See D. Bennett ‘Shapland & Petter of Barnstable, Arts and Crafts Furniture’ for references to Shapland & Petter making furniture for Gillows, page 72. Shapland and Petter furniture has become increasingly sought after by collectors and the prices of the best examples of decorated furniture have continued to increase in recent years as more is known about the company and their very distinctive style. Whilst the company was highly innovative in machine technology, they also employed many craftsmen who worked with their hands in woodcarving, marquetry work, design and application of decorative copperwork and other artistic embellishment in the true Arts and Crafts tradition.
