Henry Poole & Co

In this portrait the Emperor wears his full regalia, likely made by Henry Poole on Savile Row. Whilst this original portrait was destroyed many replicas were made with one available to view at the Bowes Museum in County Durham. Original portrait of Napoleon III was an oil on canvas painting by the German portrait painter Franz Xaver Winterhalter, created in 1853. The original portrait was lost in a fire in the Tuileries P

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as HENRY POOLE AND COMPANY (SAVILE ROW) LIMITED, number 00409961. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Our showroom and cutting room are situated on the ground floor, while our tailoring workshops and Livery Department lie just below ground level." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
