Lot 143
A pair of very large mahogany library bergeresin the Regency style, after Charles Heathcote Tatham and Thomas HopeEach with an outscrolled and dished leaf-carved back above standing griffin-form end supports, with outstretched feather carved wings, terminating in animalistic legs and lion paw feet, 109cm wide x 120cm deep x 119cm high, (42 1/2in wide x 47in deep x 46 1/2in high) (2)Footnotes:Although of recent manufacture, the offered bergeres are after a Regency oak model reputedly supplied to John Aylmer, Courtown House, County Kildare in Ireland, circa 1815, which sold Christie's, London, 7 June 2011, 500 Years Decorative Arts Europe, lot 479. This in turn was most likely inspired by drawings and designs produced by Charles Heathcote Tatham (1772-1842) and Thomas Hope (1769-1831). Three such influential drawings of ancient consular seats, or throne chairs, executed by C.H. Tatham while on the Grand Tour and dating to 1795 and 1799 respectively, are illustrated in Thomas Hope, Regency Designer, ed. by D. Watkin and P. Hewat-Jaboor, 2008, New York, pp.'s 58 & 377, fig.'s 4-1 & 67-1. For further comparison see the Coade stone seat, circa 1800, originally in the picture gallery at Thomas Hope's Duchess Street property, but now at Parham House in Sussex, Ibid, p. 70, fig. 4-16. Whilst a carved mahogany sofa end dating to circa 1802, which is believed to have belonged to Thomas Hope, also appears Ibid p. 377, fig. 67. This itself is virtually identical to the sofa ends which feature in a design for the third vase room from Thomas Hope's major 1807 publication, Household Furniture, Ibid, p. 33, fig. 2-14.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.

Lot 167
A Regency rosewood and brass inlaid library table attributed to GillowsCirca 1820, with line-inlay, the gilt tooled leather inset top above six short opposing mahogany-lined frieze drawers, with stylised foliate strapwork inlaid angles, on vertical end supports headed with scrolled foliate corbels, terminating in scrolled scallop shell capped and acanthus carved lion paw feet with recessed brass castors, with a ring turned baluster cross stretcher, 168cm wide x 99cm deep x 74cm high, (66in wide x 38 1/2in deep x 29in high)Footnotes:An early Gillows model of end support comparable to that on the present table, with its opposing upper and lower scrolled corbels combined with paw feet, can be found on a design for one of two rosewood sofa tables made for John Gladstone Esq. This drawing which appears in the Estimate Sketch Books, dated 13 April 1813, is also illustrated in S.E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol I, 2008, Woodbridge, p. 265, pl. 270.Another drawing, dated 5 September 1821, for a similar rosewood library table to the offered lot likewise features in Gillows' Sketch Books, p. 3126, City of Westminster Archives. Evidently this particular example, which was commissioned by Mr Earle, was most likely executed by the Gillows firm at approximately the same time as the above.Further related sofa tables feature in one of Gillow & Co.'s plans for a library layout, which was provided for H.J. Thompson in 1830, while the business was located at 176 Oxford Street, Ibid, Vol II, 2008, Woodbridge, p.352, pl's. E9 & E10.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.
