Gillows of Lancaster and London, also known as Gillow & Co., was a furniture making firm based in Lancaster, Lancashire and London. It was originally founded around in Lancaster in about 1730 by Robert Gillow (1704-1772). Gillows was owned by the family until 1814 when it was taken over by Redmayne, Whiteside, and Ferguson; they continued to use the Gillow name. Gillows furniture was a byword for quality, and other designers used Gillows to manufacture their 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 and although the furniture remained of a high quality it was not as prestigious. ==History== By the mid 1700s, the firm was one of the leading cabinet-makers in Lancaster. They had a reputation for manufacturing very high quality furniture. By the end of the 1700s, most of the firm's partners were based in London. The firm merged with a Liverpool firm in 1897 to form Waring & Gillow.
