Large Heriz carpet, large central medallion against a strawberry red field filled with flower heads, deep spandrels and enclosed by borders, 320cm x 240cm.Condition report:Fading to one end with the colours to one corner quite heavily bleached. Both ends appear to have lost a degree as the border design and motifs are cut short.

A Regency giltwood fire screen in the manner of Thomas Chippendale the Younger, first quarter of the 19th century, the uprights with Egyptian herm finials and carved with stylised harebells, holding an adjustable frame enclosing a pile fabric panel, probably Savonnerie, depicting a golden pheasant and parrots in a wooded landscape and indistinctly signed, raised on splayed end supports united by a shaped anthemion and rosette-carved stretcher, and terminating in claw feet and castors,65cm wide55cm deep152cm high This is almost certainly one of the pair illustrated in the Drawing Room and the Green State Room at Holkham in H A Tipping and C Latham, 'English Homes', 1909, pp.394 and 396 respectively.In Holkham's archives, the earliest possible mention of the pair of fire screens is in an 1842 inventory, described as 'two carved and gilt fire screens, embroidered centres'. In the 1909 inventory, they are described as 'Aubusson pile tapestry, exotic birds after Buffon' and both were together in the South Dining Room at this point.Further still, the 1967 inventory mentions 'A Regency gilt framed cheval fire-screen, in the Egyptian taste...the rectangular panel filled with parrots and a golden pheasant in a wooded landscape in Savonnerie pile fabric signed ‘Cant’ the screen bearing a trade label inscribed to Jo [sic.] Smith, apprentice and successor to the late Mr Harewood [sic.] of Conduit Street, carver and gilder and looking glass and picture frame maker'. In 1794, John Smith was apprenticed to William Hurwood (fl.1780-92), carver and gilder of 18 Conduit Street, London, for a premium of £20 ('A Memoir of the author [John Smith] by his grandson', 'Connoisseur', 1903, vol.5, p.214). He set up in business soon after the end of his apprenticeship in 1801. His early trade label simply described him as 'J. Smith, Carver & Gilder, Looking Glass Manufacturer, and Picture Frame Maker, 98 Swallow Street, near Conduit Street' (example on John Hoppner's 'George IV as Prince of Wales', Wallace Collection, London).The pile fabric panel of exotic birds was probably based on a cartoon made for the Savonnerie manufactory in Paris, based on a similar panel housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The panel, attributed to Thomas Moore (c.1700-1788) was - according to the museum - woven in England and probably by Thomas Whitty (1713-1792) at Axminster (accession number 64.101.1155).Condition ReportSmall areas of loss to the gilding the carpet panel in good order, free from damages and still in strong colour, small areas of loss to the gesso harebells, chips to the feet, adjustable sash mechanism oporational. Please see additional images for reference.
