A pair of mid-18th century and later south German walnut and fruitwood marquetry inlaid console tables, the shaped tops with Arabesque panels, spandrels and strapwork, fitted shallow drawers to the elaborately shaped friezes, on hexagonal tapering legs inlaid with husks and united by X- stretchers, both bearing labels to the underside 'Balls' (for Balls Park) and one with blue lined label 'Gallery' (the Gallery at Balls Park), the bases believed to be 19th century. 150cm (59in) Provenance: The Trustees of the late 7th Marquess Townshend, Raynham Hall, Fakenham, Norfolk, formerly at Balls Park, Hertfordshire, thence through the marriage of Sir John Harrisons's granddaughter Ethelreda Harrison to Charles, 3rd Viscount Townshend, until1901, when the property was sold and much of the contents removed to Raynham Hall in Norfolk. Balls Park was built by Sir John Harrison, a wealthy financier and customs official, who constructed the house between 1637 and 1640. It is believed that the property was built to the designs of Nicholas Stone, the King's master-mason. The building is designed in the so-called Artisan Mannerist style similar to several other Hertfordshire houses of the same date, but shows purer classical traits which suggest metropolitan influences. Several later phases of remodelling can be traced stylistically to changes initiated by Sir John Harrison's son, Richard Harrison, and his grandson Edward Harrison, who had served in the colonial government of the East India Company. When Edward died in 1732, Balls Park was left to his daughter Audrey (Townshend ) which eventually led to the house passing into the family of the Marquesses Townshend of Raynham in Norfolk, and so became a secondary home, favoured by Lord John Townshend. Balls was in the gift of Audrey and on her death she left it to The Hon Jack Townshend, younger son of the 1st Marquess and the father of Lord John Townshend. It was only because the 3rd Marquess died without issue that the title reverted to Lord John who subsequently became the 4th Marquess. In the 1880s it was let to the Faudel-Phillips family, who purchased it outright in 1901. It is believed that some of the contents of Balls Park went to Raynham during the let years to Faudel-Phillips.Marquetry losses to both, one more than the other.

The present magnificent Art Deco instrument is one of the total of 261 that the company built at its workshops in Chiswick and subsequently at a purpose-built factory at North Acton, London. They were installed in cinemas and theatres throughout the British Isles. In the 1930s the cost was approximately £3,000, representing a major investment but one which was regarded as essential in the era of the silent films where it replaced an orchestra in the pit. It also continued to play an important role with the advent of the talkies where the organist entertained the audience between features. ++This organ was acquired by the father of the present vendor and has been stored for 40 years in a dry barn. Whilst we make no warranty as to its completeness there are several thousand components and although dusty these appear to be in reasonably good condition. Many of the smaller pieces have been left undisturbed, stacked in six wooden crates and still wrapped in newspaper printed in 1972. Some of the decorative glass is missing or damaged and the gold painted console has been affected by woodworm whilst in storage. The purchaser will be required to remove the lot within 14 days of the Sale.
