A George III mahogany style sofa, with rollover arms, squab cushion and raised on blind fret carved front legs. Width 196 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: This is not a period sofa. The description is incorrect it is a settee in the George III style. It is probably only 20 or 30 years old. The piece is structurally very sound and not loose at the joints. The only small area of damage to the mahogany that we can see is a small loss to the front right hand facing foot which should be visible on our image. The upholstery is in generally reasonable order however there is some staining and discolouration to the tops of both arms but more so the right hand facing arm. There is also discolouration to the front left hand bottom corner. It may be possible to have this cleaned as other than the dirt and discolouration the fabric is in good condition generally.
An Edwardian mahogany Chippendale style desk, with metal gallery to the rectangular top and fitted with a series or blind fretwork carved drawers and raised on cabriole legs terminating in lions paw feet. Width 123 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The three quarter brass gallery is present and appears in good order but with rubbed gilding. The top writing surface is in very poor condition with about 40% missing. The mahogany surround is in generally good order and the desk is structurally strong. The back and sides are not cracked. The legs are solid and original with no repairs or breaks. The right hand three drawers are in generally good order with only very minor losses to the fretwork. The left hand three drawers are in similarly good condition however the bottom left hand drawer has a more substantial fretwork loss in the bottom left hand corner. The centre drawer has losses to the applied moulding on the rectangular panel however the fretwork to left and right is in reasonable order. There are minor losses to the carved kneehole mouldings. There is no substantial work required to the desk most of the problems being of a cosmetic nature.

Her watercolours were notably engraved for 'A Selection of Hexandrian Plants', one of the finest botanical colour-plate publications of its period. Born as Priscilla Susan Falkner to a wealthy Liverpool merchant, she lived at her family estate in Fairfield, two miles east of Liverpool, until her marriage to Edward Bury (1794-1858), a railway engineer, in 1830. She was enchanted by the exotic and rare plants cultivated in the greenhouses of her family home and thus developed a great passion for botany at an early age. She took up drawing and painting flowers at Fairfield and by 1829 amassed a great collection of botanical studies, mostly bearing her maiden name. Upon the suggestion of the amateur botanist William Roscoe (1753-1831) and the zoologist William J. Swainson (1789-1855), fifty-one of Bury's watercolours were published as 'A Selection of Hexandrian Plants' between 1831-1834. The studies were engraved and printed in aquatint by Robert Havell Jr. (1793-1878), rivalling the greatest botanical illustrations of the time. The publication had seventy-nine subscribers, among whom were many prominent Liverpool residents as well as the American naturalist, John James Audubon (1785-1851). Some of the original watercolours are preserved at Dumbarton Oaks, Washington, and at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Amaryllis - unframed - some discolouration to the paper, some staining around the stem and leaf, two vertical folds along the side edges. Lilium - unframed - some foxing, mostly limited to the reverse, slightly trimmed on the left side
