A LARGE REGENCY GILTWOOD AND GESSO CONVEX WALL MIRRORCIRCA 181583cm diameter overall A closely related mirror sold from the Gyrn Castle Collection, Christies London, Lot 83, 17th June 2006, Lot 83, £9,000. Another similar was sold in these rooms, 30th May 2022, Lot 291 £5625 (including premium).Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions comensurate with age and use. Some old splits. Various old wear to the gilding. The mirror plate appears original and bears the expected depletion in the form of a grey 'fogging' to the plate. The plate does reflect a clear image beyond the light 'fogging' (Please see additional images for visual reference) Some slight movement of the ebonised moulding from its position against the inside edge of the frame. This should be straightforward for a restorer to remedy if required. The whole of the reverse of the frame is covered with paper (bearing tears and losses) so it is not presently possible to see if the rear panel is original. Some old worm damage is likely but not clearly visible past the paper covering the back. Very few holes are detectabel fromt he front of the mirror. Some nail/screw holes from previous methods of hanging the mirror. The flat outermost edge of the frame (nearest to the wall. Shows evidence of gilding but also but also has a 'brown' wash over it that is likely original. There is wear, chipping, fragmentary loss and some chips of loss there. Overall in good original condition for its age. This mirror is a relalively unusual large scale for its type. Please refer to the additional images for visual reference to condition.

A LARGE AND IMPRESSIVE GILT AND LACQUERED BRASS EIGHT BRANCH CHANDELIER AFTER A DESIGN BY CHARLES HEATHCOTE TATHAM, CIRCA 1825 AND LATER Central column with graduated tiers of lotus leaves and scrolled acanthus mounted with three figures of stylized eagles, supporting eight numbered scrolled and leaf scrolling arms now fitted with mock candles and with clear and frosted glass shades, electrified approximately 242cm high, 129cm diameterProvenance:An Important Collection from a Cadogan Square HouseViewing: Please note this lot is on view at our Hambridge Lane Premises - approximately 10 minute drive from Donnington Priory.Traditionally auctioneers and historians have always credited this distinctive and unusual form of tiered corona chandelier design to the London designer and retailer William Collins (fl. 1808-1852) and Johnston Brookes & Co. In 2002 Phillips New York offered 6 chandeliers as part of the John Hobbs auctions- each attributed to Collins. A footnote to one of the lots (lot 65, October 22, 2002) is perhaps a better starting point to help attribute this form of design more accurately."There are also related chandeliers with tiered lotus leaf stems, which might possibly be by Collins, at Castle Howard, Yorkshire."The chandeliers at Castle Howard were actually designed by the architect and designer Charles Heathcote Tatham. In his 1806 book "Designs For Ornamental Plate, Many Of Which Have Been Executed In Silver From Original Drawings" plate 7 illustrates "a chandelier executed in gold metal for the New Gallery finished at Castle Howard in 1802". In common with this lot its construction is formed around a single central pole with no hanging chains and stepped individual tiers of floral mounts- above the moulded light dish with arms and foliate wrapped terminal below. The maker of his chandeliers for Castle Howard is unknown but Tatham and his brother produced work in collaboration with and for Vulliamy. Vulliamy's use of an eagle decorative motif is well known and might indicate a design inspiration for this lot.Another maker, of a slightly later date, was the firm of Messrs. Hancock and Rixon, the court 'Lustre and Glass manufacturers. It may be that they drew on Tatham's designs for their own work- notably the dolphin detailed pair of chandeliers for Sutherland House (formerly York House), London commissioned by George Granville Leveson-Gower, 2nd Duke of Sutherland (d. 1861). Condition Report: Viewing: Please note this lot is on view at our Hambridge Lane Premises - approximately 10 minute drive from Donnington Priory.Updated condition report:The chandelier has been reassembled for photography only and is currently disassembled. The whole presents well- and fits together well but without the original central support stem/pole it is impossible to gauge the original height of the overall piece. It currently has late 20th century cylindrical steel column running through it. Some variance in colour and lacquering of the various elements suggestive of adaptions either during conversion process from colza to electrical or at a later date. This is most true of the scrolling section above the eagle section. One of the glass shades broken.Condition Report Disclaimer
