Company History:
Maple & Co Antique Furniture (1870 to 1950)
Company History:
Maple and Co was one the largest and most successful British furniture retailers and cabinet makers in the Late 19th Century, Victorian and Edwardian periods.
They were well known for fine quality, craftsmanship and were specialists in copying old designs but bringing them up to date to the more modern trends.
They produced many quality pieces of antique furniture in designs such as Hepplwhite and Chippendale but also were well known for their quality Arts & Crafts Furniture.
Maple & Co was first established by John Maple, a shopkeeper in Surrey, who later opened a furniture shop in Tottenham Court Road.
It was his son, John Maple, who pushed Maples & Co to be such a huge success.
With his skills in business, by the 1880s, they were the largest furniture store in the world as they exported their fine antique furniture to many different countries and were well known throughout the interiors world.
During the late 19th and early 20th century, they had showrooms and workshops in London, Paris and Buenos Aires.
In the late 1940s, after the World War, Maple & Co started to decline in sales due to high manufacturing costs and peoples tastes changed from the traditional look to more rounded Art Deco designs.
They were a little slow in the uptake of these new fashionable, fast manufactured and cheap designs so their business rapidly went into decline.
They eventually joined with Waring & Gillows to become Maple, Waring & Gillow.
