A work table 'Globus Nahtischen' Vienna circa 1835 mahogany ebonised banding bone and gilt-bronze mounted the globe shaped body with an ebonised equator enclosing a fitted interior on outward curved splayed legs surmounted by female terms and with claw endings joined by a galleried undertier on a concave sided tripartite base h. 95cm diam. 42cm Literature G. Himmelheber Biedermeier Mobel London 1973 ill. 13. M. Jourdain Regency Furniture London 1965 p. 71. H. Kreisel Die Kunst des Deutschen Mobels Munchen 1986 p. 95 and ill. IV. These globe-shaped worktables with interpenetrating hemi-spheres and fitted interior illustrate a very high degree of mastery and are extremely rare. Frederich Paulick executed a design for a similar table in Carl Schmidt's drawing school in Vienna circa 1825 which is illustrated in H. Ottomeyer Zopf- und Biedermeier Mobel. Katalog der Mobelsammlung des Munchner Stadtmuseums Munchen 1991 p. 17 ill. 8. Interestingly these treasures of the Austrian Biedermeier era derive from the patented 1806 designs for globe writing tables by the London cabinet-maker George Remington which were subsequently produced by the celebrated firm of Morgan & Sanders. Several examples are also illustrated by Prof. Rainer Haaf in Das Suddeutsche Biedermeier Hamburg 1991 p. 293 ill. 616-619.

Colonel Shaw, 122nd Regiment, Poole, giving permission for two officers to attend a trial in Dublin Very little is known about John Stratford's Regiment which was formed in 1794 and disbanded in 1796. John Stratford, 3rd Earl of Aldborough, was born between 1742 and 1745 and died in 1823 in Belan, County Kildare, Ireland. He held the office of M.P. for Baltinglass between 1763 and 1776; M.P. for County Wicklow between 1776 and 1790; and M.P. for Baltinglass between 1790 and 1800. He held the office of a Governor of County Wicklow in 1795. He gained the title of 3rd Earl of Aldborough, of the Palatinate of Upper Ormond on 2 January 1801, and succeeded to the title of 3rd Viscount Aldborough, of Belan, co. Kildare, 3rd Baron of Baltinglass, co. Wicklow and 3rd Viscount Amiens on the death of his older brother in 1801. Following the decade with the American Revolution the British Army was very depleted, but wary of Revolutionary France and a volatile Ireland, new Regiments were created for deployment around the globe. What specific battles this short-lived Irish Regiment was deployed in is not known. (3)
