Stair & Andrew
We have recently discovered 2 volumes clippings and photographs of antique furniture, ceramics, glass and silver etc that came from the antique dealers Stair & Andrew. The volumes appear to have been visual resources for the directors of Stair & Andrew, and bear several stamps 'Stair and Andrew Ltd., Director'. The volumes are undated, but appear to date from the period around 1910-1915.
This volume, titled, 'Furniture, 21 Manchester Square, Vol.1.' contains a whole range of clippings from publications such as Country Life, and Connoisseur. They appear to have been used by the Directors of Stair & Andrew to identify and date objects. The earliest date recorded in the clippings in the volumes is 1904
