18th c. English Black Lacquer and Parcel Gilt Japanned Corner Cabinet on Stand

About the Item

A fine 18th c. English black lacquer and parcel gilt Japanned corner cabinet on stand, circa 1760. Attributed to Giles Grendey, London; cabinet maker (1693-1780). The cabinet and stand were acquired from a property in Italy. The lacquered cabinet was most likely designed as a stand-alone, wall-mount cabinet. The triform stand is a later addition, certainly 18th century and likely of Italian origin. The quality of the lacquer work is exceptional and still in beautiful condition. The upper cabinet works well on the stand, giving an elegantly tall and slender look and feel. The cabinet and stand have clearly been together for some 200 years or so. For related work attributed to Grendey, see Christie’s Sale 19032 – The Exceptional Sale – lot 27 and Christie’s Sale 19983 – The Collection of Mrs. Henry Ford – Lot 25.
