A Howard & Sons Oregon pine wall cabinet, with faux-bamboo mouldings, stamped to one door 'Howard and Sons, Berner St' 71 x 64 x 23½cm (28 x 25 x 9in) Howard & Sons was one of the most successful and fashionable furniture companies of the 19th century. Founded in 1820 by John Howard, they moved to premises in Berners Street, London, W1 in 1848 trading as "cabinet makers, upholsterers and decorators". They obtained patents for wood veneer used for parquet flooring and in 1866 obtained a patent for an "elastic seat'" - a re-design of traditional upholstery for sofa and armchairs and for which they became best known. Their furniture won medals at International Exhibitions throughout Europe and notable commissions included Sudbury Hall, Elton Hall and Stokesay Court. In the 1890s they were commissioned to provide the furnishings for Mr Vanderbilt's steam yacht and at the turn of the century they received the Royal Warrant. Examples of their furniture can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Lacking a gallery back

Follower of Jan Abrahamsz Beerstraten (Dutch, 1622-1666) Winter - with Skaters on a Frozen Lake and Peasants Chopping Wood oil on canvas 105 x 103cm (41 x 40in) Provenance: Hinwick House, Bedfordshire, and by descent. The present painting is possibly an overdoor panel from a series of the Seasons. Hinwick House, the seat of the Orlebar family, was featured in an article in Country Life in 1960 which included many photographs of the interior of the house. Lined canvas. Additions have been made along the top of the canvas, but the paint covering the two parts appears to be consistent - may need further investigation to be certain. Lower canvas has visible cusping at upper edge and may well have something underneath - impossible to tell without further technical examination. Losses in paint layer along the seam. Degraded and yellowed varnish present on the surface, which has delaminated in areas - this makes the surface difficult to read but it seems likely there are areas of retouching across the surface. Frame is very slight with losses to gilding and abrasion.
