GILES GRENDEY, Cabinet-Maker

Country England Lived 1693 - 1780

Biography

The 'Cabinet-Maker and Chair-Maker' Giles Grendey, who was described in 1740 as 'A great Dealer in the Cabinet Way', carried out a considerable export trade from Aylesbury House in St. John's Square. He was appointed Upper Warden of the Joiner's Company in 1747 and its Master in 1766. His son-in-law, John Cobb, was granted a court appointment as cabinet-maker to George III.

Records of Grendey's export business have never been doubted: a fire that badly damaged his workshop in 1731 also destroyed furniture to the value of £1,000, that he 'had pack'd for Exportation against the next Morning'. It is a tantalising possibility that the destroyed export furniture was intended for Spain and that the existing Lazcano suite is in fact its replacement
