Wilkinson & Sons
Wilkinson & Sons was a London furniture business, active from 1808 to 1890, with locations at 14 Ludgate Hill and Old Bond Street. Founded by William Wilkinson, they specialized in furniture making, upholstery, and design. Initially, William partnered with Thomas Wilkinson, but they dissolved their collaboration in 1807, with William continuing the business.
They were known for promoting innovative patent furniture, and their pieces were variously stamped with the Wilkinson family name, using "Wilkinson & Sons" from the 1820s onwards.
In 1829, they conceived a table for architect John Rennie, commissioned by the Earl of Lonsdale at Lowther Castle. They were noted exhibitors at the 1851 Great Exhibition, and after William's passing, the business moved to 8 Bond Street. By 1871, it was managed by Charles Wilkinson and his son, Frederick, at two locations.
In the late 1880s, they produced furniture for the Century Guild and later formed Hindley & Wilkinson in the early 1890s, who would continue into the twentieth century.

The firm worked extensively for the Royal Family, being granted the Royal Warrant early in the reign of Queen Victoria, hence taking a leading part in the decoration and furnishing of Osborne House, Sandringham, Balmoral, Windsor Castle and the apartments of the Prince and Princess of Wales at Marlborough House. Holland and Sons also worked extensively for the British Government, for whom they executed over three hundred separate commissions, including the Palace of Westminster, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and oversaw the State funeral of the Duke of Wellington. Among their private commissions the firm produced a celebrated suite of bedroom furniture for the late Sir Harold Wernher at Luton Hoo.
