Lot Essay

Holland and Sons were among the most distinguished furniture makers of the Victorian period, starting as Taprell and Holland at the beginning of the 19th century and from 1843 as Holland and Sons. They supplied furniture for many of London's clubs including the Athenaeum, the Reform Club and the Oxford and Cambridge Club and were granted a Royal Warrant early in Queen Victoria's reign. They took over premises in Mount Street in 1851 and their archives dating upto 1942, when the firm ceased trading, are preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
