JOYCE (JAMES)Ulysses, ninth printing, AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION COPY TO H.G. WELLS, INSCRIBED 'To H.G. Wells respectully James Joyce, 5 November 1928 Paris' on the front free endpaper, bound in full black goatskin BY SALLY LOU SMITH (gilt-stamped 'SLS' at rear and on spine of case), the covers and spine tooled in blind with black, brown, grey, ochre and yellow onlays to an abstract design of 'Dublin at night', inside covers tooled in gilt with abstract design, yellow and grey Japanese endpapers, g.e., preserved in felt-lined quarter black morocco solander box by Sally Lou Smith, 4to, Paris, Shakespeare and Company, 1927Footnotes:ULYSSES INSCRIBED BY JAMES JOYCE TO H.G. WELLS - IN A SALLY LOU SMITH DESIGNER BINDING.A fine association copy linking two of the great twentieth century writers. H.G. Wells was an important early advocate of Joyce, writing a highly favourable review of his first book A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and describing it as 'a book to buy and read and lock up, but it is not a book to miss. Its claim to be literature is as good as the claim of the last book of Gulliver's Travels... No single book has ever shown how different they [English and Irish sensibilities] are, as completely as this most memorable novel' (The New Republic, 10 March 1917). This copy was inscribed for Wells on 5 November 1928. Later that month, on 23 November, Wells wrote to Joyce that 'I have enormous respect for your genius dating from your earliest books and I feel now a great personal liking for you but you and I are set upon absolutely different courses... [but] You have turned your back on common men — on their elementary needs and their restricted time and intelligence, and you have elaborated. What is the result? Vast riddles. Your last two works have been more amusing and exciting to write than they will ever be to read... Who the hell is this Joyce who demands so many waking hours of the few thousand I have still to live', signing off with obvious warmth that 'I can't follow your banner any more than you can follow mine. But the world is wide and there is room for both of us to be wrong'. In 1928 sections of what was to become Finnegan's Wake were published under the title Work in Progress, and it has been assumed that Wells' letter to Joyce was written in response to a request for his public support of this work. The surfacing of the present inscribed copy suggests that Wells's comments were perhaps also incorporating his thoughts on Ulysses.The fine designer binding was made in 1981 by Sally Lou Smith (1925-2007), who, commenting on her inspiration for the design, stated that 'The idea gradually formed that my view of the book ['Ulysses'] was the city: Dublin: Dublin at night'.Provenance: H.G. Wells; purchased by the vendor at the auction of the remaining contents of North End House, Rottingdean, East Sussex. The Property of Lady Jones C.B.E.

An ebonised breakfront credenza of large proportions; amboyna-banded, marquetry and gilt-metal-mounted, the moulded top above a scrolling marquetry frieze with husks and a central amboyna-banded and boxwood-strung blind door with further similar marquetry enclosing shelves and flanking two further glazed doors with similar shelves and gilt-metal mounts, raised on shaped plinth base chamfered at the top and headed with amboyna (183cm wide x 39cm deepest x 111cm high)

A late 18th century mahogany chest-on-chest; the dentil cornice above two half-width and three graduated full-width oak lined drawers retaining original cast gilt metal Rococo handles (gilt worn) and flanked by canted corners with blind fret carving, the lower section with a brushing slide over three full-width graduated drawers, raised on high bracket feet (109cm wide x 57cm deep x 191cm high)It is noted that the wood is fairly dark, there are several pieces of replaced veneer along the carcass around the drawers.  Some of the cockbeading has gone as well on a few of the drawers and there is some replaced cockbeading.  The right hand blind fret canted corner has split in the middle approx. 7cm prevalent mostly around the lower drawer area of the top section.  The dentil cornice appears OK.  The wood starts to get a bit lighter on the base section and there are scuffs, scratches and general old repairs etc., commensurate with age.  Quite a lot of new wood above the escutcheons on the carcass.  The left hand blind fret canting looks in good order.  The drawers are oak lined with solid mahogany fronts and the handles appear original.  Possible historic re-polishing at some stage and although some of the handles show original gilding most of them are dark through oxidisation again commensurate with age.  So the chest is not without faults and in the Auctioneer’s opinion could be restored to a fairly high standard if desired.

