George Bullock is celebrated as one of the most innovative cabinet-makers active during the Regency period. It is his individualistic ability as a designer that distinguishes the furniture and interiors created in his workshop from the work of his contemporaries. George Bullock died 1818 although his date of birth is disputed.
