A late Victorian ebony, palmwood and ivory inlaid display cabinetprobably by Gillow and Co. or Lamb of ManchesterWith ivory stringing, the central bevelled glass inset astragal glazed door enclosing two shelves, flanked by a pair of twin raised panelled quarter veneered and tablet inlaid doors, each enclosing one shelf, above a Greek key inlaid frieze, over a central bevelled glass inset astragal glazed door, enclosing one shelf, flanked by two raised panelled tablet inlaid and roundel centred doors, interspersed throughout with reeded pilasters, the Chubb lock plates stamped with serial numbers and also stamped: 'CHUBB PATENT, 128 QUEEN VICTORIA ST., ST. PAUL'S, LONDON', 110cm wide x 36cm deep x 172cm high, (43in wide x 14in deep x 67 1/2in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe offered lot previously belonged to the grandfather of the current owner and vendor. And it is thought by family repute that the great grandfather, Sir Charles Alexander Innes KCSI CIE(1874-1959), originally acquired this display cabinet at the end of the 19th century. Both of these forebears lived and worked in colonial India and Burma, where they were evidently central figures in the administrative running of the British Empire overseas.It seems highly likely that the present piece remained in imperial India until the country gained its independence in 1947, from which time onwards the cabinet evidently permanently returned to England with the family.Sir Charles Alexander InnesCharles Alexander Innes, who was born in Secunderabad, Hyderabad, went on to pass the Indian Civil Service exam in 1897 following an education at Merchant Taylors' School and St. John's College, Oxford. Charles travelled to the Madras Presidency where he was employed as a settlement officer in Malabar, in which capacity he also supplied material for The Imperial Gazetteer of India. Then he took up the role of Deputy Secretary to the Indian government. By 1916 Innes had been elected Director of Industries and Controller of Munitions in Madras. After World War I, Innes was appointed Foodstuffs Commissioner with the Indian government. In 1920, as secretary in the Commerce Department, one of his additional responsibilities was to oversee the functioning of the railways. During the following year, Charles Alexander was made Head of the Commerce Department. Two highlights from the period of his term were: the partition of the general finance budget from the railways budget and the foundation of a policy known as 'discriminating protection', the latter of which granted India more self-determination in the area of fiscal policy.The establishment of a Tariff Board of inquiries, which was of massive assistance to the rapidly expanding steel and iron industries in India, was also a policy accredited to Innes. This in turn set up the system which subsequently provided major support in terms of both arming and bolstering the allied forces during World War II. Having been honoured with the position of Governor of Burma in 1927, he went on to serve as such until 1932. Ultimately Charles Alexander was chairman of the Mercantile Bank of India between 1938 and 1952, after initially joining the Bank's board in 1933.Among the most significant distinctions bestowed upon Innes throughout his life were; Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (1919 Birthday Honours) for services during the war; Companion of the Order of the Star of India (1921 Birthday Honours); and Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India (1924 New Year Honours).In 1900 Sir Charles, who was actually descended from the Inneses of Drainie, married Agatha Rosalie, who was the daughter of Colonel Kenlie Stevenson of the Indian Army. Together they had four sons and one daughter. Their daughter Rosalie married Thomas Wynford Rees, the latter being Charles Alexander's private secretary during Innes's tenure as Governor of Burma. During much of his career Rees served as a highly decorated officer in the British Indian Army but eventually progressed to attain the rank of Major General.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Alexander_InnesThe item within this lot containing ivory has been registered in accordance with the Ivory Act (Section 10).

