• WILLIAM IV BRASS-INLAID ROSEWOOD, PARCEL-GILT

Note: These sofas are reputed to have come from the Nelson family, in which case they may possibly have been commissioned by the 1st Early Nelson (d. 1835), brother of the famous Admiral, Lord Nelson, who was given Trafalgar Park, Wiltshire by a grateful nation in memory of the victory at Trafalgar in 1805. In 1829 the Earl married as his second wife, Hilare Barlow. The Grecian sofa is inlaid with brass "Buhl" inlay in the French manner, very like the furniture supplied by the Dublin cabinet-makers and upholsterers, John and Nathaniel Preston to the 2nd Earl of Belmore for Castle Cool, Co. Fermanagh, from 1815. In particular the inlay relates to that on the rosewood tops of the set of four center tables and larger circular table in the Salon, (see H. Montgomery-Massingberd and C. Sykes, Great Houses of Ireland , London, 1999, pp. 230-231 and 241). Condition Both in good, overall condition with minor nicks and wear throughout. One with a restored paw foot.

• EUGENE HENRI CAUCHOIS (FRENCH, 1850-1911)
  EUGENE HENRI CAUCHOIS (FRENCH, 1850-1911) "LATE SUMMER REPAS" Oil on canvas. Signed 'H. Cauchois Aout 1874' (lower left). Catalogue Note: The Flemish idiom of flower painting during the first decades of the 19th century combined meticulous draftsmanship enhanced by life-like colors. This style never quite lost its appeal as the 19th century progressed, especially in France, but by the mid-19th century, one can see the emergence of a new variety of flower painters liberated from the realistic botanical approach of their traditional forerunners. Albeit a brief period, French flower painting reached a pinnacle of excellence before the Impressionists' emphasis on decomposition of light or the ruthlessly synthetic approach of many of the other movements such as the Nabis at the turn of the century overwhelmed the market. As the century progressed, particularly the French School favored a more casual placement of an artful entanglement of garden flowers along a ledge or on the ground. This required great skill to execute and was extremely popular in the 1860's. For the first time in memory, flowers in a more natural setting did not carry the heavy burden of specific botanical or allegorical associations and esoteric language that had been de rigeur previous centuries. In addition, the gradual loosening up of the brushwork gave the finished work a more lifelike feeling.

It was so great that speculation about the end of the world was bruited about among the grown folks at the farm. As it turns out a straw stack had caught fire on an adjoining farm and some small tool sheds and part of a fence was burned. We all visited the place next morning and heard tell of how the farmer and his sons had got the scared horses of the the barn.
