Provenance:
Gillows of Lancaster and London, also known as Gillow & Co., was a furniture-making firm based in Lancaster, Lancashire, and in London. It was originally established in Lancaster in about 1730 by Robert Gillow (1704-1772). The family owned Gillows until 1814 when it was taken over by Redmayne, Whiteside, and Ferguson they continued to use the Gillow name. Gillows antique furniture was a byword for quality, and other designers used Gillows to manufacture their antique furniture. Gillows furniture is referred to by Jane Austen, Thackeray and the first Lord Lytton, and in one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic operas. In 1903, Gillows merged with Warings of Liverpool to become Waring and Gillow. They were the largest company of its type outside London where they maintained showrooms and workshops. They had a solid reputation for quality. The company won commissions to furnish and decorate public buildings in Australia, South Africa, India, Russia, Germany, France and the U.S. It provided furniture for aristocratic houses, such as Tatton Hall, where some 150 extant pieces complement the work of the architect Lewis William Wyatt. Details of the commissions can be found in the Pattern Books in the Gillow archives. By 1897, they were over extended and formed an informal partnership with Warings of Liverpool. In 1903 Warings bought them out and the two companies became Waring&Gillows (Source: Wikipedia).
These chairs have been produced in the style of the Chippendale period. The period, from 1755 – 1780, is named for the famous English cabinetmaker Thomas Chippendale, who published a book of furniture designs in 1754, entitled The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director. It had a strong influence on the cabinetmakers of the day, which incorporated the styles within the book into the furniture they produced. The Chippendale style contained influences from Roman and Gothic styles, including Gothic arches, Chinese fretwork, columns, capitals, C-scrolls, S-scrolls, ribbons, flowers, leaves, scallop shells, gadrooning and acanthus leaves. Construction predominantly made use of materials such as mahogany, walnut, maple and cherry.
The chairs feature a rich dark brown mahogany colour. As they boast the original polish, they have a lovely colour and patination this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
The chairs would look superb in the dining or boardroom. They would certainly grace any home and are a great investment as they are extremely functional. So don't miss out your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
