When it comes to royal endorsements, a century-long seal of approval speaks volumes. In a crowning achievement, Sanderson, the Chiswick-based fabric and wall coverings brand, has just received the coveted Royal Warrant from King Charles—marking 100 years since the company first caught the discerning eye of King George V in 1924.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II all existing warrants became void. After a two-year interval, during which time, new warrants from the King, Queen, and Heir Apparent could be applied for from May 2024, coming into effect in 2025.
