Catalogue Note
The firm of M., S. & Thomas Willson were listed as Upholsterers and Furniture dealers between 1800 and 1912. It is possible they were the descendants of Thomas Willson (1799-1854) who traded from Great Queen Street from 1821 and handed over the running of the business to his wife Mary in 1830.
