Bulletin - June 2007
8874. is a most unusual and extremely effective combination of The Rococo Revival cast iron fireplace, The Ingenious Industrial North and one of Geology’s most beautiful creations…Greek Cippolino Marble. Made in an era when decorative cast iron was the latest Hi Tech material, it still has something of the Avant Garde about it probably due to the combination with the Cippolino.
9489. An English Regency Collectors Cabinet in Macassa Ebony. A very smart item shown here before revival of the polish , but already evident is the frequent understated sophistication of the English Regency period , which often anticipated the best in Art Deco…that , together with the “ dazzling “ tiger stripe black Macassa Ebony presents a Highly desirable , compact and functional item.
7093. “ John Soane “ antique Obelisk Chimneypiece…chosen for this bulletin….not because it is also unpolished…. but that it would accompany 9489 very well in a Library or Drawing Room setting, being also of an architectural concept and scale.
