Y A GEORGE III KINGWOOD, AMARANTH, TULIPWOOD PARQUETRY AND LACQUERED GILT BRONZE MOUNTED BUREAU PLAT PROBABLY BY AN EMIGRE CRAFTSMAN IN THE MANNER OF PHILIPPE-CLAUDE MONTIGNY AND RENE DUBOIS, LAST QUARTER 18TH CENTURY The gilt-brass banded rectangular top inset with a gilt-tooled blue leather writing surface, above a panelled frieze inlaid with Greek-key motif with two frieze drawers centred by masks headed by acanthus flanked by rosettes and opposing false drawers, with lateral writing slides, the lower border with a ribbon-twist mount, the brass reeded incut square tapering legs headed by laurel swags with square sabots terminating in castors, with a paper label to the pine panelling to underside inscribed in ink 'Brynkinalt RM' 72.5cm high, 122cm wide, 63cm deep Provenance: Possibly supplied to Arthur Hill-Trevor, 2nd Viscount Dungannon (1763-1837) or acquired by Arthur Hill-Trevor, 3rd Viscount Dungannon (1798 - 1862) for 3 Grafton Street, London, thence by descent at Brynkinalt Hall, Denbighshire until sold, Of Royal And Noble Descent; Sotheby's, London, 19 January 2017, lot 382, where acquired by present owner. Although this sophisticated desk, with its 'Etruscan' decoration and interlaced key frieze, has the outward appearance of a French bureau à la grec, a number of constructional idiosyncrasies help to identify it as an unusual example of English craftsmanship. Until recently the bureau plat formed part of the resplendent Hill-Trevor collections at Brynkinalt Hall in Denbighshire and is most likely the output of an émigré ébéniste working in London in the last quarter of the 18th century. London had long tradition of attracting émigré craftsman with the perpetual cycle of European political and religious turbulence of the 17th and 18th centuries spurring their arrival. The lure of the capital reached new heights following the favourable conclusion of The Seven Years' War (1756-1763), a pan-European conflict which did little to dampen the appetite for French fashions in Britain. The maker of the present bureau plat would certainly have had excellent knowledge of French workshop practices and prototypes, namely the output of the celebrated Parisian cabinet-makers Phillippe-Claude Montigny (1734-1800) and René Dubois (1737-1799). The goût grec style swept to popularity in France from the mid-1750s with the celebrated suite of furniture supplied for the collector and financier Ange-Laurent Lalive de Jully. Veneered in kingwood, amaranth and tulipwood and decorated with rosette and laurel swag mounts, the Brynkinalt bureau plat closely follows a well-documented group of bureau à la grec by Montigny and Dubois. However, the Brynkinalt bureau plat diverges in several distinct ways which preclude the possibility of a French origin. Whereas French-made bureau plat use oak, the present desk employs pine in the construction. Further, the oak-lined drawers have front-to-back oak drawer bottoms, where French antecedents would have the grain running side-to-side. The dovetails, with the pronounced fan-shaped tails, are distinctly un-French and quite idiosyncratic being covered by a very thin veneer. The original locks are English, and the lacquered-gilt-brass banding to top, mounts, capping and castors (French models typically employ sabots without castors) all present as English derivatives or casts taken the originals. The presence of a distinctly English 'rococo' influenced ring-pulls to the writing slides further anglicises the French character of the present lot. Interestingly, an almost identical version of this model, sharing the same constructional traits but lacking brass reeding to the legs, is preserved in the collections of the Marquesses of Bute at Mount Stuart, Scotland. The Bute bureau plat is almost certainly from the same émigré workshop and points to a definitive group made for the most prominent families of the day. The present desk formed part of the collections of the Hill-Trevors at Brynkinalt Hall, Denbighshire, on the English-Welsh borders. The family fortune was built at first by Sir John Trevor (1637-1717), an unscrupulous lawyer-turned-politician, who twice held the position of Speaker of House of Commons before being unseated because of a bribery scandal involving the East India Company. He also served as Master of the Rolls 1685 to 1689 and from 1693 until his death in 1717. The financial gains Sir Trevor accrued in these prominent positions allowed him to acquire two London houses on St Clements Lane and Trevor Square, Knightsbridge. All four of his sons predeceased him and his estates, including Brynkinalt, passed to his daughter Anne who married Michael Hill of Hillsborough in Ireland.Arthur Hill, 1st Viscount Trevor (1694-1771), later Arthur Hill-Trevor, 1st Viscount Dungannon, was the second son and also pursued a political career, this time in Ireland as Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer and Commissioner of Irish Revenues. Arthur built Belvoir house in Ireland to designs of Christopher Myers in circa 1750. His son, the Hon. Arthur Hill Trevor (1738-1770), predeceased him also, making him an unlikely candidate for the acquisition of the present bureau plat. Instead, the Dungannon estates, including Belvoir and Brynkinalt, passed to Arthur Hill-Trevor, 2nd Viscount Dungannon (1763-1837) who inherited the title at the age of eight. In 1795, at the age of thirty-two, he married the Hon Charlotte Fitzroy, daughter of General Charles FitzRoy, 