Lot 127
A Regency ormolu mounted rosewood and parcel gilt breakfront low cabinet attributed to Marsh and TathamCirca 1810The superstructure with a breakfront upper tier, on four gilt bronze octagonal ring turned baluster shaped front columns, with a triple moulded panelled back comprised of one long central and two short end panels, each inset with intersecting waved grills and later pleated silk material, the top above an ovolo moulded cornice, over a frieze mounted with four ribbon wrapped and ribbon tied ivy wreath angles, with one large central panelled door inset with waved grills and later pleated silk, flanked by two smaller conforming doors, two of the doors enclosing one long fixed shelf and two short adjustable shelves, one end door enclosing six graduated solid mahogany drawers each with inset brass handles, interspersed with four panel mounted pilasters each headed by a lotus-leaf capital mount, terminating in a plinth base, with a triple chamfered panelled back, approximately: 153cm wide x 56cm deep x 119cm high, (60in wide x 22in deep x 46 1/2in high)Footnotes:A related pair of low bookcases attributed to Marsh and Tatham sold Christie's, London, 14 June 2001, Important English Furniture, lot 174. They have essentially identical laurel wreath and lotus-leaf paired ormolu mounts to those on the offered lot. All three of these cabinets, despite being of English origin, are clearly examples of the ancient Grecian inspired French Neoclassicism which was first promulgated in France during the 1790s. This style was then subsequently promoted in England, at the very beginning of the 1800s, by the then Prince of Wales (later to be George IV) in tandem with the renowned collector and connoisseur, Thomas Hope (d. 1831).The present cabinet, along with the aforementioned models, are each mounted with wreath ornamentation typically representing Apollo, the ancient Greek god of poetry, music and the arts. However, the pairing of pilasters headed by palm-flowered or lotus-leaf ormolu work with these distinctive wreath mounts is most likely a reference to the grecian choragic monument of Thrasyllus, which appears illustrated in J. Stuart and N. Revett, The Antiquities of Athens, 1762. Importantly, almost identical gilt bronze adorned pilasters are a prominent element on a satinwood desk provided in 1811 for Carlton House in London, upon behalf of the Prince of Wales. This was executed by the renowned cabinet making partnership of William Marsh and Thomas Tatham, see W.H. Pyne, Carlton House, 1817 and J. O'Brien & D. Guinness, Great Irish Houses and Castles, 1992, London, p. 161.The particularly well defined and highly detailed mounts on the offered model were almost certainly produced by Alexis Decaix (d.1811), who was a French bronze-founder based on Old Bond Street. Decaix supplied ormolu upon behalf of the then Prince of Wales (later George IV) and in turn gained recognition in large part due to the hugely influential collector and designer, Thomas Hope, via the latter's 1807 publication, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration.Similar gilt bronze wreath mounts also feature on a desk provided for Hothfield Place in Kent, which was home to the 9th Earl of Thanet. This desk sold Christie's, 27 November 1969, lot 142. Closely related palms or lotus leaves, as appear on the above, are among the ormolu mounts adorning the yew wood bookcases made in 1806 by the firm of Marsh and Tatham for the Prince of Wales. One of these bookcases sold Christie's, 3 July 1997, lot 70. Such Grecian ornament, which was often favoured by Marsh and Tatham, drew its more recent inspiration from the Neoclassical furniture housed at the Duchess Street property belonging to Thomas Hope, as well as from the latter's designs. Another rosewood bookcase, made in 1806 by Marsh and Tatham, which has similar ormolu mounts to both the present and aforementioned examples, is one forming part of the Royal Collection, Buckingham Palace. This appears illustrated in M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture, 1795-1820, 1948, Glasgow, fig. 11, p. 64.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Lot 96
An important George III mahogany, tulipwood, harewood, ebony, purplewood, rosewood and fruitwood inlaid, marquetry and parquetry architectural tea caddy attributed to William Potter of Cornhill, London Circa 1785 Inlaid in the form of a Georgian house, the front and reverse each centred by steps leading to a portico with Ionic columns, the raised hinged lid comprised of inlaid overlapping lozenges within three tablets, the roundel inset with a compass star within an eared quarter veneered cartouche with foliate angles, the reverse of the lid inlaid with two end tablets each inlaid with a conforming compass star flanking a central rosette, with a chequered border and a Greek key pattern surround, enclosing a divided mahogany interior with three hinged lidded and lead-lined canisters, each canister lid inlaid with two lozenge tablets flanking a central tablet, the two end lids each inlaid with a patera-inset roundel and the central lid with the Royal crown, on a plinth base, the underside of the canisters inscribed respectively from left to right: 'L', 'M' and 'R' 25.5cm wide, 12.5cm deep, 16.5cm high (10in wide, 4 1/2in deep, 6in high) Footnotes: The fashion for tea caddies and other boxes in the form of houses or other decorative buildings emerged in the last quarter of the 18th century and continued into the 19th century. The early caddies featured fine marquetry and parquetry inlaid decoration including a plethora of timbers and great attention was paid to architectural detailing including windows, mouldings, brickwork and rustic quoins. The majority of these caddies were made in the form of generic Palladian villas and imposing townhouses but it is possible that some specific commissions copied the exteriors of their owners own residences. Of this small group of caddies, the most famous and well documented example is an extraordinarily fine and rare caddy dating from 1786 modelled on Carlton House which was the then London home of the Prince Regent. Designed by the architect Henry Holland, the house was constructed in 1783 and demolished in 1826. The caddy was made by the cabinet maker William Potter of Cornhill and was sent by its maker to George III for his inspection. It was then subsequently raffled with fifty subscribers paying two guineas each. The subscribers included prominent aristocrats and figures of the day including Prince Augustus Frederick, the Dukes of York, Queensberry and Cornwall and Lady Elizabeth Foster together with Lord Nelson's mistress Lady Hamilton. However, ironically the caddy was won by Potter himself who had purchased several tickets. Now in the collection of the Museum of London (A7547/1), it features particularly fine inner tea cannisters which were also are inlaid with architectural detail and windows so that when they are removed from the caddy they become subsidiary pavilions flanking the main house. This caddy also features fully signed inset mother of pearl discs bearing Potters name and the date of manufacture, presumably as a form of self promotion. The offered lot can be attributed to William Potter by way of comparison to the Museum of London example due the stylistic similarities of its design and the fineness of its construction. Interestingly, although the exterior of the three inner cannisters are plainer than the two inner cannisters of the Museum of London example, the central cannister features a crown motif to its lid suggesting that it may have been commissioned from Potter by an aristocratic supporter of George III or perhaps even a member of the Royal Family in homage to the monarch. A comparable caddy, almost certainly also by Potter, was sold by Sothebys, London, Important English Furniture (including the Robert Harman collection of late 18th and early 19th century tea caddies), 12 November 1999, lot 40. Literature Stevens, Richenburg & Walkling, A, K & G, edts., The Story of British Tea Chests and Caddies: Social History and Decorative Techniques, Pub. ACC Art Books, 2022, p. 130, fig. 511a & 511b.
