A. Gardner & Son were cabinet makers based at 36 Jamaica Street, Glasgow in Scotland. They built very fine quality antique furniture using quality woods but mainly used Mahogany and Walnut with fine quality inlays. A Gardner & Son started in the Georgian era of 1803 by his Grandfather. A Gardner took over the business in 1832 and the company continued for over 150 years of creating fine furniture.
We get some beautiful examples of Gardner & Son antique furniture for sale and you can see previous sold examples below. If you are interested in fine quality antique furniture by this maker along with our current selection available, please visit our latest stock here.
We have sold some fine examples including this Edwardian Mahogany Antique Library Bookcase by A. Gardner & Son of Glasgow with Goats head carved into the frieze.
With Arts and Crafts influences and constructed from quality solid oak, this high quality bench is multi functional due to the hinged lid that lifts up and tilts over to become a table and dates from around 1910.

I have a writing bureau/secretary’s desk. Oval label/badge on left inside top drawer is marked A. Gardner and Sons Ltd. On outside back of middle of top drawer is stamped 26 (or 29) Jul 1957. I am at my wit’s end trying to locate a replacement key after my you granddaughter thought it looked like a secret key to a “fairy doorway” in the garden. However, she cannot remember where she has left the key. I have been searching for months now by buying keys over the internet from private and open stock dealers but to no avail. It has cost me a small fortune. I do not want to have to force the lock as the bureau was also a present for my 37th wedding anniversary from my husband. All my art supplies are inside the bureau. I recently took up drawing again after over 30 years but now can’t access my stock. I can send a picture of the bureau with a close-up of the lock if required. I would be ever so grateful for any help you can offer plus, you would be saving my relationship with my much loved granddaughter!
Thanking you in advance,
Hi
