SPECIALIST INSIGHT It is not usual for the focus of any commentary to be on antique furniture given that the market has become increasingly selective in this field, but there is an interesting variety in this sale, consigned by private vendors from across the midlands and Wales. Those worthy of note include lot 454, a painted Italian cassone dating from the 17th century and its decorative appeal is self-evident. Painted furniture has never fallen out of fashion and this cassone is appropriately painted with a classical scene, depicting the Roman myth of the priestess Tuccia. Elsewhere there is an Iberian elbow chair (lot 438) and a Dutch marquetry table (lot 455) that is typically inlaid with a floral panel that is in the tradition of van Mekeren, but where the treatment is mannerist, a style popular at the end of the Renaissance. Lot 434 is a good example of an 18th century Italian marquetry commode in French, Rococo form and then there are various French, Rococo style works, including a petite commode (lot 423). In sharp contrast lot 363, a German ‘Armada chest’ adds to the eclecticism of the sale. Neoclassicism is also well represented with a pair of Adam style painted elbow chairs (lot 428), indicating the breadth of styles represented in this sale. In contrast to the above, much of which is polychrome decorated, or veneered with marquetry, there is also a complementary collection of English
8
furniture. The phrase ‘brown furniture’ is frequently used and almost always in a disparaging way but it is very misleading, as there are many exceptions and many different types of brown. The market has rejected average, dingy, lacklustre pieces, especially in poor condition, but well figured and proportioned pieces that are of good quality and make a statement are a different matter altogether. Lot 424 is one such example and ticks all of these boxes, in addition to having some showy additional features. Note the trouble that the cabinet maker has taken to match the veneers left and right on each drawer and the fact that each drawer has a central, vertical feather-banding that divides each panel. Another good exception is lot 427 that not only combines good proportions and size with a great colour, despite being brown, but again has this wonderfully well figured and colourful veneer. The maker has gone to the trouble of matching the same quality veneer on the stiles and rails; very unusual and a mark of real quality. This has been complemented by a great design, which was undoubtedly
inspired by Thomas Chippendale’s ‘The Gentleman’s and Cabinet-Maker’s Director’, published in 1754, owing to the gilded brass Rococo style handles and the blind fretwork canted corners. This piece will not only engender interest with collectors, but anyone that is looking for the wow factor. In short, both pieces would have been commissioned to grace grand homes in the 18th century. Clearly, they are not just serviceable storage units, but are show-stoppers designed and made to impress and nothing has changed, for they will continue to make a statement wherever they find a home. The disparate array of furniture offered for sale shows that irrespective of style or form there should be something for everyone’s taste in this Christmas sale.

circa 1880 centrally painted with a lion's mask below a flaming urn, surrounded by seeded orange fruit and a wave exterior border, impressed 'MAW & CO / BROSELEY', 92cm diameter (stapled repair) Notes: It is likely that this charger was produced for one of the many exhibitions in which Maw & Co participated in during the late 19th century. For comparison, the Ironbridge Gorge Museum owns one other large charger, which was created for the Exposition Universelle of 1889 as a showcase of the various glazes and paints. Another charger, at a slightly smaller 71cm diameter, was exhibited in the earlier 1851 Great Exhibition and remains in private hands today. By family repute, this charger, and another (whereabouts currently unknown) were rescued by workers from the Maw & Co factory upon its closure. Given the scarcity of works of this size by Maw & Co, it is, therefore, possible that the charger in this lot was one of those rescued. The further detail on this lot was provided by the kind generosity of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Collection Trust. £200 - £300

CARRIAGE & PACKING Whilst Halls Fine Art are not packers or shippers we are happy to liaise with your chosen carrier for removal of lots after sale, given that buyers take full responsibility that the works are insured and that the carrier is responsible for both packing and insuring these works. Please note, no lots shall be released to carrier until payment has been received. If you have not arranged shipping with a chosen carrier, Halls Fine Art can also provide a list of shippers in our area. For further information, please email peter@hallsgb.com or call 01743 450700
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO JEWELLERY BUYERS Prospective buyers please note that lots marked with ◉ may be subject to VAT on the hammer price. Prospective buyers should note that although every effort is made to note repairs, restoration and damage in the catalogue descriptions, a lack of any such note should not be taken to imply that the lot is in perfect condition. Prospective watch buyers should note that the working order of watches is not guaranteed. All weights stated in the catalogue are approximate only, these figures are for reference only and prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the accuracy. Prospective buyers please note that we do not guarantee amber as being naturally formed and all or parts may be reconstituted. The colour of the amber may vary from the catalogue or online illustration. Prospective buyers are reminded that coloured gemstones have historically been treated to enhance their appearance. A variety of methods have been, and are currently used to improve both transparency and colour of various gemstones. All yellow and white metals have not been tested. The International Jewellery Trade generally accept these methods. It is not possible for Halls to obtain gemmological reports on all stones offered for sale and therefore all Halls Holding’s estimates assume that gemstones have been enhanced.
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO BOOK BUYERS Prospective buyers should be aware that general wear to include; creasing, light foxing, small tears, bumped corners, worn boards or weak spine/joints, will not be specified in the catalogue descriptions. Any substantial losses/wear to include detached boards, detached spines or extensive graffiti will be described as ‘at fault’. Prospective buyers must satisfy themselves with a condition report prior to bidding, Halls Holdings can take no responsibility for condition of purchased lots if condition reports were not requested.
IMPORTANT NOTICE Although every effort is made to note damage and restoration, the absence of such information does not imply that the lot is free from defects. Detailed condition reports and email images can be obtained on request until 4.00pm the day prior to the sale.

BEFORE THE AUCTION What is buyer’s premium? All UK auctioneers charge a premium in addition to the hammer price. Halls’ Buyer’s Premium is 20% plus VAT for the first £500,000 and 12% above £500,000 per lot Can I ask questions about lots before the auction? You can ask for further details and extra images about any lots in our sales and this is especially important if you cannot attend to view the lot in person. We don’t detail condition in our catalogue descriptions and so recommend asking for a condition report and additional images. Our reports provide a general guide to the condition of a lot but are not a forensic examination and so a physical inspection by you or an appointed agent is ideal. To request a condition report go to the lot of interest on our website and click on the 'Request a condition report' button or email adminfineart@hallsgb.com. Condition reports are always given in writing.
