Liberty
London department store that sold oriental goods and then Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau objects, including Cymric silver and Tudric pewter by Archibald Knox.
Arthur Lasenby Liberty opened his shop on Regent Street, selling silk and objects from Japan and East Asia. He then commissioned designers and manufacturers for his own fabrics and objects in the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau styles.
Archibald Knox and others designed silver in the Cymric range and pewter in the Tudric range, and the fabrics were printed by textile printers in England. The mock-Tudor building of 1924 and the flowered fabrics make Liberty one of London's best-known department stores.
L&Co in lozenges, CYMRIC or TUDRIC and model numbers.
