Wilkinson

Oxford Street, London; furniture retailer (fl.1833)

According to Loudon he had ‘extensive collections of Elizabethan and Dutch furniture and carvings, from which a judicious compiler of exteriors might clothe skeleton frames, so as to produce objects of curiousity and interest, at a very triffling expense’.

Also mentioned as one of a number of London firms who collected ‘curious and ancient furniture, including fragments of fittings-up of rooms, altars and religious houses; and rearrange these curious specimens, and adapt them to modern uses’ [Loudon, Encyclopaedia, pp. 1039, 1101].
