A George IV mahogany partners' library table attributed to GillowsCirca 1830The rectangular top inset with a gilt tooled leather writing surface and with an ovolo moulded edge, above six short opposing and mahogany-lined frieze drawers, on four large angled acanthus headed, strap-clasped, C-scroll carved and foliate wrapped S-scroll form legs, terminating in lobed bun feet and recessed brass castors, 194cm wide x 123cm deep x 79cm high, (76in wide x 48in deep x 31in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceIt seems probable that the offered lot was moved to Old County Hall in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, during the 1880s by John Thynne, 4th Marquess of Bath (1831-1896). If this is indeed the case then it would have happened at roughly the same time that the 4th Marquess was elected Chairman on the then newly established Wiltshire County Council.By repute it was formerly housed in the Ceremony Room at Old County Hall, possibly from the 1880s onwards.Purchased by the current owner and vendor at Woolley and Wallis, Salisbury, 25 March 2015, Furniture and Works of Art, lot 306.A mahogany library table attributed to Gillows, likewise dated circa 1830, which is virtually identical to the present example, sold Bonhams, 30 September 2008, The Knightsbridge Sale, lot 262. The offered table is typical of the bold 'neo-baroque', or rococo revival style, first promoted and thereafter rapidly popularised in England by the Gillows firm during the latter half of the 1820s. The design for this particular model appears in a drawing of a library layout (or room plan) executed by Gillows, possibly in conjunction with Ferguson and Co., upon behalf of J. Pultenay Esq. in circa 1829. It is illustrated in S.E. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol. II, 2008, Woodbridge, pl. E4, pp.'s 348-349, and is housed at Lancaster City Museums, LM 55.20/33.An important rosewood and brass inlaid library table attributed to Gillows, from the period 1820-1830, features in Ibid, Vol. I, pl. 308, p. 291. This has closely comparable legs to the above and is of equivalently large proportions. Another variant to the current lot, which incorporates very similar legs, is one of a pair of rosewood pier tables attributed to Gillow and Co. also dating to the 1820s, that is pictured in Ibid, Vol. II, pl. E24, p. 359.A further related piece is a rosewood side cabinet or commode attributed to Gillows, again made during 1820-1830 but most likely with elaborate brass 'Buhl' inlaid panels provided by Louis Constantin Le Gaigneur, which appears in Ibid, Vol. II, pl. 544, p. 17.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

E GLADSTONE TO HENRY SEDLEY - LONDON - MAY 21ST 1864, the white rectangular Roman and Arabic enamel dial with Breguet style moon hands, the movement with silvered jewelled English lever escapement striking the hours and half-hours on a gong, 18cms high Footnotes:William Ewart Gladstone (1809-1898) was a British Liberal politician and Prime Minister for four non-consecutive terms. He also served as Chancellor of the Exchequer.He was behind many reforms, such as the Trade Union Act of 1871 and pushed for individual liberty and to loosen political and economic restraints. He opposed several wars and was a careful manager of state finances. In 1864 - the year that he gifted this clock to Henry Sedley - he made a speech in which he stated that in principle he did not see why all men could not be enfranchised.The recipient of the clock, Henry Sedley is almost certainly the American journalist who visited England from circa 1862 to 1865. During this time, he published two novels; 'Dangerfield's Rest: A Romance' in 1864, and 'Marion Rooke; or, the Quest for Fortune' in 1865. It has not been possible to ascertain the nature of the relationship between the two men, nor the relevance of the inscription 'Tonight at Eight'. Sedley was born in Boston in 1835 and died in New York City in 1899. During a long career, he was one of the editors of the New York Evening Post, Times, and Commercial Advertiser; founder and, for a time, editor of the Round Table.

