OF GRAND TOUR INTEREST - A Regency or George IV mahogany centre table with an Italian early 19th century specimen marble and hardstone topthe specimen top circa 1815, the table 1820-1825 and almost certainly Scottish or Irish in originThe circular top inset with a central roundel encompassed by six concentric circles incorporating a total of one hundred and forty inlaid radiating segments of assorted marbles, hardstones and minerals, the specimens probably including verde antico, porfido verde antico, val d'aosta, granito verde antico, Spanish brocatello, jaune brocatelle, porphyry, Sicilian jasper, granito rosso antico, cipollino, lumachella nera, alabastro, portasanta, fior di pesco, rouge languedoc, breccia traccagnina, portoro, petit antique, occhio di pavone, lapis lazuli, malachite and agate, on a beaded, acanthus wrapped and lobed column with a lotus-leaf collar and fluted spreading socle, the concave tripartite base with a reeded edge, terminating in scrolled corbel-headed lion paw feet, with recessed brass castors, the table stamped: '9589', the diameter of the top: 96cm; 77cm high.Footnotes:ProvenanceThe present table previously formed part of the collection of Sir Edmond Adair Hodson, 5t Bt. (1893-1972), Hollybrook House, County Wicklow, in Ireland. Evidently the table passed by descent through the family down to the current owner and vendor, although it is not known exactly when it was first acquired by the family.The marvellous Italian early 19th century specimen marble and hardstone top surmounting the offered lot is virtually identical (and of the exact same design) to the one forming the top of a rosewood centre table, dated circa 1820 and attributed to Gillows, which sold Christie's, London, 22 January 2009, Lord St. Helens and Sir William Fitzherbert, The Collections of a Diplomat and a Courtier, lot 550. During the early 19th century, a dealer called François de Sanctis, whose operation was based in Rome, was one of a number of retailers who sold colourful specimen tabletops, just like the present model, to his largely 'Grand Tour' clients. One such top was evidently purchased from de Sanctis by R.W. Bland of Belfast. In 1826 this comparable was then exported from Leghorn. However, interestingly the documentation which accompanied this particular tabletop referenced the fact that it had in fact been made in Florence in 1817 and was inscribed: 'Pietre in Tavola Rotunda, Firenze'. It sold Christie's, New York, 29 January 1994, lot 305.Another closely related top is housed within the collection of what was formerly known as the London Geological Museum, but which has since been amalgamated with the Natural History Museum. This is very similar to the offered example with a conforming lapis lazuli central medallion whilst a total of thirty-two of the different marble specimens therein have since been identified, one must assume by the Museum itself. A further Gillows table connected to the aforementioned Christie's models of this type, albeit one possibly commissioned by the Marquess of Zetland for St. Nicholas after he purchased the estate in 1813, sold from the collection of the late Lady Serena James, St. Nicholas, Richmond, Yorkshire, Christie's London, 16 May 2001, lot 260. A further table worthy of note, albeit a comparable with a different type of specimen marble top, is illustrated in S. Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol. I, 2008, pl. 391, p. 337. This particular rosewood example was made by Gillows in Oxford Street and supplied to Stephen Tempest in 1821.Aside from its top, the present table has a number of elements that are reminiscent of the output of the Scottish cabinet maker, William Trotter, who was based in Edinburgh and who flourished during the period 1805-1825. The prominent reeding, or reeded bands, to both column and base along with its distinctive lotus-leaf and acanthus carved collars appear to be recurrent aspects of Trotter's output, especially of those pieces that his firm produced between 1815 and 1825.Holybrook HouseHolybrook House, where Sir Edmond Hodson resided, had been constructed in the then fashionable Tudor Revival style in 1835. It was built following the designs of the Irish architect, William Vitruvius Morrison (1794-1838). Sadly in 1969 the north-west wing of the house was largely burnt in a fire and then subsequently re-structured as four separate buildings. However, the main part of the house, although much altered from its original state, still remains to this day, see www.buildingsofireland.ieThis lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A French late 19th century ormolu mounted mahogany, bois satine, amaranth and stained sycamore marquetry commode a la Greque probably by Francois Linke (1855-1946)1890-1900, in the Louis XV/XVI Transitional styleOf breakfront outline with projecting canted front angles, the breche