A pair of George II mahogany corner chairs attributed to Robert Gillow.
The distinctive claw carved legs compare to a communion table associated with the Gillow family, but unfortunately there are no surviving records of the early years of Robert Gillow’s business.
These corner chairs were part of a suite of seat furniture at Workington Hall, Cumbria, which included six side chairs. An early photograph of the interior of Workington Hall (now reduced to a ruin) shows the side of one chair in the music room.

  • Provenance

    John Christian Curwen, Workington Hall, Cumbria, England.
    By descent in the Curwen family.
