Favoured by King William and Queen Mary, his patrons also included many of the aristocracy of the time and he is known to have worked at Burghley House, Chatsworth, Arundel Castle, Boughton House and Petworth to name a few. Examples of his work for the King and Queen are illustrated in R.W. Symonds, 'Gerrit Jensen, Cabinet-Maker to the Royal Household', Connoisseur, Vol. 95, January-June 1935, pp. 268-274. The delicately rendered 'seaweed' or 'arabesque' marquetry (called 'filigree' in the early eighteenth century) is characterized by its two-dimensionality and dense foliate scrolls, and its panels are cut in a single operation. Very similar chests were sold Christie's, New York, Important English Furniture, 11th October 2007, Lot 210 ($58,600) and Sotheby's, Important English Furniture, 4th June 2008, Lot 24 (£25,000). Another closely related chest was sold in these rooms, 30th November 2022, Lot 41 (£21,250). This chest retains a trade label for Moss Harris and Sons, New Oxford Street, London. Moss Harris were one of the foremost London dealers in the first half of the 20th century and held Royal Warrants to H.M. The Queen (Queen Mary) from the 1920's and the Prince of Wales during 1929-1936. Condition Report: Chest in overall sympathetically restored, tidy/presentable condition Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use The expected old splits and chips Various old veneer and moulding repairs Metalware replaced Handles and escutcheons have a brightly gilded surface, this could be easily 'muted' by a restorer if required.

Some small plugged holes to drawer fronts from previous fixtures One key present and operates two locks, the remaining lock is open Various paper linings to drawers which bear the expected marks, discolouration and wear Drawer linings are very well executed old replacements. Some later supporting blocks and batons to the interior of the carcass, and replaced drawer runners Backboards have good age but are likely later replacement. Some evidence of old worm in places, some filler and wax has been used to disguise. Turned feet are well matched old replacements The lower moulding that the feet sit into appears to be an old replaced element, but matches the rest of the piece remarkably well and is only noticeable upon close inspection.

A GEORGE II MAHOGANY BUREAU BOOKCASE BY JOHN FRANKLIN, CIRCA 1750 The top possibly associated, the fall opening to an arrangement of pigeon holes and drawers around a central cupboard door, the printed label titled 'John Franklin, Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer, the Sign of the Chair in Bell Court, Doctor's Common, London, Makes and Sells all Sorts of Chairs, Cabinets...'. 205cm high, 95cm wide, 52cm deepA John Franklin is listed in 1803 as a subscriber to Thomas Sheraton's "Cabinet Dictionary", Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, ed. by G. Beard and C. Gilbert, 1986, Leeds, p. 319. Considering the dates however, it is unlikely that this is actually the same individual responsible for the offered lot, which is dated circa 1750. It seems more likely that the John Franklin who made the present bureau bookcase is the one documented as working in the capacity of a 'turner' in 1730, in Upton, Buckinghamshire. It is then certainly conceivable that the latter moved to London after an initial period as a 'turner' to become a cabinet maker.(bifmo.history.ac.uk) Condition Report: Bookcase with the marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Old chips and splits. Please note, it is likely that the two sections of the bookcase (upper glazed section and the lower bureau section) are associated to each other. The top of the bureau section is finished and there are also difference between the construction of the backboards. The putty to the inside of the glazed doors varies to some panes suggesting these are old replacements. All glass has good age and 'wave'. Interior of the fall front is well used. It has various dents, abrasions, and dark marks - see images. Small sections of inset timber around one of the fall hinges. Escutcheons and handles to lopers are old replacements. The locks and the handles to the drawers appear to be possibly original. There are keys present and operate all locks. Some of the locks are 'sticky'. Later blocks to the backs of the feet. One rear foot with repairs - see images. Some old moulding repairs. Some splits to bottoms of drawers. Minor evidence of old worm. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition.Condition Report Disclaimer
