Hi,
I'm sorry, I can't help with the details of the bike (if that's the original badge transfer, it is in remarkable condition!)
This is Grace's Guide to historic UK businesses, which gives a history of the company.

It has this good April 1899 advertisment for a Triumph Tandem. I wonder if any survive?

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Incredible bike, Ed. Thank you for sharing. Is this original paint? Look at the collection of Triumph bicycles in the link below. Yours looks earlier the 1897 models featured. Looks earlier than 1895 too. (see ad)

I'm not sure on that headbadge transfer being from that early period that your bicycle clearly dates from; I thought they used brass headbadges early on, but I'm no expert.
Sorry I can't help more.
