- THEODORE ALEXANDER WASHINGTON CHEST,
THEODORE ALEXANDER WASHINGTON CHEST, CHARLES SPENCER SIGNED"The Washington Chest," produced by Theodore Alexander for the Althorp Living History collection, reproducing notable antique furniture from the famed Spencer estate. The original 1650 English chest was owned by the Washington family before their emigration to America, and has long been housed in the Althorp House. The Washington chest is reproduced to extreme faithful accuracy, including applied distress to exactly match the wear present on the original (such as the long scuff underneath the lid). To the interior is a reproduction of a framed 1877 affidavit by a local priest who verified the chest had been owned by the Washington family.
Though Theodore Alexander continues to produce Althorp Living History collection (TheodoreAlexander.com suggests a retail of $6075 for the Washington chest, and individual dealers may offer as low as around $4500), this chest is from the original limited run, marker-signed by Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer and younger brother of the late Princess Diana. Charles Spencer first granted Theodore Alexander the license to reproduce the Althorp House furniture in 2004. Measures 28 1/2" x 53" x 23".
Condition
Very good condition, with the majority of the wear being applied and original to the piece. There are a few new scuffs to the top of the lid.

Porter Trust & The Executors of the late Leonard RawcliffeNote: Edward Holmes Baldock (1777-1845) is listed in London Trade Directories of the period in various capacities. He first appears listed at 7 Hanway Street, London in 1805 described as a '...dealer in china and glass' and by 1821 as '...an antique furniture and ornamental furniture dealer'. By 1826 the various facets of the business included '...buying and selling, exchanging and valuing china, cabinets, screens, bronzes etc'. He is known to have repaired, re-modelled and adapted furniture, often 18th century pieces, but he also designed furniture both in the 18th century style and in more contemporary styles. The fashion for this type of inlay was popularised by the Tottenham Court Road inlayer and buhl manufacturer Robert Blake in the 1820s. By the 1840s the firm were trading as Blake, Geo. & Brothers, inlayers, etc' in Tottenam Court Road and Mount Street, Mayfair and were renamed George Blake & Co. sometime in the late 1840', and it is now generally assumed that pieces previously attributed to Baldock were in fact produced by the Blake family but sold under Baldock's name.Note: Please be aware that this lot contains material which may be subject to import/export restrictions, especially outside the EU, due to CITES regulations.
