A set of six George II walnut ladder back dining chairs, by Giles Grendey. Giles Grendey was one of London`s most successful 18th century furniture makers. He was apprenticed in London Joiner`s Company in 1709 and became `free` in 1716. By 1720 he was running his own workshop, taking his first apprentice in November 1720. Grendey set up shop in St. John`s Square, Clerkenwell, where it remained for the rest of his career. His dwelling house was close by at No.2, Lyon Street. In 1729 Grendey was elected to the Livery of the Joiner`s Company and served as Upper Warden in 1747 and 1757, before becoming Master in 1766. By this time he was 72 years old and had probably retired from full time business. By 1779 he had moved to a country estate in Palmer`s Green, where he died on 3 March 1780, aged 87. Grendey`s workshop was on the site of the former London house of the Earl of Aylesbury. It was far larger than most furniture shops, and this suggests that Grendey was both ambitious and well funded. When his workshop was struck by fire in 1731 over £1,000 worth of stock destined for export was destroyed. Yet compared with contemporaries such as Thomas Chippendale, relatively little is known of Grendey`s work. Known documented commissions are few and cannot easily be reconciled with extant furniture His reputation rests primarily on surviving pieces bearing his trade label. About fourteen labelled items and suites are known, including the spectacular Lazcano commission of at least seventy-seven red and gold japanned items, now widely dispersed. The Newport church chairs were first recognised and published by Simon Jervis in 1974. No documentation survives and it is not known how and when these dining chairs came to be in Newport Church.. The chairs can be approximately dated by the style of the label which, although fragmentary, corresponds to the shorter of two versions employed by the Grendey workshop. Other furniture bearing this label can be dated on stylistic and technical grounds to the 1740s or later, and so the present chairs are likely to have been made in the middle years of the 18th century. The ladder-back style derives ultimately from the so-called `Dutch chairs` of the early 18th century; these ladder-backed, turned and rush-seated chairs were imported from Holland in huge numbers from the late 17th century onwards, and were also widely copied by English chair-makers. The Grendey examples are `polite` versions of the form, demonstrating its acceptance into mainstream English furniture-making. Chairs of this type were typically furnished with rush or `matted` seats, a cheap and popular alternative to the more expensive upholstered drop-in seat. The present boarded seats are replacements, installed some time before 1974. The rush seat now fitted to no. VI was made while the chair was on loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Marks and stamps: the chairs frames are not numbered, but the later boarded seats are numbered I to V in ink on the undersides. Chair no. V and the labelled chair are stamped T C on the inside of the back rails (other chairs may be stamped but the later seats obscure much of the seat rails). This stamp is hitherto unrecorded. Others chairs bearing Grendey`s label are also stamped with various initials, assumed to be those of journeymen employed in Grendey`s workshop. Selected literature: R. W.
