Pair of Bookcase / Showcase Cabinets, Theodore Alexander "Althorp" Mahogany

Flame Mahogany Bookcase / Showcase Cabinets, Theodore Alexander 'Althorp Collection, Rare proportions

The Theodore Alexander 'Althorp Collection' Niche Bookcases you've chosen are a beautiful example of furniture in the Sheraton taste, crafted with high-quality materials and intricate detailing. Here's a breakdown of the key features:

Flame Mahogany Veneer: The use of flame mahogany veneer suggests a focus on high-end craftsmanship and rich, visually striking woodwork. Flame mahogany is prized for its distinctive grain patterns, giving the piece an elegant and refined appearance.

Sheraton Style: Named after the English furniture designer Thomas Sheraton, this style is characterized by clean lines, elegant proportions, and a preference for restrained decoration. The bookcase combines classical elements with a slightly more neoclassical aesthetic.

Molded Cornice with Icicle Frieze: The cornice (the top molding) adds a classical architectural feel to the design. The icicle frieze refers to a decorative pattern resembling hanging icicles, which gives a subtle but luxurious detail to the upper part of the bookcase.

Glazed Doors with Oval Astragals: The oval astragals (the wooden bars within the glass) are a notable feature, offering both visual elegance and structural integrity. The glazed doors allow for display while protecting the contents of the bookcase.

Velvet-Lined Interior with Glass Shelves: Velvet lining in the interior adds a touch of luxury and provides a soft backdrop for displaying items, while the glass shelves offer versatility for arranging books, collectibles, or other items.

Frieze Drawer Above Patera-Inlaid Doors: The frieze drawer likely provides additional storage space, while the patera inlay is a classic design motif, often used to embellish doors and panels with circular or radiating patterns.

Splayed Bracket Feet: The splayed bracket feet give the piece a sense of lightness and elegance, typical of the Sheraton style, while providing stability.

Lighted Interior: The addition of lighting enhances the display aspect of the bookcase, allowing it to highlight its contents and create an atmosphere of sophistication.

This bookcase would make a striking statement piece in a traditional or neoclassical-themed interior, offering both functional storage and a visually captivating design.

Both maintaining their original Althorp tags.

School Of Van Dyck - 17th Century Oil On Panel Portrait Of Queen Henrietta Maria (1609-1669)

Fine and jewel like oil on panel portrait of Queen Henrietta Maria c.1635 by an artist in the circle of Van Dyck.

 

When Queen Henrietta Maria married Charles 1 in 1625 she brought with her the French fashions in clothing and make up with we see here. In this jewel like oil on panel we see the rouged cheeks and red lips of which the Puritan public disapproved, and also the ‘lovelock’ hairstyle - a single curling ringlet dangling down and inviting amorous fingers to play with it.

 

Such a low neckline is unusual in depictions of the monarch, except for those which she is whine wearing a crown to denote her high status. It is likely that this is the reason why this small corm is included, as it is an unusual feature.

 

Several Van Dyke portraits of Henrietta Maria reveal the same diagonal sweep of jewels over the chest, it being held in place by being intertwined with a horizontal string of pearls. The jewels are diamonds and we can see this from their square shape and the fact that they are table cut. Pearls such as this were worn to to accentuate the pearlescent quality of a woman’s complexion. Here they emphasise the rounded breast between which a circular jewel has been placed defying logic. Stripped of the usual cloth that would cover the breasts there is little space for the jewel to be pinned. The overall effect is sumptuous and well as suggestive. It may also relate to another unusual feature of the sitters costume in the from of a high and wide waistline, which seems indicative of pregnancy, and although this was a regular feature of Henrietta Marias life throughout the 1630’s it is seldom seen in her iconography.

 

Queen Henrietta Maria (1609-1669) Born on 25th November 1609, Henriette Maria of France was the youngest daughter of Henri IV of France and Marie de Medici. Sister to Louis XIII of France, Isabel of Bourbon. Queen of Spain, Gaston of Orleans ad Christine, Duchess of Savoy, Henrietta Maria was a great match for any prince of Europe

   

 

Henrietta Maria was born before the tragic death of her father, Henry IV, in 1610 (he was assassinated in a stabbing). It was her brother, Louis XIII, who rapidly became a father figure to her and her mother, Marie de Medici, who ensured that her children would play important political roles in early modern Europe.

 

Following the failed attempt to marry Charles (heir to the English and Scottish thrones) to the Spanish Infanta negotiations began between the English and French crowns. Despite her Catholicism Henrietta Maria was the perfect match for Charles. She was nine years younger than the English/Scottish prince and would secure a strong alliance with France to counterbalance Spain''s growing power over Europe.

 

On 1st May 1625, Charles was married by proxy to the French princess in front of the doors of Notre Dame in Paris. Soon Henrietta Maria''s presence at the Protestant court generated gossip and issues. People feared that Charles was becoming more and more tolerant towards the Catholics of the country with some believed that Henrietta Maria was in part responsible for this. When it came to her religion, Henrietta Maria was unapologetic and expressed her feelings openly and as a result attacks on Henrietta Maria intensified. In 1632 a Puritan, William Prynne, published a book entitled Histriomastix: the Player''s Scourge or Actor''s Tragedy, which was a critique of English Renaissance theatre and actors.

 

In his work, Prynne directly referenced the queen and called her a ''whore''. For his attack, he was sentenced to have his ears cropped and to be imprisoned for life in the Tower. He was also fined £5,000 and his book was to be burned by the common hangman.

 

Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641) was commissioned to portray the queen''s beauty, and many others were inspired by his portraits of the queen.
