Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions comensurate with age and useSome old chips and splits, some old repairs including various old veneer repairs. Sympathetic treatment of the commode without great expense could bring the commode to its potential. The marble top is likely to be original . Some small areas filler used to disguise old loss. Some old chips to the edges of the marble (as expected for age) Some splits and stains to drawer interiors as expected for age The handles and mounts appear original. Some sections of them are loose and require simple re-securing. There is a small 'gap' above each of the uppermost corner mounts (and above one atleast one vacant pin hole) therefore the current mounts may have been replaced or moved down. They do appear to match the remaining mounts well. The locks appear to be of the period or are possibly later 18th century replacements. Some screws/ nails have been replaced with later screws, some are lacking. Where one lock is loose there is some additional fragmentary loss beneath. Lacking Key. Some signs of old worm damage Some spotted blooming to varnish/ surface of one side panel. Please refer to all of the additional images available via email for visual reference to condition.

The locks to the doors appear original and keys present to operate them. Rear panels all appear original, tape has been later applied to the meeting of the panels as most often seen. One 'leaf' mount to one foot seems likely to be a later re-cast replacement. The casting of the detail seems inferior to the other mounts. and is 'rough' in appearance. Some signs of old worm damage. This is mainly isolated to the elements of the carcass and supporting blocks to feet to the underside of each cupboard. There are some signs of old worm damage in other areas.

A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY SERPENTINE COMMODE IN THE MANNER OF THOMAS CHIPPENDALE, CIRCA 1770 The upper drawer fitted with an arrangement of lidded compartments with harewood crossbanding and further storage, below a baize lined slide 83cm high, 173cm wide, 60cm deep Provenance: Purchased from Charles Lumb & Sons Ltd, Harrogate, 27th September 1976 (£4,250). The original invoice and accompanying photograph is available with this lot. The elegant serpentine form of this commode is directly comparable to a number of commodes from some of Thomas Chippendale's most notable commissions, including Harewood House, Nostell Priory and Osterley Park. Further comparisons can be made to commode designs from The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1762; two particular sketches by Chippendale share close form to the present lot and it can be argued that these two sketches combine to create the outline and drawer arrangement of this commode (V&A Museum D.720-1906; P. Ward-Jackson, English Furniture Designs of the Eighteenth Century, 1958, pl.106). A black lacquer commode attributed to Chippendale that also shares the same outline as the present lot can be seen, Sotheby's London, Important English Furniture, 7th & 14th May 1993, Lot 150. See also The Nostell Priory Commode, Nostell Priory, West Yorkshire, from the workshop of Thomas Chippendale (NT 959751) for a green lacquered example of similar form and outline. Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use Some of the old expected chips Some old moulding and veneer repairs (see images) Key present and operates all locks All metalware, including the handles and locks appears original Baize to the slide of the upper drawer is a replacement The central fitted section to the upper drawer appears to previously had a hinged dressing mirror, which is now lacking One loper is missing its stopper, so it can be completely removed Some possible later securing screws to the backboard The feet to the commode have been reduced in height from their bases. This has been neatly done and the commode stands well. The feet could be 'built up' again with the attention of a qualified restorer to bring the commode back to its previous height and proportions Small section of loss to moulding of base (see images) Please see all additional images as a visual reference to conditionCondition Report Disclaimer
Y A PAIR OF LOUIS XVI ORMOLU MOUNTED, MARQUETRY AND PARQUETRY SIDE CABINETS BY J H RIESENER, ADAPTED FROM CORNER CABINETS Each of slight stepped serpentine form, sycamore, fruitwoods and Amaranth with a rectangular mottled russet marble top inset within gilt bronze petal mouldings, drawer to the frieze mounted with guilloche enclosing flowerheads with acorns and oak leaves, above a pair of tambour doors inlaid with large sprays of moss and cabbage-roses, hollyhocks and tulips, one stamped faintly twice on the front right corner J.H. RIESENER 100cm high, 101cm wide, 29cm deep Provenance: Sotheby's London, 1st July 1966, Lot 134 where described as: 'A HIGHLY IMPORTANT PAIR OF EARLY LOUIS XVI ORMOLU-MOUNTED MARQUETRY AND PARQUETRY SIDE CABINETS, Signed J H Riesener' when purchased for the late owner's mother by Pelham Galleries, London The Estate of a deceased Gentleman. The original 1966 Sotheby's catalogue and a copy of the receipt will be made available to the successful purchaser. Jean-Henri Riesener maître in 1768. In their present form as side cabinets, they can be usefully compared with a single cabinet made by Riesener in 1773 for Pierre-Elisabeth de Fontanieu, the Intendant et Contrôleur Général des Meubles de la Couronne, for his own official residence in the Place Louis XV in Paris. Fontanieu's cabinet was in the famous collection of John Jones, bequeathed to the Victoria & Albert Museum in 1882. Like the present pair, the cabinet was converted from a corner cupboard, probably in the mid-19th century (V&A 1082-1882). Another comparison is with the commode in the Hôtel du Garde Meuble, Paris (Al-Thani collection) which Riesener delivered in 1775 for the bedroom of Madame Randon de Pommery, wife of the Garde-Général of the Garde Meuble de la Couronne. The commode is fitted with almost identical central apron mounts and has strikingly similar guilloche panels to the side frieze drawers - interspersed with comparable oval paterae mounts above comparable scrolling floral feet mounts. The commode was sold from the Desmarais Collection, Christie's New York, 30 April 2019 lot 51, $1,155,000. Literature: Pierre Verlet, Le mobilier Français du XVIIIème Siècle, 1967, pl. 13. F.J.B. Watson, Louis XVI Furniture, fig. 54. P. Kjellberg, The French Furniture of the XVIIIth Century, Paris, 1989, p. 696, cat A. Comparative Literature : Helen Jacobsen, Rufus Bird & Mia Jackson, Jean-Henri Riesener: Cabinetmaker to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, London, 2020 We are grateful to Rufus Bird, Deputy Surveyor and Surveyor of the Queen's Works of Art 2010-2021 for his contribution to this catalogue entry. Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and useSome old chips and splits, some old repairs, some minor losses. Both cabinets have locks to the doors (of late 19th or early 20th century period) The keys are present to operate them. Please note: as catalogued, these have been adapted from their original form. In the original cataloguing it is stated that they are converted from encoignure. It is possible that they were converted from another form of cabinetThe cabinets incorporate various later timbers and veneers throughout. Period elements have likely been adapted also. There is some variation in the construction of the two cabinets. It is impossible to qualify exactly how the conversion has been made. As the cabinets have changed form and the mounts match the current outline of the cabinets, it is likely that some or all gilt metal mounts have been altered/ changed or associated to the cabinets during the process of converting their form. Some repairs to the marble tops with filler to disguise losses and one with disguised metal brace securing an old break at one corner (see images)The cabinets were previously 'anchored'/ secured to the wall in position or would fall forwards. They would need to be secured for use now so they do not fall forwards. There is a chance that the main door panels were not tambour door originally and have been later converted to tambour The elements of marquetry itself appear to be of 18th century period.

Y A NORTH ITALIAN PALISANDER, EBONISED AND MARQUETRY COMMODE POSSIBLY MILAN, LATE 18TH CENTURY With a rouge griotte marble top 81cm high, 113cm wide, 59cm deep Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use Some old chips, splits and losses The marble top is associated and with repairs using some filler and bracing.

Drawer linings and some interior supporting elements appear to be replaced Handles and escutcheons are possibly original and have a polished appearance, they may also be period replacements Please see all images as a visual reference to condition.
