A pair of William IV 'Wilkie Patent' rosewood library armchairsby John Wilkie or the firm of Wilkie and CochranCirca 1835, each with button back leather upholstery, the scrolled and dished toprail above lotus-leaf wrapped volute scroll arm supports with downswept terminals, on ring turned and lobed front legs, with square splayed rear legs, terminating in brass cappings and castors, each spring-loaded slatted metal seat support twice stamped: 'WILKIE PATENT', each approximately: 66cm wide x 62cm deep x 93cm high, (25 1/2in wide x 24in deep x 36 1/2in high) (2)Footnotes:Although the cabinet making (and especially chair making) partnership of Wilkie and Cochran is documented as working in London throughout the period 1817-c.1840, John Wilkie is also recorded as operating independently from 1817 or 1818 onwards. Wilkie's own firm was located at 1 Norfolk St, Fitzroy Sq., but it is unclear as to whether this continued alongside Wilkie and Cochran's combined enterprise, which was based at 20 Nassau St., Middlesex Hospital, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, ed. by G. Beard and C. Gilbert, Leeds, 1986, p. 975.The 'WILKIE AND COCHRAN' stamp is arguably the one most widely associated with the individual John Wilkie, however there are also a number of examples of chairs which are impressed with: 'WILKIE PATENT', as appears stamped to the top of the slatted metal seat on the offered lot.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.

[Charleton, Walter]. The Ephesian Matron, 1st edition, London: printed for Henry Herringman, 1659, 124 pp., final leaf repaired with small library stamp at foot (and to title verso), blank interleaves throughout, a little minor soiling, modern half calf, edges a little rubbed, 12moQTY: (1)NOTE:ESTC R210048; Wing C3671.Rare and curious work by the writer and philosopher Walter Charleton (1619-1707), fellow of the Royal Society, who also wrote Chorea Gigantium (1655), an attempt to demonstrate that Stonehenge was a Danish coronation site, prompting one of John Dryden's finest early poems, ‘To my Honoured Friend, Dr Charleton’ (1663).The Ephesian Matron is based on a story in Petronius’s Satyricon, 111-12. A woman from Ephesus renowned for her chastity is suddenly widowed. Grief-stricken, she determines to starve herself to death and stays for several days in her husband’s tomb with her maid. Some thieves are crucified near the tomb and a soldier is sent to ensure that they do not obtain a proper burial. The soldier finds the widow and tries to offer consolation; the widow initially resists, but accepts first some food, then the soldier’s amorous advances. Charleton developed an interest in Epicurus in the 1650s and turned to this story in order to present the widow as an Epicurean counter-example to the ideal of Platonic love fashionable at the time.

* Politico-historical playing cards. Orange Cards, or The (Glorious) Revolution of 1688, London, late 17th-early 18th century, the complete deck of 52 etched playing cards (French suits), comprising 4 suits of 13, numbered I to X or lettered knave, queen, king, each card with an illustration, possibly after Francis Barlow, depicting a scene from around the reign of James II, captioned beneath, with suit sign top left (hearts & diamonds stencilled red), value top right, and an Arabic numeral (from 1-52) top centre, dust-soiled with some stains or brown marks, occasional minor creases (mainly to corners), some close-trimmed with loss of line border (few clipping image), 3 short closed edge tears, 2 of diamonds with lower right corner excised (affecting 2 words), king of hearts with minor surface loss centrally and to upper blank margin, knave of hearts with adhesive stain to previously repaired upper left corner, small ink manuscript alteration to card 8 (VII amended to VIII), card 9 with indistinct final digit to Roman numeral (possibly a printing fault), plain versos, each card approximately 90 x 60mm, contained together in 3 ringbinder album leaves with clear pockets, each album leaf 33 x 32cmQTY: (3)NOTE:Fournier, British Isles 13; Mann, Collecting Playing Cards, p.155 (no.8); Ortiz-Patino collection 15, Willshire, English 191 (now incomplete); Whiting p.116.Rare. Although it is logical to assume these cards were produced soon after the events portrayed (hence they are often dated circa 1689) the British Museum gives them a slightly later date of circa 1700-1725. The lack of a tax stamp would indicate that they were either sold before 1711, or exported (or possibly finished between June 1711 and August 1712): see John Berry Taxation on Playing-Cards in England from 1711 to 1960 (IPCS Papers no.3, January 2001), p.23.The designs on these anti-Catholic propaganda cards, originally titled 'Orange Cards' but usually titled as above, or alternatively 'Rebellion' or 'Reign of James II', are generally attributed to Francis Barlow. However, although he did design several similar packs, there is no firm evidence to show that these are also his. The British Museum has a volume of original playing card designs by Francis Barlow, none of which are represented in this pack. Nevertheless, Willshire describes these card designs as being in general good, as is also their technical execution. The Arabic numerals enable the story to be followed in chronological order, with scenes varying from macabre, such as 'The Midwife cutting her Husband to Pieces', to satirical, for example 'A Priest selling of Relicks by Auction' in which the relics are 'Tho[mas] à Becket's Old Stockins'.There were numerous similar packs produced around this time, each emphasising various aspects of the events leading up to the reign of William of Orange. Sylvia Mann, in Collecting Playing Cards (pp.151 & following) describes several English political propaganda decks, including this one which she calls 'The Revolution'.
Lot 330

Mann 222.Reisinger (Tarock), I, p.240.In discussing this pack, Syliva Mann states 'The quality of Wokaun's early packs is unsurpassed in Prague. This is a unique example of this particular pack' (Mann: All Cards on the Table, p.313). In this deck the double-ended animal trump cards are not quite identical at each end, but the variations are not those described by Kaplan in volume II of his Encyclopedia of Tarot (p.436), where he is detailing two later versions of the same pack, one also by Wokaun (1825) and the other by Joseph Dimler (1834).

Rare, especially in this 36 card form.Kathleen Wowk in Playing Cards of the World (p.54) explains that the Linz Pattern gained the nickname 'Raddreher' or 'Wheel-turner' from the depiction on the deuce of hearts of a man pushing a large wheel. The Linz Pattern was in use for a short period of time during 19th century with most examples being produced between 1840s-1880, and is more usually found as the 32 card version. Mann describes this as 'a quite unmistakable pattern which is a sad loss' (Mann: All Cards on the Table, p.102).Second item: Reisinger (Tarock), II, p.270.
