THE ADLINGTON HALL OAK SIDEBOARD A VICTORIAN OAK 'JACOBEAN' SIDEBOARD CIRCA 1860 The shaped gallery centred by an armorial device and motto 'DA.GLORIAM.DEO', flanked by shaped shelves with strapwork and fleur-de-lys backs and supported by seated lions, the pot-board with a boldly carved cabochon and foliate border, the pedestals with panelled doors centred by satyr masks and with semi-robed bearded herms to the angles, on plinth bases. 176cm high, 306cm wide, 108cm deepProvenance: Probably acquired by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88) for Adlington Hall, Cheshire, possibly as part of a refurbishment of the mansion, and thence by descent. Literature: Adlington Guide Book: 'The large Jacobean sideboard was made from oak grown in Adlington Park.'Oak Jacobean sideboard with superstructure centred by an armorial device 'da gloriam deo' and flanked by outset platforms supported on rampant lions holding shields. Features include boldly carved cabochon borders above pedestal cupboards with outset corbel figures and a conforming wine cooler' The present lot was probably acquired for Adlington Hall by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88), Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of Cheshire. He inherited Adlington in 1829 as a descendant of a cadet branch of the Legh family, and through the female line; the direct male line having ended in 1781 with the death of Charles Legh of Adlington (1697-1781). In 1846, Mr. Legh married Mary Jane Arabella Wright, a daughter of the Rev. Henry Wright of Mottram Hall, Cheshire, hence the central armorial including the Wright Family. According to his obituary in 1888, immediately before his marriage in 1846, a member of the family, Colonel Charles Crosse Legh, had sold by auction the valuable library of books, many family portraits and 'other objects forming the chief contents' from Adlington (The Advertiser, 2 March 1888, p. 5). This may explain why there is a proliferation of mid-late 19th-century antiquarian furniture at Adlington. Charles Richard Banastre Legh does not appear to have maintained a London house, preferring to remain at Adlington as a traditional Cheshire squire where he was highly esteemed as a landlord by his tenants. The design for the sideboard was possibly inspired by the Kenilworth sideboard exhibited by Cooke & Sons of Warwick at the 1851 Great Exhibition. The sideboard, now at Warwick Castle, was made from a fallen Kenilworth oak tree. The extravagant carvings depict scenes from the novel, Kenilworth, by Sir Walter Scott, first published in 1821. The upper section is decorated with the coronet, arms and emblems of the Earls of Warwick (R.W. Symonds, Victorian Furniture, reprinted London, 1987, pl. 26). This historicist style remained fashionable; another comparable sideboard was exhibited by Levien of London at the 1862 International Exhibition, London (illustrated in The Art Journal illustrated catalogue of the International Exhibition, 1862, p. 36); this sideboard while still adhering to the horizontal lines of the Kenilworth sideboard incorporated a rich addition of Renaissance motifs, which helped to make the older framework more stylish (K. Ames, 'The Battle of the Sideboards', Winterthur Portfolio, vol. 9 (1974), pp. 8, fig. 8; p. 10, fig. 11). Earlier, in 1838, Richard Bridgens included a sideboard and wine cellaret 'in the Elizabethan style' from Aston Hall, Warwickshire, illustrated in Furniture with Candelabra and Interior Decoration, plates 28, 30.  Condition Report: The plank top opening at joints, split to right hand end panel. Split to the moulding on the left hand side. Left hand pedestal opening of the joint on the base below the right hand corner. Splits to panel on left hand carboard door. Overall, the condition is good and commensurate with its age and use. Condition Report Disclaimer

