From 1861 to 1886 Wright and Mansfield were renowned, aside from high quality cabinet making, for their fine reproduction furniture. The firm caused a sensation at the International Exhibition in London 1862 with a satinwood cabinet incorporating Wedgewood plaques. This catapulted them into the public eye and led to many important commissions, such as those for Sir Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks at Guisachan, Invernesshire, and a suite of furniture, still intact today, for the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen at Haddo House, Aberdeenshire.
