An Anglo-Dutch early 18th century walnut, ebonised line-inlaid and fruitwood marquetry double-domed bureau cabinet1705-1720With an ogee moulded cornice above a pair of later bevelled mirror inset arched shaped moulded panelled doors each within a tablet and stylised scrolled foliate pattern-inlaid surround, over two panel moulded candle slides, the hinged fall with similar tablet inlaid angles and conforming pattern-inlaid border, enclosing eight pigeon holes, four bowfront and four twin concave fronted drawers each with gradated chequered featherbanding, with three shaped apron drawers above a central shaped door inlaid with scrolled acanthus foliage and an heraldic lion rampant issuing from a ducal coronet, enclosing a mirror panelled interior interspersed with six Ionic pilasters and with a stepped chequer board base, flanked by Corinthian pilaster bookends, over lopers and one long drawer, with two short and two long graduated drawers below, each drawer with conforming inlay, on bun feet, the mirror glass later, the heraldic inlay to the small internal door possibly 19th century, 106cm wide x 58cm deep x 235cm high, (41 1/2in wide x 22 1/2in deep x 92 1/2in high)Footnotes:The heraldic inlay to the small central door located inside the hinged bureau fall of the offered lot depicts a demi-lion rampant issuing from a coronet. During the early 18th century, heraldic design involving lions usually depicts heads or complete bodies, whereas a demi-lion might be expected from the late 18th century onwards and into the 19th century. It is possible to speculate that the present inlay is associated with the Bromley family, since the crest surmounting their coat of arms is comprised of a demi-lion issuing from a ducal coronet which seems at first sight to be related. An example, dated 1703, from a book plate attributed to William Bromley of Bagington, Warwickshire, displays a similar lion passant device, although importantly this comparable crest includes a spear and pennant gules charged with a lion passant. These elements are absent from the device inlaid into the offered bureau cabinet. Also of note is the fact that the blazon of the original crest specifies a mural crown rather than a ducal coronet, whilst the lion itself is full and not demi. All of which discrepancies suggest that the family were operating with free licence when using the original grant of arms applied to their possessions. Such a discretion might have been carried out at a later stage and as a result we may have the crest occurring as seen on the above. However, unfortunately without knowledge of this piece's historic provenance ultimately it has not proven possible to identify. It could be a product more of artistic licence from the 19th century than a direct reference to a specific early 18th century heraldic design. Two further possibilities include crests each comprised of a lion's head and shoulders (no paws) issuing from a ducal coronet. These crowning elements might relate to two separate historic coats of arms. One pertaining to Edward Ward Baron Dudley and the other to Henry Boyle Baron Carleton. But this of course, whilst interesting, only adds to the overall uncertainty.We are grateful to Roger Whitworth for the research, information and content involved in this footnote.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
