Morison & Co.

Morison & Co. were Cabinet-makers and Upholsterers established by Mathew Morison in Ayr, Scotland c.1808.

At Morison's death in 1862, William Reid took over his business. William Robert Reid (1854-1919), was made partner in the business in 1884. W.R. Reid ran the company until he sold it in 1902.

'The company was one of the first to undertake architectural restoration as part of everyday business and the first in Scotland to construct the interiors of trains-de-luxe, for which it became renowned' (City of Edinburgh Council, 1999).

Examples of Morison & Co. furniture can be seen at Lauriston Castle in Edinburgh.
