BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

 

John Doggett was a cabinetmaker, carver, and gilder in Roxbury and Boston, Massachusetts.  Born in Dedham, Mass., in 1780, Doggett moved to Roxbury to become the town's first gilder.  He had a shop on Eustis Street on Meeting House Row.  He was married in March of 1804.  He and his wife had at least one son, John, Jr., who became an active member of his father's firm, John Doggett & Co.  John, Jr. died in 1852.  Doggett also had a brother, Samuel, who served as his apprentice and later business partner.  Doggett had several other apprentices working under him in the Roxbury-Boston area.  As early as 1803, Samuel Curtis and Stillman Lothrop were painting and gilding for him.  By 1820, business had expanded so that Doggett set up a new shop at 28 Market St. in Boston.  By 1822, he had begun buying and selling frames for looking glasses, prints, and portraits at 16 Market St., Boston.  In 1822, he opened an exhibition gallery, called Doggetts Repository of Arts, where he exhibited paintings by Gilbert Stuart and others.  Eventually, his business concentrated more heavily on importing and manufacturing carpeting.  He opened a branch in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under the name of Doggett, Farnsworth & Co. and another in New York with John, Jr.  Doggett retired sometime between 1845 and 1850, leaving business affairs in the hands of his brother Samuel and Samuel S. Williams.  When Samuel Doggett retired in 1854, the firm was reorganized under the title of Williams & Everett.

 

 

SCOPE AND CONTENT

 

Consists of a daybook kept from 1802 to 1809; a letterbook used from 1825 to 1829; bills, primarily on printed billheads; and an auction catalog (photocopy only).  Three of the bills are photocopies of originals. The daybook documents the daily activities and business associates of John Doggett.  Such objects as picture frames and glazes, chairs, composition board, embroidery frames, glass frames with gilt, woodwork and carving for clock cases, and gilded cases were made and sold by Doggett and his associates.  They also gilded and painted looking glass and picture frames, cabinet doors, pedestals for clocks, bedsteads, and other items made by cabinetmakers in other shops.   In exchange, Doggett received such items as wood screws, sand paper, nails, gold-leaf sheets, whiting and dry-goods.  The interrelationships between Roxbury area craftsmen are also recorded in the volume.  For example, John Evans made wooden balls and other clock ornaments for Doggett.  In turn, Doggett made gilded clock cases for Simon and Aaron Willard.           

 

The letterbook documents Doggett's import business.  Most of the letters, entered in several different hands, pertain to shipments, orders, and accounts current.  A few contain complaints about the quality of merchandise or notes about what was selling well.  Carpets, rugs, plate glass, and silvered looking glass are among the items bought.  The bills in the collection relate to the sale of looking glasses, frames, molding, carpeting, and painted floor cloths.  In addition, the collection includes a photocopy of a catalog of John Doggett, Jr.’s books, autographs, and paintings which were auctioned in 1852.
