Giles Grendey mid 18th century cabinet maker

Giles Grendey (c.1725-1775) was an 18th-century cabinet maker who worked in London during the mid-18th century. He was one of the leading cabinet makers of his time and was known for producing high-quality furniture in the Rococo style. Grendey's work was characterized by its elaborate and ornate designs, often featuring intricate carving, gilding, and inlaid marquetry. His clients included members of the British aristocracy and wealthy merchants, and his work was highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs. Despite his success, little is known about his life and work, and only a small number of pieces bearing his name have survived to the present day. Nevertheless, his contributions to the development of Rococo furniture design confirm his reputation as one of the leading cabinet makers of his time.
