Begining in 1906, the business was known as the Frame Shop of Hermann Dudley Murphy. It was incorporated in 1911 as the Thulin-Murphy Company. In 1914, the name was changed to the Carrig-Rohane Shop, after the Irish village of Murphy's father. In 1915, Murphy turned management of the business over to Robert C. Vose. At its peak, the shop employed fifteen people and provided custom frames to museums, galleries, and collectors throughout America. In 1939 the corporation was dissolved, and the operation moved to the Vose Galleries' premises.
