In 1779 John Gee entered into partnership with Benjamin Crompton, “Turner in Ordinary to George III”, and in 1787 was himself sworn in as a turner “jointly with Thos Aycliffe his partner” who came from a long dynasty of Royal turners. From 1799, John Gee is featured in directories as a chair maker at 49 Wardour Street, Soho. He is frequently described as “Chairmaker Turner to His Majestry”. In 1804 his son Thomas Aycliffe (christened after his illustrious partner) was awarded a Royal Warrant jointly with his father, thereafter the firm is occasionally referred to as “Gee Sons”. The father retired in 1823, the business being taken over the following year by Charles Bridges, who also received a Royal appointment, Few payments to the firm have come to light, but in 1790 Aycliffe and Gee received L49 8s from lord Wilton for the chairs for the Music Room at Heaton Hall. However, Gee often stamped his seat furniture, and a large number of fashionable cane-seated beech chairs with ebonized or grained finishes have been recorded, several embellished with brass inlay.
