Footnote
Note: John Kendell & Co. were a Leeds based furniture maker whose quality was considered comparable to Gillows. They introduced a labelling system in the 1830s which included serial nos. and the workman's name. Unfortunately records for the company do not appear to have survived to provide further information.
