The furniture business was founded by Swalwell-born cabinet maker Hedley Chapman (1814-1895), who established his own business in North Shields, England in 1847. In 1871 a new showroom was opened at 83 Northumberland Street, Newcastle. The founder was succeeded by his son, Hedley (junior) (1845-1916), and grandsons Hedley (III) and Norman H Chapman (1884-1972). The third Hedley Chapman died young, leaving Norman to lead the family firm. Until that time, Chapmans made their own furniture at the North Shields workshops, but these closed during the First World War. Thereafter, the company concentrated on the retail business. Goods were sold under the ‘Siesta’ brand, registered in 1920.
