A George III mahogany serpentine commode, attributed to Henry Hill, Marlborough, circa 1770 in the French taste with serpentine corners and three long drawers, the top drawer fitted with a baize lined brushing slide and provision for a mirror (missing), open compartments and four lidded small compartments, the base with scallop waved apron, the top with crossbanded and line inlaid border decoration to flame figured veneers, repeated to the drawer fronts, with cast ormolu handles and the corners mounted with ormolu foliate shutes tailing to scroll cast sabots 85 x 128 x 65cm (33 x 50 x 25in) Provenance: A gift to Murray Edwards College from Dame Rosemary Murray, one of the founders and first President of New Hall, Cambridge, known today as Murray Edwards College. Noted in the College's list of donations as "Chippendale serpentine chest of drawers (Mrs C Dodgson)". Frances Catherine Spooner Dodgson (1883 - 1954) was Dame Rosemary's aunt and daughter of William Archibald Spooner, Warden of New College Oxford, best known for the 'Spoonerism'. She was an artist and married Campbell Dodgson, a distant cousin of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll author of Alice in Wonderland. Campbell Dodgson was Keeper of Prints at the British Museum from 1912 -1932 and at his death in 1949 bequeathed over 5,000 prints to the museum. Literature: Henry Hill was active in Marlborough Wiltshire from c1740 until his death in 1778 where he ran a diverse business encompassing furniture making, coach making, house agency and auctioneering. He was described in his obituary in 1778 as 'one of the most eminent cabinet makers and upholsterers in the Kingdom' which was considered a great tribute to a cabinet maker working outside London. His clients were predominately Wiltshire landowners including the 9th Duke of Somerset at Maiden Bradley, Paul Methuen at Corsham Court, Henry Hoare at Stourhead, and the Earl Bathurst at Cirencester Park. Hill was clearly aware of the prevailing London fashions and would have had access to publications including Chippendale's designs for French Commode Tables (The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director 1st Edition1754; Plate LXVI 3rd Edition 1763). He was also known to have employed immigrant labour (most likely German). All this is reflected in the designs of his furniture. His French Commodes were made with a number of variations dependent on his clients' needs and budgets but invariably of serpentine form with flame figured veneers or marquetry, ormolu mounted corners and a lobed front apron. The most documented commissions were for Lord Delaval (see bombe marquetry commode sold Bonhams London 19 October, 2011). It seems likely that Hill had contact with Pierre Langlois with some of the mounts on his commodes being attributed to Langlois. The French Commodes were sometimes fitted with dressing slides (see Duke of Somerset commode reference below) whilst the present commode has the top drawer designed with a series of boxes and compartments for brushes, powder boxes etc. The closest example to this present commode with serpentine front and straight sides sold at Christies November 28, 2002, Lot 120 (provenance the Duke of Somerset). In contrast to this commode with its dressing slide see George III gilt brass mounted mahogany and goncalo alves Commode with top drawer originally fitted for dressing with divisions (Sothebys, April 21 2009, Lot 84). See The Lady Lever Art Gallery, Catalogue of Commodes, 1994, Lucy Wood for further discussion on characteristics of Henry Hill commodes. Original country house condition, evidence of an old repair to a small section of banding running along the back of the top, small veneer losses to the carcase at the drawer division joints and between the drawers, a broken key remains in the lock of the second drawer, dulled mounts, but present and lacking the mirror to the fitted drawer. The back is panelled.

