Industry and Ingenuity: The Partnership of William Ince and John Mayhew

English

By (author): Charles Cator Hugh Roberts

The first comprehensive study of William Ince and John Mayhews famous eighteenth-century cabinetmaking partnership, complemented by high-quality photographs of their work. The partnership of William Ince (17371804) and John Mayhew (17361811) ran from 1758 to 1804, and was one of the most enduring and well-connected collaborations in Georgian Londons tight-knit cabinetmaking community. The partners clientele was probably larger, and their work was arguably more influential over a longer period, than most other leading metropolitan makers perhaps even than that of their older contemporary, the celebrated Thomas Chippendale. Despite their considerable output and an impressive tally of clients and commissions, much of Ince and Mayhews work has remained unidentified until recent times. The authors substantial research in private family archives, county record offices and bank archives has allowed them to uncover much new evidence about the business and its influence within cabinetmaking circles. In Industry and Ingenuity, the results of these new investigations are presented alongside an impressive selection of more than 500 colourful, vibrant photographs of Ince and Mayhews works, many previously unpublished, which together emphasise the partnerships proper position in the pantheon of great eighteenth-century cabinetmakers.
