Homann & Son of 60 Berners Street, London, were interior designers and house painters. Their most prestigious commission came from Queen Victoria for Osborne House (c.1847-50), and throughout the 19th century they continued to design interiors for grand houses. It seems that William Henry Homann originally established the firm in the 1840s. His son, Henry William Homann was admitted to the Company of Painters and Stainers in 1864. H. W. Homann’s son, H. A. Homann, continued the family business into the 20th century. Under H. A. Homann the company seems to have diversified and undertook work for the Drury Lane Theatre, for which the donor believes these works to have been completed.
