Footnote: Robert Gillow was born on 2 August 1704 in Lancashire and founded the luxury furniture firm Gillows of Lancaster in 1730, following his apprenticeship as a joiner and cabinet maker. As a very young man he sailed to the West Indies as a ships carpenter, and it was in Jamaica that he became interested in mahogany, bringing samples back to England in 1720. This is reputed to be the first mahogany to be brought to British shores. He continued to charter ships to import the slow grown mahogany providing him solid timber of exquisite quality, which was not otherwise available at that time. His firm quickly established the reputation of supplying high quality furniture to some of the wealthiest families in the country, and they specialised in unusual veneers and painted designs such as japanning.

By 1764, a permanent London branch of Gillows had been established in Oxford Street by his son Thomas, and following his retirement in 1769, the firm was managed by his two sons, who continued its trade well past his death in 1772, and then by succession into the early 19th century. By the late 1800’s the company began to flounder and went into partnership with Waring of Liverpool and in 1903 the company officially became known as Waring and Gillow. The new entity continued to trade until going into receivership in 1932.

Gillows furniture has the esteemed reputation for its high level of craftsmanship and unique design, which is still highly sought after today.

  • Restoration Chart

    Wallrocks only buy antiques that are sound. We are able to do this because we buy them in original condition and it provides the significant advantage of being able to see what has and has not been done to a piece over time. It is to our customers absolute benefit that we do this. It allows us to see, whether the quality or integrity has been compromised?

    Wallrocks have very strict buying criteria…
    - The furniture must be antique, and if not it needs to be of an unsually high standard to justify being purchased;
    - Antiques must be of a very high quality;
    - Our antiques must have correct proportion;
    - Importantly, they must have integrity and aesthetic appeal.

    While these criteria might seem obvious, it is difficult to find furniture that satisfy all of them at once.

    Restoration & Interior Design

    The process of bringing the collection back to life is incredibly exciting for our clients as it respectfully rescues long forgotten beauty, and allows clients to make their own personal mark on the antiques by determining how they are to be restored, to what level and with what finishes and fabrics.
