Vintage G-plan from the mid 20^th century is currently fetching good prices at our Newcastle Auction House.

The furniture company was set up by Ebenezer Gomme in 1898 at High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and specialized in hand crafted furniture. During both world wars the factory was adapted to aircraft production and helped to build the DC9 and Mosquito aircraft.

In the early 1950’s Ebenezer’s grandson, Donald, assumed a leading role in the business. On the advice of an advertising agency, the brand name ‘G-Plan’ was adopted. Very quickly the ‘Brandon’ range was introduced, which was very contemporary and cutting edge at the time.

In the 1960’s the firm became heavily influenced by Scandinavian design, which was very popular at the time. A Danish designer, Ib Kofod-Larsen, worked with them during this period, producing a good quality G-plan Danish range, which tried to capture back some of the market from Scandinavian imports.

Other popular ranges throughout the mid 20^th Century included: Fresco, Chinese White, Quadrille, Tola & Black; Limba, Libretto and others. Designers included V.B. Wilkins, Lesley Dandy, Richard Young and R Bennett.
