(57 x 54cm.), One of eight Slade-designed "Elizabeth" class ships, Defiance was ordered from John Randall & John Brent at Rotherhithe in 1780, she was launched on 10th December, 1783. Her crew mutinied three times, in 1795, 1797, and 1798. She fought at the Battle of Copenhagen on April 2, 1801, the Battle of Cape Finisterre on July 22, 1805, and the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805 where she captured the Spanish San Juan Nepomuceno and sustained casualties of 17 killed, 53 wounded. After refitting at Portsmouth she was recommissioned in March 1806 for Capt. Henry Hotham during which time she blockaded Rochefort and she assisted with the destruction of three French 40-gun frigates (La Cybele, Le Calypso and L`Italienn) at Sables d`Olonne on 24th February 1809. In December 1813 she was used as a temporary prison ship at Chatham, was laid up in ordinary between 1814-1815 and was broken up there in 1817. It is presumed that for an unknown reason it was necessary to fit her with an unnamed bell during her period as a prison ship, which remained aboard as she was not commissioned again.

A Regency Chinoiserie decorated black lacquer cabinet on stand, in 18th century style, second quarter 19th ceentury, decorated overall with Oriental figures, pagodas, exotic birds and foliage, the doors enclosing an arrangement of twelve long and short drawers around a central door with the motto `DEUM COLE REGEM SERVA` (Worship God, Protect the King) above a gryphen holding an arrow head, the stand fronted by cabriole legs and paw feet, 169cm high, 100cm wide, 63cm deep. Ex lot 567, Christie`s Gipson`s Grand Tour, 16th November 2006, South Kensington. The crest found on the internal cupboard door is that of Cole and the monogram beneath almost certainly refers to Henry Cole (1808-1882), a civil servant. The most eminent branch of the family is the Earls of Enniskillin, however, in their crest the sinister claw rests on an escutcheon. Through his membership of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce in 1845, Henry Cole became involved in the organisation of the Great Exhibition in 1851 acting as a promoter, publicist, and administrator. Cole went on to become the first director of the South Kensigton Museum (now the V&A) and has a wing named after him. He was created CB at the end of the Great Exhibition and was knighted in 1875 by Queen Victoria. Visit www.dnfa.com for condition reports
