Footnote:
John McLean (born 1770; died 1825) was an English furniture and cabinet maker and designer. He is mentioned in Thomas Sheraton’s 1803 ‘Cabinet Dictionary’ and worked extensively for the 5th Earl of Jersey at Middleton Park, Oxfordshire, and his London mansion in Berkeley Square.
Examples of his furniture can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum, The California Palace of the Legion of Honor and the Library at Saltram House, Devon.
