The homeplace of a British lord with Ancient Egyptian doodads sprinkled around. Not as odd as the lord who managed to illegally purchase a sarcophagus that had been buried in a desert tomb so he could be interred in it later, however. Imagery from the privately published 1851 work “Ædes Hartwellianæ: or, Notices of the manor and mansion of Hartwell.” Written by W. H. Smyth and found in a back corner of the Internet Archive.

Looking for a few up to the minute decor ideas before the Empress Eugenie comes to stay. Imagery from “The illustrated catalogue of the Universal Exhibition” which was held in Paris in 1867. The catalogue appeared in print as a supplement to the publication “The Art-journal” in 1868.

Messrs. Winfield and Company, of Birmingham, who have long-established repute for the production of works in Brass and Or-molu, more especially Bedsteads and Chandeliers, contribute several works of a high order, with reference to design as well as execution. of the CHANDELIERS we give two admirable examples; they are of considerable merit, and confer honour on the great capital of the metal district. We add one of the suspending pillars. Those who call to mind the collection exhibited by this eminent firm in 1862, will readily believe that these contributions manifest exceeding and invaluable perfection of finish.

The Paper-hangings (PAPIERS-PEINTS) of Paris maintain their high position; they have an excellence which the artists and artisans of other countries vainly strive to reach. We engrave on this page the decoration of the side of a room, and part of another, the manufacture of M. HOOUK, the successor of the long-renowned firm of DELICOURT, to which firm France was largely indebted for its supremacy in this art. The designs are applied by an eminent artist, M. VICTOR DUMONT. We can give no idea of the brilliancy and harmony of the colours employed.

George French Argas was an English explorer, naturalist, painter and poet. In 1846 he went to what is now South Africa, where he spent two years in Natal and the Cape. I don’t think he was one of those artists who accompanied explorers because the book these are taken is dedicated to Major-General Sir Harry Smith, Bart. G.C.B. who was Her Majesty’s High Commissioner for the Cape of Good Hope.

Also, this is more faded out than many of these and I can’t make out the names of the lithographers for the various plates. Often the lithographer (s) is listed on the title page but not here.

I would assume they were selling the store fronts (shop fronts) which could then be installed at your place of business. This is their only catalogue that is turning up online. They were listed as a firm working with masonry with the French government back in the mid 1960s but that’s all that turns up at least as of today.
