Description

The Garrick Bed
About 1775

This was part of a suite of furniture supplied by Thomas Chippendale for the Garricks' best bedroom in their villa. The bed was reduced from a double to a single in the 1860s. A valance from the original hangings is shown nearby.

Japanned (painted) beech and pine; the hangings are modern.

Made in the London workshops of Thomas Chippendale (born in Otley, West Yorkshire, 1718, died in London, 1779).

Given by H.E. Trevor, a direct descendant of David Garrick's brother George
Museum No. W.70-1916
