  • TABLE DESK. Walnut, covered with gilt and painted leather, with several drawers and divisions. Decorated with the Royal Arms and the heraldic badges of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon (The Portcullis, the Todir Rose, the impaled rose and pomegranate, the Fleur-de-Lys, the Castle and Sheaf of Arrows.) The figures of Mars and Venus after Woodcuts by Hans Burgkmair (about 1510). English; about 1525. Desks of this type were among the foreign novelties introduced to Britain under the early Tudors. The shagreen-covered outer cover and meral mounts are of later date. [1968] DESK ENGLISH; about 1520 Oak and walnut, covered in leather with gilt and painted decoration. The shagreen outer cover and gilt brass mounts probably added in about 1700. This desk is a unique survival of royal luxury furniture with early Renaissance ornament. It is painted with the Tudor royal arms and with badges and personal devices of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. An inscription on the inner lid asks God to grant Henry victory over his enemies. The arms are flanked by figures of Mars and Venus derived from woodcuts of the Planets by Hans Burgkmair (1473 - 1531). The painting is likely to have been executed by one of the Flemish craftsmen employed by the court. Bought with the funds of the Murray Bequest. [pre October 2000] This box has many trays and compartments for writing implements. Several such boxes were recorded at Greenwich Palace when Henry VIII died in 1547. The royal arms and badges of Henry and Katherine of Aragon appear among figures and motifs based on Continental designs. The figures of the Roman gods, Mars and Venus were based on woodcuts by the German artist, Hans Burgkmair I ( 1473-1531), published in 1510. [] (en)
