Lot 536
AN IRISH GEORGE III SQUARE PIANO BY SAMUEL MORELAND, of 63 Mecklenburgh Street Lower, the case decorated with crossbanding, ebon stringing and applied brass mounts, opening to an ivory keyboard with panel inscription Improved patent Sam Moreland Grand and Square piano forte Manufacturer, 63 Lower Mecklenburgh Street, Dublin with hand-painted gilt scroll and foliate decoration to each side, raised on ring turned baluster supports and brass castors. 174cm wide, 70cm deep, 82cmPiano maker Samuel Morland, whose workshops were in Mecklenburgh street Lower from 1809 to 1832, produced pianos and harpsichords in mahogany and rosewood. The National Museum has a dedicated 19th century music room in which some of Morland’s creations can be seen today. Home entertainment in the 19th century often revolved around the piano in the parlour, and Morland’s business thrived on this rapidly expanding home market. They are as much instruments of sound as items of furniture. Over time, square pianos were built in larger sizes with more keys and a wider range; by the 1830s, square grand pianos predominated, with changes to their internal mechanisms and construction that produced larger sounds and used higher string tensions. Square pianos were the most popular keyboard instrument of the late 18th century, however they were gradually replaced by upright pianos, which had a smaller footprint and larger sound.

AN EARLY 18TH VIZAYAPATAN WRITING DESK, in inlaid rosewood decorated with ivory floral marquetry, set on an ebony ground, the lift writing slope enclosing fitted drawers and pigeon holes and a removable tray set on an Irish 18th century mahogany stand with carved frieze centred by a recessed scallop shell and flanking scrolls, raised on cabriole legs. 86cm high, 56 x 41cm Provenance: The Penrose Family (Cooper Penrose) formerly Woodhill House, CorkA similar example is shown in Christopher Gilbert The Life and Works of Thomas ChippendaleThe Penrose family were a prominent mercantile family throughout the 18th century and early 19th century in Cork and Waterford. Although glass making was not their principal business, the Penrose glass houses in Waterford and Cork meant that they became, literally, a household name. Their house in Cork was a mycenae of art. The portrait of Cooper Penrose by J. C David done in Paris at the time of the revolution, exhibited in the recent Chicago Exhibtiion of Irish Art, represents one of the most careless and devastating losses of art that this country has suffered. A gallant attempt to repair the damage is the Penrose Room that has been created in the Crawford.
