Charles A Richter (1876–1945) started Bath Cabinet Makers Guild in 1892, its work was regularly illustrated in The Studio and the company soon began to receive international prizes.
A variety of styles were produced, from Parisian-inspired versions of ‘Adam’ to Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Arts and Crafts and streamlined Modern in a huge range of woods, solid and veneer.
Important contracts included furniture and fittings for Cunard’s luxury liners, the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. A proportion of its output was mass- produced, although the workmanship was always of a high standard selling in London stores such as Maples and Harrods.
