IT IS BETTER TO HAVE A TABLE CLOTH & NAPKINS WOVE AT THE SAME TIME AND THE PATTERN MUST BE THE SAME AS THE LOOM IS SET FOR': the daughter of the house practices good household economy. Whilst there is no ownership inscription in this volume, it appears to have been in the possession of the daughter of a wealthy, well-connected family (one of the inventories is of her father's plate). Her receipts come from a plethora of illustrious names, Lady Skipwith, Lord Kildare and Lady Chandos, to name but three, and she manages the linen and plate for a house in the country, Woodberry, and in town at Henrietta Street. The culinary receipts are a mixture of the fanciful designed to impress ('To dress a calves head like a turtle') and the domestic ('My little boys cake'). In addition there are several pages of inventories in various hands ranging in date from 1726 to the end of the century, meticulous record keeping accounting for every item. Whilst the best linen was of the fine Irish sort, she oversaw the weaving, presumably locally, of everyday material, noting 'Lockhit – Weaver – Donnington near Newbury – Berks – send the thread in March...'. From these pages we also know the names of the family's servants and their favoured suppliers, notably a Mr Bruckner, shoe maker of 32 King Street, who advertised himself in the later years of the eighteenth century as fine shoe-maker to her Royal Highness the Princess Amelia but, according to the London Gazette succumbed to bankruptcy in 1807.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
