Catalogue Note

Between 1822 and 1835 the Duchess of Kent, with her young daughter, Princess

Victoria, stayed in Tunbridge Wells on five separate occasions. In 1826 a group of

prominent citizens of the town decided to mark these visits by making a presentation

to Princess Victoria of a Tunbridge Ware combined work and writing table.

To this end, 25 guineas was raised by public subscription to fund the making of a

distinctively and richly decorated item of Tunbridge Ware. A number of makers were

eager to take on this commission, with William Fenner, whose family activity in the

field of Tunbridge Ware dated from the 1780’s, finally being selected for the task.

In 1827 Princess Victoria and her mother stayed at Calverley House on Mount

Pleasant and before the presentation was made to the eight­year­old Princess, the

table was put on show to the inhabitants of the town.

A contemporary description of the table describes it as:

“formed with King-wood, beautifully veneered with party-coloured woods from every

part of the globe. It was lined with gold tufted satin, and comprised a complete writing

and reading desk, covered with purple embossed velvet, fitted up with cut glasses

mounted in massive silver. A side drawer exhibited a complete work-box, with appropriate

instruments of richly chased silver; the reels, runners, etc being of sandal wood, and the

silk winders fine specimens of native and foreign woods; the whole lined throughout with

gold-coloured embossed satin. A drawer on the opposite side was furnished with a

drawing box, comprising the necessary colours, pencils, pallet, sandal-wood rulers etc.

from the lower part of the top a work-box of rich gold-coloured silk, appropriately

ornamented, fell in graceful folds. The whole supported by a finely-worked tripod of solid

King-wood: and altogether it was considered an unique specimen of the taste and

ingenuity of Tunbridge-ware manufacturers”.

Such was its renown that it was still being described in Colbran’s New Guide for

Tunbridge Wells in 1840.

From 1832 Princess Victoria kept a journal, with daily entries (except for times such

as childbirth!). This journal was made available online to the public at the time of

Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee and has proved a useful resource. Visits of

the Royal party to Tunbridge Wells in 1834 and 1835 are recorded by the Princess

and demonstrate their interest in Tunbridge Ware with visits to Tunbridge Ware

shops, where they made several purchases.

Once Victoria became Queen only one more visit to Tunbridge Wells was made in

1849. Accompanied by Prince Albert, Queen Victoria made her first ever train

journey on 23rd June to visit Adelaide, the Queen Dowager, who was staying at

the Calverley Hotel. Although only visiting the town for a few hours the Queen

“stopped at the Tunbridge Ware shop, got out there, and I bought some of their

pretty things”. This would have been Edmund Nye’s workshop on Mount Ephraim.

Towards the end of his life, Prince Albert started an inventory of the Buckingham

Palace furnishings. The impressed mark ‘VR BP 1866’ on the base of the table

indicates that it was added to the inventory in 1866. When the table left the Royal

Collection is not known, but it was auctioned at Bonhams in 1985 and was bought

by MS Rau Antiques of New Orleans. It was then sold to Dr Ronald and Krista Reed

of Reed Eye Associates for $34,500.

pigment to the surface

This lot is offered together with a copy of the Oxford Authentication Thermoluminescence Analysis Report, sample no.77d18, dated 21st December 1994.

Provenance

From an English private collection, Sussex.

Catalogue Note

During the Tang dynasty, horses were valued as an important status symbol in Chinese society. Strict sumptuary laws regulated the ownership of horses,

which were only the privilege of the aristocracy. Hence, they figured prominently not only in the painting and poetry of the time but were also a popular

theme in funerary wares. The type of horses depicted was Ferghana stock from Central Asia, an import highly prized in China since the Han dynasty.

Usually portrayed tacked up with saddles and other trappings, the example offered here is unusual for being untacked, thereby placing a greater emphasis

on the strong physical appearance of the animal. This composition closely relates it to two glazed examples reputedly excavated from the tomb of General

Liu Tingxun (d.728) in Luoyang, Henan province, later in the collection of George Eumorfopoulos and now in The British Museum, London, accession

nos.1936,1012.226 and 1936,1012.227. Another similar glazed example can be seen in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, accession no.51.66.
