1295	A LATE GEORGE II MAHOGANY POLE SCREEN in the manner of Thomas Chippendale, with a rectangular gros and petit-point banner worked with a parrot amidst summer foliage, on a spirally-fluted baluster shaft carved with bellflowers and beading, with a lower collar of stiff acanthus leaves, on three scrolling legs carved with rocaille-work and acanthus and ending in knurled toes, the pole with a finial carved with acanthus, 55.5" high. The banner 29.25" x 22.75". See illustration Provenance: The Jervoise Family, Herriard Park, Hampshire and thence by descent. This exceptionally fine pole screen relates to the published designs of Thomas Chippendale. Examples supplied by him to Dumfries House similarly have banners covered on the reverse with Chinese painted wallpaper. The finial on the present example bears a striking resemblance to those found on the Dumfries screens. Estimate: 3000-6000	Nil	12500
1296	A GEORGE II MAHOGANY POLE SCREEN in the manner of William Hallett, with a large rectangular petit point banner, on a baluster-turned and spirally fluted shaft and three cabriole legs carved with acanthus leaves and ending in claw and ball feet with castors, the banner 33.5" wide x 35" high. See illustration Estimate: 800-1600	Nil	1500
1297	A GEORGE II GILTWOOD WALL MIRROR in the manner of William Kent, with a bevelled rectangular plate in an eared and sanded frame, with an egg and dart outer border and cascading leafage and drapery at the sides, the acanthus carved swan-neck pediment centred by a cartouche with curling leaves and the entablature with a scallop shell flanked by leafy fronds, the shaped apron with a conforming cartouche flanked by leafage, 56" high x 30.5" wide. See illustration Provenance: The Jervoise Family, Herriad Park, Hampshire, and thence by descent. Estimate: 3000-6000	Nil	6500
1298	A GEORGE II GILTWOOD WALL MIRROR in the manner of William Kent, apparently retaining the original bevelled rectangular plate in an eared and sanded frame, with a gadrooned inner border and an egg and dart outer border, the swan-neck pediment centred by a cartouche with curling acanthus leaves and the entablature with crossed palmettes, the undulating apron centred by a scallop shell, with brass fittings for candle branches, 58" high x 34" wide. See illustration Provenance: The Jervoise Family at Herriad Park, Hampshire and thence by descent. Estimate: 3000-6000	Nil	11000
1299	A PAIR OF LATE GEORGE II MAHOGANY CANDLESTANDS, each with a detachable octagonal top with a pierced fretwork gallery on a fluted and baluster shaft and a tripod base, 48.75" high x 10.25" dia. See illustration Provenance: The Jervoise Family at Herriard Park and thence by descent. The simple fluted column on these understated candlestands may be compared to a pair supplied by Thomas Chippendale to Paxton in 1774 (cf. Christopher Gilbert: The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale, page 212, plate 385). The pierced "lattice-work" galleries, however, are more redolent of those found on a pair of candlestands with more elaborate bases supplied to Blair Castle in 1758. Estimate: 3000-5000	Nil
