Antique Dining Furniture - George Oakley Furniture
GEORGE OAKLEY
The fashion for furniture in the Grecian taste inlaid in the 'buhl' manner was a speciality of the Bond Street cabinet-maker George Oakley (d.1841), whose 'Manufactory and Magazine for fashionable Furniture' was patronised by George IV, then Prince Regent.
Oakley advertised in The Morning Chronicle of the 23rd February 1799 "...to present to the Nobility and Public, an Assemblage of Articles... which for their superior elegance, novelty, and execution, will be found unequalled by any other House in London"
