History

The founder, Francis Lambert, started this business around 1803 and was joined around 1819 by William Rawlings. Together they bought the celebrated company Rundell & Bridge. Both retailers and manufacturers, Lambert’s occupied a magnificent shop in Coventry St, London selling high quality merchandise to the highest circles of society including HM the Queen. Lambert’s specialised in the unique and unconventional; gold and silver plate, old and valuable clocks, and fine jewellery. Francis Lambert died in 1842 and Lambert & Rawlings was continued by Rawlings alone until his death in around 1860. Lambert & Co took over Lambert & Rawlings in 1861 with George Lambert as proprietor. On his death in 1901 he was succeeded by Herbert Lambert.
