Collinson & Lock

Collinson & Lock was a leading Victorian furniture firm established in London in 1870 by Francis Collinson and George James Lock, both former employees of Jackson & Graham. The company quickly became known for its refined Aesthetic Movement and Anglo-Japanese style furniture. Collaborating with designers like E. W. Godwin, Bruce Talbert, and T. E. Collcutt, they produced pieces featuring fine marquetry, ebonized finishes, and Japanese-inspired forms. Their work was exhibited internationally, including at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial. In 1897, the firm was absorbed into Waring & Gillow, ending its independent operations but leaving a lasting design legacy.
