Superb 19th century large oak revolving bookcase with drawer. English - Circa 1870. Colman's Mustard Family Provenance. Labelled.
The bookcase is of very good quality. A beautiful and unusual variation on the more ubiquitous slatted design, each side having fielded hand-carved panels of both linenfold and sinuous design. Sitting on patent metal roller castors. Made in solid oak throughout.
It is in very good condition, showing a few knocks to the edges in places with use. There is no woodworm. The top has a few small dent marks and slight differences in colour. The base shows a few indentation marks where the bookcase has been revolving. The bookcase has been cleaned and waxed.
The bookcase is heavy, weighing 60kg. The brass outer fitted castors are of a patent design, with metal rollers. These are original but they do not do much to help the movement of the bookcase due to its weight. The bookcase revolves well.
Provenance:
Clyffe House 'The Clyffe' Jeremiah & Caroline Colman. Coalman's Mustard.
Clyffe House was purchased by Jeremiah James Colman in 1869 as a second residence for his family. The house was enlarged in 1874 and Jeremiah and his son, Russell purchased more land in Corton, Blundeston, Flixton, Gunton, Hopton and Lound, most of which was bought from the Fowler family of Gunton Hall.
Jeremiah was also responsible for building the Methodist Chapel (1874), the Village Hall with the Bowling Green (1881), Anchor Cafe in The Street (now turned into houses), Almshouses and cottages for the people who worked on his estate. He also funded the building of the school.
Jeremiah spent £70,000 on a sea wall in the 1870s to try to prevent coastal erosion but this started to crumble in 1903 and by 1917 'The Clyffe' was in such a dangerous position that the contents of the house had to be sold and the house was partially demolished.
Finally, after the First World War, the estate and many of the houses were sold to East Suffolk County Council, to be divided into small holdings and farms for tenants who wanted to return to making their living from the land.
The Colmans are famous for their mustard which is produced in Norwich.
As the label, which is photographed, suggests, this bookcase was in the bedroom of Caroline Colman at Clyffe house, purchased from the estate sale by their daughter Helen Caroline Colman in 1917.
