Lot 310
An 18th century Italian walnut Renaissance style desk box, the hinged lid with sliding centre with central Heraldic crest, opening to reveal and un-fitted interior raised on four claw feet, overall decorated with beaded and dot and line mouldings along with classical scrolls and leaves, 45cm wide, 23cm high, 32cm deepNOTE: By descent the box originally purchased by Henry Francis Lyte the poet and well known hymn writer, 1793-1847 who married Anne Maxwell in 1817 and was farther to Farnham Maxwell-Lyte and grandfather to Sir Henry Churchill Maxwell-Lyte. Henry Francis Lyte's best known work is noted in Oxford Dictionary of Nation Biography that although Lyte's poetic energies were directed at scripturally and evangelically minded audiences his lyric gift was universally appreciated. The example of 'Abide with Me' is instructive intensely personal and contemplative yet nationally popular especially after being combined with W H Monk's tune 'Eventide' now sung at National Sporting Events including the English Cup Final