1st Baron Southampton (1737 -1797) and grand-daughter of Charles FitzRoy, 2nd Duke of Grafton (1683-1757), and consequently sold Belvoir Park choosing to live between No. 3 Grafton Street, London (built by the Augustus Henry FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton (1735-1811) to designs of Robert Taylor in 1767) and Brynkinalt Hall. It is conceivable to bureau-plat was acquired before or during this phase of ownership as the Viscountess was a woman of highly cultivated taste and oversaw the significant re-modelling of Brynkinalt which had not been altered since the early 18th century. Condition Report: Overall there are some scratches, marks, chips, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.Observations include: the leather to the top has a different gilt tool edging and is either different to the leather on the sliding ends or is faded; the leather to the top also has cracks along the underlying constructions joints; some ormolu mounts are slightly loose eg the edging to to the top of the desk, one of the swags (with a later screw), some of the ribbon edging has vacant holes from missing pins, one brass inlay to one leg is sprung; it is not possible to remove the right frieze drawer as there is a fixed peg/screw preventing it from sliding out; there are two keys that operate the two different locks that suggest one is a later replacement; there is some evidence of old worm; some fading to the back.The Greek key parquetry and ormolu mounts to all sides.Please see all the additional condition report photographs through the link on the condition report email as a visual reference of condition - they are a vital part of this report. Condition Report Disclaimer

After two years at Westminster School, he entered the navy in 1844 and spent four years in H.M.S. Collingwood on the Pacific Station, mainly in South American ports, where he picked up a working knowledge of Spanish. Many things in the service were distasteful to him, but he remained in it for a further three years in order to join H.M.S. Assistance as a Midshipman under Captain Austin on his Franklin Search Expedition of 1850-51 (Arctic Medal). After a year of wandering (1852-53) among the Inca ruins of Peru, which made him a life-long friend of the Peruvian people, Markham joined the civil service, and in 1854 was transferred to the board of control of the East India Company. In 1860 he was charged with the collection of young cinchona trees and seeds in the forests of the Eastern Andes, and with the acclimatisation of the plants in India. The difficulties were great, but the result was a complete success, leading in time to the supply of quinine at a very low price. From 1867 to 1877 he had charge of the geographical work of the India Office. In 1868 he accompanied Sir Robert (afterwards Baron) Napier as Geographer on the Abyssinian Campaign. He was present at the capture of Magdala, and it was he who discovered the body of the Emperor Theodore (Abyssinian Medal). In 1871 he received the C.B., and in 1873 was elected F.R.S. Markham took an active role in promoting the revival of Arctic Exploration, and sailed in 1875 as far as Greenland with the expedition of Sir George Nares, on which occasion his cousin Sir Albert Hastings Markham was second-in-command. In 1877, he left the India Office and retired from official life, only to redouble his geographical and historical studies, travelling widely and writing incessantly. He had joined the Royal Geographical Society in 1854, and maintained a role as one of its honorary secretaries for 25 years (1863-1888). He became president of the society in 1893, and during his 12 years’ tenure he vigourously directed its policy of encouraging exploration and geographical education. He was frequently consulted by the government, on issues such as the difficult question of the boundary between British Guiana and Venezuela. He received the K.C.B. in 1896. For the next few years, Markham threw heart and soul into the promotion of Antarctic exploration, securing funds by urgent appeals to public and private sources. On the joint committee of the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society, which was responsible for the National Antarctic Expedition of 1901, it was Markham who selected Commander Robert Falcon Scott as leader, pressing his strong preference that the expedition should consist of naval men under the sole command of a naval officer, with a small civilian scientific staff. The expedition was highly successful, but Markham took little interest in later South Polar achievements (he was not a supporter of Shackleton) until Captain Scott planned the expedition in the Terra Nova in 1910, when his former ardour was rekindled. Captain Scott drew much of his inspiration and encouragement from Markham, and in one of his final farewell letters wrote, ‘Tell Sir Clements I thought much of him and never regretted him putting me in command of the Discovery.’ For many years, Sir Clements Markham’s reputation was established throughout the world as the leading British geographer and his achievements were recognised by his many awards, not least the gold Founder’s Medal of the Royal Geographical Society. Sir Clements Markham died in London on 30 January 1916. Amongst the many memorials is a bronze bust, presented by the government of Peru, which today stands guard at the portals of the Royal Geographical Society’s main entrance to Lowther Lodge in Kensington.

