Lot Essay

Holland and Sons were among the most distinguished furniture producers of the Victorian period. Founded in 1803 by William Holland, they became Holland and Sons in 1843 and were granted the Royal Warrant early in Victoria's reign. By 1851, the firm employed 351 men, working on commissions for Osborne House, Balmoral, Sandringham and Windsor as well as for London clubs and the British Museum. The firm remained under family control until 1942 when it ceased trading; their archives are preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
