Bath Cabinet Makers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bath Cabinet Makers Ltd. traded for sixty-seven years (1892–1959)[1] in Bath, Somerset, England, with a history of furniture-making.[2] Under management of Charles A Richter (1876–1945) until 1934, its work was regularly illustrated in The Studio and the company soon began to receive international prizes.[3] A variety of styles was produced, from Parisian-inspired versions of 'Adam' to Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Arts and Crafts and streamlined Modern in a huge range of woods, solid and veneer.[4] Important contracts included furniture and fittings for Cunard's luxury liners, the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. A proportion of its output was mass-produced for cheaper markets although the workmanship was always of a high standard.
