Specialist note

These chairs are probably from the workshop of Giles Grendey (d. 1780), reinforced by the 'ID' stamp on the seat-rails. Seat furniture by Grendey is sometimes stamped with initials: ‘HW’, ‘EA’, ‘GIL’, ‘TM’, ‘IT’. ‘TT’, ‘MW’, and ‘ID’ - these are stamps of the individual chairmakers that Grendey employed (Ed. G. Beard, C. Gilbert, The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, Leeds, 1986, p. 372. For more information, see lot 244.
