The premises were also informally known as “the Baker Street Bazaar”, the site originally being the home of a horse bazaar which extended to carriages and other goods in the 1830s. Druce & Co. were both cabinet makers and retailers of second hand furniture; in the Marylebone Trade Directory of 1853 they are described as "Furnishers, Upholsterers and Upholders for Clients of Discernment." Following the death of T. C. Druce in 1864 the business was taken over and run by his son Herbert until 1913.
