The Coalbrookdale Company of Shropshire, England, was founded in 1709 and was famed for its cast iron work. In the 1840’s, the company’s chairman, Francis Darby, began developing lines of decorative furniture, designed in the ornate styles of the Renaissance, Gothic Revival and Rococo periods. Given its strength and resistance to rust, cast iron was ideal for the outdoors and for certain types of hall furniture. It was more economical to manufacture than wrought iron and featured at London’s Great Exhibition of 1851. Queen Victoria herself became a client.
