Abstract (en)

Draws attention to George IV's purchases of gilt bronze from English - rather than French - craftsmen. Considers commissions undertaken by Samuel Parker, and highlights work carried out by Benjamin and Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy. Discusses mounts on furniture, wall lights, candelabra, chandeliers, clock cases and fire-dogs as well as ornaments for chimneypieces and embellishments to porcelain and lacquer vases.
