A fine French 18th century Louis XVI gilt gesso mirror, with a beaded slip and trailing leaves decorating the frame.

This detail perhaps alludes to the unrest in France at the end of the 18th century.

French, c.1780.
Original gilding but a later mirror plate.

Provenance: From the estate of the late Marguerite Littman.

A bold and very grand Louis XV Rococo fireplace in a buttery yellow Siena marble. This fireplace is truly a statement piece, with a wonderfully ornate frieze, centred by a mask of Hercules wearing the Nemean lionskin. This cartouche is framed with foliate scrollwork which is echoed on the corners of the panelled frieze, and also on the canted, console jambs.

French, mid-20th century.

Notes: This fireplace was clearly influenced by the Salon de Hercules in The Palace of Versailles. After Antoine Vassé.

A fine 18th century giltwood console table. The gilded surface is wonderfully worn, with the warm red bole coming through. The frieze has low relief decoration very much aligned with the Venetian tradition, and this frames the faux marble top (later). The scrolled legs are supported by large baluster feet and united by a scrollwork stretcher embellished with bellflowers.

Northern Italian, c.1700.

The current top, painted in a green faux marble finish, can be replaced with your choice of marble top if desired, although the current top is quite charming and probably 19th century in date.

It is rare to have a fine Delft vase of this scale and date.

Dutch, c.1700, the underside with makers' mark for DE GRIEKSCHE A.

Photographed before restoration.

Notes: In 1658, Wouter van Eenhoorn opened his pottery in the former brewery known as the 'De Griex A' (The Greek A) His company was soon supplying an international market with contacts in London, Hamburg, Stockholm and in 1674 Rouen. In 1678, his son took over the business, and the firm started supplying the Royal House of Orange. Successive generations expanded the business, and they supplied the British monarchs William and Mary as well as their wealthy courtiers. At this time, their pottery was signed AK, which we see on this vase. The factory closed in the early 19th century.

Awaiting further research.

A rare fireplace insert by Thomas Jeckyll for Barnard Bishop and Barnard. Epitomising the Aesthetic movement style, the insert is mounted with a cast brass panel decorated with Jeckyll's signature use of Japanese mons, but the most striking decoration is of course the handpainted tiles on a burnt orange ground, decorated with birds of paradise perching on stylised branches. A rare survival of extraordinary beauty.

English, circa 1870. Notes: Barnard, Bishop and Barnards were at the heart of Norwich's iron industry, and the company gained an international reputation after their collaboration with Thomas Jeckyll. Jeckyll’s associations with a group of London artists – notably James Abbott McNeill Whistler – made him a key figure in the Anglo-Japanese Aesthetic Movement. Jeckyll used japonaise designs for Barnards’ fireplaces while his sunflower motif came to symbolise the Aesthetic Movement.
