Cole and Son was founded in 1875. The company was initially based in Islington, an area which was known at the time as a hub of design innovation. 190 hand block printing companies worked in and around the area in the 18th and 19th centuries. From their first year onwards Cole and Son were highly esteemed and printed for many recognisable and well-known companies of the time. In addition to their block printing they also supplied beautiful stripes and reintroduced the process of pan coating as well as reviving the Dutch process of flocking to create indulgent and luxurious results.

The company was bought by A P Cole who owned the company Cole & Son (Wallpapers) Ltd in 1941 and these companies coming together meant they were now in possession of the most significant and important collection of wooden printing blocks in the UK. There are now over 1800 block print designs and 350 screen print designs in the Cole and Son collection and this in addition to their expansive collection of original drawings and wallpapers. They have designs representative and typical of every period from the 18th to 20th century and use these designs to create their striking modern collection of wallpapers.
