  Thomas Hope - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
He was also, as his father had been - the elder Hope's country house near Haarlem was crowded with fine pictures - a munificent patron of the highest forms of art, and both at his London house and his country seat at Deepdene near Dorking he formed large collections of paintings, sculpture and antiques.
Deepdene in his day became a famous resort of men of letters as well as of people of fashion, and among the luxuries suggested by his fine taste was a miniature library in several languages in each bedroom.
He was the author of two works published posthumously - the Origin and Prospects of Man (1831), in which his speculations diverged widely from the usual orthodox opinions, and an Historical Essay on Architecture (1835), an elaborate description of the architecture of the middle ages, illustrated by drawings made by himself in Italy and Germany.

 Thomas Hope Furniture & Biography
Thomas Hope, a "gentleman of sofas", as Byron called him, had an enormous impact on the course of English furniture history, mainly in the time of Regency furniture, moving into a decidedly antique direction, focusing it onto a cold, precise, archaeological interpretation of furniture design.
Never one to stay put long Hope was soon travelling again, in 1799 he revisits old haunts in Athens, and in 1802 he is seen in Naples and Rome, all the while collecting antique specimens of art which he later decides to house permanently in England.
From such endeavour Hope was later to furnish whole rooms in the Egyptian style, replete with antique chairs, couches, and beds, and as a consequence of this the Egyptian revival movement was born and achieved some considerable popularity.

 Sir Thomas Hope
Henry Hope, a younger brother of the subject of this memoir, following the profession of his father, was the progenitor of the great and opulent branch of the Hopes of Amsterdam; a house, for extent of commerce and solidity of credit, long considered superior, without exception, to any private mercantile company in the world.

The ministers, thus abandoned, applied to Mr Hope, who, pitying their case, with the greatest cheerfulness and resolution undertook their defence; and, notwithstanding the reiterated endeavours of the court to perplex and browbeat him, contradicted it in so skilful and masterly a manner, that he made a deep impression on the jury.
