This lot can now be attributed to the royal cabinet maker Charles Elliott (1752-1823) and dated to circa 1797-8 on the basis of close comparison with furniture he supplied for Langleys, Essex, see ‘Documented Furniture at Langleys Essex’, Country Life, 7 August 1942, pp. 264-5.

拍品專文

The attribution of this (and the following) cabinet to John Cobb is provided by the apparent common authorship with the preceding bombé commodes, which are strongly linked to his oeuvre. The design and decoration is unlike that generally associated with the output of the celebrated royal cabinet maker’s workshop, and would more usually be associated with Cobb’s rivals, Mayhew and Ince. The attribution is all the more interesting as these bedroom cabinets would be a rare demonstration of the final works produced prior to Cobb’s death in 1778.
