Literature: H. Avray Tipping, Country Life, vol. LVIII, 8 July 1925, p. 96 H. Avray Tipping, English Homes, Period VI, vol. I, London, 1926, pp. 19-21, figs. 30-31 and 33 C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol. I, p. 263 and vol. II, p. 11, fig. 21 and p. 109, fig. 186 C. Gilbert, 'Chippendale's Brocket Hall Saloon Suite', Christie's International Magazine, June- July 1994, pp. 46-49. Thomas Chippendale's commission for Viscount Melbourne at Brocket Hall was delivered in a concentrated period from about 1772 until 1775, alongside furniture made for Melbourne House, Piccadilly (now Albany), which Melbourne bought from Lord Holland in 1771. And while both commissions were not as large or as lengthy as those for his major Yorkshire patrons, the seat furniture he made for the Drawing Room at Brocket originally comprised twelve armchairs, twelve side chairs and four settees, which is the largest salon suite Chippendale provided for any client. One pair (of four) candle stands also made for the Drawing Room at Brocket by Chippendale, formerly in the Gerstenfeld Collection, Washington DC, were acquired in 2018 by The Cleveland Museum of Art (2018.203). Brocket Hall Sir Matthew Lamb, 1st Baronet, purchased the estate in 1746 and built the hall as it is seen today in around 1760 to the designs of the architect Sir James Paine. The interiors of the house are mostly on a modest country house scale with the exceptions of the main staircase and the Grand Saloon, for which the present chairs were commissioned. These rooms were decorated specifically for entertaining royalty. The walls are lined with silk, the original furniture was made by Chippendale, and the ceiling was painted by Francis Wheatley. The cost of this one room alone is recorded as ￡1,500 which equated to more than the cost of a substantial mansion at the time. The Hall took fifteen years to compete, by which time Sir Matthew had died and his son Peniston Lamb inherited Brocket Hall at the age of 21. Sir Peniston was raised to the peerage, as 1st Viscount Melbourne in 1781 allegedly on account of his wife's social and political capabilities as mistress of the Prince Regent, the future King George IV. Upon the death of 1st Lord Melbourne, his son William inherited and succeeded to the title, becoming the 2nd Viscount Melbourne. William was a political powerhouse of the time and held the position of Prime Minister twice throughout his lifetime. In 1837, it was Lord Melbourne who broke the news to a young Victoria that she was to become Queen. She often visited Brocket Hall owing to their close friendship and until her marriage to Prince Albert, weekly bunches of flowers were sent from the Estate to the Palace. On Melbourne's death, the house passed to his sister, Emily, whose second husband was another Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston. It was in turn inherited by Emily's grandson by her first marriage, Francis Cowper, 7th Earl Cowper, though it was his younger brother, Henry (d.1887), who lived at Brocket Hall. In 1893, Lord Mount Stephen, leased Brocket Hall from the 7th Earl for the remainder of his lifetime. Lord Stephen was President of the Bank of Montreal and the first Canadian to be elevated to the Peerage of the United Kingdom. For the next three years guests included the Queen's children: the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and the Princess Mary, Duchess of Teck. After the death of the 7th Earl Cowper (1905), the underlying future reversion was left to his niece, but she died only a year after him (1906) and the estate passed to her husband, Admiral Lord Walter Kerr, who lived at Melbourne Hall. When Lord Mount Stephen died in 1921, Kerr put the estate up for sale and in 1923 it was purchased by Sir Charles Nall-Cain who owned and ran the brewing company Walker Cain Ltd, later Allied Breweries. He was raised to the peerage in 1923 for his contribution to the national war effort and economy.

