Lot 1756
A Napoleon III ormolu mounted ebony side cabinet, third quarter 19th century, the white serpentine marble top upon an egg and dart moulded rim, the panelled mahogany lined frieze drawer with scrolled strapwork mounts and foliate C scroll cartouche escutcheon issuing a husk pendant, the shaped angles mounted with scrolled lion heads centred below by scallop shells and flower head pendants, above a pair of panelled gadrooned doors with acanthus clasped scroll angles centred by satyr masks, the apron with a scrolled foliate swag upon gadrooned bun sabots. Note: The `Grohe a Paris` stamp, situated on the top of the left shaped angle of this side cabinet, refers to Guillaume (1808-1885) and Jean Michel Grohe. The two brothers established their cabinet making workshop in Paris under the trade name `Grohe Freres` in 1829. Their firm rapidly gained a reputation for creating some of the most original and finely executed French furniture of the 19th century. Among the most impressive pieces that the Grohe brothers produced, such as this side cabinet, were their Louis XIV revival ormolu mounted side cabinets and Louis XVI style marquetry tables. From the middle of the 19th century until the Grohe firm`s closure in 1878, their workshop supplied similar revival furniture to emperor Napoleon III of France, one of their most illustrious clients. On top of this, the renowned Grohe business provided furniture for most of the major royal houses in Europe, including Queen Victoria from 1862 onwards. Grohe pieces were provided continually for all of the most important exhibitions which took place between 1834 and 1878 in France ("19th Century European Furniture" , C. Payne) The regal lion heads pay homage to the imperial court of Napoleon III, who ruled France between 1851 and 1870. During this period French cabinet makers, such as the Grohe brothers, sought to re-interpret the royal baroque and neoclassical styles, predominant in France in the 18th century, in order to glorify their contemporary ruler. The ormolu satyr masks, egg and dart mouldings, floral pendants and acanthus clasps, all classical elements of the Louis XIV style, are incorporated in magnificent fashion in order to parallel the reign of the `Sun King` to that of Napoleon III. The satyr masks make reference to the half goat men of classical mythology who were often involved in wine imbibing bacchanalia.

Lot 252
A satinwood cabinet, probably Sri Lanka, c.1700, the two doors crossbanded top and bottom, with decorative pierced brass hinges, an ornate lock plate and brass carrying handles to the sides, the interior with an arrangement of ten ebony moulded drawers. On an English mahogany stand with a gadrooned and Greek key frieze, lappet carved cabriole legs and pad feet, 92cm wide, 51cm deep, 155cm high overal. Cabinets of this type are thought to have been made for V.O.C. officials in either Batavia (now Jakarta) or Sri Lanka. In the present case the extravagant use of satinwood both inside and out and the method of assembling the drawers with small satinwood pegs strongly suggests the latter. The design is clearly inspired by contemporary Japanese lacquer cabinets, particularly the layout of the interior drawers with the side-locking drawers at bottom left and right. The stand is English, c.1740. There is a very similar example made of teak in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and another in the Gemeenten Museum, Den Haag.
