About the Item

Very Rare Large Tunbridge Ware Tea Pot Stand, 1848-49 Additional Information: Heading: Large Tunbridge Ware Tea Pot Stand with Mosaic featuring Climbing Roses Date : 1848/49 Period : Victorian Origin : Tunbridge Wells; labelled for Edmund Nye with a handwritten notation inside stating '10th January 1849' Decoration : The Rosewood Frame has four chamfered edges each with a Berlin wool-work style climbing rose inside two pairs of banded keylines. The frame is filled with a 'petit point' needlework pad of stylised geometric pattern; the whole sits on four large bun feet Condition : Good with regard to tile completeness - one patch of four contiguous missing tesserae and some singles lost; one of the corners has lost 8-10 pieces; one corner of the pad is a little threadbare and there's another square of four missing stitches; the base still has it's original lining paper affixed, but has a split across its entire width; this does not affect the stability of the piece and is, obviously, underneath so only becomes apparent should you turn the thing over, Restoration : None Note : This piece is something of a revelation, as the pad with its 'petit point' embroidery on penelope or needlepoint canvas is very much representative of the process by which the original Berlin Wool-work patterns were produced and these - of course - inspired the whole use of micro-mosaics on Tunbridge Ware in the first instance; it's fantastic to see both art-forms in such harmonious proximity. We are aware of just two other example of anything similar - a square (rather than diagonal) sided version, also attributed to Edmund Nye, in the Bracketts 16.05.1997 Sale Catalogue and a diagonal sided version with an inset velvet cushion which is labelled for Thomas Barton in his role as the continuee of Nye's manufactory, following the demise of the latter.

Tunbridge Ware Edmund Nye Square Handkerchief Box, circa 1860 Although labelled, the form of this box - and especially the lining paper - are consistent with other pieces identified as coming from Edmund Nye's manufactory; the influence of Thomas Barton can be defined from the inclusion of his signature green oak tesserae in the design prior to Barton assuming control of the business in 1862 Additional Information: Date: c1860 Period: Victorian Origin: Tunbridge Wells; England Decoration: A low, square box with a pin-hinged lid; decorated with a neo-clasical frame around a floral mosaic.
