Antique Dealers: the British Antique Trade in the 20th Century

Harman and Lambert trace their history to Francis Lambert (b.1778), who established a shop retailing jewellery and making and retailing silver at 11-12 Coventry Street, London in 1803. William Rawlings entered the partnership in c.1819 and the business was renamed Lambert & Rawlings. 

In 1916 the Lambert & Rawlings business was absorbed into Harman & Co and became Harman and Lambert.
