H: 36.5 in / 93cm | W: 54 in / 137 cm | D: 22 in / 56 cm Constructed in coromandel, with extensive gilt brass work fittings; rising from castor shod toupie feet, the two pedestals housing three lockable graduated drawers, with gilt brass cock beadings, and foliate cast swan neck handles; three long drawers in the apron, the fielded panelled sides having fitted extensible slides; the writing surface with an inset tooled leather, and having an outer moulded gilt brass guard edging; the superstructure of gilt brass trellis work, housed within turned and fluted columns, incorporating an upper shelf with an arcaded gilt brass gallery. Circa 1860 Provenance:A virtually identical desk stamped Wright & Mansfield 104 New Bond Street, but in satinwood, was offered on the London market in June 2004 Biography:Alfred Thomas Wright first came to notice in 1856 as a junior partner in the firm of Samuel Hanson, a cabinetmaker and upholsterer trading from 16 John Street (later Great Portland Street), and 106 Oxford Street. The company was joined by George Needham Mansfield, son of the old established builders and decorators George Mansfield, of Grays Inn Lane and Wigmore Street, and the firm is recorded in Post Office journals as Hanson, Wright and Mansfield at the above addresses until 1861, when Hanson died. Thereafter the company traded as Wright and Mansfield, and swiftly rose to prominence after their exhibits at the 1862 International Exhibition held in London, on the site of what is now the Natural History Museum, South Kensington. Attended by over six million visitors, despite the death in 1861 of Prince Albert, and the absence of Queen Victoria, who was still in mourning. The Art Journal Catalogue of the International Exhibition, and J.B. Waring’s ‘ Masterpieces of Industrial Art and Sculpture’ of 1862 record their work, and two bookcases, and a fireplace constructed of ‘Ginn’ or ‘Gean’ wood, with inset Wedgwood plaques were illustrated, along with a piano, painted in the manner of George Brookshaw, and commented upon and favourably compared to the Eighteenth Century work of ‘Adelphi’ Adams. This piece was recently in our possession. The progress and incredible quality presented by the exhibitors occasioned Eugene Rouher, the prominent French statesman, after the exhibition to form a committee, taking as a premise ‘ the results of the Exposition prove, that if rapid progress is not made in France, we will quickly be outstripped by our rivals’. At the 1867 Paris Universelle Exposition, a remarkable satinwood, marquetry, bronze and Wedgwood mounted cabinet won a Gold medal, the only time such an honour was bestowed upon an English cabinet maker, by the judges, presided over by M. du Sommerard director of the Cluny Museum, and M Wilkinson, Administrator de Mobilier de la Courrone. The Gold medal was presented personally to Wright & Mansfield by the Emperor Napoleon the 3rd. The cabinet was purchased by the South Kensington Museum (later the Victoria and Albert Museum) for the extraordinary sum, in those days, of £800. It remains in their possession today. Their showing