A pair of rosewood D-shaped hanging display cabinets by Edward Barnsleypossibly made in 1967 following a Barnsley designEach inlaid with sycamore stringing, the projecting top above a hinged glazed door with re-entrant upper angles, enclosing glass shelves, each stamped: 'BARNSLEY', 51cm wide x 24cm deep x 76cm high, (20in wide x 9in deep x 29 1/2in high) (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe offered pair of hanging display cabinets were bought 'ready made' from the Edward Barnsley workshop by the parents of the current owner and vendor.Unfortunately no specific commission details relating to the present cabinets appear among the records at the Edward Barnsley Workshop.However it is almost certainly the case that they were made, following a 1967 Barnsley design, for the purpose of workshop stock, possibly alongside other identical or comparable examples of this type.The Barnsley design for the current lot, which is dated 1967, is illustrated in the exhibition catalogue, Edward Barnsley, Sixty Years of Furniture Design and Cabinet Making, printed: 1982, fig. 73, p. 55. The original pair of rosewood and sycamore inlaid display cabinets of this particular model were specially made by the Barnsley workshop for a Mrs E. Hibberd.The plinth to the interior of these cabinets was requested by Mrs Hibberd so that any objects to be displayed inside them would be visible above the door frame. The Japanese silk used for the back and plinth of the interior had been sourced in London by Edward Barnsley following Mrs Hibberd's requirement of a soft lining. It is interesting to note that another two pairs of this exact design, which were made from Cuban mahogany, were produced at the same time. And it is documented that one of these pairs was purchased by a Mrs Bennett.We are extremely grateful to the Edward Barnsley Educational Trust for their assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A pair of William IV 'Wilkie Patent' rosewood library armchairsby John Wilkie or the firm of Wilkie and CochranCirca 1835, each with button back leather upholstery, the scrolled and dished toprail above lotus-leaf wrapped volute scroll arm supports with downswept terminals, on ring turned and lobed front legs, with square splayed rear legs, terminating in brass cappings and castors, each spring-loaded slatted metal seat support twice stamped: 'WILKIE PATENT', each approximately: 66cm wide x 62cm deep x 93cm high, (25 1/2in wide x 24in deep x 36 1/2in high) (2)Footnotes:Although the cabinet making (and especially chair making) partnership of Wilkie and Cochran is documented as working in London throughout the period 1817-c.1840, John Wilkie is also recorded as operating independently from 1817 or 1818 onwards. Wilkie's own firm was located at 1 Norfolk St, Fitzroy Sq., but it is unclear as to whether this continued alongside Wilkie and Cochran's combined enterprise, which was based at 20 Nassau St., Middlesex Hospital, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, ed. by G. Beard and C. Gilbert, Leeds, 1986, p. 975.The 'WILKIE AND COCHRAN' stamp is arguably the one most widely associated with the individual John Wilkie, however there are also a number of examples of chairs which are impressed with: 'WILKIE PATENT', as appears stamped to the top of the slatted metal seat on the offered lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

MICHEL COMTE, 56cm wide x 36cm deep x 133cm high, (22in wide x 14in deep x 52in high)Footnotes:Charles-Guillaume Diehl (1811 - 1885), like many cabinet makers who plied their trade in France during both the 18th and 19th centuries, was actually of German origin. However Diehl settled in Paris in 1840 and established a large atelier at 39, rue Saint-Sebastien. By 1870, there were no fewer than six hundred craftsmen employed at his company.As well as producing furniture for his many wealthy clients, Diehl's firm also made a vast array of luxury objects such as jewellery caskets, liqueur cabinets, games boxes and humidor cabinets. Among Diehl's most well known pieces are those he supplied for the important international exhibitions which took place during the third quarter of the 19th century and begun with the most significant of them all, the Great Exhibition of 1851. He won numerous awards and prizes at all of these exhibitions. A selection of items executed by Diehl are currently housed in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, the Musee de l'Ecole de Nancy and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, as well at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, C.

The first part with plates by Silvestre is the first major description of the festivities held during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King (in May 1664). More than six hundred guests attended the parades, equestrian battles, theatre (with music and ballet, including performances of Moliere's La Princesse d'Alide and the first performances of Tartuffe and Georges Dandin) and fireworks, to celebrate the improvements made at Versailles since 1661, entitled ‘The Pleasures of the Enchanted Island’. The title was inspired by an episode from Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, where the sorceress Alcina holds Ruggiero and his knights on her enchanted island; to keep themselves amused, the captives take part in tilting at the ring and attended a play and a ballet. The scenery was designed by Charles Vigerani, and the description of events written by Charles Perrault. The second part describes the spectacle held on 18 July 1668, to celebrate the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, which marked the successful conclusion of the War of Devolution against Holland (1667-1668). The event also honoured Louis XIV’s new favourite, Madame de Monstespan. The third part describes the six days of festivities between 4 July and 31 August 1674, in celebration of the reconquest of the Franche-Comté, and included Lully's opera Alceste, a concert in the Trianon garden, Moliere's Le Malade Imaginaire, a banquet, fireworks, and illumination around the Grand Canal.
