A George II mahogany serpentine dressing chest of drawers, circa 1755, the shaped top with moulded edge, above four long graduated drawers interspersed by leaf and ball moulding, the top drawer fitted with a baize inset slide above an arrangement of compartments and lidded compartments around a hinged rectangular mirror, flanked by foliate bellflower carved canted angles, on blind fretwork shaped bracket feet, 79cm high, 100cm wide, 59cm deep Many parallels between works by the highly skilled mid-18th century cabinet maker William Gomm and this chest can be drawn. Based in Clerkenwell Close, London, Gomm's designs were heavily inspired by Thomas Chippendale's Director with combinations of gothic, rococo, and chinoiserie elements included in single items of furniture. This can be seen in the contrast between the trailing floral carved angles and the blind fretwork feet. For a desk possibly by Gomm also featuring this variety of stylistic elements see, Christie's, New York, American Collecting in the English Tradition: Property of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 27th October 2015, Lot 92 (£341,000). This format of chest demonstrates one of Gomm's most prolific designs with at least six 'Exceeding fine Serpentine Commode Dressing Tables' supplied to Lord Leigh by William Gomm & Son for Stoneleigh Park in 1763. For a record of this commission see C. Gilbert, Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1660-1840, 1986, p. 350. Definite similarities can also be seen in the quality of the floral foliage carving featured on this chest and an altar table by Gomm owned by the V&A museum in London but on display at Stoneleigh Abbey, Warwickshire (W.7-1990). For a related example of chest see, Sotheby's, New York, Gallison Hall: The James F. Scott Collection, 15th October 2018, Lot 273 ($10,625).Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips, splits and small losses.
