A late 18th Century Japanese Imari 'punch bowl' 9 3/4" diameter x 3 1/2" high.
A wonderful sign of superior quality is that it rings like a bell when you make light contact with the top edge with the fingernail. And also, a sign of no unseen cracks in the body as it would give a dull ring not like the ring now present.
From the same collection (pic 6) as the 15 late 18th Century Japanese Imari pieces I will be offering this week.

You will not encounter a higher level of carving than is present on this chair. A Circa 1840/50 Very fine British Georgian revival chair, which I think can be safely attributed to the firm Gillows of Lancaster & London (founded in 1730) Mahogany primary wood. In picture 3 you can see the original design on an 18th century armchair in a Christie's auction catalog and the quality and almost identical carving is astounding on this chair.
Also worth noting in pic 8 (upside down) the previous owners about 25 years ago spent money having the seat blocks replaced as well as new upholstery webbing and seat filling, plus glue of the seat frame-I bought it and removed the top fabric to what is visible now. I gave the wood a coat of museum wax before having it photographed. One layer of fabric is all you have to do to the seat.
H 37" x seat 19" w/front-18" deep x 13" w/rear/seat ht 13" Please contact me with your interest in price and availability. For out of state buyers this can be boxed and shipped & for local buyers this can be delivered at no additional charge to a San Francisco Bay area after purchase.
A truly EXCEPTIONAL circa 1770s Mahogany & Satinwood fan inlaid tea table of very large size. This table would stand out at ANY major antique show and is one of the best tables I've ever handled myself as a dealer. The block under the top is Pine.
To think of the very high expense at the time for the large amount of Mahogany, and adding for the Satinwood panel in construction as this was a very expensive new exotic imported wood and this table displays the Satinwood fan as status of the wealth of the owner at the time, who would have displayed the table in a prominent position in the house to impress all who saw it. It still impresses today more than 250 years later. The top measures 33 1/2 " diameter and the fan is unusually large at 14".
The large expanse of the diameter top allows for many items to be displayed without actually obscuring the view of the Satinwood inlaid fan in the center. Over a "gun barrel" form turned stem with three cabriole legs and pad feet.
The brace under the stem is untouched since manufacture & the finish on the rest of the table is probably original. The removal of 3 screws from the right underside batten allows for removal of the top from the stem-see pic. This allows for safe and easier shipping as both pieces can be shipped together or separately depending on logistics and location.
The screws in both battens are original of the period / as can be seen in one pic one screw is missing from the batten bit this does not affect stability, and a replacement screw can be sourced quite easily. As can be seen in the pics 250 years of wood movement has caused the expected shrinkage and reattaching of the fastening clasp under the top and it has several modern screws.
The distance between each foot is 18"-foot to foot. Height is 28" Top is 33 1/2" diameter. Satinwood fan is 14" Recently given a light wax treatment-see the last image.
Circa 1795 Very fine British Georgian Period card or game table, which I think can be safely attributed to the firm Gillow's of Lancaster & London (founded in 1730) Mahogany primary wood with stunning figuring throughout, the whole piece featuring Boxwood inlays. Adding to the quality the lower leaf of the top is solid Mahogany not a veneered sub wood as is often the case. Gillow's quality. The entire edge (see pic) of the underside playing surfaces are veneered at the edges to create a raised level for the purpose of keeping items like playing cards and other items like money/drinking vessels on the playing surface without them falling off. The sole purpose of this extraordinary 18th century table was for the owner to play games like cards with friends. The table as you can see is in excellent condition and the top is quite spectacular. Very expensive to commission a table of this quality from a firm like GILLOW'S of Lancaster & London. Dimensions. Height 29" Width top 36" depth top closed 17" depth top open 34".
