Y A Fine Reformed Gothic walnut and specimen parquetry inlaid trumpet work table, circa 1880, attributed to being designed by Charles Bevan for Gillows, with internal removable tray above the trumpet paper lined 'bag', the specimen marquetry including oak, walnut, tulipwood, and maple, 71.5cm high, 37cm wide, 37cm deepCharles Bevan was born in the late 1820's and started gaining recognition for his work as a furniture designer and manufacturer in around 1865.Three London addresses are recorded from which he operated, firstly at 66 Margaret Street between 1865-6. Here he advertised a 'New Registered Reclining chair' made by Marsh and Jones of Leeds, whose London show rooms were near his own premises. In that year with the help of Marsh and Jones he supplied the Yorkshire mill owner Sir Titus Salt with a large group of furniture including a bedroom suit, and in 1867 with the case of an Erard grand piano. These can all now been seen at Temple Newsam House inLeeds.In 1866 he moved to 46 Bemers Street, during which time, his fortunes improved, working with the Manchester firm of James Lamb whose work was shown in the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1867. The following year he went into collaboration with one of the largest and most notable of 19th century furniture manufacturers, Gillows of Lancaster and London. Finally, in 1872 his works were exhibited at the International Exhibition in London with Gillows. They, in partnership, produced a pair of ebonised cabinets, decorated with Doulton stoneware plagues which now form part of the V&A collection in London. His final move was in 1872 and coincided with a partnership with his son forming C.Bevan and Son and a move to 100 High Holborn where the firm remained for the following ten years.Stylistically his furniture tends to be very heavily ornamented and in the Gothic taste, elaborately decorated with geometric ornamental inlays, described at the time as in the 'medieval taste', something clearly evident in our work box.Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches, abrasions consistent with age and use, some scuffs and knocks around the base,The internal tray probably originally with lids, these are all lacking, the pin cushion elements with rips,Some staining/deposit to the interior velvet of the lid - this may benefit from a light cleanThe top with fading and is a lighter colour than the rest, the base retaining good colour, Some splitting and cracking near the hinges of the top, The velvet interior to the lid worn and with losses and a stain to one lower side Please refer to additional images for visual reference to conditionCondition Report Disclaimer

Lot 290

A rare William IV figural papier mache tray by Jennens & Bettridge, circa 1835, the oval tray painted with an adaptation of the 'Nubian Giraffe' after Jacques-Laurent Agasse (1767-1849), within a border gold painted with foliage and cartouches, stamped JENNENS & BETTRIDGE 2ND to the rear, 61cm high, 76cm wide, presented on an associated limed oak charger stand, 35cm highThe giraffe depicted on this tray, a gift to George IV from the Pasha of Egypt and the first of the species to be seen in England, arrived at Windsor in 1827, where it was housed in the menagerie at Sandpit Gate on the edge of the Great Park. Jacques-Laurent Agasse was commissioned to paint the giraffe in her enclosure, accompanied by her two Arab keepers, the cows maintained to provide milk for the juvenile animal, and Edward Cross, the owner of the Exeter Change menagerie who had been co-opted for his professional advice on the new acquisition.The giraffe's arrival prompted a brief period of so-called 'giraffamania', during which the decorative arts and fashion were inspired by the striking patterns and height of the animal. At the same time, a raft of satirical prints poked fun at the monarch and his new pet. It is probable that this tray was made during this period.The giraffe, never especially healthy, died after only two years and it was not until 1836, when the Zoological Society of London imported a small herd, that giraffes were seen again in Britain.The composition of the image after Agasse on the tray is interesting. The cattle in the background are excised and the landscape is extended to the left and right to fill the necessary space.Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches, abrasions consistent with age and use,Signs of craquelure to the painted surface, also areas of re-touching and restoration, the black border of the tray appears to overlap the image in places, the gilt edge with loss of definition and again appearing to have restoration.

Lot 91

A Swiss stained and leaded glass figural panel, possibly Bern, the central panel dated 1607 and with later elements, depicting three Landsknechte, dressed in vibrant costumes and wearing feathered hats, two holding a halberd and another with a beaker, standing before a diapered and balustraded background, the lower reserve with inscription and central armorial shield with standing bull, inside a likely later arrangement of circular segments with two further stained roundels, later fitted to a stained wood light box frame, approximately 93cm high, 61cm high overallWhile Swiss mercenary guards were a popular theme for Wappenscheibe (armorial panels) such as the present lot, the arrangement of three figures is unusual. The compositional arrangement of guards on a geometrically demarcated podium and the handling of the sprawling landscape in subtle yellow tones to the upper reserve, show distinct similarities to late 16th and early 17th century panels from the Bern region of Switzerland. Note for example the panel with Ulrich, Jakob and Gilgen Hess, dated 1586, in the collection of the Historisches Museum in Bern. An early 17th century panel which uses a similar cartouche-form device surrounding the inscription and a contemporary architectural backdrop to the figures (as with the balustrade in the present panel) is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession no. 1974.28.190.
