The firm of Wilkinson was established circa 1790 by William (d. 1833) and Thomas Wilkinson. William was an upholsterer and cabinet-maker who was particularly known for his patent furniture. By 1808 William had established a business of his own at 14 Ludgate Hill, London. Wilkinson built up a flourishing trade, with significant commissions from such distinguished clients as the Goldsmiths' Company. His sons William and Charles joined him in the business and it continued after their father 's death in 1833 as William & Charles Wilkinson. Wilkinsons of Ludgate Hill merged with Charles Hindley & Sons in the third quarter of the 19th century, and were known to be trading as Hindley & Wilkinson in 1909.
