Lot 85

A large and imposing George III mahogany commode attributed to a St. Martin's Lane of London cabinet maker1770-1785, probably the forerunner to a design by Thomas ShearerThe large inverted breakfront central bank of drawers of serpentine form, the overhanging half-veneered top with an ogee moulded edge, above four long graduated oak-lined drawers flanked by two smaller banks totalling eight drawers, each bank comprising four short graduated oak-lined drawers, over a reverse ogee moulded plinth base, on shaped ogee bracket feet, the Rococo handles are 18th century, 164cm wide x 67cm deep x 106cm high, (64 1/2in wide x 26in deep x 41 1/2in high)Footnotes:The present lot appears to be closely comparable to a design by Thomas Shearer from his 1788 publication, 'Cabinet-Makers' London Book of Prices', which is illustrated in R. Fastnedge, Shearer Furniture Designs, 1962, London, pl. 17, fig. 1 & p.22. This same drawing also appears replicated in the Pictorial Dictionary of British 18th Century Furniture Design, compiled by E. White, 2000, Woodbridge, pl. 20 fig. 1, p.185. The offered commode has certain characteristics which have traditionally been solely associated with the documented output of Thomas Chippendale's workshop, especially during the third quarter of the 18th century. Two examples of these elements which are evident on the present chest are the use of red wash to the secondary timbers in parts, as well as the incorporation of 'stacked' or 'laminated blocking' to the bracket feet.However, following research undertaken in more recent years, it appears to have been the case that a number of cabinet makers operating in England during the second half of the 18th century employed many of the same or similar constructional features as Thomas Chippendale. At that time the vast majority of such firms, which were producing fashionable furniture to an extremely high standard largely but not exclusively for a wealthy and/or noble clientele, were located on St. Martin's Lane in London (or at least within its immediate environs). Aside from Chippendale, it is recorded that cabinet makers and 'upholsterers' as prominent and historically important as William Hallett, John Channon, William and John Linnell, William Vile and John Cobb, Benjamin Goodison and James Paine had their businesses located in this historically renowned area of the city. Another aspect of this striking commode is the exceptional quality of its densely grained mahogany timber which is particularly notable with regard to the half veneered top. Whilst the top itself, with its strikingly overhanging rear ends, elegant shaping overall and lovely moulded edge, is certainly reminiscent of some of Chippendale's finest output of the 1760s and 1770s.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot 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.

