I'o THE NOBILITY, GENTRY, AND PUBLIC OF TILE
UNITED KINGDOM.
JOSEPH COOPER and SON, Looking-G'ass and
Furniture Warehouse, Nu. 5.3, Bishopagate.street Within.—'l
As general traders in our particular line, we have for half a century
given especial satisfaction to a highly reapectable and indulgent con.
nection, to whom we take this public opportunity of erpresideep-our
zealous- and determined intention to merit a continuation of their
future patronage.
With the change of the times and circumstances, however, which
have served to give a new feature to the speculation of trade, we
must necessarily vary our arrangements in business ; indeed it has
become the more imperative on Men of Capital and influence in
their respective circles to consult the public ercessities, because,,
owing to the change in the value of property, the manufacturer and',
the artisan are now suffering front the severe conipetition existing in
regard to prices, and because too many individuals make price more
than quality the leading object in view.
This state of things has given rise to a class of speculators who
have endeavoured to base& themselves, by offering goods of very
inferior manufacture, which; though apparently cheap, yield the
greater profit; they are shewy and decorated, but manufactured
without regard to durability, and consequently prove in the result,
a serious disappointment to the purchaser.
There has also existed an opposite extreme; another class of
Tradesmen have made such an exorbitant demand for their articles,
as to create surprise in the minds of purchasers how the great dis-
parity in the charge of different houses can be satisfactorily ex-
plained; we shall leave the question as it rests, and enter upon our
more immediate subject.
To be just in our dealings as Tradesmen, we must have a profit,
but we shall be satisfied with a moderate one, and therefore step
between those Establishments who offer the inferior manufactured
Furniture without regard to its quality, and thole on the contrary
whose extraordinary charges so justly alarm the prudent buyer ; by
employing none but first-rate workmen, give them wages suitable to
the times as they really are, and engage our Capital in the purchase
of none but, the best materials, and offer the character and credit
of an old established House to the more immediate patronage of the
Nobility, Gentry, and Public of the United Kingdom.
JOSEPH COOPER and SON, in thus offering the nature of
their business to notice, trust they shall not be conaidered as at
tempting what they cannot maintain and suppint, but prove that *eel
Splendour, Taste, and Solidity, no Establishment in the Metropolis
can surpass them, and at prices peculiarly conunanding. Their
Warehouse will be found to contain every description of the best
manufactured CABINET WORK, UPHOLSTERY, and
FURNITURE generally in use.
LOOKING GLASSES—From the immense reduction which
has now taken place, can be offered (even of magnificent sizes) so
low as particularly to Interest Noblemen or Gentlemen desirous of
fitting up their Houses with this elegant and fashionable article,
whether for the Drawing or Dining-room, Chambers, Staircases,
Windows, Conservatories, ltc. For Windows, Door Lights, or
exposed situations, their Plate Glass will be found in a relative de-
gree cheaper than Crown Glass. This article, for a small Insur-
ance, will be delivered, free front risk or breakage ; or large Glasses
forwarded by Spring Caravans, constructed for the purpose, to any
part of the Kingdom at a very trifling expense.
SECOND-HAND LOOKING GLASSES—Constantly on
Sale at a still more considerable reduction.
CARVING AND GILDING—In all its branch*, with a
rich assortment of Chimney, Pier, Cheval, and Toilet Frames, con-
stantly on view. Gentlemen desirous of having the Frames of
Paintings or Prints re-gilt will find the terms particularly deserving
notice. When the quantity is large, and Families are desirous of
avoiding removal, they may have them finished on the spot with the
greatest care and dispatch.
PAPER HANGING—In every decorative department, in the
first style of elegance upon such a reduced scale as will cause a
most material saving in large residences.
CABINET WORK—Manufactured in a superior manner,with
every attention to the newest Fashion and latest Improvement. In
this department will be found a great variety of the most elegant
articles admirably adapted for Noblemen and Gentlemen's Seats,
at prices reduced beyond all former precedent.
In theUPHOLSTERY ARRANGEMENT they have studied
so combine taste and elegance, and respectfully solicit the attention
of the Nobility and Gentry to the superband elegant manufacture
of Silk Damasks, Tabourets, &e. which, in consequence of the
reduced duty on Silk, they are no* enabled to offer on Terms so
comparatively moderate, as must establish this magnificent descrip-
tion of Furniture, for Drawing Rooms, Boudoirs, Saloons, &c. in
preference to the inferior Articles hitherto in use. Families who
prefer the rich and beautiful style of the Ancient Gothic will find
some handsome Specimens in that particular order, and can be
waited on in any part of the United Kingdom with Designs and
Patterns, at no other charge than the travelling expenses. Spring '
Caravans forwarded to any distance at a small charge per mile,
which saves all expenses of package, and prevents the risk of break-
age or injury.
CARPETING—In the Article of Carpeting they particularly
beg to call the attention of Families to a new Article just introduced,
to imitate the Brussels Carpets, extremely durable, and nearly
half its price. Brussels, Kidderminster, and Venetian particularly
reasonable.
SEASONED FLOOR CLOTHS—Fitted to plans, much re.
duced in price.
FUNERALS FURNISHED—And conducted with the
greatest attention, from the plainest to the must sumptuous ere
hibition of Mourning grandeur, and with consistent regard to eco.
nomy,without diminishing the necessary respectability.
SALES BY /SUCTION, APPRAISING, AND HOUSE
AGENCY.
They still continue to REGISTER ESTATES and HOUSES ,
for SALE in any part of the Kingdom, and trust that few Coo.
terns in the Metropolis arising from their long establishment, poe-1
sess more extensive connections for the disposal of property. House.
hold Furniture purchased at liberal Prices, or removed to conve-
nient situations for disposal, if Sales on the premises are objected to.
It is the principal feature of their Establishment to settle generally
within three days after the Sales have been effected, and to make,
no charge for Registering Property intended to be-disposed of by
Private Contract, unless absolutely sold through their exertions.
Estates surveyed and valued and Rentals collected.
JOSEPH COOPER and SON, having now fully explained the
immediate substance of their arrangements, most confidently affirm
that their prices offer a most important reduction for the advantage
of immediate payment, which they shall he glad to attest by re-
ference to some of the first Families in the Kingdom, which is the
hest proof of integrity and respectability; and once morebeg to so-
licit the general patronage of the Public.
Ladies and Gentlemen desirous of avaidiog the hustle of the City
will find an easy and pleasant access to Bishopsgste-street by taking
the route of the New-road and City-road through Finsbury-square.
