Unusual Artifacts: Messrs Waller & Sons Designs For Furniture and Settings, 1895

the V&A
Interior Design Sketches, 1895
The Victoria & Albert Museum





Waller & Sons were a fashionable firm of decorators with premises in Lyall Street, Belgrave Square, London. There, they famously worked for the super-wealthy families of Belgravia who clamored for their designs in the Anglo-Japanese style which flourished in the 1870s.

This book of their designs from 1895 has been neatly preserved and shows  designs for bookcases and cabinets which represent the mainstream taste of the period.
