George Austin (cabinet maker) was registered at 7 St Andrew's Street in 1827 but likely that his business had been established some years prior. He made and sold writing desks, dressing cases and military canteens as well as fancy goods. By 1840 his shop was known as Austin's Manufactory. His son (Thomas) joined the business and soon after they win a silver medal from the Royal Dublin Society at the exhibition of 1844. In 1847 George was appointed cabinet maker to Lord Clarendon (Lord Lieutenant of Ireland). The business expanded into larger premises at 39 Westmoreland Street where in 1862 the Dublin Street directory lists Thomas and George Austin as dressing case and dispatch box manufactures to the Viceregal Court, cutlers, stationers and importers of French and foreign fancy goods, late of St Andrews, Street. In 1883 Austin & Company Ltd acquire the business and purchase No 38 Westmoreland Street in an effort to expand and advertise that they are now selling repousse work, jewellery and china. In 1891, Edward R Moore, buyer and Managing partner resigns and sets up his own company in competition at 86 Grafton Street. In August 1891 the shareholders decide on the voluntary liquidation of the company due to the ill health of Thomas K Austin. Viewing welcomed - please contact us in advance.
