Some sections of moulding lacking to the cornice and some small repairs (see images). One section of moulding to the cornice detached but present. Key present and operates lock to doors. A later hook has been applied to the front of the shelf below the central slide to catch the lock bar, as when closed the two doors do not come together flush. The results in the lock becoming 'sticky' when closed and requires some manipulation to open. The strip of moulding to the right hand door is a well matched later addition. It is required to hold the doors closed as the lock bar does not extend across to the catch of the other door. No key present for locks of drawers. Handles and locks appear original. The escutcheons to the doors and the drawers vary from each other. Interior of the upper section would benefit from cleaning as is has mould 'fur' to the sides and sides. Some evidence of old worm to underside and backboards. The backs of the feet with some later supporting blocks and some blocks lacking.

Y A VICTORIAN EBONY AND IVORY INLAID MUSIC CABINETATTRIBUTED TO OWEN JONES, CIRCA 1865The central section with five long vertical divisions for music folios, above a fall-front opening to shelves for sheet music, the shelves with tooled leather edges for Operas, Miscellaneous, Sacred112cm high, 108cm wide, 44.5cm deep Jackson and Graham were one of the leading Victorian cabinet makers of the second half of the nineteenth century and were probably the most important. Their work was of the highest quality, showcasing the most innovative designers of the day and winning many prizes at international exhibitions. Owen Jones and B.J. Talbert designed for the Paris Exhibitions of 1867 and 1878, Jones for the Vienna Exhibition of 1873. Designers at the firm included Alfred Lorimer and Eugene Prinot, Jackson and Graham also made designs by R.W. Edis, C.L. Eastlake and Talbert. Special commissions were undertaken for Queen Victoria, Napoleon III, the Grand Khedive at Cairo and the Royal Palace in Siam. Owen Jones was highly influential in his promotion of formal, stylised pattern, in direct opposition to the popular taste for the flamboyantly naturalistic. Jones also designed entire interiors for important clients, including the connoisseur Alfred Morrison, both at Fonthill and Carlton House Terrace. Amongst Jones's designs for Fonthill was a well documented semi-circular display cabinet in ebony inlaid with ivory for the display of Morrison's collection of Chinese porcelain. The lower door panels of the cabinet all incorporate Morrison's initials in a central ivory inlaid monogram. Jones was also responsible for the decoration and furnishings at The Priory, 21 North Bank, Regent's Park in 1863 for the novelist George Eliot and partner G.H. Lewes. The ivory inlaid monogram incorporating two 'G's to the panel of the present music cabinet bears distinct similarities to the monogram inlaid panels of the display cabinet at Fonthill. It is tempting to speculate that Owen Jones may have designed the present cabinet for George Eliot and G.H.Lewes as part of the new decorative scheme for The Priory, incorporating their first initials in the monogram. Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips and splits. Some small sections of moulding re-stuck and minor old repairs to inlay. Some ivory stringing to the escutcheon lacking. Key present and operates lock. The fabric inlay to the shelves is possibly later. they bear the expected fraying and wear (see images).

A WILLIAM AND MARY WALNUT BOOKCASECIRCA 1690, IN THE PEPYSIAN TASTE203cm high, 117cm wide, 40cm deepThis bookcase is similar in form to the 'Pepys Bookcase' first made by the Master Joiner Thomas Simpson (alias Sympson the Joiner) for the naval administrator and diarist Samuel Pepys to house his vast collection of books at his residence at Seething Lane, London. It is possible that Pepys himself had a hand in the design of the original bookcase.Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions comensurate with age and use. Old chips and splits, some old repairs. Some replaced veneers. This appears mainly only in small sections to the borders of the door fronts and in a small number of small sections to the side panels. Historic sun fading to the front of the bookcase prompted some simulated figuring with a dark stain/ varnish to the moulding around the glass panels and some other areas, probably during the 19th century. This has been used in some areas of the frames of the doors and to the outer banding of the right hand side panel where sun fading is apparent (see additional images)The glass is later replaced but appears hand bevelled so has age.The door lock is an 18th century replacement. The key is present. The brass escutcheons are also likely 18th century additions/ replacements. Some additional old holes adjacent to the current escutcheons indicate where previous escutcheons and possibly a small pull/ ring handle has previously been positioned. The door hinges are high quality replacements, probably 19th or early 20thc in dateThere are a total of 8 adjustable shelves. The shelf at the centre of each of the two interior sections are fixed and integral to the original interior frame of the bookcase. The shelves appear original as do the rear panels. The feet appear to have significant age and appear to engage the original holes for the feet. We cannot guarantee without a doubt that the feet are entirely original. Please refer to all additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer
