Lamb made furniture to Alfred Waterhouse's designs for the Manchester Assize Courts, shown at Paris in 1867 and 1878, and exhibited 'Quaint' furniture at the 1887 Manchester Jubilee Exhibition; to which this piece of furniture stylistically relates to.

Lambs were absorbed into Goodall, Lamb & Heighway in 1899.
