A DIRECTOIRE BRASS MOUNTED MAHOGANY COMMODE BY CHARLES SAUNIER, LATE 18TH CENTURY With a white mottled marble top above three drawers flanked by fluted columns on turned tapering legs, stamped C.C.SAUNIER 91cm high, 132cm wide, 56cm deepClaude-Charles Saunier, maître in 1752 Descending from a family of ébénistes, Saunier received his maîtrise in 1752 and worked in the atelier of his father, Jean-Charles, in 1757, which was located in the rue Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Claude-Charles briefly continued to work in the Louis XV style but then rapidly adopted the Neoclassic designs of the transitional and Louis XVI periods for which he is now renowned. Saunier's success was not confined to France and his reputation reached London through his work for the marchand-mercier Dominique Daguerre. Condition Report: Good, structurally secure with wear and tear consistent with age and use. The marble top apparently original with just a few small edge chips. Slightly faded overall, the surfaces have a mellowed colour and good patina, the brass edging to drawers with well burnished surfaces, there are odd small breaks to the brass. Minor scratches and scuffing throughout. Condition Report Disclaimer

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY 'GOTHICK' OPEN ARMCHAIR CIRCA 1760 AND LATER With a shaped top rail and pierced arcaded splat above a gros-point needlework seat 90cm high, 66cm wide, 53cm deep The chair is likely part of a long suite long-since dispersed and now with examples in at least three collections managed by the National Trust. While the early history of the chairs is not known, six side chairs were at Saltram House, Devon by 1951, and were accepted in lieu of death duties from the Executors of Edmund Robert Parker (d.1951), 4th Earl of Morley. A pair of armchairs is at Stourhead, Wiltshire (one was photographed by Country Life, undated but likely early 19th century, this chair lacking the gothic tracery to the arms) and a further armchair is at Attingham Park, Shropshire. The pattern appears to have been made without stretchers but likely with curved brackets (as in the case of the Saltram chairs). Condition Report: Generally good, structurally secure with wear and tear consistent with age and use. There are dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks, and subsequent repairs and alterations. Sone shrinkage cracks and repairs in the chair back. There is an exposed screw head in the right arm terminal. The front legs, front seat rail, brackets and stretcher all apparently replaced. There are shadows on the back seat rail indicating there was a hinged panel suggesting that the chair was converted to, and re-converted from a commode chair (which might also explain the extensive alterations to legs and seat rail). Some old worm in the carcase timbers (visible on the underside), but otherwise in sturdy and usable condition. The needlework seat with old damages.Condition Report Disclaimer
