A George III stained beech open armchair attributed to Gillowsafter a design by James WyattCirca 1786, with a channelled shield shaped back and lotus-leaf clasped downswept arms, above a bowed fluted seat frame flanked by patera block angles, on stiff-leaf wrapped fluted tapering front legs and splayed rear legs, 61cm wide x 56cm deep x 94cm high, (24in wide x 22in deep x 37in high)Footnotes:The present lot is virtually identical in design to two armchairs which formed the core of a small suite of painted seat furniture attributed to Gillows which sold Christie's, London, 18th November 2010, 500 Years: Decorative Arts Europe, lot 160. This French form of 'cabriolet' chair with Roman 'pelta' shield back was introduced in the 1770s and merits comparison to a pattern by the architect James Wyatt (d.1813), as shown in a room elevation in J. Cornforth & J. Fowler, English Decoration in the 18th Century, 1974, p.29, fig.13.Also the offered chair relates closely to a drawing which appears in the Gillows Estimate Sketch Books. Dated 25th October 1786, this was evidently a Gillow's commission for Mr. Robert Peel, Esq., and the leaf carving was attributed to H. Gibson. This design features in both L. Boynton, Gillow Furniture Designs, 1760-1800, 1995, Herts, fig. 267 and S. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol. I, pl.'s 146 and GG80.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A framed collection of locks of hair believed to belong to Maharaja Duleep Singh (1834-1893), Prince Victor Duleep Singh (1866-1918), Prince Frederick Duleep Singh (1868-1926) and Prince Albert Duleep Singh (1879-1893) the four locks of hair within a frame, printed names beneath the frame 49.5 x 64 cm.Footnotes:ProvenanceGiven by Princess Bamba Sutherland to Cyril and Dora Crowe and thence by descent to their daughter Oriel (1942-2019).In 1955, when the Maharajah's eldest daughter Princess Bamba Sutherland embarked on her final journey to Lahore, she gave her faithful housekeeper and personal companion, Cyril & Dora Crowe, various personal possessions relating to her family which she was unable to take with her. The gift included Prince Frederick's set of Purdey shotguns, a large bible presented to the Maharajah Duleep Singh by Lord Dalhousie which is now at Thetford Museum, and a marble bust of the Maharajah by John Gibson (sold in these rooms, Islamic & Indian Art, 19 April 2007, lot 385). Amongst these treasures was a bundle of hair wrapped in an Indian silk cloth which the Princess told the Crowes belonged to her father and brothers. When Dora Crowe died, the bundle of hair was given to her eldest daughter Oriel who was born at Hampton House in Blo' Norton and grew up under the guidance of Princess Sophia and Princess Bamba. Oriel later had a set the Locks framed to hang on the wall of her house as a momento of the family she had been so close to. According to Lady Login, Maharajah Duleep Singh presented his hair to her whilst at Fategarh Cantonment in 1853 when it was cut off following his conversion to Christianity. She wrote in her memoirs, '... after a year's probation, he was suffered to cut it off, he brought the coil, long and abundant as a woman's and presented it to me as a token that he had now done with all it represented' (Lady Login's Recollections, E. Dalhousie Login, London 1916, p.103). A lock of this hair was kept and attached to a scrapbook which Lady Login kept, and which was given to the National Army Museum in London after her death. The Maharajah's sons also kept their hair uncut until they were teenagers. 'Their hair, uncut, hung down their backs. It was the Maharanee's wish that, like the Najanites of old, both little princes would remain so attired until they were 12 years old' (HH Prince Frederick Duleep Singh by Dennis Sutherland, East Anglian Magazine, pp. 434-437, 1977). Before her death Lady Login returned all items in her possession connected to Maharajah Duleep Singh to his children. These included a painting of the Maharajah and all documents and correspondence relating to his claims to the Punjab. This was noted in her Last Will. The hair was eventually passed down to Princess Bamba, the last living member of the Duleep Singh family. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
