A PAIR OF 18TH CENTURY STYLE FRENCH SILVER ECUELLES AND COVERS probably 19th century, with Paris discharge mark, further marked U crowned, maker's mark P.P, the body with lobed stripes filled with repoussé decoration of flowers, with scrolling handles, with a rose finial, the base and inside of the tureen engraved 'Biddulph', 29cm across handles, 2,120gms / 68.15oz (2) Condition Report:I have tested one ecuelle and the acid shows an amberish red - it would lean towards 800 standard. There is a scribe line just below the rims - they are in good condition with minor interior and exterior surface scratches, though the workmanship is quite crude, the repousse work may have been later or the ecuelles are possibly 19th century done in the early 18th century style

A William IV or early Victorian 'Antiquarian' yew wood centre table of large proportions1830-1845, possibly after a design by Thomas WillementThe circular segmented radiating veneered top with a twin ebony and boxwood strung border and an ogee moulded edge, on three spiral twist turned columnar supports, the concave tripartite base carved with a gadrooned edge and surmounted to the centre by an egg-and-leaf moulded baluster urn finial, terminating in hipped scrolled acanthus, beaded and foliate carved S-scroll form feet with recessed ceramic castors, approximate diameter of the top: 162cm; approximate height: 73.5cm.Footnotes:An early Victorian walnut and ash centre table attributed to Thomas Willement (1786-1871), which is of similar design to the offered lot and has closely comparable spiral twist turned legs, sold The Pedestal, 24 April 2018, Fine Furniture and Objects, lot 199. Willement is renowned for his furniture, wallpaper, panelling and stained glass designs which were directly influenced by the medieval and English Renaissance periods. Another related table, also attributed to Willement, albeit one of rectangular outline, appears illustrated in Signed and Designed II, the Origin of Ornament, the Country Seat catalogue, p.2. In this Country Seat catalogue it is noted that this 'Antiquarian' style (or perhaps more accurately movement) arguably found most favour at two specific English country houses during the mid 19th century. These are Charlecote, Warwickshire, where Willement was employed for a time, and Mamhead, in Devon. For more information on the origins of this style one must refer to O. Jones, 'Grammar of Ornament', Elizabethan No. 1, pl. LXXXIII, along with the text written by J.B. Waring which accompanies it.Another major figure closely associated with 'Antiquarianism', and who worked during the same period of 1830-1850 was Richard Bridgens (1785-1846). Furthermore, a burr elm and elm oval table with a marquetry top, which is defined as being 'in the manner of Bridgens' and has almost identical large scale spiral twist turned legs, sold Christie's, London, 7 May 2008, Fasque: the Scottish Seat of the Gladstones, lot 138.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

We cannot warrant that this is in working order. Sold with winding key. The trunk and case has in places loss of veneer. There is a split to the central door that runs from the top to the bottom. There are also other areas of repair around the top of the door. The plinth base also has a split in the wood that runs from the top to the bottom. It has an all over distressed look.