THOMAS HUDSON (BRTISH 1701-1779) PORTRAIT OF CHARLES LEGH; AND HIS WIFE HESTER Oil on canvas, a pair 124.5 x 99cm (49 x 38¾ in.) (2) Provenance: Probably commissioned by the sitter for Adlington Hall, and thence by descent Literature: Adlington Guide Book: 'The Dining Room'. This pair of portraits were presumably commissioned by the sitters to proclaim their status, joint fortunes and influence on the fabric of Adlington Hall. Charles Legh (1697-1781) was the son and heir of John Legh (1668-1739) and Lady Isabella Robartes, sister of the 2nd Earl of Radnor. He married his wife, Hester (née Lee), in around 1730. Hester was the daughter of Robert Lee and through him inherited an estate at Wincham. Charles Legh perhaps made the most extensive and fashionable improvements to Adlington Hall and its parkland. Evidently, he valued the historical part of his house ensuring that the older areas were incorporated into his new scheme. He created a new west wing comprising a principal staircase, dining-room, drawing-room, library and ball-room, completed in around 1749. The south front has a pediment frieze above the tall portico entrance with its four Ionic columns, and is inscribed 'Charles and Hester Legh 1757'. Charles Legh was also responsible for creating the stables, although there is no record of him having employed an architect for any of the architectural works at Adlington. It seems likely that he designed the additions himself, and used local builders and materials to implement his designs. Charles Legh was a friend of Handel, who is said to have visited Adlington Hall to play on the magnificent organ in the Great Hall, which was probably installed during the tenure of Charles' father, John, when he inherited Adlington in 1696. Charles Legh's only son, Thomas Legh (1735-75), predeceased him, and when he himself died in 1781, the male line of the family became extinct, and the inheritance descended through the female line to his niece Elizabeth Rowlls, nee Davenport, who upon her inheritance took the name Legh. Condition Report: The Gentleman: The canvas is relined and presents a subtle craquelure across the whole surface. UV light reveals a few retouches on the white dress at the height of the chest, as well as a few dotted retouches on the on the sitter's left cheek and forehead - such retouches, however, a very minor. In addition, UV light reveals some infilling of the craquelure to the left of the sitter, and a heavy varnish unenvied applied in wide brush strokes. Further restoration is alp present on the background curtain. To conclude, various superficial damages are visible to the border of the painting, as well as a few dotted losses of paint in the background. The Lady: The canvas is relined and presents a visible craquelure across the whole surface. A few dotted losses of paint caused by the craquelure are present to the lower left corner and lower right. UV light reveals various infills of the craquelure at the height of bust, as well as a curved shaped retouch to the right of the lady's visage, which travels the length of the cheek. To conclude, various scattered retouches are visible near the bottom border, as well as damages to the edges. Condition Report Disclaimer

FOLLOWER OF SIR GODFREY KNELLER PORTRAIT OF LADY ESSEX ROBARTES, HOLDING A BASKET OF FLOWERS ON A LEDGE Oil on canvas 124.5 x 100.5cm (49 x 39½ in.) In a carved and gilded frame Provenance: Possibly commissioned by John Robartes, 1st Earl of Radnor for Llanhydrock, Cornwall Inherited by Lady Isabella Legh, nee Robartes or Charles Legh Thence by descent at Adlington Hall Literature: Adlington Guide Book: 'The Drawing Room'. Lady Essex Robartes (unknown-1727), was the sister of Lady Isabella Legh née Robartes (1674-1725) and Charles Bodvile Robartes, 2nd Earl of Radnor (1653-1723), and the daughter of Robert Robartes, Viscount Bodmin (1634-82), and Sarah Bodvile, later Countess of Radnor (1640-1720). She appears to have been unmarried. It is possible that the present portrait was commissioned by the sitter's father as a series of portraits depicting his daughters or children. It most likely entered the Legh collection following the marriage of Lady Isabella Robartes (1674-1725) to John Legh of Adlington Hall in 1693. Alternatively, it is conceivable that it could have been retained at Llanhyrdrock but later gifted to, or purchased by, the Legh family upon the death of their cousin, the 3rd Earl of Radnor, in 1741 when the Radnor title and Llanhydrock were separated: the title succeeded by distant cousin and the house, believe by antiquarian John Loveday to be in a sorry state, bequeathed to a nephew. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined and re-varnished. Craquelure throughout however the paint surface appears stable. Stretcher marks visible in a raking light. There is a small area of what appears to be scuffing at the upper left edge (approx. 3cm) - this is visible in catalogue and online images. Inspection under UV light reveals scattered retouching and infilling throughout, as well as a green, patchy, masking varnish. Condition Report Disclaimer

