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.

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 [email protected] or telephone 020 7603 7493. Access to some files

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
