Henry Hill worked as a cabinetmaker, decorator, auctioneer, furnisher, estate agent and representative of the Sun Insurance Company in Marlborough, Wiltshire, from the early 1740s until his death in 1778, when the business was taken over by his assistant Samuel Hilliker.  Despite his provincial origins, Hill worked for some of the most sophisticated patrons of his day.  A major London client was Sir John, later Lord, Deleval, whose commission is recorded in a number of letters between himself and Hilliker of Seaton Delaval (see L. Wood, 'Furniture for Lord Delaval,' Journal of the Furniture History Society, 1990, vol. XXVI, pp. 198-222).  Most of his known clients appear to have resided in his immediate area, and included the 9th Duke of Somerset at Maiden Bradley, whose purchases in 1770-1771 amounted to £227.  Other clients included Paul Methuen of Corsham Court, whose accounts show an expenditure of £1300 between 1760 and 1778, Arabella Calley of Burderop Park, near Swindon and Henry Hoare at Stourhead.  A commode attributed to Hill with parquetry and floral marquetry serpentine top, keeled front angles with French style gilt-metal chutes continuing to sabots, shaped apron, straight sides and ebonized borders was sold in these rooms, October 23, 1998, lot 345; another attributed to Hill, almost certainly supplied to Edward Seymour, 9th Duke of Somerset for Maiden Bradley, was sold, Christie's London, November 28, 2002, lot 120; see also Hotspur: Eighty Years of Antiques Dealing, London, 2004, p. 49 (detail), p. 53, fig. 2, p. 56; another brass-mounted mahogany and gonçalo alves commode attributed to Hill was sold, Sotheby's London, The Norman Adams Collection, April 21, 2009, lot 84; a very similar commode sold from the Collection of Niki and Joe Gregory, Sotheby's, New York, October 24, 2013, lot 95 ($42,500).
