In 1830 William Hampton opened a shop for the sale of general household furniture in Cranbourn Street. He was subsequently joined by his two sons George and William Powell (the sons of George Hampton; Harold, Fred and Clarence also later entered the business). In 1869 the business expanded with new premises on the corner site comprising 8 Pall Mall East and 1-3 Dorset Place (now Whitcomb Street). Throughout its history the firm suffered a number of serious fires, the first of which occurred in 1890.

Very Fine Chippendale Period Satinwood and Marquetry Desk
Located in Lymington, GB
A very fine Chippendale-period satinwood and marquetry desk.
English, George III-period, circa 1770.
The considerable use of the best quality mahogany in the carcass is typical of the very fine work of Thomas Chippendale.
It is rare today to find an 18th-century satinwood and marquetry-inlaid desk of this quality. (Most offered on the market are 19th/ 20th century). Major, period satinwood pieces have become almost unobtainable.
The superbly-controlled and delicate marquetry inlays are reminiscent of the fine decoration on the famous Diana and Minerva Commode by Chippendale at Harewood House...
