THE ART MARKET WEEKLY

A number of UK auction houses have stopped taking bids from buyers in Russia in response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

A small but growing group of regional salerooms contacted ATG to say they had implemented a ban to show their support for Ukraine.

With further sanctions being applied on Russian individuals and banks, including some being removed from the Swift clearing system, it is expected more firms will follow suit as it becomes increasingly difficult to take Continued on page 4

Art Market: Rising names in the affordable Modern & Contemporary field – page 28-29

Specialist oak auction house Wilkinson’s in Doncaster sold the contents of Twyssenden Manor, a Tudor house in 258 acres of land near Goudhurst in Kent, on February 27.

The property had spent much of the 20th century as a youth hostel but was purchased by the late owner – “a successful businessman who, in the late 1990s, decided to abandon his City career in favour of a quieter life in the country” – and fully restored and furnished in period style.

As an estate sale (the house was sold last year), little was known about the earlier provenance of these pieces. However, the owner had clearly been advised by a very capable eye. Auctioneer Sid Wilkinson said that

across the entire collection, only a very small percentage of pieces were deemed ‘wrong’.

It made for some spectacular prices. The highest bid came for this early 17th century English carved and inlaid oak court cupboard or buffet. Of good colour and patina, a highly developed decorative scheme included bands of dog-tooth parquetry, carved figural pilasters and Green Man face masks to both the strapwork and the ‘cup and cover’ side posts. It measures 4ft 1in (1.25m) high x 4ft 7in (1.35m) wide.

Estimated at £6000-8000, it took £88,000 from a UK private bidder, a price of just under £110,000 when 20% buyer’s premium was added.

In a statement, the Society of Fine Art Auctioneers and Valuers (SOFAA) said it “is in contact with its members about the situation in Ukraine and circulated an email recently giving details of how to ban buyers in Russia online”.

Chairman Helen Carless said it was a matter of choice and some auction houses had opted not to penalise individual bidders in this way: “What the society will not be doing is instructing its members on what they should do. That will be a decision to be taken by the individual member.”

‘We are closely following the developments around sanctions’

Open Art Fair organiser plans for returnby Frances Allitt

London series topped by £51.5m record for Magritte

Continued from front page

The organiser of The Open Art Fair (TOAF) in Chelsea vows the event will return next year.

The event, which effectively replaced the BADA Fair at Duke of York Square, has not taken place since its abortive showing in March 2020.

But the Duke of York Square has now been booked for a date after Easter next year and in the meantime the organiser is also in talks to stage another commercial event at some point later this year.

TOAF had been tainted by the inaugural event held in the turbulent week preceding the first lockdown. Around a

quarter of the dealers who had booked stands chose not to attend, vetting was scrapped, attendance was low and the fair scheduled to run for more than a week closed on the afternoon of March 19.

Since then, organiser BADA Ltd has faced several legal battles with exhibitors over the payment of stand fees.

A judge had previously ruled that as the seven-day event had closed after two days, dealers Peter Cameron and Linda Jackson were only liable for two-sevenths of their bill. They were awarded a refund and costs.

However, dealer and organiser Thomas Woodham Smith, who co-owns the fair

with stand builder Harry Van der Hoorn and the British Antique Dealers’ Association, says that the legal cases that followed have all been settled.

Speaking to ATG, he said: “I can’t get away from the fact that I have a certain amount of bad feeling over the fact we had to charge people over the stands. I’m not going to try and pretend it’s not the case.

“We would all have liked to just have returned everybody’s money, but it just wasn’t possible. But of the 100 or so dealers we had [exhibiting], 80 or so would still like to have a fair.”

Recent surveys by LAPADA and BADA suggest there is an appetite among members for a

London showpiece fair. In past years, dealers who wanted to sell good-quality stock at a large fair in London without Masterpiece or Frieze stand prices had several options.

This year they are much more limited (Art & Antiques Olympia runs this year for five days from June 22-26).

LAPADA announced last month (ATG No 2532) that rising prices made holding an affordable fair in London almost impossible. Under the terms of the sale to TOAF, BADA is restricted from holding a directly competing event within the M25.

Aware of these calls for a high-quality London event, Woodham Smith now hopes to draw on the support of the

trade bodies to create a fair of around 150 exhibitors to run in London at least once a year. To that end, he says, he and his fellow organisers are “actively looking” for ways to stage another event.

Like LAPADA, he has found that costs have risen dramatically. However, he hopes that a solution to the problem will come in the form of something similar to the Decorative Antiques and Textiles Fair in Battersea, with its large exhibitor base, long-running location and many supporters.

Woodham Smith adds: “I need to find a new model of giving people a chance to sell at a place where the top people will come and buy.”

The invasion of Ukraine has focused attention on Russian money in the art market.

Labour MP Chris Bryant tweeted: “Auction houses are likely to see some very valuable assets being traded by Putin supporters. They should refuse to handle them.”

ATG contacted four of the leading London salerooms that regularly deal with Russian clients and Russian art. While none said they were introducing a ban on bidders, those that replied emphasised they would be complying with sanctions.

Christie’s said that a “small number” of Russian clients bidding at its 20th/21st century art auction in London last week had been cleared through its “stringent client identification and screening process, in full

compliance with regulations”. The auction house added it had postponed the sale of the Paul Destribats collection of books (mainly Russian avant-garde books) due to take place in Paris later this month.

Sotheby’s said: “We are closely fol low i ng the developments around sanctions lists and will comply with any regulations put in place.” Asked if Russian art sales scheduled for London in June would go ahead as plan ned, a spokesperson said: “It is still early days… We are looking at the evolving situation.”

It is not known how many of the 10 0 -plus Russian individuals and entities that have been targeted by UK sanctions are active in the art market but at least a few are major spenders.

One who appears on the EU

sanctions list is Pyotr Aven, the head of Alfa Bank Group, who has amassed an important collection of Russian pictures as well as Modern British and European art. While he pledged to contest the sanctions, he stepped down as a Royal Academy trustee last week.

Auction house Phillips, owned by Russia’s luxury goods

conglomerate Mercury Group since 2008, announced that it would donate all of its buyer’s and vendor’s premium from its 20th century & contemporary art evening sale on March 3 to the Ukrainian Red Cross Society. Its CEO Stephen Brooks said on Twitter: “We at Ph i l l ips unequivoca l ly condemn the invasion of

Ukraine. Along with the rest of the art world, we have been shocked and saddened by the tragic events unfolding.”

D e a l e r a s s o c i a t i o n LAPADA is contacting members about its next Anti-Money Laundering training session, which will have particular reference to the deepening sanctions around Russia.

Museums and galleries have also been reviewing their positions. The current V&A exhibition, due to run until May 8, Fabergé in London: Romance to Revolution is understood to have a number of pieces on loan from Russian collectors.

The museum said: “The V&A remains in contact with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport on the evolving situation in the Ukraine.”

A Surrealist painting by René Magritte (1898-1967) led the latest round of Modern and Contemporary art sales in London.

L’empire des lumières, left, was one of a series of 17 paintings showing silhouetted buildings overlaid on different skies. This 3ft 9in x 4ft 10in (1.15 x 1.46m) oil from 1961 came to Sotheby’s on March 2 from the collection of Anne-Marie Gillion Crowet, a close family friend of the artist (her father

Pierre had been a patron and Magritte painted her portrait in 1956).

The lot was guaranteed by the auction house, reportedly at over £40m. Drawing three phone bidders, it was knocked down at £51.5m (£59.4m with premium), a record for the artist. It was the second-highest price for a work of art sold in Europe, behind the Giacometti bronze L’homme qui marche I that made £58m in the same rooms in 2010.

The Magritte provided a significant boost to the 54-lot auction which generated £191.2m including premium.

Christie’s 20th/21st century sale the night before raised £182.7m from 55 lots and was led by Franz Marc’s (1880-1916) Cubist painting Foxes from 1913. It took £37m. A late Francis Bacon triptych from 1986-7, subject to a third-party guarantee, sold on low estimate at £35m.

Dealer ‘ecstatic’ as Hampton Court welcomes ‘missing’ Boleyn falcon

News

Reid Dick stars in Curated debutA collection of works from the family of the sculptor Sir William Reid Dick (1879-1961)comes for sale at a new London firm this month. Curated Auctions, based in Eltham, is run by former Bonhams and Chiswick Auctions specialist Rachael Osborn-Howard.

This group of 27 lots – finished sculptures, maquettes, paintings and photographs –comes direct from Reid Dick’s grandchildren. A 14½in (36cm) high bronze reduction of Reid Dick’s most famous work, Sling Boy, first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1911, is guided at £6000-8000.

Artist’s comeback“Reid Dick was arguably the most famous sculptor in Britain in the 1920s and 30s,” says Osborn-Howard.

“For many years his work fell out of favour, hidden in the

shadow of the great Modernist masters such as Henry Moore and Jacob Epstein, but his work and that of the New Sculpture movement in general, has enjoyed a revival in recent years.”

Osborn-Howard worked at

Bonhams until 2017 when she joined Chiswick Auctions to set up fine European works of art and sculpture sales. She left Chiswick last year.

She hopes now to “move away from the traditional idea of an auction house, with a

large saleroom and lots of staff, to having a small premises where we hold a limited number of sales”. The focus will be very much on digital marketing and objects that are “expertly researched and footnoted in the same way that a gallery or museum would catalogue its works”.

The March 16 sale titled The Classics: Including Fine Sculpture also includes a group of works by fellow Scottish sculptor Sir Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) that come from artist Cathy Ward.

She was tutored by Paolozzi at the Royal College of Art, London from 1986-88 and subsequently worked in his studio. Ward was given this collection of 23 works – including a rare collage triptych – as payment for the casts that she made for him.

A Nelson portrait from Boydell’s 500-guinea prizeA large-scale painting of the Battle of Trafalgar containing “one of the most important portraits of Nelson on the market in years” is on offer at the Chelsea Antiques and Fine Art Fair.

