James Shoolbred and Co. of Tottenham Court Road, became one of the first large department stores in London. They expanded from a small draper business and started to manufacture high quality furniture circa 1870, for which they were given a Royal warrant by the mid-1880's. They exhibited 'a very extensive selection of items' in the 1878 Paris Universal Exhibition, much of the furniture influenced by the 'Aesthetic Taste', popularised by Oscar Wilde and the architect E.W. Godwin.
