Regency Period Rosewood & Brass Chiffonier
A superb and extremely rare Regency Period Rosewood and Brass Chiffonier surmounted by a full width shelf with a scrolling brass three-quarter gallery supported on scrolled shaped foliate details front supports above a three panel frieze with a central carved cartouche featuring a scalloped shell and oak leaves, the centre doors with brass grilles and silks flanked by bowed ends with four shelves each and flanked by cabled columns with foliate carved capitals, the centre doors opening on three sliding trays above three drawers retaining the original turned Rosewood knobs and the whole raised on shaped, turned bun feet. All the mouldings are either pea and bean or ed and the whole is in amazing original condition.
Circa 1815 Price: £9,750-00p.
Height: 52”, 132 cms, Width: 53 ½”, 136 cms. Depth: 17 ¼”, 47 cms.
Note: With the execution of King Louis XVI in 1793, the French Revolution became a contest of ideologies between the conservative, royalist Kingdom of Great Britain and its allies and radical Republican France. Napoleon, who came to power in 1799, threatened invasion of Great Britain itself. This failed due to the inferiority of his navy, and in 1805, Lord Nelson's fleet decisively defeated the French and Spanish at the Battle of Trafalgar, which was the last significant naval action of the Napoleonic Wars.
Not surprisingly, there was a huge upsurge of national pride in Great Britain and this was reflected in many different ways. The rope, rope-twist or cable had been a very potent part of the Royal Navy insignia and became a motif which was used during the Regency Period to show support and appreciation of both the Navy and British superiority. It demonstrated national pride We see this in what are known as rope back chairs and in this case with the “Cabled” columns on the Chiffonier as described by Gillows.
Morgan and Sanders furnished Nelson’s cabin on board HMS Victory and just before he was killed in the Battle of Trafalgar he had ordered them to furnish his new home at Merton. Messrs. Morgan and Sanders were on Catherine Street, Strand, London and named their premises “Trafalgar House” after their departed patron.
Lit: “Ackermann’s Regency Furniture & Interiors”, multiple mentions of Trafalgar Chairs.
