James Gibbons Ltd. architectural fittings 1952
| The catalogue, issued in 1952, shows the wide range of
products produced by the company, including locks, door and
window fittings. It also contains images of some of the
prestigious schemes in which the company had been involved.
The extracts below give some idea of the vast range of
products that were produced. |

It seems reasonable to start where the catalogue
starts with photo of the mace brackets which hold up the mace under
the Speaker's Table in the House of Commons. They were made by
Gibbons to the design of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and A. Gilbert
Scott. The House of Commons suffered bomb damage in the Second
World War and was rebuilt immediately afterwards. |
Gibbons also provided the bronze door furniture used
throughout and also, of course, designed by the architects.
This must have been the most prestigious contract available
at the time and for a long time. |
