£5,000-£7,000
Penwork is a form of decoration on furniture and small items such as boxes and tea caddies, usually in reserves, carried out with fine pens or brushes in black watercolour or ink on a pale surface; colour was occasionally used. Among early terms for the technique were 'voiding', 'pen painting' or 'imitation ivory inlaying'. Sycamore, pale and close-grained, was the most usual timber, and the work was invariably protected with varnish. This has often mellowed with age, giving a black and yellow effect rather than the originally intended black and white.
While some penwork was professionally generated, particularly among the products of the early nineteenth century Tunbridge industry, most examples appear to have been the work of ladies of leisure. Most of these date from between 1815 and 1850, and standards of technique vary widely.
Penwork designs fall most often into one of three categories: neoclassical, chinoiserie or floral, and these themes frequently appear in combination. See N.Riley, Neo-Classical Designs in Penwork, Furniture History 2001, p.51-66.

French influence dominated the Regency period and was popularised by Percier and Fontaine's Recueil des Decorations Interieures (1812) which showed the grandeur of the Imperial palaces. The same year Rudolf Ackerman showed in colour French style furniture in four numbers of his magazine. It was an Empire style that matched the mood, which followed the abdication of Napoleon and the restoration of Louis XVIII and caught on in England attracting the attention of the Prince Regent. In particular the work of A.C Boulle was popularised in London by Louis Le Gaigneur who opened up a 'buhl' manufactory off Edgeware Road. The Prince Regency patronised both Le Gaigneur and Oakley.
George Oakley (c.1765-1841) is listed at 22 Southside of St Paul's Churchyard when he issued his trade card in 1786 moving to no.35 in 1798 and then in various partnerships with Henry Kettle, Thomas Shackleton and John Evans until his death in 1841. His commissions for Papworth Hall and several items in the Royal Collection are among the few identified pieces (see See In C. Gilbert, The Dictionary of English Furniture Makers 1700-1840). His reputation for supplying fashionable 'buhl' furniture was well known, as was his high standard of craftsmanship. He developed a reputation as one of the most original designers of the period and had a fashionable clientele visiting his Bond Street showroom. He received a Royal Warrant in 1799 after a visit from Queen Charlotte. It was noted in the Morning Chronicle of May 1799 '…her MAJESTY, the Duke and Duchess of YORK, and the PRINCESSES…highly approved of the splendid variety which has justly attracted the notice of the fashionable world'. In 1801 the London correspondent on the Journal de Luxus und der Moden (Weimar) wrote 'all people with taste buy their furniture at Oakleys, the most tasteful of the London cabinetmakers' See M.Jourdain and R.Edwards, Georgian Cabinet Makers, London 1944, p.74.
