A George III mahogany breakfront library bookcase , circa 1780, in the manner of Thomas Chippendale, the moulded cornice centred by a carved twin scroll pediment, above six astragal glazed doors opening to adjustable shelves, the lower section with six panelled cupboard doors opening to a shelved interior, on a moulded plinth base, 278cm high, 380cm wide, 65cm deep Provenance: Property from the Estates of J W T & S M F Tapp, Southborough House, Surbiton Purchased from R.A Lee, (circa 1980's) Comparative Literature: Christopher Gilbert, The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, 2 vols. Anthony Coleridge, Chippendale Furniture, 1968 The present lot closely relates in design and scale to a pair of impressive bookcases, supplied by Thomas Chippendale to Sir Lawrence Dundas (1712-1781) for his library at 19 Arlington Street, Piccadilly, London (sold Christie's London, 18 June 2008, lot 6 £2,057,250) and for his country seat in Yorkshire Aske Hall in 1764. The Arlington and Aske bookcases which were invoiced at £80 and £73 respectively were the most expensive items of furniture on Chippendale's invoice to Sir Lawrence Dundas. The offered bookcase is a simplified version of the Dundas examples, lacking the carved elements to the pilasters and cupboard lower section doors. Its design incorporates an amalgamation of features, reproduced in Chippendale s patterns for a `Library Bookcase , illustrated in his Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker s Director, 1st and 3rd eds., 1754 and 1762, respectively plates 69 and 93. In particular these are the dentilled cornice and glazing-bar configuration. The scrolled and voluted pediment is also reproduced on Chippendale's pattern for 'A Desk & Bookcase' illustrated in the 1st edition of the Director, pl. 78 and again in the 3rd edition, pl. 108. Actual examples of case furniture supplied by Chippendale featuring versions of the same distinctive pediment include a secretaire library bookcase supplied for Pembroke House and now at Wilton House illustrated C. Gilbert, The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, 2 vols., vol. II, p. 42, pl. 66; another library bookcase forming part of the same commission and also now at Wilton (see C. Gilbert op. cit., p. 44, pl. 68; a secretaire bookcase at Aske Hall (see C. Gilbert op. cit., p. 56, pl. 87) and a Lady's secretaire supplied to Sir Roland Winn Bt. for Nostell Priory (see C. Gilbert op. cit., p. 58, pl. 90).

XVIII. Brown appears to have copied an unpublished design of George Bullock, who supplied a pair of bookcases of this form for New Longwood, the residence-in-exile of Napoleon, circa 1815.