Maler, Pastellzeichner und Miniaturmaler sowie Graphiker und Karikaturist (ca. 1760 bis ca. 1822), wohl Schüler von Johann Heinrich Schröder, beschickte ab 1780 den Pariser "Salon de la Correspondance", ab Mitte der 1880er Jahre entstehen Miniaturen, mit denen er 1895-1804 den Louvre beschickte, bis 1804 als Hofmaler von Louis Joseph, Prince of Condé in Paris tätig erwähnt, anschließend bis 1818 in St. Petersburg, hier 1813 zum Mitglied und Professor der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Künste St. Petersburg ernannt, fertigte Portraits für den Hof des Zaren Alexander I. und den Adel, ab 1818 in London, beschickte hier 1819-20 diverse Ausstellungen - vor allem die Ausstellung der Royal Academy, vertreten im British Museum London, im Puschkin-Museum und der Tretjakow-Galerie Moskau sowie in der Eremitage in St. Petersburg, Quelle: Thieme-Becker, Saur "Bio-Bibliographisches Künstlerlexikon", Bénézit, Ernst Lemberger "Meisterminiaturen aus fünf Jahrhunderten" und englische Wikipedia.

Pointillist um 1900, Ansicht von Venedigab Mitte der 1880er Jahre begannen sich Künstler wie Georges Seurat oder Paul Signac von der naturnahen, spontanen Auffassung ihrer impressionistischen Vorbilder zu emanzipieren, es ging ihnen darum, Bilder zu schaffen, die sich vom individuellen Ausdruck des Impressionismus abhoben - und etwas Objektives ausdrückten, Seurat befasste sich mit Farbtheorie, mit der Leuchtkraft von Pigmenten, und gelangte darüber zu der Erkenntnis, dass Farben, die sich sonst in ihrer Intensität kaum unterscheiden, im Auge des Betrachters dann eine kontrastive Wirkung entwickeln, wenn sie direkt nebeneinander gesetzt werden, es war diese Erkenntnis die Geburtsstunde des von ihm so genannten "Divisionismus", der von der zeitgenössischen Kritik aber oft verächtlich bzw. karikierend "Pointillismus" genannt wurde, und doch stieß dieser Stil, in der Kunstgeschichte heute oft auch Neoimpressionismus genannt, das Tor zur Moderne früher und entschlossener auf als jede andere Kunstrichtung, bedeutete seine Programmatik doch die endgültige Abstraktion der künstlerischen Darstellung von der Anschauung in der Natur, daher folgten Seurat und Signac auch zügig andere, darunter Charles Angrand, Henri-Edmond Cross, Albert Dubois-Pillet, Maximilien Luce, Hippolyte Petitjean, Alfred William Finch, Théo van Rysselberghe, oder auch Paul Baum und Curt Herrmann, mit einem frühen Verfechter des Pointillismus um die Zeit der Jahrhundertwende und somit einem bemerkenswerten Zeugnis der Kunstgeschichte der Moderne haben wir es auch in dem vorliegenden Werk zu tun, der leider unbekannte Pointillist versetzt uns nach Venedig, das etwa auch Cross oder Signac immer wieder Motive lieferte, Provenienz: westdeutscher Privatbesitz, ehemals aus dem Besitz des Malers Fritz Weber-Kiffe, auf der Grundlage einer naturwissenschaftlichen Untersuchung kamen Dr. und Prof. Dr. Elisabeth und Erhard Jägers in ihrem Gutachten vom 11.8.2004 zu folgendem Schluss: "Alle nachgewiesenen Malmaterialien waren um 1900 bekannt und als Künstlermaterialien weit verbreitet. Das Bindemittel ist nach seinen spektroskopischen Daten durchpolymerisiert und gleichmäßig gealtert. Somit sprechen die Ergebnisse der Malmaterialbestimmung nicht [...] gegen eine Entstehung in den Jahren um 1900.", laut schriftlicher Erklärung Fritz Weber-Kiffes vom August 2000 wurde das Bild von dessen Eltern im Jahre 1927 auf deren Hochzeitreise bei einem Kunsthändler in Marseille erworben als Werk des Pointilisten Henri Edmond Cross, Öl auf Leinwand, um 1900, rückseitig auf dem Keilrahmen mit Klebeetikett "290 37", Druckstelle in der Leinwand in der linken unteren Bildhälfte, etwas Craquelure und vereinzelt Retuschen, Bespannung auf dem Keilrahmen wohl nachträglich, ungerahmt, Falzmaße ca. 50,5 x 67 cm.

