Expanding Jupe Dining Table by Johnstone and Jeanes
By Robert Jupe
Located in New Orleans, LA
This exceptionally rare circular expanding dining table was designed by Robert Jupe and crafted by the English cabinetmakers Johnstone & Jeanes, successors to Johnstone, Jupe & Co. One of only a handful known from the firm, this table illustrates the Victorian era's quest to combine technical innovation with superb and beautiful craftsmanship. Complete with its original leaves, the table’s circular top is formed from eight separate segments. When the top is rotated, an ingenious swivel mechanism causes the sections to diverge, allowing a set of small or large leaves to be inserted for an adjustable increase in size.
The design for the table was patented by Robert Jupe in 1835, who had envisioned “an improved expanding table so constructed that the sections composing its surface may be caused to diverge from a common center and that the spaces caused thereby may be filled up by inserting leaves or filling pieces.” The first of these fascinating tables were created between 1835 and 1840 during his partnership with John Johnstone and their firm of Johnstone, Jupe & Co. in London. Jupe left the company in 1840, after which the firm changed its name due to a new partnership and became Johnstone & Jeanes. The firm would eventually achieve international fame for its remarkable designs, exhibiting a "circular table made on the expanding principle" like this one at the Great Exhibition of 1851.
Jupe was not alone in his fascination with combining the technical merits of engineering and mechanics with the more artful pursuit of cabinet making. The first half of the 19th century saw a prolific increase in the popularity of applying new ideas to furniture principles, which allowed furniture to serve many purposes. The resulting “patent” furniture...

Russian Malachite and Pietre Dure Plinths
Located in New Orleans, LA
The exquisite art of pietre dure is at its absolute finest in this spectacular pair of Russian ormolu and malachite plinths. True works of art of the Restauration period, these plinths each feature a matching pietre dure mosaic crafted of the finest stones, all chosen to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the final work. Depicting an onyx vase with tulips, roses, daffodils, magnolia and other flowers, these pietre dure panels are among the finest examples of this ancient art we have seen.
The pietre dure is complemented by malachite panels of the highest quality, exhibiting exceptional depth through its extraordinary cellular structure. Malachite is one of Russia’s most precious stones, and its presence in these plinths indicates commission and ownership by an individual of considerable status. Mounted in an excellent stepped ormolu base, these plinths originally served as bases for vases or candelabra.
The overall execution and appearance of these plinths is very characteristic of the taste associated with the immensely wealthy collector Nicolas Demidoff. As early as 1806, Demidoff had commissioned the Parisian goldsmith Henri August to supply a guéridon; in 1819, he ordered famed French bronzier Pierre-Philippe Thomire to supply mounts for a massive malachite vase (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), as well as a console table with legs in the form of Nike. Other commissions included a table given as a gift to Grand Duke Leopoldo II of Florence, now in the Pitti Palace. Demidoff eventually settled in Florence in 1822 and became Russian minister to the Tuscan Court. Elevated to the rank of Count of San Donato by the Grand Duke, he built a magnificent villa at San Donato on the site of lands formerly owned by the Medici. The villa was later inherited by Anatole, his son, Prince of San Donato, and there are records which confirm transactions he had with the Opificio delle Pietre Dure.
The 19th century proved to be the golden age of Russian malachite. The stone became a sign of prestige and a token of wealth, so much so that Russian papers of the time wrote: "To afford having a big piece wrought in malachite is synonymous to owning diamonds." Year after year the Russian (Romanov) treasury paid increasingly unreasonable prices to hoard the best malachite, much of which went into Romanov palaces and extravagant objets d'art. The Hermitage Museum possesses a collection of over two hundred examples of this “palatial” malachite...

Blue John and Rosewood Table Attributed to Gillows
By Gillows of Lancaster & London
Located in New Orleans, LA
A one-of-a-kind masterpiece, this impressive table is among the finest pieces of Blue John furniture ever crafted. The star of the table is undoubtedly the monumental slab of Derbyshire Blue John set at its center. One of the most important examples known of this rare and highly coveted mineral, this Blue John specimen is not only monumental in size, but also stunning in the natural patterns of the hard stone. The translucent crystalline layers of the stone radiate outwards in bands of deep blues, rich purples, and golden yellows. It embodies all of the best attributes of this highly coveted stone.
The scarcity of this English stone makes a piece of this remarkable size all the rarer. Blue John is nearly impossible to find in this massive size. Due to its popularity, the largest veins of Blue John had disappeared by the early 19th century, and only a small amount of the stone remains today. Due to this scarcity, most examples of Blue John furniture feature inset veneers of smaller specimens of the stone. By contrast, this rare table features a whole, intact slab of Blue John that measures a remarkable 38 inches in diameter. It represents some of the last and largest ornamental wares created of such grand size and proportion, and such pieces are rarely found outside of the great English aristocratic estates.
The richly carved base of the table was almost certainly crafted by the famed Gillows of Lancaster and London. The Blue John specimen is held by a rosewood base and gadrooned top with brass stringing, which provides a perfect complementary richness to the vivid hues of the stone. The exceptional design of the table showcases the unique qualities for which Blue John is so loved, from its distinctive radiating structure to its rich shades of purple and gold.
Hard stone pieces such as this were popular among the British aristocracy during the 19th century. A similar, but smaller blue john table...
