A William IV mahogany davenport by Johnstone and Jeanesalmost certainly after designs by GillowsCirca 1835, with mahogany-lined drawers, the sliding brass galleried top above a hinged gilt-tooled leather inset writing slope, enclosing two short drawers, over a hinged stationery drawer and a slide to one end, with four opposing long graduated drawers, on lobed bun feet and recessed brass castors, the top drawer stamped: 'JOHNSTONE & JEANES, 67 NEW BOND STREET, LONDON', 57cm wide x 56cm deep x 84cm high, (22in wide x 22in deep x 33in high)Footnotes:The firm of Johnstone and Jeanes was established in London, circa 1840, and traded from premises at 67 New Bond Street. Prior to that time, Johnstone had been in partnership with Robert Jupe, the latter of whom patented the renowned Capstan extending dining table (widely referred to as 'Jupe patent' tables) in circa 1835, C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture, 1700-1840, 1996, Leeds, p. 35.The present lot relates to a number of Gillow designs for davenports which are illustrated in the Gillows Estimate Sketch Books for entries therein during the 1820s and 1830s. Included among these is a comparable design for a davenport, which was ordered in 1830 by Ferguson and Co. (the Oxford Street partners of the Gillows firm then) for Thomas Myers. This particular drawing features in S.E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol II, 2008, Woodbridge, pl. 567, p. 31 (ref. 344/102). One further example of a similar Gillows davenport, dating to 1825-1835, which is from Leighton Hall and is stamped: 'GILLOWS.LANCASTER' appears Ibid, pl. 568, p. 32.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue. Please note transfer and storage charges will apply to any lots not collected after 14 calendar days from the auction date.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A George IV rosewood writing table attributed to Gillows1825-1830, the rounded rectangular tooled leather inset and gadroon moulded top above a frieze with a beaded lower edge, on reeded and ring turned baluster end supports, with lobed collars and beaded bipartite bases terminating in leaf capped and acanthus carved scroll feet, on recessed brass castors, remnants of an old paper label to the underside apparently inscribed in pencil: 'Col... (?)', 108cm wide x 56cm deep x 71cm high, (42 1/2in wide x 22in deep x 27 1/2in high)Footnotes:Several designs for related library and writing tables feature in the Gillow Estimate Sketch Books throughout the 1820s. A virtually identical example to the offered lot is illustrated in S.E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol. I, 2008, Woodbridge, pl. 311, p. 292. This closely comparable version which is stamped: 'GILLOWS.LANCASTER', together with the present model, conform to a Gillow's design dated November 1827 which appears in the Estimate Sketch Books.A similar 'library' table which is also stamped: 'GILLOWS.LANCASTER', albeit one with two drawers, sold Bonhams, New Bond Street, 26 November 2008, Fine English Furniture and Works of Art, lot 179. Another related rosewood library table also attributed to Gillows, as with the offered lot, sold Sotheby's, London, 7 March 2007, The Estate of Christian, Lady Hesketh, lot 171. Generally it appears to be the case that the slightly larger tables, which unlike the offered variant seem to incorporate one or two frieze drawers, are referred to as 'library' tables whereas it is evident that the above should perhaps more accurately be referred to as a writing table.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
