Originally founded in the 1890s by Morris Epstein, the Epstein Company would become one of the most recognisable and high-quality producers of Art Deco furniture from the 1930s to the 1950s. The Epstein family were amongst a number of Jewish immigrants from the Baltic States and the Balkans, who then established a cabinet-making community in Londons East End, particularly in the Shoreditch area.

Initially, they traded out of furniture outlets in the area, such as Weinbau, Caplan & Percy Young. All of Morris six sons carried on in the furniture-making profession, and in 1929, two of his sons Harry and Lou established H & L Epstein Furniture Designers and Manufacturers and by the 1930s the company totalled 15 men, with Harry as designer and Lou as cabinetmaker. Harry and Lou, as well as their brothers David, Michael and Sidney, would go on to establish their own shops and showrooms in London, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin. Epsteins furniture was influenced by customers whose tastes echoed the avant-garde styles such as those seen at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts which occurred in Paris in 1925. In particular, they were well-known for cloud-shape designs, featured on lounge and dining suites, and boat-based designs featured on tables and cabinets. They also took a significant amount of commissions, producing furniture to customer specifications, using materials such as burr maple, sycamore and walnut veneer, all of which was hand made using traditional cabinetmaking skills. Earlier furniture, before 1940, while not stamped, can still be recognised due to its style, materials used, and quality of construction.

From the 1950s, Epstein furniture started being constructed with ivorine labels, either stamped H & L Epstein Ltd or Epstein & Goldman. Epstein furniture was widely considered as being of very high quality, and consequently their pieces are very sought-after today.
