Lot Essay

Operating from premises located at 60 Margaret Street and Cavendish Square, London, the Anglo-French firm of Mellier & Co. is recorded as having taken over the family business of Monbro when the latter ceased trading in the 1880s (see C. Payne, 19th Century European Furniture, Woodbridge, 1981, p. 40). They were amongst the English manufacturers who exhibited at the 1904 St Louis International Exhibition.
