Wright, Abraham (or Adam) (1790-1802)

Wright, Abraham (or Adam)

410 Oxford Street, London; upholsterers, cabinet makers and undertakers (fl. 1790–1802)

One London directory shows Adam Wright at this address (1790–1802), while another lists Abraham Wright here (1793–1800). This maker's trade card unfortunately does not assist as the name of the firm is stated simply as ‘Wright’. It states however that the firm were also cm and undertakers. The card is illustrated with a settee, two chairs and a commode.

A ‘Wright’ upholsterer subscribed to Sheraton's Drawing Book, 1793 and may possibly be this maker. F. & W. Wright was the successor to this business at the Oxford Street address.
