Marshall & Co. (1877-1886)
Marshall & Eaton; Marshall & Co.
Mape Street, Bethnal Green Road, London; japanned & pine furniture manufacturers (fl.1877-86)
In the late 1860s the furniture manufacturing business or possibly just the premises of Henry Sabbage at Sabbage’s Yard, Mape Street, Bethnal Green Road was sold to W. Marshall & R. Eaton. An advertisement in The Furniture Gazette, 3 February 1877, stated the business of Marshall & Eaton (late Sabbage) had been established in 1755 and were now wholesale makers of japanned washstands, tables, chest of drawers and all types of pine furniture at Mape Street.
The partnership of Marshall & Eaton was dissolved in 1877 [The Furniture Gazette, 28 July 1877]. W. W. Marshall & Co. continued to advertise in The Furniture Gazette and the issue of 2 April 1881 advertised the same japanned and pine furniture as previously and 3ft 6in cottage suites (£11), subject to a trade discount.
Marshall & Co. was listed in The Furniture Gazette: Classified List of the Furniture, Upholstery, and Allied Trades (1886).
