The shop opened in 1875 selling ornaments, fabric and objets d'art from
Japan and the East. Within eighteen months Arthur Liberty had repaid
the loan and acquired the second half of 218 Regent Street. As the
business grew, neighbouring properties were bought and added.
In 1885, 142-144 Regent Street was acquired and housed the
ever-increasing demand for carpets and furniture. The basement was
called the Eastern Bazaar, and was home to all things described as
"decorative furnishing objects". He named the property Chesham House
after the place in which he grew up. The store became the most
fashionable place to shop in London and iconic Liberty fabrics were
used for both clothing and furnishings. Its clientele was exotic and
included famous members of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
