Lambs of Manchester

Lambs of Manchester was a prominent British cabinetmaking firm active during the 19th and early 20th centuries, known for producing high-quality furniture in a variety of revival styles. Based in Manchester, the company supplied both domestic and institutional clients and earned a reputation for its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Lambs often worked in the Gothic Revival, Renaissance Revival, and Jacobean styles, creating richly carved pieces using fine timbers such as oak and walnut. Their work was frequently exhibited and praised for its bold design, structural solidity, and refined ornament. The firm also produced ecclesiastical furniture and fittings, often for churches and public buildings, reflecting the Victorian interest in historical styles and moral purpose in design. Though less widely known today than some London-based firms, Lambs of Manchester contributed significantly to the decorative arts of the period and left behind a legacy of enduring craftsmanship and stylistic richness.
