FOR THE FURNISHING OF DAVID GARRICK’S HOUSE IN THE ADELPHI LONDON: PUBLISHED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF HIS MAJESTY’S STATIONERY OFFICE, 1920. haqss4e PuBicaTion No. 125W. First Printed: February 1920. Crown Copyright Reserved PREFATORY NOTE. HE accounts printed in the following pages are a transcription of those rendered by the firm of Chippendale Haig and Co. to David Garrick for the furnishing of his house in the Adelphi in 1771 and 1772. In themselves they are of great value from the historical point of view: for the Victoria and Albert Museum they possess a peculiar interest in connection with the furniture from Garrick’s Villa at Hampton, which was acquired for the Museum in 1917 through the generosity of Mr. H. E. Trevor, with the co- operation of some admirers of David Garrick. A careful examination of the items gives reasonable grounds for assuming that the furniture in question was designed by Chippendale. The original manuscript has been presented to the Museum by Mrs. H. Sibthorpe Barlow, and I am glad to have this opportunity of expressing our sincere thanks for the gift of this important document. It has been placed on exhibition in the Woodwork Galleries (Room 57) near the Garrick furniture above-mentioned. The introductory note has been written by Mr. Oliver Brackett of the Department of Woodwork. Victoria and Albert Museum. Ceci, H. Smiru. February 1920. INTRODUCTION. ‘ie accounts of Chippendale, Haig and Co. referring mainly to the furnishing of David Garrick’s house in the Adelphi bear the dates 1771 and 1772, and thus follow the well- ‘known accounts of the same firm for Nostell Priory in Yorkshire (dated 1766 to 1770) and are contemporary with those for Hare- wood House in the same county, although the latter cover many more years.* The Nostell Priory accounts are made out not to Chippendale, Haig and Co., but to Thomas Chippendale, so that it seems that Haig became an active partner about 1770, a former ‘partner, James Rannie, having died in 1766. Thomas Chippen- dale himself, the most famous member of the family and the editor of the ‘‘ Director,” died in 1779, but after his death, and ‘during part of the lifetime of his son, Haig’s connexion with the firm continued. Accounts of this nature are valuable records of the furnishing and decoration of English houses during the eighteenth century. In many cases the houses to which they refer are still standing, but the hand of time has often wrought change after change in their decoration while the fluctuations of fashion have scattered the original furniture or spoiled the scheme of arrangement by the introduction of modern examples. Again, descriptions of houses by contemporary writers such as Horace Walpole, Mrs. Delany and Dr. Pococke fail as a rule to present a reliable picture, because the writers possessed no technical knowledge of their subject and recorded impressions rather than salient points which would enable the reader to reconstruct mentally the place described. Furnishing accounts, on the other hand, give the facts without embellishment and but little imagination is required to translate them into reality. The house in the Adelphi which David Garrick occupied in 1772 was built by Robert Adam.t The accounts here published * The Duke of Portland also possesses a bill of Chippendale’s (dated 1766) for two oval mirrors in gilt frames. t Now No. 5 Adelphi Terrace, occupied by the “Institution of Naval Architects.” 5 give an excellent idea of its furniture and decoration. In the case of the Drawing Room the walls were papered and finished with a gilt leaf border ; fringed curtains of green silk damask hung at the windows and the same material covered the chairs, bergéres (spelt ‘‘burjairs’) and sofa which were japanned green and yellow; two pier glasses (the most expensive items on the bill) were placed no doubt between the windows ; and the scheme of arrangement was completed by a third mirror, two pembroke tables and three commodes of inlaid wood. Similarly by a study of the accounts we can conjure up in imagination the characteristics of the Dining Room, the Library and the principal bedrooms. In all cases it is safe to assume that the furniture was conceived by the architect as part of the architectural composition, possessing a defined place in the room for which it was specially designed. This was essen- tially the policy of Robert Adam, and to carry out his conception was the work of Chippendale. Beyond the furnishing of the rooms, the accounts record payment for work of a varied character—furniture-removing, upholstering, paper-hanging, all the trivial details of a furniture- maker and decorator’s trade. In fact, it is plain from these and other bills that Chippendale, though evidently in his younger days a woodcarver and an artist, had after about 1760 developed into a general house furnisher and upholsterer, whose work showed no distinctive style nor character, but was dominated by the archi- tect or client who employed him. Attempts to discover some- thing of the character or the private history of the man have yielded but little result. That he came from Worcester with his father before 1727,* occupied workshops successively in Conduit Street, Long Acre, and St. Martin’s Lane, was elected a member of the ‘‘ Society for the Encouragement of Art, Manufactures and Commerce,” are the main facts known about his life. His fame rests on that most ambitious of trade circulars ‘‘ The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director,” which passed through several editions between 1754 and 1766. Illustrated in this work are numerous designs for furniture based in the first instance on traditions in- herited from the period of Queen Anne, on which later were grafted French, Gothic and Chinese forms and details following the fashions which prevailed in the mid-eighteenth century. On these designs posterity has based its conception of the so-called Chippendale style. From a study of the accounts, however, it becomes evident that by about 1765 Chippendale had abandoned the familiar types of mahogany furniture found in the “‘ Director,” * See “English Furniture Designers of the 18th century’ by Constance Simon. London, 1905. and was designing inlaid and painted pieces which bore no resem- blance in form nor decoration to the examples popularly asso- ciated with his name. : In the decoration of their house in the Adelphi, as well as in the villa at Hampton, there is little doubt that Garrick and his wife were ambitious to rival the imposing mansions which in their later years they were in the habit of visiting. ‘He now lives rather as a prince than as an actor . . . his table, his equipage, and manner of living, are all the most expensive and equal to those of a nobleman” was the remark of Dr. Johnson about three years after Garrick had moved to the Adelphi. The house, soon after its completion, was visited by Fanny Burney who has recorded her impressions: ‘‘ We went yesterday to make a round of visits, and drank tea at Lady Dalston’s, a very old acquaintance of both my father and mother. I shall take notice of only two of the houses we stopt at. And first we were so happy as to be let in at Mr. Garrick’s and saw his new house in the Adelphi Buildings, a sweet situation. The house is large and most ele- gantly fitted up.” To-day the structure of the building remains untouched, and the rooms, though shorn of Chippendale’s fur- niture and the brilliant wall-papers and curtains, still show the painted and plaster ceilings, the carved doors and chimney-pieces which bear witness to the skill of Robert Adam.
