- 19th Century Inlaid Demilune Satinwood CommodeLocated in Lymington, GBAn English semi-elliptical, or demilune (half moon), inlaid satinwood commode of neoclassical form. Of very good rich color and patination. The marquetry in kingwood, tulipwood, burr veneers and harewood. The fine quality top inlaid with a large conch shell, with radiating trailing marquetry of bell-flower ribands, within a Vitruvian scroll border. This inlaid commode (or chest) contains three hinged cupboard doors each centred by oval panels inlaid with two-handled classical urns with drapery and flambeaux, on plinths set with burr veneers. The central cupboard revealing a bank of three oak-lined fitted drawers. The flanking cupboards with shelves. Raised on short square tapering legs and spade feet. 19th century, with 18th-century elements. All in excellent condition and of superb quality. Satinwood and marquetry commodes of this design reflect some of the highest achievements in English cabinet-making. Sometimes these antique commodes reveal the hand of two different master cabinet-makers, with tops differing from the bases. References: For a comparison see A. Hepplewhite and Co., Cabinet Maker, 'The Cabinet - Maker and Upholsterer's Guide' (1788) plate 78: ''Design for a Commode, enriched with painted or inlaid work adapted for a drawing room, within are shelves which answer the use of a closet or cupboard - may have one principal door in the front, or one at each end; are made of various shapes; and being used in principal rooms, require considerable elegance. The panels may be of satin wood, plain or inlaid; the top, and also the border round the front, should be inlaid.'' A fine George III satinwood and marquetry demilune commode attributed to Thomas Chippendale sold for £134,500 in Bonhams 'Fine English Furniture & Works of Art Sale', 19 Nov 2014. A related pair of satinwood commodes are in the Royal collection, made in 1781 for George IV when he was Prince of Wales. XQC 1988, 95, & XQC 2004, GIII, 284. See also Robert Adam, and Ince & Mayhew designs for similar satinwood marquetry commodes of the late 18th century. Vis. John Fowler...Category

- William and Mary Walnut Double Dome Bureau Bookcase or CabinetLocated in Lymington, GBA rare William & Mary period walnut double-dome bureau bookcase / cabinet. Circa 1685. Of compact size and proportions. In excellent overall condition with old, waxed, well-patinated surfaces of very good color. This bureau bookcase, or cabinet, divides into three separate sections (which helps date it to the last quarter of the 17th century). The bold double-dome pediment and cross-grain mouldings are typical of this period, and are repeated in the side returns. The book-matched, hand-cut veneers are well figured throughout, and are contained within herringbone lines. The bookcase section has candle slides, contains shelves and fitted drawers. Gilded finials are later. The centre section with a quarter-veneered fall reveals a fitted interior, concealed well and a secret compartment. The writing section is raised on a three-drawer base with an unusual and boldly-arcaded apron, in turn raised on its apparently original walnut bun feet. The drawer dividers are faced with cross-grain walnut ‘D’ mouldings. The brass engraved mounts are correct for period but not original, however the locks and hinges are. It is unusual to encounter these early bookcases / cabinets constructed in three stages; an indication of a transition taking place from the 17th into the 18th century. This is a fine, rare and sophisticated piece of late-17th century walnut furniture...Category
