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.

A centre table is a versatile, often circular piece designed to sit in the middle of a room, entrance hall, or salon. Popular throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, these tables served as focal points for social gatherings, display items, or light dining.

Victorian centre tables frequently used dense timber cores covered with figured wood veneers, such as burr walnut or mahogany. Construction involved hand-cut dovetails, turned central pedestals, and carved quadruped or tripod legs with castors.

Authentic pieces exhibit book-matched or quartered burr walnut veneers displaying natural growth swirling, genuine age-related patination, and hand-worked underside joinery. Period pieces by noted cabinetmakers may also feature stamped maker marks or brass hardware.

A burr walnut centre table works as an entry hall centerpiece or a compact dining table. Pairing dark timber grain with clean-lined contemporary seating or neutral backdrop tones balances historic craftsmanship with modern minimalism.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year following the grain. Avoid direct sunlight, excess moisture, and direct contact with warm or cold objects to prevent veneer lifting.
