A George III period satinwood Secretaire Cabinet
US$126,491.00
This is an extremely rare example of English cabinet making during the Adam period. It is unique in its shallow proportions, being made specifically to order. . The cabinet bears all the hallmarks in its quality and Architectural design that may be attributed to a number of eminent makers including Messrs. Ince & Mayhew who, so it is recorded, worked consistently at Burghley during the latter half of the 18th century. Research continues.
Provenance: Originally acquired by John Bly in 1967 from a collector at one time in the household of Burghley House in Lincolnshire, the ancestral home of the Marquess of Exeter. It subsequently formed an important part of a private collection until its recent dispersement, once again to John Bly by private treaty.
