A WILLIAM IV MAHOGANY METAMORPHIC LIBRARY ARMCHAIRDATED 1833The upholstered back above open arms with padded elbow rests, the arms with push buttons to engage and lock the ratchet reclining action, the front seat rail sliding forward to reveal ratchet adjustable footrest, on turned legs terminating in brass castors, with a paper label to underside of footrest dated January 1833 17, Margaret Street, Cavendish Square, London - Robert Daws, each leg stamped R DAWS L B Q GR PATENT, as a chair 102cm high, 64cm wide, 77cm deep The label to the underside of the footrest states that not "the least derangement has not to his knowledge averaged one in FIVE HUNDRED during five years". Other examples which have come up for auction have a differing number of years stated we can therefore be fairly confident in dating this to 1832. Daws warranted his chairs for seven years at an original cost for a chair of "moderate proportions" of £10 10S. He promised the chairs would form a "thousand positions". King George IV is believed to have owned one and commended it. The three 'B L Q' initials stamped to the sides of the patent are presumably those of the chair-maker, other chairs which have appeared for sale have differing pairs of initials. Daws traded from 17 Margaret St, Cavendish Square, London from 1820-1839.

MICHEL COMTE, 56cm wide, 36cm deep, 133cm high (22in wide, 14in deep, 52in high) Footnotes:Charles-Guillaume Diehl (1811 - 1885), like many cabinet makers who plied their trade in France during both the 18th and 19th centuries, was actually of German origin. However Diehl settled in Paris in 1840 and established a large atelier at 39, rue Saint-Sebastien. By 1870, there were no fewer than six hundred craftsmen employed at his company.As well as producing furniture for his many wealthy clients, Diehl's firm also made a vast array of luxury objects such as jewellery caskets, liqueur cabinets, games boxes and humidor cabinets. Among Diehl's most well known pieces are those he supplied for the important international exhibitions which took place during the third quarter of the 19th century and begun with the most significant of them all, the Great Exhibition of 1851. He won numerous awards and prizes at all of these exhibitions. A selection of items executed by Diehl are currently housed in the Musee d'Orsay in Paris, the Musee de l'Ecole de Nancy and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, as well at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, C.

