拍品描述: A GEORGE III CREAM AND GREEN-PAINTED BOOKCASE CABINET CIRCA 1770-75, POSSIBLY BY THOMAS CHIPPENDALE With two graduated open shelves above panelled doors enclosing a shelf on a plinth base, with chinoiserie decoration of rocky landscapes, trees and pagodas, the backboards with chalk inscription 'Beaulieu' and numbered 'V6905', some refreshment to the green paint 46 ? in. (119 cm.) high; 29 ? in. (75 cm.) wide; 17 ? in. (44 cm.) deep This bookcase cabinet recalls the japanned green and white furniture supplied by Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779) in circa 1772 to the Drury Lane theatre impresario and actor David Garrick (1717-79) for his villa at Hampton, Middlesex (L. Galbraith, ‘Garrick’s Furniture at Hampton’, Apollo, July 1972, vol. 96, pp. 46-55). This suite of ‘Bedroom & Dressing Room’ furniture, painted to imitate Chinese wallpaper, comprising a bed (W.70-1916), a pair of clothes press (W.22:1 to 8-1917), a pair of cabinet bookcases (one bookcase - W.14:1 to 4-1994, sold Christie’s, London, 17 July 1969, lot 24 (the pair on display at Temple Newsam, Yorkshire) and a corner cupboard (W.24:1, 2-1917) are now in the Victoria & Albert Museum. A dressing-table, described by Chippendale as a ‘Lady’s Commode Toylet’, is now at Anglesey Abbey, Cambridgeshire. In a draft letter to Chippendale, Mrs. Garrick refers to ‘all that I had from you since the year 1772’ and specifically mentions ‘the new Bedstead the Two Deal presses and all those things which are painted green and white’ (ibid., p. 50). In 1778, she complained to Chippendale that the painted decoration was overpriced, costing almost twice as much as the furniture itself. This suggests that the furniture was ordered before 1775 but decorated after this date, when the Indian chintz bed hangings had been delivered safely. While the present bookcase cabinet cannot be identified in Chippendale’s accounts, which date from 1768-69 for Garrick at Hampton, these are only one phase of a commission that was to continue into the mid-1770s (C. Gilbert, The Life & Work of Thomas Chippendale, Leeds, 1968, p. 238). Chippendale’s accounts together with the 1779 Hampton inventory and the sales after Garrick’s death show he evidently owned a great quantity of japanned furniture, including that supplied by Chippendale for the Drawing Room at the Adelphi: ’12 very neat carv’d Cabreole arm’d Chairs, Japan’d Green & white… 2 ditto Burjairs Japan’d in the same manner… A large Carvd Sofa to Match the Chairs, Japand Green & white…’ (ibid., p. 245). Interestingly, other contemporaries of Chippendale were also supplying highly-fashionable painted furniture in this period. In 1776-77, Mayhew & Ince was furnishing Garrick’s neighbour and friend at the Adelphi, Henry Hoare Jnr. (1744-85), with a green and white bedroom, complete with elaborately carved four-poster bed, and a resplendent drawing room decked out with silk fringed festoon curtains, ‘5 Cabriole Elbow Chairs … painted pink and white’ (￡15 15s)...‘2 large French Birjair Chair Frames painted pink and white’ (￡10 10s) (P. Hunter, ‘Portrait of Henry Hoare jnr by unknown artist, c.1775’, Through the Years: Tales from the Hoare’s Bank Archive, vol. II, London, 2018, p. 106; https://bifmo.history.ac.uk/entry/mayhew-john-and-ince-william-1736-1811. Accessed 3 October 2019). Furthermore, Mayhew & Ince possibly supplied the extensive suite of green-japanned seat-furniture to Robert Clive, 1st Baron Clive, ‘Clive of India’ (1725-74) for Claremont House, Surrey (see Christie’s, London, 19 September 2019, lots 33 and 34).
