A pair of George III Paktong candlesticksunmarked Of typical column form, cast, topped with Corinthian capital and removable shaped-square drip-pan, fluted pillar on a stepped square base with gadroon borders, the monogram 'AC' inscribed to one side, height 28cm. (2)Footnotes:Property of a private collector.A similar pair is illustrated in Keith Pinn, Paktong: The Chinese Alloy in Europe 1680-1820, (Suffolk: Antique Collectors Club, 1999), p.99, plate 59.Paktong is an alloy that can trace its roots in China to the 4th century AD, created by the process of combining copper, nickel and zinc. The name is derived from the Chinese 'baitong', meaning 'white copper'. In Ming-Qing China, it was widely used for making every day domestic items such as water pipes for smoking, bowls, dishes, ink boxes, and so on. In the late 17th century, it was frequently exported to Europe where it became fashionable for decorative domestic wares. English makers, such as Matthew Boulton, saw the potential for making candlesticks and other goods from paktong as the metal could be cast, took a high polish and was slow to tarnish. The imported alloy was therefore used by silversmiths and by Birmingham brass manufacturers to imitate silverware. A page from one of Boulton's books from the Soho factory in 1769 lists twenty-two 'subjects into which it (paktong) may be manufactured'. Once called 'Tutenag' or 'Chinese white copper' it is believed that English and European makers were experimenting with the alloy as early as the opening decades of the eighteenth century. However most surviving paktong is from the 1760-1780 period. Candlesticks are often found in paktong, but other items were also created from the versatile alloy. Robert Adam designed paktong fire grates for Syon House and a 1782 inventory of Osterley Park House records the fire grate, fender and fire irons as paktong. Paktong died out as a product for high fashion candlesticks and other objects in the late 18th Century, when Sheffield plate emerged as a cheaper alternative.Also refer to Chao Huang, Metallurgical knowledge transfer from Asia to Europe: Retrospect of Chinese paktong and its influence on Sweden and Austria, accessed via https://doi.org/10.4000/artefact.1996For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A George III period extending mahogany dining table having one extra leaf: the reeded edge top above two gun-barrel supports, each with tripod base with downswept tapering legs terminating in elongated pad feet (186 cm leaves in x 114 cm wide)Condition Report: There are four clips. The top has been re-polished at some stage. There are some scratches, ink and water marks commensurate with age. The middle leaf is prevalently darker through less usage. The two pillar supports appear OK, the colour is good. There is some scuffing and knocks to the ends of the elongated pad feet commensurate with age. One of the supports has a 8cm vertical split where the legs is joined and appear a little faded. The piece may well have been stored in a barn or outbuilding (some mould on the underside is apparent). Would benefit from a re-polish.

AN IMPORTANT IRISH YEWWOOD LIBRARY TABLE, by Arthur Jones & Co. Dublin made for the Great Exhibition 1851, at the Crystal Palace, London. 150 x 80cmThe most widely referenced and prominently illustrated Irish exhibit of the 1851 Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in London, was an eighteen-piece bog yew suite designed and manufactured by Arthur Jones & Sons of Dublin. The suite is described and illustrated in a four-page entry.In 1853 Jones went on to publish a more extensive catalogue of the suite, which included an additional six pieces of furniture. He entitled the catalogue: ‘Description of a suite of sculptured decorative furniture, illustrative of Irish history and antiquities, manufactured of Irish bog yew /designed and executed by Arthur J. Jones, Son, and Co. ... 135, Stephen’s Green, Dublin.’There are four known surviving pieces of this suite today. They are listed in the Official Exhibition Catalogue as follows: No.4- A Teapoy, No.17 - A sarcophagus wine-cooler, or garde-vin, No. 9- Whist Table and No.2 - An Occasional Table - Lot 428 in this sale.The teapoy was sold at auction in Adam’s in 2014; the wine cooler was bequeathed to the National Trust of Australia (NSW) by Samuel Henry Ervin[1] and remains in the S.H. Ervin Gallery in Sydney to this day; and the whist table, or card table is in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.Jones’ entire suite is composed of a type of bogwood called ‘bog yew’. A wood that derives from ancient fallen trees or stumps that have been submerged in bog land for thousands of years. Bogwood was increasingly used by craftspeople and cabinetmakers as a deliberate reference to Ancient Ireland in their work. Jones writes in the introduction pages of his independent catalogue:“The wood employed – the bog yew tree – resembles the subject it illustrates. As the details of Irish history have been disentombed from the oblivion which conquest entails upon the records of the vanquished, the bog yew timber of ancient Ireland has been exhumed from the depths of her peat formations…” (Jones, 1853)The integration of ancient animals emblematic of Ireland is omnipresent in this suite. The inclusion of creatures such as the extinct Great Irish Deer [Megaloceros Giganteus] and the Irish wolf, injects an element of drama and theatre.The Occasional Table was carved with a ferocious animal group of the Irish wolfhound killing a wolf to the cross-stretcher. This piece of the table is sadly no longer present but can be seen in the catalogue illustrations.The important role of music and poetry in the Irish culture is also represented in the design of the suite as can be seen above the pillars of this table – central to the carved apron is a Celtic harp, and each corner, a bard’s head.The large pillar supports of the table are raised on downswept legs carved with shamrocks, roses, thistles – emblems known as the ‘Union Flowers’. The top portion of the table is representative of Ancient Ireland while the lower half carved with ‘Union Flowers’ alongside symbols of Ancient Ireland places this piece firmly within the context of the ‘United Kingdom’ which would have been Jones inclination and his intended market.Condition Report: Very good condition Noticeable time split to top Stretcher underneath has lost the animal carving (compare with original design illustrations)Small losses to the carving underneath have been overpolished to conceal lossSee additional images
