Founded in 1841 by John Maple, manufacturing and retailing from the hub of the furniture centre in London’s Tottenham Court Road, and through the founder & his son’s drive and excellence of the products, the company expanded greatly, to have further workshops and points of sale in both Paris and Buenos Aires, and later, a shop in Smyrna. Clients included Queen Victoria and members of the Royal Household, the King of Siam, and Nicholas, Tsar of Russia. Later, Maple would furnish the Royal yachts, the QE1 and the QE2.
