A rare and documented pair of Charles II joined oak forms or benches, circa 1674Each having a single-board top with square-rounded edge and applied under-edge moulding, the plain rails with applied lower edge moulding, on eight elegant baluster-turned legs, joined by capped stretchers all round, on turned feet, 315.5cm wide x 27.5cm deep x 56cm high, (124in wide x 10 1/2in deep x 22in high) (2)Footnotes:Provenance:The Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers, usually known as the Stationers' Company, London. Formed in 1403 and received a royal charter in 1557.An identical bench, but slightly shorter with six-legs, in the Stationers' Company Collection bears a brass label reading 'This bench was one of those supplied in 1674 by Mr. Coffen for use with the refectory tables, also still in the hall'. The Stationers' Company has occupied halls on three sites in the course of its History. In 1606 it moved to its present location when it purchased Abergavenny House from the widow of the Earl of Pembroke, and in 1611 it acquired the freehold. It was burnt down in the Great Fire of London of 1666 and replaced by the present hall on the same site between 1670 and 1673. The beautiful wooden screen on the south side is the work of Henry Ford – who charged the company £732 for woodwork (excluding the panelling) who may also have made the tables and benches still in use. The wainscoting was finished two years later by Stephen Colledge, known as the Protestant joiner on account of an anti-royalist pamphlet for which he was hanged at Oxford in 1681. 'Mr Coffen' has not been identified. The benches are shown furnishing Stationers' Hall in a lithograph by Thomas Robert Way (1861-1913) printed in Philip Norman's The Ancient Halls of the City Guilds (1901). One of the tables is illustrated in F. Litchfield, Illustrated History of Furniture: From the Earliest to the Present Time (1893).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
