Note: Henry Ogden & Son, based in Manchester, were prominent cabinet makers and upholsterers in the late 19th century, mainly active from 1862 to 1882. They earned a reputation for their high-quality, intricately carved furniture, often designed in the Renaissance and Aesthetic styles. Their main workshop was at 126 Deansgate, with additional facilities in Cornbrook.
The company gained recognition by showcasing their craftsmanship at various international exhibitions. At the 1862 International Exhibition in London, they displayed an intricately carved sideboard designed by Adam Broach. They also took part in the 1878 Paris Exhibition, presenting a rosewood cabinet by H. W. Batley and a satinwood piano forte, earning a silver medal for their work.