The oil on canvas, 3ft 4in x 4ft (1.01 x 1.24m), by the US-born portraitist Mather Brown (1761-1831) was painted in London c.1805-07 for a 500-guinea art competition launched by printmaker and publisher Joseph Boydell. The hotly contested prize attracted entries from Benjamin West and Samuel Drummond and was eventually won by Arthur William Devis, whose painting is now in the National Maritime Museum collection.

According to dealer and Nelson specialist Martyn Downer, however, Brown’s picture comes top of the pile for its depiction of the British hero. While many similar scenes show the admiral dead or dying, this one captures him at the moment he is shot while his face is still animated.

“Apart from the drama and scale of the painting, it’s one of the most important portraits of Nelson to go on the market in years,” Downer says. “Brown moved in the same circles as Nelson and the picture shows an intimate knowledge of him.”

Although Nelson was widely portrayed in his lifetime, Downer believes there

is a freshness to the painting that will make it particularly satisfying to Nelson-enthusiasts today. Published just once in 1970, it was subsequently believed to have been lost.

“It now belongs to an eagle-eyed American collector who bought it uncatalogued during lockdown,” Downer says. He will offer it at the fair on the collector’s behalf.

Following the competition, Brown – who may have been disqualified as the prize was aimed at British painters – considered raffling the painting but ultimately sold it, probably to one of his sitters, John Bridge Aspinall, one-

time mayor of Liverpool. Though in a memoir Brown mentions the scene was subsequently engraved, no print has been found.

The painting is available for £350,000. Frances Allitt

A carved oak falcon depicting Anne Boleyn’s royal badge bought by a dealer for £75 is to go on display at Hampton Court Palace.

Dealer Paul Fitzsimmons of Marhamchurch Antiques in Buckfastleigh, Devon, had spotted the blackened wooden bird at an auction, also in Devon, in late 2018.

After purchase and further investigation, he believed the mount must be linked to Boleyn. He then offered it at Bonhams in September 2019 but after it failed to sell he had the item professionally cleaned and restored at a cost of £15,000 and chose to offer it on long-term loan to the palace (as reported in ATG No 2519).

Following research by curators at Historic

Royal Palaces (HRP), the falcon is now believed to have come from the Great Hall. HRP compared the falcon with the 43 surviving falcon badges decorating the ‘frieze’ above the windows and hammer beams in the hall and found it to have an “incredible likeness in both size and design”.

Sebastian Edwards, deputy chief curator at HRP, said: “While we won’t be able to say for certain whether the falcon was originally created for the Great Hall until the next time we erect a roof-height scaffold and compare it with those still in situ – which might not be for some years – our research lends great weight to the theory, particularly with there being one falcon

less than we’d expect in the surviving decorative scheme! Either way, this is an incredibly rare example of Tudor royal ornamentation, imbued with the legend of Henry’s most famous queen, which I hope will provide visitors with a taste of the magnificence of the palace during the Tudor period.”

Fitzsimmons said: “We are ecstatic that the falcon has returned to its rightful place, for everyone to enjoy its beauty while celebrating Anne Boleyn’s historical importance.”

The carved falcon badge is now on show at the palace, marking the 500th anniversary of Boleyn’s first encounter with Henry VIII. Laura Chesters

Ellis Willis & BeckettA revived auction house set up last year will hold its first country house sale this June.

Ellis Willis & Beckett was relaunched by two former staff members of Derbyshire firm Bamfords and held its first auction in September 2021.

Originally founded in 1870, it operated as a family business for more than a century but closed around five years ago. Then last year the owner of the family firm, Nick Todd, agreed for Simon Billing and Max Bettney’s new auction company to trade under the Ellis Willis & Beckett name with Todd as a consultant.

Based in Arundel Street in Sheffield, it now holds monthly auctions. The first two-day country house sale will be the contents of Hassop Hall, a 17th-century country house near Bakewell. The sale will be held at the hall.

Register antique ivory now says Defra ahead of ban

Symev welcomes auction reform

by Laura Chesters

French auction reform took another step forward last month with the crea-tion of a new regulatory body to oversee sales in France.

On February 22, the senate passed a law that will scrap the state-appointed Conseil des Ventes in favour of a new ‘watchdog’ made up chief ly of auctioneers.

Where previously the Conseil des Vente comprised 11 state-appointed members (most of them legal profes-sionals), the renamed Conseil des Maisons de Vente will be run by at least six auctioneers who are elected by their peers.

The auctioneers’ association Symev (Syndicate National des Maisons de Ventes Volontaires) welcomed the

change that – much delayed following the Covid crisis – could now come into practice before the end of the year. Jean-Pierre Osenat, president of Symev, said: “The world is changing, the system had to evolve, and the market needs help. Auctioneers are competent and trusting them [to police themselves] is very important.”

The scope of the new Conseil des Maisons de Vente will also be expanded beyond regulation and control to include a lobbying role. Tasked with supporting the French auction sector in the face of globalisation, it is hoped it will become “a real tool for consultation between the government and professionals”.

Roland Arkell

The digital registration service for exempted items containing ivory is now live and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is urging those wishing to sell items that qualify for one of these narrow exemptions to familiarise themselves with the new system.

Defra confirmed to ATG that there will be an “approximate four-month period from the opening of the registration and certification service [February 24], and the ban coming into force”.

This means the near-total ban on selling antique items containing ivory in the UK under the Ivory Act is expected to come in to force at some point in June.

Exemption certificatesDefra said: “We encourage dealers of ivory items to begin registering or certifying their exempted items as soon as possible so that they can become familiar with the process and register or acquire an exemption certificate for their items before the ban comes into force.”

Once the law is enforced it will be illegal to sell ivory works of art unless the item meets one of the five narrow exemptions and is registered or has an exemption certificate.

When an item is registered the applicant will get a reference number for it to be sold. When it has been certified an exemption certificate will be issued for the sale to be legal.

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) has the role of regulating the act and is responsible for checking registrations and applications.

The fee for registering will be £20 per

item or £50 for a group of objects (up to a maximum of 20 if they are being sold to the same buyer and meet the same exemption). For the group registrations there is a form available which can be obtained from APHA at:

[email protected]

However, applying to sell an antique (pre-1918) on the grounds it is of ‘outstandingly high artistic, cultural or historical value’ will be subject to a fee of £250, comprised of £20 for registration and £230 to cover the cost of expert advice provided by a committee of museum specialists.

Defra also reminded people that breaking the law could mean a maximum £250,000 fine or five years’ imprisonment.

Defra added: “We welcome your views and will be listening to your feedback as we seek to ensure these new regulations are fully understood and complied with.”

For the latest comment on the topic see Letters, page 59.

The five exemptions are:n Pre-1947 items containing less

than 10% ivory by volume.

n Pre-1975 musical instruments containing less than 20% ivory by volume.

n Pre-1918 portrait miniatures with a surface area of no more than 320 sq cm.

n Sales to, and hire agreements with, qualifying museums.

n Pre-1918 items with outstanding artistic, cultural or historical value.

News Digest

National Trust on trail of St Ambrose The National Trust is hoping to find a missing picture that was on display at Chastleton House in Oxfordshire.

It was one of a group of four (the other three remain) that have been in the Jacobean manor house since it was built between 1607-12. Depicting Catholic saints, they are thought to have been commissioned around the time of the Gunpowder Plot and would originally have been used as historical teaching devices.

The missing painting is of St Ambrose who was Bishop of Milan. The National Trust has found a magazine article in 1919 detailing the four paintings but since then it is not clear what happened to it. Ruth Peters, senior collections and

house officer at Chastleton, said: “We have an idea of what it would look like as the paintings are based on – but are not an exact copy of – a set of four Flemish engravings.

“The last members of the family to live at Chastleton before it came into the care of the National Trust have no memory of the fourth painting. It might have been sold or given away and so could be hanging on somebody’s wal l , unrecognised.”

Pickup promoted by SwordersSworders has promoted James Pickup to its board of directors, bringing the total number to five. He joined the business in 2015, running the fortnightly Homes & Interiors sales for three years before moving up

to take the reins of the Fine Interiors department. He has s i nce overseen the transformation of these quarterly sales, developing them into a curated, interior design-led operation. Pickup will maintain his position as head of fine interiors.

Found in a wardrobe during the clearance of a deceased estate in Spalding, ‘a group of four early 19th century French heraldic plaques’ sold way over hopes at Stamford Auction Rooms in Lincolnshire on February 26.

One can easily be forgiven for thinking these 9in (22cm) enamelled brass plates, each extensively inscribed and dated de VI jour de Juillet MDCCCXXI, were made across the Channel. However, the use of French here was a medieval throwback. They were made in 1821 as stall plates for recipients of the Knights Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath – the chivalric award that originated with the Plantagenets.

During their lifetime, all members of the order are entitled to display their heraldic crests and banners at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. However, garter stall plates stay in the chapel permanently and together provide a complete record of successive occupants of each stall (and a key reference for students of British heraldry).

‘liberated’ over the years and do occasionally come to market. Christie’s New York sold a group of eight similar plates in October 2010 for $19,000. With some stamped with the name of the specialist London copper plate maker George Harris of 31 Shoe Lane, they were similarly dated to 1815-22, the period in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars when the order was restructured to include those who had distinguished themselves in military service. Those knights living at the time of the reorganisation had automatically become Knights Grand Cross.

The four plaques offered in Stamford had, probably late in life, been mounted on a frame for use as a planter or wastepaper basket. It doubtless helped bidding that they had been made for genuine A-listers.

Three were European royalty. They were named: Prince Ernest Augustus (1771-1851), fifth son of George III and King of Hanover from 1837; Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge (1774-1850), George III’s seventh son; and Leopold Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (1790-1865), husband to Princess Charlotte of Wales and future King of Belgium. The one ‘commoner’ here was Sir David Ochterlony (1758-1825), the Massachusetts-born East Indian Company officer who held the post of British Resident to the Mughal Court at Delhi.

Bidding for the quartet started well above the £500-800 estimate following a flurry of activity on the internet. However, it was a phone bidder who won them at £10,000 (plus 20% buyer’s premium).

