Thomas Love & Sons was an auctioneer, upholsterer, removers, house furnisher and antique dealer in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. [1] Based in Perth, Scotland, [2] it was in business for 140 years, from 1869 to 2009. It had four known locations in Perth during its existence: at 12–19 St John's Place (c. 1900–1960), in Canal Street (1948), in South Street (1960–1970) and in the Fair Maid's House (1965–1966). [3]
The liveries of the company's two-ton Lacre trucks in 1914 listed their services as "Decorations, Furniture, Curtains, Carpets, Bedding". [4]
The company's furniture was listed as being used at Blair Castle in the mid-20th century. [5]
The company became a member of BADA in 1948. [3]
