A Regency ormolu mounted rosewood and parcel gilt breakfront low cabinet attributed to Marsh and TathamCirca 1810The superstructure with a breakfront upper tier, on four gilt bronze octagonal ring turned baluster shaped front columns, with a triple moulded panelled back comprised of one long central and two short end panels, each inset with intersecting waved grills and later pleated silk material, the top above an ovolo moulded cornice, over a frieze mounted with four ribbon wrapped and ribbon tied ivy wreath angles, with one large central panelled door inset with waved grills and later pleated silk, flanked by two smaller conforming doors, two of the doors enclosing one long fixed shelf and two short adjustable shelves, one end door enclosing six graduated solid mahogany drawers each with inset brass handles, interspersed with four panel mounted pilasters each headed by a lotus-leaf capital mount, terminating in a plinth base, with a triple chamfered panelled back, approximately: 153cm wide x 56cm deep x 119cm high, (60in wide x 22in deep x 46 1/2in high)Footnotes:A related pair of low bookcases attributed to Marsh and Tatham sold Christie's, London, 14 June 2001, Important English Furniture, lot 174. They have essentially identical laurel wreath and lotus-leaf paired ormolu mounts to those on the offered lot. All three of these cabinets, despite being of English origin, are clearly examples of the ancient Grecian inspired French Neoclassicism which was first promulgated in France during the 1790s. This style was then subsequently promoted in England, at the very beginning of the 1800s, by the then Prince of Wales (later to be George IV) in tandem with the renowned collector and connoisseur, Thomas Hope (d. 1831).The present cabinet, along with the aforementioned models, are each mounted with wreath ornamentation typically representing Apollo, the ancient Greek god of poetry, music and the arts. However, the pairing of pilasters headed by palm-flowered or lotus-leaf ormolu work with these distinctive wreath mounts is most likely a reference to the grecian choragic monument of Thrasyllus, which appears illustrated in J. Stuart and N. Revett, The Antiquities of Athens, 1762. Importantly, almost identical gilt bronze adorned pilasters are a prominent element on a satinwood desk provided in 1811 for Carlton House in London, upon behalf of the Prince of Wales. This was executed by the renowned cabinet making partnership of William Marsh and Thomas Tatham, see W.H. Pyne, Carlton House, 1817 and J. O'Brien & D. Guinness, Great Irish Houses and Castles, 1992, London, p. 161.The particularly well defined and highly detailed mounts on the offered model were almost certainly produced by Alexis Decaix (d.1811), who was a French bronze-founder based on Old Bond Street. Decaix supplied ormolu upon behalf of the then Prince of Wales (later George IV) and in turn gained recognition in large part due to the hugely influential collector and designer, Thomas Hope, via the latter's 1807 publication, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration.Similar gilt bronze wreath mounts also feature on a desk provided for Hothfield Place in Kent, which was home to the 9th Earl of Thanet. This desk sold Christie's, 27 November 1969, lot 142. Closely related palms or lotus leaves, as appear on the above, are among the ormolu mounts adorning the yew wood bookcases made in 1806 by the firm of Marsh and Tatham for the Prince of Wales. One of these bookcases sold Christie's, 3 July 1997, lot 70. Such Grecian ornament, which was often favoured by Marsh and Tatham, drew its more recent inspiration from the Neoclassical furniture housed at the Duchess Street property belonging to Thomas Hope, as well as from the latter's designs. Another rosewood bookcase, made in 1806 by Marsh and Tatham, which has similar ormolu mounts to both the present and aforementioned examples, is one forming part of the Royal Collection, Buckingham Palace. This appears illustrated in M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture, 1795-1820, 1948, Glasgow, fig. 11, p. 64.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP 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.

A good early 19th century carved white marble chimneypiece in the Greek Revival style In the manner of John Charles Felix Rossi RA (Anglo-Italian, 1762-1839) The breakfront acanthus moulded shelf above a projecting deep figural frieze depicting the victory of Alexander the Great over the Darius, the jambs formed as female caryatids clad in classical drapery with stiff leaf capitals to their heads, on shallow square block plinth bases, 131cm high, 161cm wide, 25cm deep, the inner aperture, 92cm high, 85cm wide, all approximately overall Footnotes: The revival of interest in Greek architecture in the early 19th century is reflected in design of the present lot which by the use of full length figural Caryatid supports can be perhaps attributed to the sculptor Charles Rossi. Charles Rossi was the son of an Italian immigrant. Born in Nottingham he was apprenticed to the Italian sculptor Giovanni Battista Locatelli (Italian, 1734-1805), completing his apprenticeship in 1781. He entered the Royal Academy School the same year and was awarded a travelling scholarship which enabled him to live in Rome between 1786 and 1788. Returning to England, Rossi worked briefly for the Derby china works and the clockmaker Vulliamy in 1789-90 before establishing himself as a sculptor. In the 1790s he produced large works with the mason-sculptor John Bingley and executed church commissions, graduating to major commissions, including four government commissions for memorials to military heroes of the French wars for St Paul's Cathedral. In 1797 he was appointed as sculptor to the Prince of Wales and subsequently as sculptor-in-ordinary to George IV and to William IV. Between 1819 and 1822 Rossi and his son Henry were contracted to make the door surrounds, capitals, and other terracotta architectural decorations for William and Henry William Inwood's Greek revival St Pancras New Church. They were paid £4300 for the work and a contemporary report described the terracotta used for the capitals as 'a modern composition of Mr. Rossi's invention, which it is hoped will rival in firmness and durability the same description of material of the ancients'. The decorations included two sets of caryatids modelled on those at the Erechtheum in Athens which were built up in sections cemented around structural cast-iron columns.
