Biographies
John Dilworth
DUKE, Richard (II) Worked circa. 1764-1792 London UK. Son and pupil of Richard Duke (I), above. Address given in earliest authenticated work says that he was established ‘near the Eagle in Eagle Street’. In 1773 he used the same address as his father in Holborn, but by 1777 he was in Great Ormond Street. It is clear from the terms of Richard (I)’s will that father and son became estranged and Richard (II) did not benefit from the family business. He subsequently supplied cheaper quality trade work on the old Stainer model with painted purfling and very full arch. Some of these were sold by J. & J. Simpson. Duke, Junr. / London 1771
