On a Regency mahogany and parcel-gilt stand. One of a pair. The cabinet is of 'architectural' form.

The pediments are surmounted by classical figures and putti, who stand flanked by female figures, with summer and autumn attributes. The cabinet is inset with panels of lapis lazuuli, agate, quartz, and various Roman marbles. The pilasters are formed of four gilt bronze standing figures, with gilt bronze capitals with rams heads, on plinths supported by four gilt bronze crowned eagles. The stand is on lion paw feet, and has a moulded top and gadrooned edge above a central frieze, with Greek key decoration, above two parcel gilt caryatid supports with floral drop swags. On the back panel is a central plaque, with a female mask, centrered by gilt wood sun rays. title: cabinet on stand NOTES ----- type: history note value: Possibly commissioned by a member of the D’Este family, Dukes of Modena and Ferrara (based upon icongraphy of the crowned eagles). Almost certainly acquired by Henry, 4th Earl of Carlisle (1698-1758) and his son Charles, Viscount Morpeth (1719-41) on their grand tour to Italy in 1738-9; then by descent to Frederick, 5th earl of Carlisle (who probably added the regency stands); then by descent at Castle Howard until sold, Sotheby’s, London, 8 July 2015, lot 22.
