G.W. Scott and Sons

G.W. Scott and Sons was a producer of fine wickerwork crafts, basketry, and luxury leather goods, founded in 1661 in the city of London, England, in the United Kingdom. The company ceased production in 1967. 〔Gulshan Helenka, Vintage Luggage: A Case Study , London, Philip Wilson Publishers Ltd, 1998〕
==History==

G.W. Scott and Sons opened their first store in London, England, in 1661. Due to fire damage sustained during the Great Fire of London, they were forced to relocated their company to first Old Compton Street and then Charing Cross Road, in the central part of the city. The company is likely most well known as having developed the modern form of the picnic basket, which was unveiled in 1851 during the "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" held in Crystal Palace of Hyde Park, London, the first of many world fair exhibitions during the Victorian Era. They also achieved a measure of international fame when G.W. Scott and Sons created 30 foot tall sculptures decorating the mall parade route for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, in addition to making the cradles used by the monarchy.〔Banister Judith, 300 years of basketmaking, Ephemera, 1961, London〕 Besides making specialty items for the British Royal Family and their residences (including silver baskets for Buckingham Palace),〔"The Complete History of Basketry" by Dorothy Wright, (p.30)〕 the company was also contracted by the government during the Second World War to make campaign trunks and furniture for the Army, and double hampers for parachute drops by the Airborne Division of the Royal Air Force.〔http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/G._W._Scott_and_Sons〕〔The Financial Times, "How to Spend It"|http://howtospendit.ft.com/home-accessories/42843-picnic-sets〕
