A pair of George III satinwood and painted card tables in the manner of Seddon, Son and Shackleton, inlaid with stringing and kingwood and amaranth banding, each of 'D' shape, the hinged fold-over tops polychrome decorated with a band of scrolling flowers, on twin gate supports and with a baize lined playing surface, above panels of ribbon tied flowers, on square tapering legs and spade feet, 74.4cm high, 90.3cm wide, 44cm deep. (2) Provenance: The estate of the late John F. Braund. The painted floral decoration contrasting with the golden colour of the West Indian satinwood is reminiscent of the London cabinet makers Seddon, Son and Shackleton. In c.1790 George Seddon took his son-in-law, Thomas Shackleton, into the business and they traded as Seddon, Son and Shackleton from premises on Aldersgate Street, London. They were famous for producing painted furniture at this period thanks to two large commissions: one for Hauteville House, St. Peter Port, Guernsey (1790) and Bridewell House, Dorset (1792-3). For a similar pair of tables see Christie's, Important English Furniture, 24th November 2005, lot 116.
A Large Late 19th Century Ivory Fan the guards simply shaped, the gorge plain. The double silk printed leaf is hand coloured to emulate a Grand Tour fan, with a Pompeian feel, the classical borders giving body to five vignettes containing cherubs involved in various pursuits, playing music, sharing fruit, complemented by ladies in flowing robes and other winged creatures, half man half beast. The verso is plain. Together with a cream card fan box with a Duvelleroy label inside the domed lid. Guard length 11.75 inches or 30cm. the fan is sound, some light foxing to the silk seen from the verso. The box lid ends are damaged, some general scuffs and marks and is probably not the original.
A Rare French Fan, circa 1890's, the ivory monture shaped like a dagger or sword hilt. The head, intricately carved and shaped and set with an opaque stone, the gorge and lower guards shaped only at the shoulder, but the upper part of the guards carved to catch the eye with a bulbous section carved in layers, more detail to tip and junction, with a column-like and elegant section culminating in a pipe-playing cherub carved in relief, atop a pedestal. A closer look at this shape shows that the fan is made to emulate a dagger, with the bulbous part the handle. The lower guard matches, save for the cherub playing a different instrument. The silk leaf, mounted à l'anglaise, is painted in pastel colours with an amusing scene of ''Marionettes de l'Amour'', a puppet theatre with three puppets on the ''stage'', plus a white cat perched on a red velvet cushion. The ''audience'' consists of six rather chubby winged cherubs, one having sneaked under the curtain of the theatre, one pointing at a puppet as if a teacher pointing at a blackboard, the others taking it all in, one to the left with his tongue protruding. Signed, under the cherubs to the left, Aman Cyboulle, a French artist who exhibited at The Salon 1868-1880. The recto is completed with a simple border to the edges and some details in the corners. The verso is plain save for some detail to the corners and simple flower sprays. Contained in a card fan box covered in cerise silk and inscribed in gold for Duvelleroy Regent Street W. Guard length 11 inches or 28cm See a similar fan, painted by a different artist but with the same monture, sold in the ''Earth to Fire'' sale at Sotheby's London in May 1st 2018, lot 307. Estimated at £600 to £700 it achieved £1500.00 hammer.. It is somewhat of a miracle that the carving that protrudes on the guards in undamaged. The fan is generally clean and in good order.
