The nineteenth century English architect, designer and artist, Richard Hicks Bridgens (1785-1846) was known for his Elizabethan and Scottish Baronial style designs. Bridgens apprenticed in Liverpool under the renowned cabinet-maker George Bullock before moving to London. After Bullock's death, Bridgens set up his own business in Birmingham and executed some of his most well-known work for James Watt junior at Aston Hall primarily in Jacobean taste. He published his design book Furniture with Candelabra and Interior Decoration in 1838 which featured several designs with similarly intricate and carved strapwork.
