Provenance:
John Kenworthy-Browne is an art historian specialising in architecture and sculpture, principally from the neoclassical period. He was educated at Ampleforth College and Wadham College, Oxford, followed by the Courtauld Institute in London. John was the first National Trust curator at Dyrham Park, Gloucestershire, which he opened to the public in 1961. The Queen Mother visited Dyrham on 16th March 1962, and she was pictured with him outside the Assembly Rooms during the visit. After his time at Dyrham, John joined Christies where he catalogued furniture, and it was at Christies that he first became fascinated with sculpture. John has published numerous articles in Apollo, Burlington Magazine, The British Art Journal, Sculpture Journal and Country Life. He wrote the sculpture entries for The Age of Neo-Classicism Exhibition in 1972. He also published Chippendale and his Contemporaries (1975), and he was the co-author of Three Centuries of Furniture (1972) and The Country House Guide (1979).

£3,000-£5,000
Provenance:
Purchased A. Fredericks (Chelsea) Ltd 5 February 1957 £06.18.0
The attribution to Thomas Chippendale is substantiated by several features assigned to his workshop and comparison to a mahogany clothes press made by Thomas Chippendale for Sir Rowland Winn's Dressing Room at Nostell Priory. Invoiced by Chippendale on 12th November 1767 as 'To a very large mahogany cloaths press with a Pediment top folding doors and sliding shelves cover'd with marble paper and Bays aprons drawers in the under part made of fine wood and Good locks & c...£18 8s 0d.’ These features include the use of laminated stacked blocks of timber glued behind the bracket feet. The feet themselves are of unusual form but do closely relate to the above mentioned clothes press, along with identical handles and the use of a thin red wash to the underside. This was a technique used by many of the best English cabinetmakers, a conceit to mask the fresh ‘White’ colour of secondary timbers, used on baseboards and on other carcase surfaces.

A pair of George IV mahogany dressing tables attributed to Gillows Inlaid with ebonised lines, each with a rectangular inverted top with three-quarter gallery above a bowed drawer and kneehole flanked by two drawers to each side, on fluted turned tapering legs with brass cappings and castors, one with pencil signatures to the underside, 'Thomas(?) Wilson Joiner(?), 1829', each 111cm wide, 51cm deep, 78cm high. (2) £8,000-£12,000
The name Thomas Wilson appears several times in Gillows' Lancaster Apprentice Rolls from 1730-1850, although they were all craftsmen working in the 18th century. It is conceivable the Thomas Wilson responsible for the present lot was a descent with a long family association to the Lancastrian firm. See S.Stuart, Gillows of Lancaster and London 1730-1840, 2008, p.300.
A Thomas Wilson is recorded as a furniture broker and appraiser (1821-1829) and is probably the same Thomas Wilson recorded as an auctioneer at 28 Great Queen Street (1799-1825). It is thought that this Wilson was a dealer in second hand furniture who also used a stamp as a mean of identification and it has been been found on pieces also stamped by the firm of Gillows as well as pieces with a clear 18th century origin.

Coleman became the director of the Minton Art Pottery Studio when it was established in 1870 to give employment to young women. Pilgrim or moon flasks were a favoured shape as they provided an excellent expanse for the decorators.
A Minton pilgrim flask with the same Kingfisher design was exhibited ‘Reflections: Japan and Japonism', 19 May-17 September 2000, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.

Lamb of Manchester was a renowned cabinetmaking firm, founded by James Lamb (1817-1903), one of England’s leading high class interior design, decorating and furnishing firms of the day. Established in 1843, the firm had a cabinet making workshop in Castleford and their main gallery in John Dalton Street, Manchester, with vast furniture showrooms over three floors showing their quality pieces for sale. The firm gained a national and international reputation in the early 1860's, winning medals at the London 1862 Exhibition and the Paris 1867 Exhibition. James Lamb of Manchester became known for high quality materials and workmanship, as well as for the innovative designs created by such artists as Charles Bevan and Bruce Talbert.
James Lamb’ obituary appeared in The Journal of Decorative Art and British Decorators in 1903, it stated that his name ‘as a synonym for the best in everything that he did from 1850 –885, and he towered over everybody …as a maker of high class furniture’
Among other related examples of James Lamb's oeuvre is a chiffonier of Hungarian ash and harewood, circa 1870, in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, (illustrated Simon Jervis, Victorian Furniture, London 1968, p. 60, pl. 56)
