*Cherry Medal, 1900-1904, in silvered bronze, with silver top bar and reverse brooch pin, and additional silver bar, unnamed as issued, attractively toned, good extremely fine, lustrous and scarce  As explained in the article ‘The Cherry Medal’ by Margaret Aldred (which uses this medal offered here as its illustration), this medal has a curious history and background as an ‘in joke’. The story begins with the man after whom the medal is named – Captain George Henry Cherry, R.N.. Having joined the Royal Navy at the age of just 14, he was raised in the ‘hard days of sail when the discipline was iron, and had to be’. As a result, he was well-known for his discipline, pedantry, and blind adherence to naval regulations.  With the commissioning of H.M.S. Argonaut in 1900, Captain Cherry was placed in command for service on the China Station between August 1900 and January 1904, where the Argonaut acted only as a Guard ship (thus depriving the officers and crew of any chance of prize money). The returning officers, regaling their family and wives of their boredom, frustration and hardships during a tea party at Plymouth, were told that they really did ‘deserve a medal’ for putting up with serving under an martinet for nearly four years. In that moment, the Cherry Medal’ was born, and while it initially was only going to be awarded to the 5 officers who had served for the duration of the voyage, such was the demand that it was later decided that even those who had served for 6 months deserved a medal nonetheless. To that end, 100 such medals were designed and commissioned through the firm Gamages at a cost of 11s 6d each. It is argued that the additional bar reflects either a full year of service or one instance of ‘logging’ as noted in Aldred’s article (perhaps a typo for flogging?), but this is not formally recorded. Even those who had not served under Cherry on the Argonaut, but had served under him later were keen to obtain their own example of the medal when they heard about it (including Admiral Lord Fisher).  For a time the medal, the joke, and Captain Cherry, the man, became legendary in Naval circles, and even the King, George VI accepted a medal for his own collection. Coming full circle, an example was finally offered to Captain Cherry after WWI, when he, at last breaking with regulations, accepted this unofficial medal.

A Louis XVI marquetry inlaid bonheur du jour in the manner of J H Riesener, inlaid on all panels in a repeated latticework pattern with ormolu and gilt brass border mounts, a raised galleried back, tambour shuttered letter compartments, a concealed drawer with further drawers and inkwells, an undertier, on tapering square legs and ormolu feet 98 x 112 x 52cm (38 x 44 x 20in) Literature: Pradere (A) French Furniture Makers, The Art of the Ebeniste from Louis XIV to the Revolution, p.381, fig.462 Other Notes: Born in Germany in 1734, Jean Henri Riesener moved to Paris as an apprentice cabinet maker. He remained in Paris and married the widow of the furniture designer, Oeben, and took over his workshop - thus giving him access to the guilds. At the age of 40, he became the "ébéniste du roi" to King Louis XVI, and the favoured cabinet maker of Marie Antoinette. His furniture for Versailles Palace with mahogany veneers, floral marquetry and sculptural gilt-bronze mounts exemplified the neoclassical designs of the Louis XVI era. Some of his pieces include hidden compartments unlocked by ingenious mechanisms. One if his commodes from 1774 for Versailles was bought by George IV and is now part of the Royal Collection at Windsor. During the revolution, Riesener was retained by the Republic and in 1794, was required to remove the 'insignia of feudality" from his pieces - altering designs such as the Fleur de Lys with simple panels. Riesener was certain the monarchy would be re-established and spent much of his fortune buying his own works, only to find he was unable to sell them as they went out of fashion. He died in relative poverty in 1806. Much of his furniture was bought by the English during the sales of the Revolution. England became one of the great repositories of Riesener's work outside Paris and his work can be found in the Royal Collection, Waddesdon Manor and Woburn Abbey. Some very small veneer losses and slightly sprung gilt mounts to the base
