A William and Mary japanned and engraved-brass mounted cabinet on a carved giltwood stand1690-1700, the cabinet decorated with pagodas, rustic Oriental figures, exotic birds, trees and assorted flowers, the pair of doors enclosing twelve drawers, on a stand comprising a pierced scrolled acanthus and flowerhead carved apron centred by a vase of flowers flanked by opposing cherubs, on scrolled foliate clasped and floral carved S-scroll legs, 137cm wide x 70cm deep x 164cm high, (53 1/2in wide x 27 1/2in deep x 64 1/2in high)Footnotes:The lacquered objects and screens brought back to Europe by the East India Company during the 17th century created a demand for larger, more practical objects which shared the same highly colourful and decorative surfaces of their Eastern counterparts. In order to try and recreate the rich and highly finished effect of oriental lacquer work, European cabinet makers turned to John Stalker and George Parker's 1688 Treatise of Japanning and Varnishing which soon became a key reference work, since it contained not only recipes for producing the various different colours but also patterns of Chinese figures, plants and gardens which could be adapted as necessary. European 'Japanning' was popular until the end of the eighteenth century, and was often used in bedroom apartments in the decoration of mirrors on stands and various cabinets such as the present lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