FOLLOWER OF SIR GODFREY KNELLER PORTRAIT OF LADY ISABELLA LEGH Oil on canvas Later inscribed with identifying inscription (verso) 121 x 99cm (47½ x 38¾ in.) Provenance: Probably commissioned by the sitter's husband, John Legh, and thence by decent at Adlington Hall Literature: 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire: The Seat of Mr. A.M.R. Legh', Country Life, 29 July 1905, p. 130, 'The Drawing-Room'.Adlington Guide Book: 'The Drawing Room'. G. Nares, 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire - III: The home of Mrs. Legh', Country Life, 12 December 1952, p. 1960, fig. 2 'The mid-Georgian staircase in the West front. Lady Isabella Legh, née Robartes (1674-1725), was the daughter of Robert Robartes, Viscount Bodmin (1634-82), and Sarah Bodvile (1640-1720). She was born in 1674 at Lanhydrock House, Cornwall. On 18 July 1693, she married John Legh Esq. of Adlington Hall (1688-1739) with whom she had two children, Lucy Frances Legh (1695-1728) and Charles Legh (1697-1781). Both Lady Isabella and her husband were interested in music, and it is probable that the organ in the Great Hall was a gift to her from him shortly after they arrived in Adlington. Stylistically, the organ case can be dated around 1700, and it is surmounted by a coat of arms celebrating the marriage of Lady Isabella and John.  

AN ELIZABETHAN REVIVAL OAK HALF-TESTER BED CIRCA 1860 The tester with an urn finial and boldly carved strapwork apron, pendants and brackets above a panel of modern Flemish tapestry and a four panel headboard with foliate and strapwork cresting and centred by a winged mask, the footboard with barley-twist columns and centred by a mask of Queen Elizabeth I above a cartouche, the square panelled posts with ball finials 270cm high, 158cm wide, 210cm long  Provenance: Probably acquired by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88) for Adlington Hall, Cheshire, possibly as part of a refurbishment of the mansion, and thence by descent. Literature: Adlington Guide Book: 'No 10 Bedroom' 'Jacobean Oak Half Tester Bed, c. 1860. The four panel headboard is contained by a canopy with boldly carved strapwork details, while the footboard has twist turned columns and is centred by a mask of Queen Elizabeth above a vacant cartouche'. This impressive Elizabethan-Revival bed is a fine example of antiquarian taste fashionable in the 19th century. The bed offered here is enriched with heavy historicist carving liberally applied to the cornice, head-board and bottom of a half tester of a 19th century double bed. 19th century decorative art dealers supplied original antique furniture and pastiche furniture to meet an increasing demand by collectors interested in the relics of the past, and who wanted to emphasize the antiquity of their family lineage. One of the most prolific dealer/cabinet-makers was George Shaw (1810-76), a Yorkshire architect, who had an early interest in ancient beds (P. Lindfield, 'George Shaw Revisited: Ancient Oak and Beds', FHS Newsletter 225, February 2022, pp. 2-12). In the early 1840s, Shaw began to create 'modern' pastiches of antique furniture offering what he variously described as 'Henry VIII', Elizabeth I or 'James I', including a tester bed to which he added a footboard and royal arms that he sold to James Deardon (1798-1862) of Rochdale Manor, and, in 1847, the well-documented carved 'Paradise' bed, made for the Duke of Northumberland (sold 'Syon Park, Sotheby's, 14-16 May 1997, lot 197, and again, Christie's, London, 25 November 2004, lot 142). As early as 1811, it was noted that 'young fellows of the better classes, in Paris' were 