A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY SERPENTINE COMMODE IN THE MANNER OF THOMAS CHIPPENDALE, CIRCA 1770 The upper drawer fitted with an arrangement of lidded compartments with harewood crossbanding and further storage, below a baize lined slide 83cm high, 173cm wide, 60cm deep Provenance: Purchased from Charles Lumb & Sons Ltd, Harrogate, 27th September 1976 (£4,250). The original invoice and accompanying photograph is available with this lot. The elegant serpentine form of this commode is directly comparable to a number of commodes from some of Thomas Chippendale's most notable commissions, including Harewood House, Nostell Priory and Osterley Park. Further comparisons can be made to commode designs from The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1762; two particular sketches by Chippendale share close form to the present lot and it can be argued that these two sketches combine to create the outline and drawer arrangement of this commode (V&A Museum D.720-1906; P. Ward-Jackson, English Furniture Designs of the Eighteenth Century, 1958, pl.106). A black lacquer commode attributed to Chippendale that also shares the same outline as the present lot can be seen, Sotheby's London, Important English Furniture, 7th & 14th May 1993, Lot 150. See also The Nostell Priory Commode, Nostell Priory, West Yorkshire, from the workshop of Thomas Chippendale (NT 959751) for a green lacquered example of similar form and outline. Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use Some of the old expected chips Some old moulding and veneer repairs (see images) Key present and operates all locks All metalware, including the handles and locks appears original Baize to the slide of the upper drawer is a replacement The central fitted section to the upper drawer appears to previously had a hinged dressing mirror, which is now lacking One loper is missing its stopper, so it can be completely removed Some possible later securing screws to the backboard The feet to the commode have been reduced in height from their bases. This has been neatly done and the commode stands well. The feet could be 'built up' again with the attention of a qualified restorer to bring the commode back to its previous height and proportions Small section of loss to moulding of base (see images) Please see all additional images as a visual reference to conditionCondition Report Disclaimer
Y A PAIR OF GEORGE III SATINWOOD, EBONY BANDED AND POLYCHROME PAINTED ARMCHAIRS ATTRIBUTED TO THOMAS CHIPPENDALE JUNIOR, CIRCA 1802 The castor backs stamped 'I.W.LEWTY'S PATENT' under a crown 89cm high, 59.5cm wide, 57cm deepFor closely comparable chairs see Judith Goodison, The Life and Work of THOMAS CHIPPENDALE JUNIOR, Philip Wilson Publishers, 2017, p318, pl 114 - one of a set of eight chairs made for the Cabinet Room, Stourhead, 1802. Please note, the painted decoration to both chairs is likely a later addition and is 19th century in date.

A George III-style mahogany silver table, 19th century, in the Chippendale taste, the serpentine rectangular top with a raised gallery, above a blind fret-carved frieze, raised on outsplayed cluster column supports united by a chamfered 'X' stretcher, terminating in leather castors, 92cm wide69cm deep70cm high
A pair of neoclassical mahogany and ormolu pier tables, late 20th/early 21st century, but incorporating earlier elements, each of demilune outline, the stepped top above a frieze, mounted with twenty-three grand tour cameos of emperors, kings and historic figures,138cm wide63cm deep82cm high (2)This pair of tables is believed to have been made by the restorer Dennis Buggins for antiques dealer John Hobbs, for whom Buggins, between 1992 and 2007, adapted or outright fabricated nearly a thousand pieces, using traditional techniques and period elements to pass them off as genuine articles of fine antique furniture. The legacy of this relationship was brought to light in scandalous detail in 2008, when after disagreements and successive lawsuits between the two, Buggins not only revealed the estimated number of forgeries that he had executed for Hobbs, but the extent to which his works - some imitating the likes of Thomas Chippendale, Giles Grendey and the Russian cabinetmaker Christopher Meyer - were accepted by the market. Later that year, Sotheby's withdrew a pair of commodes catalogued as 'German c.1800', which carried a top estimate of $300,000, after Buggins' tip that they had been constructed from old wardrobes. Condition ReportGeneral knocks and wear throughout. Some repaired splits to the veneer, with some cleaning and polishing. A few slightly mishapen pieces of of the metalware, but all mounts are fixed securely. A few cracks to cameos, but all are stable and fixed securely. Joints tight and sound.Each cameo approx 6 x 5cm. We understand that they could possibly be 18th or 19th century.

