William Whitehouse & Company (Empire Works)

Brueton Street, Birmingham

• William Whitehouse & Co. was a highly respected British brass founder and high-end lighting manufacturer
• The company operated during late Victorian, Edwardian, and Interwar eras but currently little more is know about the company.
• As a direct competitor to Best & Lloyd & W.A.S Benson they produced exceptional Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau electrical lighting fixtures.
• Their pieces will sometimes be marked with registered designs but regretfully it doesn’t appear that their lights were ever signed.
