A George II mahogany serpentine dressing chest of drawers, circa 1755, the shaped top with moulded edge, above four long graduated drawers interspersed by leaf and ball moulding, the top drawer fitted with a baize inset slide above an arrangement of compartments and lidded compartments around a hinged rectangular mirror, flanked by foliate bellflower carved canted angles, on blind fretwork shaped bracket feet, 79cm high, 100cm wide, 59cm deep Many parallels between works by the highly skilled mid-18th century cabinet maker William Gomm and this chest can be drawn. Based in Clerkenwell Close, London, Gomm's designs were heavily inspired by Thomas Chippendale's Director with combinations of gothic, rococo, and chinoiserie elements included in single items of furniture. This can be seen in the contrast between the trailing floral carved angles and the blind fretwork feet. For a desk possibly by Gomm also featuring this variety of stylistic elements see, Christie's, New York, American Collecting in the English Tradition: Property of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 27th October 2015, Lot 92 (£341,000). This format of chest demonstrates one of Gomm's most prolific designs with at least six 'Exceeding fine Serpentine Commode Dressing Tables' supplied to Lord Leigh by William Gomm & Son for Stoneleigh Park in 1763. For a record of this commission see C. Gilbert, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, 1986, p. 350. Definite similarities can also be seen in the quality of the floral foliage carving featured on this chest and an altar table by Gomm owned by the V&A museum in London but on display at Stoneleigh Abbey, Warwickshire (W.7-1990). For a related example of chest see, Sotheby's, New York, Gallison Hall: The James F. Scott Collection, 15th October 2018, Lot 273 ($10,625).Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips, splits and small losses.

Der Typus des Mainzer Schreibschrankes, "Cantourgen" genannt, abgeleitet von "Kantor" oder "Cantour", was einen Schreibtisch bzw. ein Büro bezeichnet, gilt als Höhepunkt deutscher Möbelkunst des 18. Jahrhunderts. Es entspricht auch dem lokalen Dialekt, dem "Cantour" (dem großen Büro) ein "gen", zu Hochdeutsch die Verkleinerungsform "chen" beizufügen, und so ein "Cantour-chen" ein "kleines Büro" zu benennen. Die charakteristischen stilistischen Merkmale sind u.a. die markanten, abgeschrägten und teils frei stehenden Volutenlisenen und C-Bögen an den Ecken mit den korinthischen Kapitellen sowie die reichen Intarsien aus verschiedenen Materialien. Dieser Möbeltypus galt als Meisterstück der Mainzer Tischler und die Exemplare wurden zumeist für den lokalen Adel gefertigt. Besonders ist die Tatsache, daß sich zu den hervorragenden Mainzer Möbeln aus dem 18. Jahrhundert nicht nur die Möbel als solche, sondern auch eine sehr umfangreiche Reihe von Meisterrissen der Mainzer Schreinerzunft erhalten haben, die in der Folge die Formen der Meisterstücke der Zeit zwischen 1676 und 1816 wiedergibt. Lit. Fritz Arens, Meisterrisse und Möbel der Mainzer Schreiner, Mainz 1955, Tafel 53 ff. Bekannte Mainzer Stückmeister waren u.a. Anton Ortlauff, Johann Philipp Joseph Alffter, Johann Philipp Raab, Ludwig Escher, Franz Brant oder Heinrich Härtig und Johann Valentin Brenner. In Privatbesitz sind noch verschiedene Exemplare der Cantourgen bekannt, weitere Stücke u.a. im Reiß-Museum (Mannheim), im Badischen Landesmuseum (Karlsruhe), im Hessischen Landesmuseum (Darmstadt) oder in der Eremitage (St. Petersburg). Lit. Kreisel/Himmelheber, Die Kunst des deutschen Möbels, Spätbarock und Rokoko, S. 304 ff., Abb. 1038-1045, wobei von den hier vorgestellten Exemplaren ein Schreibschrank von Kilian Bender um 1750 bzw. ein Sekretär von Johann Philipp Raab aus dem Jahr 1766 (Abb. 1038, 1041) in der Form und Volutendekoration die meisten Ähnlichkeiten zu dem hier angebotenen Stück vorweisen. Vgl. Auch Wolfgang L. Eller, Schreibmöbel 1700-1850, Abb. 96-104 sowie Heidrun Zinnkann, Meisterstücke Mainzer Möbel des 18. Jahrhunderts, Katalognr. X. Die Geschichte der einst freien Stadt Mainz (1244-1462) wurde bis zum Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts durch die Mainzer Kurfürsten und Erzbischöfe bestimmt. Dank seiner günstigen geographischen Lage am Rhein und seiner Funktion als Festungsstadt und Sitz des Kurfürsten erlebte Mainz im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert eine weitere wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Blüte, was zur Folge hatte, daß die Ansprüche und Nachfragen in Kunst und Handwerk stiegen und Mainz zu einem in vielen Bereichen führenden kulturellen Zentrum wurde.

March 1981, lot 4520. In family property until today. The Mainz furniture type "Cantourgen" (a German dialect word, meaning a small office) is the highpoint of German art of furniture in the 18th century and these masterpieces have mostly been manufactured for the local nobility. Quite a lot of design illustrations from the masters of the Mainz carpenters' guild have remained until today, showing the development of this furniture type in the period from 1676 until 1816 (Cf. Fritz Arens, Meisterrisse und Möbel der Mainzer Schreiner, Mainz 1955, plate 53 ff.). Famous Mainz masters were amongst others Anton Ortlauff, Johann Philipp Joseph Alffter, Johann Philipp Raab, Ludwig Escher, Franz Brant, Heinrich Härtig and Johann Valentin Brenner. Some examples of the Cantourgen can still be found in private collections but also in museums like Reiß-Museum (Mannheim), Badisches Landesmuseum (Karlsruhe), Hessisches Landesmuseum (Darmstadt) and Eremitage Museum (St. Petersburg). Rel. Lit. Kreisel/Himmelheber, Die Kunst des deutschen Möbels, Spätbarock und Rokoko, p. 304 ff., fig. 1038-1045, whereby from this examples a bureau from Kilian Bender, c. 1750, and from Johann Philipp Raab, 1766, are most closely to the piece at hand. Cf. also Wolfgang L. Eller, Schreibmöbel 1700-1850, fig. 96-104. Heidrun Zinnkann, Meisterstücke Mainzer Möbel des 18. Jahrhunderts, Fig. X. - The history of the former Free City Mainz (1244-1462) has been shaped by the electorial princes and archbishops until late 18th ct., experienced a cultural and prosperous heyday and became a leading cultural centre.
