Date

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.
