AN IMPORTANT GEORGE III NEO-CLASSICAL GILTWOOD AND GESSO PAINTED 'D' SHAPED PIER-TABLE, c.1770, the top with central sunburst and a wide border with a scroll and griffin flanked urn, trailing ivy and pearl border, the fluted frieze with rams heads on turned fluted legs. 122cm wide, 55cm deep, 84cm This lot has a traditional provenance of Headfort House and this has much merit as it corresponds to the extant furnishings supplied to the Earl of Bective c.1775, and more specifically it can be compared directly to a pair of pier tables from the Green Drawing room recently acquired by the National Museum, one of which is illustrated, Peill & Glin, ''Irish Furniture'', p.219 The Knight of Glin considered these tables to be Irish and posited that the plasterer John McCullough ws responsible for the distinctive frieze of ram's heads and acanthus filled stop-fluting. It is possible that the painted decoration which echoes the Adams friezes with opposing griffins and other neo-classical allusions is original. Headfort is one of the great interiors designed by Robert Adam in Ireland and the 'eating-parlour' has been magnificently restored.

A FINE IRISH MAHOGANY GEORGE III HALL TABLE, C.1740 the moulded top above an apron carved with a mask and flanked by foliate scrollwork on a pounced ground, raised on carved cabriole legs and paw feet. 119cm wide, 58cm deep, 77cm high The great Ballynagarde table from Limerick incorporates similar profiles of the present ‘Green Man’ mask and the similar exaggerated carving of the acanthus scrolls could suggest a similar source for this table. In folklore the representation of a ‘Green Man’ comes from the Gothic styles of architecture but dates back to much earlier Mediterranean culture. Symbolising rebirth, there is a 13th century example in St. Canices Cathedral, Kilkenny. The carver of the present lot must have been aware of these foliage, usually acanthus, framed masks from medieval monasteries or from printed and manuscript sources. Also from Gothic mythology comes the ‘Wild Man of the Forest’, a pagan deity, and later on ‘Wild Man’ or ‘Green Man’ became conflated and this may account for the alarming set of serrated teeth we see on this idiosyncratic table.

A GEORGE III INLAID AND PAINTED PEMBROKE TABLE, ATTRIBUTED TO SEDDON, SONS & SHACKLETON the oval double drop leaf top painted with a band of trailing flowers and foliage within bands of rosewood, with single frieze drawer, raised on turned fluted legs with castors. 81cm deep, 71.5cm high, 101cm wide (open) The ornate design adorning this table firmly establishes its place within the limited catalog of works produced by the partnership of Seddon, Sons, and Shackleton, which spanned from 1790 to 1798. George Seddon’s cabinet-making enterprise, initiated in the early 1750s, was nothing short of prolific. In 1768, a note in the Gentleman’s Magazine reported a fire at Mr. Seddon’s premises, one of London’s preeminent cabinet-makers, resulting in damages amounting to £20,000. Another devastating fire in 1783 consumed property worth a staggering £100,000. By 1786, a German novelist, Sophie von La Roche, recorded in her travel journal that the firm boasted a workforce of over 400 apprentices, including glass-grinders, bronze-casters, carvers, gilders, painters, drapers, and upholsterers, all laboring at the Aldersgate Street location. Examination of the firm’s printed bill-heads reveals the official entry of Thomas and George, the sons, into the company. The renowned furniture commission placed by D. Tupper for Hauteville House, Guernsey, in 1790, indicates that by June of that year, Thomas Shackleton, who had married the eldest daughter, was invited to join the firm. This collaboration persisted until the retirement of the father in 1798, at which point the sons assumed control of the business. The expansive Hauteville commission, now scattered, includes a satinwood card-table adorned with the same peacock feather border on a cream background (see C. Gilbert, ‘Seddon, Sons & Shackleton,’ Furniture History, 1997, p. 6, fig. 3). Additionally, the set of eighteen shield-back chairs incorporates intricate floral chains. Three of these chairs are currently housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and can be viewed in M. Tomlin’s Catalogue of Adam Period Furniture, 1981, p. 133, cat. P/7. The firm also supplied furniture to Richard Hall Clarke at Bridwell House, for which some invoices still exist. Among the pieces is a Pembroke table (accompanied by a pair of matching card tables) featuring identical handles and floral chains bordering the top, mirroring the leg decoration seen on this example. This suite remained at Bridwell until 1992 when it was auctioned by Sotheby’s, London, on July 9, 1993, as lot 173. The final known account attributed to the firm dates back to 1799 and pertains to Lord Deerhurst. This substantial commission included an entry for ‘A Satinwood Pembroke Table with Richly Japaned and Highly Varnished Border, priced at £9,’ underscoring the firm’s penchant for painted satinwood furniture.

FREDERICK NEWENHAM (1807-1859) ‘Rich and Rare were the Gems She Wore’: Portrait of a Lady Oil on canvas laid down on wood, 91.5 x 71 cm Signed and dated 1854 Exhibited: Royal Academy, 1854 (no. 1084) Literature: William Laffan, in Nicola Figgis (ed.), Art and Architecture of Ireland Volume 2 (Dublin, London, New Haven, 2014) pp. 385-86, illustrated fig 394 Newenham is among the talented group of artist to emerge from Cork in the nineteenth-century and is noted in Peter Murray’s history of Cork art as a member of the artistic family whose members also included Robert O’Callaghan Newenham, the landscape painter, and William Newenham of Coolmore, county Cork, who combined his role as Superintendent General of Barracks with an active career as a topographical artist. According to Strickland, Frederick Newenham was born in Cork in 1807, but, like Daniel Maclise and James Barry, he made his name in London where ‘he achieved some success, becoming a fashionable painter of ladies’ portraits’. However he also painted history and anecdotal pictures which he exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1838 to 1855 as well as sending seventeen paintings to the British Institution between 1841 and 1852. The subjects of these were largely drawn from history and included Cromwell Dictating to Milton (1850) and Princess Elizabeth Examined by the Council (1852). As William Laffan notes in Art and Architecture of Ireland (2014), ‘the sheer scale of some of these attests to Newenham,’s ambition – the Cromwell picture measures 11 ft across’. Newenham was also commissioned to paint portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. His technical ability is clearly apparent in this work which takes its subject from Moore’s Melodies, which famously also inspired Maclise, Newenham’s elder by one year. Rich and rare were the gems she wore And a bright gold ring on her wand she bore But oh! Her beauty was far beyond Her sparkling gems, or snow white wand. An allegory of ‘Erin’s honour and Erin’s pride’, it tells the story of a young lady of great beauty’ who ‘adorned with jewels and costly dress, undertook a journey alone, from one end of [Ireland] to another, but ‘such an impression had the laws and government of [King Brien] made on the minds of all the people, that no attempt was made upon her honour, nor was she robbed of her clothes of jewels’. Newenham’s picture was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1854 under the title ‘Rich and rare were the gems she wore’. It shows the young lady preparing for her journey, her jewel box in the table and her looking glass to the left – rather recalling iconography of The Lady of Shallot, so beloved of contemporary Pre-Raphaelite artists. Described in Art and Architecture of Ireland as ‘an accomplished piece of painting; which shows Newenham to have fine colourist working in a polished high Victorian manner’, it invites further study on this largely forgotten contemporary of Maclise.
