Footnote
Note: After working under the guidance of cabinet-makers Jackson and Graham, F. G. Collinson and G. J. Lock established their own firm in the 1860s and were renowned for producing Aesthetic and Art Nouveau furniture. From the outset, the pair hired some of the best designers and craftsmen in the country, including J. Moyr-Smith, A. H. Mackmurdo, E. W. Godwin, H. W. Batley and Stephen Webb. The quality of the furniture produced distinguished them from rival competitors and the firm is perhaps best known for their use of fine quality materials, intricate inlays and marquetry work. In 1897, the company was eventually taken over by Gillows.
