Lot 105
A George III carved giltwood girandole mirror in the manner of John Bradburn and William France, circa 1765, with triple candle arms, the cartouche-shaped moulded frame with carved foliate scrollwork, supporting a spray of leafy fronds surmounted by a shell motif, the base similarly carved with festoons and drops of husks, the scrolled candle arms with drip-pans and nozzles in cast and chased gilt-metal, re-gilded, 150cm high, 86cm wide In the gallery of Aske Hall, the Yorkshire estate purchased by Sir Lawrence Dundas Bt (1712 - 1781) in 1763 and the present seat of the 4th Marquess of Zetland, hang a pair of girandole mirrors of almost the same design as the present mirror. It is known that Sir Lawrence Dundas commissioned more than one cabinet-maker to help him furnish his various houses and Robert Adam probably helped him to make his choice. Amongst the small number of eminent eighteenth century craftsmen, who were busy working on houses such as 19 Arlington Street, Sir Lawrence Dundas's London house and his equally important country house at Moore Park, was the highly successful partnership of John Bradburn and William France. John Bradburn (d. 1781) had a carving shop in Hemmings Yard in St Martin's Lane from 1758. He and his partner, William France (d. 1774) had been working for the cabinet-maker partnership of William Vile and John Cobb for Anthony Chute at The Vyne, Hampshire, before both were employed by the Royal household at Buckingham Palace. William France was joined by John Bradburn on work invoiced to Sir Lawrence Dundas soon after July 1764. It is interesting to note that the entry in France's June 1764 accounts to Sir Lawrence which states: "For 2 elegant carved Girandoles with a large plate of glass, and 3 lights in each to shew the glass, festoons and drops of husks falling from Different parts all gilt in burnished gold at £28 6s £56 12s." In his article 'Some Rococo Cabinet-Makers and Sir Lawrence Dundas', Apollo, September 1967, Anthony Coleridge states of these mirrors that William France's invoice seems to correspond in every detail to the pair of mirrors now in the Gallery at Aske and it would therefore be reasonable to suppose that these are the ones supplied by Bradburn and France. This being the case, the mirror here described is of such a similar design, differing only minutely in a few unimportant details, to suggest that this mirror may also possibly be from the workshop of William France. Another pair are recorded in France and Bradburn's joint account of 21st December 1764 with a charge of £97 12s. These magnificent girandoles, photographed hanging in the ground-floor front parlour of 19 Arlington Street in Country Life, 17th September 1921, pp.350-355, fig.7, were sold by Mallett in 2003.Please Note: Two carved elements from the sides of this mirror frame are not present with this lot.
Lot 105A
A set of eight George III parcel gilt chairs , attributed to Francois Hervé and almost certainly supplied by Henry Holland, each with a husk and guilloche-carved oval caned back and serpentine seat, the rails centred by fluted tablets flanked by roundels, on turned tapering fluted legs with stiff-leaf toupie feet, with minor restoration , 97cm high, 55cm wide, 59cm deep Provenance : Supplied to George John, 2nd Earl Spencer (1758-1834) either for Spencer House, London or Althorp, Northamptonshire and thence by descent Sold Chrisite's The Spencer House Sale , 8 July 2010, lot 1055. Literature : Albert Edward John, 7th Earl Spencer (1892-1975), Althorp, Furniture, Vol. 1, circa 1937 and later P. Thornton and J. Hardy, 'The Spencer Furniture at Althorp', Apollo, October 1968, p. 270, fig.8. These `cabriolet chairs form part of a suite of at least seventeen. They relate to chairs by Hervé supplied for Chatsworth in 1782 which were conceived in a more `transitional style . Interestingly Hervé restricted himself to chair-making and sometimes caning, whereas the `japanned ornament and gilding was outsourced. A bill presented to Spencer s brother-in-law the 5th Duke of Devonshire by Bickley in 1782 included `japanned seven dozen backstools cane colour (see I. Hall, `A neoclassical episode at Chatsworth , The Burlington Magazine, vol. 122, June 1980, pp. 400-414, fig. 39). The `Curator 7th Earl recorded that ` many of these chairs had been put away in the stables and were gilded and covered in silk in 1877/78 .'