A set of six antique mahogany and needlepoint upholstered Chippendale style dining chairs, with carved and pierced decoration.Generally good used condition. Two top-rails have been re-glued. One cross stretcher is only slotted in. Some signs of historic worm. Upholstery in need of some attention.
A set of three George III Chippendale style splat back dining chairs, with yoke shaped top rails, pierced and carved splats and with solid serpentine fronted seats upholstered in foliate pattern material and raised on moulded front legs. Height to top of back 96 cm, width across seat 55 cm, maximum seat depth 46 cm.
An important pair of George II walnut library armchairs1750-1755, possibly by William BradshawEach upholstered with associated 18th century gros and petit-point needlework depicting assorted flowers and foliage, with a shaped back and acanthus wrapped and rocaille carved c-scrolled arm supports, above a flared serpentine and shaped seat frame carved with scrolled foliage, pearled ovals and opposing c-scrolls interspersed by central combined lambrequin and shell motifs, on cabochon embedded pierced foliate lambrequin and shell clasped cabriole legs carved with bellflower pendants, terminating in acanthus wrapped and scrolled feet, with recessed leather castors, the reverse with a scroll shaped seat frame, one chair with an old printed paper depository label, each: 79cm wide x 81.5cm deep x 98cm high, (31in wide x 32in deep x 38 1/2in high) (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe present pair of armchairs were formerly with Mallett & Son (Antiques) Ltd.Subsequently, they were purchased by the current owner and vendor Sotheby's, London, 17 January 2019, Royal & Noble, lot 181.A pair of virtually identical parcel gilt walnut armchairs, which almost certainly originally formed part of the same suite, sold Christie's, London, 21 January 1960, lot 43. These were then acquired from A. Cook by J. Paul Getty later on that same year. Another pair of giltwood examples, likewise probably from this conforming suite, also sold Christie's, London, 20 November 1986, lot 21.A mahogany and parcel gilt side table attributed to Bradshaw, which shares a closely comparable treatment of certain carved features to that on the present chairs, sold Christie's, London, 23 November 2006, lot 60. Evidently the characteristically bold furling of the acanthus wrapped feet along with the prominent cabochon embedded frieze is executed in a very similar manner on this table as on the current models.The offered chairs also relate to a suite of seat furniture supplied by William Bradshaw for the 2nd Earl of Litchfield, Ditchley Park, Oxfordshire in 1743. A further group of seat furniture, probably by the same maker, sold Christie's New York, 16 April 2002, lots 250-257 and Christie's London, 30 March 2011, lot 35.The Rococo-inspired design of the above chairs, which are comprised of beautiful carved acanthus, cabochon and shell details and foliate motifs, is redolent of the output of the cabinet maker William Bradshaw (1700-1775), whose workshop was located in Soho Square, London. Bradshaw, who flourished during the 1750s, was renowned for producing, among many other pieces, seat furniture which was noted for its similarities to equivalent French patterns, and in particular French chairs, of the period. Bradshaw's furniture designs were generally distinguished by their more direct parallels to French furniture than the more mainstream anglicisation of French designs promoted by his contemporaries ( See J. Cornforth, 'How French Style Touched The Georgian Drawing Room', Country Life, 6 January 2000, pp.'s 52-55). Whereas other English versions of this French Rococo style typically tend to be more restrained and less exuberant in their detailing and execution, essentially more in keeping with the 'Director' aesthetic made fashionable by Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP 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.

A George III mahogany serpentine commodeCirca 1770, in the manner of Thomas ChippendaleThe quarter veneered top with a cavetto moulded edge, above four long graduated drawers, the uppermost mahogany lined drawer with a baize inset sliding top, enclosing a central compartment with a later sliding lid flanked by six open compartments and six box-inset compartments, each with a chequer pattern-inlaid lid, over three oak lined drawers, flanked by canted interlaced blind fretwork angles, on shaped bracket feet, the mounts apparently original, with some red wash and laminated blocking to the feet, the central recess of the top drawer almost certainly originally fitted with a sliding hinged adjustable toilet mirror, 105cm wide x 56cm deep x 82.5cm high, (41in wide x 22in deep x 32in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe offered lot previously formed part of a private collection in London.Thereafter with Rolleston Antiques, London.Characteristics such as the laminated blocking to the bracket feet and the use of a red wash to some secondary timber surfaces, such as to the back of this commode, have historically been constructional elements closely associated with the output of Thomas Chippendale. In addition to this, the design used for the handles (which appear to be original) are fairly typical of Chippendale's output during the period 1765-1774.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP 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.

