Samuel Lamont
Samuel Lamont is a legacy Irish linen manufacturer with nearly 200 years in business and a reputation unmatched by competitors. Founded in 1830 by Samuel Lamont in County Armagh in what is today Northern Ireland, the company is still headquartered where it began, in the small town of Lurgan, and is still family-owned and operated by the descendants of Samuel Lamont. Today, David Lamont serves as chief executive, ensuring that the family values of quality and perfection are maintained at every step of the manufacturing process. Samuel Lamont was originally established as a bed linen company, innovating the mass production of woven textiles and eventually acquiring a Royal Warrant from the Queen of England for the sale and supply of bed linens to the royal family. The company was a founding member, too, of the Irish Linen Guild, of which it is still a member today. In the 1950s, the company began to diversify, entering into the markets of textile printing and terry towel production. Today, it ranks among the most successful household linen companies in Ireland, renowned for its quality as much as its range of items. From high-end damask tablecloths and napkins to funny cotton printed tea towels that feature a smorgasbord of Irish iconography, from recipes for Irish coffee to a collection of cats in various states of excitement or repose there's a perfect Irish piece for every occasion, whether you're setting an elegant table or just adding a bit of whimsy to your kitchen. Samuel Lamont partners with Irish artists for some of their most popular print designs. Designs featured by Jo Stockdale, Kate Mawdsley, Belinda Northcote, Juli & Dodsworth, Claire Louise, Rupert Fawsett, and Alex Underdown all take inspiration from the mingling of humans and animals throughout Ireland.
