Y A VICTORIAN EBONY AND IVORY INLAID MUSIC CABINETATTRIBUTED TO OWEN JONES, CIRCA 1865The central section with five long vertical divisions for music folios, above a fall-front opening to shelves for sheet music, the shelves with tooled leather edges for Operas, Miscellaneous, Sacred112cm high, 108cm wide, 44.5cm deep Jackson and Graham were one of the leading Victorian cabinet makers of the second half of the nineteenth century and were probably the most important. Their work was of the highest quality, showcasing the most innovative designers of the day and winning many prizes at international exhibitions. Owen Jones and B.J. Talbert designed for the Paris Exhibitions of 1867 and 1878, Jones for the Vienna Exhibition of 1873. Designers at the firm included Alfred Lorimer and Eugene Prinot, Jackson and Graham also made designs by R.W. Edis, C.L. Eastlake and Talbert. Special commissions were undertaken for Queen Victoria, Napoleon III, the Grand Khedive at Cairo and the Royal Palace in Siam. Owen Jones was highly influential in his promotion of formal, stylised pattern, in direct opposition to the popular taste for the flamboyantly naturalistic. Jones also designed entire interiors for important clients, including the connoisseur Alfred Morrison, both at Fonthill and Carlton House Terrace. Amongst Jones's designs for Fonthill was a well documented semi-circular display cabinet in ebony inlaid with ivory for the display of Morrison's collection of Chinese porcelain. The lower door panels of the cabinet all incorporate Morrison's initials in a central ivory inlaid monogram. Jones was also responsible for the decoration and furnishings at The Priory, 21 North Bank, Regent's Park in 1863 for the novelist George Eliot and partner G.H. Lewes. The ivory inlaid monogram incorporating two 'G's to the panel of the present music cabinet bears distinct similarities to the monogram inlaid panels of the display cabinet at Fonthill. It is tempting to speculate that Owen Jones may have designed the present cabinet for George Eliot and G.H.Lewes as part of the new decorative scheme for The Priory, incorporating their first initials in the monogram. Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips and splits. Some small sections of moulding re-stuck and minor old repairs to inlay. Some ivory stringing to the escutcheon lacking. Key present and operates lock. The fabric inlay to the shelves is possibly later. they bear the expected fraying and wear (see images). Mirror plates with some minor depletion and small grey spots. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE JADE 'PHOENIX' WINE POT AND COVER China, Qing Dynasty, 18th or 19th century Carved in a desirable stone. Shaped as a phoenix standing on its feet, the spout carved as the head, the neck with a loose ring, the handle carved as the tail whose feathers described a circle and continue between the feet up to the front part, the sides carved with the wings, the lid topped by a finial shaped as a phoenix, the inner part masterfully hollowed. Sweet and delicate polish. H: 18 cm - L: 17 cm - w: 4,5 cm Weight: 1050 grams Provenance: > Private collection; > Carlos Alfredo Tornquist Altgelt (1885-1953), O. Ramos Oromi y Cia, Buenos Aires, Argentina, July 27th, 28th and 29th 1936, lot 284; > Joseph Vallot (1854-1925), Drouot, Paris, Messrs Lair-Dubreuil and Portier, November 16th, 17th, 18th 1925. Notes: 1. The use of birds' heads to provide the shape of the spout on pouring vessels has a long history in China. Not only do they appear on bronze vessels, they can also be seen among ceramic wares. Chickens' heads, for example, provide the spout form on a number of Jin dynasty (AD 265-420) ewers with both celadon and black glazes (see The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum 31 Porcelain of the Jin and Tang Dynasties, Commercial Press, Hong Kong, 1996, p. 42, no. 37 and p. 52, no. 47, respectively). The theme of the phoenix to provide inspiration for shape and decoration can be seen in various media in succeeding dynasties, but interestingly the current jade teapot is especially close in concept to the famous Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) blue and white porcelain ewer excavated from the Yuan capital Dadu in 1970. A jade teapot or wine pot with phoenix-head spout, now in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, was loaned by the Chinese Government to the 1935-6 International Exhibition of Chinese Art at the Royal Academy, London (see International Exhibition of Chinese Art, Royal Academy of Arts, London, 1935, p. 255, no. 2828) 2. Compare with an imperial phoenix white jade and cover wine pot offered at Christie's London, 2008/11/04, lot 9. 3. Carlos Alfredo Tornquist Altgelt (1885-1953) was the President of the banking house of Ernesto Tornquist Co., Ltd., and a member of a prominent Argentinian family. A person of influence, he is also known to have played a crucial role in helping to avoid a war between Argentina and Chile in 1902 by managing the British mediation in the border dispute. Throughout the years, he maintained a close friendship with Argentina Presidents Julio A. Roca (1843-1914) and Carlos Pellegrini (1846-1906). 4. Joseph Vallot (1854-1925) was a French astronomer, geographer, naturalist, alpinist and patron of arts and sciences, who studied botanic and geology in Paris and later became the President of the Club Alpin Français. In 1875, he fell in love with Mont Blanc and later on built up the first observatory there called Refuge Vallot where he did install a Salon Chinois which received famous visitors including Pope Pius XI. His large collection of Chinese jades was sold at Drouot in 1925 as a signature / single collection / Estate Sale. 珍稀玉“凤凰”酒壶及盖 中国，清朝，18或19世纪
