这些灵感来自十九世纪早期Thomas Weeks（逝世于1834年）的作品，他在约1797年在Tichbourne Street建立了一家“皇家机械博物馆”或商店。这些吸引人的展品包括各种动态动物和昆虫、巧妙的钟表、乐器、精致的寺庙、玩具和其他吸引伦敦公众的18世纪末和19世纪初的奇特物品（参见C. Gilbert, ‘Some Weeks cabinets reconsidered’, The Connoisseur, May 1971, p. 15）。一对类似的卧姿灰狗曾从Robert Hatfield Ellsworth收藏品中售出；2015年3月21日，纽约佳士得拍卖，拍品编号1225（成交价7,500美元，含佣金）。

CHIEVELEY HOUSE，伯克郡：尼古拉斯斯坦利夫妇的财产（1 – 99号拍品）如果有人被要求描述完美的英国庄园，我相信他们会想象出一个几乎与奇夫利庄园一模一样的房子，它是一座完美比例的安妮女王式房屋，用柔软的红砖建造，在村子里被一堵墙挡着，温和、安详，宁静、优雅的尊严。在其三百年的历史中——一个排水头上刻着1716年——它见证了许多主人，从最初的家庭“一个绅士，他的四个孩子和六个仆人”到20世纪20年代在那里长大的三个美丽的温德姆-昆恩姐妹，但在过去的十年里，奇夫利的主人尼古拉斯和埃洛迪斯坦利夫妇是特别幸运的，他们致力于为家人和朋友打造一个神奇而迷人的家。他们具有出色的技能，能够将舒适和优雅、趣味和魅力相结合，所有这些似乎毫不费力地表达出来——这些房间绝对是你想坐在里面的房间！与约翰·麦考尔合作，奇夫利是他们共同创造的第三个房屋，因此有了完全的理解，老朋友们重新演绎，新的想法尝试，画作和家具的收藏找到了新的位置。一些有趣的作品继承自爱尔兰科克附近的家庭住所，这些作品多年来不断增加，一直以来都保持着敏锐的眼光，并遵循着兴趣的模式（见拍品11、41、52和54）。因此，英中家具成为了特别的热情所在，并且一组杰出的稀有家具被组合起来，主要是从斯宾克斯或杰里米那里获得的，用丰富而异国情调的木材制成，如紫檀木和红木（见拍品74-81）。威尼斯在他们的感情中有着特殊的位置，所以那是一个主题，建筑书籍是另一个主题，与之相关的是建筑模型。所有这些线索都被编织在一起，创造出风格和舒适的典范，这些书籍被书籍装饰的双层高图书馆，以前是1883年与房屋合并的谷仓，还有一个拥有五个窗户的客厅，俯瞰着花园的壮观景色，在七年内与阿恩·梅纳德的帮助和建议下创建，其中包括一系列“房间”和由弗朗西斯·约翰逊设计的中国八角亭。当这些艺术品启程时，它们会带走奇夫利的一些愉快时光，那里充满了温暖的宁静氛围，微妙而智慧的舒适和极佳的品味。

查尔斯·卡特（Charles Cator），佳士得国际副主席，2020年2月。在三十年的时间里为同一位客户打造了三座出色的房子，有些人可能会觉得令人惊讶。但我一点也不觉得。我怀念着这三个家庭的方案和计划是如何轻松地一起形成的，依靠着客户收集或最近继承的家具、图片和物品。我们都说着同样的审美语言。“让我们在餐厅里使用所有的蓝色和白色。”“墙上放一幅大挂毯怎么样？”“也许楼梯上可以放些威尼斯地图。”我们都知道彼此在说什么。这节省了很多时间，并增加了我们在伦敦诺丁山的第一个项目，斯坦利街的成功。然而，如果一件作品不起作用，我清楚地记得我的客户有时会干脆地评论：“我认为我们可以做得更好。”所以，我们就会开始寻找更有趣的东西来填补特定的空白。同样的方法在我们接下来的两个项目上同样有效，一个是在巴斯的马戏团一个珍宝般的房子，另一个是在距离伦敦仅一个小时车程的柴利豪斯的一座优雅的女王安妮时代的房子。从某种意义上说，我会感到有些难过看到老“朋友”被卖掉，但我知道已经在计划另一栋具有不同情感和感觉的房子，所以我们又将开始寻找更多的珍宝。约翰·麦考尔室内设计师 2020年2月

