AN OAK AND IRON-BOUND CHEST
POSSIBLY 14TH CENTURY
With a slightly domed hinged lid and iron fixings and loops to the ends, some of the strapwork with punched decoration
58cm high; 202cm wide, 59cm deep
The chest bears comparison with the Richard de Bury chest held in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow and illustrated in Victor Chinnery, Oak Furniture The British Tradition , Woodbridge, 1986, p.105, fig.2:107, and pl.8. The latter is remarkable for it's surviving, albeit incomplete painted decoration of heraldic shields which infer ownership or patronage of Richard D'Aungerville de Bury, Bishop of Durham (d.1345) and his associate Ralph, 2nd Lord Nevill of Raby (d.1367).
While the present lot is devoid of paintwork, the iron strapwork show similarities with the de Bury chest, notably the bifurcated terminals of some straps, and the original twisted iron loops (handles) to the ends which enabled the chest to be carried on a stout pole. The two chests are also of comparable size.
The de Bury chest is possibly associated with an occasion in April 1340 when de Bury and Nevill were appointed with others to travel to York to arrange tax collections and payments to the King's army in the North. Such chests, referred to in inventories as standards, were generally used as safe depositories for valuables and documents, possibly also in the case of the de Bury chest for the banners and other necessities of the commissioners and might also have acted as their treasury.

THE WARWICK CEDAR TABLE
A FINE ELIZABETHAN REVIVAL CEDAR CENTRE TABLE
IN THE MANNER OF ANTHONY SALVIN, MID-19TH CENTURY
The rectangular top with cut-corners and a boldly beaded border above a frieze carved with lion masks, dolphins and inhabited vine scrolls, fitted with eight drawers, the corners with green man masks, on a square pierced strapwork pedestal and a cruciform base with scrolled and pierced buttresses, the feet modelled as gryphons on gilt iron castors marked PATENT beneath a crown
79cm high, 183cm wide, 148cm deep
Provenance:
By repute a gift from the Earls of Warwick to the Legh family for Adlington Hall, Cheshire, and thence by descent.
Literature:
G. Nares, 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire - III: The home of Mrs. Legh', Country Life, 12 December 1952, p. 1961, fig. 3, 'The Mid-Georgian Drawing-room, which lies in the West Front'.
Adlington Guide Book: 'In the passage way between the Dining Room and the Great Hall', 'The fine cedar Jacobean revival library table was made from cedar grown at Warwick Castle'.
'The Oak Stairs', Cedar Jacobean revival table known as the 'Warwick Cedar Table'. The shaped square top has an extraordinary beaded border above a strapwork and foliate carved frieze with mask corners. The table is fitted with a drawer on either side on a boss moulded and pierced square pedestal, while the elongated 'X' form supports bold carved with birds, masks and claw feet'.
This mid-19th century cedar table is said to be a gift from the Earl of Warwick. It could conceivably have been intended for Warwick Castle, in the Cedar Drawing Room or Great Hall, which were both furnished in the late 19th century in an eclectic Victorian manner with both English and European furniture from the 17 th to 19 th centuries.
The table is in the French Renaissance style, and relates to 16 th century models like the so-called 'Sea-Dog Table', walnut, c. 1570, at Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire, which derives from designs by the French architect/draughtsman, Jacques I Androuet du Cerceau (1510-84) (NT 1127744). The elaborately-carved and fantastical 'Sea-Dog Table' is considered one of the best surviving examples of Elizabethan furniture. Similarly to the table offered here with its satyr masks and griffin supports, the 'Sea-Dog Table' features four carved 'sea dog' supports - fantasy creatures with a dog's head, scaly breasts, wings and dolphin tails.
19 th century furniture in a historicist style was often to the designs of architects such as Anthony Salvin (1799-1881). Salvin was an expert on medieval buildings and gained a reputation for his Tudor-style refurbishment of mansions like Mamhead House, Devon, and Harlaxton Manor, Lincolnshire. He also designed furniture, for example, a suite of bedroom furniture made for Mamhead House including a carved and pierced oak writing table with Tudor ornamentation (V&A W.5:1 to 5-1973), possibly made by G.J. Morant, and, for Scotney Castle, Kent, an oak library table, c. 1844, and an oak half tester bed, the 'Salvin bed' (NT 790860; NT 790972).
Related examples to the table offered here include an octagonal oak table with winged griffin supports in the Small Dining Room, Oxburgh Hall, Norfolk, by Jean Francoise Malfait, the Belgium born cabinet maker and carver known to have supplied furniture to the Bedingfeld family in circa 1850-55. This is part of a collection of oak furniture at Oxburgh Hall by or attributed to Malfait. A further related carved oak library table with dolphin-head feet is at Gawthorpe Hall, Lancashire (NT 421346).

