Sull’opera
The firm of W. Homann & Son, of 60 Berners Street, London, were designers and house painters who specialised in creating elaborate ‘Pompeian-style’ decorative schemes. Their most prestigious commission came from Queen Victoria for Osborne House (c.1847-50), and throughout the 19th century they continued to design interiors for grand houses.
William Henry Homann originally established the firm in the 1840s. His son, Henry William Homann was admitted to the Company of Painters and Stainers in 1864. His son, H. A. Homann, continued the family business into the 20th century.
