Collinge & Co were cabinet makers and upholsterers based in Burnley and their address, in the 1883 Commercial Directory, was at 110 St James's Street, Burnley. By 1914 the firm is listed as Collinge & Co. Ltd and they described themselves as cabinet makers, upholsterers, house furnishers and decorators. As you can see, they made excellent, high quality, pieces of furniture.
The art Nouveau movement swept across the European continent at the end of the 19th century and lasted until around 1910, this is refelcted in many things including, furniture, jewellery, and architecture as Art Nouveau is considered a "total art style".
