Valeur estimée
£ 300 000 – 500 000
CIRCA 1785, ATTRIBUTED TO WILLIAM INCE AND JOHN MAYHEW
The top with three applied ovals painted with Cupid garlanding Venus in a landscape and two putti holding flowers, the front with Diana surprising the sleeping Endymion in the centre, holding a bow on the left and seated with greyhounds on the right, within variously stained and engraved entrelac, scroll and foliage frames and husk borders, on harewood grounds inlaid with delicate ribbon-tied foliage scrolls suspending shields, anthemia and drapery swags, the front divided by panels inlaid with urns and framed with six pilasters mounted with well-chased ormolu ram's-head and ring capitals, the lunette-inlaid frieze with a mahogany-lined drawer above three doors, the centre enclosing three mahogany drawers, flanked by cupboards, mounted with three horizontal ormolu borders chased with anthemia, fluting and stiff-leaves, on six ormolu acanthus-pattern square tapering legs with gadrooned and beaded feet, now with additional sycamore blocks added above the ormolu feet - these can easily be removed and the original height of the commode re-instated
721/2 in. (184 cm.) wide; 363/4 in. (93.5 cm.) high; 291/4 in. (74 cm.) deep
Provenance
Possibly made to celebrate the marriage of Sir Henry Paulet St John, 3rd Bt. to Jane, heiress of the Mildmay family, for Dogmersfield Park, Hampshire.
By descent in the Mildmay family.
The Lord Mildmay of Flete, Christie's, London, 5 June 1947, lot 114.
The Hon. Mrs Daisy Fellowes, Donnington Grove, Newbury, Berkshire, and thence by descent.
Anonymous sale, Christie's, London, 29 March 1984, lot 196.
‘The Barbara Piasecka Johnson Collection’, Christie’s, London, 9 July 1992, lot 162.
The 10th Earl of Portsmouth, and thence by descent at Farleigh House, Hampshire.
An alternative possibility is that the commode may have entered the Mildmay family through the marriage in 1823 of Sir Henry's son, Humphrey St John Mildmay, grandfather of Lord Mildmay of Flete (1861-1947), to Anne Baring, eldest daughter of the collector and connoisseur of English furniture, Alexander Baring, 1st Lord Ashburton ( 1774 - 1848 ) and then by descent to their son Henry Bingham Mildmay of Shoreham Place, Kent and grandson Lord Mildmay of Flete.
