A pair of Gillows rosewood dining chairs, the shaped backs carved with shell and scroll, cane seats, on scroll carved legs, stamped GILLOWS LANCASTER to the back rail (2) 86 x 51cm (34 x 20in) Other Notes: Gillows of Lancaster and London were one of the great furniture and cabinet makers of the late 18th Century and 19th century. Founded in 1730 by Robert Gillow, the company remained in business until 1938 - albeit having merged with Waring of Liverpool in 1897. Gillows' designs were never worked up to a finished state or formally published. Instead they retained Estimate Sketch Books containing some 20,000 sketches used for the firm's private records or for customer's confidential perusal. The Gillows archive from 1731-1932 contains under 200 volumes of records. The company attracted commissions from a wide social spectrum: from tradesmen to the aristocracy and a wide range of products: from altarpieces and coffins to sideboards and chairs. Their furniture is collected and displayed in public collections and houses; dining chairs with a similar shell motif can be seen at Erdding, Wrexham: Kingston Lacy, Dorset; and Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire. One cane seat has a small hole

Fornham Park, Suffolk, 'Furnishings of the mansion', 30th March 1951, Lot 157. 'The delicate Sheraton satinwood suite with tulip wood banding and open pierced shield shaped backs with painted floral decoration, cane seats and loose cushions upholstered in amber silk damask, comprising; a two chair back settee, open armchair and three small chairs, sold for £65 Other Notes: Wright and Mansfield were one of the pre-eminent makers of furniture in the George III style and central to the revival in interest of late 18th Century English furniture from 1860s-1880s. The partnership between Alfred Thomas Wright, cabinet maker and upholsterer and Thomas Needham Mansfield was formed in 1860, working firstly at 3 Great Portland Street, and subsequently at 104 New Bond Street, London. The partnership was dissolved in 1886. They specialised in furniture based on the designs of Robert Adam, Thomas Chippendale, George Hepplewhite and Thomas Sheraton. The Victoria & Albert Museum hold as part of the collection a chair very similar in style to this suite, purchased in the stock sale of 1887. Such was the quality of the work of Wright and Mansfield, it was decided that the museum must hold an example of a reproduction chair to ensure they were not mistaken as originals in the future. The museum had previously bought a satinwood cabinet in the Adam style which Wright and Thomas had exhibited at the Paris Exhibition of 1867. No apparent damages, just expected wear.
