Marsh and Jones began making furniture around 1850, originally known as ''Marsh and Jones: Medieval Cabinet Makers'' of Leeds, becoming Marsh Jones and Cribb in 1867 and exhibiting at the Paris Exposition in 1878.
They employed Charles Bevan, who in 1865 gave them licence to manufacture his successful ''New Registered Reclining Chair''. Bevan designed the furniture and interiors for the son of Sir Titus Salt, an enormous commission for his marital home, Saltaire.
Another leading architect and interior designer, Bruce J. Talbert, was also designing for MJC in the 1870s and 1880s.
