Notes
Charles A Hindley, Upholsterers and Furniture Dealers, of 31 Berners Street were established in 1773. They were initially carpet, rug and floor manufacturers. However, in 1844 they bought out Miles & Edwards, moving into their Oxford Street premises. Furniture marked with C Hindley & Sons, 134 Oxford Street can therefore be dated as post 1844. The firm operated until 1892.
The proceeds from the sale of this lot will be donated to charity.
