This leading manufacturer of chandeliers was founded in 1756 by William Parker,  later becoming Parker & Perry before finally chaning their name to Perry & Co. in 1817, until closure of the business in 1935.  The company established themselves as London's most eminent glass manufacturers, providing fittings for Royal residences such as Carlton House and the Royal Pavilion, Brighton, as well as those of the senior nobility and gentry, including the well known connoisseur and collector William Beckford. From the middle of the 19th century the company was owned by Messrs Willis and Miley, who had purchased it from George and Richard Perry. Perry & Co. moved to Grafton Street in 1890 (see Martin Mortimer, The English Glass Chandelier, 2000, pp.150-155).
