Lot Description Price Image
*** An Exquisite Anton Seuffert Parquetry Floral Pattern Card Table. This table represents one of the more complex and free flowing of the Seuffert 'standard patterns', the Fern and Clematis design, similar to a table presented to Countess Aberdeen in 1887, this top is likely to comprise 5,824 pieces of timber, each one laid with such precision that the pattern flows effortlessly. The practice of inlaying marquetry into detailed parquetry background patterns is an endearing feature of this top.… ***
*** A Superb Anton Seuffert Card Table of Nz timbers. This card table from Anton Seuffert's workshop is a very fine, complete example with original base of this type by Nz premier colonial cabinetmaker. Card tables were a Seuffert speciality and his 1875 raffle advertisement in the Auckland Herald valued card tables of this design at 10 pounds. Fifteen years later inflation raised the price to 11 pounds.… ***
*** A New Zealand Timbers Card Table by Anton Seuffert This card table from Anton Seuffert's workshop is a fine example of the type by NZ's premier colonial cabinetmaker. Card tables were a Seuffert speciality and his 1875 advertisements in the Auckland Herald quoted these tables at 10 pounds. Fifteen years later inflation raised the price to 11 pounds. While too small for card games, Seuffert probably named them for their use as business or postal cards depositories.… ***
*** An Height B. Dobbie Nz Native Timber Fern Specimen Cabinet made in Whangarei c.1880. This very important historical cabinet was constructed and carved by Height B. Dobbie (b.1852 England, arrived in Nz after 1875 and died 1940). Herbert Dobbie was an engineer, traveller, writer, botanist & expert wood carver. He travelled extensively on his penny farthing bicycle and on foot collecting ferns as he went in order to collate the first book on New Zealand ferns in 1880.… ***

*** A Beautiful Arts and Crafts Period Card Table by William Seuffert (1858-1943). This table is a unique piece and appears to be one of William Seuffert's later creations. It incorporates patterns used in earlier work by both William and his father, Anton. The simplification of the overall table design and squaring of the circular edging indicate a conscious development towards the modernisation of the table genre.… ***
*** A Top Quality George I Walnut Kneehole Desk with brushing slide (dressing kneehole). An unusual and rare feature is that the centre cupboard can be pulled forward to come flush with the drawers. The top edges have no "overhang", it has a flush or "caddy top" which makes the piece of furniture appear smaller. Drawers are lined in oak, the top is quartered with herringbone inlay around the drawers. Good rich dark honey colour richness overall. H.… ***
*** A Superb Anton Seuffert Card Table of New Zealand native timber with original label underneath and original Seuffert/Teutenberg base. Card tables were a Seuffert speciality and his 1875 raffle advertisement in the Auckland Herald valued card tables of this design at 10 pounds. Fifteen years later inflation raised the price to 11 pounds. The tables were too small for card games, so were properly named by Seuffert for their use as business or postal card depositories.… ***
*** A Superb Anton Seuffert Card Table of Nz Native Timber with original label underneath. The base was probably added in England as most of the tops were manufactured here and sent to England without a base to save on shipping costs. Card tables were a Seuffert speciality and his 1875 raffle advertisement in the Auckland Herald valued card tables of this design at 10 pounds. Fifteen years later inflation raised the price to 11 pounds.… ***
