About the Item

Queen Anne Circa 1710 Walnut & Oyster / Laburnum Chest on Chest with documentation accrediting it to the collection of Captain Edward George Spencer Churchill 1876-1964 A highly decorative and important bureau bookcase dating to the early part of the 18th century. The frame is English Walnut which has been finished with the finest cuts of Oyster veneer I have ever seen The chest is exquisite, it includes two of the three original keys which lock the base cupboard and desk section, the drop leaf reveals a nice hand dyed green leather gold leaf tooled writing surface A paper receipt dated 8th October 1968, for the purchase of this piece accompanies this lot. The receipt lists the cabinet as having come from the Captain E.G. Spencer-Churchill Collection. Captain Edward George Spencer-Churchill (1876-1964) was the son of Lord Edward Spencer-Churchill, DL, and Augusta Warburton, and cousin to Sir Winston Churchill and the Spencer Family which is of course included the late Princess Diana. I will include a short Bio below. In 1912 he inherited Northwick Park, Gloucestershire, and it's collection, to which he added based on his own interests. After his death, the collection was sold by Christie's in 1965. Condition wise, we have deep cleaned hand condition waxed and hand polished it from top to bottom, there will be age and use related patina marks as you would expect, some small veneer losses, some timber shrinkage splits, all of which adds to the charismatic look and feel Dimensions Height:- 184.5cm Width:- 105.5cm Depth:- 54.5cm, depth with the drop leaf down and the drawer extended 103cm Under leg height:- 76cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask Capt Edward G Spencer-Churchill 1876-1964 Collector. Son of Lord Edward Spencer-Churchill, DL, and Augusta Warburton, and cousin to Sir Winston Churchill. Inherited Northwick Park from his maternal grandmother in 1912. Awarded the Military Cross in WWI. Sold large groups of inherited prints (selected by the BM) to the BM in 1919 and 1928 (see Dodgson's report 7 March 1928). Other prints were bought at the Sotheby auction in November 1920. The remainder of the Northwick Park Prints and Drawings collection, most of it formed by John Rushout, 2nd Baron Northwick (q.v.) in the 19th century, was sold by order of Spencer-Churchill's executors at Christie's, London, 25 May, 1965, in 266 lots, including many drawings by Joseph West (made into an album by Lord Northwick, acquired in 2009 by the BM) and by George Perfect Harding, and drawings of Chinese costumes. Spender-Churchill also formed collections himself. He was a member of the Oriental Ceramic Society and of the Karlbeck Syndicate (q.v.). Developed a rich collection and was a lender to the Persian Art Exhibition at the Royal Academy in London from January-February 1931. Sold a large number of objects to the British Museum during his lifetime. Some of his collection was previously bought by Spencer-Churchill from Ernst Herzfeld (q.v.). His will stipulated that the British Museum and Ashmolean Museum should have the first right of refusal on antiquities from his collection, and that the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery should have similar first choice of his paintings. Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
