| Description: |
Holder of the coveted Royal Warrant to Her Majesty the Queen, the Irish Linen Company was situated in London's historic Burlington Arcade from 1953 - the Coronation year - until December 2006. It now has an office outside of London where it continues to supply its illustrious clients. The Irish Linen Company has been a magnet for the naturally discerning for over one hundred and twenty-five years. Established in 1875 in the Midlands by the current owner's grandfather, then as now, the Company specialised in the sourcing and selling of the finest Irish Linens. During the 1930's the Irish Linen Company branched out into London's Bond Street, but faced with fierce opposition and a closing of ranks between the competition, ceased trading within six months. Undeterred the Irish Linen Company concentrated on developing its Midlands' operation, reopening in its landmark location of Burlington Arcade, Mayfair in 1953. Today over fifty years later, the Irish Linen Company remains the last family-owned firm of its kind in the world, and is now run by the tradition continued by Prue, wife of the third generation to run the business. Rooted in supreme craftsmanship, the Irish Linen Company's reputation centres on selling the finest linens on the market - its collection includes Jacquard weaves, delicate hand-embroideries and plain weaves which are stunning in their quiet simplicity.
