A GEORGE III MAHOGANY SERPENTINE COMMODEIN THE MANNER OF THOMAS CHIPPENDALE, CIRCA 1765The moulded top above four long graduated drawers, on shaped and panel-moulded bracket feet99cm high, 113cm wide, 55cm deepThis commode relates in both form and quality of cabinet-work to documented examples of furniture produced by Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779). Of particular note are the handles which were a 'favourite Neo-Classical loop handle pattern' of Chippendale's. In addition the fielded panel detailing to the bracket feet have affinities to the Greek key motifs used on certain items of case furniture supplied by Chippendale for Paxton House, Berwickshire. However, the distinctive carved running lozenge pattern columns to the corners appear to be unparalleled in Chippendale's known oeuvre (see Christopher Gilbert, The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, Figs. 95, 263 and 415).Condition Report: Marks, scratches, chips, splits and abrasions consistent with age and use.Handles probably later lacquered with various wear and abrasions.Locks replaced.Some splits to cedar drawer linings.

A red wash has been applied to the underside of this chest, which is a feature of many documented pieces by Chippendale.

A SET OF EIGHT GEORGE III MAHOGANY DINING CHAIRSCIRCA 1810, IN THE MANNER OF THOMAS CHIPPENDALEEach with vertical splats with central bullseye, the supports united by x-stretchers Literature:F. Bamford, 'Weston Hall, Northamptonshire - II: The Home of Sir Sacheverell and Lady Sitwell', Country Life, 29 January 1976, p. 235, fig. 4.Catalogue Note:Part of this set of mahogany chairs was photographed in 1976 by Country Life at Weston Hall, in the Dining Room, formerly the Great Parlour (F. Bamford, 'Weston Hall, Northamptonshire - II: The Home of Sir Sacheverell and Lady Sitwell', Country Life, 29 January 1976, p. 235, fig. 4). The chair backs of these chairs are closely related to those on a set of twelve satinwood side chairs from Harewood House, Yorkshire, 1790s, attributed to Thomas Chippendale Junior (J. Goodison, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale Junior, London and New York, 2017, p. 309, plate 101). Another mahogany set with tapering baluster legs formerly at Normanton Hall, Rutland, comprising two armchairs and eighteen single chairs was described by Christopher Gilbert as possibly by Chippendale Senior or Junior, c. 1775-80 (C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, vol. II, London, 1978, plate 171; chairs from this set now in a private collection have more recently been re-attributed to Chippendale Junior (Goodison, ibid., plates 102-4).The design of these chairs may have been inspired by designs in Thomas Sheraton's The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book, 1st Edition, 1793 - see part III, plate XXXIII for a design for a parlour chair with upholstered circular seat (ed. E. White, Pictorial Dictionary of British 18th Century Furniture Design: The Printed Sources, Woodbridge, reprinted 2000, p. 93). This influential publication featured a number of designs for pierced splat chair backs, which presumably could be modified at will by the furniture-maker (ibid., p. 94, plate XXXVI, p. 95, plate XXVIII). Condition Report: There are some marks, scratches, chips, splits, abrasions consistent with age and use, some to the extremities and edges including the legs and feet.Some sections of repairs and losses to include a repaired crack to one crest rail; some traces of glue, some later blocks to the underside of the seat rails; some later seat rails, various dowelled and other repairs to the turned x stretchers; some repairs where the legs meet the seat rail; one chair lacking a section of wood to the crest rail.There is evidence of old worm including some visible to the seat rails.The velvet upholstery is aged, worn and faded with some moth spots, the seats sagging. Some of the chairs have cloth nailed to the underside of the seats. The back legs in the area of the seat rails have marks suggesting that this area was, at some stage, upholstered with brass studs.Please note we have not inspected the frame beneath the upholstery and can't comment on the condition and originality of this area.Please refer to the additional images for a visual reference of condition.

A MID-VICTORIAN WALNUT DISPLAY CABINET-ON-STAND mid-19th century, of George II style, the rectangular top with scrolled corner brackets, above a mirrored frieze and a pair of glazed doors with quatrefoil borders, enclosing a grey watered-silk lined interior with four shaped adjustable shelves, the lower section with a pair of glazed doors below a quatrefoil-pierced gadrooned waist moulding, on quatrefoil pierced legs with pierced angle brackets, 215cm high x 107cm wide x 37cm deep .Provenance: The Brymer family at Ilsington House, Puddletown, DorsetThe cabinet-on-stand is characteristic of the ‘Chippendale Revival’ style, which was popular in the 1830s and 1840s after John Weale claimed his collection of engravings published c. 1834 were after Thomas Chippendale’s Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director, 1759-1764, when in reality they were fanciful reimaginings (see Bowett & Lomax, Thomas Chippendale: A celebration of British Craftsmanship and Design, ~2018, p. 192, no. 8.5). This coincided with a revival of interest in the Gothic style of decoration and architecture, encouraged by the contemporary publications of the leading Gothic revivalist architect A. W. N. Pugin and others. Whilst Pugin encouraged a medievalist approach to decoration, others sought to revive earlier popular styles including the great age of English furniture, epitomised by the work of Thomas Chippendale. Chippendale’s famous ‘Violin’ Bookcase at Wilton House, Wiltshire, also included a mirror in its door; the compact china cabinet supplied for the 5th Earl of Dumfries for Dumfries House, Ayrshire in the late 1750s is designed in a loosely exotic style.
