FAQs

Furniture produced by Gillows of Lancaster and London during the 19th century is defined by exceptional timber selection, precise joinery, and ergonomic proportions. Armchairs from this era frequently feature turned or carved front legs, brass castors, and deep, comfortable seat profiles designed for drawing rooms and libraries.

Traditional 19th-century armchairs were built with solid hardwood frames, typically mahogany, walnut, or oak. Internal upholstery relied on steel coil springs, jute webbing, hessian lining, and natural fillings such as horsehair, wool felt, and feather or down cushions.

Authentic Gillows pieces are often stamped with GILLOWS, GILLOW & CO, or an L-prefixed serial number on the top edge of a drawer, leg, or castor mount. Stamp placement varies, but the presence of high-grade brass castors and neatly mortised frame joinery serves as a secondary indicator of manufacture.

An antique armchair frame can be upholstered in contemporary fabrics such as plain linen, boucle, or bold velvet to bridge classic and modern aesthetics. Positioned alongside minimalist side tables or modern lighting, the turned timber legs provide textural contrast within modern living spaces.

Exposed wood should be cleaned with a soft cloth and conditioned with natural beeswax to preserve the original patina. When re-upholstering, traditional hand-stitching techniques and natural fibres should be prioritised to preserve the structural integrity and historical value of the frame.
