In 1760, he became Customs Surveyor in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts. Despite his thankless job of searching ships for contraband and enforcing customs duties, he was perceived as living extravagantly and currying favour with the British, making him immensely unpopular in Boston. In 1766, Paxton was chased out of the country by an angry mob. The following year, in London, he helped form a Board of Commissioners to enforce British customs laws in Boston and returned to Massachusetts with increased power. By 1768, however, he called for British troops to be sent to Boston after the merchants openly defied the law, leading to an effigy of Paxton being hung from the Liberty Tree. His call for military support is considered one of the earliest actions leading to the hostilities of the Revolutionary War. Once the war began, he was officially banished from Boston and fled to England in 1776, where he submitted claims to the crown for his losses during the war and settled in Norfolk. A portrait of Charles Paxton dated 1751, which shows him at a younger age and before him fleeing to England in 1776, is at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Washington. This item is offered for sale in accordance with the Ivory Act 2018 and has been assigned an exemption certificate, Ref. No. 36E69MP6.

Y AN INDIAN HARDWOOD AND IVORY INLAID CABINET GUJERAT OR SINDH, LATE 17TH/EARLY 18TH CENTURY The doors enclosing nine drawers, the inlay to five sides, on a walnut notch carved stand in the Cotswold School taste The cabinet 25cm high, 38cm wide, 29cm deep; the stand 75cm high, 38.5cm wide, 30.5cm deep Provenance:Purchased by George Byng Esq MP (1764-1847) and by descent until sold, Christie's, London, Two Late Regency Collectors: Philip John Miles and George Byng, 9th June 2005, lot 173 where purchased by Robert Kime. Literature: 5 St James's Square, 1847 Inventory: 'BACK DRAWING ROOM a small India Cabinet enclosed by 2 doors and drawers inside.' Cabinets of this general type, inlaid with flowers in ivory onto a hardwood ground were made in north western India, in the provinces of Gujarat or Sindh, from the late 16th century. A similar cabinet is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, but with a fall front. The use of doors in this example may denote a European commission, reflecting as it does the more usual use of doors on a cabinet (see: https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O115588/cabinet-unknown/ and A. Jaffer, Luxury Goods from India..., London, 2002, no. 25). The cabinet was bought by George Byng, whose collecting reflected high fashions of the 1820s -1840s, in company with great collectors such as George Watson Taylor, William Beckford and the king, George IV. Byng's manuscript 'List of Furniture, Porcelain, Paintings &C. purchased by George Byng for Wrotham Park, 1816-43', testifies to his avariciousness for superb objects, paintings and furniture. He lived at Wrotham Park, begun by his great-uncle, the unfortunate naval officer executed following the loss of Menorca in 1757, completed by his father George Byng (d. 1789) and extended by his son, the collector, George Byng MP (d. 1847).
