A George I gilt gesso side table1720-1726, possibly by John BelchierThe top with an ovolo moulded edge and re-entrant front angles, decorated with shallow-relief strapwork decoration comprising a central rosette within a shaped and scrolled cartouche, the cartouche border interspersed with lozenge medallions, encompassed by scrolled foliage and bellflower pendants, above an acanthus and scallop shell ogee shaped frieze, over an everted apron centred by a swagged acanthus spray within a scrolled foliate cartouche, on griffin bust, acanthus, bellflower pendant and rosette clasped scroll eared square section cabriole legs, terminating in shell wrapped feet, probably very slightly reduced in height, 108cm wide x 56cm deep x 70.5cm high, (42 1/2in wide x 22in deep x 27 1/2in high)Footnotes:An almost identical gilt gesso side table to the offered lot is located in the Second Best Bedchamber at Erddig, a large historic house near Wrexham in Wales. It is first documented in a 1726 inventory undertaken at Erddig, and consequently is believed to date from the period 1720-1726. This closely comparable George I side table is illustrated and analysed in A. Bowett, Early Georgian Furniture, 1715-1740, 2009, Woodbridge, fig.'s 5.19 & 5.21, pp.'s 210-211.It is interesting to note that a silvered table of related form, size and proportions was supplied by the cabinet maker John Belchier for the Withdrawing Room at Erddig in 1726, also featuring in Ibid, fig. 5.20, pp.'s 210-211. According to what is recorded in Belchier's bill, this silvered piece of furniture cost John Meller £14 at that time. And the glass top is even engraved and painted with the Arms of the Meller family who then resided at Erddig.Although both of these examples have a number of shared characteristics including distinctive punched grounds, elegant cabriole legs and similar shallow-relief decoration, there are however evident variations as well. The two tops are different whilst the gilt one at Erddig, as with the present model, has an ogee frieze whereas a cavetto one appears on the silvered table. Arguably the latter, despite its beautiful swags running between the front legs and apron (absent on the others), does not incorporate some of the finer details such as the more pronounced and confidently carved scrolls and shallow griffin busts featuring to the tops of the legs on both the offered table and the gilt one at Erddig. In addition, a white bole is evident underneath the surfaces of the silvered table, in place of the dark red bole which was clearly used for the others.Consequently, it seems possible, but definitely by no means certain, that John Belchier was responsible for executing both of the aforementioned upon behalf of John Meller at Erddig. Thus, by extension the same uncertainty likewise applies to the current example too. Regrettably, in the absence of any relevant paperwork, it appears likely that we may never definitively know who made either the Second Best Bedchamber version or indeed the offered version. Unfortunately, this equivocation is only intensified by the fact that Meller also purchased furniture from other cabinet makers like John Pardoe and John Gumley at approximately the same time.At Erddig, pairs of marble topped tables can be found in rooms such as the Hall and Salone. This fact suggests that the gilt Second Best Bedchamber model was perhaps also one of a pair that was commissioned by Meller, and if this was indeed the case then it would mean that the present lot was possibly originally housed alongside its companion in the revered Welsh historic home. But to be clear this is just one of a number of various postulations concerning such furniture.To conclude, Adam Bowett asserts that: 'the design of the Erddig tables is typical of the 'claw' cabriole-leg style which superseded pillar legs from circa 1715 onwards'. He also notes that the gilt model at Erddig had a protective leather cover or case which was standard practice for such tables of this type and period. It is thus a fair assumption that the offered one also had this same type of covering at some point.A further related example sold Christie's, London, 9 December 2010, The Gothick Pavilion - Byron to Beaton, lot 33.LiteratureA.

A George III mahogany Pembroke tableCirca 1775The rectangular top with an ovolo moulded edge above an opposing frieze carved to each end with rosette-hung husk festoons centred by a flowerhead, on square fluted tapering legs terminating in block feet, 39cm wide x 47cm deep x 72.5cm high, (15in wide x 18 1/2in deep x 28 1/2in high)Footnotes:The carved element to each opposing end on the frieze of the present lot is similar in design to a manuscript drawing by Thomas Chippendale, which is inscribed: 'Chipindale', and appears illustrated in C.

