Furniture makers, was a Sydney firm that exhibited 'Gothic furniture for a complete bedroom, dining room, library, parlour’ at the 1888 Melbourne Centennial International Exhibition. The bedroom suite was acquired by the Powerhouse Museum from Lawson’s Sydney auction in October 1996. The dining room suite is at Abercrombie House, acquired by Rex Morgan at a Bathurst auction in the 1960s. A chimneypiece auctioned by Phillips in May 1996, now at Rona, Darling Point {or Edgecliff?} was part of the same 'Carrington’ exhibition suite. Because of the similarity in style with a Gothic Revival wardrobe at the Abbey, Annandale, Ann Watson suggests that all could have been designed by Parnell Johnson and made for Wallachs by Lyon and Cottier.
