- Lot Description
The anthemion cast border above the black porto marble top, over a pair of grilled doors fitted with shelves, divided by columnar supports and flanked by open shelves, raised on foliate and gadrooned carved feet.
38 1/2 x 6 ft. x 16 in.
Note: Godson & Coles makes the argument that this piece was made by Frederick Appletree of Birmingham for John Gibbons, Edgebaston, circa 1837. They searched the Gibbons family archives which contain a number of bills from Frederick Appletree, 47 Bull Street, Birmingham, trading as "Cabinet Maker & Upholsterer, Interior Decorator, Paper Hanger", his invoice heading states "The Trade Supplied With Seasoned Mahogany, Rosewood, Fine Veneers & Bed Pillars, Etc.". While is wasn't possible to establish which invoice from 1837 to 1842 matches this lot, they found that Gibbons was clearly engaging Appletree for much of the furnishing of his Edgbaston home and this cabinet corresponds to the furnishings Appletree was supplying.
The marble is cracked with associated losses, and scuffing. In good overall condition with slight wear to the varnish on the front left side. Expected wear with very minor nicks. Backboards missing on the back, may have been removed for electrical equipment (stereo). Fine quality. Structurally sound.Not withstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.Condition
