An article in The Furniture Gazette on 5 July 1879 said the new establishment would operate on a cash basis and the furniture would be designed by W. Fairbanks for ‘guaranteed good, artistic style’.

Finch & Company advertised in The Furniture Gazette, 12 July 1879 and in the same publication, 1879-1888, recorded commissions including:

In Over 40 Years In The Antique Trade I Have Witnessed The Enduring Popularity Of Kitchen Dressers. 20 Years Ago The Great Trophy Antique Was The Georgian Oak Welsh Dresser Selling For Around $15,000.

They Never Appear On The Market For The Simple Reason They Were Rarely Made. Enterprising Dealers Have Modified Colonial Kauri Chiffoniers By Removing The Backs And Adding Racks To Satisfy Demand. But This Totally Original Gargantuan Beast Is Without Precedent - Put Simply, You Will Never See Another.
