Lot 269
Attributed to A.W.N. Pugin. A mid 19th century Reformed Gothic oak breakfront open bookcase, probably made by J.G.Crace, with crocheted finials to the frieze, fitted with adjustable open shelves, flanked by stop-chamfered and fish-scale pattern pilasters, the wing sections inset with linenfold side panels, the bracket feet with foliate and berry carved spandrels, W.7ft 10in.Literature: The design of this bookcase bears similarities to a pen and ink sketch, E.1551-1912, in the Victoria & Albert Museum, by A.W.N. Puginwhich he describes as 'Winged bookcase; china; books'. The cornice, fish scale pilasters and carved spandrels to the bracket feet are very similar although his design incorporates doors with linenfold panels. Another Pugin design for a dwarf bookcase, museum no. E.1552-1912, has similar linenfold side panels and stop-chamfered pilasters.

Attributed to A. W. N. Pugin (1812-52). A mid 19th century Reformed Gothic oak writing table, supplied by John Webb and possibly made by J.G.Crace, with detachable leather inset top, fixed by turn keys or buttons (some lacking), on fish-scale carved and collared hexagonal twin end supports, the chamfered sledge carved feet with Tudor rose roundels, united by a central chamfered stretcher, W.4ft 6in.Provenance: This table came from Horsted Place, Sussex, built for Francis Barchard by George Myers, A. W. N. Pugin's builder, according to the contract for the house to the design of Samuel Daukes. It is probable, however that the house was to some extent designed by A. W. N. Pugin. The furniture of the house was supplied by John Webb of 13 George Street, Hanover Square; it is possible, however, that Webb acted as a middleman and obtained the Gothic furniture at Horsted from the firm of J. G. Crace, who normally executed Pugin's designs, and may have had some furniture by him in stock at the time of his death in 1852.Victorian and Edwardian Decorative Art: The Handley-Read Collection. Ed. Simon Jarvis. London: Royal Academy, 1972. Nos. B6, pp. 24Literature:Compare a pen and ink design by A.W.N. Pugin for a card table in the Victoria & Albert Museum E.1537-1912 which features identical fish-scale twin end supports. These designs for a card table are on one of 11 sheets of designs by Pugin for internal decoration and furniture for Henry Sharples at Oswald Croft, Bishop Eton near Liverpool Pugin's designs were to be executed by J.C. Crace of the Crace firm for the owner Henry Sharples in 1847.Among other original designs by A.W.N. Pugin in the Victoria & Albert Museum are tables with detachable tops. One pen and ink drawing, museum no. E.1628-1912, is inscribed 'top fastened by oak buttons' which may be similar to the fixings on the detachable top of this table.
