A rare and large English delftware tea canister or tobacco jar and a cover, circa 1760Probably Liverpool, of tall rectangular shape and square profile with canted edges, a large rectangular aperture on top, painted in blue on three sides with elaborate Chinese garden scenes, including buildings, long-tailed birds, flowering plants and insects, the fourth side with a large peony spray, within a scrolling border, the replacement Chinese porcelain cover with metal mount, 16.5cm high (2)Footnotes:The comma-like scroll border is found on a Liverpool twin-handled sauceboat in the Glaisher Collection, illustrated by Michael Archer, Delftware in the Fitzwilliam Museum (2013), p.281, no.G.15. Also in the Glaisher Collection is a canister similar to the present lot but of slightly smaller proportions and with the more traditional central nozzle expected of a tea canister. Both examples seem unusually large in comparison with contemporary tobacco jars or tea canisters. This might be explained by Liverpool's booming trade of both tobacco and tea in the mid-17th century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Chinese hardwood armchair, 20th Century, with scroll end splat and horse shoe back, above red silk cushion, on square legs, 81cm high. Provenance: From Munstead Wood. The contents of the property are being sold by the former owners of the important country house which has now been purchased by the national trust. Munstead Wood is a Grade I listed house and gardens in Godalming Surrey. The garden was created by garden designer Gertrude Jekyll and became very well-known through her designs, and her books and articles in magazines such as Country Life. The Arts and Crafts style house was built for Jekyll and she lived there until 1932, Munstead Wood was designed by the architect Edwin Lutyens to compliment the garden with Jekylls influence on the original design. Munstead Wood was the first, and perhaps therefore the most important, collaboration between Jekyll and Lutyens in garden and house design. These collaborations number around 120, with other well-known examples including Deanery Garden in Berkshire and Hestercombe House in Somerset. Jekyll transformed the site over the years, first meeting Lutyens at Munstead Wood in 1889 when the collaboration began, and she lived there until her death in 1932. Prior to the sale to the National Trust, Munstead Wood was the vendors family home for more than 50 years, the owners over this time were Sir Robert Clark and Lady Clark who were responsible for the house and gardens regeneration to return it to its original concept. Condition Report: A relatively new item, in good condition with light overall domestic wear, staining to the cushion
