A WORCESTER TURQUOISE-GROUND LONDON DECORATED SPARROW-BEAK JUG AND COVER, PROBABLY THE ATELIER OF JAMES GILES, HARLEQUIN SERVICE CIRCA 1770 Painted with two gilt-lined panels of exotic birds and a fiddler in a landscape, Meissen style crossed swords mark and paper collection labels 14cm highProvenance: The Earls of Lonsdale and thence the Leonard Fuller CollectionThe 5th Earl of Lonsdale (1857-1944), also known as 'The Yellow Earl' for his love of that colour, inherited enormous wealth in part from his late father's coalmines in Cumbria. He was a great sportsman, master of both the Quorn and the Cottesmore in his time, as well as having associations with racing and boxing. His extravagance and the closure of the mines in the 20th century meant he had to sell many an estate and upon his death in 1944, his brother the 6th Earl was forced to sell Lowther Castle, the Lonsdale seat in Cumbria. In 1947, the contents were put up for auction in what was to be the largest house sale of the 20th century. Though pure speculation, it is possible that this Giles decorated jug was purchased at that sale by the Fullers. For a closely related example see Christie's, New York, Property From the Collection of Mrs. J. Insley Blair (1618), 21 January 2006, Lot 603, ($132,000 incl. BP).

Please note, the top is mahogany but the base (including the legs and friezes) are probably of fruitwood or beech  Condition Report: Overall there are some scratches, marks, chips, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are some losses and restorations: some dark staining worn over the years; the table top has a slightly indented join; later fixing marks to some corners of the top; some leaf tip chips and some possibly replaced as dark stained; later blocks to the underside.There is evidence of old worm; the table is solid and of reassuring weight.The table has unusual carving displaying detailed fluency and design to all four sides. Please see all the additional condition report photographs through the link on the condition report email as a visual reference of condition.The flecking in the timber of the top gives the timber the appearance of possibly being closer to what has been called 'red walnut' . The dark patina to the frieze and legs makes it more difficult to distinguish for certain but the inclusion of pale coloured flecking would lead to the conclusion that the legs and frieze are made from a fruitwood or beech. Although one might suggest beech, the natural build up of patina and a reddish colour (alongside less consistent flecking) would possibly more strongly suggest a fruitwood.  Condition Report Disclaimer
