An important George III satinwood, marquetry and tulipwood banded demi-lune commode attributed to Gillows The top banded in tulipwood with a chevron marquetry banding and centred by an elliptical panel, above a pair of doors centred by oval panels of marquetry shells on a harewood ground and enclosing a shelf, flanked by bowed end panel doors centred by stylised conch shells on harewood grounds, each enclosing two shelves, on square section tapering cross banded feet, the reverse of the commode constructed of four fielded panels, to be sold together with Nora Zeigler's copy of R.W Symonds, "Masterpieces of English Furniture and Clocks" inscribed to Miss L.N Ziegler132cm wide, 57cm deep, 91.5cm high. Provenance: The Ziegler family of Ziegler & Co, Carpet manufacturers and merchants, Manchester Nora Ziegler (1888-1969) and thence by descent to: Rupert James Mawson Howe (1911-1971) and thence by descent to the vendor. The commode offered here is attributed to Gillows on the basis of its similarity in both materials, design and construction to the documented Workington Commode supplied by the firm to John Christian Curwen M.P (1756-1828). Both commodes are veneered in satinwood and banded in purplewood and incorporate similar marquetry shells, while the shell decoration on the commode offered here is more complex, the Workington Commode features highly unusual figurative panels. The commodes both have the same ‘French’ feet, overhanging tops and identical detailed chevron banding. The coloured design for the Workington commode appears in the Gillow Estimate Sketch book for 1788 and is reproduced in L.Boynton, Gillow Furniture Designs 1760-1800, Hertfordshire 1995, colour plate 12. Similar shell marquetry in combination with a plain purplewood elliptical panel on the top appears on the satinwood marquetry card table stamped Gillow of Lancaster and London and illustrated in S. Stuart, Gillow of Lancaster and London, 1730-1840, Vol. 2, Suffolk, 2008, pl.GG63, p.393 In 1788, the prominent cabinetmakers Gillows of Lancaster crafted an exceptional satinwood commode for John Christian, M.P., intended for his Dressing Room at Workington Hall, one of his Cumbrian estates. This semi-circular commode exemplifies the firm’s most ambitious work of the period, featuring four doors, inlaid shell motifs, and elaborate marquetry. The piece cost Gillows £11.5s.0d. to produce and was sold to Christian for £13.18s.0d., yielding a 24% profit. The commode’s refined design includes rich satinwood veneers with purplewood and tulipwood inlays, a top overhanging slightly to accommodate projecting pilasters, and French feet. The most remarkable decorative elements are the two inlaid ovals on the central doors, depicting a Cumbrian miner and a local girl carrying a “swill” basket—a highly unusual choice in English furniture design, which typically favoured classical or mythological subjects. Christian, a wealthy landowner with significant mining interests, was known for his progressive political views and advocacy for the working class. A member of the Society of Friends of the People, he likely commissioned these figures as a tribute to the local labour force. The Workington commode is notable not only for its craftsmanship and social symbolism but also because it marks a rare instance where Gillows attempted figural inlay. No other known pieces from the firm during the 18th century include similar motifs. Christian also commissioned a pair of commodes of this form from the Gillow firm which appear in the Gillow Estimate sketch books for 28 June 1786 and which remain untraced. The pair of commodes were made for his round house ‘Belle Isle’ on Lake Windermere named after his wife, the heiress Isabella Curwen whom he married in 1782. These commodes appear plain in the Gilllow Estimate sketch books but the Gillow historian Ned Pakenham has noted that often, even into the 19th century, Gillows did not always draw detail into their sketches, so handles, marquetry, fluting, reeding and carving will not always be shown or even mentioned in accompanying text in the sketch books but will be there on the executed item Lot UpdatesAll lots are subject to 25% Buyer's Premium plus VAT
