cabinet makers of the second half of the 1800s. By 1854 they were trading as

Importers of Ancient Furniture". They became one of the leading London cabinet
makers and retailers and the firm produced high quality furniture, as well as
good copies of 18th and 19th century English and French pieces. Their
workmanship included pieces with satinwood, marquetry, inlay and ormolu. They were known for restoring
and adapting older pieces of antique
furniture.