'ornamenting their bed-chambers and particularly their bed's head, with arms and armour of all kinds' (C. Edwards, The Romantic Interior: the British Collector at home 1750-1850, London and New Haven, 1989, p. 63). This historicist style was probably inspired by drawings of state beds in A. W. N. Pugin's, Gothic Furniture in the Style of the Fifteenth Century (1835), pl. 11, and Henry Shaw's Specimens of Ancient Furniture drawn from existing authorities, London, 1836, which included four antique beds: The Great Bed of Ware, an Elizabethan bed, now in the Victoria & Albert Museum (W.47:1 to 28-1931), two 17th century beds from Goodrich Court and a bed from Hardwicke Hall, Derbyshire (plates XXXVII, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XL). In the official catalogue of the 1851 Exhibition, the furniture exhibits were respectively described as Elizabethan, Tudor, Gothic, Louis XIV, Renaissance, Italian, Arabian and Old English Illuminated style (R.W. Symonds, Victorian Furniture, London, 1987, p. 35). Designs for half tester beds in the antiquarian style were subsequently included in Art industry: furniture, upholstery, and house-decoration, illustrative of the arts of the carpenter, joiner, cabinet-maker, painter, decorator, and upholsterer (1879), ed. by G.W. Yapp, an Assistant Commissioner and Compiler of the Official Catalogues of the Great Exhibition of 1851, who on describing a bed in the 1851 exhibition noted: 'It is a State bed in the Elizabethan style, but judiciously treated in a lighter manner than is common' (Symonds, ibid., plates 17, 22). In 1857, the state bedroom at Abney Hall, Cheshire, was refurbished probably by J.G. Crace (1809-89) in the antiquarian style to mark the visit of the Prince Consort to the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition that year (E. Aslin, 19th Century Furniture, New York, 1962, plate 73).  Condition Report: There are the inevitable minor dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks due to age and use.Condition Report Disclaimer

CIRCLE OF SIR GODFREY KNELLER (BRITISH 1646-1723) PORTRAIT OF ANNE, WIFE OF COLONEL THOMAS LEGH THE ELDER Oil on canvas, feigned oval 71 x 61cm (27¾ x 24 in.) Provenance: Possibly commission by the sitter's son, Thomas Legh The Younger for Adlington Hall, thence by descent Literature: Adlington Guide Book: 'The Drawing Room'. Ann Gobart (1590-1675) married Thomas Legh (1593-1644) on 24 August 1610. She was heir to her father's estate as the eldest of his two daughters. It is possible that, after the death of her husband in 1644, her son Thomas Legh The Younger commissioned this portrait to accompany the earlier portrait of his father.

THE ADLINGTON HALL OAK WINE-COOLER A VICTORIAN OAK RECTANGULAR WINE-COOLER MID-19TH CENTURY With a moulded rim, the front panel carved with strapwork and centred by a Bacchus mask, the angles with foliate volutes on a plinth and inset castors 53cm high, 94cm wide, 76cm deep  Provenance: Probably acquired by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88) for Adlington Hall, Cheshire, possibly as part of a refurbishment of the mansion, and thence by descent. Literature: Adlington Guide Book: 'The Oak Stairs' 'Oak Jacobean sideboard... and a conforming wine cooler' Possibly after the design for a 'Wine Cellaret' in R. Bridgens, Furniture with Candelabra and Interior Decoration (1838), plate 30. The present lot was probably acquired for Adlington Hall by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88), Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of Cheshire. He inherited Adlington in 1829 as a descendant of a cadet branch of the Legh family, and through the female line; the direct male line having ended in 1781 with the death of Charles Legh of Adlington (1697-1781. In 1846, Mr. Legh married Mary Jane Arabella Wright, a daughter of the Rev. Henry Wright of Mottram Hall, Cheshire. According to his obituary in 1888, immediately before his marriage in 1846, a member of the family, Colonel Charles Crosse Legh, had sold by auction the valuable library of books, many family portraits and 'other objects forming the chief contents' from Adlington (The Advertiser, 2 March 1888, p. 5).

