Context
Five members of the Crace family practised as interior decorators from ca. 1750 to 1899. Edward
Crace (1725 - 1799) founded a decorating firm in London ca. 1768. This business continued in
unbroken succession as a partnership until 1899, headed by four of his direct descendants. Edward
Crace was also appointed the Curator of the Royal Pictures from the mid-1770s until his death in
1799. John Crace (1754 - 1819), his son, went into the business in 1780 and was employed by
Henry Holland and other leading architects of the day. Frederick Crace (1779 - 1859), the
grandson of Edward Crace, worked almost exclusively for the royal family and was responsible
for the decoration of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton from 1815 to 1822. John Gregory Crace
(1809 - 1889), the great grandson of Edward Crace, was associated with A.W.N. Pugin from
1843. He designed furniture and stained glass as well as decorative schemes for the Manchester
Art Treasures exhibition, 1857 and the London International Exhibition, 1862. John Dibblee
Crace (1838 - 1919), the great great grandson of Edward Crace, worked on schemes in several
styles but his work was predominantly influenced by his studies of Italian Renaissance art. The
Crace firm closed in 1899 when John Dibblee Crace decided he could not continue to run the
partnership single-handedly.

Provenance
AAD/1992/3: Gift of Eileen Crace to the Victoria and Albert Museum, Furniture and Woodwork
Department, 1979. Transferred to the National Art Library, Archive of Art and Design, 1992.
AAD/2000/15: Purchased from Phillips, 2000.

Access
This archive is available for consultation in the V&A Archive and Library Study Room, which is
located at Blythe House, 23 Blythe Road, Olympia, London, W14 0QX. The Study Room is open
Tuesday to Friday between 10.00 am and 4.30 pm, by appointment only. To request an
appointment please email archive@vam.ac.uk or telephone 020 7603 7493. Access to some files
may be restricted; these are identified individually with the catalogue.
Arrangement
The Crace family papers were obtained in three separate acquisitions between 1992 and 2001, and
from different sources. As such the original order and sequence of the papers is not retained. The
three series have therefore been arranged according to the related name or creator, and numbered
according to the respective acquisition dates.
The 1992 acquisition had been organized into series relating to individual Crace family members
prior to its arrival with the Archive of Art and Design. This order is still largely reflected in the item
list.
Related Material
Designs by various members of the Crace family can be found in the V&A Paintings, Designs,
Photographs and Prints department and accessed via the Prints and Drawings study room at South
Kensington.
