Rosie Fisher
In 1979, a young woman named Rosie Fisher had the vision to create a brand for children’s furniture and accessories, pairing quintessentially British design with the very finest standards of craftsmanship. Her ethos was driven by a belief that the ultimate gateway to luxury is dreaming creating pieces that stimulate the imagination of children and parents alike. The artisans behind her creations were affectionately known as “Dragons,” giving rise to the brand’s beloved name.
Royal Nursery
In 1982, Rosie’s hand-painted furniture captured the attention of an international elite, with Princess Diana commissioning Dragons’ work for the Royal Nursery. From that defining moment, the brand became synonymous with elegance and creativity blending heritage, luxury, craftsmanship and innovation to continuously stimulate fantasy and wonder.