Macklowe second slice up for auctionSotheby’s New York is to offer the second tranche of The Macklowe Collection at an evening sale on May 16. The first tranche of the $600m 65-lot consignment was sold in a white-glove sale in November.

The collection comes from divorcees Harry and Linda Macklowe. Harry, 83, is a real estate developer. According to experts, the collection is the

most valuable to be offered at auction since the estate of David and Peggy Rockefeller that raised $835m at Christie’s in 2018.

The final Macklowe auction of 30 works includes a Alberto Giacometti sculpture Diego sur stèle II, 1958, estimated at $7m-10m. Other highlights include a Mark Rothko picture from 1960, a monumental seascape by Gerhard Richter and one of A ndy Warhol’s last self-portraits.

The Tinplate & Specialist Toy sale at Vectis (20.83% buyer’s premium inc VAT) in Stockton-on-Tees on February 17 included this large-scale tinplate clockwork vintage car by the Gebruder Bing factory of Nuremberg.

The 10in (25cm) ‘Bing Brake’ modelled on a De Dion features as number 7213 in the 1902 Bing catalogue.

As discussed in David Pressland’s The Art of the Tin Toy, it is powered by a substantial clockwork motor with automatic steering device fitted which enables the car to run in an irregular circle. This example was in excellent condition, in working order, retained its original white rubber tyres and red, cream, green and black paintwork and came with its original card box with a GBN trademark label to one end.

This model car is one of the rarest of the well-known Bing large-scale tinplate clockwork cars and the first example that toy specialist Vectis had offered for sale. It was among the items filmed during preparations for a forthcoming ‘fly-on-the-wall’ documentary about the auction house to air on the Yesterday channel.

Estimated at £8000-10,000, it sold at a cool £20,000 – but just try and find another one.

truthNuggets of

A locket that tells the story of the brief, and little known, Scottish gold rush of 1869 surfaces in Gloucestershire, as Roland Arkell reports

The Kildonan Gold Rush was a short-lived affair. A solitary nugget of gold weighing about 10

pennyweights was found in the River Helmsdale in 1818 and a ring made for the landowner, the 1st Duke of Sutherland (1758-1833).

However, it was the discovery of gold in the local burns half a century later by Robert Nelson Gilchrist, a native of Kildonan who had spent 17 years in the goldfields of Australia, that caused a brief explosion of interest. At a time when tales of striking it rich in California or New South Wales were strong in the memory, the possibility of panning for nuggets in the rivers of Scotland was a good news story. The Illustrated London News ran a substantial feature in May 1869.

More than 600 adventurers made their way to the Highlands in 1869, each of them paying George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, the 3rd Duke of Sutherland, £1 a month and a cut of the profits for the permission to pan a small claim.

Some were the crofters who had been evicted from Sutherland land during the Highland Clearances and forced to eke out a living fishing for herring.

Two temporary settlements were established: a makeshift shanty town on the edge of the Kildonan Burn that went by the name Baile an Or (Town of Gold), the other the Carn na Buth (Hill of the Tents) on the edge of the Suisgill Burn.

Small pickingsIn truth, alluvial deposits in Kildonan were relatively small. So too the seam of grains found in the bedrock. Before the year was out, the price of gold had fallen and the duke was receiving complaints from his tenant farmers and salmon fishermen about the local disruption.

He was also concerned that the deer-stalking season would be compromised and so refused to grant any more licences. Prospecting came to an abrupt end on December 31, 1869.

Jewellery made from Kildonan gold is rare indeed. The ring made for the Sutherlands in 1818

remains with the family, while a handful of other pieces reside in local museums.

Accordingly, there was huge interest in a Victorian gold locket fashioned with four small gold nuggets and inscribed Kildonan that came for sale at Chorley’s (27% buyer’s premium inc VAT) in Prinknash Abbey, Gloucestershire, on January 25.

A note with the lot read: Locket made of gold from the Duke of Sutherland’s Mine at Kildonan (near Dunrobin) Sutherlandshire. Given to Louisa Blanche Howard (Mrs Cecil Foljambe) July 1869 by Charlotte Duchess of Norfolk [1788-1870] who was daughter of the 1st Duke of Sutherland and Elizabeth Countess of Sutherland.

The provenance was verified by the consignor. It came for sale with an estimate of £600-800 from the family of the Earls of Liverpool and by descent from Louisa Blanche Howard (1842-71) who had married Cecil Foljambe, the 1st Earl in 1869. There was some institutional interest in this piece, but it sold to a Scottish private buyer well above hopes at £10,000. n

A Civilotti jewel to rival CastellaniThe Etruscan, Renaissance and Byzantine revival jewels made by the Civilotti family (Carlo, Antonio and Giuseppe) in Rome are less numerous and less well known than those of the Castellani dynasty.

But, at their best, they are no less spectacular. The firm – like Castellani, mentioned in many Victorian ‘Grand Tour’ handbooks of the Eternal City – was based from 1830 at the Strada del Corso and from 1857 at the Piazza di Spagna. Antonio (1798-1870) was the goldsmith, Carlo a shell engraver and Giuseppe a gem engraver and retailer.

Civilotti gold and micromosaic jewels are particularly fine and it seems likely that the firm was supplied by mosaicist Luigi Podio (1826-88) who also worked for Castellani.

The necklace offered by Lawrences (25% buyer’s premium) of Crewkerne on January 20 was out of the top drawer.

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston has a similar piece dated to c.1870 incorporating a central portrait of Julius Caesar and other mosaics symbolising Rome’s imperial past.

The Crewkerne example was hung with pendants decorated with the Lamb of God, the Dove, the Chi-Ro and other motifs from the early Christian church. It came for sale in its original fitted case with red velvet interior and label reading G. Civilotti, Piazza di Spagna, Rome.

Against a guide of £6000-8000, it made £20,000.

Only a handful of similar Byzantine-style gold and micromosaic pieces by Antonio Civilotti have appeared for sale in recent years, including a Lamb of God cross pendant (£2400 at Bonhams Knightsbridge in 2010) and a similar pendant and earrings set (€6500 at Christie’s Paris in December 2018).

JEWELLERY

SILVER



serving in the British Air Transport Auxiliary.Remarkably this watch, measuring a chunky

47mm, retains its original leather strap with a pin buckle. Accompanying it was a printed letter of thanks sent from Johnson’s family to her supporters commemorating the 1930 flight to Australia and Longines correspondence concerning its provenance.

Just two days earlier, a Longines Lindbergh Hour Angle Watch Ref: 3210 had been offered for sale at Kent auction house C&T (22% buyer’s premium).

The stainless-steel cased wristwatch, also measuring 47mm, has a white enamel dial with an outer minute track, an inner scale calibrated for 180 degrees and a centre silvered rotating disc calibrated for 60 seconds and 15 degrees. Longines records show the watch was originally invoiced on May 15, 1939, to W Maier & Co. Estimated at £8000-12,000, it got away at £15,500.

A late but very welcome entry to the February 10 sale at Thomson Roddick (18% buyer’s premium) in Edinburgh was a Minerva pilot’s chronograph wristwatch. Although lacking immediate brand recognition, these were influential watches and they appeal for their generous size of 45mm and obvious aviation heritage.

The white on black dial features a snail-shaped tachometer ring to the centre and a telemeter scale to the outer edge. A triangular-shaped luminous


In May 1930 Amy Johnson (1903-41) set off in a De Havilland Gipsy Moth called Jason to become the first woman to fly solo from Great Britain to Australia. The feat, followed by further long-distance solo and combined flights, earnt her place in aviation history.

The advent of the aeroplane and the need for accurate timekeeping at altitude drove wristwatch design.

Longines is renowned for two significant collaborations during this period. The first was with US naval officer Philip Van Horn Weems, whose famed navigation system led to the ‘Weems second-setting watch’. Secondly, in the early 1930s, American pilot Charles Lindbergh worked with Longines to create his ‘hour angle watch’. designed to work with a sextant and a nautical almanac.

On February 10, Sotheby’s (25/20/13.9% buyer’s premium) offered the chance to bid for a Longines watch once owned by Johnson. Estimated at £15,000-25,000 as part of an online Fine Watches sale, bidding reached £70,000.

Tutored by WeemsJohnson acquired her silver-cased ‘second-setting’ watch (labelled the Wittnauer Sidereal) in the US where she was tutored in celestial navigation by Weems himself. The watch was invoiced via Wittnauer (the agent for Longines in the US) on February 10, 1937, and that year Johnson was photographed wearing it twice in the Baltimore Sun newspaper.

In one she is pictured sitting next to Weems in Annapolis, Maryland, receiving instruction. Shortly after this meeting, Weems wrote a letter to the US pioneer aviator Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) offering her similar guidance. “I have just had Miss Amy Johnson here for two weeks. She did beautiful work and seems to be more than pleased with the results.”

Earhart died shortly afterwards attempting to circumnavigate the globe; Johnson in 1941 while

This Scottish watch came privately from a vendor specifying a modest estimate of £1000-1500. The auction house was confident this would be bettered and, indeed, bidding reached £6000.

The case design (with the pusher at 2 o’clock rather than integrated into the crown) and the case serial number 468976 would suggest a relatively early date. A watch with a marginally higher serial number sold by Phillips Geneva in November 2018 for SFr50,000 was dated c.1930.

Collectors use the name ‘Snowflake’ to refer the range of Tudor Submariners produced from 1969-75. These watches feature square hour markers and the quirky hand style that earned the nickname and helped distinguish the watch from its older and more expensive sibling, the Submariner produced by parent company Rolex.

Although supplied to the Marine Nationale, Snowflakes were also designed and priced for everyday use. They came in different dial colours with the option to buy with or without a date display. All feature movements by Swiss watch manufacturer ETA.Although often dismissed as ‘copies’ by the first generation of tool watch collectors, they are now recognised as a much rarer beast than the Rolex Submariner. This example, dated IV70 with original dial finish and nicely aged hands, comes for sale at Tennants in Leyburn on March 19 with a guide of £7000-9000.

tennants.co.uk

The Oysterdate Monte Carlo series were the first chronographs produced by Tudor. A cyclops date magnifier, screw-down pushers and the distinctive dial with angled subsidiaries make them instantly recognisable.

