A set of twelve oak & holly dining chairs, circa 1845, by G J Morant: with carved rose and leaf splat, with roses applied to legs & inlaid to the top with floral scrollwork: underneath seats painted "From G Morant, 91 New Bond Street". Provenance: Supplied to M.P.W. Boulton & thence by descent to Major Eustace Robb, Tew Park, Great Tew, Oxfordshire, sold Christie's house sale, 27-29 May 1987, Lot 196. Note: Upon its purchase in 1815 by Matthew Robinson Boulton (son of the celebrated Matthew Boulton), Tew Park was re-furnished by George Bullock (1778-1818) in the fashionable Grecian style, patriotically made of holly and British oak (a hallmark of Bullock's style). A Gothic library was subsequently installed with furniture supplied by the leading Bond Street maker, George Morant, who had previously worked at Tew in Bullock's time and made furniture to harmonise with Bullock's. M. R. Boulton died in 1842 so it seems likely that his son, Matthew Piers Watt Boulton (d. 1894), was the recipient of the Morant furniture. CONDITION REPORT: All chairs are structurally sound, the back rest of one chair is detached but present, needs re-glueing with one minor loss to the edge. Two chairs with the central holly splats detached but present need re-glueing. The chairs have original under seat covers labelled G. Morant, 91 Bond Street, London. An excellent set of twelve chairs that need minor restoration
