Thomas, O P (1843)

Thomas, O P

Carmarthen, Wales; furniture maker or dealer (fl. 1843)

In 1843 the furniture maker and entrepreneur Thomas Jenkins of Llanelli travelled to Carmarthen where he bought ‘9 mahogany chairs of Mr O P Thomas King Street for 16s’.  It is not known whether O P Thomas was a furniture maker but the low price suggests these were not new chairs.
