A GEORGE IV MAHOGANY HALL BENCHATTRIBUTED TO GEORGE BULLOCK, CIRCA 182558cm high, 89cm wide, 45cm deepFor an almost identical hall bench, see Christie's, The Collector, 23rd May 2018, Lot 110 (£18,750).This bench compares with a number of related examples by or attributed to George Bullock (d.1818). Foremost among these is the pair supplied in 1817 as part of a fully documented commission to Matthew Robinson Boulton for Tew Park, Oxfordshire, executed in oak and holly at a cost of £23.2s., and sold Christie's Tew Park sale 27 June 1987 lot 31. Another was sold from the collection of Kentshire Galleries, Sotheby's, New York, 18 October 2014, lot 328 ($20,000 including premium) and most recently another was sold Christie's, London, 19 November 2015, lot 581 (£35,000 including premium). All featured the distinctive ring-turned and fluted arms supported by uprights carved as tulip-like flowers.GEORGE BULLOCK AND HIS COLLABORATORSGeorge Bullock was considered by his contemporaries and patrons as one of the most outstanding and progressive makers of his age, though his career was cut short by his sudden death in 1818. Working from premises at Tenterden Street, London, in addition to the extensive commission at Tew Park, Bullock was requested by the future George IV in 1816 to supply suitable furniture for the Emperor Napoleon's residence in exile on the island of St. Helena, while he was also employed at Sir Walter Scott's Abbotsford, Roxburghshire, and at the Duke of Atholl's Blair Castle, Perthshire.Among Bullock's collaborators were the architects Richard Bridgens (d.1846) and Richard Brown (fl.1804-42) who not only provided Bullock with designs during his lifetime, but also did much to publicise his 'antique' taste after his death. Bridgens is credited with the design of the firm's oak parlour chairs supplied in 1818 for Abbotsford and published his Designs for Furniture with Candelabra and Interior Decoration (1824); while Brown published his Cabinet and Upholstery Furniture, 1820 (2nd ed. 1822; 3rd ed. 1835), which featured Bullock's designs for window seats such as the present lot (see Clive Wainwright et al, 'George Bullock and his circle', George Bullock, Cabinet Maker, Exhibition catalogue, 1988, pp. 13 - 39). Bullock's work was here linked with publications such as 'Mr. Hope's mythological work; Mr. [George] Smith's excellent Book of Unique Designs [1808], and [Charles] Percier's splendid French work on Interior Decoration [1801; 2nd ed. 1812]'. Condition Report: There are some marks, scratches, knocks, chips, splits and abrasions consistent with age and use.The seat is of panelled construction. The spherical finials are applied to the scalloped half roundels and there are some splits from the point where they are fixed, the underside of these have a dark stain.There are some slight variations to the shape of the turned feet. There are some chips to the lotus carved supports and it is likely that the turned end supports have been detached and re-fixed at some stage.Please refer to the additional photographs as a visual reference of condition.