A George III mahogany chest on chest attributed to a cabinet maker based on the historic St. Martin's Lane in LondonCirca 1760, possibly by Thomas ChippendaleThe dentilled segmental triangular and pierced trellis work pediment above an ogee and dentil moulded cornice, over an interlaced blind fretwork frieze comprised of an alternating pattern of rosettes, lozenges and opposing intersecting scrolls, with two short oak lined drawers below, above three long graduated oak lined drawers, flanked by canted interlaced blind fretwork angles, over a pagoda canopy carved waist moulding, with three long graduated oak lined drawers below, on shaped reverse ogee bracket feet, with original brass mounts, red wash and laminated blocking to the bracket feet, 114cm wide x 60cm deep x 201cm high, (44 1/2in wide x 23 1/2in deep x 79in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe present lot was formerly with Ronald A. Lee.Subsequently housed within a private collection, London.Thereafter with Rolleston Antiques, London.With a classical Palladian pediment, Chinese fretwork and pagoda canopy waist moulding together with French foliate handles, the offered tallboy epitomises the flair and genius of mid-18th century designers who harmoniously combined the exotic styles composing the English Rococo movement which flourished during the 1750s and early 1760s. This chest on chest is of particularly elegant proportions and very finely carved. The construction is first rate, and the mahogany used is of a particularly high quality. It is a wonderful example of the period and would have been made by one of the leading London cabinet makers undoubtedly located on or very close to the historic St. Martin's Lane.The design echoes patterns found in Thomas Chippendale's Director and shows strong resemblance to the documented work of William Hallett. However, the piece aligns most closely with the distinctive style and designs associated with Vile and Cobb. Many accomplished cabinet-makers had workshop premises in St. Martin's Lane, London, and the area emerged as the centre the London furniture trade. Vile and Cobb, who became Royal Cabinet-Makers to King George III, formed a syndicate with William Hallett in 1753 in St Martin's Lane. Thomas Chippendale and Mathias Lock were among other renowned cabinet-makers and carvers to have workshops in this area.Historically, characteristics which are evident on the above such as s-shaped keyholes, laminated blocking to the bracket feet, the presence of a red wash to some secondary surfaces, fine dovetails, the use of short-grain drawer kickers and a recognisable design of the mounts have been closely associated with the output of Thomas Chippendale. Consequently it is certainly a legitimate possibility that the offered model was made within close proximity to Chippendale's workshop.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP 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.

A George III mahogany serpentine commodeCirca 1770, in the manner of Thomas ChippendaleWith projecting canted angles, the quarter veneered top with a reverse ogee moulded edge, above four long graduated drawers, the mahogany lined top drawer with a baize inset sliding top enclosing a central recess flanked by six shaped compartments each inset with a lidded box, each lid inlaid with boxwood and ebony chequer pattern stringing, with other compartments, the angles with interlaced blind fretwork, on shaped bracket feet, with a red wash and laminated blocking to the feet, the central recess of the top drawer almost certainly originally fitted with a sliding hinged adjustable toilet mirror, the mounts apparently original, 107cm wide x 58cm deep x 83.5cm high, (42in wide x 22 1/2in deep x 32 1/2in high)Footnotes:Provenance The offered lot was acquired from Bigland Hall, located near Lake Windermere, by Rolleston Antiques, the latter firm being then known as The Antique Home. Subsequently, the present commode was exhibited by Rolleston at the 1991 Grosvenor House Antiques Fair, from where it was purchased at that time.Characteristics such as the laminated blocking to the bracket feet and the use of a red wash to some secondary timber surfaces, such as to the back of this commode, have historically been constructional elements closely associated with the output of Thomas Chippendale.

A George II or early George III mahogany library armchair1755-1762With a shaped back, scrolled acanthus clasped, cabochon embedded and downswept scrolled arms with foliate wrapped shaped and scrolled terminals, above a shaped and serpentine seat frame carved with rocaille and conforming side aprons, on cabriole front legs with twin cabochon encrusted foliate sprays, opposing c-scrolls, acanthus and rocaille, terminating in inscrolled feet, on splayed rear legs, one rear leg probably a later replacement, 74cm wide x 74.5cm deep x 102cm high, (29in wide x 29in deep x 40in high)Footnotes:A closely related armchair to the present lot, with conforming rocaille carving to its seat frame, is illustrated in A. Coleridge, Chippendale Furniture, 1968, London, fig. 189.A Thomas Chippendale design for 'French chairs', dated 1753, with comparable rocaille carved seat frames and similar c-scroll and foliate Rococo carving to that on the offered example feature in the first edition of Chippendale's The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker's Director, pl. XX. The same drawing is replicated in a reprint of this seminal publication, 1966, New York, pl. XX, whilst also appearing in Pictorial Dictionary of British 18th Century Furniture Design, compiled by E. White, 2000, Woodbridge, pl. XVIII, p. 100.Two other related designs by Chippendale, again described as 'French chairs' in the 'Director', are illustrated in the same book, Ibid, pl. XIX and pl. XX, originally published in the first and third editions respectively. These have similar rocaille carving to that on the present chair with comparable shaped blocks to the base of their arm terminals.A further drawing, which is arguably closest of all to the offered model and described as a 'French Elbow Chair', features in 'The Universal System of Household Furniture' by William Ince and John Mayhew, published in 1762. This also appears in Pictorial Dictionary of British 18th Century Furniture Design, pl. LIX, p. 103.The opposing c-scroll, rocaille, cabochon embedded foliate spray and scrolled acanthus carving on the offered armchair are recurrent characteristics found on much of the finest French Rococo-influenced seat furniture made in England during the 1750s and even into the early 1760s.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP 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.
