Poirot Art Deco has dated this piece to the 1920s.
Charles Lazarus, the founder of C. Lazarus & Co, Calcutta, a well-known cabinet maker in the city was one of at least six children of Jacob and Eliza Lazarus, of Carmarthen, South Wales.
He was born there in 1823, his Jewish father had been a popular and well established jeweller and pawnbroker in the town.
After his parents died in Carmarthen in early 1835, Charles and his younger brother, sailed to Calcutta, to be with his older brother Benjamin who had come to Calcutta in the early 1830s and had quickly secured a position with George Page as a cabinet maker.
Eventually Charles and the now established Benjamin set up business together. At the beginning they were not wholly successful, but learning from their mistakes, they became the leading furniture designers and makers in the city, receiving a warrant for their business by The Viceroy and Governor-General of India.
The company continued well after their deaths.
All our furniture is professionally polished and restored where necessary. Our restorer has over 40 years of furniture restoration experience including 15 years living at Windsor Castle whilst restoring furniture for the Royal household, so comes highly recommended!
