Footnote
Note: The Bray Art Furniture Industry was a co-operative society formed in 1905, which employed up to 50 craft workers. Their work included domestic furniture fashioned from native woods, and was displayed in a shop on Bray's Main Street which opened in 1907. The Bray Art Furniture Industry was an important factor in the revival of woodcarving in Ireland, and was associated with the Irish Arts & Crafts Movement.
