Note: Gillows of Lancaster and London was founded in 1730 by Robert Gillow (1704-1772) in Lancaster, England. It was owned by the family until 1814. By the mid 18th century the firm was the leading cabinet shop in Lancaster, they had a reputation for making high quality mahogany furniture. In the early 1740's Robert Gillow imported mahogany from the West Indies. The success of the firm was partly due to his ability to import fine quality mahogany. In 1757 Robert entered into a partnership with his son Richard (1713-1811). Robert retired in 1768 and gave his share to his son Robert Gillow II (1747-1795). In 1769 - 1770 a shop at 176 Oxford Street was set up by the brother's cousin Thomas Gillow (1736-1779) to sell their fine furniture. By 1775 the Lancaster branch had 42 employees and by 1789 approximately 50. In 1814 the firm was taken over by a partnership of Leonard Redmayne, Whiteside and Ferguson, they continued to use the Gillow name until 1903 when they were taken over by Waring and Gillows.