This chest or `standard' is typically bound with iron straps and would have been intended for general baggage or possibly important documents.

A GEORGE IV MAHOGANY EXTENDING DINING-TABLE
CIRCA 1830, PROBABLY BY GILLOWS
The rounded rectangular top with a reeded edge and seven additional leaves on ten reeded tapering legs with brass caps and castors
73cm high, 520cm long extended, 140cm wide
Together with an associated mahogany leaf holder
In 1813 Gillows of London and Lancaster supplied a similar 'Set of mahogany Imperial dining tables on stout twined [ sic ] reeded legs and brass socket casters' for Broughton Hall, Yorkshire at a cost of 50 gns. Prior to this, Richard Gillow had taken out a patent in 1800 for an extending table, known as the 'Patent Imperial dining-table' (M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture 1795-1830 , London, rev.ed., 1965, p. 64-65, fig. 130).
A similar dining-table also attributed to Gillows, was sold by The Lord Brownlow, Belton House, Lincolnshire, Christie's house sale, 30 April-2 May 1984, lot 92. Although no accounts relating to the Brownlow commission appear to have survived, there can be little doubt that much of the furniture at Belton, like this dining-table, was supplied by Gillows. And while there is no certainty the present lot was supplied by Gillows it might be noted that the firm fulfilled a very significant commission (comprising of more than two hundred items of furniture) for Wilbraham Egerton at nearby Tatton Park, principally in 1811-12.
A similar table was sold Christie's, London, 31 October 2012, lot 113 (£34,450 including premium) and another was sold Christie's, London, 14 November 2013, lot 104 (£32,500 including premium).

