Footnote
Note: Established as 'Morant' in 1790 and becoming 'Morant & Co.' in the 1850s, they were one of the most prominent upholsterers and decorators in Britain at the time. The company received a royal warrant in 1825 for gilding and picture-framing, which resulted in a large amount of prestigious commissions for decorating the mansions of English nobility such as the Dukes of Sutherland and the Marquis of Exeter. In 1912, the firm merged with Francis Lenygon to become Lenygon & Morant.
