IP 12 see also NIF 33C, GO 80, BB 12 and PUGIN 10 A.W.N Pugin attributed to, for the 1st Earl of Lovelace, who was raised to that peerage in Queen Victoria's Assession Honours list of 1838. In 1835 he married Ada Byron, only daughter of the celebrated poet Lord Byron. She was an important figure, a mathematician and writer, who is known for her work on Charles Babbage's early mechanical computer and is often regarded as the first computer programmer. The 1st Earl of Lovelace acquired Horsley Towers in Surrey, built by Sir Charles Barry who collaborated with Pugin on the Houses of Parliament. Lovelace set about expanding it in the Gothic style in the 1840s. This desk probably traces its roots back to this agrandisment. Height 31" , Width 60" , Depth 34". £POA.

The lock plates with square cut-out details are also common in much of Mackintosh's furniture and interiors and would particularly point to him. This bookcase was also purchased in Glasgow in 2009. The pattern of the bullions are asymmetrical and flow through the doors. In the top two central panes, the glass is longer to fulfil the design. £POA. More >>> IP 14 THOMAS JECKYLL 1827 - 1881.
