About the Maker — S. T. Townshend
Samuel Thomas Townshend was a Norwich-based carver, gilder, and looking-glass manufacturer, active from the mid-19th century. He continued the business established by his father, Samuel Townshend, whose workshop operated from the 1820s. Trade directories record S. T. Townshend at Charing Cross, Norwich, from 1854 until the late 19th century, producing mirrors, picture frames, and carved gilt work. Members of the Townshend family continued the business into the early 20th century.
