Full description
The London firm of Collinson & Lock were established in 1870 and a year later published their catalogue of ‘Sketches of Artistic Furniture’. Their principal designer was T.E. Collcutt and they enjoyed considerable success throughout the 1870s and 1880s, merging with Jackson & Graham in 1884. They were themselves taken over by Gillows in 1897. The firm became especially well-known for their signature rosewood furniture with ivory intarsia designed by Stephen Webb.
