Barker-Ellis was formed in 1961 with the merger between Barker Bothers and Ellis and Co. These late Victorian and Edwardian designs marked Barker-Ellis are almost invraiably mis-sold as being turn of the century. This would be quite a feat for a company that did not come into existence until some 60 years later. We do hope that people stop making such an exhibit of themselves that could easily be avoided with a modicum of research.
