OVER THE YEARS

^
1895

Founded

The company was established in 1895 where James O’Neill, a Tin Smith by trade, along with his sons made pots, pans and canisters.

^
1950

Expanding

His son Edward took over the business in the 1950s and introduced a wide range of products including metal kitchen canopies, gift art, sculptures and fireplace hoods.

The openness to adapt to modern trends lead the business to expand supply to Ireland, wider UK and parts of Europe. It was quickly noticed that architecture was becoming more popular.

1990

Made to Order

In the 1990s, Edward’s son Paul took over the reigns. With industrial change, the demand for bespoke canopies, fireplace hoods and gift art began to decline. Paul responded by researching other booming markets such as architecture and design. This move paved the way for Rathbanna’s success and the company still thrives on supplying superior metalwork to top architects and interior designers.
