Benjamin Goodison
Benjamin Goodison (c. 1700 – 1767), of London, was a royal cabinetmaker to George II of Great Britain, supplying furnishings to the royal palaces from 1727 to the time of his death. He served his apprenticeship with James Moore, who died accidentally in October 1726;〔Geoffrey Beard, "Three eighteenth-century cabinet-makers: Moore, Goodison and Vile", ''The Burlington Magazine'', 119 No. 892 (July 1977:479-486) quotes (p. 480) the receipt from Lord Burlington of 1720, signed "for the use of my master Mr James Moore by me Benjamin Goodison"〕 Moore was the pre-eminent London cabinetmaker during the reign of George I.〔Tessa Murdoch, "The King's cabinet-maker: The giltwood furniture of James Moore the Elder" ''The Burlington Magazine'', 2003.〕 Goodison's classicizing case furniture owes much of its inspiration to the neo-Palladian designs of William Kent;〔Geoffrey Beard, "William Kent and the cabinet-makers," ''The Burlington Magazine'' (December 1975) pp 367-71.〕 outstanding documented examples are the pair of part-gilded mahogany commodes and library writing-tables Goodison made for Sir Thomas Robinson of Rokeby Hall, Yorkshire, now in the Royal Collection; they have boldly-scaled Greek key fret in their friezes and lion masks gripping brass rings heading scrolling consoles at their corners.〔Illustrated in Beard 1977, figures 14 and 15 (detail); numerous chests of drawers and library tables in this idiom were made by other London cabinet-makers, including the succeeding royal cabinetmaker, William Vile.〕
Goodison's shop was established at the "Golden Spread Eagle" in Long Acre as early as 1727.〔An advertisement in ''The Daily Courant'', August 1727, asking after a stolen " large old fashioned Glass Sconce, in a Glass Frame, with Gold Flowers painted on the Glass Frame, and a Green Ground" (quoted in Beard 1977, p. 483).〕 Long Acre, in the parish of St Martin-in-the-Fields, was positioned for easy access from Westminster and the fashionable West End of London.

For the furnishing of new apartments at Hampton Court Palace, Goodison supplied for the Queen's Staircase, the octagonal brass lantern surmounted by a royal crown; it cost £138 in 1729.〔Public Record office LC9/26, noted by Beard 1977, p. 483 note 23.〕 In 1732-33 Goodison was furnishing new apartments fitted out for Frederick, Prince of Wales both at St James's Palace and at Hampton Court;〔Kimerly Rorschach, "Frederick, Prince of Wales (1707-51) as collector and patron", ''Walpole Society'' 55, 1993.〕 among surviving furnishings for Hampton Court are a small pair of gilded mirrors carved with the Prince's plume of feathers and candle branches still hang in the Prince's Drawing Room〔Noted by〕 and four gilded stands, "carved & Gilt Term fashion", on which female heads support Ionic capitals. At St James's there was "A large pier glass, in a tabernacle frame, gilt— £50"; the frame was of the familiar neo-Palladian architectural type. In the Prince's Dining Room at St James's stood Goodison's "mahogany commode〔"Commode" signified with a serpentine front.〕 chest of drawers, ornamented with carving and wrought brass handles to do, and lifting handles".〔Edwards and Jourdain 1955, p. 46.〕 When the Prince and Princess of Wales took up residence at Leicester House in the winter of 1742-43, Goodison was employed to make the initial inventory and survey〔('Leicester Square, North Side, and Lisle Street Area: Leicester Estate: Leicester House and Leicester Square North Side (Nos 1-16)', ''Survey of London'' ): volumes 33 and 34: St Anne Soho (1966), pp. 441-472, accessed: 30 March 2009.〕 An organ case probably delivered by Benjamoin Goodison for the Prince of Wales, ca 1745, was altered by William Vile, ca 1763 for the Prince's son, George III: it remains in the Royal Collection.〔(Collection: Benjamin Goodison )〕
In his will, dated 29 May 1765, Goodison noted that the late Prince remained "indebted unto me in a considerable sum of money". For the Prince's funeral Goodison had hung the public mourning chambers in black and had supplied the Prince's coffin.
