William IV English Oak and Burr Elm Wine Cooler

About the Item

Our English wine cooler dating from the William IV (1830-1837) period is crafted from oak, pollard oak and burr elm and features a hinged top with gadrooned finial, borders with lotus leaf and beaded designs and vessel with prominent gadrooning and recessed brass castors. Apparently unsigned. With an inventory label from the collection of its prior owner. Pollarding is a type of pruning which promotes a dense head of branches and foliage. A technique dating from medieval times, it was used to keep trees at a set height, but also created burrs (protrusions) that were cut for veneer and admired for their swirling figures of its grain.

  • William Thomas Smedley Framed Watercolor of Gentleman Smoker
    Located in New York, US
    Our exceptional watercolor on paper by the American painter and illustrator, William Thomas Smedley (1858-1920), depicts a distinguished gentleman smoker standing beside a street lamp. Signed and dated 1894. Mounted in period giltwood frame originally glazed and now missing glass. We may install new plexiglass prior to shipment. William Thomas Smedley was born in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1858 and died in Bronxville, New York in 1920. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and later entered the Paris studio of Jean Paul Laurens. He submitted paintings regularly at prestigious exhibitions both in America and abroad during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including the Paris Salon and the Universal Exposition of 1900. Around the turn of the century the village of Bronxville, located just north of Manhattan, became the center of a small suburban artists' colony. Otto Bacher settled there in 1896 and was followed a year later by Will Hicock Low. Smedley moved to Bronxville in 1898 and was soon joined by his fellow Pennsylvanian, Milne Ramsey.
