English, circa 1850
Founded in 1803 by Stephen Taprell and William Holland, a relation of the architect Henry Holland, Holland & Sons swiftly emerged as a preeminent furniture manufacturer during the 19th century.
The firm's exceptional craftsmanship and dedication caught the attention of the Royal Family, earning them the Royal Warrant early in Queen Victoria's reign. This marked the beginning of their significant involvement in adorning and furnishing some of the most esteemed royal residences, including Osborne House, Sandringham, Balmoral, Windsor Castle, and the residences of the Prince and Princess of Wales at Marlborough House.
Holland & Sons
In addition to their royal patronage, Holland & Sons played a pivotal role in serving the British Government. They completed more than three hundred distinct commissions, including notable projects like the Palace of Westminster and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Their work even extended to overseeing the State funeral of the Duke of Wellington.
Among their numerous private commissions, one of their most celebrated achievements was the creation of a magnificent suite of bedroom furniture for the late Sir Harold Wernher at Luton Hoo.
Always at the forefront of design and fashion, Holland & Sons employed some of England's most esteemed designers. They actively participated in international exhibitions, leaving their mark at the exhibitions of 1851, 1855, 1862, 1867, 1872, and 1878, as well as the Vienna Expo of 1873.
