The article presents a review of the preliminary study "The West Indian Trade of an English Furniture Firm in the Eighteenth Century" published in "The Jamaican Historical Review" in 1962. The study in 1959 which was based on the Gillow records kept by Warring & Gillow Ltd. of Lancaster, England was said to be tentative and the materials need general affirmation. The review aims to give fuller evidence and complete illustration of the fine furniture bought by planters and merchants of the West Indies of the Barbados and Jamaica in the 18th century.
