Robert Manwaring
Robert Manwaring was an English 18th-century furniture designer and cabinet maker. The dates of his birth and death are unknown. Biography He was a contemporary and imitator of Thomas Chippendale, and not the least considerable of his rivals. He prided himself upon work which he described as "genteel", and his speciality was chairs. He was in business in the late 18th century at the Haymarket in London. He manifests the same surprising variations of quality that are noticed in the work of nearly all the English cabinet-makers of the second half of the 18th century, and while his best had an undeniable elegance, his worst was exceedingly bad: squat, ill-proportioned and confusing. Some of his chairbacks are so nearly identical with Chippendale's that it is difficult to suppose that the one did not copy from the other, and most of the designs of the greater man enjoyed priority of date. During a portion of his career, Manwaring was a devotee of the Chinese taste; he likewise prac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
