James Shoolbred and Co. of Tottenham Court Road, became one of the first large department stores in London. They expanded from a small draper business and started to manufacture high quality furniture circa 1870, for which they were given a Royal warrant by the mid-1880s.
A similar pair of stools with registration marks, was sold from the estate of Mary, Viscountess Rothermere, Christie's New York, 12 April 1997, lot 828. A single stool with the registration mark for December 1883 was sold anonymously, in these Rooms, 8 February 1996, lot 43.
