拍品描述: A GEORGE II CARVED GILTWOOD CONSOLE TABLE CIRCA 1740-50 The Derbyshire fossil marble top with a moulded edge above a sanded frieze with gadrooned edge and centred by an asymmetric shell, hung with flowering and fruiting swags, on shell and foliate-carved cabriole legs with hairy paw feet, bearing Norman Adams trade label, re-gilt 33 ? in. (85 cm.) high; 54 in. (138 cm.) wide; 28 in. (71 cm.) deep The pier table is likely to have been commissioned in the 1740's by William Wentworth, 2nd Earl of Strafford (d.1791), following his inheritance of Wentworth Castle, Yorkshire in 1739. Its Derbyshire fossil limestone slab, which is likely to have been mined on Lord Raby's estates, corresponded with door-frames and chimney-pieces in the house. This limestone, known at the time at 'Entochal Marble', became increasingly popular for table-slabs when the introduction of water-driven machinery at Ashford in the middle of the 18th century reduced the costly labour of dressing the polished marble manually. The table was designed to harmonise with the fashionable French decoration of Wentworth which was redecorated by the artist Clermont and the celebrated stuccoists Artari and Bagutti under the direction of the architect James Gibbs (d. 1754). Its 'earthy' frame's fruit and flower-festooned shell and its 'festive' panther feet recall Palladian ornament and the poet's concept of 'Nature's abundance in the Golden Age'; while the shell cartouche's asymmetrical twist reflects the contemporary French pittoresque style. Its general form derives from tables en consoles, invented by the French architect Nicholas Pineau (d. 1754) and re-engraved in 1739 by the English architect and ornamentalist Thomas Langley, as 'Marble Tables' in his City and Country Builder's and Workman's Treasury of Designs, 1740, pls. CXLI and CXLII. An Anglicised version, more appropriate as a sideboard-table, was engraved in William Jones' Gentleman or Builder's Companion, 1739,(see E.White, Pictorial Dictionary of British 18th Century Furniture Design, Woodbridge, 1990, p.262 - 263, pl. 27 - 32) while patterns for console tables with similar asymmetrical shell cartouches were illustrated by the Italian artist ornamentalist Gaetano Brunett in his Sixty Different Sorts of Ornament, 1736.
