A FRENCH TRANSITIONAL BLACK AND GILT LACQUER AND JAPANNED TABLE EN CABARET MID 18TH CENTURY, THE LACQUER TOP PROBABLY CHINESE The dished top depicting various vases and symbols, the frieze with birds in landscapes and with a side drawer on slender square cabriole legs with foliate sabots 69cm high, 44cm wide, 33.5cm deep Lacquer objects from across the far east were exported and admired by European courts, especially in France, where the French term japonner (‘to japan’) meant to lacquer or to varnish. Most of the pieces imported from Japan and China via India were adapted to Western customs and tastes and the incorporation of fragile lacquer panels into elaborately shaped pieces of French furniture was the height of fashion in the middle of the 18th century, epitomising the successful marriage of European and Asian aesthetics in French luxury. Under the reign of Louis XV in 1730, the vogue for lacquered furniture developed under the influence of the so-called marchands-merciers , merchants dealing in objects of art and luxury goods. Initially they imported complete furniture such as chests, cabinets and screens to be sold on the local markets. However, gradually they started dismantling the pieces by cutting out their lacquered panels or vignettes to apply as decorations on French-made pieces, the panels quite often framed using gilt mounts to enhance the decoration. This type of table, known in the 18th Century as a table en cabaret , was intended for the drinking of tea and coffee. Introduced into France in the late 17th Century, the great luxuries of tea and coffee became hugely fashionable, firing the imaginations of the marchands-merciers to create furniture appropriate for their consumption. Condition Report: Good, structurally secure with wear and tear consistent with age and use. There are dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks, the lacquer panel on top with typical craquelure. Some minor refreshment to the blacking of the friezes and legs. The drawer interior painted red, there are remains of an old paper label in the drawer. Condition Report Disclaimer

A MATCHED PAIR OF REGENCY MAHOGANY AND CANED 'KLISMOS' LIBRARY ARMCHAIRS CIRCA 1820, POSSIBLY BY THOMAS CHIPPENDALE THE YOUNGER Each with a curved back terminating in lotus scrolls and with lotus-carved brackets, wih a caned back and seat with buttoned green/gold striped silk squab cushion, on tapering turned and reeded legs with brass caps and castors, differences in dimension and detail including to the carving of the front legs, one chair with restorations 82cm high, 68cm wide, 60cm deep Provenance: Sir Timothy & Lady Clifford, Tyninghame House, Scotland. Jean-Claude Ciancimino (1931-2014) from whom acquired by the present owner These sophisticated and fluently carved library armchairs follow the ancient Greek klismos, doubtless inspired by similar neoclassical models illustrated in Thomas Hope’s Household Furniture and Interior Decoration ( 1807). The radically curved back and profile also relates to a ‘Library Reading Chair’ by the Strand cabinet-makers Morgan and Sanders (fl. 1801-20) published in Rudolph Ackermann’s Repository of the Arts , 1810 (fig. 1). The model also bears comparison with several of the idiosyncratic designs of Thomas Chippendale the Younger (d.1823), notably to a group of chairs produced in his later years which share the same muscular character of the present examples, as well as the tightly scrolled lappets on the arm terminals, tapering fluted legs, and fine timber (see Judith Goodison, Thomas Chippendale the Younger , 2017, in particular fig. 131, p. 329). While the provenance for each chair is different and there are variations in the turning of the front legs, other features are identical indicating that these distinctive chairs were made by the same cabinetmaker, perhaps to furnish a substantial library, as seen in the design variants undertaken by Chippendale the Younger at Stourhead. Several examples are known, including one at 10 Downing Street, the British Prime Minister’s residence. A single chair of this pattern was sold by Hutchinson Scott, Skipton, 19-20 June 2020, lot 664. Condition Report: Good, structurally secure with wear and tear consistent with age and use. There are dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks throughout but overall the chairs are well presented and ready for use. Cushions and caning in good order. Note the small differences in detail, eg the carving of arm terminals, chamfer on seat rails, castors etc. One chair with old repairs and it seems likely one chair was quite extensively restored in the distant past though it's very possible that they were supplied as a long set with differences at the outset, or alternatively an existing set was enlarged with the addition of further chairs of slightly different deail.

