Provenance:
Maple & Co. of 149 Tottenham Court Road, London, during the late part of the Victorian period and early 20th century were the most renowned English cabinetmakers of their time. They made and retailed their own furniture specialising in top quality pieces replicating Georgian designs, such as the Hepplewhite and Chippendale but also were well known for their quality Arts & Crafts furniture. Off the back of the expansion of the British Empire in the Victorian period, they rapidly grew their business to become the largest fine furniture maker, supplier to the interiors industry and furniture retailer globally.
