AN ANTIQUARIAN GILT BRONZE AND CHINESE LACQUER-MOUNTED BREAKFRONT SIDE CABINET 19TH CENTURY, OF LOUIS XIV STYLE, THE LACQUER PANELS 18TH CENTURY The marble top above a frieze of foliate scrolls and acanthus above three doors displaying re-used lacquer panels enclosing oak shelves, above a raised plinth centred by a panel with bearded mask and with rosette blocks, on tapering feet with acanthus clasps, one lock stamped Comyn Ching & Co 97cm high, 160cm wide, 58cm deepProvenance: The Hon. Claude John Yorke, and thence by descent This imposing cabinet reflects the antiquarian taste prevalent in England in the 19th century, led by London dealer/agents and manufacturers such as Edward Holmes Baldock who was trading from various addresses in of Hanway Street from 1805 and Robert Hume trading from Berners Street from 1829. Indeed the Covent Garden and Soho areas of London witnessed a huge number of businesses engaged in the trade in new, restored and second hand furniture and works of art, from the likes of Baldock and Hume whose clients included royalty and the nobility, to traders who bought and sold `curios' and others who were little more than dealers in scrap. The trade was fanned by enthusiastic and wealthy and collectors of `antiques' such as William Beckford (d.1844) and the Duke of Hamilton (d.1852), historic house refurbishments such as at Hardwick Hall (1839 - 49) and sometimes hare-brained projects such as the Earl of Eglinton's chivalric Tournament of 1839 offered dealers an easy opportunity to make money, while auction sales of eminent collections brought yet more artefacts to the market. Part of this trade saw new furniture created re-using older element, particularly those items deemed precious or valuable, hard stones, Chinese and Japanese lacquer, carved ebony, boulle and tortoiseshell and even old oak. Makers such as Baldock incorporated these in conventional ways, using newly made pieces and the best are superbly executed. A detailed study of the trade was published by Mark Westgarth, Biographical Dictionary of Nineteenth Century Antique and Curiosity Dealers, Regional Furniture Society Journal, 2009, vol.23. A Regency cabinet of similar type, black and gilt-japanned and incorporating 18th century Kangxi lacquer was sold from Crichel, Dorset, at Christie's, London, 23 May 2013, lot 152 (£22,500 including premium).The attribution to a London antiquarian manufacturer is reinforced by the use of locks marked by the Seven Dials ironmonger Comyn Ching & Co. Condition Report: Generally good, structurally secure with wear and tear consistent with age and use. There are minor scratches marks and scuffing and some constructional shrinkage cracks. The marble top is in good order but with some repairs, a crack running front to back about 23cm from the left edge and a repaired break to the back right corner. Otherwise some minor edge chips. The ormolu all present, of large scale with good chiselling, overall of reasonable quality. Lacquer panels with typical craquelure and yellowing of surface varnish. but with sensitive conservation they would come alive. Minor lifting to the brass stringing on the left side. There is a 26cm piece of ebonised facing detached to the upright inside the centre door. The carcase made of framed and panelled oak, quite precisely machined and assembled typical of 19th century work. Each door revealing a single shelf. Overall a handsome and robust cabinet.

A pair of George III cream painted and parcel gilt settees, in the manner of George Brookshaw (1751-1823), each with triple roundel cresting rail, buttoned padded backs and sides and buttoned D shaped seats raised on turned and fluted tapered legs, fitted brass castors, 212cm wide, 71cm deep, 94cm high These settees were originally commissioned by Stephen Cave Esq (d. 1838), who was part of the Bristol Banking Firm, Ames, Cave & Co. They were part of a large suite and made for Cleve Hill House, Mangotsfield, near Bristol. The house was remodelled by Cave in the late 18th early 19th century, and it would seem no expense was spared. The gardens, which in the mid-18th century had been designed by Thomas Wright, otherwise known as the - Wizard of Durham, were redesigned to incorporate a Pleasure Garden including hot houses, large aviaries and a riding school.After Stephen Caves death in 1838 his son Daniel took over and made further changes to the house which were considered ill-judged alterations, probably moving more towards the Victorian era.The fourth son of Stephen Cave and Anne Daniel had properties at 13 Lowndes Street, London and St. Nicholas Abbey in Barbados and by descent to Laurence Trent Cave (d.1899) second son of Charles Cave, of Ditcham Park, Petersfield, 13 Lowndes Square, London and St. NicholasAbbey, Barbados, and by descent to Charles John Philip Cave, MA, FSA, FRPS (d.1950), eldest son of Laurence Trent Cave, of Ditcham Park, Petersfield and S.t Nicholas Abbey, Barbados and by descent to Laurence Charles Henry Cave (d.1981), eldest son of Charles John Philip Cave of Bletchingly, Surrey and St. Nicholas Abbey, Barbados and by descent to TL Col. Stephen Cave OBE who sold at Christie's London, 17 November 1988, lot 50 the suite of twenty armchairs and a pair of settees. The settee's which bear the date 1802, formed part of the drawing-room or parlour furniture. Both look to have seen some repainting many years ago, paint work now a little faded and discoloured with the floral panels and other floral decoration more notably faded, gilding is also now somewhat matted and rubbed, upholstery looks to be in fair order, frames remain solid.PLEASE NOTE:- Prospective buyers are strongly advised to examine personally any goods in which they are interested BEFORE the auction takes place.

Original Royal Microscopical Society Recipt, Frank Crisp, 1870, an original recipt for membership of the Royal Microscopical Society, dated April 1870 for Frank Crisp Esq. Sir Frank Crisp, 1st Baronet, distinguished himself not only in the legal arena but also as a active meber in the field of microscopy. Born on October 25, 1843, in London, Crisp's early years were marked by personal tragedy, losing his mother at a tender age. Raised by his grandfather, John Filby Childs, Crisp exhibited a remarkable intellect and an insatiable curiosity about the natural world. His journey into the world of law commenced at the age of 16 when he began his apprenticeship with a solicitor firm while simultaneously pursuing studies at the University of London. His academic prowess earned him a BA in 1864 and LLB in 1865, laying the foundation for his legal career. In 1867, Crisp married Catherine Howes, embarking on a partnership that would see them deeply involved in both legal and scientific pursuits. Crisp's passion for microscopy led him to become an enthusiastic member of the Royal Microscopical Society, where he not only participated actively but also served in various capacities, including as an officer. His generosity towards the society manifested through donations of furniture, books, and instruments, illustrating his commitment to advancing scientific knowledge. Despite his burgeoning legal career, Crisp's fascination with the microscopic world remained undiminished. He delved into the intricacies of microscopy, contributing significantly to the understanding of this field. Crisp's legal expertise garnered him prestigious clients, including foreign railroad companies and the Imperial Japanese Navy. His involvement in drafting the contract for the cutting of the renowned Cullinan diamond underscored his prowess in navigating complex legal agreements. In recognition of his invaluable services to the Liberal Party, Crisp was knighted in 1907 and subsequently elevated to the baronetcy in 1913. These honors reflected not only his legal acumen but also his unwavering commitment to public service. Beyond his legal and scientific pursuits, Crisp was a passionate horticulturist. He acquired Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames in 1889 and transformed it into a botanical marvel, featuring an impressive alpine garden inspired by his love for natural beauty.
