WilliamChambers was born in Stockholm, where his father worked, in 1726.
Chamber's first work of importance was a villa for Lord Bessborough at Roehampton in Surrey, the portico of which was particularly admired.
But though Chambers was undoubtedly fascinated by the Chinese style, he nevertheless gained a place among those masters who perpetuated the classical traditions, in the form of the neoclassical style of the late Georgian era.
Sir WilliamChambers (1723-1796) was a Scottish architect, (though born in Stockholm where his father was a merchant).
Chambers was more international in outlook (his knighthood being originally a Swedish honor) and was influenced by continental neoclassicism (which he in turn influenced) when designing for English clients.
WilliamChambers (April 16, 1800 - May 20, 1883) was a Scottish publisher, the brother of Robert Chambers.