Miss Sarah Ponsonby, for the Gothic Library at Plas Newydd; Offered for sale by George Robins Auctioneer, London, 13 - 20 June 1832, lot 16 (unsold); Sold from Plas Newydd, June 1918; Acquired from the above by J.H. Duveen on behalf of James Bellhouse Gaskell (1848 -1925) Thence by descent to William Rawstone Gaskell, later to his wife Florence Melland, and by descent to her granddaughter, Deborah Rettie Together with Richard James Lane (1800-1872) After a drawing by Lady Leighton; Proof copy of the Ladies of Llangollen: The Rt Hon Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Ponsonby , lithograph, lettered below image with title, facsimile of sitter's autographs with their dates of death, 29 x 22cm (11¼ x 8½in.); and a coloured lithograph of the same subject by J.H. Lynch Provenance: Purchased at the sale at Plas Newydd, for Lord Duveen, 1918 These Gothic armchairs were in the collection of the renowned Ladies of Llangollen, Lady Eleanor Butler (1739-1829) and the Hon. Miss Sarah Ponsonby (1755-1831), in the Gothic library at Plas Newydd, Llangollen, in the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. They are illustrated in a lithograph dated circa 1836 by Richard James Lane (1799–1872), which was based on a watercolour by Lady Mary Leighton (née Parker), composed from clandestine sketches taken from life during a visit in 1828 (see Parker Leighton, `The Ladies of Llangollen’ Country Life, 26 September 141, p. 591). The lithograph depicts Butler and Ponsonby seated in a virtually identical pair of chairs at a table with their cat. While the acorn finials and caned backs are recognisable, there is evidently some artistic license in the rendition, for example, the arms, which in the lithograph are not padded. In the 1832 sale of the contents of Plas Newydd, conducted by Charles Robbins, the chairs, which are listed in the library, were offered as lot 15 ‘two black chairs gothic pattern, cane bottoms’ but were apparenly unsold. However, in 1884, they are not listed in the house as they do not appear in General Yorke’s Plas Newydd: As it was and As it is, A Catalogue of the Contents published that year. From 1832-1918, there were six changes of ownership at Plas Newydd; it is possible the chairs remained a part of the ‘fittings’ of the house and sold with the house. They can next be firmly identified in the 1918 house sale, conducted by Brown & Brown, in the library, lot 1322: ‘FINE OLD PAIR OF ARMCHAIRS, of Chippendale Gothic Design, with cane panelled square backs surmounted by an open rail and carved finials, the arm rests terminating in hexagonal fluted pillars, resting on casters, and fitted with loose hair seats in brown morocco leather. (The chairs in which the Ladies of Llangollen were portrayed in the popular lithograph)’. Find out more Condition Report: Good, structurally secure, with wear and tear consistent with age and use. There are minor dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks. The cane and leather in good order. The carving and tracery well executed and in good condition and the castors original. The slender arm supports and legs undamaged. Overall a fine quality pair of armchairs in honest, original and very well preserved condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

Y A LATE GEORGE III SATINWOOD, INDIAN ROSEWOOD AND BRONZED D-SHAPED SIDE CABINET CIRCA 1800 With a pair of brass wire grill doors and similar sides, the reverse sides on the doors satinwood veneered, the frieze with finely detailed bronzed palmettes and anthemion, enclosing two mahogany edged satinwood shelves, mahogany back boards 91cm high, 101cm wide, 47cm deep This highly sophisticated display cabinet, veneered in expensive and fashionable imported hardwoods and mounted with a contrasting faux bronze, neoclassical frieze, was intended to display a collection of precious objects, given the depth of vision enabled by the curved sides and the extravagant use of exotic timbers for the interior. The shelves and inner door frames are veneered in satinwood and the backboard is of richly figured mahogany, inviting close inspection of the contents. Several idiosyncratic design details provide a plausible clue to authorship, notably the Louis XVI influenced Sheraton pattern D-profile form, the contrasting frieze, and the accomplished use of exotic timbers, all variously seen on furniture by Seddon & Co, one of London's leading cabinet-makers from the last quarter of the 18th century into the Regency. It is also interesting to note the firm’s use of plinth bases on cabinet furniture, rather than legs, evidenced by two labelled examples published by Christopher Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700 - 1840 , 1996, pages 414, 415, pls. 823, 824. The frieze is clearly derived from antiquity and would have been known from published designs such as Charles Tatham’s Etchings , 1803, and Thomas Hope’s Household Furniture and Interior Decoration , 1807, both of which served to disseminate and popularise such designs. In fact the pattern bears close comparison to the frieze from the Erechtheion, the ionic temple dedicated to Athena built on the slope of the Acropolis hill, Athens (421 – 406 BC), a fragment of which was in the collection of Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, acquired by the British Museum in 1816 (Museum no. 1816,0610.255), suggesting that the cabinet might have been intended for the display of antiquities or architectural fragments. Despite a notable list of clients including the Empress of Russia, the 5th Duke of Bedford, Lord Howard of Audley End and Lord Mansfield of Kenwood House, few pieces survive that can definitively be associated with specific commissions and indeed, apart from patent desks, any labelled or signed furniture by Seddon is rare before 1815. Condition Report: Good, structurally secure with minor general wear and tear. There are minor dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks. The wire grilles apparently original.

