Antique Furniture by the Scottish cabinet makers Wylie & Lochhead, means the piece is going to be of superb quality and a very high level of craftsmanship. Wylie & Lochhead made antique furniture in traditional style like in the Chippendale designs but also in the Arts & Crafts style. They were famous for their stunning selection of antique wardrobes, antique dining chairs and antique dining tables.
In 1829 Wylie & Lochhead was started by cabinetmakers Robert Wylie and William Lochhead mainly as coffin builders but they quickly became very successful with many workshops and furniture showrooms in Glasgow, Scotland. Wylie & Lochhead became renowned for their artistic designs and high levels of craftsmanship especially in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. Their most well known designers were E.A Taylor, John Ednie and George Logan. Their Arts & Crafts Furniture designs were considered of such high quality they were displayed at the Turin International Exhibition alongside those of Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow Four.
Wylie & Lochhead soon opened showrooms in England in the large cities like London and Manchester, but they also began selling abroad like in America.
Their antique furniture was so well crafted and beautifully finished you still see many good examples for sale today and driscolls antiques on antiques world.

We have WYLIE & LOCHEAD walnut sideboard(?) which we use as a desk! It is, by far, the most admired item which we possess and we wonder if you can give us any more details – it is 63 inches long, 27 inches wide and 32 inches high – and we love it! There is a centre drawer and two deep drawers either side and on the back board there are signs of four screw holes each side which we think the upright backing board would have been attached to. The legs are four and are bulbous but elegant.
We wondered if the is a dining table to match.
Your help would be much appreciated.
We have a Wylie and Lockhead walnut sideboard, table with two extensions and 8 chairs available.

Hi
Can you tell me if Wylie and Lochhead made pianos ?
Thankyou
Hi
Im not too sure, but most good manufacturers of the period did make pianos as they were very popular, so I would think they probably did
Thanks

I have a large dining room table, 6 dining room chairs and a sideboard, all of which carry the Wylie & Lochhead plaque…. They are Scottish oak but I do not know what age they are nor their value. if I were to send you photos, could you possible give me some indication of their age and value and whether they are saleable……they are located in Ireland but either a Euro or Sterling value would be acceptable. many thanks.

Is it worth anything?

I just purchased a stunningly beautiful Wylie & Lochhead dressing table and am wondering where I might learn a bit more about it, I really know nothing other than it is gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for. Could I send a picture to someone who might be able to tell me the style, the wood and its approximate age?
