Lot 107

A George III mahogany extending dining table by Thomas Butler, circa 1805-1810, with four additional leaf insertions, the rectangular top with rounded corners and a reeded edge, the frieze beneath with further reed moulded edge, the underlying frieze bearing inset makers plaque titled 'BUTLERS PATENT No 13 & 14 CATHERINE ST. STRAND LONDON', each removable turned tapering reeded leg, terminating in brass caps and casters, 78cm high, the top 153cm wide, 420cm long overall when fully extendedFor an illustration of an identical makers plaque (for a campaign bed) See C. Gilbert, Marked London Furniture, Furniture History Society, 1996, page 126 (fig.168). Several dining tables by the same maker are also illustrated on the following pages (128-130) including a remarkably similar example (fig. 178) also bearing the makers brass plaque. Thomas Butler started his career prior to 1787, but in that year dissolved a partnership with Edward Johnson and the stock sold by Christie's on 28th March 1787. After that date Thomas Butler carried on with the business. Through various changes of ownership and arrangements it is clear from insurance records that the business remained substantial. After giving up his business in 1814, Butler's great rivals Morgan & Sanders advertised that they had taken over 'a considerable part of 'Mr Butler's late Ware-room'. (ibid). A specialist in producing patent and 'campaign' furniture Butler produced a pictorial hand bill illustrating examples of the firms output. The text of the hand bill states that he was 'Manufacturer of the Patent Articles to the King & Queen, their Royal Highnesses the Duke of York & Princesses' and that his furniture was 'calculated for the East & West Indies. Ship Cabins furnished'.  Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips and splits. The top is of cleaned/ polished appearance. The quality of the mahogany is excellent. Some additional scratches and abrasions to the top. Some additional old splits (Please refer to all additional images for visual reference) One split has been supported from the underside of the top by an inset butterfly joint so will not lengthen. The leaves are all solid mahogany. One of the leaves is noticeably paler in colour and whilst the edges of the leaf matches the top and the other leaves, seems to be slightly too wide to fit the table. It has possibly been acquired by a previous owner to be adapted to fit the table. This could be done by a restorer. The three leaves that currently fit the table measure 68, 70.5 and 70.5cm wide respectively. All clips for the leaves/ top are lacking. Where one clip would be introduced to the top, a rectangular section is lacking from the underside of that section of the table leaf (see image). An associated old screw has been used to join the two parts of the underlying extending action. This section was designed to be joined with a slender bolt. The legs secure to the table solidly. The extending action from each of the D shaped ends operates well when pulled out evenly. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

Gillows illustrated this and described it as ' a little rising flap on top' and is an unusual feature. For a remarkably similar example, made by Gillows in 1778, see Christie's London, The English Collector, 23rd May 2013, Lot 24 (£15,000).  Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use.

Lot 155

A George III mahogany serpentine serving table, circa 1760, attributed to William Vile, the figured top with triple slender banding border by broader crossbanding, the frieze with beaded borders and above a carved 'pagoda' edge, each tapering cabriole leg surmounted by a naturalistically carved palmette leaf also issuing trailing bellflowers, on scroll and acanthus leaf carved feet, 85cm high, 150cm wide, 72cm deepWilliam Vile (1700-1767) was one of the foremost English cabinet makers of the mid Georgian period. From 1761 to 1764 in partnership with fellow cabinet maker John Cobb they became Cabinet-makers and Upholsterers to His Majesty, George III. Their standard of craftmanship was rivalled only by that of Thomas Chippendale.  Many parallels between known works by Vile and this table can be drawn. The gadrooned apron features to a less accentuated extent on an Work table of related form in the Royal Collection (RCIN 11109), currently in The King's Bedroom at Windsor Castle. A Jewel Cabinet with closely related legs incorporating scroll, channel and bellflower carving is also held in the royal collection (RCIN 35487). Two bills exists from Vile to Queen Charlotte for these items (form 1761 and 1763 respectively).  A cabinet attributed to William Vile incorporating closely related gadrooning and bead moulding is currently in the stock of Ronald Phillips, London, and features on their website.  Furthermore, the use of well figured Cuban mahogany is consistent with Vile's use of materials (see Library table, Metropolitain Museum of Art, 24.103.3). Overall the quality of carving and elegance of from show this table to be the work of a craftsman of exceptional prominence. The dating and stylistic qualities strongly suggest this to be William Vile.  Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips and splits. Some fading overall. Of polished appearance. Very slight warp to top. Some small amounts of filler used in places. Some minor evidence of old worm to interior of carcass and back panel. The edge of the top with some small sections of replacement veneer and some sections re-stuck. Later block applied to centre of the back panel for a candle arm to be fixed. The blocking throughout the edges of the underside of the top possibly suggest that it experienced some movement causing a minimal raise to the centre and was removed and re-secured. The blocks are likely there to prevent further movement. To the outer corners of the rear edge of the top small brass fixtures with a central aperture have been secured.Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition.

