A George III satinwood, tulipwood crossbanded, purplewood and fruitwood marquetry breakfront secretaire bookcaseCirca 1785With boxwood and ebonised stringing, the repeating acroterium-form or waved ovolo cornice inlaid with flowerheads and acanthus spray angles, above one large central glazed panelled door and two smaller conforming end doors, each door encompassed by a foliate, floral and tendril trail inlaid surround, the central door enclosing two adjustable shelves, each end door enclosing three adjustable shelves, with a cedar panelled backboard, over a secretaire drawer inlaid with ribbon tied floral garlands with oval paterae and bellflower pendants, centred by a Vernis Martin oval of a reclining maiden depicted in the manner of Angelica Kauffman, enclosing seven pigeon holes, five cedar lined drawers and a gilt tooled leather surface, above three long graduated oak lined drawers, flanked to each end by a concave bay comprising one deep oak lined drawer inlaid with a bouquet of assorted flowers over one door inlaid with a husk draped fluted and reeded Neoclassical urn surmounted by an anthemion, on a foliate pedestal issuing scrolled acanthus, on six flute inlaid tapering square section feet, each end inlaid with a ribbon tied husk swag centred by a sunflower head roundel, inside one drawer is a metal plaque which reads: 'Antique Furniture from NORMAN ADAMS LTD., 8-10 Hans Road, London, SW3', approximately: 135cm wide x 48cm deep x 208cm high, (53in wide x 18 1/2in deep x 81 1/2in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceFormerly with Norman Adams Ltd., London. It is not known when the offered lot was at Norman Adams but it seems most likely that, judging from the metal plaque applied to the inside of one drawer, this was some time during the 1970s or 1980s.A very similar George III satinwood and marquetry secretaire bookcase to the offered lot, albeit with canted lower end bays as opposed to the more impressive concave ones of the present example, is illustrated in G. Beard and J. Goodison, English Furniture, 1500-1840, 1987, Oxford, fig. 6, p. 229. This piece of furniture in fact sold Christie's, London, 9 December 1971.Another closely related variant, which is dated circa 1785 and was gifted by Sir Claude Phillips to the Victoria and Albert Museum, appears in M. Tomlin, Catalogue of Adam Period Furniture, 1972, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, fig. U/13, pp.'s 180-181. The latter also features in F. Collard, Regency Furniture, 1987, Woodbridge, pl. 8, p. 68.Both of these associated models share a number of characteristics with the current version. They all have repeating acroterium-form cornices, conforming overall proportions, identical lower section configurations and similar marquetry, as well as flute-inlaid feet. The plain glazed panelled doors of the offered bookcase appear to match those on the Beard and Goodison one, whilst the inlay on the Victoria and Albert example is visibly closer, both in terms of its design and spirit, to that of the present lot than on the former comparable.Whilst the marquetry is closely related on all three bookcases, it appears to be the case that its execution is perhaps superior on the present version. This view is arguably confirmed by the fact that a large proportion of this remarkable work on the latter is inlaid onto curved, or more precisely concave, surfaces rather than flat ones, which is of course a more technically demanding feat. In addition to this, the bouquet of flowers, abundant floral garlands and Neoclassical urns all seem to have been better 'drawn' and more fully expressed than their equivalent areas on the Victoria and Albert example.However, there are a couple of elements on the offered bookcase which are either absent or different from the other two. The first are the door panel surrounds on the upper part of the present lot which have foliate tendril inlay throughout, that is lacking from the plain frames and astragals of the other upper sections. The second is the central point of the secretaire drawers. On the offered model this area is accentuated by an elegant oval Vernis Martin panel painted in the style of Angelica Kauffmann, whereas with the comparables a simpler oval patera or oval fan medallion serves as the main focus there instead.The Beard and Goodison one is almost certainly the same bookcase, albeit perhaps with replaced handles, which featured in a special exhibition hosted at Christie's, January 1973. And this is exactly the one illustrated in a catalogue commemorating the event, which is entitled Fanfare for Europe, The British Art Market, 1973, Sotheby's Publications, p. 175, and is evidently an entry from Jeremy Ltd, an antique dealer then based at 255 King's Road. It is interesting to note that a further similar cabinet or bookcase is also referred to in the text of this commemorative catalogue. At the time of publication this other variant is described therein as: 'originally forming part of the Gubbay colllection at Trent Park and now on exhibition at Clandon Park, Surrey.' Deriving from ancient architectural antecedents, the acroteria pattern cornice surmounting all of these 1780s bookcases might be a reference to similar motifs employed by both James 'Athenian' Stuart (1713-1788) and Robert Adam (1728-1792) over the course of the two preceding decades of the 18th century. Examples of such evidently include furniture provided for Lady Spencer by Stuart and the State Bed supplied to Osterley Park by Adam, Ibid, fig. U/13, p. 181.The beautiful flowing and elegant Neoclassical designs of the marquetry and their superb execution, allied to the presence of distinctive fluted feet, suggest the possibility that the better examples within this group of cabinets were perhaps executed by the renowned partnership of William Ince and John Mayhew.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
