Reeves, —, Long Lane, London, u (1668–87). The entry in Samuel Pepys's Diary, [1976 edition] 15 October 1668 reads: ‘After dinner my wife & I & Deb. out by coach to the Upholster's in Long Lane, Alderman Reeves and then to Alderman Crow's, to see variety of Hangings; and were mightily pleased therewith and spent the whole afternoon thereupon; and at last I think we shall pitch upon the best suit of Apostles, where three pieces for my room which come to almost 80£.’. On 16 October Pepys bought ‘his second suit of Apostles, the whole suit, which comes to 83£.’ These hangings may have been either second hand or imitation tapestries made of painted or stained cloth. The ‘Acts of the Apostles’ was a favourite design based on cartoons by Raphael and manufactured at Mortlake. A MS survey of London dated 14 March 1686–87 made by Oliver Mills, twenty years after the Great Fire reads ‘I sett out a foundation for Mr. Reeves in Long Lane as described below.’ [Heal]
