Waller & Sons were a firm of decorators. They had premises in Lyall Street, Belgrave Square, London, and worked mainly for wealthy clients in Belgravia. The company provided a large number of designs in the Anglo-Japanese style in the 1870s. It kept up with the changes in fashion when the brief period of British Art Nouveau started in the 1890s. However, the designs for bookcases and cabinets shown here represent the mainstream taste of the period.
