Pieces such as these seldom appear on the market; the rich blue ground of this example is particularly unusual.The prestigious family firm of Arthur Lee & Sons was founded in 1888 in Bolton, subsequently moving to a purpose-built factory in Birkenhead in 1908. The company continued throughout the 20th century under the direction of Arthur's three sons and five grandsons before closing in 1970. The American branch of the firm, Lee Jofa, is still in existence in New York. As well as developing innovative methods of weaving tapestry cloths, and producing high-quality hand-blocked fabrics, Arthur Lee revived the practise of hand-crafted needlepoint and crewelwork.

A Charles II stumpwork casket, of canted rectangular form and raised on squat bun feet, the hinged lid above two doors opening to reveal a fitted interior upholstered in pink velvet and with an arrangement of two long and three short drawers, the exterior worked in polychrome thread over an ivory silk ground, extensively embroidered with figures and foliage to each face, the top face depicting Rebecca at the well31 x 29.5 x 20.5cmProvenance:Sale; Toovey's, 14 June, 2016, lot 3264Overall condition of the Silkwork is fair, panels are original but have suffered sunlight degradation. The base silk material is fragile and some stitching absent in places. Areas of tapestry stitch or "carpet stitch" are more even in colour and secure. Please see further comprehensive images. Restoration to the casket was likely completed in the mid to late 19th century, showing the base stand has been altered with different frieze and bun feet and additional rebuilding to the interior. Choice of veneers to restore the frames to the needlework panels would suggest restoration in the mid to late 19th century, as these have been secured with rosewood veneers, velvet and paper lined drawers also likely confirms this. Lid shows some warping and no longer sits flush. Right hand door is severely warped and the fabric has separated from its frame.
