.... .the introduction.

Heal & Son was one of the major manufacturers and retailers of well-made, well-designed Arts & Crafts furniture for the middle class. Simple and stylish, Heal's pieces perfectly synthesize the varying influences of William Morris, Baillie Scott, and the Cotswold craftsmen such as Edward Barnsley and Ernest Gimson. Ambrose Heal's involvement with the Arts and Crafts Movement helped developed the firms distinctive simple, vernacular style, which was seen in the furniture produced and later translated into the spectacular "Heal's Building" on Tottenham Court Road. The building was constructed between 1916 and 1962 in two main blocks. The original Heal's building on the south side of the site was rebuilt in 1916 with a Portland stone façade and a colonnade entrance to the design of Cecil Brewer. The northern building was completed in 1962 to provide additional showrooms and office space.
