Note: An established linen draper, John Wilson, Bond Street, London continued to credit Dresser as a company designer until 1910, although Dresser died in 1904. The company is known to have commissioned designs for linen damask from Ireland Brothers, Belfast and this is thought to be a rare surviving example.
