A RARE WILLIAM IV PARROT COAL OCCASIONAL TABLE BY R. MARTIN, DATED '1836' the rectangular top on a faceted stem and quatreform base, signed and dated to the underside of the top 75.8cm high, 68.7cm wide, 47.3cm deep Provenance David and Paula Newman, London / Eastbourne. Literature See Furniture History, Volume 23, 1987, pp.35-38 for an article by David Jones titled 'Coal Furniture in Scotland'. Catalogue Note Parrot coal is a geological formation dating back to the Carboniferous period. The term 'parrot' refers to the chattering noise it makes when it is burnt. It was used during the 19th century to produce furniture as it has similar characteristics to marble. The West Wemyss Colliery in Fife is well known for the excavation of parrot coal and tables and other objects made by the stonemason Thomas Williamson were exhibited at the Great Exhibition in 1851. A similar table was sold by Mallams, Cheltenham in 2011.

A RARE GEORGE II CHANNEL ISLANDS POLYCHROME PAINTED PINE CHEST ON STAND GUERNSEY, C.1750 painted with tulips and other flowers and leaves on a blue / green ground, the hinged top revealing a till, above two long drawers, the stand with a further drawer, on square section cabriole legs, the sides with traces of original sponged decoration 118.6cm high, 103cm wide, 53.5cm deep Provenance Martel Maides Auctions, Guernsey, 28th November 2002, lot 209. Literature Regional Furniture Society Newsletter, Summer 1994, No. 20, p. 10. Regional Furniture Society Newsletter, Autumn 2011, No. 55, pp.3-4. Catalogue Note This rare painted 'dower' chest belongs to a small group of similar known examples. In his article in the Regional Furniture Society Newsletter, Summer 1994, Christopher Gilbert suggests that the possible origin for the painted design lies in 'the ornamental nail patterns on leather covered trunks in vogue on the Channel Islands c.1680-1760.' The use of tulips and carnations representing love and betrothal has a long tradition in Europe and Gilbert suggested Frisian or Baltic inspiration for the decoration. In his article in the Regional Furniture Society Newsletter No.55, Autumn 2011, John Vost pointed to the similarities between painted furniture in America, particularly New Jersey and Pennsylvania and the Channel Island chests. He also speculated that these chests, wherever they appear, either on the Channel Islands, London or America, there is evidence of a Huguenot or Calvinist population. Related examples include: a chest sold at Sotheby's, The Tristram Jellinek Collection, 9th & 10th May 1996, lot 306, another example dated '1754' originally sold at Sotheby's, Sussex, 1990, lot 223 now in the Guernsey Museum & Art Gallery Collection, St. Peter Port, Guernsey.