Lot 15

OF GRAND TOUR INTEREST - A Regency or George IV mahogany centre table with an Italian early 19th century specimen marble and hardstone topthe specimen top circa 1815, the table 1820-1825 and almost certainly Scottish or Irish in originThe circular top inset with a central roundel encompassed by six concentric circles incorporating a total of one hundred and forty inlaid radiating segments of assorted marbles, hardstones and minerals, the specimens probably including verde antico, porfido verde antico, val d'aosta, granito verde antico, Spanish brocatello, jaune brocatelle, porphyry, Sicilian jasper, granito rosso antico, cipollino, lumachella nera, alabastro, portasanta, fior di pesco, rouge languedoc, breccia traccagnina, portoro, petit antique, occhio di pavone, lapis lazuli, malachite and agate, on a beaded, acanthus wrapped and lobed column with a lotus-leaf collar and fluted spreading socle, the concave tripartite base with a reeded edge, terminating in scrolled corbel-headed lion paw feet, with recessed brass castors, the table stamped: '9589', the diameter of the top: 96cm; 77cm high.Footnotes:ProvenanceThe present table previously formed part of the collection of Sir Edmond Adair Hodson, 5t Bt. (1893-1972), Hollybrook House, County Wicklow, in Ireland. Evidently the table passed by descent through the family down to the current owner and vendor, although it is not known exactly when it was first acquired by the family.The marvellous Italian early 19th century specimen marble and hardstone top surmounting the offered lot is virtually identical (and of the exact same design) to the one forming the top of a rosewood centre table, dated circa 1820 and attributed to Gillows, which sold Christie's, London, 22 January 2009, Lord St. Helens and Sir William Fitzherbert, The Collections of a Diplomat and a Courtier, lot 550. During the early 19th century, a dealer called François de Sanctis, whose operation was based in Rome, was one of a number of retailers who sold colourful specimen tabletops, just like the present model, to his largely 'Grand Tour' clients. One such top was evidently purchased from de Sanctis by R.W. Bland of Belfast. In 1826 this comparable was then exported from Leghorn. However, interestingly the documentation which accompanied this particular tabletop referenced the fact that it had in fact been made in Florence in 1817 and was inscribed: 'Pietre in Tavola Rotunda, Firenze'. It sold Christie's, New York, 29 January 1994, lot 305.Another closely related top is housed within the collection of what was formerly known as the London Geological Museum, but which has since been amalgamated with the Natural History Museum. This is very similar to the offered example with a conforming lapis lazuli central medallion whilst a total of thirty-two of the different marble specimens therein have since been identified, one must assume by the Museum itself. A further Gillows table connected to the aforementioned Christie's models of this type, albeit one possibly commissioned by the Marquess of Zetland for St. Nicholas after he purchased the estate in 1813, sold from the collection of the late Lady Serena James, St. Nicholas, Richmond, Yorkshire, Christie's London, 16 May 2001, lot 260. A further table worthy of note, albeit a comparable with a different type of specimen marble top, is illustrated in S. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol. I, 2008, pl. 391, p. 337. This particular rosewood example was made by Gillows in Oxford Street and supplied to Stephen Tempest in 1821.Aside from its top, the present table has a number of elements that are reminiscent of the output of the Scottish cabinet maker, William Trotter, who was based in Edinburgh and who flourished during the period 1805-1825. The prominent reeding, or reeded bands, to both column and base along with its distinctive lotus-leaf and acanthus carved collars appear to be recurrent aspects of Trotter's output, especially of those pieces that his firm produced between 1815 and 1825.Holybrook HouseHolybrook House, where Sir Edmond Hodson resided, had been constructed in the then fashionable Tudor Revival style in 1835. It was built following the designs of the Irish architect, William Vitruvius Morrison (1794-1838). Sadly in 1969 the north-west wing of the house was largely burnt in a fire and then subsequently re-structured as four separate buildings. However, the main part of the house, although much altered from its original state, still remains to this day, see www.buildingsofireland.ieThis 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.

