The present catalogue ranges between two Anglo-Indian day beds dating from about 1710 (no. 1) to the last piece of furniture made by Peter Waals (no. 22). Other highlights include a rediscovered cabinet made for William Beckford’s residence in Lansdown Crescent, Bath (no. 2); a pair of rainwater hoppers from the Palace of Westminster (no. 4), and a remarkable Russian desk designed by Ippolit Monighetti (no. 9). Each year, objects pass through our hands that, had they still been available, would have featured in Furniture and Works of Art. One such is the carved oak Zodiac Bookcase (opposite), and another is the remarkable enamel Florencia by Charles Lepec (below).
