Rosewood China Cabinet, circa 1878, designed by Edward William Godwin (1833-1886) for Collinson & Lock, London. From the Collection of Eaton Hall, Cheshire, England. The Eaton Hall cabinet, circa 1878, in rosewood, the scroll-carved broken arched Queen Anne pediment above a dentil and moulded frieze, with a pair of astragal glazed doors flanked by shelves beneath fielded panels, above a central drawer and semi-circular cupboards, the moulded top above a pair of panelled doors with an open panelled section beneath, on shaped splayed feet, japanesque engraved brass handles, hinges and lockplates, stamped 'Collinson and Lock, London 7480', the handles, hinges and lockplates all stamped 'Elsleys, Gt Portland St, London'. Provenance: Eaton Hall, Cheshire. A previous owner purchased this lot from a sale of the contents at Sweetenhams of Chester, 20th and 21st May 1959, where it states:- '283. Rosewood display cabinet, the upper portion enclosed with astragal glazed doors with side shelves, the lower portion enclosed with two panelled doors. This was the last mention of the Rosewood cabinet before it was sold. This piece has many features, which firmly show Godwin's hand at work, i.e. Queen Anne broken pediment, (Soros, Susan Weber 'The Secular Furniture of E.W. Godwin', Butterfly cabinet, p. 227; and a Queen Anne cabinet p. 269 and an 'over door', p. 251), the dentil moulding to the top is identical to the Butterfly cabinet, the astragal glazed doors and panelled lower doors identical to a design for a table for Grey Towers (Susan Soros, 'Secular Furniture', p. 157 and similar detail to the doors on two cabinets on pp. 222-223). The semi-circular central side doors and semi-circular open shelves above are identical to a dressing table and a sketch for a dresser (Susan Soros, 'Secular Furniture', p. 211), a design for a mantelpiece (Susan Soros, 'Secular Furniture', p. 248) and a design for a buffet (Susan Soros, 'Secular Furniture', p. 265). The integrated design of solids and voids in many of his cabinet designs and the framed back panels to each individual shelf and framed panels to each side is typical of his work. The splayed front feet are identical to the Four Seasons cabinet (Susan Soros, 'Secular Furniture', p. 217). The elongated handles with japanesque engraved backplates simulate Japanese woven rush work (Susan Soros, 'E.W. Godwin Aesthetic Movement, Architect and Designer', p. 303, fig. 11-10 and Susan Soros, 'Secular Furniture', p. 268) a detail he used in many combinations. 'Sheraton and Queen Anne in Japan at Eaton Hall' only Godwin could have designed this exceptional work of art. Possibly part of a larger commission, the Eaton Hall archivist also found a Collinson and Lock billiard table in the inventory at Eaton Hall. Godwin is known to have designed billiard tables for Collinson and Lock, a design appears in his sketchbook on the 6th of October 1873, carved in the Jacobean style with circular decorations of white storks in relief interspersed with square panels. A corresponding entry on the 7th of October 1873 it shows that he designed it for the McLaren house, a large commission that Godwin did at Adison Rd, Kensington. The third Marquis of Westminster, who later became the 2nd Duke of Westminster, commissioned Sir Alfred Waterhouse to substantially remodel and rebuild Eaton Hall. The work began in 1869 and reached its completion in 1883. The large drawing room can be seen in a photograph taken, circa 1887, pl. 199 in Cooper, Jeremy. Victorian and Edwardian Furniture and Interiors, in which Cooper mentions that the Duke had spent 600,000 pounds on the decoration alone and that Heaton, Butler and Bayne carried out the work. In 1885, an inventory of the contents of Eaton Hall was carried out, and it is precisely at this point in time that the cabinet receives its first mention. Having occupied a place in the Ormand Sitting Room, 72 on the ground floor of the North Wing of the Waterhouse Hall, the cabinet was described as, 'A Rosewood china cabinet with cupboards beneath and glass fronts at the top, 50ins'. The cabinet is then mentioned again in a 1917 inventory in the Angel Bedroom. The cabinet made its next appearance in 1931 in the 'Declaration of Trusts', which was a valuation of the contents of Eaton Hall, appearing as T86/27 in the Stewards Offices with a similar description, and then finally in the 1959 sale catalogue mentioned above. Sotheby's and various other local auctioneers held many sales of the various contents of Eaton Hall from 1955 through to 1961 until the Hall was demolished in 1961. This description was compiled with the generous help and assistance of the Grosvenor Estate's Archive Department, Eaton Hall, Cheshire. Collinson and Lock of London...

An important oak, giltwood and bronze four door Grande Vitrine. French, circa 1870. An important oak, giltwood and bronze four door 'Grande Vitrine'. The projecting cornice finely carved with a frieze of linked coquillage centred by a sculptural giltwood cresting of a crowned shield displaying the double 'L' monogram above a Fleur-de-lis of Louis Philippe and flanked by playful putti, below three pilaster uprights each with gilded Corinthian capitals and trailing foliate relief, frame two sets of brass faced bronze doors fitted with plate glass and opening to an interior containing three shelves, the sides similarly glazed and the whole raised on a plain square section base. This vitrine was formerly in the collection of the Monseigneur Le Comte de Paris et Madame la Comtesse de Paris from the Villa La Quinta Do Anjiho in Portugal. When, after the Second World War, the Count and Countess of Paris (Duc and Duchesse d'Orleans) moved to La Quinta, they decorated the villa almost entirely with furniture and works of art from the estate of the Duc de Guise...

An important pair of Louis XVI style gilt-bronze mounted vitrines with wedgwood Jasperware plaques, by Joseph-Emmanuel Zwiener. French, circa 1880. Stamped 'NZ', 'NZ.309' and 'ZJ' to the reverse of the bronze mounts. Signed to the reverse of the lockplate 'Mon THEAU THIEFFINE Succ./SERRURIER PARIS'. This rare pair of vitrines, each have a shaped Carrera marble top above a frieze centred by a round classical Jasperware plaque flanked by gilt-bronze putti figures and scrolling acanthus running pattern. Below is a gilt-bronze framed bevelled glass door above a panel centred by a finely modelled Jasperware plaque of a putto representing the seasons. The door is flanked to either side by gilt-bronze monnaie pattern and headed by a pair of exceptionally fine female canephor figures. The shaped sides have corresponding bevelled glass panels and the vitrine is raised on tapering fluted legs. The distinctive canephor figures, finely cast as female caryatids with ringlets in their hair and supporting baskets of fruit upon their heads, is a distinctive and celebrated model unique to Zwiener. Many of Zwieners bronzes are executed in the Louis XV style, with flowers and scrolling acanthus leaves and an emphasis on asymmetry, typical of the work of his bronze sculptor Léon Messagé. The mounts employed on this rare pair of vitrines however sees Zwiener creating his own up-to-date reinterpretation of the Louis XVI style, drawing inspiration from established Louis XVI models such as those designed by Weisweiler for Marie-Antoinette's Dressing table. [See Mestdagh, p.305]. A second distinctive feature of the vitrines is the finely modelled Wedgwood Jasperware plaques incorporated in the frieze of each vitrine and beneath the doors. Wedgwood exhibited at nearly all of the Universal Exhibitions held in 19th century France, displaying amongst other pieces, plaques specifically intended to be mounted on to furniture. The first vitrine displays to the frieze a finely modelled plaque in the classical style, depicting a group of putti at play, one being pushed on a swing, while another plays a trumpet and a small attentive dog watches from below. Beneath the glass panelled door a larger Jasperware plaque is incorporated depicting a putto figure with a garland of flowers, emblematic of spring. The second vitrine has a classical plaque...
