Very Fine and Extremely Rare George III Period Pontypool Japan (Tole) Wall Cistern

18th century
Description

Fine and rare George III period Pontypool Japan (tole) wall cistern;  the reservoir finely decorated with gilded chinoiserie vignettes on a black ground and with its original tinned interior and brass tap;  the pagoda-shaped detachable cover is similarly decorated and surmounted by a pierced gallery and a central gilded finial. Circa 1795

This cistern is either the work of Thomas, James or John Allgood who took over the business founded by their father in the 1730s and worked separately from workshops in Pontypool and Usk.  Their work was considered to be of exceptional quality and superior to that of their contemporaries in Wolverhampton, Birmingham and the midlands.  [Ref:  'Skill of the Pontypool Japanners' by G. Bernard Hughes, 'Country Life Annual', December 1968 and the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff]

John Beazor Antiques is a family firm, established in 1875 and based in Cambridge since 1940. We are a traditional antiques shop, but very much in the 21st century. We deal in 18th and early 19th century furniture, barometers and clocks. We choose our stock for its originality and for the quality of its colour, patination and design.

We are members of the BADA. We do not exhibit at fairs preferring to deal from our Cambridge shop where we hold Open Weekends from time to time.
