William Quilter (1808-1888) was an accountant. His notable collection of watercolours fetched £58,000 at Christie's in 1875; and the value of the remaining pictures at the time of his death was £31,486. Quilter died on 12 November 1888 at his home, 28 Norfolk Street, Park Lane, London, leaving well over half a million pounds, one of the largest known estates of any Victorian accountant. He had three sons, including the art collector and politician Sir William Cuthbert Quilter and the art critic Harry Quilter.
