COMPANY INFORMATION
The General Trading Company is credited as having opened the first wedding list service back in 1920 when the shop was first established.
For over eighty years we have been perfecting our wedding list service and we aim to provide a personal and friendly experience backed up by the latest technology. Located in the luxurious surroundings of GTC’s Sloane Square shop, it combines the very best face-to-face service with the speed and convenience of its on-line facilities.
But perhaps most important is The General Trading Company’s reputation for sourcing the finest products from around the world, offering couples an unrivalled selection of glass and chinaware, contemporary and traditional furniture, oriental and African artefacts and kitchenware.