d'alep marble top with a moulded edge, above a triple panelled sunflower head-embedded guilloche mounted frieze interspersed with acanthus sprays, the frieze incorporating one central oak lined drawer, above two long oak lined drawers inlaid sans traverse with waved trellis work inset with rosettes, flanked by acanthus clasped scrolled corbel mount and husk pendant angles, on keeled square section legs terminating in scrolled foliate and bellflower adorned sabots, the reverse of the handles stamped: 'C.L. 2251', the back with an ink stamp: '47903', 132cm wide x 93cm deep x 63cm high, (51 1/2in wide x 36 1/2in deep x 24 1/2in high)Footnotes:A very similar commode to the present lot, one made by Francois Linke, appears illustrated in C. Payne, Francois Linke 1855-1946, The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, 2003, Woodbridge, p. 504. As with the offered version, this latter commode follows index number 1688. And like many pieces executed by Linke, there are slight variations in some of the details between these actual examples and their shared source design. However, importantly the essential form, mounts, inlay and drawer configuration are closely comparable to this particular Linke design in both instances.Also, it should be noted that the handles on the present model are stamped with the initials: 'C.L.' (along with a serial number) which most likely denotes Clement Linke, who was one of the cabinet maker's younger brothers. Clement provided metalwork such as locks, keys, handles and hinges for a great deal of Linke's furniture produced during the period, circa 1896-1910, Ibid, p. 359.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Even in antiquity there were large mortars made of bronze to grind and mix marble or lime, which were used to make construction binders or plaster, such as stucco.

Historic Arts & Crafts carved stone corbel decorated with angelic figure and bee and ash motif to the projecting frieze, rescued from C. R. Ashbee’s house, Cheyne Walk when demolished, 47cm highProvenance: . Provenance: By descent from Douglas Shepherd (1922-1989), a designer and architect working on public houses for the brewery firm Ind Coope. He was heavily influenced by and was a serious collector of Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau, including leading designers and artists such as Charles Ashlee and Jessie M King. He assembled a large collection from the 1950s to 1970s. His book collection was subsequently sold through Sotherby’s and in 2013 his magnificent silver collection by Archibald Knox and others was sold through these rooms. An accompanying letter from the daughter of Douglas Shepherd states - 'To prove my father's determination to find important things, he came across C. R. Ashbee's house on Cheyne Walk which was undergoing serious work including the removal of a corbel, depicting an ash and a bee. Father asked what was going to happen to it. The reply was 'if you can lift it mate you can have it' true to a collector's passion and determination he got it home.'

Lot 405
France, Burgundy, circa 1225-1250 A.D. A white limestone corbel-capital probably from the destroyed Cluniac priory of Moutiers Saint Jean, composed of a capital on the left decorated with deeply undercut crockets, corbel with a carved head on the right; from a carved doorway or window which carried a pointed arch. 22.8 kg, 45 cm (17 3/4 in.). Salles des Vantes Pillet, 1 July 2007, lot 168. Ex central London gallery. Accompanied by a copy of a previous four page typed and illustrated report. Accompanied by scholarly note TL05442 by Dr Ronald Bonewitz. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11411-192174. The capital would have supported an innermost voussoir above, whilst the corbel would have supported the innermost voussoir. The base of the capital has a small diameter which would have been echoed in the column below. This relationship with the slender shaft and the capital base is characteristic of architectural carving from Moutiers Saint Jean. The carving is closely related to a group of twenty five extant sculptures, now held in American museums, which recent scholarship has demonstrated are from the priory of Moutiers-Saint-Jean, which suffered extensive damage over the course of the Wars of Religion and the French Revolution. In 1797 the remains were sold into private hands. The closed crockets on our capital suggest that the sculpture could be dated earlier than the Duke University capital; parallels between this sculpture and an additional sculpture associated with the Moutiers group dated to 1225-1250 A.D. are striking in relation to the carving of the eyes, stylised hair and 'v' shaped face. A string indication that this is another piece from the ruined abbey. In a medieval text dating from 996, Moûtiers was called Monasterium (root of the word monastery). [No Reserve]
