Lot Essay

Lamb of Manchester was founded by James Lamb (1816-1903), one of the leading cabinetmakers in Manchester. Acclaimed for his dedication to high quality construction and artistic design, he used only the finest quality materials and workmanship. An important name in the Aesthetic Movement, they produced furniture exclusively for the wealthy industrial families of the north, with a large showroom in the city centre. Lamb of Manchester laid the foundations for the Arts & Crafts Furniture that was to follow.
