Description: | Oetzmann and Company had been advertising as 'cabinet makers, decorators & complete house furnishers' since 1848. In the 1930s they had extensive trade and manufacturing premises on Hampstead Road and a shop on Tottenham Court Road, which was known for its furniture shops. It was a destination for shoppers from out of town as well as Londoners.
The furniture sold by Oetzmann's was decidedly 'middle of the road', neither too traditional nor too modern. All suites were available on credit terms, with a down payment and then twelve monthly payments. Selling on credit was very competitive between furniture retailers at this time, with the repayment terms, rather than the initial sale price, being the variable.
