George Bullock<\/strong> (1777-1818) was a sculptor and furniture-maker based in Liverpool. <\/p>\n

George Bullock was born in Birmingham but moved to Liverpool with his brother William when he opened a museum of curiosities in 1801.<\/p>\n

In 1804 George went into business with William Stoakes, a looking-glass maker. They traded from a showroom in Bold Street, advertising themselves as \u201cCabinet Makers, General Furnishers and Marble Workers\u201d. <\/p>\n

In 1806 the partnership was dissolved and George Bullock took on the Mona marble quarries on the island of Anglesey. From here he shipped marble to Liverpool where it was used to manufacture chimney pieces and other decoration.<\/p>\n

His showroom at this time was described as providing \u201can extensive assortment of elegant and fashionable furniture including statues, figures, tripods, candelabra, antique lamps, sphinxes and griffins in bronze, marble and artificial stone. He was also listed as stocking a \u201cgood collection of ancient and modern busts…many of the most distinguished characters in Liverpool…modelled by himself\u201d.<\/p>\n

He showed his work at the Liverpool Academy and The Royal Academy in London between 1804 and 1816. In 1810 and 1811 he was the President of the Liverpool Academy. He moved to London in 1813 and was given a number of furniture design commissions, most notably for Sir Walter Scott and also to provide furniture for Napoleon\u2019s exile on St. Helena. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
