RICHARD FOLEY (fl.1861) Juliet Erskine, 1857 Signed and dated Watercolour, 41 x 61cmExhibited: Maritime Paintings of Cork, Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork 2005The wooden sailing barque Juliet Erskine, alongside her sister ship Choice, is depicted flying a distinctive flag featuring a red circle on a white square, framed by a green border. While the Choice is shown near Cork Harbour, the precise location of the harbour in the Juliet Erskine painting remains uncertain. Both the Juliet Erskine and a distant paddle steamer are flying green, white, and red tricolours from their mizzen masts, suggesting the possibility of an Italian port, potentially Genoa.According to the 1858 New York Marine Register, the Juliet Erskine (signal no. 714) was built in 1843 in Sunderland, England. Her home port is listed as Cork, and her owners are recorded as 'Darley and Foley', a likely misspelling of Daley and Foley, as similarly noted in the 1861 Lloyd's Register. The 297-ton vessel underwent metallisation in September 1853 and again in 1857. By 1859, the American Lloyd's Register of American and Foreign Shipping lists J. Kelly as the ship's captain. This watercolour portrait is believed to have been executed by Richard Foley, the vessel's owner.
RICHARD FOLEY (FL.1861) Choice, 1861 Signed and dated Watercolour, 41 x 61cmExhibited: Maritime Paintings of Cork, Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Cork 2005The wooden barque Choice is depicted sailing close-hauled to the wind, with the Pilot Jack flown at the foremast, indicating the need for a pilot. A Cork pilot cutter, seen veering away from the stern, suggests that the pilot has just boarded. In the right background, Roche’s Point lighthouse is visible, while a paddle steamer approaches the harbour entrance.The Choice, a 355-ton vessel, is recorded in the 1861 and 1865 editions of the American Lloyd’s Register of American and Foreign Shipping. Built in Newcastle in 1854 for the owners Foley and Daley, the vessel bore the signal number 455. Registered in Cork, Choice was commanded by Captain D. Sullivan. The 111-foot vessel had its hull metalled in 1859 and again in 1863. A survey conducted in New York in 1860 indicates that the ship was employed on transatlantic routes in addition to European voyages. The owners, Daley and Foley, also possessed the Juliet Erskine, a slightly smaller wooden barque built in Sunderland in 1843. Both ships were painted by Richard Foley.
Important English Royal inlaid satinwood table made for H.M. Queen Adelaide, the Consort of H.M. King William IV in the transitional French-style, attributed to Robert Blake and Sons, circa 1830. The top inlaid with rococo style marquetry in varied exotic timbers and ivory, some stained, bearing the crowned AR cypher of Adelaide of Saxe-Meinigen, Queen of the United Kingdom (1831-1837), with side drawer and adorned with ormolu mounts surmounting the cabriole legs and feet. The top 51 x 34cm, 67cm high. APHA Ref: ZZTQ3C5R This fine table is indicative in design and conception of the Anglo-gallic taste which emerged during the first three decades of the 19th century thanks to the trend for collecting objects related to the Anciene regime, sparked by important tastemakers such as King George IV, William Beckford and dealer-designers such as Edward Holmes Baldock and Robert Fogg. Whilst unsigned, the marquetry can be attributed to the Blake workshop, premier marquetry producers in London during the 1830s and 1840s, who worked notably for designers and dealers like Baldock. It is interesting to note that such florid monograms appear in marquetry form by Blake on a series of Louis XV-style West Indian Satinwood desks made for the Duchess of Buccleuch as well as on the celebrated tables made for King Louis Philippe at Claremont. Likewise, the stylised tendrils are comparable, albeit on a reduced scale, with those found on the celebrated case of the Erard piano supplied to Baron Foley, now in the Met. The use of satinwood as a ground inlaid with different precious timbers (some dyed) and ivory further supports this, being a feature used on multiple occasions by the workshop. It is interesting to note, given the provenance, the mounts mirror those on a bureau de dame by Leonard Boudin purchased by the Queen, still in the Royal collection. Whilst at present it is not known from whom this was acquired it is not impossible that it may be the same source as the present table in light of the practices of contemporary dealer-designers like Baldock and Fogg. Provenance: commissioned by Queen Adelaide (1792-1849), consort to King William IV A gift to the Rev Fredrick William Blomberg (1761-1847), personal secretary and Chaplain to King George IV and subsequently chaplain in ordinary to King William IV, by Queen Adelaide. Upon his death by descent to the Newbery family and thence by descent.
