Lot Essay

John Linnell (1729-1796) was one of the first English furniture-makers to be educated in design, studying at St. Martin's Lane Academy and his work was considered amongst the best of British design, rivalling his contemporaries including Thomas Chippendale, John Cobb and the partnership of William Ince and John Mayhew. Many of John Linnell’s designs are also preserved at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
