Following a brief period in which the firm was known as Taprell, Holland Son c.1835-43, William Holland gained sole command of the firm after the retirement from the business of the senior partner, Stephen Taprell. From 1843 onwards they were known as Holland and Sons and were quick to obtain numerous exclusive and significant commissions, as well as working for important clients. Indeed by 1851, when the company was based in Mount Street and employed 351 people, Queen Victoria had already commissioned the execution of numerous exceptional pieces of furniture for the Royal households of Balmoral, Sandringham, Windsor and Osborne House. During the latter half of the 19th century, Holland and Sons also supplied furniture for such notable London clubs as the Athenaeum, the Reform club and the Oxford and Cambridge club. On top of furnishing a number of government buildings, the firm also supplied pieces for various British and European exhibitions, including the famous Great Exhibtion of 1851. Their output included works in a vast array of revival styles ranging from Louis XV, Louis XVI and Neoclassical, Elizabethan and Gothic, to name but a few. Sadly in 1942 they terminated trading altogether. The above lot is most likely one executed by Holland and Sons during the peak early Victorian period of their productivity and renown. George Betjemann Sons: George Betjemann Sons was a London-based cabinet maker founded in 1851 by George Betjemann, and based at 36-40 Pentonville Road. It became George Betjemann Sons in 1858 when his two sons, George William and John (grandfather of the Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman) joined the firm, and displayed their work at the International Exhibition of 1862 and also at the Paris International Exposition in 1867. The firm continued with various generations of Betjemann sons, converting into a limited company in 1909 until 1939 when it was sold.