Charles Richard Banastre Legh does not appear to have maintained a London house, preferring to remain at Adlington as a traditional Cheshire squire where he was highly esteemed as a landlord by his tenants. Although, at present, it is not possible to identify the cabinet-maker responsible for this suite of furniture, a number of firms were producing Elizabethan-Revival furniture in this period including Gillows of Lancaster & London, who was making furniture in a broad range of historicist styles. In 1841, Gillows created an Elizabethan-Revival bookcase for Conishead Priory in Cumbria that differed from earlier revival furniture in that rather than being assembled from old pieces of carving, it was a pastiche (C. Morley, 'The Revival of "Old English" style in Nineteenth Century Furniture', The Journal of the Decorative Arts Society 1850-the Present, no. 16, 1992, p. 21, figs 3 and 4). At the Exposition Universelle of 1878 in Paris, the firm created interiors for the Prince of Wales Pavilion including a grand Elizabethan-style dining room (. Accessed 21 November 2024).

Condition Report: The canvas presents an evident layer of yellowing varnish which renders the analysis of the restoration difficult. Nevertheless, a subtle craquelure is present, and a few retouches scattered across, most evident on the drapery of the mother to the left, where various retouches are visible to the folds, most noticeably above the hand, as well as an approx. 12cm long retouch below the hand which curves towards the bottom left corner. More retouching is present on the hair of the girl to the right, who also presents a grey superficial cloudy surface, most likely caused by the varnish. Further scattered retouches are visible in the foliage, and a few, yet minor, on the stone bugling behind. Condition Report Disclaimer

THE WARWICK CEDAR TABLE A FINE ELIZABETHAN REVIVAL CEDAR CENTRE TABLE IN THE MANNER OF ANTHONY SALVIN, MID-19TH CENTURY The rectangular top with cut-corners and a boldly beaded border above a frieze carved with lion masks, dolphins and inhabited vine scrolls, fitted with eight drawers, the corners with green man masks, on a square pierced strapwork pedestal and a cruciform base with scrolled and pierced buttresses, the feet modelled as gryphons on gilt iron castors marked PATENT beneath a crown 79cm high, 183cm wide, 148cm deep  Provenance: By repute a gift from the Earls of Warwick to the Legh family for Adlington Hall, Cheshire, and thence by descent. Literature: G. Nares, 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire - III: The home of Mrs. Legh', Country Life, 12 December 1952, p. 1961, fig. 3, 'The Mid-Georgian Drawing-room, which lies in the West Front'. Adlington Guide Book: 'In the passage way between the Dining Room and the Great Hall', 'The fine cedar Jacobean revival library table was made from cedar grown at Warwick Castle'. 'The Oak Stairs', Cedar Jacobean revival table known as the 'Warwick Cedar Table'. The shaped square top has an extraordinary beaded border above a strapwork and foliate carved frieze with mask corners. The table is fitted with a drawer on either side on a boss moulded and pierced square pedestal, while the elongated 'X' form supports bold carved with birds, masks and claw feet'. This mid-19th century cedar table is said to be a gift from the Earl of Warwick. It could conceivably have been intended for Warwick Castle, in the Cedar Drawing Room or Great Hall, which were both furnished in the late 19th century in an eclectic Victorian manner with both English and European furniture from the 17th to 19th centuries. The table is in the French Renaissance style, and relates to 16th century models like the so-called 'Sea-Dog Table', walnut, c. 1570, at Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire, which derives from designs by the French architect/draughtsman, Jacques I Androuet du Cerceau (1510-84) (NT 1127744). The elaborately-carved and fantastical 'Sea-Dog Table' is considered one of the best surviving examples of Elizabethan furniture. Similarly to the table offered here with its satyr masks and griffin supports, the 'Sea-Dog Table' features four carved 'sea dog' supports - fantasy creatures with a dog's head, scaly breasts, wings and dolphin tails. 19th century furniture in a historicist style was often to the designs of architects such as Anthony Salvin (1799-1881). Salvin was an expert on medieval buildings and gained a reputation for his Tudor-style refurbishment of mansions like Mamhead House, Devon, and Harlaxton Manor, Lincolnshire. He also designed furniture, for example, a suite of bedroom furniture made for Mamhead House including a carved and pierced oak writing table with Tudor ornamentation (V&A W.5:1 to 5-1973), possibly made by G.J. Morant, and, for Scotney Castle, Kent, an oak library table, c. 1844, and an oak half tester bed, the 'Salvin bed' (NT 790860; NT 790972). Related examples to the table offered here include an octagonal oak table with winged griffin supports in the Small Dining Room, Oxburgh Hall, Norfolk, by Jean Francoise Malfait, the Belgium born cabinet maker and carver known to have supplied furniture to the Bedingfeld family in circa 1850-55. This is part of a collection of oak furniture at Oxburgh Hall by or attributed to Malfait. A further related carved oak library table with dolphin-head feet is at Gawthorpe Hall, Lancashire (NT 421346).

