Fribourg and Treyer

Fribourg & Treyer was a British snuff manufacturer and retailer.

It was founded by Mr Fribourg in 1720, at the sign of the Rasp and Crown.

The business became Fribourg & Treyer, after the German-born Gottlieb Treyer married Mrs Martha Evans whose family had already entered into the business. They sold cigars and snuff and cigarettes from at least as early as 1852, from their premises at 34 Haymarket, London.

Customers included David Garrick, King George IV, and Beau Brummell.

The business closed in 1981. However, 34 Haymarket is a Grade II* listed building and the intact facade still exists.

Nowadays, Wilsons of Sharrow, based in Sheffield, produces snuff under the F&T brand.