THESAURUS NOVUS THEOLOGICO-PHILOLOGICUS 'Sive sylloge dissertationum exedeticarum ad selectiora atque insigniora veteris et novi instrumenti loca; a theologis protesetantibus', the first of two volumes published by Apud Theodorum Haak, Leiden 1732, edited by Theodor Hase and Conrad Iken, one full-page engraved plate, folio, bound in embossed vellum, structure still sound, light soiling and use to binding, some sections of text age-toned, 39.5cm high Note: Critici sacri was a compilation of Latin biblical commentaries published in London from 1660, edited by John Pearson. The work appeared in nine volumes, and collected numerous authors, both Protestant and Catholic, of early modern critical work on the Bible setting off a series of subsequent related publications. The original work, while influential was not a connected Bible commentary, and was found to be long-winded, as well as scanty in other parts. Later publications attempted to address these shortcomings. An expanded edition was produced in Amsterdam from 1698 by a Dutch editorial group with two further supplementary volumes published in Amsterdam in 1701. These were followed up in 1732 by two further volumes of the Thesaurus novus theologico-philologicus, these were edited by Theodor Hase and Conrad Iken. This book is the first of these two volumes.

THE RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES AND CUSTOMS OF THE SEVERAL NATIONS OF THE KNOWN WORLD, VOLUMES 1-7PICART, Bernard (German, 1673-1733), The Religious Ceremonies and Customs of the Several Nations of the Known World. Represented in a Hundred Copper-Plates, designed by the famous Picart. Together with historical explanations, and several curious dissertations....

First English edition. 225 plates by Bernard Picart on separate pages (some folding). Titles printed in red and black with engraved vignettes.LOT NOTES:Bernard Picart presented to the reader various Catholic and Protestant ceremonies on par with religious rites of the followers of Confucius and Buddhists from China and Japan, Indian Fire-worshipers and Yogi, South American Pagan Indians, and Christian Orthodox sacramentals, as well as aboriginal Shaman spells of Siberia and Canada. He described a wide variety of religious ceremonies that conduct a person throughout life: in birth, marriage, sacrifice, sortilege, and funeral. A separate chapter was dedicated to the Court of the Inquisition. The issue is a valuable historic source that reveals religious and everyday life of the West European Jews in the 17-18 Centuries. Picart's publication had great success thanks to his general religious tolerance and objective judgment.LITERATURE: P.

1930 Austin 7 Swallow. Reg. no. PG 7630. Chassis no. B7960. Engine no. Unknown. In 1927, William Lyons, co-founder of the Swallow Sidecar Company, saw the commercial potential of producing a re-bodied Austin 7. He bought a chassis from dealer Parkers of Bolton Lyons and then commissioned Swallow’s talented employee, coachbuilder Cyril Holland, to produce a distinctive open tourer, the Austin 7 Swallow. With its bright two -tone colour scheme and a style befitting more expensive cars of the time, together with its low cost (£175), the Swallow proved popular and was followed in 1928 by a saloon version, the Austin Seven Swallow Saloon. Approximately 3,500 bodies of various styles were produced up until 1932, when Lyons started making complete cars under the SS brand. Such was the demand for the Austin Seven Swallows that Lyons was forced to move in 1928 from Blackpool to new premises in Coventry. It was, in part, the success of the Swallows that laid the foundations of what was to become, by 1945, Jaguar Cars.. This is the 17th oldest Mark I Austin Seven Swallow Saloon of the 30 known to the Swallow Register and it was first registered on the 26th March 1930. It has been extensively restored over many years, all of which has been carefully documented, becoming the main feature of a recent edition of The Automobile. The car was purchased by its previous owner in 1963 in a dilapidated condition and over a number of years a great deal of expenditure was lavished on the car; however the restoration received a major setback when the owner became ill in recent years. A family friend, the current owner, took on the final stages of the restoration and the result is a magnificent example of this instantly recognisable motor car. After 50 years of being out of circulation, this Swallow is now back on the road and it has been lightly used. The owner recommends gentle driving initially which is quite normal following a long term restoration. The Swallow’s new owner will now benefit from the many years of hard work.. It is sold with a folder containing a large quantity of bills supporting the work carried out; in addition there is an insurance valuation from the Austin Seven Owners Club for £24,500, a current V5c, an old buff logbook and various photographs supporting the various stages of the restoration.
