James Lamb of Manchester, founder of one of the most successful late nineteenth-century regional British cabinetmakers, was one of the most pre-eminent figures of the aesthetic movement. The superb quality and stylistic historicism of his pieces epitomizes the 'art furniture' displayed at Lamb's premises in John Dalton Street and lauded at various International Exhibitions. The firm, launched by Lamb in 1843, was commended for its displays at the London 1862 Exhibition and the Paris 1867 Exhibition, and received a gold medal at the Paris 1878 Exhibition.
