OF GRAND TOUR INTEREST - A George IV amboyna, rosewood and rosewood marquetry table with an Italian early 19th century specimen marble and hardstone top The specimen top 1810-1820, the table 1820-1825 and possibly by William Atkinson The circular top with an overhanging lappet clasped moulded edge, inset with a circular marble slab comprised of a central malachite roundel encompassed by six concentric circles incorporating a total of one hundred and forty radiating segments of assorted marbles, hardstones and minerals, each segment within black marble tablet surrounds, the specimens apparently including: porphyry, porfido verde antico, jaune brocatello, rouge incarnat, Sicilian jasper, val d'aosta, pietra paesina, granito antico, lumachella, alabastro, rouge griotte, agate, onyx, portasanta, rouge languedoc, portoro, breccia taccagnina, petit antique, occhio di pavone and lapis lazuli, within a verde antico border, above a frieze inlaid with floral and foliate tendril inlay interspersed by six lappeted rosette applied block angles, three of the blocks with pendant lotus-leaf wrapped baluster shaped urn finials below, on three scrolled acanthus headed, acanthus wrapped and scrolled foliate carved monopodiae terminating in lion paw feet, the concave tripartite plinth base surmounted by a central stiff leaf clasped and knopped urn finial, each facade of the base inlaid with an ivy, honeysuckle and waved foliate tendril trail, terminating in three lotus leaf and scrolled honeysuckle carved scrolled corbel feet with recessed brass castors, approximate diameter of the inset specimen marble and hardstone top: 78cm; approximate diameter of the table top: 98cm; 75cm high approximately. Footnotes: Provenance The present lot was donated to the Tudor Lodge of Rifle Volunteers, No. 1838 by a former member of this Lodge, reputedly some time during the 1930s. The name of the donor who gifted the table to the lodge is not known, but it is believed that the member was a doctor or surgeon, who when moving house had no room to display it in his smaller residence. Since that time the table has remained as a display piece at the Tudor Lodge until only very recently. This Masonic Hall, which was established in 1879, is located in Wolverhampton, West Midlands (formerly Staffordshire). The lodge was consecrated in 1879 and its original members were officers in the local Wolverhampton militia tasked with maintaining lawful order within the area. The wonderful Italian early 19th century specimen marble and hardstone top which is inset into the offered table is of the exact same design as one which surmounted a Regency mahogany or padouk centre table sold in these rooms last year, Bonhams, New Bond Street, 29 November 2022, Fine Decorative Arts, lot 15. This is also the case with reference to the specimen marble slab forming the top of a rosewood centre table, dated circa 1820 and attributed to Gillows, which sold Christie's, London, 22 January 2009, Lord St. Helens and Sir William Fitzherbert, The Collections of a Diplomat and a Courtier, lot 550. Importantly each one of these three models incorporate a total of 141 different specimen segments organised in the exact same radiating pattern. During the early 19th century, a dealer called François de Sanctis, whose operation was based in Rome, was one of a number of retailers who sold colourful specimen table tops, just like the present model, to his largely 'Grand Tour' clients. One such top was evidently purchased from de Sanctis by R.W. Bland of Belfast. In 1826 this comparable was then exported from Leghorn. However, interestingly the documentation which accompanied this particular table top referenced the fact that it had in fact been made in Florence in 1817 and was inscribed: 'Pietre in Tavola Rotunda, Firenze'. It sold Christie's, New York, 29 January 1994, lot 305. Another closely related top is housed within the collection of what was formerly known as the London Geological Museum, but which has since been amalgamated with the Natural History Museum. This is very similar to the present example with a conforming lapis lazuli central medallion whilst a total of thirty-two of the different marble specimens therein have since been identified, one must assume by the Museum itself. A further Gillows table connected to the aforementioned Christie's models of this type, albeit one possibly commissioned by the Marquess of Zetland for St. Nicholas after he purchased the estate in 1813, sold from the collection of the late Lady Serena James, St. Nicholas, Richmond, Yorkshire, Christie's London, 16 May 2001, lot 260. A Regency brass inlaid brown oak centre table attributed to George Bullock (c.1777-1818), which has very closely comparable inlay to its top as appears on the offered lot, sold Christie's, London, 14 June 2001, Important English Furniture, lot 176. This specific inlay design also features on a teapoy possibly supplied to the Portuguese ambassador to London, Don Pedro de Souza e Holstein, 1st Duke of Palmella (d.1850), which sold Christie's, London, 6 July, lot 43. The pattern for the inlay on these related pieces, comprised of almost identical meandering English flowers and foliage to those on the present example, forms part of the collection known as the Wilkinson tracings. These tracings are the most important source relating to the output of George Bullock, and are housed at the City Museums and Art Gallery, Birmingham. They are compiled together in what is essentially a scrapbook comprising an assortment of engravings produced by Thomas Wilkinson either directly from or based upon designs by Bullock. This was evidently done in 1820 (which is the date of the inscription on its first page), and this is significant since it was two years after the latter's death, C. Wainwright et al, G. Bullock, Cabinet-Maker, 1988, London, pp.'s 13-14. Aside from the furniture made as part of the commissions undertaken at Tew, Cholmondeley, Blair Castle, Abbotsford, Scone and St. Helena, it is actually difficult to attribute any furniture directly to Bullock due to the limited archival evidence proving his involvement in other projects. This issue tends to be exacerbated by the fact that even only shortly after Bullock's death in 1818, a group of cabinet makers, furniture designers and architects, who were all influenced greatly by Bullock's output, appeared to establish themselves rapidly as his natural successors. These figures include Joseph Gandy, Richard Brown, George Morant,  the partnership of Banting and Son, and Richard Bridgens. There is a possibility that the above table might have been made by one of the last three figures or firms. However it seems possible, due to its fairly restrained design and prominent use of Wilkinson pattern inlays, to have been supplied either by Bullock's workshop (since it's recorded that this was still operating in the same capacity even a couple of years after his death), or it was instead executed by the cabinet maker William Atkinson. While Gandy and Brown were primarily architects, Bridgens tended to principally produce furniture in what he described as the 'Old English' style, which is often referred to as either 'Antiquarian' or somewhat disparagingly as 'Jacobethan revival'. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

KITCHENER HERBERT: (1850-1916) 1st Earl Kitchener. Irish-born British Field Marshal and colonial administrator.

Photograph by Shibata of Tokyo. Signed by the six in dark fountain pen inks to a light area at the base of the image, some adding their ranks alongside their signatures.

About VG Kitchener served as Commander-in-Chief, India, from 1902-09 and had been promoted to the highest army rank of Field Marshal in September 1909. As part of a tour to Australia and New Zealand Kitchener visited China and Japan and it was at the latter that he and his staff were treated as official guests of the nation; a palace at Tokyo was set aside for their use, a ceremonial reception was accorded to them and an invitation to attend the Imperial Manoeuvres was pressed on them. It was on the occasion of the Imperial Grand Japanese Manoeuvres that the present photograph was taken.
