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.

Gillows of Lancaster and London was an English cabinet-making firm established in the 18th century, known for mahogany timber construction, reeded legs, and carved scroll motifs.

Dense mahogany timber was favoured for construction, paired with brass castors, mortise-and-tenon joinery, and upholstered seat pads.

Look for hand-cut joinery, brass castors, precise reeding on turned legs, and maker stamps on the frame, along with natural wood oxidisation on underside surfaces.

Position them on either side of a fireplace, place them as carver chairs at a dining table, or frame a side table in a reading space to contrast modern geometry with traditional wood finishes.

Dust the mahogany frames regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply beeswax along the timber grain annually, and clean the velvet seats using a soft brush attachment.
