Lot Essay

George Simson is listed at 19 St. Paul's Churchyard, London, from 1780 - 1839, yet for such a long-lived business, little is known of his customers. There were payments from the 2nd Viscount Palmerston and a bill dated 13 February 1809 is in the accounts for Gorhambury House, Herts (C. Gilbert, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660 - 1840, Leeds, 1986, p. 817).
