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. Both lacking some buttons on the upholstery and could use a good cleaning. Beautifully inlaid and carved, grand scale. Structurally sound. One is a well executed later copy, made in the very late 19th or early 20th century.
Notwithstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
