Lot Essay

Charles Hindley and Sons were carpet, rug and floor cloth manufacturers before acquiring the cabinet-makers Miles and Edwards in 1844. Thereafter, they produced furniture and traded from Miles and Edwards' old premises at 134 Oxford Street (C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, Leeds, 1996, p. 34).
