Sotheby's, London The Best of British - Design from the 19th and 20th Centuries - Paul Reeves: The Auction, 20th March 2008, lot 81 for a related large cabinet, also potentially from the Harrison commission (£12,000). Coleman B. The Best of British Arts & Crafts, Atglen, PA, 2004, p.69Note: Along with Bruce Talbert, who exhibited a handful of 'medieval' or 'old English' pieces (including the Pericles cabinet now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York) on the Holland & Son stand at the 1867 Paris Exhibition, it is widely accepted that Charles Bevan's 1865 designs for Titus Salt Jr marked a turning point in British taste. This cabinet was one of a pair, which were split up between two friends shopping in London at Harris Lindsay circa 2000. The other cabinet was purchased by the academic collector Peter Rose (recently sold at Christie's London, 30th September 2021, Lot 110, as part of The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection (£12,000). Stamped 'GILLOW & CO' '2324' the Christie's example has a note in the provenance mentioning Samlesbury Hall in Lancashire. Although originally built in the 14th century, Samlesbury Hall was acquired by the industrialist Joseph Harrison (1805-1880) in 1862 and given to his son William Harrison (18** -1879). William Harrison spent a vast sum of money refurbishing the interiors and furnishing the hall. The Gillow estimate sketch books, held at the Westminster City archives, have records of him ordering numerous pieces of reformed gothic furniture in 1866. The commission includes pieces in Bevan's distinctive style but also in Pugin's.

Furniture at Temple Newsam House and Lotherton Hall, Volume II, 1978. Boynton L.O.J. High Victorian Furniture: The Example of Marsh and Jones of Leeds Furniture History Society, Journal III, 1967 where a transcribed copy of the Titus Salt order dated 8th August 1866 is seen in Appendix II (the rooms described are those at Baildon Lodge and not Milner Field.)Note: Titus Salt Jr, the youngest son of Sir Titus Salt, married Catherine Crossley in 1866 and immediately moved into the newly vacant Baildon Lodge just outside Bradford, Leeds. While living at Baildon Lodge, the newlywed homemakers commissioned the local firm Marsh & Jones to supply a large number of furnishings from a grand piano to basic toilet wares between 1865-67. Marsh & Jones employed the designer Charles Bevan to provide the Salts with the most modern designs in the reformed gothic style. Along with Bruce Talbert exhibiting a handful of 'medieval' or 'old English' pieces (including the Pericles cabinet) on the Holland & Son stand at the 1867 Paris Exhibition, it is widely accepted Bevan's designs for the Salts marked a turning point in British taste. Between 1871 and 1873 the Salts moved to their partially built country house, Milner Field, with building work continuing around them they took the contents of Baildon Lodge with them. The architect used was Thomas Harris (c.1930-1900), a little-known architect from London. The house too was built in the reformed gothic style with ornamental metalwork by Messrs Richardson, Slade & Co., furniture and panelling by Messrs Marsh & Jones, Stained glass by Messrs Saunders & Co. and cartoons and frescos painted by Frederick Weekes. The final two artists are best known for their collaborations with William Burges. Catherine Salt was an avid musician and gifted singer and regularly sang at the many soirees the couple hosted. The music room suite that included these chairs would have been of great importance to her and so would no doubt have followed her when she left Milner Fields in 1903. Illustrations of the grand piano, duet stool and music cabinet from this commission were published in The Building News of 1st March 1867. Both the piano and the duet stool are in the collection of Lotherton Hall, Leeds. Our chairs feature a distinctive A-frame to their backs which can be seen on the en-suite music cabinet and the sheet music stand on the piano. The duet stool (at Lotherton Hall) retains its original paper label from the makers, this label is hand inscribed with job number 99127. By studying the pieces with direct Salt provenance in the Lotherton Hall collection, we can see the range of job numbers the commission took up. ranging from 99092 (a chamber pot of pedestal form) to 99152 (a reclining chair).

Richard Norman Shaw famously commissioned a cabinet that now resides in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum straight after he left the employ of George Edmund Street, and of course, the architect William Burges furnished his entire office and house with such cabinets. The interior, later decorated following his wife’s death in 1882, is intended as a private memorial for his late father, the Bishop of London, Charles James Blomfield (1786-1857) and a memorial from a devoted husband to his late wife Caroline Harriet Smith (1840-1882).