These whippets are resonant of the early nineteenth-century work of Thomas Weeks (d. 1834) who established a ‘Royal Mechanical Museum’ or emporium in Tichbourne Street in about 1797. The attractions included various animated animals and insects, ingenious clocks, musical instruments, elaborate temples, toys and other such peculiarities that appealed to the London public in the late 18th and early 19th Century (C. Gilbert, ‘Some Weeks cabinets reconsidered’, The Connoisseur, May 1971, p. 15). A similar pair of recumbant greyhounds was sold from the Collection of Robert Hatfield Ellsworth; Christie’s, New York, 21 March 2015, lot 1225 ($7,500, including premium).

CHIEVELEY HOUSE, BERKSHIRE: THE PROPERTY OF MR. AND MRS. NICHOLAS STANLEY (LOTS 1 – 99) If anyone was asked to describe the perfect English manor house I am sure they would conjure up a house that looks almost exactly like Chieveley House, a perfectly proportioned Queen Anne house of soft red brick, set back in the village behind a wall, gentle, content and peaceful in its quiet, elegant dignity. In its three hundred year history – a rainwater header is dated 1716 – it has seen many owners, from its original household ‘of a gentleman, his four children and six servants’ to the three beautiful Wyndham-Quin sisters who were brought up there in the 1920s, but Chieveley has been particularly fortunate in its owners in the last decade, Nicholas and Elodie Stanley, who have devoted their considerable taste and energy to creating a magical and charming home for their family and friends. They have a brilliant skill at combining comfort and elegance, interest and charm, all articulated with apparently efortless ease – these are rooms you definitely want to sit in! Working with John McCall Chieveley was the third house they had created together, so there was complete understanding, old established favourites were reinterpreted, new ideas tried and the collections of paintings and furniture found new positions. Some interesting pieces had been inherited from a family home in Ireland, near Cork, and these had been added to over the years, always with a keen eye and following patterns of interest (Lots 11, 41, 52 & 54). So Anglo-Chinese furniture became a particular enthusiasm, and a remarkable group of this rare furniture was assembled, acquired mainly from Spinks or Jeremy, executed in rich and exotic timbers, padouk and rosewood (Lots 74–81). Venice has a very special place in their affections, so that is a leitmotif, architectural books are another, and linked to them architectural models. All these threads were woven together to create rooms that were the epitome of style and comfort, the book-lined double-height library in the former barn that was joined to the house in 1883, and the drawing room with fve windows looking out onto the spectacular garden created over seven years with the help and advice of Arne Maynard, with a series of ‘rooms’ and a Chinese octagonal pavilion designed by Francis Johnson. As these works of art go on their journey they will take something of their happy sojourn at Chieveley, with its atmosphere of warm serenity, subtle and intelligent comfort and great taste.

Charles Cator Deputy Chairman, Christie’s International February 2020 To have worked as Interior Designer on three superb houses for the same client over a thirty year period, some find remarkable. I don’t in the least. I remember fondly the ease with which schemes and plans for these three homes came together, relying on a good collection of furniture, pictures and objects that my clients had collected or recently inherited. It helped that we all spoke the same aesthetic language. “Let’s use all the blue and white in the Dining room”. “How about a big tapestry along that wall ?”. “Perhaps Venetian maps up the stairs”. We all knew what each other was talking about. This saved a lot of time and added to the success of Stanley Crescent, our first project together, in London’s Notting Hill. However, if a piece didn’t work, I clearly remember my client dryly commenting on occasion “I think we can do better”. So, the hunt would be on for something more interesting to fill a particular gap. This same approach worked equally well on our next two projects, a gem of a house in the Circus in Bath and a fine Queen Anne house at Chieveley, just an hour from London. I will in some ways be sad to see old ‘friends’ sold but I know there is another house already being planned with a different mood and feel, so the hunt will be on again for some more treasures. John McCall Interior Designer February 2020
