Foreword
We have been extremely fortunate in purchasing many items privately over the past year. About forty items have come to us in this way, hardly any of which have been on the market in the last thirty years. A number of these are presented here, along with many other superb and sought-after pieces.
I hope you will enjoy reading this catalogue as much as I have enjoyed compiling it. At the time of going to print, only the centre table on page183 has been sold.
I must draw your attention to just a few of my favourite items. The wine cooler on page 77, which we have owned before, is of exceptional quality and extremely rare. The set of parcel gilt stools on page 64 are of outstanding quality, and it is remarkably rare to have a set of four. The Royal gesso wall lights on page 263 were notably made by Jean Pelletier, and the Kensington Palace gesso table on page 265 was carved by RobertDerignée and gilded by Jean Pelletier.
I would as always like to thank my loyal staff and everyone who has helped with this production.
We have also been busy at the major international fairs, taking part in the Treasure House Fair and Frieze Masters in London during June and October 2024 respectively, and the Winter Show in New York in January 2025.
We look forward to seeing you at the next Treasure House Fair in London from 26 June to 1 July this year.
