History of the Makers - Johnstone, Jupe & Co. New Bond Street, London

The Partnership: The firm was established by John Johnstone and Robert Jupe at 67 New Bond Street, London, operating exclusively between 1835 and 1840.

The Split: Because the partnership lasted only five years before Robert Jupe left the business, any authenticated piece bearing the stamped or engraved signature of Johnstone, Jupe & Co. is exceptionally rare.

Later Successors: After the split, John Johnstone later partnered with John Jeanes, transforming the firm into Johnstone & Jeanes (1842–1880), which continued to serve aristocratic clients and the British Royal Collection
