The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Gillows style dining chairs are modelled after designs from the renowned 18th and 19th-century cabinetmakers Gillows of Lancaster and London. They feature high-grade hardwoods, precise joinery, refined scrollwork carving on the top rails, and balanced proportions typical of Regency and Victorian furniture.

Craftsmen typically utilised dense hardwoods such as mahogany or rosewood for the carved frame, paired with natural split cane woven through drilled holes in the seat frame to create a lightweight yet sturdy platform.

Authentic period chairs often display hand-carved details with minor human variances, hand-woven cane work, natural timber patination on unexposed undersides, and occasionally maker marks or stamps along the inner seat rail.

Pairing dark timber carved chairs with a minimalist oak or glass dining table creates an engaging visual contrast between ornate historical detail and clean contemporary lines.

To prevent natural cane from drying out, keep chairs away from direct heat sources and periodically wipe the underside of the weave with a slightly damp cloth to maintain elasticity, while conditioning the wooden frame with beeswax.
