Christopher Pratts Established in 1845

From a single-room miner’s cottage in Gunnerside, Swaledale to the largest and most lavish furniture store in the country at Regent Street, Leeds - Yorkshire, Christopher Pratts has come a long way in over 174 years. At the age of 21, Christopher Pratt became an apprentice to cabinet maker Joseph Nutter, and 5 years later, in 1845, formed his own business.

Store heritage

New store opened 2003

Quickly, the quality and craftsmanship of the furniture produced by Christopher, and eventually his sons, won over many new customers. The sons started selling the work of other craftsmen and soon the business became the north’s leading furniture store. The Company continued to grow rapidly, and in 1925 became one of the few stores in the entire country to offer wirelesses and later gramophones. In 2003 Pratts moved into its current purpose built furniture store on Regent Street, Leeds. In keeping with the beliefs and principles of its founder, Christopher Pratts has created the largest and most comprehensive furniture experience in the country.
