Lot 169
A BURR WALNUT, EBONY AND IVORY INLAID SIDE CABINET IN THE AESTHETIC TASTE, C.1870, attributed to Lamb of Manchester, the mirrored superstructure with a fine panel of inlaid arabesques, above an arched balustrade cresting flanked by shelves supported on ebony and ivory turned column, the top with ivory inlaid Greek Key border above glazed doors, shelved interior, the base with corresponding balustrade, above a platform stretcher with conforming inlay, on six short turned legs. 198cm wide, 41cm deep, 172cm highSet against a backdrop of the Victorian era, the Aesthetic movement was a rebellion against the uniform precision and the mechanisation of production. Aesthetes strove for a freedom of creative expression, seeking to bring art into the most banal of objects through a focus on quality craftsmanship. With the use of machines allowing for elaborate and over the top decoration in furniture production, those, such as James Lamb, who worked in accordance with this movement attempted to strip the pieces back to the basics. They relied on the formation of the piece itself to be an ornament in its own right. Lamb of Manchester created structurally bold pieces that drew on the simplicity and elegance of Japanese design and the incorporation of geometric motifs. James Lamb’s furniture was highly praised and won medals at the world fairs of both London (1862) and Paris (1867). On his death, the Journal of Decorative Art and British Decorators hailed him for his innovation, claiming that ‘His name was a synonym for the best in everything he did... His name for fifty years stood as a landmark for all that was best in both spheres of industrial art.’Helena CarlylePLEASE NOTE: THIS ITEM CONTAINS OR IS MADE OF IVORYBidders should be advised that importation regulations of several countries, including the US, prohibits the importation of ivory, or any goods containing ivory.