The 7000 series launched in 1970 is known as the ‘home plate’ thanks to its hour markers that resemble a baseball home plate. The 7100 series from the following year was equally quirky and came with a new and more sophisticated mechanism: the manually wound Valjoux 234.

The example offered for sale by Lodge & Thomas (15% buyer’s premium) in Truro on February 10-11 is model no 7159 – the Big Block – and was on the market for the first time since it was purchased new in 1979 at Mappin & Webb for £184 plus £32 for the bracelet.

Sold together with the original paperwork, purchase receipt and box, it was estimated at £8000-12,000 and took £8800. A similar example was offered by Bonhams in London in February 2021 sold at £8500.

From much the same era, but a different price bracket, is the Seiko Pepsi Pogue. The Ref 6139 or Pogue is a watch that many Seiko collectors covet because of the watch’s good looks and space heritage.

Alongside the official NASA issue Omega Speedster on his right wrist, Col William Pogue chose to wear a yellow-dial 6139 on the left arm during a Skylab 4 mission in 1973. Several variations on the ‘Pogue’ theme exist, with this example known as the Pepsi for its blue and red tachymeter bezel. It sold online for £420.

Although Roamer fell victim to the ‘quartz crisis’ – the introduction of quartz watches in the 1970s and early 1980s that largely replaced mechanical watches – in the 1950s-60s the firm enjoyed a good reputation as the maker of good-quality, affordable automatic mechanical watches.

Not a brand with great collectable status, Roamer watches remain good value with plenty of models priced at under £100. The one exception is the chunky 1970s Stingray Chrono that can bring close to four figures. The example above sold for £950 at Lockdales (18% buyer’s premium) in Ipswich on February 16-17.

The Swiss firm Favre-Leuba was another quartz crisis casualty (it relaunched in 2007) but in its day was something of a pioneer in diving watch design.

The 1962 Bivouac was the world's first mechanical wristwatch with a barometer to measure altimetry and air pressure, while the Bathy in 1968 was the first wristwatch to record both dive time and depth. Another diving model, the Deep Blue, was introduced in 1964. The series had many iterations including this red, white and blue model with the so-called ‘roulette and matching checkerboard’ Bakelite bezel. An example offered at Lockdales had a very scratched plexiglass dial but was in working condition. Estimated at £80-120, it took £1250.

Leading this Suffolk sale was a more familiar diving ‘tool’ watch: a Rolex ‘double red’ Sea-Dweller Ref 1665, c.1972. This came for sale from a vendor who, working as hyperbaric welder with Comex and Statoil, purchased it new in 1976 for £250. Wearing this watch, he completed submarine production welds in various parts of the world until 1984. Sold in working order with its box and papers, it hammered at £35,000 (estimate £20,000-25,000).

Milisub with provenanceBonhams’ (27.5/25/20/14.5% buyer’s premium) Watches and Wristwatches sale in Knightsbridge on February 22 included a version of the uber-collectable Rolex military issue Submariner or Milisub.

Rolex supplied reference 5513 watches for British special forces throughout the 1970s, although over the course of the decade this numbered as few as 1200 units. The example above, made in c.1975 with the MOD number to the case back, came for sale from its original owner who had a 27-year career in the Royal Navy, during which period he was the recipient of the Royal Humane Society award in 1975 and the Queens Commendation for Brave Conduct in 1981. It set a record for a single lot sold by the Knightsbridge department when, estimated at £40,000-60,000, it took £160,000.

A similar watch, one with more original elements but without such a storied provenance, sold for £123,000 at Sterling Vault in Farnham in February last year.

1. Roamer Stingray chronograph – £950 at Lockdales.

2. Favre-Leuba Deep Blue – £1250 at Lockdales.

3. Rolex ‘double red’ Sea-Dweller Ref 1665 – £35,000 at Lockdales.

4. Rolex military issue Submariner – £160,000 at Bonhams.

The Omega Seamaster 300, launched in 1957 simultaneously with the Railmaster and the Speedmaster, appears in numerous

variations. There are at least four dial types, four styles of hands and perhaps a dozen different bezels. The reference 165.024

pictured here is dated to c.1967-69. Its salient features are a screw down crown, sword hands, a dial with a small triangle at 12 o’clock,

white numerals and a big date aperture. At the Luxury Watch Sale at Fellows in Birmingham on March 21, it has an estimate of £4000-6000.

The jewellery department at Woolley & Wallis has built up something of a reputation for selling cameos and intaglios. In 2019, for example, the firm sold a rediscovered Renaissance sapphire intaglio ring from the celebrated Marlborough collection for £62,000.

On April 7 aficionados of the glyphic arts will have a rare opportunity to purchase a private collection of no fewer than 100 hardstone intaglios, 98 of which formed part of the remarkable collection of 2601 gems accumulated by Prince Stanislas Poniatowski (1754-1833), nephew of the King of Poland.

Each component is accompanied by a faithful electrotype casting, while detailed descriptions are provided in a special bound catalogue. The gems are mounted on two purpose-built display frames made by jeweller Collingwood & Co when the collection was last sold in the 1970s.

The story of the Poniatowski gems was one of the great art scandals of its day. His gems themselves were beautifully engraved with classical or mythological subjects as well as the names of prominent Greek artists from antiquity such as Pyrgoteles, Aulus, Gaius and Dioscorides. From a purely technical point of view the quality of the engraving on each gem was truly outstanding – and therein lay the fatal

flaw; they were simply too good to be true.After the prince’s death it was discovered that instead

of being ancient originals, the gems were actually modern fakes produced by a number of leading contemporary hardstone engravers including Giuseppe Girometti and brothers Giovanni and Luigi Pichler.

Needless to say, if these craftsmen had put their own name to their work rather than masquerading as engravers from ancient Greece then the Poniatowski collection would have rightly been seen as among the finest examples of Grand Tour gem engraving in existence. Instead, the gems were stigmatised, regarded as near worthless and through the 19th century and much of the 20th proved almost impossible to sell.

These days Poniatowski gems come up for auction relatively frequently and are eagerly collected. Depending on subject matter and condition, each tends to fetch anything between £1500 and £3000. In 2020 Bonhams sold a group of 10 for just over £19,000 (including premium) and another single gem a few months later for £2800. Sotheby’s sold a fine hardstone example of Hercules,

mounted as a ring, for £8125 although this may have been something of a one-off.

Woolley & Wallis is offering its own particular collection as a single lot with an eye-catching £40,000-60,000 estimate. Since this is the first time that such a large number of the gems has been offered together since the mid-19th century, they are likely to generate considerable interest.

This early medieval gold cross was discovered by a metal detectorist in a field in Sutton St Edmund, Lincolnshire, in April 2019. After two years, going through the Treasure process, the cross was returned to the finder, who is selling it at Dix Noonan Webb on March 15.

The gold cross pendant, which measures a fraction over 3cm long, dates from the 11th or 12th century. As Frances Noble, head of the jewellery department at DNW, notes: “It is of a form associated with Greek orthodoxy in the eastern Baltic region and very similar to others discovered in Denmark.”

In the medieval period, Denmark formed part of the Hanseatic League, the commercial and defensive alliance of merchant guilds and market towns in central and northern Europe. King’s Lynn, on the north Norfolk coast, just 20 miles from Sutton St Edmund, was a significant trading partner.

The area where the cross was found was the site of the Throckenholt hermitage and chapel that was granted to Thorney Abbey, by Nigel, Bishop of Ely (1133-69) in the 12th century.

This rare find will be offered for sale at the Jewellery, Watches and Objects of Vertu auction in Mayfair estimated at £6000-8000.

Linking Norfolk and Denmark De Temple revival

The Select Jewellery & Watches sale at Lyon & Turnbull (25/20% buyer’s premium) on March 30 includes a number of pieces by the coterie of artist-craftsmen who led a revival of British jewellery making in the 1960s-70s. Like so much of post-war decorative arts, they have roared back into fashion.

This 1968 two-strand gold and cultured pearl necklace is by Charles de Temple. Composed of two rows of baroque cultured pearls, each within a textured 18ct gold cage setting, it is expected to bring £4000-6000.

De Temple was born in Mexico in 1929 and was brought up as part of the famous Ringling Brothers Circus, touring across America. Having initially become a nightclub singer, he became a jeweller based in Massachusetts and developed great skills as a goldsmith. In 1957 he moved to London, and during the 1960s joined the modern British jewellery movement.

His most famous commissions were created for James Bond films: he made the goldfinger that Honour Blackman wore at the Goldfinger (1962) premiere, and designed the ring Bond (George Lazenby) gave to Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo (Diana Rigg) in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969).

Marriage or betrothal rings of the Byzantine period depict the bride and groom with Christ who performs the marriage rite, writes Roland Arkell.

The imagery was ultimately taken from coinage, specifically solidi celebrating the marriage of the Theodosian empress Pulcheria to the general Marcian that depict the standing couple blessed by Christ. Byzantine rings often had a dual purpose as portable amulets: and functioned as invocations against ill wishes.

The example that led Toovey’s (24.5% buyer’s premium) sale in Washington, West Sussex, on February 16, taking an unexpected £11,000 (estimate £600-900), came for sale with an old invoice from Brighton jeweller Lewis Davis & Son. It read: Ex Guilhou Collection, Early marriage Ring, the hoop of circular section, the round Bezel incised with the Lord inviting the hands of Man & Woman, Byzantine.

The reference to the collection of enigmatic Frenchman Eduoard Guilhou in this note is important. While little is known of the man himself, his massive collection of more than 1600 ancient, Byzantine and medieval rings was published after he died in 1912 by the art historian and private collector Seymour de Ricci (1881-1942). Sotheby’s auctioned the collection in 1937.

