A George II mahogany hall bench, c.1730, the design attributed to William Kent, with a double-panelled back, a scrolled top and arm terminals above a double arched acanthus leaf carved apron, foliate carved legs and scrolled feet, 140cm wide 60cm deep 101cm high Provenance: Purchased from Christopher Gibbs in the late 1970s. Benches of this type, conceived in an architectural manner and intended to stand in formal entrance halls, are associated with the English Palladian Revival of the late 1720s and 1730s, and in particular with houses where the architect/designer William Kent worked. Some are of painted deal or oak, but most surviving examples are mahogany. Mahogany benches have been recorded at Houghton Hall, Boughton House, Badminton House, Devonshire House, Raynham Hall, Wentworth Woodhouse and Sherborne House (Glos.), although some are no longer in situ. While all are of a broadly similar form, the benches differ in style and detail, and probably emanated from more than one workshop. Those made for Sherborne House are attributed to James Moore Jnr., who supplied in 1731 '… 2 Mahogany Settees for ye Dining Room at ye Lodge Carved…' at a cost of £30. Their design is attributed to William Kent, who provided plans for Sherborne Lodge and House in 1728; it was later published in a slightly modified version by John Vardy in 'Some Designs of Mr Inigo Jones and Mr William Kent'. Almost identical benches were once at Devonshire House and a similar set of four benches were made for the Duke of Montagu's house in Whitehall and are now at Boughton House, Northamptonshire. They are closely similar to the Sherborne benches but are attributed, not to Moore, but to his contemporary James Nix. A similar, single bench is on the Great Stairs at Houghton Hall. The present bench has some similarities with the Sherborne and Montagu House examples, specifically in the design of the front legs, but its back and arms relate much more closely to the set of six benches at Houghton Hall, Norfolk, whose design is attributed to William Kent. Indeed, this is the only known example which shares the distinctive scrolled-over back of the Houghton benches. It also has a similar arched, leaf-carved apron below the seat. The apron is carried to the floor at each end, forming scrolled trusses at right angles to the front legs. The result is highly decorative, but also, from a structural point of view, immensely strong. The seat construction, with its single board resting on a coved frame, is identical, as is the design of the scrolled arm terminals. The principal differences are in decorative treatment; the present bench has a highly enriched apron but plain mouldings beneath the seat and around the back and side panels. The similarities are sufficiently compelling as to suggest a common source. No bills survive to reveal the maker of the Houghton benches, but they might have come from the workshop of James Richards, to whom is attributed much of the carved work at Houghton. Richards was appointed in 1721 'Master Sculptor and Carver in Wood' to George I, and he is known to have worked closely with Kent on several commissions. We would like to thank Dr. Adam Bowett for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