A George I walnut side tableCirca 1720The rectangular featherbanded top with re-entrant angles and an ovolo moulded edge, above one long part-cavetto and oak lined frieze drawer, over an everted and shaped apron, on cabriole legs terminating in tripartite or trifid feet, 84.5cm wide x 54cm deep x 71cm high, (33in wide x 21in deep x 27 1/2in high)Footnotes:ProvenancePurchased from Mallett and Co, reputedly during the 1950s.A similar walnut side table to the offered lot is illustrated in L.

Lot 49

An important George II giltwood side table with a specimen top comprised of assorted hardstones, marbles and minerals including Blue JohnThe table 1735-1740, the top 18th centuryThe geometrically veneered top inset with assorted specimens, comprising a triple tablet centred by an octagon, flanked by square and rectangular blocking, encompassed by an octagonal pattern border, within a conforming square and rectangular block surround, above an egg-and-dart moulded top edge, over a Vitruvian scroll frieze with acanthus spray angles, the drapery swagged apron below centred by a classical female mask against a draped surround, on four volute scroll eared cabriole legs each headed by a clasped carved lion mask above an acanthus spray and bellflower pendant, terminating in lion paw feet with hairy hocks, some losses to the border of the specimen top, the gilding has been applied to a mahogany base, 131cm wide x 67cm deep x 82cm high, (51 1/2in wide x 26in deep x 32in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceRipley Castle, located near Harrogate in North Yorkshire.The boldly carved Vitruvian scroll frieze bracketed by acanthus leaf ornament features on a side table of earlier date. It was designed by the architect William Kent for Ditchley Park in circa 1726 and was carved by James Richards. It features in S. Weber, William Kent Designing Georgian Britain, New Haven, 2013, fig. 18.31, p. 491. A related giltwood and gilt gesso side table, which is attributed to Benjamin Goodison (c.1700-1767), forms part of the Royal Collection and is illustrated in The First Georgians, Art and Monarchy, 1714-1760, ed. by D. Shawe-Taylor, 2014, London, fig. 109, pp.'s 202-203. Dating to circa 1730, this impressive Royal table incorporates closely comparable elements such as the Vitruvian scroll frieze with acanthus angles, the central classical female mask on a draped background and the distinctive drapery swags to the apron. This table along with a similar gilt variant companion of the same date, the latter also attributed to Goodison, are noticeable in an 1816 watercolour by Charles Wild which depicts The Queen's Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, Ibid, fig. 45, p. 202. Both, despite their elaborate gilt gesso tops, are shown in this watercolour with two ship models from George III's collection positioned on top of them. Although evidently, they were transferred from this location to the Queen's Audience Chamber shortly afterwards and probably as soon as during the reign of George IV in the 1820s. During the early 20th century, the celebrated English furniture collector, Percival D. Griffiths, assembled under the auspices of the furniture historian, Robert Wemyss Symonds, a collection which at the time was considered the finest in the country. Griffiths developed a penchant for certain elements associated with the Neo-Palladian style (often categorised as 'lion mask furniture'), typified by those aspects exhibited on the offered lot. Indeed, key items in his collection paralleling this style are illustrated in R.W. Symonds' seminal work, English Furniture from Charles II to George II, 1929, London, fig.'s 69-72 and 177-180. The Griffiths Collection was sold at Christie's in 1939 after Griffiths died while hunting with the Whaddon Chase on 11th December 1937.Furthermore, another table, a mahogany console with a marble slab top dating to circa 1735, has a number of shared characteristics with the present example and this appears in English Furniture from Charles II to George II, 1980, Woodbridge, fig.'s 147 & 177, pp.'s 159 and 180. Both have very similar egg-and-dart moulded top edges, Vitruvian scroll friezes and perhaps most notably each one is on cabriole legs carved with lion masks and acanthus leaves which terminate in hairy hocks and lion paw feet. In fact, this particular mahogany table, which previously formed part of the renowned Griffiths collection, sold Christie's, New York, 17 October 2008, Important English Furniture, lot 20.It is also interesting to note that a mahogany drop-leaf table, that is likewise dated circa 1735, has lion masks carved to its legs and comparable lion paw feet which are certainly more akin in their appearance and execution to those featuring on the offered model than on the previous table. This related drop-leaf features in Ibid, fig.'s 71 & 127, pp.'s 96 and 141.A pair of tables in the collection at Temple Newsam [LEEAGFU.1954.009] - the design of which has been attributed to Henry Flitcroft (1697-1769), who was commissioned to conceive the interiors of Ditchley Park - were completed during the period 1736-1741. A table probably designed by Flitcroft and attributed to Matthias Lock (1710-1765), combining related Vitruvian scroll and swag ornament sold Christie's, New York, The Ann and Gordon Getty Collection, 22 October 2022, lot 331. Flitcroft, a former assistant to Kent, was likewise a protégé of Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington (1694-1753). The latter became a leading exponent of the Neo-Palladian style following his final Grand Tour of Italy in 1719 when he rebuilt Burlington House as a homage to the architectural designs in Andrea Palladio's I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura, first published in 1570. Moreover, two designs for pier or side tables, completed by William Jones for his 1739 publication, 'The Gentleman or Builder's Companion', pl.'s 27 and 28, possess some attributes which are analogous to those of the present model. Between the two designs these attributes include: a Vitruvian scroll frieze, central classical female mask, swagged apron, cabriole-like legs and similar feet. Both drawings feature in Pictorial Dictionary of British 18th Century Furniture Design, 2000, Woodbridge, pl.'s 27 & 28, p. 263. A further giltwood table, evidently conforming in numerous details and definitely close in spirit to such William Jones designs, is illustrated in A. Bowett, Early Georgian Furniture, 1715-1740, Woodbridge, 2009, pl. 5:30, p. 215. This version is dated by the author to the period 1735-1750 and clearly combines Neo-Palladian motifs such as the classical mask, prominent shell and Vitruvian scrolling with early 'indications' of the then burgeoning Rococo style. However, arguably the above table is perhaps nearer to circa 1735, since it seems to fuse the late Baroque style with Neo-Palladianism, so effectively such an integration suggests a slightly earlier date of execution in comparison to the former. The Specimen Tabletop and 'Blew John'The marvellous 18th century specimen top surmounting the offered lot appears to be comprised of an assortment of hardstone, marble and mineral types which are seemingly predominantly, or possibly exclusively, of indigenous origins. Although most of these segments are difficult to currently identify with any real degree of certainty, it is nonetheless probable that a minimum of two varieties of Blue John are included therein, and they are most likely to be 'Old Tor Vein' and 'Treak Cliff Blue Vein'. However, there is perhaps an argument to suggest that there are signs of 'Odin Vein' as well. Blue John is a variety of the common mineral fluorspar, which is composed of calcium fluoride (CaF2). Fluorspar can be in any colour, but it is known as Blue John when it is bluish purple with a white banding, thought to be caused by inclusions or impurities. The name Blue John was not recorded until 1766, when Lady Mazarine, one of th...

