Lot Essay

James Shoolbred and Co. of Tottenham Court Road were one of the first large department stores in London. They expanded from a small drapers business and began to manufacture high quality furniture circa 1870, much of it influenced by the 'Aesthetic taste' popularised by the architect E.W Godwin. They were awarded a Royal warrant in the mid-1880's.
