Originally known as A J Tear & Company Ltd, our company was established by Alfred Tear in a small workshop in the centre of Northampton. The 1950s saw the biggest change in the company. This was the change of ownership and where the Glanister family took over from where the tear family left off. The ethos of high quality, attention to detail and customer service was continued. John Glanister took over as the Managing Director and would continue to build and nurture the company until 1995. In 1995 John Glanister passed the business on to his son Robert Glanister along with all his experience and passion for bespoke furniture.