Although Guilhou’s archive was mostly undocumented, De Ricci was able to deduce that it comprised rings from many celebrated collections sold in the late 19th and early 20th centuries including those of Frédéric Spitzer (1893), Baron Jérome-Frédéric Pichon (1897) and Victor Gay (1909).

He pictures three similar Byzantine gold marriage rings of this type in The Catalogue of a Collection of Ancient Rings Formed by the Late E Guilhou listed as numbers 845, 848 and 861, this ring offered in West Sussex, probably made in Constantinople in the 3rd-7th centuries, appears to be number 845.

A Cumbrian in BucksA 17th century gold signet ring sold for £20,000 at Hansons (25% buyer’s premium) in Etwall, Derbyshire,

on December 9 had been discovered on farmland at Thornton, Buckinghamshire, in 2018. However, its original owner had been Cumbrian nobility.

The ring has a rotating bezel engraved to one side with a unicorn head and to the other with

With the discovery of the intact tomb of Tutankhamun in 1923, an Egyptian revival swept through the decorative arts. Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels were among the first to design jewels that mixed Egyptian motifs with the geometry and bold colours of the Art Deco era. But other French, British and US ateliers soon followed.

The highlight of the sale at Dawsons (23% buyer’s premium) in Maidenhead on January 27 was a French Art Deco platinum and multi gem-pendant (left).

Made in calibre rubies and emeralds within a pave-set diamond surround and a calibre black onyx border, it is centred with a kneeling deity (probably Isis) and a surmount articulated panels, the largest centred with a lotus flower.

The platinum mounts have French marks, an indistinct

lozenge-shaped maker’s mark and the number 65658. Following a probate valuation, the vendor had been delighted

to consign it for sale via Dawsons’ Hampstead office with a guide of £3000-5000. This ultimately proved very modest as, after a lengthy bidding-duel, it went to a US dealer for £39,500.

Aquamarine pendantAnother textbook example of Art Deco jewellery, an aquamarine cushion-cut pendant (right), sold for £18,000 (estimate £3000-5000) at Kinghams (23% buyer’s premium) in Moreton-in-Marsh on February 18. Set in platinum with an old-cut diamond surround, the principal stone has an estimated weight of 85ct and was deemed “an exceptionally bright and vivid blue hue, very well saturated, with good clarity”.

coat of arms of the Curwen family of Workington. It had probably belonged to Thomas Curwen (1602-72), the second son of Sir Henry Curwen MP (1581-1623) who inherited the family estate following the death of his elder brother, Sir Patricius Curwen, 1st Baronet (c.1602-1664). The estate included the 15th century Workington Hall, where Mary, Queen of Scots sought refuge in 1568 in the immediate aftermath of her defeat at the Battle of Langside.

The unicorn head crest, which appears to the gateposts at the family seat, is an echo of early Curwen family links to Galloway. Thomas, who never married, was buried at Workington.

The ring was purchased by a UK bidder at twice the low estimate.

Merchant classEstimated at £3000-4000, a Tudor merchant’s signet ring took £13,000 at TimeLine (25% buyer’s premium) in London on February 22. Most probably of English workmanship, it was cast with raised acanthus ornamented shoulders and set with an oval bezel bearing an incuse and reversed design of an entwined vine or knot with star below between the letters FL.

The initials would be those of a wealthy member of the merchant class and the ring used to seal or counterseal documents. A large wearable size, it was a family heirloom acquired by the owner's father-in-law before 1950.

The Art by Four Women exhibition held at the Walker Gallery, London, in 1935 was something of a break-through event for Birmingham-trained goldsmith Dorrie Nossiter (1893-1977).

‘Perhaps to a modern woman, the hand-wrought jewellery by Dorrie Nossiter will have the greatest appeal,’ wrote a review. ‘She has designed rings, necklaces, clips and earrings, earrings being the most handsome of all – and she gives her works of art such charming appellations as Quiet Evening, Stamboul and Treasure Trove.’

Nossiter’s work (she used the King brothers for setting throughout her career) is rarely signed or hallmarked and her clusters of colourful semi-precious gems set in gold and silver is sometimes confused with the work of other Craft Revivalists.

This bracelet, c.1950, attributed to Nossiter, comes for sale at Roseberys London on March 15 with a guide of £3000-4000. Set with cat’s eye chrysoberyl, pink tourmaline, cabochon citrine, green zircon, and pearls, it comes in a Dibdin & Co, Sloane Street, case.

Minton linksA Victorian bracelet coming for sale at Halls in Shrewsbury on March 23 with a guide of £700-900 has connections to the Minton ceramics family. Set with a series of oval porcelain plaques, four are female representations of the seasons and two depict doves upon a ring of roses.

The yellow metal engraved scroll mount is inscribed CMC to LWC May 1852 – initials that relate to Colin Minton Campbell and Louisa Wilmot Cave-Browne-Cave, who married on August 3, 1853. Minton Campbell was the grandson of Thomas Minton, founder of the Minton pottery, and he joined the Minton partnership in 1849. He represented North Staffordshire in Parliament from 1874-80.

A ‘WRAPPED’ CULTURED PEARL TWO-STRAND NECKLACE, BY CHARLES DE TEMPLE, 1968Length: 46.5cm

£4,000-6,000 + fees




A white agate intaglio (right) carrying the name of a giant of Georgian gem engraving surfaced at Bellmans (22% buyer’s premium) in Wisborough Green, West Sussex, on February 22-24. Although guided at just £150-200, the gem signed for Edward Burch (1730-1814) sold for £10,000.

Burch, who started life as a waterman on the Thames, was the foremost gem-engraver in England at the time. He became an associate member of the Royal Academy in 1770 and a full member the following year; his gems were shown regularly at Royal Academy exhibitions. His pupil was the equally celebrated engraver Nathaniel Marchant (1739-1816).

Among Bunch’s known works is a cornelian intaglio finger ring carved with the head of the Apollo Belvedere which belonged to the Prince of Wales and is now in the British Museum. The composition (the bust of Apollo set over his lyre) matches this intaglio. It had been mounted as a Georgian fob seal, the openwork cage later adapted to become a finger ring.

Montrose sleeperGood examples of the glyphic arts continue to excel in the saleroom. The subject of unexpected bidding at Taylor’s (24% buyer’s premium) in Montrose on January 13 was

a lot of intaglio carnelian seal fobs guided at £30-50.One was Victorian, engraved with a crest and a monogram,

the other more speculative, finely worked with the profile bust of a bearded man (left). The inscription in ancient

Greek translates as Trophonios – the Greek hero with a rich mythological and cult tradition. In the classical tradition, ‘to descend into the cave of Trophonios’ became a proverbial way of saying ‘to suffer a great fright’. This fine example of the glyphic arts will require research to ascertain if it is a Grand Tour

piece, a Renaissance copy or perhaps an ancient Hellenistic or Roman gem. Speculating it might be the

latter, it was pursued to £9500.

Aided by the skills of the Alsatian jeweller Georges-Frédéric Strass (1701-77), the boundaries of what could be achieved with paste jewellery were pushed back in the 18th century. It was Strass who cornered the market for artificial gemstones at the French court, creating ‘diamonds’ first from rock crystal gathered from the Rhine (hence the name ‘rhinestone’) and then from leaded glass.

Treated with chemicals and backed with foil to add colour, depth, shine, paste became hugely important in Georgian jewellery. Replicating the brilliance of precious stones at a fraction of a cost, it could aid with security (travelling with jewellery was notoriously risky) and proved an art form in its own right. Much of it was finely made by specialists or by the same craftsmen who worked with gemstones.

In collecting terms paste offers great possibilities. Often dismissed as mere ‘costume’ jewellery, it is an artform in its own right and the ultimate expression of design and craftsmanship over intrinsic value. While many 18th and early 19th century jewels were broken up for their stones and reset in more fashionable styles, paste has a much better survival rate. The Georgian foil-backed deep blue paste pendant drop necklace offered at Catherine Southon’s (24% buyer’s premium) February 2 sale at Selsdon is a case in point. Estimated at £200-300, it sold to a UK dealer at £3900.

Top-seller among the 170 jewellery lots at the Surrey sale was a large 1940s diamond-set and gold floral clip brooch by Boucheron.

Signed Boucheron London and in its original blue leather Boucheron case, the quality of the diamond and the name of a great jeweller ensured it would better the £500-800 estimate. A UK dealer’s winning bid was £4200.

Spry vase blossoms at £8500Floral decorator tasked her assistant to develop a range which was fired by Fulham Pottery

The society florist Constance Spry (1886-1960) is today considered the 20th century’s most influential floral decorator. Her approach to the art of flower arranging – seasonal, natural, unconventional – has seen a resurgence in recent years, one celebrated last summer at the Garden Museum in London.

Among the exhibits at the show Constance Spry and the Fashion for Flowers was a large array of the pottery vases made for Spry by the Fulham Pottery. The exhibition noted: “Spry tasked her art assistant Florence Standfast to develop wide-mouthed bowls to allow for an abundance of blooms and foliage.”

By 1935, the Fulham Pottery was engaged to create the range for sale, producing Standfast’s outsized classically inspired designs in a Devonshire earthenware.

Typically, they were only biscuit fired (Spry liked the plaster-like finish that could be painted if desired) with a glaze only applied internally to make the vessels watertight. Bearing an impressed

Auction Reports Hammer highlights

facsimile signature, they were retailed by Flower Decorations Ltd and remained in production into the mid 1950s.

In commercial terms, these vessels have had a remarkable return to form in the past decade. Keenly sought after by decorators and Spry devotees, most of the large boat-shaped vases are now priced in the low three figures with others, seemingly made in small numbers, bringing rather more.

Back in February 2020, Norfolk auction house TW Gaze took £2600 for a 19in (43cm) wall pocket,

modelled as a swag of fabric.However, that price was made

to look modest in comparison with the reception given to a similarly sized two-handled vase offered by Shropshire firm Brettells (19% buyer’s premium) on February 22. Estimated at £200-400, it sold to an online buyer via thesaleroom.com at £8500.

