George Bullock
George Bullock was a leading London- and Paris-based cabinetmaker who, although he died at age 40, influenced decades of British furniture design in the 19th century. He was a key figure in his day’s Empire and Regency design movements, and his furniture was often described as "Grecian." Bullock's solid wood cabinets, bookcases and dining room chairs were highly ornamental, complete with intricate inlay and marquetry in ivory, ebony and brass.
Bullock was born in 1777 in Birmingham, England, a city known at the time for its skilled artisans and craftspeople. In fact, his father made a living as a toy maker. Bullock first trained as an upholsterer and furniture maker, likely in his father’s workshop.
After moving to London, around 1800, he quickly gained a reputation for his innovative designs and skilled craftsmanship. Bullock worked for several prominent cabinetmakers, including Thomas Seddon and John Gee, before launching his own workshop, where he produced furniture in a variety of styles. With a keen interest in archaeology and natural history, he incorporated into his pieces motifs inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art, as well as naturalistic patterns featuring flora and fauna.
Bullock's work was highly sought by wealthy clients and aristocrats, even the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte. He produced pieces for many important homes and public buildings, including the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and the House of Lords in London. His success in London allowed him to open a second workshop in Paris, where he continued to produce furniture until his untimely death in 1818.