A George III ormolu mounted tulipwood and rosewood table de salon or table ambulante attributed to Pierre Langlois (1718-1767)Circa 1765Inlaid with stringing, the shaped quarter veneered top mounted with a reeded edge, above a shaped frieze inlaid with half veneered shaped tablets, the front and reverse of the frieze mounted with a pair of winged putti holding a laurel wreath aloft above a floral swagged oval beaded cartouche, with one frieze drawer, each end with a cabochon embedded foliate scrolled and rocaille mount, on square section cabriole legs mounted with opposing C-scrolls, acanthus and elongated scrolls with beaded chutes terminating in opposing C-scroll and foliate sabots, with a quarter veneered platform undertier, 33cm wide x 28cm deep x 73cm high, (12 1/2in wide x 11in deep x 28 1/2in high)Footnotes:A small writing table, one likewise attributed to Pierre Langlois, which has an essentially identical model of ormolu mount to the upper parts of its legs as those which are attached on the present lot sold Christie's, New York, 17 May 2006, The Collection of Evelyn Annenberg Hall, lot 356.The quintessentially French - or more precisely Louis XV - design of the offered example, combined with the English construction evident in the high-quality drawer linings with their neat dovetails, are typical elements of the ouevre of the émigré cabinet maker, Pierre Langlois, during the 1760s and into the 1770s.It is also interesting to note the presence of a number of winged putti depicted on the Langlois trade card which is illustrated in Sir Ambrose Heal's The London Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, 1953, p. 94. These figures bear close comparison with the winged putto featuring on the main central mount of the above table.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP 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.