Just six years ago a vase of this size and model sold for a hammer price of just £100 at Halls of Shrewsbury, while until recently another was listed on the 1stDibs website priced at just over £2000.

The other unexpected ceramics highlight at Brettells was provided by a Paragon porcelain part teaset.

Comprising five cups, six saucers and six side plates, these were each of the desirable ‘flower handle’ type and decorated with different Art Deco-style floral designs.

There is a vibrant online trade in single Paragon cups and saucers of this type (those with butterfly handles are equally sought) and prices of £300-400 each are not unheard of for the most coveted designs.

This near set took £2200 (estimate £100-200), also to an online buyer. n

Former champion jockey Joe Mercer 1934-2021) was a keen buyer of racing memorabilia and over the years had been a familiar face at Special Auction Services (20% buyer’s premium).

The Newbury firm offered more than 30 lots from his collection in the monthly Antiques & Collectables sale on February 1.

It included a set of oak jockey scales by W&T Avery. These are a recognisable type from the late Victorian period that can touch four figures at auction but these had been purchased by Mercer at an auction relating to the flat-racing great Fred Archer (1857-86).

SAS notes it is believed that Archer used these scales on a weekly basis when training.

Estimated at £1000-2000, they took £7500.

Ecclesiastical Mouseman

Above: Constance Spry pedestal flower vase by Fulham Pottery – £8500 at Brettells.

Right: Art Deco 17-piece Paragon teaset – £2200.

Ecclesiastical commissions are integral to the Mouseman story – it was the friendship between Father Paul Neville and Robert Thompson that led to the work at Ampleforth College – but in commercial terms these can be relatively difficult pieces.

Not every collector can easily accommodate pews, altar crosses, lecterns and prie-dieu.

However, there is no doubt that two carvings offered for sale at Railtons (20% buyer’s premium) in Wooler, Northumberland, on February 18, were rare pieces.

The figures of a bishop standing 17in (44cm) and and a 14in (35cm) Christ were probably carved in the 1960s or 70s by either George Weightman or Stan Dodds as a special commission or for promotional purposes. Both have the recessed ‘mouse’ carved to the square block base.

Estimating them was not easy – they were never going to be in the same league as some of the more comical figures that have made huge sums in recent times – but they were undercooked at £150-250. In fact, the pair sold at £7100.

The record for a Thompson carving is the anthropomorphic figure of The Mouseman of Kilburn

sold at Tennants in March 2021 for £13,000, a sale that also included a figure of Mr Toad of Wind in the Willows fame hammered at £10,000.

A more straightforward example of the Thompson output was a pair of pre-war oak stools with desirable dished tops. These came to Railtons from the same source and sold for £3700.

Right: two Mouseman carved oak ecclesiastical figures (with mark above) – £7100 at Railtons.



Among the most traditional of antiques, the William and Mary oyster veneered walnut chest of drawers remains a welcome visitor to the saleroom.

While the market has certainly changed, good examples of a textbook English form continue to demand command decent sums.

The two late 17th century five-drawer chests pictured here were both the same size at 3ft 1in (93cm) wide, both inlaid and cross banded and stood on (probably later) turned bun feet.

The ‘cleaner’ of the two examples came for sale at Plymouth Auction Rooms (20% buyer’s premium) on February 2 with a guide of £700-1000. Auctioneer Paul Keen had been shown the piece in a local garage, his eyes lighting up as a covering blanket was removed. It took £5600.

Playful Tinworth packs a Punch and Judy As a Doulton ‘lifer’ George Tinworth’s (1843-1913) output was immense, but he is best remembered as the creator of the series of playful stoneware sculptures of zoomorphic mice and frogs that have become the Lambeth factory’s most commercial fodder.

Typically, they were produced from moulds designed by Tinworth, then hand-assembled by his assistants before the maestro adding some final touches. Accordingly, no two models are quite the same.

The Playgoers depicting mice watching a Punch and Judy show first issued c.1886 was one of the most popular creations.

While the 6in (15cm) model was made in decent numbers there are a wide number of different colour variants – as seen in these two examples offered for sale by Biddle & Webb (20% buyer’s premium) in Birmingham on February 19.

They made similar prices, selling at £2200 (in predominantly brown and white) and £2400 (with the addition of a blue glaze).

This George I period giltwood and gilt gesso girandole or mirror shown right formerly belonged to the art historian, connoisseur and collector Ralph Edwards (1894-1977), author with Percy Macquoid of the hugely influential Dictionary of English Furniture published from 1924-27.

The mirror is pictured in volume two where it is noted as being ‘from Mr Ralph Edwards’ and can be seen in situ alongside Edwards and his wife Marjorie as part of the drawing room furnishings at their home Suffolk House on Chiswick Mall close to the Thames.

Edwards was the grandfather of the vendor who consigned it for sale with other pieces to the Connoisseur’s Library Sale at Bonhams (27.5/25% buyer’s premium) in Knightsbridge on February 15-16. It was estimated at £7000-9000 and sold at £20,000.

Edwards and Macquoid dated the mirror to c.1715, although in line with more modern analysis of such pieces, Bonhams suggested it was “perhaps more realistically c.1725”. The brass

scrolled candle arms are later. Edwards was one of the earliest

scholars to go back to contemporary sources and begin to restore the names of craftsmen, makers and artists who had fallen into obscurity – although he later opined that this approach had caused furniture

history to become too dry and mundane.

Brass touchAn early 18th century triple plate overmantel mirror sold well over hopes at Franklin Browns (18% buyer’s premium) in Edinburgh on

February 19. Guided at just £200-300, it took £10,700.

Probably from the Queen Anne period, it retained all of its original bevelled plates within a simple giltwood border frame. The tooled brass mounts to the corners were a nice detail. Roland Arkell

The unexpected highlight of the Sworders (25% buyer’s premium) Out of the Ordinary sale on February 15 was this plaster version of the Jean-Jacques Feuchère (1807-1852) sculpture Mephistopheles.

Titled Satan when first exhibited in plaster at the Salon of 1834 and cast in bronze the following year, it proved an influential work for its Romantic portrayal of Mephistopheles as a melancholic and contemplative rather than monstrous. The subject’s pose is inspired by the famous engraving of Melancholy by Dürer (Feuchère is known to have owned a copy) and in turn

is thought to have influenced Rodin’s Thinker. A number of reductions were cast in bronze

measuring 13½in (34cm) and 10½in (21cm), some with the foundry inscription E. de Labroue.

Gautier et Cie. The artist also produced an enlarged and reworked version in 1850

known in a few casts – one is in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.

However, this plaster model, standing 15in (38cm) high, was signed and dated to the base J Feuchère 1838 and was inset with a small oval cast bronze plaque with the monogram JF. Clearly

it was a lot closer to the artist than the estimate of £200-300 suggested.

Despite some condition issues (the front fins to the wings were missing),

it was bought on the phone by a French collector at £6800. Christie’s sold a bronze

cast of Mephistopheles in November 2017 for £15,000.

Above: two Phyllis Keyes cups decorated by Vanessa Bell, with mark below right – £1300 at W&H Peacock.

Left: plaster model of Jean-Jacques Feuchere’s Mephistopheles – £6800 at Sworders.

Melancholic not monstrous

From the early 1930s, the London potter Phyllis Keyes (1881-1968), with a studio in Warren Street and later in Clipstone Street, supplied Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant and other members of the Bloomsbury Group with earthenware teawares, jugs and vases for decoration.

After firing, many pieces (typically marked with a crossed keys and the initial P) were offered for sale through Heal’s, sited nearby on Tottenham Court Road.

This pair of teacups decorated with a simple design of yellow crosses against a blue ground were probably decorated by Vanessa Bell (1879-1961).

One has significant crazing, two chips and a hairline crack, the other has two chips and discolouration. However, such is the market for Bloomsbury and Omega Workshops material they took £1300 (estimate £40-60) at W&H Peacock (17.5% buyer’s premium) in Bedford on February 18.

Bloomsbury and Omega are key to appeal

“I do occasionally trial someone new to auction if I believe I have an audience for it

Less is more in the modern world

Auction Reports Art market

A notable feature of the Modern and Contemporary art market over the past few years has been the number of surprising prices fetched by so-called lesser names at auction.

Part of this could be down to bidders having more time during the various Covid restrictions to seek out new or overlooked artists including some whose secondary markets may have yet to become fully established.

Many buyers also seem to have had more money and inclination to spend on works they wish to display in their homes, which has also led to some unexpected but welcome results in the saleroom. And then there is the fact that people are becoming more attuned to the investment potential of this sector in general that has also bolstered demand.

In the early part of 2022, as Covid restrictions around the UK eased, a few signs indicated that these developments may be sustained.

The latest Contemporary & Post-War Art sale held by Edinburgh saleroom Lyon & Turnbull (25% buyer’s premium) generated some fierce competition on a few notable works, including a good number by artists who could be described as either ‘emerging’ or receiving some extra attention after a period out of the limelight. With 317 lots on offer on January 19, including a lively section of prints and multiples, the premium-inclusive total was £596,950 with 86% of the lots selling.

Associate director and head of Contemporary art at L&T Charlotte Riordan said that the extra interest this market received during the pandemic appeared to be continuing, pointing to the high selling rate in particular as well as the performance of some individual lots.

When asked about works by the less-recognised names, she said: “I do occasionally trial someone new to auction if I believe I have an audience for it.

“I think perhaps people are moving from being gallery buyers to dabbling at auction in greater volumes so it matters less in some cases whether a known primary market name has a secondary market yet.

“People are perhaps simply really falling in love with specific images

and going for it – prepared to pay retail prices for the right artwork for the space they have in mind. So in some ways it appears it’s not necessarily that strategic.”

Murdoch rarityOne of the artists appearing at the sale with little track record at auction was Nina Murdoch (b.1970). Only two pictures had appeared before this sale according to Artprice.

