About the Item

PRESENTING A GORGEOUS late 19th Century British made corner cabinet, made of beautiful rosewood and profusely inlaid with marquetry and faux ivory. Made in London, by Collinson and Lock, circa 1875-1890. Triangular/pyramidal in shape, with graduating levels leading to a pointed top. From the floor moving upwards:- The cabinet stands on finely carved and turned legs to the front and more solid supports to the rear, with 2 open shelves in between. The central section, has 2 doors, with lock and working key, that open to reveal 2 more shelves for storage. The front of each door, is heavily inlaid with marquetry of satinwood/boxwood, depicting urns, flowers, vases etc. It is also heavily inlaid with finely carved and hand-painted faux ivory sections, depicting cherubs and faces on the flowers. The display section above the doors, is 3 tiered, in an almost ‘gothic/cathedral style’ and again, has heavily inlaid panels, with marquetry and faux ivory, in similar depictions to the base. The display section has a large shelf, then a smaller shelf above with curved ‘concave’ design and a similar smaller shelf above, at the top. Each shelf section is flanked by a pointed wooden finial(s). A set of 4 beveled mirrors are inserted into the rear of the top section on both sides, to mimic a ‘3D’ effect for displays. It is edged and banded in gorgeous dark moldings. Photos cannot do this piece justice! Attributed to a well known London maker ….. Collinson & Lock, famous for this type of work and HIGHLY sought after. The firm Collinson & Lock was founded in the late 19th century by F.G. Collinson and G.J. Lock, both of whom were former employees of Jackson & Graham. The company manufactured furniture for the likes of the Savoy Theatre and the new Law Courts, and a variety of their furniture items were featured at the Paris Exposition Universelle exhibit in 1878. Some of the many furniture designers who were employed by the firm include E. W. Godwin (who was paid a retainer to produce designs for the company from 1872 and 1874), T.E. Colcutt, Stephen Webb, H.W. Batley, and many more. Webb designed for the firm between 1885 and 1897 and exhibited at the Arts and Crafts Society Exhibitions from 1888 to 1906. He was also a member of the Art Workers Guild. Webb is now best remembered for his designs of intarsia, which he normally executed in ivory. Much of the furniture which was decorated with Webb`s inlaid work was designed by the firms founding partner J. S. Lock. I originally bought it at Auction in Ireland circa 20 years ago and had a number of competing bidders against me, including a number of London bidders, by phone. It was an expensive item to buy! Provenance: Bought at a High-end Antique Auction in Ireland. Dimensions: 78.5 in Tall, 29 in Wide and 17.5 in deep Condition: Very good. One very small piece of molding/trim on the side is a replacement.

19C Large Irish Georgian Style Secretary Bookcase
Located in Dallas, TX
PRESENTING a STUNNING 19C Large Irish Georgian Style Secretary Bookcase. From circa 1850-60 and most definitely, “IRISH”. Made of gorgeous flamed Cuban mahogany which would have been imported from the British Colonies at the end of the 18th Century and early 19th Century. This piece of is of IMPRESSIVE PROPORTIONS. It is a real STATEMENT piece and of EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY. It has a very ‘Regency Style’ pelmet or crown with egg and dart moldings under a very straight line crown. The top section consists of a 4 door bookcase, each with 3 shelving areas. It appears to retain it’s original glass, but it could likewise have been replaced at some time during it’s long life, as it is very rare to find pieces that have not suffered breakages over 150+ years. Each bookcase door still retains the original moldings to the front with a star shape above and below a central circular viewing panel. Each section is separated by a carved and fluted roman column/pillar. The bookcase section rests on top of the base, which consists of a beautiful central secretaire desk accessed by drop down front with working lock and key and rests on 2 pull out rests on either side. The secretary portion has a central tabernacle, with an inlaid oval satinwood medallion above another scallop shell drawer. It has 6 smaller drawers and 8 cubbies. The 2 pillars on either side of the central tabernacle are secret drawers and pull out. The curved crowns above the cubbies on either side are likewise secret drawers and pull out. Either side of the secretary there are 2 drawers (4 total) with a press or cupboard underneath. Under the secretary there are 4 large central drawers. The brasses and hardware are all original to the piece (save 2 extra hinges that have been attached to the drop down secretary to give it more support and stability. Again, each section is separated by a turned and fluted column/pillar which replicates the 2 side pillars to the central tabernacle of the secretary. The piece sits on 8 curved feet. This was an extremely high quality piece when made. This is also supported by the fact that the secondary woods are also mahogany and not pine or oak for slightly lesser quality pieces of the era. This piece is specifically identifiable as an Irish Georgian Style piece by virtue of the scallop shell moldings on the base side presses (see photos). Irish Georgian furniture...