at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition attracted wide admiration, and was most favourably commented upon in the journals of the day. The only remaining complete interior decoration scheme carried out by Wright & Mansfield may be seen, today, in Haddo House, Aberdeenshire, for Lord and Lady Aberdeen, on a suggestion of Sir Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, MP, her father, who had commissioned W&M to refurnish Guisichan, Inverness-shire, and Brook House Mayfair. This work was carried out in 1883, just prior to the dissolution of the partnership, in 1884, due to the failing health of Alfred Wright. The remaining stock of the company was dispersed in two sales held by Philips Son & Neale, in June 1886, and June 1887. The advertisement notes ‘comprising many beautiful Specimens of Cabinet Work, manufactured regardless of cost, specially for various exhibitions, wherein they have obtained medals for excellence of design and workmanship’. In the catalogues of the sale, held at the British Library, such extraordinary lots abound, including a ‘Panelled Room, incorporating a remarkable Sicilian marble fireplace, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, for the residence of Nell Gwynne’, as well as a number of fine Eighteenth Century satinwood pieces, which were purchased as models of both design and construction. 乌木制成,饰有大量镀金黄铜配件,圆形脚轮,两侧底座分别容纳三个可上锁的抽屉,上面有凸出的镀金黄铜串珠装饰和天鹅颈提手。桌沿下方有三个长而扁的抽屉,桌面镶有印花皮革,桌边缘饰有一圈镀金黄铜护边。桌上立有金色的格子状搁架,由小圆柱支撑着。 约 1860年 出处:2004年6月,在伦敦市场上出售了一张几乎完全相同的办公桌,上面盖着Wright&Mansfield New Bond Street 104,但用缎木制成。 传记:阿尔弗雷德?托马斯?赖特(Alfred Thomas Wright)最初是作为塞缪尔?汉森(Samuel Hanson)公司的初级合伙人而来的,塞缪尔?汉森(Samuel Hanson)是约翰逊街16号(后来的大波特兰街)和牛津街106号的家具制造商和室内装潢商。该公司由乔治?尼德姆?曼斯菲尔德(George Needham Mansfield)加入,他是格雷斯巷(Grays Inn Lane)和威格莫尔街(Wigmore Street)的老建筑商和装潢商乔治?曼斯菲尔德(George Mansfield)的儿子,该公司在上述地址的邮政局期刊中被记录为汉森(Hanson),莱特(Wright)和曼斯菲尔德(Mansfield),直到1861年,当汉森去世时。 此后,该公司以莱特(Wright)和曼斯菲尔德(Mansfield)的身分进行交易,并在1862年在伦敦举行的国际展览会上的展览迅速崛起,展览地点现在是南肯辛顿的自然历史博物馆。尽管阿尔伯特亲王于1861年去世,而维多利亚女王仍在哀悼中,但仍有超过600万游客参加。国际展览的艺术期刊目录和JB Waring于1862年创作的“工艺美术和雕塑杰作”记录了他们的作品,两个书架和一个用“ Ginn”或“ Gean”木建造的壁炉,并镶嵌了韦奇伍德斑块。以及一架以乔治?布鲁克肖(George Brookshaw)风格绘画的钢琴,与18世纪“阿德菲”?亚当斯(Adelphi)亚当斯的作品进行了评论和比较。这件作品是我们最近拥有的。 参展商展示的进步和令人难以置信的品质使法国著名政治家尤金?鲁赫(Eugene Rouher)在展览结束后成立了一个委员会,以“博览会的结果为前提”证明,如果法国没有取得迅速的进步,我们将很快就被我们的竞争对手淘汰了。 在1867年的巴黎世界博览会上,由非凡的缎面,镶嵌,青铜和韦奇伍德镶嵌的内阁赢得了金牌,这是唯一一次由法官授予Sommerard M.主持的英国内阁制造商这样的荣誉。 Cluny博物馆和Mobilier de la Courrone管理员M Wilkinson。 金牌由拿破仑三世亲自颁发给赖特和曼斯菲尔德。南肯辛顿博物馆(后来是维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆)以当时的非凡金额800英镑购买了这把内阁。今天仍然由他们拥有。他们在1876年费城百年纪念展上的展览引起了广泛的赞誉,并在当时的期刊中受到了最好评。 怀特?曼斯菲尔德(Wright&Mansfield)唯一剩余的完整室内装饰方案今天可以在阿伯丁议员杜德利?库茨?马乔里班克斯爵士(Durley Coutts Marjoribanks,MP)的父亲的建议下在阿伯丁郡的哈德故居(Haddo House)中找到。重新装修Guisichan,Inverness-shire和Brook House Mayfair。 由于阿尔弗雷德?赖特(Alfred Wright)的健康状况不佳,这项工作于1883年进行,就在合伙公司解散之前。公司剩余的股票分散在1886年6月和1887年6月由Philips Son&Neale进行的两次销售中。广告上注明“包含许多精美的橱柜标本,不计成本制造,尤其是为各种展览而制造。获得了卓越的设计和工艺奖章”。 在大英图书馆举行的拍卖目录中,有很多这样的非凡物品,包括“ Panelled Room,其中包括由克里斯托弗?雷恩爵士为内尔?格温的住所设计的西西里大理石壁炉,”购买了精美的18世纪缎木作品,作为设计和建造的模型而购买。 (中文翻译仅供参考,描述以英文为准)