In this case, the fact that her technique involves a meticulous process with up to a hundred layers of paint for each work also helps explains the dearth of supply – she produces fewer than 10 paintings a year.

However, her name has been on the radar of the art world’s cognoscenti for some time. After graduating from the Slade and Royal Academy Schools, she later became first recipient of the Threadneedle Prize in 2008 and has now had three solo shows at London’s Marlborough Gallery.

The picture here, King’s Cross, was one of a number of works depicting different scenes in the north London neighbourhood that she first exhibited at the RA in 1996. A larger

example, more detailed and over double the size of the current picture, sold for £5500 at Bonhams Oxford in 2012 and represents the artist’s highest price at auction.

The 23½in (60cm) square oil and egg tempera on gesso on board at L&T was estimated at £1500-2500 and sold at £3400 after a decent competition. “There’s relatively few auction records behind her hence the lowish estimate,” said Riordan, “but she’s a known name if you follow the art world. I think this was a case of a few canny people spotting it.”

Arguably the most eye-catching result of the sale came for a painting called Watchers by Willie Rodger (1930-2018). Primarily a printmaker, although also a talented artist, commercially his works have never really had huge amounts of exposure and remain relatively rare at auction. Before this sale his auction record was £1200 for a 1967 linocut titled Reverie.

Last year the Royal Scottish Academicians held the first posthumous exhibition in Scotland devoted to his work and a few signs have since indicated that the market

1. King’s Cross by Nina Murdoch – £3400 at Lyon & Turnbull.

2. Sand Dunes by James D Robertson – £7000.

3. Winter Dark Sea by James Morrison – £6500.

4. Women Observed by Sir Robin Philipson – £14,000.

5. Watchers by Willie Rodger – £7000.

6. Lunga (Puffin Island) from Iona by Frances MacDonald – £2400.

may be beginning to react.Appearing here, the 2ft 6in x 3ft

4in (75cm x 1m) signed oil on canvas from 1998 depicted figures in a variety of poses at a sculpture park – a subject which apparently captured the imagination of a number of interested parties. Estimated at £600-800, Watchers was bid to £7000, a major record that Riordan described as “extraordinary”.

She added: “This was a case of two people knowing little about the artist but loving the image and being prepared to fight for it.” In so doing, they set a new benchmark for Rodger on the secondary market.

In terms of more established names at the sale, strong bidding emerged on a 1971 oil on canvas by James Downie Robertson (1931-2010). The Cowdenbeath-born painter always known as ‘Jimmy’, who became a senior lecturer at the Glasgow School of Art, has been an influential presence on the Scottish art scene for over five decades. But although a good number of works have sold at auction over the years, it has been a while since much notable action has occurred with seemingly only two works making over £2000 in the last five years.

On offer at the L&T sale was Sand Dunes, a 2ft 6in x 3ft 4in (75cm x 1m) signed oil on canvas. It was a vintage example of his large oils which are rarer at auction than his works on paper and, as with many of his pictures, it was an attempt to evoke the mood of a particular setting rather than directly portray it.

Estimated at £1000-1500, it sold at £7000 – a record for Robertson at auction, breaking the 15-year-old previous high of £6500 for a winter landscape sold at Christie’s in London. Riordan said it will be interesting to see whether it proves to be a one-off or represents an upward trend for the artist.

Could the same be said of Glaswegian painter James Morrison (1932-2020)? Again, it has been a

while since a really big price has come for the artist, although here the auction record stands at a much higher level: £65,000 for Inchbroach Angus at Sotheby’s in 2014.

On offer in Edinburgh was Winter Dark Sea, a 2ft 8in x 4ft 10in (81cm x 1.47m) oil on board which, although it was not as commercial as his sunlit views of the farmland around his home in Angus, certainly had its merits for both its wall power and tonal qualities.

“I’ve long felt Morrison doesn’t make what he ought to at auction,” said Riordan. “He was really skilful and his style is so elegant and distinctive.”

The recent death of the artist and an accompanying BBC documentary may well have engendered some extra attention and here, against a £3000-5000 pitch, Winter Dark Sea sold at £6500 – the highest price for Morrison for over two years.

Sensual worksSir Robin Philipson (1916-92) is another artist who has been a bit out of the limelight in recent years. However, a good-sized figurative pictured titled Women Observed drew competition here, selling at £14,000 against a £8000-12,000 estimate.

The artist was born in Cumbria but moved to Scotland with his family at the age of 14, going on to study at Edinburgh College of Art where he later became a teacher for many years.

His works are quite diverse, both stylistically and in terms of subject matter, and this 3ft x 2ft 4in (92 x 72cm) signed oil on canvas came from an acclaimed series of “edgy” and “sensually charged” depictions of nude women according to the catalogue. Related works with similar subjects and use of rich colouring are held in public collections, including those of the National Galleries of Scotland, Fitzwilliam Museum and Courtauld Institute of Art.

Riordan said: “I’d say this was one of the best Philipsons to be seen on the market for a while. His market has been a little staid in recent years but it’s good to see two private collectors recognising its quality and being prepared to dig deep and pay an appropriate price for a work of this quality.”

While Philipson’s works have made stronger five-figure sums on occasion (and indeed a six-figure sum once), only two have fetched

more than the current picture in the last five years (source: Artprice). Interestingly, the same work had fetched more at L&T in 2008 (£21,000) but less when it reappeared at Sotheby’s in 2017 (£13,000).

While the result was matched by Jack Vettriano’s (b.1951) Lone Operator which also sold at £14,000 (the two works were the joint top lot of the L&T sale), another picture bringing demand further down the price scale was Lunga (Puffin Island) from Iona by Frances MacDonald (b.1945).

The 12in (31cm) square oil on canvas had been exhibited at The Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh in 2009 and appeared here with a £600-800 estimate, selling at £2400. While her works can fetch much bigger sums, this picture was in a smaller format but had an interesting range of colours heavily applied with a palette knife as well as a popular subject.

“Iona is a special place and there are people out there who specifically collect work related to the island,” said Riordan. n

An example of the work of northern artist Norman Cornish (1919-2014) appeared down south at Canterbury Auction Galleries (22.5% buyer’s premium).

The 20in x 2ft 4in (51 x 71cm) signed pastel and watercolour was consigned from a local property prior to a house move along with some antique furniture including a walnut secretaire that made £1350. This work on paper proved more valuable, however.

The market for the pitman painter, who worked in the mines at Spennymoor in County Durham from the age of 14, retiring to become a full-time artist in 1966, has proved pretty robust over recent years. Despite the fact that he produced a large body of work and a strong supply of pictures emerges regularly, most often at auctions in the north, the majority of his works still attract bidding so long as the estimates are not overcooked.

It was slightly harder to predict how the example in Canterbury would fare given that it was a monochrome work and with a more unusual composition. Depictions of figures with their backs turned to the viewer are a distinctive part of Cornish’s oeuvre – in particular scenes of men standing at a pub bars or walking down a street – but rarely do they dominate the scene so centrally.

This image of a miner bending over and carrying a lamp and lunchbox in a tunnel bound by steel girders and a conveyor belt, however, was deemed to have a certain evocative appeal. It drew good interest at the auction on February 5-6, surpassing

a £5000-7000 estimate and selling online to a Cumbrian bidder at £7500, a decent sum for a work of this size and medium.

Stodel wins the £26,000 trophy

Henry III gold penny is ‘best ever’ coin find


koopman rare art

The potent mix of China, horseracing and the 1851 Great Exhibition yielded a strong price for this splendid ‘export’ silver trophy at Lawrences in Crewkerne on January 18.

Standing 16in (40cm) high, chased with foliage, birds and scrolls, and applied with two dragon handles, it has a shield inscribed Hong Kong Races 1850 Celestial Cup, Presented by D Jardine Esq won by Mr Dudgeon’s Great Western. Ridden by J King Esq, HM 59th Regt. It is struck to the pedestal base with both pseudo hallmarks and the mark KHC for the maker-retailer Khecheong of Old China Street, Canton.

Unbroken provenanceAs pointed out in an ATG preview, the cup was on display at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and is recorded in Robert Hunt’s handbook to the event: ‘Two silver cups, the Celestial Cup presented at Hong Kong Races, 1850 and a smaller cup of silver… are shown among the Chinese contribution…’

Passed by descent in the Somerset family of the owner of ‘Mr Dudgeon’, it had an unbroken provenance and is a relatively early Hong Kong racing trophy. It was only after the first Opium War (1839-42) that the treaty port was ceded to the British, its population numbering just 32,983 in the census of 1851.

Hopes of £2000-2500 were modest in the context of a strong market for Chinese silver (a similarly decorated teapot by Khecheong sold for $6500 at Christie’s sale of the Posner collection of Chinese export silver in August 2019). Instead bidding reached £26,000 (plus 25% buyer’s

premium), at which point it was bought for stock by specialist dealer S&J Stodel of the London Silver Vaults.

“The cup is an outstanding piece of Chinese export silver, but more than that, it has a wonderful story,” Stephen and

A newly discovered Henry III ‘gold penny’, one of the most fabled coins in all of British numismatics, has sold for £540,000 (plus 20% buyer’s premium).

Gregory Edmund, senior numismatist and auctioneer at Spink, described the metal-detecting find, sold in a special evening sale on January 23, as “on par with the discoveries of Coenwulf’s gold mancus in 2001 and the Edward III double-leopard in 2006”.

Those coins had sold for £200,000 and £400,000 respectively, each time breaking the record for an English coin.

The two lots illustrated right formed part of a Dominic Winter (20% buyer’s premium) sale on January 26.

‘The Conflagration of Dalla, on the Rangoon River’ is one of the hand-coloured aquatints after Lieutenant Joseph Moore that make up Eighteen Views taken at & near Rangoon, an 1825 work by Moore and Captain Frederick Marryat.

An ex-East India College library copy, it contained five extra plates from Views in the Birman Empire of 1826, and sold for £6800 to an online bidder.

James Wyld’s folding Map of the Colony of British Columbia and the British & American Territory West of the Rocky Mountains… of 1858 was published to coincide with a gold rush, as the work’s even longer full title reveals, but it also identifies coal and mineral deposits in the region. It took £5600.

