The term 'Furniture Van' is a reference to the Pantechnicon, a large van used for transporting furniture and other goods. The Pantechnicon was first established in 1833 as a warehouse and delivery service in London, England. It quickly became popular due to its efficient and reliable service, and it eventually expanded to other cities in the United Kingdom. The Pantechnicon was eventually replaced by modern delivery services, but it remains an important part of British history.