Bible, Dominican Use, in Latin. Illuminated manuscript on vellum, [France: probably Paris, c. 1240], iii + III (original vellum) + 496 + II (original vellum) + iii leaves, ruled for two columns of 50 lines (c. 110 × 70 mm), written below top line in minute gothic script (with nearly 5 lines per centimetre); ILLUMINATED WITH A FOLIATE INITIAL TO EACH BOOK, and to the seven usual divisions of the Psalms, OFTEN INCORPORATING A DRAGON, BIRD, LION, OR OTHER ANIMAL, with similar smaller initials to each prologue, about 150 in all, chapter initials with extensive pen-work, marginal chapter numbers in alternate blue and red characters often similarly adorned, running titles also in red and blue; the corrosive green pigment used for the bounding lines of the Genesis initial caused natural corrosion, repaired on the reverse of the leaf; sporadic minor blemishes, very rarely affecting text or decoration, a few areas of blank margin excised, marbled endpapers, burgundy morocco gilt bookplate of W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey to front pastedown, all edges gilt, 19th-century burgundy velvet, the front cover with gilt metal ornaments with an inset rectangular modern colour illustration of an ivory Madonna and Child plaque, upper joint cracked, lacking clasps, 8vo (160 × 119 mm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance:1: Probably made for a Dominican Friar in Paris: the table of readings includes Dominic’s feast (f. 2r, last line of 2nd column), and the calendar includes both his main feast (5 August) and the translation of his relics, which took place in 1233 (24 May), highly graded; his main feast also has an octave (12 August)2: ? Enrico Mylius (1769–1854): from the ‘Museo Mylius’, according to an inserted note dated at Genoa, 16 May 1880, and signed by:3: Tereza Serafino, Antiquario4. Sotheby’s, 3 June 1946, lot 187, with a clipping from the catalogue loosely inserted; doubtless bought by:5. W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (bookplate).Apparently complete, the collation is difficult to ascertain due to tightness of the binding, but based on visible sewing threads, vestiges of leaf signatures, and some quires marked ‘cor’ on their final verso to record that the text has been corrected, it appears that the first quire is of four leaves, the next two of 24 each, and most of the others of 26 leaves.Added note in 15th-century Humanistic script beginning ‘Maior est scripture huius auctoritas quam omni humani generis capacitas …’ (f. I verso); added 15th-century extracts from Gregory’s Moralia in Job (f. III verso); table of Epistle and Gospel readings for the year (f. 1r); Calendar, with Dominican feasts (f. 3v); General prologue (f. 5r), prologue to the Pentateuch (f. 7v), and Genesis (f. 8r), followed by all the usual books and prologues of the Old and New Testaments; the Apocalypse followed without break by the Interpretations of Hebrew Names, in the usual version from ‘Aaz’ to ‘Zuzim’; added notes (final medieval flyleaves) include a quotation from Hilary De trinitate, and a list of the Books of the Bible with their Hebrew names and the number of chapters in each (first back flyleaf).This is a fine example of a typical ‘Paris’ Bible, arguably the greatest revolution in both biblical scholarship and book production of the 13th century. Through the development of extremely thin vellum and extremely small script, it became possible for the first time, in the early decades of the 13th century, to produce a complete Bible in a single easily portable volume. This development came soon after the standardisation of the ‘Paris’ edition of the text, which combined the recently-introduced chapter numbers with a canonical selection of biblical books and prologues; the incorporation, as standard, of such ancillary textual features as the Interpretations of Hebrew Names; and the abandonment of others, such as capitula lists and canon tables, which are frequently found in 12th-century Bibles. The production of large numbers of these Bibles was probably in response both to the needs of students at the burgeoning university of Paris, and also of the mendicant (itinerant) friars, for whom portability was essential; when such Bibles include calendars (or other liturgical material) it is usually Franciscan or Dominican.The present Bible must date from after the 1233 feast of St Dominic, which is included in the calendar, but probably not much later: one of the developments in page layout that took place in the 1240s was that the chapter numbers were relocated within the main columns of text, rather than placed in the margins (as in the present example).

