English School, 18th centuryThe Court Fright signed 'Vander Smokehim' (lower right)oil on canvas68.6 x 122.2cm (27 x 48 1/8in).The artist's signature seems to be an alias.Footnotes:This work replicates a 1744 print by an anonymous printmaker that satirises the lack of British preparedness for an invasion planned by the French. Please see the British Museum object number 1868,0808.3745 for an example of the print after which this is copied. The British Museums's entry on this print is accompanied by a fine description of the scene as follows:'Satire on British lack of preparedness for the French invasion planned in early 1744. George II is seated in an elegant room being bled by two surgeons while an ailing Britannia crouches at his side saying, 'Alas I'm Weak'. He appears to have thrown up in anger an 'Express from [Sir John] No[rri]s' (commander of the Channel Fleet which had failed to engage with the French). The bespectacled Duke of Newcastle responds, 'Forgive I'm ignorant of ye Marine', while John Carteret pulls back protesting, 'And I of ye French Scheme'. On the table beside the king is a pile of loyal addresses. An open doorway on the left shows the French fleet in flames, and another, on the right, shows a pedlar with a tray loaded with catholic relics on board a French ship. In the foreground are symbolic representations of the protagonists: a fox representing Cardinal Tencin attempts to mount a British lion who kicks out forcefully; English and French dogs fight over a bone labelled 'The Bone of Trade gone'; a paper lettered, 'Genoa on the Treaty of Worms' (a reference to the loss of Genoese territory under the treaty) lies on the ground; the lion of the United Provinces rides a Dutch hog lettered '6000 for fear of an invas[io]n' (a reference to the British claim of the assistance of 6,000 Dutch troops); the Hanoverian horse, a map of Britain draped across its back with a note indicating ships off 'Lizard P[oint]', gallops over a man marked 'Bankrupt'. On the wall behind is a picture entitled 'Promotion' showing a semi-naked woman, presumably the Countess of Yarmouth, waist-high in a pool with a dog swimming towards her.'Please note that some details in this work are slightly different from those described above.
English School, 19th centuryFull-length portrait of an officer of the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen's Bays), late 1840s - early 1850s.oil on canvas 76.2 x 58.4cm (30 x 23in).Footnotes:Provenancewith The Parker Gallery, London.Private collection, UKWith his Undress cap on the table beside him, this officer wears the typical Dragoon Guard uniform of the period before the Crimean War of 1855. At that date the elaborate sabretache, worn here from exceptionally long slings, disappeared as an encumbrance unsuitable for campaigning. Indeed the war against Russia had a profound effect in modernising British Army uniforms - tail-coats disappeared and were replaced with tunics.We would like to thank Dr Andrew Cormack for his assistance cataloguing this lot.
A Regency mahogany wine, hunt or social tablein the manner of GillowsCirca 1820, of typical horseshoe form, with a removable central leaf flanked by two hinged end drop leaves, the brass rail mounted with a detachable swivel-hinged arm terminating in two papier mache decanter coasters, on four ring turned and reeded tapering legs terminating in brass cappings and castors, the detachable brass arm probably later, 152cm wide x 81cm deep x 72cm high, (59 1/2in wide x 31 1/2in deep x 28in high)Footnotes:Furniture such as the offered lot was made for the principal purpose of sociable drinking and historically sitters would imbibe either wines, fortified wines or spirits while seated at these tables, typically after dinner time. The main brass rail or rod would rotate two decanters set within their respective coasters among the various recipients. They were also used by riders either before or after a hunt, hence the different names that one can equally apply to them.A design for this type of table was produced by George Hepplewhite and published posthumously in The Cabinet-Maker's Book of Prices in 1793 under the title of 'Gentlemen's Social Table'. Related examples include two by Gillows, one of which is illustrated in S. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol. I, 1988, Woodbridge, pl. 247, p. 249, and the other which appears in P. Macquoid & R. Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture, Vol. III, 1954, London, fig. 1, p. 319.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' 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.

OF MARITIME INTEREST - A table decorated to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar almost certainly painted during the Edwardian periodpossibly a Victorian breakfast table converted to a table with a fixed topThe top decorated with the busts of Lord Nelson and Vice Admiral Collingwood amidst warships in conflict, all within interlocking wreaths, surrounding a compass star and the inscriptions: 'England expects this day that every man will do his duty. H.M.S. VICTORY, LORD HORATIO NELSON, THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR, H.M.S. ROYAL SOVEREIGN, VICE-ADMIRAL CUTHBERT COLLINGWOOD, A GREAT AND GLORIOUS VICTORY, 1805' within a border inscribed with a list of the British fleet: 'Dreadnought, Euryalus, Naiad, Phoebe, Entreprenante, Temeraire, Neptune, Conqueror, Leviathan, Ajax, Orion, Agamemnon, Minotaur, Spartiate, Britannia, Sirius, Pickle, Mars, Belleise, Tonnant, Bellerephon, Colossus, Achille, Polyphemus, Revenge, Swiftsure, Defense, Thunderer, Defiance, Prince', 121cm wide x 120cm deep x 75cm high, (47 1/2in wide x 47in deep x 29 1/2in high)Footnotes:It is highly likely that the offered lot was painted in 1905 in honour of the centenary of Trafalgar since numerous commemorative acts and events took place across the nation over the course of that year. However, despite this widespread patriotic activity, there was notably minimal involvement or participation from the Royal family. This was due to their desire to uphold the Entente Cordiale by not upsetting or aggravating the French, with whom Great Britain had signed this series of agreements only the previous year.Nonetheless Edward VII lent his official backing to the 'Nelson Centenary Memorial Fund' which organised the sale of Trafalgar centenary souvenirs each marked with the Royal cypher. Also, the proceeds from a gala which took place in the Royal Albert Hall on 21st October that same year went towards the aforementioned fund. This event, which incorporated the premiere of a specially commissioned film called Our Navy along with the first performance of the Fantasia of British Sea Songs by Sir Henry Wood, ended diplomatically with renditions of both La Marseillaise and God save the King.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lots denoted with a 'TP' 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.
