A late 17th century walnut, fruitwood and oyster veneered chest on standWith two short drawers above three long graduating drawers on turned ash barley twist supports, the stand later, the ovals to the sides possibly re-veneered, 119cm wide x 67.5cm deep x 128cm high, (46 1/2in wide x 26 1/2in deep x 50in high)FootnotesIt is possible that many of the late 17th century items in the sale were purchases and commissions for Thomas, first Earl Coningsby at Hampton Court Castle. In the 1690s, Coningsby remodelled Hampton Court at the same time that King William and Queen Mary were building the new wing, designed by Wren, at Hampton Court Palace. The changes turned Coningsby's inward-looking, defensible medieval manor house into a regional palace, looking out over its estate, with far-reaching views. Suites of rooms enfilade along the south front included one for the King (in red silk damask) and another for the Queen (in blue) including elaborate beds possibly by the King's maker Daniel Marot Coningsby's King's bed is today on display at William and Mary's palace Het Loo, in the Netherlands; one of the chairs made for the same room is today, appropriately, in the King's apartments at Hampton Court Palace.
