Edward France was a cabinetmaker and upholsterer in 18th century London and a member of the well known France family who held the Royal Warrant for over half a century. He was the nephew of William France Snr and older brother of William France Jnr, both of whom were cabinetmakers to the Royal Household. He was born in 1748 and died in 1777. He was made a Freeman of Lancaster in 1773–74.
==Early career==
Edward France was born in 1748 in Lancaster, the son of cabinetmaker John France.〔St Mary's, Lancaster, Parish Register. Edward France was baptised on 25 Sept 1748.〕〔Contrary to the major 'recognised' works on 18th century Cabinetmakers (e.g. The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660 to 1840 et al), Edward was not William Snr's son but his nephew. see reference 3 for Geoffrey Castle.〕 He worked with his Uncle, William Snr, as an apprentice from 1766 until 1768 and continued working for him until his Uncle died.
It is also recorded that Edward France & Co, Upholders of London were paid £12 12s on 3 July 1766 by the Duke of Portland for work done at Burlington House.〔Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660–1840 by G Beard & C Gilbert, 1986 (ISBN 0-901286-18-4)〕
