History
This firm of turners and manufacturers of lathes, edge tools and cutlery was founded by John Jacob Holtzapffel (born Strasbourg, 1768) shortly after his arrival in England in 1792. It was known (1804-25) as Holtzapffel and Deyerlein, and (from 1825) as Holtzapffel and Company. By 1799, if not earlier, J. J. Holtzapffel was working in Long Acre in the parish of St Martin in the Fields. Additional premises at Charing Cross were occupied from c 1811. For much of the 19th century Holtzapffel's shop was at Charing Cross, and the manufactory at Long Acre. The manufactory moved to Regent's Park in 1898. Holtzapffel and Company ceased trading in 1938.
