Anthony, George (1858-1895)

Anthony, George

Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, Wales; cabinet maker (fl. 1858-95)

Recorded in Slater’s Directory of 1858/9 and Kelly’s of 1884 and 1895. Two dog-kennel dressers by this maker are known, one bearing Anthony’s paper label, the other bearing the name of its owner, Owen Price of Abercanfydd, Breconshire. A later dresser of c.1935 also bears George Anthony’s label (perhaps George Anthony junior?) and was made by one of his workmen, Evan Gwyn Davies (illus. Bebb (2007), II, fig. 1270).