OF COLLECTORS' INTEREST: A pair of George I walnut, featherbanded and fruitwood marquetry side chairsCirca 1720, each with a featherbanded vase shaped splat inlaid with an Arabesque comprising a pair of opposing masks and stylised foliage, on C-scroll carved cabriole front legs, with splayed column-and-block rear legs and a waved H-stretcher, 60cm wide x 57cm deep x 102cm high, (23 1/2in wide x 22in deep x 40in high) (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe offered lot formerly belonged to Ralph Edwards C.B.E., F.S.A. (1894-1977), grandfather of the current owner and vendor. One of the offered chairs appears illustrated in R. Edwards and P. Macquoid, The Dictionary of English Furniture, Vol. II, the revised and enlarged edition by R. Edwards, 2000, New York, fig. 90, p. 256. The chair is even noted in 'The Dictionary' as being: 'from Mr Ralph Edwards' and is dated to circa 1710.Ralph EdwardsAlthough principally renowned for The Dictionary of English Furniture, his most influential book first published in the period 1924-1927, Ralph Edwards was also an art historian, academic, connoisseur, author and collector within various fields of the fine and decorative arts. His genuinely eclectic yet thorough knowledge included, but was not limited to, subjects as diverse as: European paintings, watercolours, Hogarth, Old Master drawings, bronze sculpture, needleworks, porcelain, silver and English miniatures. Nonetheless his foremost area of expertise was undoubtedly in English furniture.Following his involvement in World War I, and despite successfully completing the necessary professional legal examinations, Ralph Edwards joined Country Life magazine as a member of their editorial team, where he remained for five years. The motivations behind this career-defining decision are a mystery, however as Nicholas Goodison writes in his superb 1978 obituary it was clear that on this occasion: '...art history gained what the law lost.' N. Goodison, 'Obituary, Ralph Edwards', The Burlington Magazine, May 1978, Vol. 120, No. 902, 'Special Issue Devoted to the Victoria and Albert Museum', p. 316.Throughout 1924 and 1925, Edwards continued in this capacity at Country Life at the same time as working closely with Percy Macquoid (1852-1925) on compiling and creating what would thereafter become their seminal work, The Dictionary of English Furniture. Only one year later, Edwards took up the position of Assistant in the Department of Woodwork at the Victoria and Albert Museum, eventually being promoted to Keeper of that Department in 1937. In total he would retain this significant role for seventeen years until retiring, albeit apparently somewhat reluctantly, in 1954.    During his tenure as Keeper at the Victoria and Albert, Ralph produced a number of books and articles concerning furniture, typically with particular attention to the history of English furniture. Arguably among the most notable of these were; a brief analysis of English chairs in the museum collection; Georgian Cabinet-Makers, which he assembled together with Margaret Jourdain in 1944; and the three volume revised edition of 'The Dictionary', eventually published in 1954. In his obituary on Edwards, Nicholas Goodison brilliantly encapsulated his primary achievement as Keeper in the Department of Woodwork:'In this role he [Edwards] did a great deal to raise the study of furniture from an inconspicuous to an important branch of the decorative arts.'N. Goodison, Ibid, p. 316.In spite of his retirement from the Victoria and Albert, that same year Ralph Edwards started to accept employment - essentially as a kind of senior consultant - with the Historic Buildings Councils of England and Wales. His invaluable aiding of these Councils lasted a staggering twenty-one years. At the same time, Edwards' output of publications persisted and this is exemplified by; the appearance in 1955 of the third version of Georgian Cabinet-Makers; a 1963 condensed single volume edition of his by then widely celebrated 'Dictionary'; and an almost continual provision of furniture-related articles. Added to this, for two years Ralph Edwards assisted in the editing process for the Connoisseur Period Guides (1956-1958). Yet, regardless of this huge workload he was always available to help the Arts Council and other official bodies whenever requested or required to do so.Aside from this specialist study in the realm of furniture, it is incredible to consider that Edwards was additionally responsible for literature on an assortment of other visual arts topics. For example he finished Early Conversation Pieces in 1954 which was a survey of the progression of what are generally referred to as 'conversation paintings', beginning in the medieval period and concluding with examples from the early 18th century.Evidently over the last two decades of his life there was much less focusing on the study of furniture which allowed his wide-ranging proficiency in many of the other decorative arts to flourish. Though it is difficult to know whether this was an intentional move away from his main specialism, it was perhaps inevitable given the nature of his involvement with the Historic Buildings Council and the National Museum of Wales. Edwards' participation with both of these groups led him to investigate virtually all manner of artefacts. Over the course of the twelve years prior to his death in 1977 he also formed a fundamental part of the advisory panel for The Burlington Magazine.Overall, Ralph Edwards' enormous influence on the way in which serious art historical research has been, and continues to be, undertaken is not something that can be easily overstated. Ralph was one of the earliest scholars to confirm factual information pertaining to objects by means of uncovering sources contemporary to them. In this process he was instrumental in bringing to the public consciousness numerous craftsmen, makers and artists, ranging from those who had fallen into complete obscurity to more major and more widely known figures.This was the technique pursued with regards to both The Dictionary of English Furniture and Georgian Cabinet-Makers, despite claims that he later opined that there had become too much emphasis upon the analysis of historical letters and invoices. It is alleged that his subsequent view was that this strict and narrow approach had caused furniture history to become too dry and mundane an affair, possibly more akin to a lifeless regurgitation of old account books than a true labour of love. However it is not clear to what extent he believed this had already happened.An exceptional memory for country houses and their contents meant that Ralph Edwards was almost always able to accurately date a work of art or object, and more often than not suggest an attribution to a certain artist or maker where relevant and possible. His natural affinity for British and European history, allied to his supreme level of connoisseurship, has meant that even today he maintains his position among the very highest echelons of academia within the broad domain that is art history.

Jeanne d'Albret (Joan III of Navarre) was Queen of Navarre, daughter of Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549) and niece of King Francois I (Francis I of France, r. 1515-1547). She is best known for leading the Huguenots (French Protestants) in the French Wars of Religion (1562-1598) and as mother of King Henry IV of France.Nérac is a town in South West France, once the capital of the Duke's of Albret. Jeanne's son, Henri of Navarre (King Henry IV of France and King of Navarre) spent much of his youth in the Castle, where his mother, Jeanne D'Albret, and later his wife, the second Marguerite de Valois, held a brilliant court.The story of the box cannot be verified, however the letters of provenance have some age.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
