Large Antler Coat Stand by J. Parker of Woodstock. England, circa 1850 A striking and rare antler and oak hall stand attributed to J. Parker of Woodstock, noted cabinetmaker and upholsterer active in the 1850s. The central pole bears a diamond registration plaque, dating the original design to 15 January 1852, when it would have been registered with the National Patent Office. Given the close proximity of Woodstock to the Blenheim Park Estate and its historic deer herd, it is highly likely that the antlers used in this piece originate from Blenheim. A closely related, documented example is held in the collection of the National Trust at Speke Hall, England. This wonderfully sculptural stand is composed of interlaced antlers and oak, forming an elegant rack for hats and coats. The lower section incorporates a basin for umbrellas and walking sticks, retaining its original tole liner, all raised on bun feet. The whole is mounted on a solid oak barley twist column, topped by a turned finial, lending both movement and architectural presence. Darkly toned with a rich, well developed patina, the stand embodies the lodge style aesthetic so prized in the late 19th-century. Robust hardwood construction and finely worked antlers demonstrate high quality craftsmanship and enduring stability. Antler furniture rose to prominence following the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, London, 1851, where such pieces were presented as fashionable novelties of modern living. Designers such as the German horn carver and furniture maker H. F. C. Rampendahl helped to establish this distinctive genre, which was soon produced in series for an aspiring European middle class. Both practical and highly decorative, this unusual 19th-century antler and oak hall stand is ideal for an entrance hall, where it serves not only as a functional piece for coats, hats and umbrellas, but also as a true conversation piece and a statement of refined country house style. Height 210cm (82.7in) Diameter 57cm (22.4in)

Gabrielle MONTALD ♀ Née CANIVET, 1867 | 1942 Oiseau décoratif - Decorative bird - 1929 615 × 460 mm (sheet) | 64 × 48 cm (framed) Guoache and ink over gold ground on paper. Signed and dated l.r.: ‘G. Montald 29’. PROVENANCE Private collection, Belgium. RELATED WORKS Among Gabrielle Montald’s most significant autonomous bodies of work, the so-called Oiseau décoratif series occupies a central position. Although the motif appears as early as 1914, the majority of these works were produced between 1925 and the early 1930s. Following her international recognition at the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where her imaginative bird drawings were prominently exhibited, the series expanded in both scope and refinement. In 1927, three of the works shown in Paris were acquired by the Belgian government, marking the beginning of an institutional recognition that endures to this day. Rarely appearing on the market, a large part of Gabrielle Montald’s known oeuvre — including her textiles and bookbindings — is now preserved in Belgian museum collections.
