Cross vault keystone; Gothic; 14th century.Carved limestone.It has slight damage caused by the passage of time.Measurements: 90 x 60 cm.Keystone of a ribbed vault made of limestone. This type of architectural element was common during the Gothic period, as ribbed or ribbed vaults made it possible to raise the ceilings in height and unload the weights in order to introduce large openings. The importance of the central voussoirs or keystones, such as this piece, was fundamental as their role was to distribute the weights. In this case, the piece stands out for its delicate carving as ornamentation, in which the Virgin is represented as the throne of the Child, accompanied by two musical angels. During this period the representation of the Virgin Mary is no more than the seat of divinity; she is not presented as the mother of God, so there is no affective relationship between her and the Child. In fact, at this time the Virgin is not yet an important figure in the Church. The carving shows the couple formed by the Virgin and Child on her lap. It is a carving that follows the typology of the "Sede Sapientiae" or "Throne of Wisdom". Mary, seated facing the viewer, acts as the throne, the seat of Christ, the supreme incarnation of Wisdom. No emotional communication of any kind is established between the two figures, but rather the majesty, the regal aspect of both figures is encouraged. It was also common in Gothic carvings to present the Child blessing and holding a sphere, a symbol of the totality, of the Universe, which would allude to his condition of "Salvator mundi". Mary, on the other hand, is dressed in a long tunic and cloak that fall in symmetrical folds to the ground. A veil covers her hair, framing her serene and harmonious face. She originally held a sphere in her right hand, although in this case it must allude to the apple of Original Sin. In Christian exegesis, if Eve was the introducer of Sin, Mary is its counter-figure, through whom salvation comes to the human race, thanks to her son, Jesus. Formally, the delicate workmanship stands out, in addition to the vegetal motifs carved on the outer perimeter.

Ornamental fountain; Limoges, France, 16th-17th century.Enamelled copper.Measurements: 51 x 37 cm.Ornamental fountain made in the Limoges enamel workshops, with a copper base and a rich enamelled decoration that follows the technique of painted enamel, based on a wide chromatic palette. The seat houses a large figurative scene depicting Adam and Eve in Paradise under the Tree of Wisdom. This is the precise moment when Eve takes the apple offered to her by the Devil, disguised as a serpent with the torso, head and wings of an angel. Around them is a vast landscape worked in great depth, an idyllic natural setting in which we see all kinds of animals and creatures in freedom, including a mermaid in the distant waters, raising her hand in greeting to the viewer. The eaves feature typically mannerist decorations in multiple colours, particularly gold, on a black background. It alternates medallions with portraits, a typical motif of the Mannerist ornamental repertoire, with figures of child angels, gems, cartouches, faces in profile and small flowers. The piece is also entirely enamelled on the back, with a portrait in profile on the seat, framed by a typically Mannerist cartouche that is highly ornamental, with classical tutti, exotic birds, etc. The eaves are decorated with mascarons, flowers, turnstones, vases and other motifs, forming a typical 16th-century 'raffaelleschi' composition.The Limoges workshop appeared in the last quarter of the 12th century and continued its activity until the 14th century. It flourished again in the 15th century with the new technique of painted enamel. It became the most important enamel workshop, ahead of Rhineland and Meuse, which disappeared in the 12th century and were devoted to the production of individual plates on commission, which were then mounted on an object or joined together to form altar frontals. In Limoges, on the other hand, the production of objects, no longer just plaques, decorated with enamels for religious, but also secular use, began to take off. These were cheaper, copper-based pieces, which were very eye-catching due to the enamelled decoration, and therefore enjoyed enormous and immediate success throughout Europe. Limoges is also mentioned in documents, which indicates that it was an important centre known throughout Western Europe.

In England, by the mid 18th century, designs for hall chairs has appeared in Chippendale's Director as well as other contemporary design books including Robert Manwaring's The Chair-Maker's Real Friend and Companion.The plain backs of these chairs were often decorated with armorials or family crests.

A closely related set of chairs was supplied to the Earl of Dumfries for Dumfries House by Alexander Peter in 1758 and remain in situ today. The painted decoration, in their case the Crichton crest encircled by the Collar of the Order of the Thistle, is known to have been completed by John Bonnar in 1759.

Y A PAIR OF GEORGE IV ROSEWOOD AND UPHOLSTERED DAY BEDSATTRIBUTED TO GILLOWS, CIRCA 1825each 84cm high, 196cm long, 66cm deep overallProvenance: Ston Easton Park, near Bath, Somerset For a pair of related daybeds attributed to Gillows, see Sotheby's, London, Arts of Europe, 6th November 2014, Lot 265 (£32,500). For a sofa possibly by Gillows incorporating related carving to the arm rests to the daybeds seen here, see Christie's, Sotheby's, 10th July 2014, Lot 213 (£25,000). Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches, abrasions consistent with age and use.Signs of old woodworm to the frame. The frames are of solid and stable structure. There are two later corner blocks added to the rear corners of the seat rail.The covering upholstery has been removed, the day beds will need re-upholstering and some of the underlying preparatory 'filling'/ lining etc re-done in part or entirely. Most of the legs show some evidence of a single vertical split through them, this may possibly show where two parts of the legs were constructed or could equally be a straight split. These may need some attention to secure for longer term. One rear leg appears to have become divided at the meeting point/ split and has been later glued but needs to be re-done properly. There are some old losses adjacent but the leg can be solid and long lasting again if restored properly. The circular carved flowerhead roundel above one leg (at the end of the upright rest) is a later replacement and is very poorly carved. There is a fragment of loss above it. At this point there has been a straight crack through that section and some evidence of old glue there. One day-bed with later pine elements of timber underlying the upholstered sections throughout in order to support them throughout. This is less visible to the other day-bed but is likely present for the same purpose. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

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. Condition Report Disclaimer
