About the Item

Constructed in a finely figured and beautifully patinated goncalo alves: the twenty chairs, consecutively numbered in Roman numerals to the frames, from One to Twenty, rise from gently tapering front legs, turned, lobed and carved with inverted lotus flowers; the rear legs of sabre form, channelled, and sweeping into the uprights, themselves carved with scrolled ears, and having circular bosses floral carved, to both sides; the seat rails are of ogee moulded form, and house integral upholstered stuffed and tufted seats; the backs having shaped central splats, carved with addorsed anthemions within a tablet; the top rails housing a fielded panel, framed with finely carved ‘egg & dart’ moulding, and the top edges dressed with a running carved ovolo moulding. circa 1815 Gillows The founder of the Gillows dynasty, Robert (1704-1772) rose from humble beginnings as a Provincial joiner and evolved into a consummate businessman following a pursuit of excellence throughout his life. Founding his business in 1730 he expanded his furniture making activities to include the direct import of quality West Indian timbers especially the finest mahogany. His talents as both a cabinetmaker as well as innovative designer brought him early success, and, bringing his two sons, Richard & Robert, into the business, he expanded his Lancaster showroom, to include another in London’s Oxford Street. The clientele now included the Government, the aristocracy and the burgeoning middle classes. His furniture had gained it's reputation for excellence of workmanship, and materials employed, and coupled with his insistence on being at the cutting edge of design kept the company to the fore throughout it's 170 year history from 1730 until it's amalgamation with Messrs S.J. Waring in 1900. Throughout this period it was the largest manufactory of furniture in England. The fortuitous survival of the Gillows records in their Estimate Sketch Books show over 20,000 designs and are preserved in the City of Westminster Library. Furniture made by Gillows is to be found in Royal collections and museums throughout the world. A scholarly two volume exegesis of the firm, ‘Gillows of Lancaster & London’ by Susan E. Stuart was published by the Antique Collectors Club in 2008.
