Eyres of Chesterfield, Ltd.

Eyres Furniture Superstore Chesterfield is one of the biggest furniture shops in Derbyshire, with a huge range of leather and fabric sofas and chairs, tables, dining rooms, beds, mattresses, bedroom furniture, lighting, mirrors, pictures, carpets and curtains on three floors. Although started on a comparatively small scale in 1872, the business of Messrs. Isaac Eyre and Sons has rapidly grown, and it now assumes what may truly be termed large proportions, and seldom a day passes without one or two large vans leaving the establishment in Holywell Street, with heavy loads of newly purchased furniture. ....There is a splendid stock of all descriptions of furniture, including some handsome wardrobes in American birch and ash, and large sideboards with bevelled edge glass backs of the Queen Anne style. The shop, in fact, is surrounded with massive sideboards and cheffioniers, whilst the centre part of the floor is completely covered with bedsteads and a variety of household furniture. At the back of the shop is a room in which is stored immense rolls of matting and oil cloths of all colours and makes, and above the shop is a large storeroom packed full of bed ticks, looking glasses in properly arranged cupboards, and rolls of cretonnes, tapestries and mattress ticks...
