| Information about the maker
There are several entries for Fagioli in the records. There is Fagioli (Dominic) and Son in partnership at 3 Gt Warner Street, Clerkenwell (our address) from 1840-51. There obviously then moved to numer 10 from 1851-54. We can therefore date this item between 1840-51, probably about 1845.
