William Froom is recorded as a carver, gilder, and looking-glass manufacturer from 1825 - 39 at 136, The Strand. By 1829 he appears to have taken a partner, Cribb, and they trade under both names (cf. Geoffrey Baird & Christopher Gilbert (eds), Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, 1986, p.322).
