Painter-Stainer
= painter1 1 and 2.
The name by which the members of the City of London Livery Company of Painters (which included painters in senses 1 and 2), are designated in their charter, in which connexion it has continued in use to the present day. The restriction of meaning stated in quot. 1706, and repeated in later Dicts., does not seem to be in accordance with facts.
