Johnstone, Jeanes and Co John Johnstone of Bond Street came to prominence after his collaboration with Robert Jupe, an 'upholder' of 47 Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, London, who patented a remarkable design for a circular expanding dining table with a segmented top in 1835. After Jupe's death, the firm traded as 'Johnstone and Jeanes' from 1842 until 1880, moving to Bond Street and continuing the tradition of producing high quality furniture. They exhibited at the Great Exhibition 1851, The International Exhibition of London in 1862 and The Paris Exhibition of 1878. Both the Royal Collection Trust and the Victoria & Albert Museum own stamped pieces of furniture in their collections. The firm later became 'Johnstone and Norman', trading until the early years of the 20th century.
