However, the British Museum holds in its collection a pair of lustres (museum number 1909,1201.76) very similar to this lot with the attribution to Matthew Boulton and Josiah Wedgwood. In the curator's notes for the pair they state "City of Birmingham Public Libraries holds the Boulton and Fothergill pattern books in which the design for the metal base appears (Pattern Book 2, p. 205). See also Pattern Book 2, pp. 197 and 211 for a design similar to the bowl shaped element at the top of the lustres and cut glass on a metal candelabrum, also p. 112 for cut glass bowl-shaped items with scalloped edges. A design for a teapot (Pattern Book 3, p. 14) shows chasing similar to that around the bottom edge of the bases of the lustres".Condition Report: Gilding with rubbing- notably to the exposed extremities and dished surfaces, Both lower 'pineapple' glass stem mounts with damages and losses, one sconce with loss and ground repair, Jasper banding with crazing/cracking to raised relied - presumably from firing?

Y A REGENCY MAHOGANY AND BRASS MOUNTED SOFA GAMES TABLE CIRCA 1820 Of small proportions, the sliding and reversible top inlaid with a games board to one side, the top sliding to reveal a silk lined and divided compartment 72cm high, 99cm wide (with leaves up), 46cm deep Provenance: Private Collection, LondonCondition Report: Overall there are marks, scratches, knocks and abrasions consistent with age and use. There is some sun fading overall and from one side more than the other; some of the shellac has opaque scratches. The top has some cracks to the corner of the sliding central 'board' section, and when reversed the chequer board is darker in colour, some veneers to the chequer board are slightly lifting. There are knocks to the edges of the sliding central board and it is missing some sections of the beading that slides inside the groove of the table. Some repairs to the groove recess. The grooved recess for the board is slightly tapering so that when in place there is a tapering gap to one side. The removable two division tray has marks to the later green fabric lining. The tray fits within the recess, but due to the movement to one side of the top (referred to above making the recess for the board slightly tapered) it fits by being placed in from one side first, rather than in a single upward motion. Some movement to one of the drop leaves; some movement to the gilt metal pierced gallery, to one end section in particular. Whilst the joints are secure, the table has some movement when pushed from side to side. All that said, many of these comments on condition are apparent only on close inspection. A skilled restorer could rectify many of these points. Please see the additional photographs as a visual reference of condition.  Condition Report Disclaimer

A CARVED GILTWOOD FOUR-FOLD SCREEN WITH FLEMISH TAPESTRY PANELS 16TH/17TH CENTURY TAPESTRY, FRAME MID/LATE 19TH CENTURY The 19th century Italian or French carved and gilded hinged frame with Renaissance style decoration of masks, caryatids, entrelac, fluted columns and leaf capitals, the tapestry, possibly Brussels, with emblematic figures above urns of fruit and beasts, the backs with engraved giltwood and damask fabric panels, the two end sections with gilt metal handleseach tapestry panels visible 201cm high, 49.5cm wide, the screen sections each 249cm high, 62cm wide, The use of tapestry for screens accords with the old description of tapestries as "portable murals". However, whilst they were more moveable than the wall coverings and could function as room dividers, their inherent form made them more susceptible to damage with the result that few have survived- and if they have survived, it is usually because like this example they have been enclosed within the safety and protection of later frames.Typically they were woven as narrow panels with figures beneath baldaquins and within scrolling uprights. Often the figures depicted would be emblematic of a story- or a series of moral imperatives- see lot 98 Sotheby's "Arts of Europe" auction, London, 6th November, 2014- where the four figures represent Temperance, Prudence, Justice and Fortitude. In this example it would seem from the imbalance of the sexes- and the slightly confused Latin texts- that this may well originally have been part of a larger 6 or 8 panel screen. In its current form we see;1 Panel with female figure with martyrs palm, above a roaring big cat2 Panel with female figure with sword single section, Latin text above "NON INFNIA PLAGENT" and "BELLA SEQUOR* CUP*** PRE*E", seated eagle below.3 Panel with female figure with martyrs palm, Latin text "ALTA CERNO TERRENA SFERNIT"(possibly a doggerel version of text from Livy- and "SUA ET ALIENA ULCITUBORE", birds and carnivore below4 Panel from a biblical or mythological story, man standing over woman with winged cherub, snake biting the tail of a crocodile below.The depiction of a crocodile is unusual but not unknown. As well as typically being used as an emblematic detail for Africa in depictions of the Four Continents, crocodiles sometimes feature in "Game park" tapestries such as the late 16th century Flemish example sold £12,000, lot 123, Christies, Fine European Furniture, Sculpture, Tapestries And Carpets, London, 10th November 2005.For a similar screen see Sotheby's, New York, Fine French & Continental Furniture, 9th April 2008, Lot 14 ($18,750). Condition Report: Frame with some rubbing to raised decoration and edges- some minor losses to cresting, various stamped numerals to hinge points and with mild damage around several hinges, backing probably later.Textile panels- overall slightly muted colours as per age, sunlight exposure and dirt to surface.The two panels without top text look to have been altered to fit into the frame- and with bands of slightly different design and colour to the top of eachEach panel probably slightly trimmed to fit- later borders and with old repairs (in various colour threads) - most noticeable in such areas as around snake's head where section seems to have been rewoven in gold coloured thread and with replacement floral design. The repairs will need, in some cases, to be redone- notably to areas such as the section above the text in panel with eaglePlease see additional images which form a part of this condition reportCondition Report Disclaimer
