18TH-CENTURY GEORGE II MAHOGANY LINEN PRESS, ATTRIBUTED, GILES GRENDEY
England, circa 1750
A fine and rare 18th century two-part George II mahogany linen press. Attributed to Giles Grendey.
The detailed dentil moulded cornice sits above a pair of raised and fielded figured mahogany shaped doors opening to reveal the original shaped solid oak slides and a hanging rail. The base fitted with four oak-lined dovetailed drawers resting on shaped bracket feet. This rare piece is of exceptional quality, great colour and patination and retains all of the original brass hardware and locks as well as side handles.
Giles Grendey was born at Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire in 1693. His workshop was at Aylesbury House, St. John’s Square, Clerkenwell, London and is most famously known to have supplied an order to the duke of Infantado for his castle of Lazcano in Spain.
