A George III mahogany serpentine commode attributed to Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779)Circa 1770, the overhanging top with a reverse ogee moulded edge, above four long graduated drawers, the mahogany-lined frieze drawer enclosing three open compartments, over three oak-lined drawers, with an ogee moulded plinth base terminating in scrolled and shaped bracket feet, 145cm wide x 68cm deep x 92cm high, (57in wide x 26 1/2in deep x 36in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceDuring the late 18th century it is highly probable that the offered lot was housed at Ham Court, which was located in the Malvern Hills, Worcestershire.Ham Court served as the historic family home of the Bromleys and the Bromley-Martins from the early 17th century until its demolition in 1926.Major Elliott George Bromley-Martin (1866-1946) most likely gained ownership of the present commode at the same time as inheriting Ham Court, his birthplace, from his father George Edward Bromley-Martin (1829-1905).Thence the commode passed by descent to Gerald E. Bromley-Martin (1906-1954), who was the Major's son. Following Gerald's death in 1954, it is listed as a 'Chippendale mahogany serpentine chest of 4 drawers' in the probate valuation undertaken at Hardley Hall, Norwich, by a firm called Irelands, who were likewise located in Norwich (it is interesting to note that at that time the individual value is given as £45).Subsequently this serpentine chest belonged to Gerald's son, Christopher Bromley-Martin (1935-2018), and has clearly remained within the family since 2018.The Attribution to Thomas ChippendaleComparable commodes include one evidently supplied in circa 1770 by Thomas Chippendale to Wilton House, Wiltshire and a pair dating to 1774 apparently also made by Chippendale for Paxton House, in Paxton near Berwick-upon-Tweed upon behalf of Mrs Home-Robertson. Interestingly these two different models both appear illustrated together on the same page in C. Gilbert, The Life and Work of Thomas Chippendale, 1978, London, fig.'s 205 & 206, p. 117.Also, certain characteristics apparent in the construction of the offered lot, when assessed altogether, lead logically to a Chippendale attribution. These characteristics are; the presence of S-shaped keyholes or escutcheons; laminated blocking to the bracket feet; the use of a red wash to the underside and reverse of the drawer fronts; the selection of an extremely fine mahogany timber. Added to this, the design used for the handles (which appear to be original) is also fairly typical of Chippendale's output during the period 1765-1774.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.

A George III mahogany writing table after a design by Thomas ChippendaleCirca 1760, of rectangular form with canted front angles, with a 'Chinoiserie' blind fretwork frieze incorporating one long drawer, with a baize-lined sliding top inset with an adjustable hinged ratcheted writing surface, enclosing six compartments and a swivel hinged stationery drawer to one side, on twinned columnar front legs and two square section rear legs each headed by interlaced scrolled spandrels, terminating in block feet, on castors, 118cm wide x 66cm deep x 79cm high, (46in wide x 25 1/2in deep x 31in high)Footnotes:The offered lot closely follows a design, originally published in 1754, which was produced by Thomas Chippendale and features in his groundbreaking work, The Gentleman & Cabinet-Maker's Director, No. LXXIII. Although the present lot is virtually identical to this drawing it has not been possible to attribute this table to Chippendale's workshop. This is due to there being no available provenance for the table, combined with an absence of easily identifiable Chippendale characteristics such as S-shaped keyholes, short grain kickers or a thin red wash to give a few relevant examples.Also, because of the huge popularity and influence of all three editions of the 'Director', Chippendale's designs from that publication were widely copied and imitated across Great Britain, particularly during the period 1755-70 making the task of attribution even more arduous.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.

A George III mahogany serpentine serving table, circa 1760, attributed to William Vile, the figured top with triple slender banding border by broader crossbanding, the frieze with beaded borders and above a carved 'pagoda' edge, each tapering cabriole leg surmounted by a naturalistically carved palmette leaf also issuing trailing bellflowers, on scroll and acanthus leaf carved feet, 85cm high, 150cm wide, 72cm deepWilliam Vile (1700-1767) was one of the foremost English cabinet makers of the mid Georgian period. From 1761 to 1764 in partnership with fellow cabinet maker John Cobb they became Cabinet-makers and Upholsterers to His Majesty, George III. Their standard of craftmanship was rivalled only by that of Thomas Chippendale. Many parallels between known works by Vile and this table can be drawn. The gadrooned apron features to a less accentuated extent on an Work table of related form in the Royal Collection (RCIN 11109), currently in The King's Bedroom at Windsor Castle. A Jewel Cabinet with closely related legs incorporating scroll, channel and bellflower carving is also held in the royal collection (RCIN 35487). Two bills exists from Vile to Queen Charlotte for these items (form 1761 and 1763 respectively). A cabinet attributed to William Vile incorporating closely related gadrooning and bead moulding is currently in the stock of Ronald Phillips, London, and features on their website. Furthermore, the use of well figured Cuban mahogany is consistent with Vile's use of materials (see Library table, Metropolitain Museum of Art, 24.103.3). Overall the quality of carving and elegance of from show this table to be the work of a craftsman of exceptional prominence. The dating and stylistic qualities strongly suggest this to be William Vile. Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips and splits. Some fading overall. Of polished appearance. Very slight warp to top. Some small amounts of filler used in places. Some minor evidence of old worm to interior of carcass and back panel. The edge of the top with some small sections of replacement veneer and some sections re-stuck. Later block applied to centre of the back panel for a candle arm to be fixed. The blocking throughout the edges of the underside of the top possibly suggest that it experienced some movement causing a minimal raise to the centre and was removed and re-secured. The blocks are likely there to prevent further movement. To the outer corners of the rear edge of the top small brass fixtures with a central aperture have been secured.Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition.

A George III padouk Pembroke table, attributed to Thomas Chippendale, circa 1760, referred to also as a 'Breakfaste' or Supper table, the twin hinged rectangular top with moulded edge, above a frieze drawer mounted with 'axe head' handles, the recessed gilt wire-work panel inset compartment beneath, fronted by a hinged and folding door, on square section legs, terminating in casters, 71cm high, 106cm wide (when open), 61cm deep Provenance: Earl of Perth, Stobhall Castle. Supplied to him by Ronald A. Lee (Works of Art, TheManor House, Byfleet, Surrey) 29th June 1965 (£450). Ronald A. Lee sold an astonishingly wide range of objects, to important collectors and museums all over the world. A key driver for him appears to have been the historical significance and beauty of objects.This table relates directly to a design for a 'Breakfaste Table' in Thomas Chippendales 1st Edition of the Gentleman and Cabinet Makers Director, (1754), plate XXXIII, and included again in the 3rd Edition of 1762 (Plate LIII). A comparable table was supplied to William, 5th Earl of Dumfries for Dumfries House, Ayrshire, Scotland. (See C. Gilbert, The Life & Work of Thomas Chippendale, London, 1978, vol.I, p.131, vol. II, fig. 401). The distinctive 'axe- head' handles of the current table are characteristic of Chippendale's output during the 1750's and 60's and feature on both a shaving table the comparable 'Breakfaste' or supper table at Dumfries House. For closely related examples see Christie's, London, 'Living with Art, a Private Collection' 10th Feb 2012, Lot 757 (£46,850) and Christie's London, The Mermaid House Collection, Important English Furniture 12th November 1998, Lot 20 (£44,400).
