Heritage Inspiring Design: GP & J Baker

For more than 130 years, the name GP & J Baker has been synonymous with exceptional design. From its founding  in 1884 by brothers George Percival and James Baker,  the brand has evolved into a global leader in the interior design world.

While the company has proudly held a Royal Warrant since 1982, a momentous new chapter was etched into its history in late 2024, when GP & J Baker was granted  The King’s Royal Warrant. This prestigious accolade from His Majesty King Charles III not only recognises the brand’s unwavering commitment to excellence, but also its alignment with a contemporary royal vision that prizes sustainability, environmental awareness, craftsmanship  and heritage.

The firm’s trajectory remains resolutely forward-looking. Its recent ‘Royal Court’ collaboration with Historic Royal Palaces successfully translated centuries of architectural and botanical history into a second vibrant collection of fabrics and wallpapers. This partnership serves as a bridge between the storied past of the British monarchy and the aesthetic demands of the modern home. By skilfully adapting its world-renowned archive of textiles for today’s palettes, GP & J Baker proves that history is not static, but a living, breathing influence and the company remains the quintessential custodian of British elegance.

GP & J Baker’s London showroom, located at the Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, offers interior designers one convenient resource for their projects, offering a wide range of exceptional fabrics and wallcoverings to suit a variety of different decorating styles.
