Glamorganshire / John Boykett Jarman
« on: Saturday 06 July 13 15:26 BST (UK) »
I am researching early antique dealers of whom John Boykett Jarman (d. 1864) was one. Does anyone have any family records with either a picture of this particular member of the Jarman family or any records which he may possibly have kept by any chance relating to his business? I would be most interested if so.
For the record, he was one of the leading dealers in decorative art and also in illuminated missals in the first half of the nineteenth century, initially with a shop in the Strand and also a shop in New Bond Street. He had some pretty exclusive customers and also quite a reputation for faking!
Many thanks.