[Devereux, Robert, second Earl of Essex, 1566-1601]. A bound collection of heraldic tracts including pedigrees showing the relationship between the Earl of Essex, Queen Elizabeth and other Knights of the Garter, late 16th Century, 250 leaves manuscript on paper, with 17th-century additions, some pages blank, early pagination with pages numbered 109-616, some other foliation and partial renumbering in modern pencil, some dust-soiling, late 18th-century armorial bookplate of (?)’T.S.M.’ by J[ames] Kirk to front pastedown, burgundy morocco gilt bookplate of W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey, beneath and William H. Robinson’s Bibliotheca Phillippica bookseller’s ticket below that, old pencil inscription at head of pastedown indicating the volume was ex Bibliotheca Heberiana and Phillippica, uncut, 18th-century vellum-backed marbled boards, gilt-titled leather spine label, ‘MS. Heraldic Pedigrees of Earl of Essex & C.’, inscribed beneath in old ink, ‘olim Ld Somers nup Sir Jos. Jekyll’, small paper shelf-mark numbers at foot, [Phillipps MS] ‘8196’ and ‘228’, slightly soiled, some edge wear to boards, folio (305 x 210 mm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Robert Devereux, second Earl of Essex (1566-1601); Edward Dyer (1543-1607) and family; John Somers (1651-1716); Joseph Jekyll (1663-1738); (?)T.S.M. (bookplate); Richard Heber (1773-1833); Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872), (Phillipps MS 8196 spine label); William H. Robinson, booksellers; W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (bookplate).An old brief 4-page manuscript index is loosely inserted, evidently written before pp. 1-108 were separated and ‘lost’. These missing leaves are identified as ‘Calendar of the Dorse of the Close Rolls 1 H. A.; Fines 1 H. A.; Table to these after many blank leaves’.There can be little doubt that this set of pedigrees was executed for the Earl of Essex for some special purpose. Folio 244r (p. 603 of original pagination) bears the signature of ‘Edward Dyer’ in a 17th-century hand. Sir Edward Dyer (1543-1607), the poet, had as a patron Walter Devereux, first Earl of Essex, father of Robert, the second Earl. Thus Robert and Dyer must have been on intimate terms, which would account for the manuscript being in the possession of the Dyer family in the seventeenth century.

Leonardo delivered sermons across Italy, including Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan, and served as professor of Theology and rector of the Dominican school at Bologna before he became prior of the Convent of St Dominic, also in Bologna.The second of four books printed at Vicenza by the prototypographer of Vienna. This edition of the Udine Dominican Leonardo's popular sermons is a page-for-page reprint of the first edition, printed in 1473 at Venice by Franciscus Renner and Nicolaus de Frankfordia. Koblinger probably trained in Renner's office, since the material and texts of all three of Koblinger's signed Vicenza editions show connections with Renner, including the unusual method of signing using the alphabet (a-y) followed by arabic numerals. The two gothic founts used in both this and Koblinger's 1480 edition of Utino's Sermones de sanctis vary only slightly from types of the same size used by Renner up until 1477-1478. Koblinger presumably acquired the punches and/or types after the dissolution of the Renner-Frankfordia partnership in 1477. By 1481 Koblinger had returned to his native Vienna, where he was almost certainly responsible for the production of a German-Italian vocabulary and 7 or 8 other unsigned tracts, printed in 1482 and 1485.Koblinger printed only a handful of books including the first ever issued in Vienna. The sermones is the second of just four known works printed by Koblinger in Vicenza, before he returned to Vienna in 1481. There he published the Vocabolista Italico-Tedesco, the first book to be published in Vienna.

Evans on 3 June 1833.Joseph Neeld (1789–1856) was a Member of Parliament for the rotten borough of Gatton, Surrey from March to July 1830 and for Chippenham, Wiltshire, from September 1830 to March 1856.

Kelston Park was later transferred to relatives in 1844. He married Lady Caroline Ashley Cooper, daughter of the 6th Earl of Shaftesbury in 1831, but the marriage didn't flourish and led to a series of legal disputes, whereupon Lady Caroline was granted a legal separation. From 1832, Neeld commenced remodelling Grittleton House in a Gothic revival style and formed a large collection of antiques and paintings within the property.
