Thomas Agnew & Sons.

The latest Thomas Agnew & Sons label that I have come across is almost identical to the first one posted, however the text 'Frame Re-Gilt By' is omitted and a new line of text states: 'Fine Art Publishers To His Majesty' also there is a reference number 1618


Here below is another Thomas Agnew label, this must be earlier than the one previously posted, no sons in the business yet, the address only mentions Manchester and while the street is the same, it is a different number. Posted on 1st August 2014:

Baird-Carter's Gallery


This half-label could be for Baird-Carter's Gallery, who traded from this address from 1903 to 1914 or later.

It seems from the National Portrait Gallery database of British Framemakers 1610-1950 that a carving, gilding, and frame making business was trading at this address '18 Silver Street, Golden Square, London' from 1801 to 1883 although the name/names were Jordan & Evans (to 1825) and then William Evans, and later William & Phillip Evans. I wonder if this frame is earlier that 1801 as it is a very good quality fully carved example, although it could also be later than 1883.