LAPLACE PIERRE SIMON: (1749-1827) Marquis de Laplace. French Scholar and Scientist whose works developed mathematics, physics and astronomy. Laplace formulated the equation named after him and was one of the first scientists to postulate the existence of black holes. His five volume work Celestial Mechanics has been a guide for many leading scientists. He is widely considered one of the greatest scientists of all time, and often referred to as the “French Newton”. A good D.S., `C[om]te Laplace´, one page, oblong 4to, Paris, 24th December 1808, in French. The partially printed document, completed in Laplace´s hand, is a receipt confirming the payment Laplace gets obliged to pay a year after according to the decree aproved by the Emperor related to the nobility title granted to him, as Count, by the Emperor. The partially printed document states, with Laplace´s annotations in cursive, `Décret du 17 Mars 1808 - Le vingt-quatre Décembre mil huit cent neuf, je payerai à la grande Trésorerie de la Légion d´honneur la somme de Deux cent vingt francs... que je suis tenu de verser en exécution du statut Impérial du 1er Mars 1808, pour l´emploi qu´il prescrit, à cause du Majorat relatif au Titre de Comte que Sa Majesté Impériale et Royale a bien voulu me conférer. Pour le payement de la présente, j´élis domicile à Paris, à La Chancellerie du Sénat. Fait à Paris, le vingt quatre Décembre mil huit cent huit . Cte Laplace´ (Translation: "Decree of March 17, 1808 - On December twenty-four of the year one thousand eight hundred and nine, I will pay to the great Treasury of the Legion of Honor the sum of Two hundred and twenty francs... which I am required to pay in execution of the Imperial statute of March 1st 1808, for the employment it prescribes, because of the Majorat relating to the Title of Count that His Imperial and Royal Majesty was kind enough to confer on me. For the payment of this, I take up residence in Paris, at the Chancellery of the Senate. Done in Paris, December twenty-fourth, one thousand eight hundred and eight. Cte Laplace´.

KELLERMANN FRANÇOIS CHRISTOPHE: (1735-1820) Marshal of France, Duc de Valmy. A.L.S., `Le Gral Kellermann´, one page, 4to, Paris, 15th February 1795, to citizen Alexander, Commissair General of the Sambre & Meuze army, in French. An interesting letter by Kellerman, referring to General Alexandre Dumas, father of the author of The Count of Montecristo, stating in part `...J´ai prévenu vos désirs et les miens en vous demandant en qualité de commissaire général pour les armées des Alpes et d´Italie. Dubois Crancé ne m´a pas paru très disposé à me l´accorder. Cependant je persiste et je vais me joindre Dumas pour renouveler ma demande. J´espère qu´elle sera d´autant plus efficace que ce représentant vient aux armées avec moi et que nous allons partir dans trois jours. Vous aurez de nos nouvelles avant de quitter Paris...´ (Translation: "...I have anticipated your desires and mine by asking you as Commissioner General for the armies of the Alps and Italy. Dubois Crancé did not seem very willing to grant it to me. However, I persist and I will join Dumas to renew my request. I hope that it will be all the more effective as this representative is coming to the armies with me and we will be leaving in three days. You will hear from us before leaving Paris...") With blank address leaf, bearing a red wax seal in good condition with the initials of Kellerman. VGEdmond-Louis Dubois de Crancé (1747-1814) French GeneralThomas-Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie (1762-1806) was a Creole General, from the French colony of Saint-Domingue, in the Revolutionary France. Father of Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) the writer and author of The Count of Montecristo. Dumas commanded 53,000 troops as the General-in-Chief of the French Army of the Alps. Dumas's victory in opening the high Alpine passes in 1794, short before the present letter was written, enabled the French to initiate their Second Italian Campaign against the Austrian Empire.
