'The delicate Sheraton satinwood suite with tulip wood banding and open pierced shield shaped backs with painted floral decoration, cane seats and loose cushions upholstered in amber silk damask, comprising; a two chair back settee, open armchair and three small chairs, sold for £65 Other Notes: Wright and Mansfield were one of the pre-eminent makers of furniture in the George III style and central to the revival in interest of late 18th Century English furniture from 1860s-1880s. The partnership between Alfred Thomas Wright, cabinet maker and upholsterer and Thomas Needham Mansfield was formed in 1860, working firstly at 3 Great Portland Street, and subsequently at 104 New Bond Street, London. The partnership was dissolved in 1886. They specialised in furniture based on the designs of Robert Adam, Thomas Chippendale, George Hepplewhite and Thomas Sheraton. The Victoria & Albert Museum hold as part of the collection a chair very similar in style to this suite, purchased in the stock sale of 1887. Such was the quality of the work of Wright and Mansfield, it was decided that the museum must hold an example of a reproduction chair to ensure they were not mistaken as originals in the future. The museum had previously bought a satinwood cabinet in the Adam style which Wright and Thomas had exhibited at the Paris Exhibition of 1867. No apparent damages, just expected wear.

The same table is listed in a transcript of Chippendale’s account to Ninian Home for Paxton House, see Christopher Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, 2 vols, vol 1, pp.273-275. For other related examples see also Christie’s London, Important English Furniture 8thJune 2006, lot 15, sold £102,000 and Christie’s New York, 21st October 2005, lot 12, sold $102,000. For another related Pembroke table to the offered lot, see C.C. Stevens and S. Whittington, 18th century English Furniture, The Norman Adams Collection, 1989, pages 320-321. The slender channelled cabriole legs, stylised shell and volute scroll carving and serpentine shape of the tops are all features that the current and Norman Adams example have in common. The handles of the offered Pembroke conform to a design often used by Thomas Chippendale in the period circa 1770-75. In addition, evidence of an elevated level of construction along with the excellent quality of the timber suggests that the present table is possibly the work of Chippendale during this period.

The term 'Cockpen' appears to originate from the village of the same name in Midlothian. The private family pew of the Earls of Dalhousie in the Village church, near their seat of Dalhousie Castle, is said to have had panels of this type which inspired the design.For related designs of Chinese chairs', see Thomas Chippendale, The Gentleman and Cabinet Makers Director, Third Edition, 1762 (reprinted in 1939 by J.Tiranti Ltd), plates XXVI, XXVII and XXVIII.For a set of chairs of this design see Christie's, Interiors, lot 171, 15th July 2014.

HICKS, Collector and .. ippendale, Adams...', 75cm cm high, 58cm wide, 38cm deep The label probably relates to one James Hicks who was born into a family of Dublin chair-makers and was trained in London in the cabinet making workshops on Tottenham Court Road. On his return to Dublin he set up businesses in Lower Pembroke Street in 1894 and established what was to become one of the city's leading cabinet-making firms. His clients included Princess Victoria, the Crown Princess of Sweden, and King Edward VII. The firm specialised in high quality copies of pieces in the styles of Sheraton, Hepplewhite, Chippendale styles as well as pieces in the style of the prominent 18th century Dublin cabinet-maker and marqueteer William Moore. Hicks described himself as a 'Cabinet Manufacturer, Collector and Restorer of Chippendale, Adam and Sheraton furniture' - it is a fragment of this label present on the current lot.

Lot 1347
An Edwardian mahogany Chippendale style settee, with arched back, rollover arms, loose cushions, exposed showframe and raised on legs of square tapered section. Width 208 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The settee is structurally very sound with no significant movement at the joints. The rear legs are in good order as are the side rails. The exposed showframe to the arms is in good condition on both sides. The left hand front leg is in good condition. The second leg in from the left is solid and secure but has a loss in the timber to the left hand side and bottom right hand side. This should be visible on our image. Leg three has minor scuffs and marks. Leg 4 is secure but appears to have had a break across the block where the leg joins the settee frame. Whilst this is secure the carving on the right hand return is only partially visible and there appears to be some form of wood filler here. The upholstery is generally fairly clean with no significant staining and no visible tears or holes. It is a little discoloured at the bottom edge of the rear panel. Why it is a little dirty here we cannot tell. The cushions are both in good condition with no significant issues.
