Abstract

In this article we will deal with the study of a British lacquer cabinet from the 18th century. It forms part of a private Andalusian collection. The aim of this study is to suggest it may form part of the Lazcano Suite, a collection of pieces of furniture which arrived in Spain in the XVIII century direct from the workshop of the famous cabinet maker Gile Grendey (1693 - 1780). With this aim in mind, stylistic and technical analyses have been performed to pinpoint the technical, structural and ornamental process of this cabinet. These studies are accompanied by a comparative analysis, both stylistic and technical, in the company of similar pieces attributed to the same origin and kept in collections in different countries. Special attention has been paid to two Grendey bookcases kept by the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Madrid.
