Literature The inclusion as a surround of strapwork (`scroll-workÕ) is a distinct feature of Antwerp design in around 1545 introduced by Cornelis Floris and published in Antwerp in 1556 in his compendium Veelderleij Veranderinghe van Grotissen ende Compertimenten (Multiple variations of grotesques and compartments). It became a recurring motif in Flemish tapestries both in the picture plane and in the border. See Guy Delmarcel Flemish Tapestries London 1999 pp.110-111 for a tapestry depicting Envy from the series of The Seven Deadly Sins woven in Brussels after cartoons by Pieter Coecke circa 1555 from the workshop of Willem de Pannemaker and bearing the weaverÕs monogram in the bottom corner of the right hand side border. This border has similar motifs of the ribbon interlaced through the side borders the same pale blue ground the inclusion of cherubs and strapwork clad containers and use of fruit and foliage. W
A set of eight George II laburnum dining chairs probably Scottish second quarter 18th century with vase splats and drop-in-seats on square legs with stretchers h.96cm. w.52cm. A Scottish attribution seems credible as aside from the chairs provenance the use of laburnum could well be an indicator. Unlike the small yellow flowered tree so common in England Scottish laburnum comes from a large species Cytisus Alpinus. It was (and is) one of the most prized timbers for cabinet and chair-making north of the border particularly in the East where Perth and Montrose were important centres of production. Tellingly it is commonly used in the manufacture of bag-pipes. William Boutcher in his Forest Trees published in Edinburgh in 1775 noticed that 'some preferred (it) even to mahogany for its solidity and beautiful colour ... and I myself have seen a large table and a dozen chairs of it in the possession of a noble Lord.' Indeed some of the best laburnum furniture survives in the collection of the Duke of Atholl at Blair Castle. For further examples of Scottish laburnum furniture see David Jones 'The Laburnum Tradition in Scotland' Regional Furniture History 1992 pp.1-10. W