◆ PAIR OF GEORGE III SATINWOOD AND MARQUETRY DEMILUNE CONSOLE TABLES, ATTRIBUTED TO THOMAS the semi-elliptical tops inlaid with fan medallions and wide bands of leaves and anthemion, enclosed by narrow borders of anthemion and leaves separated by inlaid dot banding, the edges in Greek key, above friezes inlaid with conjoined floral paterae between carved leaf tip moulding and Vitruvian scroll inlay, raised on slender square tapering legs headed by carved elliptical paterae and inlaid with pendant husk trails ending in crisp laurel leaf carved square toupie feet(115cm wide, 91cm high, 48cm high)Provenance: Purchased Arthur S. Vernay, Inc., New York, 1920s The Collection of Mrs. John Rovensky, sold Sotheby's New York, 26 January 1957, lot 632 Sotheby's London, 3 June 1977, lot 137, where purchased by the vendor's family and thence by descentNote: This pair of demilune console tables with their fine inlay and marquetry details demonstrate the Neoclassical influence gaining in popularity in the second half of the 18th century. While deceptively simple in appearance, they are of exceptional quality and workmanship. Utilising a design vocabulary based on Greek and Roman antiquity, they eschew the extravagant excesses of the Rococo. Gone are the curvilinear outlines and scrolling embellishments, replaced with ordered repetition and symmetry. The tables bear design similarities to the famed library table by Thomas Chippendale, made for Harewood House, and commissioned by Edwin Lascelles, 1st Baron Harewood, and now in the collection at Temple Newsam. What is most directly related is the marquetry design of the frieze, with its repeat pattern of linked paterae, interspersed with further elliptical carved paterae. In the Parke-Bernet Rovensky sale catalogue of 1957, the tables are listed as ‘parcel-gilded’, however there is no mention of gilding when they re-emerge for sale at Sotheby’s, London, thirty years later. An examination of the black and white image from the 1957 catalogue shows what appears to be gilding on the carved feet and the carved paterae heading the legs. When the tables appeared at Sotheby’s in 1977, they were then attributed to Chippendale, an attribution that remains today. The New York socialite and heiress Mrs. Mae Manwaring Plant Hayward Rovensky [née Caldwell] was married four times, and was one of the richest women in the United States, with homes in New York City; Newport, Rhode Island; Palm Beach, Florida; Hartford, Connecticut; and Groton, New York. A woman of considerable charm, wit, and beauty, she famously persuaded her second husband Morton F. Plant, to negotiate the sale of their lavish Italian Renaissance Revival mansion on East 52nd Street and Fifth Avenue with Pierre Cartier for a rare double strand of one hundred and twenty-eight natural pearls. Maisie, as she was called, and Morton moved to their new, larger Italian Renaissance Revival mansion on East 89th Street and Fifth Avenue, and Cartier turned the 52nd Street mansion into the Cartier New York headquarters and showroom, which it remains to this day. As well as a lover of fine jewels, Mrs. Rovensky was a collector of the fine and decorative arts, and would have been well-known to all the top New York dealers. When she died in 1956, Parke-Bernet conducted the sale of her estate over two weeks in January 1957, with specialist catalogues dedicated to paintings, jewellery, silver, furniture, porcelain, and works of art. The news of her death, and the auction of her estate, was covered in Time magazine, in a story entitled "At The End Of An Avenue". The present pair of tables were offered in Part Two of the sale, which included the contents of Clarendon Court, Newport, and the final portion of the collection from 1051 Fifth Avenue, New York. Sold as lot 632, they are listed in the sale catalogue as a pair of ‘Hepplewhite’ demilune consoles, having been purchased from Arthur S. Vernay, Inc. New York. Based on the order of the sale and catalogue notes, it is believed the tables came from the Fifth Avenue mansion. Arthur Stannard Vernay (1877-1960) was one of the most successful and influential dealers in English antiques in the United States in the first decades of the 20th century. An Englishman, Vernay was born Arthur Avant but changed his name and came to America as a young man in 1904. By 1906 he had opened his first shop in New York City, called Arthur S. Vernay, Inc. on East 45th Street, near Madison Avenue. From the 1920s he had moved premises to East 54th Street, as well as having a shop in London at 217 Piccadilly, and a summer shop in Newport, Rhode Island. Catering to an elite clientele of New York clients, his roster of customers reads like a who’s who of early 20th century society with names like Vanderbilt, Guggenheim, and Morgan among others. Vernay retired from his eponymous antiques business in 1942, but it continued to operate, undergoing a name change in 1978 to Vernay & Jussel, and continued until 1994, when it ceased trading. Vernay’s extensive sales archives are in the Winterthur library.

A GEORGE II ENGRAVED BRASS-MOUNTED WALNUT STRONG BOX Second quarter 18th century, in the manner of Abraham Roentgen. of architectural form, the hinged cover with an arched carrying-handle, engraved as a foliate swag, the top encased on all sides with a brass band engraved with echinus and dentil moulding, each corner with Ionic pilasters on each face against a stonework background, with foliate swags connecting the pilasters, the lower edge of the front face centred with the figure of fortune, with two locks, the interior with a hinged panel in the cover, and a well with two divisions (possibly for tea caddies and a mixing bowl), 18 cm. high; 40 cm. wide; 20 cm. deepFurniture with engraved brass mounts was a distinctive feature of certain mid-18th century London makers including Abraham Roentgen, originally from Mulheim am Rhein, but worked in London from 1733-38 and again in 1766. Roentgen's co-religionist in the London chapter of the Moravian Brotherhood and fellow furniture maker, Frederick Hintz, also made furniture with engraved brass plaques. Furniture by the Exeter maker John Channon is also characterised by engraved brass, fuelling speculation that Roentgen, Hintz and Channon may have worked together (see Roentgen, Abraham (1711–1793) BIFMO (history.ac.uk)) Thomas Chippendale, in his Director, (3rd ed. 1762) recommended that for tea chests ‘the Ornaments should be of Brass or Silver’. Several London makers made engraved-brass mounted boxes for various uses, such as tea chests or dressing-boxes, some with exotic timbers. The only maker known to have made such boxes was Landall & Gordon, whose trade card featured a bombé tea chest (British Museum D,2.1273); a tea chest of the same design as that on their trade card is in the Victoria & Albert Museum (W.11:1 to 2-1965), and another in mahogany with brass inlay is signed T. LANDALL. See C. Gilbert & T. Murdoch, John Channon and brass-inlaid furniture 1730-1760, 1993, p. 20-21, pl. 13 & pp. 121-126. A similar tea chest was sold at Sotheby’s London, 26 October 2016, lot 1034.