ENGLISH SCHOOL (17TH CENTURY) PORTRAIT OF SIR URIAN LEGH Extensively inscribed with the sitter's identity and coat of arms (upper right and left) 72.5 x 61cm (28½ x 24 in.) In a carved and gilded frame Provenance: Probably commissioned by the sitter for Adlington Hall, and thence by descent Literature: G. Nares, 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire - III: The home of Mrs. Legh', Country Life, 12 December 1952, p. 1963 and p. 1961, fig. 3 and p. 1962, fig. 5.Adlington Guide Book: 'The Drawing Room'. Sir Urian Legh was born in 1566. He was the eldest son of Thomas Legh, the builder of much of the Tudor wing at Adlington. As a young man he took part in the attack on Cadiz, and was knighted there by Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, in 1596. He is among the candidates for the honour of being the Englishman in the famous ballad The Spanish Lady's Love, quoted in Percy's Reliques of Ancient Poetry 'Will you hear a Spanish lady. How she wooed an English man? ... Ten years before the descent on Cadiz. Sir Urian married Margaret, daughter of Sir Edmund Trafford, and after succeeding his father in 1601 settled at Adlington, where he became Mayor of Macclesfield and High Sheriff of Cheshire'. He died in 1629. The present portrait was most likely commission by the sitter for Adlington and had descended to every incumbent since. Condition Report: The canvas has been heavily relined and presents thick varnish which renders the analysis of the restoration difficult. UV light reveals various infills on the the hands, scattered retouches on the inscription to the left, as well as retouching on the decoration on the borders of the jacket. To conclude, the panting presents various dirt satins, as well as various creases. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FLEMISH STAINED FIELD MAPLE, EBONISED AND MARQUETRY CUPBOARD CIRCA 1720 With a plain frieze above a pair of doors each centred by an oval within chequer stringing and enclosing shelves, the base fitted with a long drawer above six tapering facetted supports joined by a flat stretcher on bun feet 208cm high, 165cm wide, 61cm deep  Saleroom notice: Please note the measurements have been corrected online  Literature: Adlington Guide Book: 'No 10 Bedroom' 'Flemish mulberry press, c. 1720 with a plain frieze above a pair of doors each featuring an oval within chequer stringing. The lower part off the press is fitted with a long drawer above six tapering facetted supports joined by a flat stretcher on bun feet'.  This Dutch marquetry cabinet-on-stand belongs to a group of late 17th/early 18th century cabinets that originate from the Low Countries or were made by indigenous craftsmen working in England. They generally have a deep convex cornice and a long drawer on the top of the stand. Pillar legs, as found on the cabinet offered here, replaced earlier scroll legs from c. 1690 onwards (A. Bowett, English Furniture 1660-1714 From Charles II to Queen Anne, Woodbridge, 2002, p. 200). One of the most celebrated cabinets is at Kingston Lacy, Dorset, which is signed in pencil to the inside by Jan Roohals and I Hoogeboom, two Dutch journeymen who were likely employed in the workshop of one of the great Dutch cabinet makers, Jan van Mekeren (1658-1733) (NT 1254596). Closely related examples to the present cabinet include: a cabinet in the collection of the Hesketh family at Rufford Old Hall, Lancashire (NT 784091); another sold Christie's, New York, 12 December 2012, lot 779, and one at Christie's, London, 24 February 2015, lot 370. Condition Report: Upper carcass is with restorations. Doors with splits to both panels, left with old restored split (no information available about original restoration) replaced ebonised beading to left hand door. Splits to both side panels.

