Heal & Son (“Heals”) has a distinguished history in furniture manufacture and
retailing since its establishment as a furniture store
by John Harris in 1810. The firm was first located in Tottenham Court Road,
London in
1811 and, by the middle of the 19th century, had begun to move from its original
focus on beds to include bedroom furniture. By the 1880s its activities had
expanded to include a new department for sitting room furniture. In 1893 Ambrose
Heal joined the family business and for the next 60 years played an important
role in building the reputation of the firm as a leading London retailer of good
quality interior design and furniture. In the years before the First World War he helped promote an
arts and crafts ethos in many of the products sold by the company
