Maple & Co. was a furniture maker and retailer based in London. The company was founded by John Maple (died 1900) but it was under his son, Sir John Blundell Maple, 1st Baronet, (1845-1903) that it achieved greatest success. By the 1880s its showroom at 141-150 Tottenham Court Road was said to be the largest furniture shop in the world and supplied the elite of British society.

Maples was primarily a furniture store but sold everything for the complete house interior, including carpets, fabrics, lighting, china, glass and cutlery. The cutlery was almost certainly made in Sheffield but the identity of individual manufacturers is unknown. However, the word Rustnorstain etched on the blades of some Maples table knives provides a clue to the name of one of the Sheffield firms involved. Rusnorstain was the trade mark of R. F. Mosley & Co. Ltd. which was the first company to manufacture and market cutlery produced from what became known as stainless steel. The mark was registered in September 1924, although the company claimed that it had been used from November 1914, and these knives would have been made by Mosley for sale in the Maples stores.

Maples began to decline after the Second World War as fashions changed and costs increased. In 1980 it was acquired by furniture maker Waring and Gillow and it subsequently became part of the Allied Maples group. It went into receivership in 1997.
