A Louis XV walnut and marble mounted commode , circa 1750, the rectangular variegated red marble top with rounded corners and shaped edge, above two long graduated drawers with moulded fronts and flanking carved foliate decoration leading to cabriole legs and stylised hoof feet, 84cm high, 127cm wide, 72cm deep
A George III marquetry work table , circa 1760 and later , in the manner of Pierre Langlois , the serpentine shaped hinged top inlaid with with a wreath and bow motif opening to a fitted teapoy interior above conforming frieze, and cabriole supports united by a breakfront undertier, the whole on brass caps and castors, 66cm high, 51cm wide, 39cm deep Provenance: Private Collection, Oxfordshire The design of this work table reflects the French fashion promoted from the 1750s by the Tottenham Court Road ebeniste or cabinet-maker Pierre Langlois (d. 1767). The bold use of swags of marquetry bellflowers alongside exotic timbers also demonstrates similarities to the work of John Cobb. Thomas Chippendale supplied a related table, veneered in tulip and rose woods, for Nostell Priory, Yorkshire and invoiced it in 1766 as: A Lady s commode writing table made of tulip and rosewood with a slider cover d with Green Cloth 5.14.0 (C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale London, 1978, fig.436).
A George III mahogany, rosewood and goncalo alves serpentine desk, circa 1770, the tooled leather inset above an arrangement of nine drawers around the recessed kneehole cupboard, the rear panel quarter veneered and decorated with foliate marquetry, on outswept tapering legs and sabots at the front, 73cm high, 122cm wide, 57cm deep Provenance: A deceased estate, Kent This desk relates to a dressing commode attributed to Henry Hill of Marlborough. See Lucy Wood, Catalogue of Commodes , The Lady Lever Art Gallery, 1994, No.4, pages 64-73. The overall design, mounts, style of marquetry and use of exotic timbers of the commode all bear relation to the current desk. The fine marquetry motifs used to the rear panel of the current desk also bear similarity in treatment to those decorating the corners of the side panels of the commode in Wood s book. See also a related pair of commodes (No.15) pages 154-160 Designed in an elegant George III picturesque fashion, this desk and many related pieces evolved from French Commode Table patterns such as appeared in Thomas Chippendale s, The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker s Director , 1754 (pls. XLIII and XLV). Henry Hill of Marlborough was active from 1740 until his death in 1778 and was based in the town of Marlborough in Wiltshire. Henry Hill established himself not only as a cabinetmaker, but also a coach-maker, an auctioneer, an estate agent and an insurance company representative. He had a large client list which included members of the aristocracy such as the Duke of Somerset at Maiden Bradley, the Earl of Radnor at Longford Castle and Lord Methuen at Corsham Court, Wiltshire.

Eccezionale coppia di angoliere, Pierre Macret (1727-1796), Parigi, dopo il 1758 cm 92x66x50 D’epoca Luigi XV, in lacca nera e decorazione a chinoiseries in oro, impreziosite da una ricca guarnitura di bronzi coevi, dorati e finemente cesellati, eseguiti espressamente per questi mobili, applicati sul fronte ad incorniciare le scene, sugli spigoli e nella grembialatura centrale. Pianetti sagomati in marmo. Entrambe recano, nella parte superiore della struttura, la stampigliatura di Macret, importante ebanista e commerciante di mobili, in puro stile Luigi XV, moltissimi dei quali decorati, come le due angoliere in oggetto, in lacca nera e chinoiseries in oro. Iniziò la sua carriera come lavorante di Jean Pierre Latz, poi nel 1756 fu nominato marchand ébéniste privilégié du Roi suivant de la Cour, dal 1758, ammesso alla Jurande des maitres ébenoistes, iniziò a stampigliare le opere, fino al 1787, anno in cui cessò l’attività. Aveva bottega in rue Saint Honoré nei pressi della chiesa di San Rocco, di fronte al passaggio dell’Académie de Musique. Dal 1765 al 1771 fornì numerosi mobili per la Corte, tra cui una commode per la Dauphine Maria Antonietta, ora a Versailles, altri arredi per la Maria Giuseppina di Sassonia e per il Marchese di Marigny. Tra le sue opere più belle è una scrivania diplomatica in lacca rossa con figure dorate cinesi, ora al Boston Museum of Fine Arts. I bronzi che ornano i mobili di Macret venivano normalmente fusi e cesellati dal bronzista Philippe Pajot che dal 1761 aveva bottega nello stesso edificio di Macret. Le due angoliere sono state restaurate nel 2013 nel laboratorio Ceregato a Torino. Una coppia di angoliere simile a queste è stata venduta dalla Sotheby’s di Londra il 19 novembre 2002.
