Gillow & Co

Gillow & Co. – were founded in 1730 in Lancaster and went on to become a household name in Victorian Britain, exporting furniture to the British Empire.

In 1775 they opened their London branch showing off their most successful pieces in the Neoclassical style from original drawings by Richard Adam. The Gillow family gradually withdrew from the business between 1813 and 1820 and the firm eventually merged with a Liverpool firm to become Waring & Gillow in 1897.
