Lot 170
A FINE GEORGE III MAHOGANY SERPENTINE COMMODE IN THE MANNER OF THOMAS CHIPPENDALE, CIRCA 1770 The upper drawer fitted with an arrangement of lidded compartments with harewood crossbanding and further storage, below a baize lined slide 83cm high, 173cm wide, 60cm deep Provenance: Purchased from Charles Lumb & Sons Ltd, Harrogate, 27th September 1976 (£4,250). The original invoice and accompanying photograph is available with this lot. The elegant serpentine form of this commode is directly comparable to a number of commodes from some of Thomas Chippendale's most notable commissions, including Harewood House, Nostell Priory and Osterley Park. Further comparisons can be made to commode designs from The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director, 1762; two particular sketches by Chippendale share close form to the present lot and it can be argued that these two sketches combine to create the outline and drawer arrangement of this commode (V&A Museum D.720-1906; P. Ward-Jackson, English Furniture Designs of the Eighteenth Century, 1958, pl.106). A black lacquer commode attributed to Chippendale that also shares the same outline as the present lot can be seen, Sotheby's London, Important English Furniture, 7th & 14th May 1993, Lot 150. See also The Nostell Priory Commode, Nostell Priory, West Yorkshire, from the workshop of Thomas Chippendale (NT 959751) for a green lacquered example of similar form and outline. Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use Some of the old expected chips Some old moulding and veneer repairs (see images) Key present and operates all locks All metalware, including the handles and locks appears original Baize to the slide of the upper drawer is a replacement The central fitted section to the upper drawer appears to previously had a hinged dressing mirror, which is now lacking One loper is missing its stopper, so it can be completely removed Some possible later securing screws to the backboard The feet to the commode have been reduced in height from their bases. This has been neatly done and the commode stands well. The feet could be 'built up' again with the attention of a qualified restorer to bring the commode back to its previous height and proportions Small section of loss to moulding of base (see images) Please see all additional images as a visual reference to conditionCondition Report Disclaimer

Kidd Esq, The Manor House, Sherborne, Warwickshire Private CollectionPlease note, the cataloguing for this lot should read as follows and not as originally printed in the catalogue:A SCARLET LACQUER AND GILT CHINOISERIE DECORATED BUREAU CABINET IN QUEEN ANNE STYLE, 18TH CENTURY AND LATER ELEMENTS Condition Report: Cabinet with the marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Various splits, chips, cracks and losses. The lacquer and gilt decorated surface appear to be entirely later. Various craquelure, chips, splits, losses, flaking, and wear to surface throughout. The upper and lower sections are associated. The lower bureau section appears to be a George III bureau which was not originally lacquer decorated. The upper section is significantly adapted. It incorporates some period elements but has been adapted to make the top double domed and for the doors to incorporate the shaped mirror plates. Overall, the piece incorporates period timbers but has been significantly adapted to make its current form and incorporates various later elements throughout. There are no signs of a previous decorated surface, therefore it has been decorated after being structurally modified. Mirror plates have depletion, 'foxing' and grey spots. Two keys present but only one operates the lock to the fall. No keys present for the other locks, but all locks are open. The locking bar to the fall does not remain in position as the timber where it secures has losses. Metalware throughout is later associated but is in period taste. The escutcheon to the fall front is lacking but present with the lot. Some evidence of old worm to the underside, backboard and interior of carcass. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition. Total width measurement with the top doors open - 181cm.Condition Report Disclaimer

Lot 554
A pair of neoclassical mahogany and ormolu pier tables, late 20th/early 21st century, but incorporating earlier elements, each of demilune outline, the stepped top above a frieze, mounted with twenty-three grand tour cameos of emperors, kings and historic figures,138cm wide63cm deep82cm high (2)This pair of tables is believed to have been made by the restorer Dennis Buggins for antiques dealer John Hobbs, for whom Buggins, between 1992 and 2007, adapted or outright fabricated nearly a thousand pieces, using traditional techniques and period elements to pass them off as genuine articles of fine antique furniture. The legacy of this relationship was brought to light in scandalous detail in 2008, when after disagreements and successive lawsuits between the two, Buggins not only revealed the estimated number of forgeries that he had executed for Hobbs, but the extent to which his works - some imitating the likes of Thomas Chippendale, Giles Grendey and the Russian cabinetmaker Christopher Meyer - were accepted by the market. Later that year, Sotheby's withdrew a pair of commodes catalogued as 'German c.1800', which carried a top estimate of $300,000, after Buggins' tip that they had been constructed from old wardrobes. Condition ReportGeneral knocks and wear throughout. Some repaired splits to the veneer, with some cleaning and polishing. A few slightly mishapen pieces of of the metalware, but all mounts are fixed securely. A few cracks to cameos, but all are stable and fixed securely. Joints tight and sound.Each cameo approx 6 x 5cm. We understand that they could possibly be 18th or 19th century.