A George III carved mahogany and ormolu mounted bureau cabinet attributed to Gillowsthe carving probably by James TownsonCirca 1760, the dentil moulded cornice above a blind fretwork frieze, over a pair of shaped and scrolled panelled doors each with cartouche-embedded acanthus spray angles, enclosing six short adjustable shelves, two short fixed shelves, ten pigeon holes and five short drawers, flanked by two stop-fluted Corinthian pilasters, with a blind fretwork waist below, the hinged fall above three frieze drawers, the two shorter end drawers each with a sliding lid, over three long graduated drawers, flanked by fluted Corinthian columns, on shaped ogee bracket feet, 123cm wide x 64cm deep x 234cm high, (48in wide x 25in deep x 92in high)Footnotes:A detailed painting by Shirley Slocombe, dating to 1906, of a virtually identical model of - possibly even the same - bureau cabinet as the present lot appears in both P. Macquoid, A History of English Furniture, 1989, London, Pl. XXXVII and S.E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol. II, 2008, Woodbridge, pl. 605, p. 59. Stuart describes this painting as showing an: 'unrecognised superb Gillow bureau clothes press or bookcase' so it is exciting to consider that the offered cabinet is, even if not the direct subject of Slocombe's illustration, at the very least a supreme showcase piece made by the Gillows workshop in circa 1760.The distinctive carving of the Corinthian capitals on the stop-fluted pilasters flanking the doors of a Gillow clothes press supplied to Ralph Bell of Thirsk Hall, Yorkshire, in 1761, is very similar to the Corinthian ones on the present example. We know that the carving on the Thirsk Hall press was executed by James Townson, who was employed by the Gillows firm at that time, so it seems logical to presume that Townson also completed the carved details on the above as well. The Thirsk Hall press features in S.E. Stuart, Idem, pl.'s 595 & 596, pp.'s 52-54. The shaped cartouches with foliate spray angles on the doors of the offered lot correspond to the panelling on the upper section of a secretaire clothes press and two wardrobes produced by Gillows in 1766 and 1772 respectively, Ibid, pl.'s 598, 606 & 607, pp.'s 54-61. It is also interesting to note that the secretaire press, which was supplied to John France in 1766, has a conforming pattern of blind fretwork frieze to that appearing on the bureau cabinet in the Slocombe painting. A related bureau cabinet, likewise attributed to Gillows and dated circa 1760, which was also possibly carved by James Townson sold Christie's, New York, 14 October 2016, Living with Art, lot 230. The stop-fluted Corinthian pilasters flanking the doors of this comparable appear essentially identical to the ones carved on the offered example. And in turn both of these pairs of pilasters conform to those known to have been executed by James Townson on a Gillows clothes press supplied to Ralph Bell of Thirsk Hall, Yorkshire in 1761, S.E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol II, 2008, Woodbridge, pp.'s 52-53, pl.'s 595 & 596.LiteratureP. Macquoid, A History of English Furniture, 1989, London.S.E.

A very rare early 18th century pewter and brass-inlaid Italian table clock with six-hour dialFrancesco Papillion, FirenzeThe break-fronted case surmounted by an elaborate cast handle over a stepped caddy top with moulded edges over the architrave with an inset silk-backed blind sound fret, the sides with long glazed panels, on a moulded base and bun feet, the 5 inch silvered dial marked I to VI framed by a minute ring marked in tens for each hour, with single blued steel hand, mounted on an engraved gilt brass dial plate signed in an engraved cartouche within a pattern of strapwork, scrolls and flowers on a matted ground, the small rectangular movement plates united by four baluster pillars pinned through the backplate, with single 'tandem barrel' driving both wheel trains, the going train with verge escapement (the 'scape wheel mounted at an angle) to a short verge bob pendulum mounted on silk within cycloidal cheeks, the strike train sounding on a vertical bell. Ticking and striking, together with a winding key. 49cms (1ft 7ins) high.Footnotes:There is little information about Francesco Papillion. There are only a few signed clocks by him which include a night clock in the Getty Museum and an alarm watch in the British Museum. Archival records in Florence show that Papillion entered the clockmaker's guild in 1705.The six hour clock was used in Italy, especially in the Papal States, until the end of the 18th century, when Napoleon replaced it with the 12 hour system. The six hour, or 'Roman time' started just after sunset with the evening prayers, and worked around the Canonical hours.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