A Dutch satinwood, tulipwood, ebony and marquetry Pembroke or supper tableIn the manner of Thomas Chippendale, second half 18th century The hinged rectangular top with a chequer strung border above a frieze drawer flanked by ebony veneered panels above pierced spandrels on square tapering and inlaid fluted legs united by a waisted under-tier, 108cm wide x 70.5cm deep x 75cm high, (42.5in wide x 27.5in deep x 29.5in high) (62cm wide with the leaves down)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Collection of Benjamin Katz, Dieren, sold;Paul Brandt, Amsterdam, 17-18-19 March 1964, lot 266. The offered table has close parallels with English Pembroke tables promoted and manufactured by leading cabinet makers during the second half of the 18th century. Features such as the concave tier stretcher on the table here relate to a 'Breakfast Table' of Pembroke form supplied by Thomas Chippendale for Dumfries House in 1759 (illustrated in Christopher Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, p. 219, pls. 399 and 400). The design for this configuration of Pembroke table was first published by Chippendale in his Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1754, pl. XXXIII. One of two documented Neo-Classical satinwood Pembroke tables supplied by Mayhew and Ince to Viscount Palmeston, circa 1785 for Broadlands, shares characteristics with the offered lot, typified by the contrasting ebony fluting to the tapered square legs and highly figured veneers (see Hugh Roberts and Charles Cator, Industry and Ingenuity: The Partnership of William Ince and John Mayhew, 2022, p. 400, pl. 435).Whilst the design here bears testament to the interchange of influences between British and European furniture makers during the 18th century, subtle idiosyncrasies such as the distinctive dental stringing, double blind flutes to the legs, and square cut top indicate the Dutch origin of this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A GEORGE III FIGURED MAHOGANY AND CROSSBANDED SERPENTINE CHEST ALMOST CERTAINLY BY THOMAS CHIPPENDALE OR JOHN COBB, CIRCA 1770 With solid mahogany drawer linings 89cm high, 109cm wide, 61cm deep overall Fitted with 'S' pattern escutcheons, this fine quality chest has a rare constructional element that points to Chippendale's authorship, the use of S-pattern keyholes, this detail is almost unique to him. In his 1768 account to Lady Shelburne, Chippendale mentioned that a commode table has 'very good spring and tumbler locks and S-bitted keys' (Gilbert, op. cit., vol. I, p. 253, and vol. II, p. 147, fig. 267). The intriguing asymmetry of the S-shaped brass escutcheon would have been Chippendale's primary objective, though the encumbrance would also have minimally increased the level of security of the lock. This keyhole pattern has very occasionally been recorded on furniture attributed to Chippendale's competitor John Cobb, for example on the commode sold anonymously, Christie's New York, 19 April 2001, lot 148. However, nearly all occurrences are on furniture attributed to Chippendale.

Thomas Chippendale: 'The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director: being a large collection of the most elegant and useful designs of household furniture in the Gothic, Chinese and modern taste...and other ornaments', London, J. Haberkorn for the author and others, 1754, 1st edition, lacking leaves before pp. vii (i.e. half title, title page printed, and engraved dedication), but else complete, with [4]pp list of subscribers (pp. vii-x), 27pp letterpress (being a list of the plates with corresponding descriptions), plus 161 engraved plates as called for (two plates are numbered xxv), some plates with moderate foxing, slightly heavier and with some waterstaining to leaves at end, plate xxiv "Chinese Chairs" with area of surface wear (not affecting illustration itself), else leaves/plates complete and generally VGC commensurate with age, the plates dated 1753, and engraved by engraved by Tobias Müller (fl. 1754-90), Matthew Darly (fl. 1754-1778), Butler Clowes (d. 1782), Isaac I. Taylor (1730-1807), Edward Rooker (1711-1774), Johann Sebastian Müller (1715-1785), William Foster? (d. 1812), James Hulett (d. 1771) and Hemerick, Folio (45.5 x 28 cm), rebacked contemporary reverse calf very worn, part of original leather title label to spine, replenished end papers. Chippendale's breakthrough furniture design book. The Director was the most extensive pattern book to be created by a craftsperson and the first to have a wider audience outside tradesmen. The immense popularity of the 1754 first edition and subsequent reissues increased commissions for Chippendale's firm and cemented his position as one of the most premier 18th-century cabinetmakers. It was The Gentleman and Cabinet Maker’s Director, first published in 1754, that made his name and reputation. A talented draughtsman, Chippendale completed the drawings himself (many of them now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art) that were engraved for printing by Matthias Darly.While a handful of furniture designs had been printed before, The Director was the first publication on such a large scale. The 160 plates were either bound at £1.14 shillings or loose at £1.10 shillingsThe first edition of The Director attracted 308 subscribers, 49 of them members of the gentry, but the majority were fellow craftsmen (including the Affleck family in Philadelphia) who used it to inform their own work.The book was reprinted in two further editions with the third in 1762 including updates to the styles of furniture as neoclassicism became the fashion of the day. All of Chippendale’s known commissions (with the exception of one) date from after the appearance of The Director: clearly the catalogue had its intended effect on stimulating his career.
