Sell Your William Ince Universal System Houshold Furniture 1760s London 

Ince and Mayhew were a partnership of furniture designers, upholsterers and cabinetmakers, founded and run by William Ince (1737–1804) and John Mayhew (1736–1811) in London, from 1759 to 1803; Mayhew continued alone in business until 1809. Their premises were located in Marshall Street but were listed in London directories in Broad Street, Soho, 1763–83, and in Marshall Street, Carnaby Market, 1783–1809. The partnership’s volume of engraved designs, The Universal System of Household Furniture, dedicated to the Duke of Marlborough (published in parts, 1759–63), was issued in imitative rivalry with Thomas Chippendale;^[3] Ince, who was a subscriber to the first edition of Chippendale’s Director, was chiefly responsible for the designs, while Mayhew contributed the greater part of the partnership’s capital, kept the accounts, and was in closer contact with the firm’s clientele among the nobility and gentry. The name of the firm originally appears to have been “Mayhew and Ince”, but on the title page of The Universal System the names are reversed, suggesting that Ince was the more extensive contributor.

Truman Home and National Historic Site. Truman was known for making use of his rocking chair, having mentioned it in numerous interviews including one with Edward R. Murrow in which he joked, ”I do an immense amount of it [manual labor] from a rocking chair.” Staining to the upper left of the upper cushion, else near fine. Accompanied by an 8” x 10” notarized LOA, mounted on a wooden plaque, from the charity sale’s chairwoman, Mrs. W. Howard Huffman of Independence, Missouri. Sold for $23,116.
