, neutral walls, and contemporary lighting allows the craftsmanship of the piece to remain the focal point.

Preservation requires maintaining stable room humidity, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent timber splitting, and treating surfaces periodically with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicon polishes.
