Item Description / Dealer Expertise

This chiffonier closely relates to a group associated with the leading early 19th century cabinet-maker John McLean. Examples from this group include a chiffonier in the Victorian and Albert Museum bearing McLean's own label, illustrated in Desmond Fitzgerald, Georgian Furniture, 1969, no. 140, and several other examples illustrated in Simon Redburn, 'John McLean & Son', Furniture History Journal, vol. XIV, 1978, figs 32b-34b. Shared characteristics included the combination of figured rosewood veneers and gilt-brass mounts, the construction of the lower and upper sections and the distinct pierced brass panels, which are of the identical pattern to these on a number of other pieces linked to McLean, examples of which are illustrated in Redburn, op. cit., pls. 36b, 38b, 39a-b, and 40a.

Country of origin England
Started working Circa 1770

John McLean of 34 Marylebone Street, Piccadilly (1814-1825) was a London cabinet maker working in the Regency period. A subscriber to Sheraton’s Directory 1803, he was particularly known for his fine cabinets and desks in the French taste, using cast and chased metal mounts. His later work with Boulle-like inlay and brass strips was often worked in rosewood. He advertised that he specialised in ‘Elegant Parisian Furniture’.
