Note:The inspiration for this elegant armchair is undoubtedly takenfrom French fashion of the period as interpreted by a mid 18th-century cabinet maker. Thomas Chippendale illustrated severalexamples of ‘French’ chairs in his ‘Gentleman and CabinetMakers Director published in 1754, and other important cabinetmakers of the St. Martin’s Lane Academy worked in this style.The pattern of this chair, with its incised trellis ground, enjoyedconsiderable popularity in the mid 18th century, makingidentifying the specific maker a bit of a mystery. The chair isvery similar to the well-known suite of seat furniture previouslyin the collection of Sir John Ward, K.C.V.O of Dudley House.Helena Hayward, the furniture historian, in her 1964 Conoisseurarticle described the Dudley House suite saying “it would be noexaggeration to claim that no finer example of its period is nowknown to exist”. Several top London cabinet makers have beenput forward as the likely makers of these chairs, includingWilliam Bradshaw of Greek Street, Soho, or his partner PaulSaunders who supplied related suites to Hagely HallWorcestershire and Petworth, Sussex. Other potentialcandidates include James Whittle, Snr and Samuel Norman ofSt. Andrew’s Street Soho, as well as William Vile and JohnCobb of St Martin’s Lane who supplied related cabriole leggedchairs John Chute at the Vyne, Hampshire and the Hon. JohnDamer of Came House, Dorset. A pair of similar chairs soldChristie’s New York, 11 June 2010, lot 428.

Note:This fine table, with its robustly carvedpedestal base and paw feet exhibits allthe bravura and style associated with theheight of the Regency period. These boldfeatures combined with the fine detail ofthe scrolling foliate brass inlay providethe feminine balance to what can beviewed as a very masculine piece offurniture. Thomas Hope's 'HouseholdFurniture & Interior Decoration'published in 1807, was a defined shiftaway from the somewhat femininerestraint of the late 18th century found inSheraton's designs, and helped introducea bold look for a new century.

John Simeon Bart, 3rd Baronet, had a career as a naval officerbefore returning to the Isle of Wight in 1847 to serve as aLiberal Member of Parliament. In 1851 he resigned his seat afterconverting to Catholicism, feeling that to not do so would havebeen a disservice to those who had elected him when he was amember of the Anglican Church. He returned to Parliament in1865. Bart was a good friend of Tennyson, and it is noted that itwas the poet who encouraged Woolner to sculpt the bust.
