BackgroundHe was the son of Richard Rundell and his wife Ann Ditcher, born into a large family, and baptised at Norton St Philip, near Bath, Somerset.[1] His siblings included Francis Rundell the actor-manager,[3] a sister who married a Mr Harpur and was the mother of Elizabeth Bannister the actress,[3] Thomas Rundell of Bath the surgeon who married Maria Ketelby the writer,[3][4] and Elizabeth who married the mercer Thomas Bigge (the elder, died 1791).[5] His great-nephew Joseph Neeld, who inherited more than half his fortune, was grandson of Susannah Rundell who married John Bond.[6] Business lifeRundell was apprenticed, and went into the London goldsmith's business Theed & Pickett. It became Pickett & Rundell in 1781. The firm had a major showroom at 32 Ludgate Hill, "at the sign of the Golden Salmon", in the period around 1768 to 1785. They retailed goods made by others such as John Emes.[7][8] They had manufacturing subsidiaries, one run by Benjamin Smith (and for some years Digby Scott) in Greenwich, and another by Paul Storr in Dean Street.[8][9] Retirement, death and legacyPhilip Rundell withdrew capital from the firm in 1823.[10] He died in 1827, leaving a fortune that went off the probate scale, which stopped at £1,000,000. The residual estate, after bequests to the sum of £500,000, went to Joseph Neeld, about £800,000.[11] Money left to the Bigge family was reported to have exceeded £100,000; according to James Losh, writing in his diary after news of the death, the bequests were some compensation for having had to put up with a "tyrannical miser".[12] The Gentleman's Magazine reported that Rundell, unmarried and without a home, liked to spend his time with his Brompton niece (i.e. Maria Bigge, who had married Thomas Bigge) or Elizabeth Bannister, another niece.[13] References1. ^1 {{cite ODNB|id=37923|title=Rundell, Philip|first=John|last=Culme}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/term_details.aspx?bioId=80011|title=Rundell, Bridge & Rundell (Biographical details)|website=The British Museum|accessdate=16 January 2017}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite ODNB|title=}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=The Annual Biography and Obituary for the Year 1827|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=A9sKAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA317|year=1828|publisher=Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown|pages=317–}} 5. ^{{cite book|author1=John Hodgson|author2=John Hodgson-Hinde|title=A history of Northumberland, in three parts|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AxYMAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA98|year=1832|publisher=Printed by E.
