Sotheby's Olympia

Lot 1

A fine and rare Charles II turned lignum vitae wassail bowl and cover late 17th century with a ring turned lid incorporating a smaller goblet shaped vessel which has a baluster turned stem the conforming bowl with ring turned decoration the squat baluster turned stem on a raised and stepped base the interior features an old repair where a brass rivet has been used bowl; h.27.5cm. diam.25cm.; with lid; h.44cm. The goblet shaped vessel on the top may well have had a lid and was possibly a spice box see Owen Evan-Thomas Domestic Utensils of Wood Stobart Davies 1973 p.20 pl.7 for a similar example incorporating a spice box on baluster turned stem. Evan-Thomas also illustrates a very similar bowl and cover (pl.10) which lacks the bowl of the spice container and features stumps from former finials. The example offered here features three filled holes to the lid which probably held finials which would have been used as stands to support tumblers. The words 'waes-haile' 'was-haile' or wass-heil' have all passed into our language as 'Wassail'. Wassailing is a term used to describe community drinking usually associated with festive occassions. It is sometimes translated as 'be whole/be well'. Recipies vary according to local customs. Good ale or in some cases wine were the bases to which sugar cloves and cardamons were added together with a small roasted apple for each drinker. Egg white was added to produce a froth giving rise to the name 'lamb's wool'. There is an entry in Samuel Pepys diary on the 21st of November 1660 in which he writes 'lay long in bed this morning my cozen Thomas Pepys the turner sent me a cupp of lignum vitae'. This reference is interesting for two reasons through the fact that wood turners were working with this prized wood and that it was a worthy gift exchanged within fashionable society. This suggests that worth was attached and that this exported material would have been costly. Pepys certainly felt it worth mentioning it in his diary. à W

Sotheby's Olympia

Lot 1

A rare pair of small Charles II brass trumpet base candlesticks third quarter 17th century each with a ribbed stem ending in a drip pan on flared bases (2) h.13.5cm. The trumpet base candlestick was a form unique to England from the mid to late 17th century. Its simplistic practical and almost abstract form has given it an enduring popularity. The two offered here are unsual through their survival as a pair and in addition to their decorative ribbed stems they are also of a diminutive size. For a matched pair with similar dimensions see; The Clive Sherwood Collection sold these rooms 22nd May 2002 lot 20. W

Lot 1

Property from the Collection of the late Mrs Shelagh Krivine A rare William and Mary oak boarded mural cupboard probably Monmouthshire/Welsh Borders dated 1698 the door also with initials 'M.C' the front with punchwork decoration the interior with later shelves and floor h.67cm. w.63.5cm. d.23m. Victor Chinnery Oak Furniture The British Tradition Woodbridge 1979 p. 330 fig. 3:290 3:291 and 3:292. Illustrates three examples of similar arched form. Chinnery suggests the English/Welsh borders and Monmouthshire as a possible area of origin. The use of a single riven plank bent to create a single top and sides is very unusual and this factor would relate to a shared geographical origin. The example here is interesting as the carved date is one of the earliest. There are examples in National Collections; one with the National Trust at Cwmmau Farm Brilley Herefordshire and another dated 1716 at the National Museum of Wales Cardiff. Sotheby's sold another fine example; Groombridge Place Kent September 15th 1992 lot 75. à W

For another American ladderback armchair without these whale motifs see Victor Chinnery Oak Furniture The British Tradition Woodbridge 1979 p. 522 fig. 4.253. Wallace Nutting Furniture of the Pilgrim Century Dover 1965 Vol. 1 p. 271 pl. 485 illustrates a similar chair which he writes originates from Connecticut. Broke Jobe and Myrna Kaye New England Furniture: The Colonial Era Boston 1984 p. 312 item. 79 illustrate and discuss another 'slat-back' armchair which originates from Eastern Massachusetts with similar scrolled arms and flattened bobbin mouldings to its stretcher rails. The eastern sea board of New England has a strong whaling tradition with centres such as Nantucket famously associated with this industry. The naively carved representations of a Sperm Whale to each arm of this chair are very unusual but relate closely to a folk art tradition associated with whaling and usually evidenced in scrimshaw work.
