They dealt in fine furniture and mechanical music and then, assisted by their son Adam, became renowned specialists in antique maps and globes from the 16th to the 19th century. Always seeking the finest examples, they established a reputation for integrity, personal warmth and a wealth of knowledge with colleagues in the antique trade and regular customers at home and overseas.
