EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant and distinguished world of Garroulds of Edgware Road, London, as depicted in this advertisement from 1938. The image showcases the impeccable uniforms worn by the maids and servants who graced the homes of the city's most esteemed hosts. Garroulds was renowned for its commitment to providing not only high-quality linens and tableware, but also for the personalized touch of its staff. The uniforms, selected by the hostesses themselves, were a reflection of their artistry and good taste. The uniform on display features a pristine white organdie apron, adorned with a wine blue or green embroidered sprig. The ensemble is completed with a cap to match, boasting two goffered frills at the top and bottom. A velvet ribbon in the same hue as the cap adds a touch of sophistication, while the collar and cuffs are also coordinated to ensure a cohesive and polished look. This advertisement transports us back to the 1930s, a time when the art of entertaining was an expression of one's refinement and social standing. The uniforms worn by Garroulds' staff were more than just clothing; they were a symbol of the impeccable service and attention to detail that defined the company's reputation. As we admire this vintage advertisement, we can't help but be transported back to a bygone era, where the art of entertaining was an intricate and cherished tradition.
