A GILT BRONZE MOUNTED CELADON EWER 18TH CENTURY The late 18th century Viennese mounts in the manner of the Würth family mounted on a Japanese porcelain ewer, second half 18th century 33cm high, 20.5cm wide The attribution to Würth is based upon stylistic comparison with work produced by Ignaz Joseph Würth (1742-1792). He is best known for the Neoclassical silver flatware service that Maria Theresa, wife and empress of the Holy Roman emperor Francis I, gave to her daughter Maria Christina and her husband Albert, Duke of Saxe-Teschen. In this example it is the unusual elongated leaves to the neck, the guilloche banding and the boldness of design and chasing of the handle which suggest a strong attribution to the silversmith and his family. The Liechtenstein Collection holds a similar example of a gilt bronze mounted Kangxi celadon vase and cover attributed to Ignaz Würth with the mounts dated to 1775/1785. Condition Report: In overall good condition, typical old marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Some scattered areas with minor tarnishing and rubbing to gilding. The porcelain displaying some pitting and craquelure notably to lower half of body and foot. Please see additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.

AN ANTIQUARIAN GILT BRONZE AND CHINESE LACQUER-MOUNTED BREAKFRONT SIDE CABINET 19TH CENTURY, OF LOUIS XIV STYLE, THE LACQUER PANELS 18TH CENTURY The marble top above a frieze of foliate scrolls and acanthus above three doors displaying re-used lacquer panels enclosing oak shelves, above a raised plinth centred by a panel with bearded mask and with rosette blocks, on tapering feet with acanthus clasps, one lock stamped Comyn Ching & Co 97cm high, 160cm wide, 58cm deepProvenance: The Hon. Claude John Yorke, and thence by descent This imposing cabinet reflects the antiquarian taste prevalent in England in the 19th century, led by London dealer/agents and manufacturers such as Edward Holmes Baldock who was trading from various addresses in of Hanway Street from 1805 and Robert Hume trading from Berners Street from 1829. Indeed the Covent Garden and Soho areas of London witnessed a huge number of businesses engaged in the trade in new, restored and second hand furniture and works of art, from the likes of Baldock and Hume whose clients included royalty and the nobility, to traders who bought and sold `curios' and others who were little more than dealers in scrap. The trade was fanned by enthusiastic and wealthy and collectors of `antiques' such as William Beckford (d.1844) and the Duke of Hamilton (d.1852), historic house refurbishments such as at Hardwick Hall (1839 - 49) and sometimes hare-brained projects such as the Earl of Eglinton's chivalric Tournament of 1839 offered dealers an easy opportunity to make money, while auction sales of eminent collections brought yet more artefacts to the market. Part of this trade saw new furniture created re-using older element, particularly those items deemed precious or valuable, hard stones, Chinese and Japanese lacquer, carved ebony, boulle and tortoiseshell and even old oak. Makers such as Baldock incorporated these in conventional ways, using newly made pieces and the best are superbly executed. A detailed study of the trade was published by Mark Westgarth, Biographical Dictionary of Nineteenth Century Antique and Curiosity Dealers, Regional Furniture Society Journal, 2009, vol.23. A Regency cabinet of similar type, black and gilt-japanned and incorporating 18th century Kangxi lacquer was sold from Crichel, Dorset, at Christie's, London, 23 May 2013, lot 152 (£22,500 including premium).The attribution to a London antiquarian manufacturer is reinforced by the use of locks marked by the Seven Dials ironmonger Comyn Ching & Co. Condition Report: Generally good, structurally secure with wear and tear consistent with age and use. There are minor scratches marks and scuffing and some constructional shrinkage cracks. The marble top is in good order but with some repairs, a crack running front to back about 23cm from the left edge and a repaired break to the back right corner. Otherwise some minor edge chips.

There is a 26cm piece of ebonised facing detached to the upright inside the centre door. The carcase made of framed and panelled oak, quite precisely machined and assembled typical of 19th century work. Each door revealing a single shelf. Overall a handsome and robust cabinet.
