The Summer Sale
Lots: 273
A Sèvres Porcelain Tea Service of Royal Provenance is one of the outstanding lots of Tennants Auctioneers’ Summer Fine Sale; this exquisitely painted service is dated 1820, and comprises a teapot and cover, a sucrier, a milk jug and five cups and saucers, all decorated with portraits of great composers including Gluck, Haydn and Mozart, painted by Jean Georget. Leading the furniture in the sale is a fine George III Carved Mahogany Tripod Table, attributed to Thomas Chippendale, and further outstanding highlights include an impressive George IV Gilt Bronze Ten-Branch Chandelier in Regencé Style and a Monumental Carved Marble Model of the Borghese Vase by Randolph John Rogers.
A particularly good selection of clocks include a Late 17th Century Kingwood Eight Day Table Timepiece made by Nathaniel Hodges circa 1685, a Walnut and Marquetry Month Going Longcase Clock made by Philip Corderoy in London in 1690, and a fine and rare 1000 Year Calendar and Moon Phase Atmos du Millenaire Atlantis Clock by Jaeger LeCoultre, made to celebrate the Millenium.
