Address initially 77 Whitechapel, but by 1832 in partnership with his brother Edward at Adelaide Buildings, Ranelagh Pl. The partnership declared that they were in a position to supply ‘Chimney Glasses, Mirrors & Dressing Glasses, of all sizes & of every description; Ornamental, Gilt & rosewood Pier Tables, Window Cornices, Picture Frames & Gilt Mouldings for Rooms’. The services offered included picture cleaning and restoration, the re-silvering of glass and the regilding of frames. The trade and ship's captains were invited to patronise their services.
