Bolar (or Boler), Samuel (1724-37)

Bolar (or Boler), Samuel, London, cm (1724–37). Much employed by Lady Fitzwalter before and after her marriage to Fitzwalter, supplying items for Moulsham Hall or Schomberg House, Pall Mall, London. Between 1724–37 he was paid a total of £934 15s, 15% of all payments on furniture and fittings during these years. No details of his commissions survive, but his patronage bears witness to his quality, despite the fact he was relatively inexpensive. [Essex RO, Moulsham House archives; A. C.
