(copyright Johnston Antiques, 2000) For related armchairs see The Knight of Glin and James Peill, Irish Furniture, Yale University, 2007, pages 206 to 208. There are many similarities between the design of the current chairs being offered and the chair back settee illustrated in figure 10 in particular (ibid). Furthermore, the chair illustrated on page 208 displays a closely related marquetry armorial panel to those currently being offered. The use of such marquetry armorial panels for a known group of furniture of the same period are discussed in the book.

Lot 62
A South German walnut serpentine fronted desk , second quarter 18 th century , the gilt tooled leather inset top above an arrangement of five drawers around the kneehole, each cast gilt metal handle incorporating the monogram A R between armorial devices and surmounted by a crown, on square section tapering cabriole legs, 79cm high, 118cm wide, 65cm deep The gilt metal handles of this desk incorporate the crowned monogram A R . It seems very likely that the initials are for Augustus Rex King Augustus II of Poland or his son Augustus III. The monogram is strikingly similar to the initials used by the Meissen porcelain factory during the same period. The Meissen AR monogram was introduced in the early part of the 18 th century. It was a special mark reserved for objects used by the court of Elector Augustus the Strong, founder of the Meissen factory and later reigning monarch of Poland, King Augustus II. The monogram was also added to pieces produced for the court of his son, Augustus III, who succeeded him in 1733. All court pieces were marked with the AR monogram, and occasionally the mark was added to gifts produced for royal visitors. Whilst impossible to conclude for certain that this desk was part of the collection of the Royal House of Saxony, it is certainly interesting to note how the details correlate. Provenance: Bequeathed by the Major Charles Henry John Chetwynd-Talbot KCVO, 20th Earl of Shrewsbury to the Hon. Mrs E. W.H. Eliot, thence by direct descent to the current owner. Copies of paperwork are available with this lot to support the provenance. The seat of the Earls of Shrewsbury was Alton Towers until it was sold in 1924.

Lot 54
Hugh Douglas Hamilton RHA (1734-1808)Portrait of Maria Susanna Ormbsy, seated holding a sketch book Oil on board, 67 X 61cm (26 x 24)Inscribed upper right 'Maria Susanna, daughter of William and Hannah Ormsby, born 1745, died 1827'Signed and dated verso '1796'This excellent portrait, painted after Hamilton’s return to Dublin from Rome is not listed by Fintan Cullen. [Oil Paintings of Hugh Douglas Hamilton, Walpole Society Vol. 50 1984] and is a welcome addition to the inventory of Hamilton’s extant portraits (1796). It re-emerged from the recent disposal of the Harlech Collection in Wales. The Ormsby-Gores, in spite of a ‘Welsh’ title and seat, represent two families from the West of Ireland who flourished in the 18th century.The subject of the present lot, Maria Susannah Ormsby was the daughter of William Ormsby M.P for Sligo and Hannah Wynne of Haselwood, County Sligo, the lovely Palladian villa designed by Richard Castle. Her brother, Owen Ormsby married (1777) Margaret Owen who came into a great Welsh estate that had been swollen by the Godolphin inheritance. Their only child and heiress Mary Jane Ormsby married (1815)William Gore, M.P. for Leitrim from a family long influential in Counties Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim. Thereafter the family became Ormsby-Gore and were subsumed into English high society with a title from the Barony of Harlech. Our subject, Maria Susannah Ormsby, died unmarried so this portrait of a charming and artistic woman remained with the Ormsby-Gores. As an observation of mature character it confirms Hugh Douglas Hamilton’s place in the top rank of European portraiture.
