Lot Essay

The chest may have been brought to Chirk by Sir Richard Myddelton, 3rd Bart.(d.1716). Its cornice, concealing a drawer in the torus moulding of its Ionic entablature, corresponds to that of a 'scriptor' writing-cabinet bearing the label of the Aldermanbury cabinet-maker Hugh Granger, whose sale of stock took place in 1706 (C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture, Leeds 1996, fig 418).
