THE following List of the Names of some Artists and Manufacturers of past times, in alphabetical order, will be useful for reference. The Author is indebted to Mr. J. Hungerford Pollen for some additions to his list in "Ancient and Modern Furniture." (published in 1874). The names of existing firms are not included, partly on account of the large number who might fairly claim a place amongst the makers of furniture of the present time, and partly because any selection of names by a contemporary would appear to be invidious and arbitrary:—
