A Late Georgian Jardiniere Table
firmly attributed to Gillows
Constructed of well figured Rosewood, rising from tripod scrolled feet, with foliate carving to the curved legs, lotus leaf and ring turned central stem; the jardinière fitted with a spring-release removable rosewood top revealing a liner underneath, and having a moulded edge with bead and reel decoration.
English, circa 1830
According to furniture historian Christopher Payne, the scrolled gallery divided by four die-stamped inset gadrooned mouldings is a feature repeatedly used by Gillow.
Gillows of London and Lancaster was perhaps the greatest English furniture-making firm, thriving from the 18th century until it merged in 1900. Founded by Robert Gillow in 1730, his business earned a stellar reputation for exquisite craftsmanship and cutting-edge designs, particularly in crafting mahogany furniture. They expanded their influence by setting up showrooms in both Lancaster and London, attracting a diverse clientele that included the State, landed gentry, and the emerging middle class. Robert's legacy was carried on by his sons, Richard and Robert. Over the course of the 19th century, Gillows became England's biggest furniture manufacturer, leaving an enduring legacy with a staggering 20,000 preserved designs and a global footprint in royal collections and museums.
