Lot 43
A pair of Scottish George III cast iron stoves modelled as Neoclassical urns, attributed to the Carron Company, likely to designs by Robert Adam, circa 1780, each lobed cover above an ovoid body cast with twin bearded mask handles, swags and foliage, above waisted circular socles, each with a circular aperture to the rear, 105cm high, 51cm wide overall The Carron Iron Company was founded in 1759 near Falkirk, Stirlingshire, by John Roebuck, Samuel Garbett and William Cadell. The model of the present urns is closely related to a late 18th century pen and ink drawing of a 'pedestal stove' found in the foundry's papers at the Scottish Record Office.The foundry specialised in creating use objects out of cast iron, combining practicality with fashionable designs. The Adam brothers were amongst the designers enlisted by the foundry, and it is likely that they were responsible for the Neoclassical design of the lot offered here. An urn stove on plinth of the same model, formerly at Compton Place, Sussex, is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, M.3-1920, and another example is at Temple Newsham House, Leeds.
Lot 273
A pair of George III sycamore and harewood inlaid serpentine card tables, circa 1790, possibly Irish, the tulipwood crossbanded tops revealing baize-lined interiors, each frieze centred by a harewood medallion of a butterfly, on tapered square legs headed by harewood urn medallions, 77cm high, 91cm wide, 45cm deep Provenance: Castle Hyde, Ireland The Hydes of Castle Hyde were a branch of the Berkshire family that owned land at South Denchworth and Kingston Lisle. Arthur Hyde (d. 1600) had settled in Ireland in the late sixteenth century and received a grant of 12,000 acres of confiscated lands at Carrigoneda, county Cork. His son and namesake (d. 1644) was knighted in 1624 and by 1670 the family were in possession of Castle Hyde. Hyde's father, a younger son, had in 1763 married a granddaughter of the 1st earl of Bessborough. The same year he replaced his father-in-law Benjamin Burton as Member for county Carlow in the Irish Parliament, where he sat until 1768 before representing county Cork, 1769-76. In 1772 he succeeded his unmarried brother Arthur to Castle Hyde, which at his death in 1797 passed to his elder son John Hyde MP who, in about 1801, employed architects, Hargrave of Cork to build the present house. In 1798 Hyde's sister Sarah married their second cousin Henry Boyle (1771-1842), who became 3rd earl of Shannon in 1807, an alliance which was reinforced by Hyde's marriage to another second cousin, Boyle's first cousin Elizabeth, in 1802. Douglas Hyde, founder of the Gaelic League and first Irish President, was a scion of this family. The House was eventually sold in 1851 to John Sadleir MP for £17,525, who in turn sold it again in 1861.Castle Hyde subsequently became the seat of John Wrixon Becher, second son of Sir William Wrixon Becher of Ballygiblin, to whom the present lot most probably belonged.