THE ADLINGTON HALL OAK SIDEBOARD
A VICTORIAN OAK `JACOBEAN' SIDEBOARD
CIRCA 1860
The shaped gallery centred by an armorial device and motto 'DA.GLORIAM.DEO', flanked by shaped shelves with strapwork and fleur-de-lys backs and supported by seated lions, the pot-board with a boldly carved cabochon and foliate border, the pedestals with panelled doors centred by satyr masks and with semi-robed bearded herms to the angles, on plinth bases.
176cm high, 306cm wide, 108cm deep
Provenance:
Probably acquired by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88) for Adlington Hall, Cheshire, possibly as part of a refurbishment of the mansion, and thence by descent.
Literature:
Adlington Guide Book: 'The large Jacobean sideboard was made from oak grown in Adlington Park.
'Oak Jacobean sideboard with superstructure centred by an armorial device 'da gloriam deo' and flanked by outset platforms supported on rampant lions holding shields. Features include boldly carved cabochon borders above pedestal cupboards with outset corbel figures and a conforming wine cooler'
The present lot was probably acquired for Adlington Hall by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88), Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of Cheshire. He inherited Adlington in 1829 as a descendant of a cadet branch of the Legh family, and through the female line; the direct male line having ended in 1781 with the death of Charles Legh of Adlington (1697-1781). In 1846, Mr. Legh married Mary Jane Arabella Wright, a daughter of the Rev. Henry Wright of Mottram Hall, Cheshire, hence the central armorial including the Wright Family. According to his obituary in 1888, immediately before his marriage in 1846, a member of the family, Colonel Charles Crosse Legh, had sold by auction the valuable library of books, many family portraits and 'other objects forming the chief contents' from Adlington ( The Advertiser, 2 March 1888, p. 5). This may explain why there is a proliferation of mid-late 19th-century antiquarian furniture at Adlington. Charles Richard Banastre Legh does not appear to have maintained a London house, preferring to remain at Adlington as a traditional Cheshire squire where he was highly esteemed as a landlord by his tenants.
The design for the sideboard was possibly inspired by the Kenilworth sideboard exhibited by Cooke & Sons of Warwick at the 1851 Great Exhibition. The sideboard, now at Warwick Castle, was made from a fallen Kenilworth oak tree. The extravagant carvings depict scenes from the novel, Kenilworth, by Sir Walter Scott, first published in 1821. The upper section is decorated with the coronet, arms and emblems of the Earls of Warwick (R.W. Symonds, Victorian Furniture, reprinted London, 1987, pl. 26). This historicist style remained fashionable; another comparable sideboard was exhibited by Levien of London at the 1862 International Exhibition, London (illustrated in The Art Journal illustrated catalogue of the International Exhibition , 1862, p. 36); this sideboard while still adhering to the horizontal lines of the Kenilworth sideboard incorporated a rich addition of Renaissance motifs, which helped to make the older framework more stylish (K. Ames, 'The Battle of the Sideboards', Winterthur Portfolio, vol. 9 (1974), pp. 8, fig. 8; p. 10, fig. 11). Earlier, in 1838, Richard Bridgens included a sideboard and wine cellaret 'in the Elizabethan style' from Aston Hall, Warwickshire, illustrated in Furniture with Candelabra and Interior Decoration, plates 28, 30.

THE ADLINGTON HALL OAK WINE-COOLER
A VICTORIAN OAK RECTANGULAR WINE-COOLER
MID-19TH CENTURY
With a moulded rim, the front panel carved with strapwork and centred by a Bacchus mask, the angles with foliate volutes on a plinth and inset castors
53cm high, 94cm wide, 76cm deep
Provenance:
Probably acquired by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88) for Adlington Hall, Cheshire, possibly as part of a refurbishment of the mansion, and thence by descent.
Literature :
Adlington Guide Book: 'The Oak Stairs' 'Oak Jacobean sideboard... and a conforming wine cooler'
Possibly after the design for a 'Wine Cellaret' in R. Bridgens, Furniture with Candelabra and Interior Decoration (1838), plate 30.
The present lot was probably acquired for Adlington Hall by Charles Richard Banastre Legh (1821-88), Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of Cheshire. He inherited Adlington in 1829 as a descendant of a cadet branch of the Legh family, and through the female line; the direct male line having ended in 1781 with the death of Charles Legh of Adlington (1697-1781.

Charles Richard Banastre Legh does not appear to have maintained a London house, preferring to remain at Adlington as a traditional Cheshire squire where he was highly esteemed as a landlord by his tenants.
Although, at present, it is not possible to identify the cabinet-maker responsible for this suite of furniture, a number of firms were producing Elizabethan-Revival furniture in this period including Gillows of Lancaster & London, who was making furniture in a broad range of historicist styles. In 1841, Gillows created an Elizabethan-Revival bookcase for Conishead Priory in Cumbria that differed from earlier revival furniture in that rather than being assembled from old pieces of carving, it was a pastiche (C. Morley, 'The Revival of "Old English" style in Nineteenth Century Furniture', The Journal of the Decorative Arts Society 1850-the Present , no. 16, 1992, p. 21, figs 3 and 4). At the Exposition Universelle of 1878 in Paris, the firm created interiors for the Prince of Wales Pavilion including a grand Elizabethan-style dining room ( <https://bifmo.furniturehistorysociety.org/entry/gillow-company-1862-1897> . Accessed 21 November 2024).
