Does anyone know when the first mirror/leather carp came into the UK? Donald Leney introduced them in the 30s (Redmire, for example, was stocked in 1934), having brought them in from Holland. Was he the first?
I doubt that any were brought in between 1914-18, for obvious reasons, so the first would have been pre-1914 or post-1918. My guess is that the first importations of mirrors/leathers were in the 1920s - although by whom I've no idea.
Anyone any information that might throw some light on the matter?
