Antique Desks and Antique Office Furniture by Heals (Heal and Son) of London

Heal & Son (“Heals”) has a distinguished history in furniture manufacture and retailing since its establishment as a furniture store by John Harris in 1810. The firm was first located in Tottenham Court Road, London in 1811 and, by the middle of the 19th century, had begun to move from its original focus on beds to include bedroom furniture. By the 1880s its activities had expanded to include a new department for sitting room furniture. In 1893 Ambrose Heal joined the family business and for the next 60 years played an important role in building the reputation of the firm as a leading London retailer of good quality interior design and furniture. In the years before the First World War he helped promote an arts and crafts ethos in many of the products sold by the company.
