F. Sage & Co

Frederick Sage & Company was one of Britain's top shopfitters, supplying and manufacturing high quality fixtures, fittings, furniture and even shopfronts for some of the most illustrious department stores around the globe. Founded in 1860, the company gained its reputation exhibiting at the Centennial Exhibition of 1876 where their showcases brought them an award. In 1900, Sage & Co was the exclusive shopfitter for Harrods, a massive project which would last 5 years.
