George III Collector's Cabinet in the Manner of John Linnell
About the Item
A handsome flame mahogany collector’s cabinet, circa 1800, the moulded rectangular top above a pair of oval and shaped panelled cupboard doors, the inset veneers being within raised borders of ‘woven’ boxwood and ebony veneered and with strung inlay - matched by the oval and shaped panelled sides. The whole enclosing eight full-width drawers, the upper two drawers shallow and lined in the original plush velvet, now worn, with six deep baize lined drawers beneath, all with small cast brass axe head drop handles, the whole on shaped bracket feet. Runners on the inside of both doors enable the drawers to be extended to their full depth.
The cabinet is possibly after a design by John Linnell (1729-96). The use of flamed mahogany incorporating the oval panels ally it to the design of an 18th Century George III period mahogany and satinwood map cabinet from Castle Howard. An important and more decorative piece, the lower doors of the latter have a large circular panel of satinwood within quartered mahogany veneers relating to a design by John Linnell in the V & A collection, dated to around 1765. (Sotheby’s contents sale, Castle Howard, November 1991, lots 115 and 116)
