Showing jewellery by F. Leighton, L.F. Day, C.L. Eastlake and M.D. Wyatt they also went on to host popular ceramics exhibitions showing works painted by amateurs. Their stand for the Paris Exhibition in 1878 was designed by Lewis F. Day a contributor, along with Thomas Harris, of designs for Aesthetic Movement clocks. Silver goods by J. Dixon & Co and goods from Dressers Linthorpe Pottery and the Brannam Pottery were also stocked between 1880 and 1889. In 1881, their Regent Street premises were reconstructed to incorporate galleries for art pottery. The business was finally closed in 1911. (Information courtesy of Wikipedia)
