James Shoolbred & Co or also known as Jas Shoolbred was established in the 1820's as a draper's shop, at Tottenham Court Road, London. The company first began supplying textiles to the furniture trade. By the 1880's, Jas Shoolbred had expanded to such an extent that the business had to move to larger premises, becoming one of the first large department stores in London, who would supply quality antique furniture and accessories for the Victorian home.
Their furniture was displayed in a series of catalogues that the company produced every year, with their new and impressive designs. Jas Shoolbred was granted a Royal warrant by the mid-1880s and their Victorian furniture was of the best quality available of the late Victorian period. Unfortunately, as with most great Victorian designers and furniture makers, James Shoolbred & Co didn't survive the financial crisis of the late 1920's and ceased trading in 1931.This item is in the category "Antiques\Antique Furniture\Chairs".
