Lot 171
Portrait of the Coleridge Daughters, Audrey Jane (1878-1922) and Phyllis (1883-1950) both seated on a yellow sofa, looking at a picture book Oil on Canvas 110.5 x 141cm(43 1/2 x 55 1/2in.) Provenance : From The Chanter's House collection of Lord Coleridge and a Coleridge family Trust Given the ages of the two young girls, this intimate double portrait is likely to have been painted between 1885-1888. The artist provides a sense of domesticity within the limited space of the picture, suggested by the pastoral scene on the 18th century screen behind the two sitters, the doll's house and flowers beside them and a story book, possibly a fairy tale, which they are in the process of reading. The picture book, which is partially obscured by Audrey's hand, appears to depict a bear and cubs. The artist explores various interesting themes within this work, including maternity, protection, love and imagination, and is thus a quite touching illustration of childhood and the connection between sisters.

Ω A large Regency mahogany circular extending dining table in the manner of George Bullock , early 19th century, the finely figured top with four semi-elliptical additional leaves decorated with foliate ebony marquetry, attached with numbered pull out supports all above a four column base on turned feet joined by a shaped plinth, with further floral carving and motifs, 71cm high, 232cm diameter with leaves, 155cm diameter without leaves Related tables include an expanding circular dining table with four supports at Wentbridge House, Yorkshire, in the collection at Temple Newsam House, Leeds, illustrated in C. Gilbert, Furniture at Temple Newsam House and Lotherton Hall, Leeds, 1978, no. 413; a table with a similar concave-sided plinth sold Sotheby s London, 2 June 2000, lot 156. A further almost identical table was offered Christie s London, 22 November 2007, lot 700. Both the distinctive monumental base with its central finial and the bold ebony marquetry inner border to the leaves epitomise the work of the leading Regency cabinet-maker George Bullock (d. 1818), who established his Piccadilly `Grecian Rooms in 1812 before also opening a `tasteful repostitory at 4 Tenterden Street, Hanover Square, London. The latter premises were highly commended in Rudolph Ackermann s The Repository of Arts for their magnificent `British Oak furniture and the ebony foliate border here relates to that on a sofa designed by Bullock in Ackermann s Repository of Arts, 1817, pl. 93. The style of the marquetry also has affinities with `Tracings by Thomas Wilkinson, from designs of the late George Bullock 1820 , now known as the Wilkinson Tracings which were acquired by the City Museum and Art Gallery of Birmingham in 1974 (see Clive Wainwright et. al., George Bullock Cabinet Maker, 1988). Two `Jupe patent dining tables with the a very similar pattern of base are recorded in the dining room at Mottisfont Priory (see H. Avray Tipping, `Mottisfont Priory, Hampshire , Country Life, 19 November 1921, p. 656, fig. 9).