SIMON-JOSEPH-ALEXANDRE-CLÉMENT DENIS (FLEMISH 1755-1813) A TURKISH CAPRICCIO Oil on canvas Signed with initial and dated ‘1790’ (lower left) 50 x 63cm (19½ x 24.in.) Provenance: Sotheby’s, New York, 17 January 1986, lot 136 Sotheby’s, New York, 22 May 1997, lot 20 Matthiesen Gallery, London Literature: Brachini, Simon Denis (1755-1813) in Italia: dipinti e disegni do paesaggio, Doctoral thesis, University of Bologna, 2003, no. 11 Simon Denis (1755-1813) was born in Antwerp where he studied before moving to Paris, gaining the patronage of Jean-Baptiste Le Brun, whose support allowed him to move to Rome after 1786. Denis specialised in finished landscapes of famous sites, such as the waterfalls of Tivoli, which brought great acclaim and a close relationship with the head of the French academy in Rome, as well as with other artists including Le Brun's wife Elisabeth Vigée-Le Brun. Denis' meticulous technique, skillfully depicts naturalistic details and light effects and the artist is considered an early exponent of plein-air painting, making open air oil sketches around Rome which he usually signed and annotated. He was appointed court painter to Joseph Bonaparte, King of Naples, in 1806, and remained in Italy until his death in 1813. Paintings depicting Ottoman Turkey during the second half of the eighteenth century were usually painted by resident European artists and were essentially documentary in nature. There were a number of travel books published in the period, aimed at depicting precisely the topography of the Ottoman Empire and the customs and habits of its people with huge engraved plates drawn by prominent local European artists, for example M. d'Olisson, Tableaux Général de L'Empire Othoman , which began publication in Paris in 1787. The increased interest in Turkey was also stimulated by the Ottoman embassies to France in 1721 and 1742 where a fascination developed with Ottoman tented cities, particularly after the presentation by the Sultan to Louis XV of a number of Ottoman tents. The present detailed landscape composition is essentially a Turkish riverside capriccio in neoclassical taste, and was painted during the first year of the French Revolution. There is no record of the artist ever having visited Turkey, but in the present work he has espoused all the stereotypical elements of a traditional Turkish landscape, perhaps drawn from artists who had visited in the previous century, The characters along the bank of the river are dressed in turbans and depicted drinking coffee and smoking chibouk pipes, with camels crossing the stone bridge. The present work is an example of the phenomenon of the vogue for ‘le goût turquerie’ that occurred in eighteenth-century in England, France, and Italy. The present work is unique in the artist's oeuvre. The elegant European figure on the far bank is intriguing and may portray the artist's patron. The painting may have been executed as a commission from an aristocratic client who was a devotee of Turquerie and who had been displaced from France by the Revolution or possibly one of the visiting English ‘milordi’, perhaps the prominent man in western dress, tailcoat and breeches, in the centre of the painting, who looks back at the artist. For devotees of the Grand Tour a Turkish landscape capriccio was part of a continual demand for exotic novelties which gave a glimmer of a fanciful world created during the ancient regime that was collapsing.
