England, circa 1845
Charles Hindley & Sons, 32 Berners Street acquired the cabinet-makers, Miles & Edwards, 134 Oxford Street, in 1844. Originally a carpet and rug business, they produced reliable, well-made pieces of household furniture and secured many prestigious commissions. Henry Miles and John Edwards had established their shop in 1822 and supplied several country houses, including Burton Constable with gilt furniture 'carved in the style of Louis Quatorze'.
