* Historical note: The cabinetmaking company Gillows of Lancaster was founded by Robert Gillow in 1728, and opened their London Branch in 1771 in Oxford Street. A lot is known about the Company as its extensive archives are held by the Westminster City Libraries, and also because they were the only makers of the period to consistently impress their mark on their fine furniture.
