In 1980 EC­M died unexpectedly at the age of 73 travelling on the tube between Kew Gardens and Gunnersbury stations. He was on his way to an Appointments Board meeting at his beloved British Museum. He left unfinished on his desk a detailed catalogue of the musical instruments owned by the National Trust and a major study of the music of London’s Pleasure Gardens. Until 2005 his second wife and widow Jill Croft­Murray (Née Whitford – Hawkey) carried on living at No. 4 Maids of Honour Row. Even after she moved to West Wales to be nearer to her daughter, she surrounded herself with her husband’s wonderful collections. Much of the furniture that features in this sale EC­M inherited from the uncle that first inspired ‘Teddy’ to start digging as a young boy.

He was an ancestor of Edward Croft­Murray's mother, Amy (née James). From the collection of Edward Croft­Murray CBE (1907­1980). Catalogue Note William Beckett was a cabinet maker and joiner, son of James Beckett of Wray, near Lancaster. He was apprenticed to William Blackburn in 1771 and admitted freeman c.1779­80. He is named in the Gillows archives between 1786­1800 for 'moulding claws' and signed the Gillows' journeymen's price agreement in 1785. Lindsay Boynton states that he was involved in 'designing' furniture for the Lancaster branch. The Dictionary of English Furniture also states that he was 'Possibly the maker of the large chest of drawers, mahogany veneer, oak carcase, bowfronted, belonging to the late Edward Croft­Murray and traced to William Rawlinson of Ancoats Hall, which he rented from the Mosley’s in the later 18th century. Inscriptions in black lead on underside of the bottom of third drawer and on outside of back of third drawer: 'William Becket Maker 1789''. We believe the current lot is the said chest, although it is serpentine rather than bowfronted. It is in fact signed on every drawer, the back edge and underside. William Rawlinson is recorded in the Gillow’s Estimate Sketch Book having ordered ‘two cases’ in 1786 (93/380) and a dining table in 1795 (97/1204).
