Wilton, J.

London; picture frame maker (fl.1774).

Two payments are recorded in the Burton Constable accounts to this maker in August 1774. The first dated 6 August was for £7 7s and the second dated 13 August was for £3 13s 8d. [Humberside RO, Burton Constable vouchers]. This is perhaps the same man as the Joseph Wilton who made a table with a lapis lazuli top for the Earl of Charlemont at The Casino at Marino, Ireland, in 1773.
