How do I identify a true Gillows table?

Confirmation relies on locating workshop stamps, signature structural traits like specific leg turnings, or documented provenance pointing to the Lancaster or London premises. Items lacking stamps are often attributed based on timber quality, joinery methods, and design characteristics matching known workshop output.

What periods do these tables cover?

The selection spans from the late eighteenth century through the Georgian and Regency eras into the Victorian period, including later revival movements. Earlier pieces emphasise neoclassical proportions in mahogany, while nineteenth-century examples introduce rosewood, goncalo Alves, and diverse revival aesthetics.

Were these tables used as desks?

Many forms within this category double as writing surfaces, chamber tables, or library desks equipped with drawers and specialised locks. While console and serving tables remained primarily decorative and functional furniture for reception rooms, writing variants catered to domestic administration.

How should I care for antique mahogany and rosewood?

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent timber splitting or warping. Routine dusting with a soft, dry cloth protects the polished surface without the need for heavy chemical polishes.
