AN IMPORTANT IRISH YEWWOOD LIBRARY TABLE, by Arthur Jones & Co. Dublin made for the Great Exhibition 1851, at the Crystal Palace, London. 150 x 80cmThe most widely referenced and prominently illustrated Irish exhibit of the 1851 Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in London, was an eighteen-piece bog yew suite designed and manufactured by Arthur Jones & Sons of Dublin. The suite is described and illustrated in a four-page entry.In 1853 Jones went on to publish a more extensive catalogue of the suite, which included an additional six pieces of furniture. He entitled the catalogue: ‘Description of a suite of sculptured decorative furniture, illustrative of Irish history and antiquities, manufactured of Irish bog yew /designed and executed by Arthur J. Jones, Son, and Co. ... 135, Stephen’s Green, Dublin.’There are four known surviving pieces of this suite today. They are listed in the Official Exhibition Catalogue as follows: No.4- A Teapoy, No.17 - A sarcophagus wine-cooler, or garde-vin, No. 9- Whist Table and No.2 - An Occasional Table - Lot 428 in this sale.The teapoy was sold at auction in Adam’s in 2014; the wine cooler was bequeathed to the National Trust of Australia (NSW) by Samuel Henry Ervin[1] and remains in the S.H. Ervin Gallery in Sydney to this day; and the whist table, or card table is in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.Jones’ entire suite is composed of a type of bogwood called ‘bog yew’. A wood that derives from ancient fallen trees or stumps that have been submerged in bog land for thousands of years. Bogwood was increasingly used by craftspeople and cabinetmakers as a deliberate reference to Ancient Ireland in their work. Jones writes in the introduction pages of his independent catalogue:“The wood employed – the bog yew tree – resembles the subject it illustrates. As the details of Irish history have been disentombed from the oblivion which conquest entails upon the records of the vanquished, the bog yew timber of ancient Ireland has been exhumed from the depths of her peat formations…” (Jones, 1853)The integration of ancient animals emblematic of Ireland is omnipresent in this suite. The inclusion of creatures such as the extinct Great Irish Deer [Megaloceros Giganteus] and the Irish wolf, injects an element of drama and theatre.The Occasional Table was carved with a ferocious animal group of the Irish wolfhound killing a wolf to the cross-stretcher. This piece of the table is sadly no longer present but can be seen in the catalogue illustrations.The important role of music and poetry in the Irish culture is also represented in the design of the suite as can be seen above the pillars of this table – central to the carved apron is a Celtic harp, and each corner, a bard’s head.The large pillar supports of the table are raised on downswept legs carved with shamrocks, roses, thistles – emblems known as the ‘Union Flowers’. The top portion of the table is representative of Ancient Ireland while the lower half carved with ‘Union Flowers’ alongside symbols of Ancient Ireland places this piece firmly within the context of the ‘United Kingdom’ which would have been Jones inclination and his intended market.Condition Report: Very good condition Noticeable time split to top Stretcher underneath has lost the animal carving (compare with original design illustrations)Small losses to the carving underneath have been overpolished to conceal lossSee additional images