ATTRIBUTED TO JOHN SOUCH OF CHESTER (1593-1645) PORTRAIT OF COLONEL THOMAS LEGH THE ELDER, AGED 39 Oil on canvas Inscribed 'Aetatis suae 39' 'And Dou 1632' (upper left) 104.5 x 89cm (41 x 35 in.) Provenance: Probably commissioned by the sitter for Adlington Hall, and thence by descent Literature: Julian Treuherz, New Light on John Souch of Chester, Burlington Magazine. May I 997. p.306. fig. I G. Nares, 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire - III: The home of Mrs. Legh', Country Life, 12 December 1952, p. 1963 and p. 1961, fig. 3.,Adlington Guide Book: 'The Drawing Room'. Thomas Legh The Elder was the son of Sir Urian Legh (1566-1627) and Margaret Trafford, daughter of Sir Edmund Trafford. He married the heiress, Ann Gobart (1590-1675) in 1610. He was twice High Sheriff of Cheshire (1629 and 1642) and a Colonel in the Royalist Army during the Civil War. He lost Adlington Hall in December 1642 but regained it soon after. In February 1644 the house was again besieged. This time it had to be surrendered to the Parliamentarians in order to prevent severe damage. Later that year, Colonel Legh died at Chester, to be succeeded by his son, also Thomas (1614-87). The estate was not returned to the family until 1656 after heavy fines had been paid. Condition Report: The canvas is relined and presents various damages to the borders. UV light reveals a few dotted retouches in the 'background area to the right of the sitter, a horizontal 4 cm wide retouch on the hair, a few retouches on the sitter;s left sleeve, one of which is visible to the naked eye and of about 3 cm in width; another patch of retouching on the sitter's right arm of about 3 cm in diameter, and, to conclude, a layer of cloudy varnish applied across.

THE ADLINGTON HALL OAK SIDE TABLES A PAIR OF VICTORIAN OAK SIDE TABLES CIRCA 1860 Each with a rectangular moulded top above a panelled frieze centred by the Legh crest of a unicorn on turned and cabochon-carved legs 87cm high, 178cm wide, 75cm deep Provenance: Probably acquired by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88) for Adlington Hall, Cheshire, possibly as part of a refurbishment of the mansion, and thence by descent. Literature: 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire: The Seat of Mr. A.M.R. Legh', Country Life, 29 July 1905, p. 128, 'Window in the Old Hall' (one table); p. 129, 'The Old Hall' (one table). G. Nares, 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire - III: The home of Mrs. Legh', Country Life, 12 December 1952, p. 1961, fig. 4, 'The Dining-Room, beneath the Drawing-Room' (one table) Adlington Guide Book: 'Dining Room', 'The two tables each carved with the Legh crest date from 1870'. The present lot was probably acquired for Adlington Hall by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88), Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of Cheshire. He inherited Adlington in 1829 as a descendant of a cadet branch of the Legh family, and through the female line; the direct male line having ended in 1781 with the death of Charles Legh of Adlington (1697-1781), who died without issue. In 1846, Mr. Legh married Mary Jane Arabella Wright, a daughter of the Rev. Henry Wright of Mottram Hall, Cheshire. According to his obituary in 1888, immediately before his marriage in 1846, a member of the family, Colonel Charles Crosse Legh, had sold by auction the valuable library of books, many family portraits and 'other objects forming the chief contents' from Adlington (The Advertiser, 2 March 1888, p. 5). This may explain why there is a proliferation of mid-late 19th-century antiquarian furniture at Adlington. Charles Richard Banastre Legh does not appear to have maintained a London house, preferring to remain at Adlington as a traditional Cheshire squire where he was highly esteemed as a landlord by his tenants.
