It is inscribed 'Mrs Barrows/Oak Book Commode/Pubd. Augt 1816'. Bullock's dates are uncertain; his birth date may be 1782/3. George Bullock was one of the most enterprising and original English furniture-makers of the early nineteenth century. Initially a wax modeller and sculptor, he went into business as a furnisher and marble-cutter in Liverpool in 1804, and moved to London in 1812. His success there was ensured by the superb quality of his work, which was strongly influenced by the French Empire style. The cabinet was made for the 4th Duke of Atholl (1755-1830) and is described in Bullock's account dated 12th July 1817 as 'A Cabinet with Drawers of Larchwood the panels of Doors of Brass and ebony two columns enriched with Brass ornaments and Brass wreath moulding round the Top £45./ A slab of Glen Tilt marble at Top 6.2 @ 12/- 3.14. The price of the marble refers to the rough slab not the finished top. Its design and the materials used are closely related to two larger cabinets commissioned by the Duke, probably for Dunkeld, which were delivered in 1818, and survive at Blair Castle, Perthshire. The cabinets illustrate prominent traits of Bullock’s style. Their rectangular forms have a strong sense of projection and recession. Smooth surfaces of dark and light woods are counterbalanced by the textured effect of coloured marble and the opulent but unostentatious glow of the mounts and brass inlay or boulle-work (a technique perfected by André Charles Boulle (1642-1732) ébeniste to Louis XIV). reference term-107437 adlib-term-107437 96f4b0d1-fc11-39ff-ae91-1b23d888d479 George III reference term-106498 adlib-term-106498 272179a1-524b-3f36-aab7-bf342ce484d6 19th Century, Early reference term-106216 adlib-term-106216 825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0 literal England England country possibly London London Depth cm 46 Height cm 87.2 Width cm 120.4 reference media-67795 adlib-media-67795 27f7faff-467c-3dfc-8b7e-787cab96d855 jpeg aa/aa19/M_16_1980_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 607 width pixels 760 1616245943128 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_M_16_1980_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 399 width pixels 500 1616245943128 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/M_16_1980_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 607 width pixels 760 1616245943128 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_M_16_1980_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 200 width pixels 250 1616245943128 1 image 0 media image reference media-67796 adlib-media-67796 3247acfe-b423-3406-bfb5-889cd20405c3 jpeg aa/aa19/M_16_1980_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 624 width pixels 760 1616247883996 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_M_16_1980_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 411 width pixels 500 1616247883996 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/M_16_1980_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 624 width pixels 760 1616247883996 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_M_16_1980_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 205 width pixels 250 1616247883996 1 image 1 media image reference media-67797 adlib-media-67797 9ab49ce9-8a9c-3d4d-9c42-29c44b5a16c9 jpeg aa/aa19/M_16_1980_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 594 width pixels 760 1616268488431 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_M_16_1980_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 391 width pixels 500 1616268488431 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/M_16_1980_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 594 width pixels 760 1616268488431 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_M_16_1980_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 195 width pixels 249 1616268488431 1 image 2 media image reference media-67798 adlib-media-67798 e09a2c46-f84f-3532-8f37-02ee13250f61 jpeg aa/aa19/M_16_1980_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 530 1616282037199 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_M_16_1980_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 717 width pixels 500 1616282037199 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/M_16_1980_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 530 1616282037199 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_M_16_1980_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 358 width pixels 250 1616282037199 1 image 3 media image reference media-1567300638 portfolio portfolio-media-1567300638 1f9607e1-7e68-355f-940d-35f681b4e496 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/603/858/large_M_16_1980.jpg 1 height pixels 683 width pixels 1024 1543396634000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/603/858/mid_M_16_1980.jpg 1 height pixels 333 width pixels 500 1543396634000 1 image M.16-1980.JPG 1543396634000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/603/858/preview_M_16_1980.jpg 1 height pixels 167 width pixels 250 1543396634000 1 image 4 media image reference media-174758311 portfolio portfolio-media-174758311 5ebc95a3-1b4e-32ed-9c01-67465348da5a jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/689/47/large_M_16_1980_T_2098_mas_legacy.jpg 1 height pixels 818 width pixels 1023 1579534967000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/689/47/mid_M_16_1980_T_2098_mas_legacy.jpg 1 height pixels 400 width pixels 500 1579534967000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/689/47/M_16_1980_T_2098_mas_legacy.jpg 1 height pixels 2158 width pixels 2700 1579534967000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/689/47/preview_M_16_1980_T_2098_mas_legacy.jpg 1 height pixels 200 width pixels 250 1579534967000 1 image 5 media image reference term-115941 adlib-term-115941 f528965f-e73a-3515-b474-af94667777cb side cabinet history note The 4th Duke of Atholl; perhaps his widow as Mrs. Bagshawe, near Stafford; Mrs. C.
