* Gillray (James). Pandora opening her Box, H. Humphrey, Feby. 22nd 1809, etched caricature with bright contermpory hand-colouring, slight adhesion marks to verso, two very small repairs to the lower corners, 360 x 260 mmQTY: (1)NOTE:Mrs. Mary Ann Clarke (the mistress of Frederick the Duke of York) stands behind the bar of the House of Commons holding up a flower-pot-shaped vessel (the pan of a commode) inscribed Opposition Stink Box. In her right hand she holds up its lid with the legend, 'Cover of Infamy'. Not satisfied with being supported as the prince's mistress, Mrs. Clarke supplemented their income by selling military commissions and ecclesisastical preferments to place-seekers, using her influence with Frederick to make sure they happened. In May of 1806, because of her general and seemingly careless extravagance, the Prince broke off relations with her, buying her silence (at least temporarily) by settling an annual pension of £400 on her until 1808. But when he failed to renew the pension, she threatened, and ultimately made good on her threat, to lift the lid on their relationship, correspondence, and transactions. Her insinuations (bolstered by the assertion of Captain Denis Hogan that he had been passed over for a promotion because he refused to meet Mrs. Clarke's demands) provoked a full Parliamentary investigation, led by a radical MP, Gwyllym Lloyd Wardle, ostensibly in the name of military reform. Mrs. Clarke herself testified as part of the proceedings. In the end, there were no real winners. The reputation of the Duke was significantly tarnished and he was forced to resign his position as head of the army. Wardle's credibility as a disinterseted reformer was severely compromised when it was revealed that he was also Mrs. Clarke's lover, and Mrs Clarke herself was tried and convicted in 1813 for libel.

A DUTCH WALNUT AND FLORAL MARQUETRY SERPENTINE COMMODE CIRCA 1780 With a rouge griotte marble top 85cm high, 110cm wide, 57cm deepProvenance: The Wodehouse, near Womborne, Staffordshire The Wodehouse, is a grade II* listed country house. The estate has existed since medieval times and is recorded from the 13th century. It came into possession of the Hellier family in 1708 and for over 900 years it has never been sold, the current owners having inherited the house by marriage. It became notable as the family seat of the Georgian landscape designer and musicologist Sir Samuel Hellier, who created the core of an important collection of musical instruments and literature. For over 200 years, the Hellier family was also in possession of what would become known as the Hellier Stradivarius, one of the best-preserved violins made by Antonio Stradivari of Cremona around 1679, and is now in the care of the Stradivari Foundation in Cremona. Please refer to our website for further background history regarding The Wodehouse and the collection gathered there.
Y A GEORGE III SATINWOOD, MARQUETRY AND PAINTED SERPENTINE FRONTED COMMODEIN THE MANNER OF INCE & MAYHEW, CIRCA 178092.5cm high, 143cm wide, 61cm deepThe distinctive and heavily engraved neoclassical marquetry combined with the use of satinwood, sycamore and pear is characteristic of Mayhew and Ince's work.For commodes with related features see Lucy Wood, The Lady Lever Art Gallery Catalogue of Commodes, HMSO Publications, 1994, p128-129, pl 125, Lucy Wood refers to 'a distinctive group of marquetry furniture ... which is characterised by the use and disposition of highly figured veneers, especially harewood and the most unusual watered ash'. Whilst this lot being offered is satinwood, rather than ash, the veneers to the doors are unusually cut in the manner of Hungarian ash to give the distinctive grain figuring 'like watered silk'.For related 'back to back' leaf scrolls and husk marquetry see ibid p231, pl 220, a pair of corner cupboards, Badminton House, Gloucestershire.Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and useSome chips and splits, some minor losses to veneers.Some historic repairs and leg repairs incorporating some elements of later timber. visible cracks to the front leg veneers. One back leg with a clean split through it requiring re-gluing. (see images)With attractive figuring of the satinwood and of pronounced serpentine form. Good colour and patina overall. The top being lighter in colour as most often seen.The mounts complete and attached. One short mount section loose at one end. Minor evidence of old worm, including to the legs and backboard.Some minor lifting to veneers in areas throughout and expected cracking and minor loss to the corresponding painted decoration (see images)The central leg is a later replacement, there is clear evidence of an older/original leg positioned on the central timber block to the underside.. The later central leg has been applied to provide stability to the carcass, though there is still some movement or 'rocking' to the commode. This central leg has been fixed and glued from within the lower board. A later timber section has been attached to the backboard, this was most likely for affixing the commode to a wall when in situ to secure and could easily be removed.Lock is open, key is lacking.The right door does not sit entirely flush when closed, with a tapering gap appearing towards the base due to expected shrinkage over time. The lock escutcheons are not exactly level when the doors are closed due to the relatively minor movement of the doors. The previous catch fixed to the inside of the right door does not engage.Later glued down blue baize to the top surfaces of the interior shelves. Some screws to the door hinges vary in date and size. The expected shrinkage cracks/gaps along the lines of underling construction, evidenced by lifting and cracks to veneers. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition.
