Our Story
143 years, still in the family
Turvey’s began in 1883 as a Sheffield tobacco shop and has stayed in the same family through every chapter since — furs, fashion, the Blitz, and finally furniture. Six generations on, Neil and his son Alec run the showroom, and the name above the door is still ours.

The family turns to the fur trade, then fashion & millinery in the centre of Sheffield.

The Sheffield Blitz destroys the shop; after the war the family rebuilds in Rotherham.
