Wimbledon-Furniture is delighted to offer for sale this very rare original Gillows Lancaster circa 1850 height adjustable walnut fire screen

Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only, for an accurate quote please send me your postcode

A very good looking and well made screen from pretty much finest furniture maker England has ever known, it is twice stamped to the base as you can see

The screen is height adjustable on a brass pole with what looks like a Queens crown finial. The timber is all hand carved walnut and is absolutely sublime throughout

We have cleaned waxed and polished the timber throughout, it does lean forward ever so slightly, I’m not sure if this is intentional so it is leaning away from the fire, otherwise it's perfect

Dimensions

Height:- 140cm

Width:- 50cm

Depth:- 44cm

Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask

Gillows of Lancaster and London, also known as Gillow & Co., was an English furniture making firm based in Lancaster, Lancashire, and in London. It was 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.
