GO 49
A Gothic Revival Oak Davenport the style attributed to A.W.Pugin. The quality of this work of art is outstanding using only the best 1/4 sawn oak of the period & as you can see the condition is perfect with all it's original patina & would just require a gentle clean & wax to bring back the colour of the oak. The carving throughout this piece is exceptional, I particularly like the little acorn that has fallen leaving it's empty shell which can be seen in images 17, 18 & 19. The linenfold detail a pure Pugin signiture are finely executed. The whole composition is a feast for the eye's, such a wonderful complete work of art with perfect proportions. The side cupboard door with further Linenfold detail opens to reveal 4 graduated drawers each one a 1/2 an inch deeper than the first one & the dovetails are so fine & so precise it's a real pleasure to see this quality of craftsmanship. The initials on the back are possibly a little later but have certainly been with it most if not all of it's life, the initials are carved onto their own block & then the block has been screwed with tiny screws from inside where the drawers reside so if one didn't like the carved initials then they can be removed easily & one could have one's own block carved with their initials (but keeping the old one safe incase it turns out to be commissioned for someone important). The castors are Walnut & the lock on the door is early to mid Victorian because it is small & it has the twin shafts (image 9, it's not a great image but you can see the type of lock it is) all these details point towards this piece being made around C1850 to C1860.
Height 36", Depth 27", Width 22 3/4".

GO 53
A rare & important 2 drawer Gothic Revival/Aesthetic library table attributed to W.R.Lethaby or possibly Charles Bevan & made by Marsh Jones & Cribb (Late Kendal works) with original paper label to the underneath. Marsh Jones & Cribb were important furniture makers in Leeds in a similar league to Gillows of Lancaster specializing in Medieval or Gothic Revival furniture, they made from C1865 under licence to Charles Bevans his famous 'New Registered reclining chair' & Bevan designed for them until C1867. M.J & C made all the furniture for the marital home of Titus Salt Junior in Basildon near Saltaire & also made furniture to the designs of Bruce Talbert. W.R. Lethaby became their top designer in the 1880's. Height 31", Width 2'1" 63cm, Length 6'1" 184cm. £POA.
The style & period of this table is somewhere within the late 1870's or C1880's & because Marsh & Jones absorbed Kenton & Co in 1864 & became Marsh Jones & Cribb in 1868 it cannot be pre C1868. It has a 5 digit number '50792' on the paper label which could be the registered design number for C1886 which is around the time Lethaby started designing for them. Lethaby worked with Morris & Co & Phillip Webb on occasions & particularly on Stanmore with Webb. One can see a likeness in this table to the one Webb designed for Morris's own home in Hammersmith 'Kelmscot House'. (Last 2 images).
