CIRCLE OF GODFREY SYKES (1824-1866) AND JAMES GAMBLE (1875-before 1910) RENAISSANCE REVIVAL CABINET- oak and elm, decorated with penwork, of architectural form, the doors to the front cupboard painted in black with putti, one titled ‘PAINTING’, the other ‘SCULPTURE’, the side doors with monogram ‘SA’ entwined with the national plants of Great Britain & Ireland, and surrounded by a laurel wreath, the whole decorated with bands of neo-renaissance ornament in red and black(115cm wide, 122.5cm high, 57cm deep)Note: The style of the cabinet is unusual within the context of British cabinet making, in that it is painted in a neo-renaissance manner, in red and black on light wood. This is a feature that was also employed on a piano designed by James Gamble and made for Henry Cole, now in the collection of the V&A in London.Despite the current lack of documentary or photographic evidence, it is considered more than likely that this cabinet formed part of the original furnishings of the Victoria & Albert Museum and that the entwined ‘SA’ monogram stands for 'Science and Art' – a feature repeated several times on the West staircase of the V&A building. The staircase was designed by Francis Wollaston Moody, a member of the Museum’s design studio, who was notably influenced by Geoffrey Sykes who had been the first decorative designer of the Museum.
BRUCE J. TALBERT (1838-1881) FOR GILLOW & CO. AESTHETIC MOVEMENT FREESTANDING DESK, CIRCA 1875 oak, with inset original tooled leather skiver and brass hinges and fittings.(152cm wide, 121cm high, 81cm deep)Literature: Talbert B.J. Fashionable Furniture, pub. The Cabinet Maker and Art Furnisher, 1881, where a line drawing of this desk is illustrated. Note: Bruce Talbert was a leading interior designer from the late 1860s until his death in 1881. He published an influential work the Gothic Forms Applied to Furniture, Metal Work and Decoration for Domestic Purposes in 1868. He was acclaimed for the simplicity of his designs which have an underlying geometric structure. His furniture places greater emphasis on horizontal lines than on soaring verticals. Whilst his decorative features are highly complex, they are always harmoniously contained within the overall form of the piece as can be seen in this present lot.

An important 18th century Lombardy ebony banded walnut and ivory inlaid twin pedestal desk, the top and sides inlaid with a scenes from Homer’s Iliad, after original drawings by John Flaxman RA (1755-1826), within moulded shaped ebony cartouches, fitted with three frieze drawers over hinged cupboards, inlaid with allegories representing Hope and Faith, on later castors.UK APHA Registration of an ivory item Submission reference: D99UXPKP W.118cm D.61cm H.82.4cm LOT ESSAY BY DR. ARABELLA CIFANIThe scene is taken from a drawing that the English sculptor and draftsman, John Flaxman(1755–1826), made to illustrate the passages of Homer's Iliad, a commission proposed to him in 1791 by Georgiana Hare-Naylor while he was living in Rome. Here is represented a rare episode, with Polydamas, a character from Greek mythology soothsayer, adviser and valiant warrior, friend and lieutenant of Hector, who fought in the Trojan War and who, in the twelfth book of the Iliad, advises Hector not to cross a dangerous moat that was part of the defence at the Achaean port and also advises Hector not to continue the siege. Hector will not listen to him and will face death at the hands of Achilles (Homer Iliad 12.60).‘’Then verily Polydamus drew nigh to Hector, and spake, saying: “Hector, and ye other leaders of the Trojans and allies, it is but folly that we seek to drive across the trench our swift horses; hard in sooth is it to cross, for sharp stakes are set in it, and close anigh them is the wall of the Achaeans.’’ Homer - Iliad 12.60John Flaxman, sculptor and draftsman, a leading proponent of English neoclassicism, created 34 drawings for Homer's Iliad in Rome in 1793, which were engraved on copper for the first time in Rome by Tommaso Piroli in 1793 ("L'Iliade et the Odyssée d'Homère gravéepar Thomas Piroli d'après les desseins composés par John Flaxman. 94 gravures ", Francesco Romero publisher, Rome, 1793). The meeting Flaxman and Piroli was a happy union, sealed by a public success that also provoked real acts of editorial piracy. "The reprints followed one another in various original editions or copies of the branches in different European cities, attesting to the vast success achieved from Flaxman's inventions masterfully translated and propagated with the burin of Piroli. Two years later, the plates for "The Iliad" were republished in London. In 1805, publishers Longman, Hurst, Rees and Orme printed new editions of both series, including eleven extra illustrations commissioned from Flaxman (five for "The Iliad" and six for "The Odyssey").The style of the ivory inlay perfectly reflects the spirit of Flaxman's engraving, the figures in fact retain their taste for graffiti, which was an absolute novelty at the time. Flaxman avoided the background landscape, setting and detail, focusing on figures rendered with pure outlines. It has long been known that Flaxman drew on and synthesized a wide variety of visual sources in the development of his outline illustrations, combining classical figuration from "Etruscan" reliefs, sculptures, engravings and vases with forms derived from medieval and early Renaissance sources, life studies and observational sketches of daily Italian scenes and characters. Flaxman's style of illustration has been discussed and celebrated by a multitude of critics across Europe and has had a demonstrable influence on artists such as Ingres, Goya and Blake.The cabinet is also enriched with other ivory inlays, representing divinities and allegories, including the allegory of Hope and Faith.GORRINGE’S are grateful to Dr. Cifani, for her identification of John Flaxman’s designs, used in the ivory inlays on this desk.Overall a little evenly faded to a light walnut tone with old dents, small losses and splits throughout commensurate with age, ivory inlay looks to be mostly complete but some small losses notably to the right side of the top, the doors to the drawers are fitted with English locks but no escutcheons suggesting the later addition of the veneers, cupboard doors have Italian locks but no key, lower front right corner is broken with the foot now come loose, minor dents and scuffing elsewhere around the base.PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.
