S. Belham & Co. was a London firm of builders and decorators, founded in 1865 by Stephen Belham (1827-91). Their resident designer was Henry Gibbons Murray (1852-1929), who set up his own business after Belham’s death.
They often used the fine quality glass of made by Jesse Rust (c.1826-1895) and worked with the architect J.P. Seddon.
