Lot 155
A George III mahogany serpentine serving table, circa 1760, attributed to William Vile, the figured top with triple slender banding border by broader crossbanding, the frieze with beaded borders and above a carved 'pagoda' edge, each tapering cabriole leg surmounted by a naturalistically carved palmette leaf also issuing trailing bellflowers, on scroll and acanthus leaf carved feet, 85cm high, 150cm wide, 72cm deepWilliam Vile (1700-1767) was one of the foremost English cabinet makers of the mid Georgian period. From 1761 to 1764 in partnership with fellow cabinet maker John Cobb they became Cabinet-makers and Upholsterers to His Majesty, George III. Their standard of craftmanship was rivalled only by that of Thomas Chippendale. Many parallels between known works by Vile and this table can be drawn. The gadrooned apron features to a less accentuated extent on an Work table of related form in the Royal Collection (RCIN 11109), currently in The King's Bedroom at Windsor Castle. A Jewel Cabinet with closely related legs incorporating scroll, channel and bellflower carving is also held in the royal collection (RCIN 35487). Two bills exists from Vile to Queen Charlotte for these items (form 1761 and 1763 respectively). A cabinet attributed to William Vile incorporating closely related gadrooning and bead moulding is currently in the stock of Ronald Phillips, London, and features on their website. Furthermore, the use of well figured Cuban mahogany is consistent with Vile's use of materials (see Library table, Metropolitain Museum of Art, 24.103.3). Overall the quality of carving and elegance of from show this table to be the work of a craftsman of exceptional prominence. The dating and stylistic qualities strongly suggest this to be William Vile. Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips and splits. Some fading overall. Of polished appearance. Very slight warp to top. Some small amounts of filler used in places. Some minor evidence of old worm to interior of carcass and back panel. The edge of the top with some small sections of replacement veneer and some sections re-stuck. Later block applied to centre of the back panel for a candle arm to be fixed. The blocking throughout the edges of the underside of the top possibly suggest that it experienced some movement causing a minimal raise to the centre and was removed and re-secured. The blocks are likely there to prevent further movement. To the outer corners of the rear edge of the top small brass fixtures with a central aperture have been secured.Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition.

Lot 161
A George III padouk Pembroke table, attributed to Thomas Chippendale, circa 1760, referred to also as a 'Breakfaste' or Supper table, the twin hinged rectangular top with moulded edge, above a frieze drawer mounted with 'axe head' handles, the recessed gilt wire-work panel inset compartment beneath, fronted by a hinged and folding door, on square section legs, terminating in casters, 71cm high, 106cm wide (when open), 61cm deep Provenance: Earl of Perth, Stobhall Castle. Supplied to him by Ronald A. Lee (Works of Art, TheManor House, Byfleet, Surrey) 29th June 1965 (£450). Ronald A. Lee sold an astonishingly wide range of objects, to important collectors and museums all over the world. A key driver for him appears to have been the historical significance and beauty of objects.This table relates directly to a design for a 'Breakfaste Table' in Thomas Chippendales 1st Edition of the Gentleman and Cabinet Makers Director, (1754), plate XXXIII, and included again in the 3rd Edition of 1762 (Plate LIII). A comparable table was supplied to William, 5th Earl of Dumfries for Dumfries House, Ayrshire, Scotland. (See C. Gilbert, The Life & Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol.I, p.131, vol. II, fig. 401). The distinctive 'axe- head' handles of the current table are characteristic of Chippendale's output during the 1750's and 60's and feature on both a shaving table the comparable 'Breakfaste' or supper table at Dumfries House. For closely related examples see Christie's, London, 'Living with Art, a Private Collection' 10th Feb 2012, Lot 757 (£46,850) and Christie's London, The Mermaid House Collection, Important English Furniture 12th November 1998, Lot 20 (£44,400).
