The Bombay Company was founded in 1975 and began as a mail order business based in New Orleans. The "Bombay Company" name was intended to conjure up the glory days of the British Empire and the jewel of the empire, Bombay.
The company sold mahogany finished reproductions of 18th and 19th century English furniture.
In February of 2008 the business was bought by a privately held, family owned company, renamed Bombay & Co., Inc. and is now 100% owned and operated.
Bombay & Co., Inc. operates 46 stores across Canada and offers large furniture, small, occasional furniture, wall décor and home accessories.
