Eleanor Coade was the driving force behind the celebrated Coade’s Artificial Stone Manufactory, which she co-founded in 1769. She perfected Coade stone, a unique, twice-fired ceramic that was more durable and weather-hardy than carved stone, making it the premier material for elegant architectural ornamentation. With renowned sculptor John Bacon as chief designer, the firm was commissioned by over 150 of Britain's finest architects, including Robert Adam and Sir John Soane. Coade’s legacy is preserved in the royal commissions and prestigious projects that feature her work, from the Royal Pavilion in Brighton to Buckingham Palace.
