拍品描述 翻译
Description: Pair of George II Walnut Library Armchairs Circa 1755 Each rectangular backrest with shaped armrests with foliate carved scrolled handholds and flowerhead paterae, above an overupholstered trapezoidal seat, raised on carved cabriole legs ending in hairy paw feet, retaining the original brass and leather casters. Height of backrest 39 3/4 inches (1.01 m), width 24 inches (61 cm), height of seat 17 inches (43.2 cm), width 26 1/2 inches (67.3 cm), width overall 31 1/2 inches (80 cm), depth 22 1/2 inches ( 57.2 cm). Provenance: Almost certainly commissioned as part of a larger suite, by Sir Philip Yorke, (1690-1764), Baron Hardwicke of Hardwicke, Gloucestershire, 1734, created Earl of Hardwicke and Baron Royston, 1754, for the newly created Long Gallery at his seat, Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire. Thence by descent at Wimpole until the house, together with much of its contents including the present chairs were sold in 1894 by the 5th Earl of Hardwicke to Thomas, 2nd Lord Robartes, and 6th Baron Clifden. Thence at Wimpole Hall until removed by the 6th Viscount or his son, Francis Gerald, 7th Viscount, to Lanhydrock, Bodmin, Cornwall, circa 1930. Six chairs from the original suite, together with a settee, were sold by the 7th Viscount Clifden, K.C.V.O, Lanhydrock, Cornwall, Christie''s, London, December 10, 1953. The present chairs were purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Martin Gersh from Messrs. Frank Partridge Inc., New York, 1961, and are presumably a pair from this suite. The pair was sold in their sale, Sotheby''s, New York, October 18, 2006, lot 65. Wimpole Hall was originally designed and built between 1640 and 1670 by Sir Thomas Chicheley, a friend of the architect Sir Christopher Wren. It was subsequently sold to the City merchant Sir John Cutler. His son-in-law, Charles Robartes, 2nd Earl of Radnor enlarged it and in 1710 Wimpole was acquired by the Duke of Newcastle who then passed it to his son-in-law Edward Harley, later 2nd Earl of Oxford. Wimpole was then acquired by Philip Yorke, Ist Earl of Hardwicke (1690-1764), who commissioned the architect Henry Flitcroft to reface the central block, which had survived from the Chicheley period, and to make various internal alterations including the creation of the long gallery in the west wing. Some sixty feet long, the room was created by Flitcroft in 1742 out of three small ''cabinets'' which was subsequently altered again, retaining two screens of columns probably dating from alterations for the 4th Earl in the 1840s. Presumably, the present chairs, together with eight other chairs and two pairs of sofas, were commissioned by the Earl of Hardwicke at the time of Flitcroft''s alterations to furnish this new gallery, their exceptional scale being suitable for a room of this size. Unfortunately, there do not appear to be any surviving accounts relating to the maker of the suite, although their quality and design indicate a London maker of some distinction. Unusually carved in walnut of fine grain and seeming to retain an old and untouched surface, their design exemplifies the prevalent taste of the period, with their finely modeled lion-paw feet, scrolled acanthus leaves, stylized foliate shells and C-scrolls ornamenting the strongly conceived frame. Another almost identical set of six armchairs without provenance is recorded as being on the London art market in the early 1930s, differing only in the carving of the terminals to the arms.