Lot 161

A George III padouk Pembroke table, attributed to Thomas Chippendale, circa 1760, referred to also as a 'Breakfaste' or Supper table, the twin hinged rectangular top with moulded edge, above a frieze drawer mounted with 'axe head' handles, the recessed gilt wire-work panel inset compartment beneath, fronted by a hinged and folding door, on square section legs, terminating in casters, 71cm high, 106cm wide (when open), 61cm deep  Provenance: Earl of Perth, Stobhall Castle. Supplied to him by Ronald A. Lee (Works of Art, TheManor House, Byfleet, Surrey) 29th June 1965 (£450). Ronald A. Lee sold an astonishingly wide range of objects, to important collectors and museums all over the world. A key driver for him appears to have been the historical significance and beauty of objects.This table relates directly to a design for a 'Breakfaste Table' in Thomas Chippendales 1st Edition of the Gentleman and Cabinet Makers Director, (1754), plate XXXIII, and included again in the 3rd Edition of 1762 (Plate LIII). A comparable table was supplied to William, 5th Earl of Dumfries for Dumfries House, Ayrshire, Scotland. (See C. Gilbert, The Life & Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol.I, p.131, vol. II, fig. 401). The distinctive 'axe- head' handles of the current table are characteristic of Chippendale's output during the 1750's and 60's and feature on both a shaving table the comparable 'Breakfaste' or supper table at Dumfries House. For closely related examples see Christie's, London, 'Living with Art, a Private Collection' 10th Feb 2012, Lot 757 (£46,850) and Christie's London, The Mermaid House Collection, Important English Furniture 12th November 1998, Lot 20 (£44,400).

Bridgens and Bullock did work together and Richard Hicks Bridgens (d. 1846) working relationship with Messrs George Bullock (d. 1818) and William Bullock, proprietors of Piccadilly's 'Egyptian Hall', was established by 1812, and they collaborated in such projects as Sir Henry Godfrey VassalWebster's historic 'Hastings' Hall at Battle Abbey, Sussex, whose furniture featured in Rudolph Ackermann's Repository of Arts, 1817. This pattern of table to which the current table relates was invented in 1823 to correspond with the 17th Century Jacobean mantelpiece in James Watts's great library at Aston Hall,Birmingham, where it featured in situ in A.E. Everitt's 1854 watercolour (pl. 96B). The design was later included amongst Bridgens' Aston furnishingsin the Elizabethan, Gothic and Grecian manner published in Designs for Furniture with Candelabra and Interior Decoration, 1838 (V. Glenn, 'GeorgeBullock, Richard Bridgens and James Watt's Regency Furniture Schemes', Furniture History, 1979, pls. 96B, 102B and 103A). Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use.

Fredericks and Son, Kensington Church Street, London, 1978. In trying to track down the owner of the signature 'Curry' it is interesting to note that two 'Workmen' by that name are listed as working for Gillows.