Oriental Field Sports, illustrated with 40 coloured aquatint plates after the latter, sold at what may have been a somewhat disappointing low-estimate £5400.

Single-owner collectionsTwo notable single-owner collections also featured in the Gloucestershire sale.

One of them was the Sinclair Hood library of Greek archaeological interest, which ran to 95 lots. A five-volume, mixed edition set of the

Society of Dilettanti’s Antiquities of Iona publications that spanned the years 1797-1915 took £5600.

The other collection presented 48 lots from the library of the late Alfred C Tomlinson (1927-2015), a poet, translator, academic and illustrator, and it included, at £3000, a lot focusing on the works of Bruce Chatwin.

One of the stand-out lots in a Sotheby’s New York (26/20/13.9% buyer’s premium) auction that ran from January 14-25 was a 1949 first printing of Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor.

A work that has remained one of the most popular and admired works in its field, it has been described by US investor and philanthropist Warren Buffet as “the best book on investing ever written”.

Signed by Graham on the front free endpaper, this copy of a book that was published at $3.50 was here bid to a much higher than suggested and record $60,000 (£44,445).

The most remarkable advance on estimate in this New York sale was made by a set of The Writings of Thomas Jefferson…, a nine-volume work edited by Henry A Washington and published in Washington DC in 1853-54.

Including essays, papers, correspondence – even a folding facsimile of Jefferson’s draft of the Declaration of Independence – this edition superseded one of 1829 that ran to only four volumes.

This set once belonged to Edwin B Morgan, a financier and entrepreneur as well as the first president of the Wells Fargo Company, a director of American Express and a New York member of the House of Representatives who served in various political guises in Congress from 1852-58.

This splendid example of the illustrative work of Edmund Dulac, a watercolour, gouache and ink drawing on paper, is his original artwork for one of the 28 plates he produced for a 1911, Hodder & Stoughton edition of Stories from Hans Andersen.

Signed and dated 1910, it was one of those he made for the story of ‘The Snow Queen’.

As the caption to the plate in that book explains: “Many a Winter’s night she flies through the streets and peeps in at the windows and then the ice freezes on the panes into wonderful patterns like flowers.”

Though exhibited at the time in London’s Leicester Galleries, Dulac’s original artwork seems to have spent much of its life in the US. It has made two previous auction appearances at Christie’s New York, in 1985 and 1994, but it was in a Swann (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) sale of December 16 that it doubled expectations to sell at $100,000 (£75,190).

The two signed photo-portraits of writers reproduced here formed part of a November 17-December 1 sale held by Christie’s (15/20/14.5% buyer’s premium) that dispersed a single-owner collection of literary manuscripts billed as Exiles and Idealists.

Sold at £13,000 was a cabinet photo-portrait of Chekhov taken by his elder brother, Alexander, a talented amateur, in 1897 – just before Anton’s departure for a winter stay at Biarritz necessitated by his worsening tuberculosis.

By 1899 Chekhov had moved to Yalta, on the Black Sea coast, where he spent his last years and died in 1904. Father Grigory Vinogradov, to whom the portrait is signed and inscribed, was an archpriest from the Kuban region.

Dating from 1927, the year before he began work on his masterpiece, The Master and Margarita, the portrait of Mikhail Bulgakov is inscribed to Vladimir Petrovich Nemeshaev, director of the copyright office of the Moscow Society of Dramatic Writers and Composers.

It seems to show a rather severe-looking figure, but Christie’s focused on the “noticeably dandefied appearance characteristic of his portraits at this period, a time when he could often be seen sporting a monocle, a bow-tie and even a bowler hat”.

Bulgakov’s autograph is exceptionally rare on the market, it appears, and this inscribed photo-portrait sold at £26,000.

Above left: 1897 photo-portrait of Anton Chekhov sold for £13,000 by Christie’s.

A set of the four volumes that make up William G Johnstone & Alexander Croall’s Nature-Printed British Sea-Weeds of 1859-60 was offered in a December 21 sale at John Nicholson’s (20% buyer’s premium) in Fernhurst, Surrey.

Re-cased in the original cloth bindings and presenting some 221 nature-printed plates in all, one of which is reproduced right, it sold online at £800.

A couple of other examples have made more at auction; most recently at a Dominic Winter sale of May 2020, where bidding reached £1200.

Baldwin’s coin auction in London on March 10 features one of the very first gold Islamic coins: the Arab-Byzantine, temp.

This coin (less than 10 are known) was issued under Abd al-Malik (685-705) when the Muslim armies of the Umayyad Caliphate swept westwards along the north coast of Africa at the end of the 7th century. Based on the Heraclius solidus common to this former outpost of the Byzantine empire, it replaced Christian symbolism with trefoils and the legends on both sides are truncated Latinised versions of the Islamic declaration of faith.

This ‘extremely fine’ coin is guided at £10,000-15,000. baldwin.co.uk

Twenty years before Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary conquered Mount Everest, a British team set out to fly over and photograph the top of the peak for the first time.

The Houston-Mount Everest flight expedition led to a successful pass over the mountain by Sir Douglas Douglas-Hamilton and David McIntyre on April 3, 1933, followed by a second flight on April 19 as dust had inhibited clear photography on the first.

The pictures taken later helped Hillary’s expedition reach the summit.A 103-page leather-bound notebook containing cuttings from British and Indian

newspapers and magazines chronicling the successful flights comes up for sale at Argyll Etkin in London on March 10. Compiled by Stephen Smith, honorary secretary of The Indian Air Mail Society, it also contains original photographs, stamped envelopes and signatures of expedition members.

This Edison Electric Pen is one of two examples at Dominic Winter in South Cerney on March 10.

Introduced to the public in 1876, Edison’s pen could be used to make multiple copies of handwritten documents. A reciprocating needle driven by a small motor creates a perforated paper stencil that could then be placed in a frame where ink would be applied. It became obsolete by the introduction of the first mass-produced typewriters.

Stephen Duckworth began collecting Victorian Staffordshire pottery religious figures while at university in the 1950s.

Dealers’ Diary

“In terms of price to stand it’s not frightening and and in my point of view it’s the perfect venue

Chelsea has risen up the ranks With two key London fairs cancelled, this long-running event is well placed

A pair of 18th century candelabra for £21,500. A George II mahogany settee commissioned by an aristocratic patron at £58,000. A painting of the death of Nelson for £350,000.

This is a taste of what is on offer at The Chelsea Antiques & Fine Art Fair, which has risen rapidly up the ranks of the London fair calendar since its relaunch last autumn.

Running from March 23-27, it is in the hands of new owner 2Covet, which staged the first new ‘elevated’ version of the event last September.

It has the benefit of fair director Sophie Wood (former manager of the LAPADA fair) to add to its attractive central location at the Chelsea Old Town Hall.

First opened in 1951, the event bills itself as the longest-running antiques fair in the UK and it remains a familiar name among the trade and seasoned buyers. Add to all these advantages the fact that it is one of a shrinking pool of vetted events in London for antiques dealers, and Chelsea could hardly be better placed to draw in fair-hungry crowds.

British picture dealer John Robertson, who stood at the fair for more than a decade, was impressed by the September relaunch and returns to this edition after a gap of around 10 years.

“It’s situated in an extremely well-off part of London where there is a good mix of British buyers and an ever-changing group of international residents,” he says. “In terms of price to stand it’s not frightening and in my point of view it’s the perfect venue.”

Among his stock of pictures are an oil on canvas of a lithographer at his press, offered for £2700, a Stanley Anderson engraving of a violin maker for £1100 and a 1930 Jose Escofet still-life at £5500.

Robertson admits that options in London are fewer than before with dramatic changes to the fair schedule. “The BADA Fair drew me away [from Chelsea] initially, but it is no more,” he says. “There’s a bit of a question mark over good mid-range fairs.”

For years the Chelsea fair overlapped with the annual BADA event, which ran just down the road in Duke of York Square. The latter was sold and rebranded as The

by Frances Allitt

Open Art Fair for 2020, but after its dramatic closure at the start of the first lockdown, it was subject to a series of legal disputes over stand payments and will not be held in 2022. Last month news broke that the LAPADA fair, usually running in Berkeley Square in September, has been scrapped for this year in the face of rising costs. Its future is uncertain.

We’re still standingNot that Chelsea is the only game in town. This staging coincides with Connect Art Fair, another vetted event over in Pall Mall (such overlaps can be an advantage to events, particularly when pulling in day-visitors to the capital).

Art & Antiques Olympia continues, and there is the perennial favourite The Decorative Antiques and Textiles Fair in Battersea, both of which feature antiques and art.

Still, fairs in London are not

what they were pre-pandemic and there is still a need for them. “Lots of us dealers did very well if we had established websites during the pandemic,” says exhibitor Mark Goodger. “Now it’s gone a bit more quiet online. We still need to go out and stand in front of people. It’s all about generating new customers and leads.”

He is bringing a range of antique boxes and accessories including an 18th century tortoiseshell tea chest offered for £16,000 and a naïve Scottish cottage-shaped box, c.1800, priced at £5700.

Goodger adds: “2Covet have done an amazing job. You get the feeling that there is only one direction for them and that’s up. People walking into the fair last year were shocked and surprised. It’s been totally redesigned and is very high end now.”

For this edition the floorplan has been amended to make room

1. Wick Antiques offers this late George II mahogany settee made for Anne Basset, daughter of Edmund Prideaux, 5th Baronet of Netherton, attributed to William Hallett, at The Chelsea Antiques & Fine Art Fair. The c.1756 chair is priced at £58,000.

2. This 1916 French school oil on canvas A Lithographer at his Press is for sale from John Robertson for £2700.

3. Once in the collection of Raine, Countess of Spencer, stepmother to Princess Diana, this pair of George III cast neo-classical silver two-light candelabra were made in London, 1782-83 by John Schofield. Mary Cooke Antiques offers the pair for £21,500.

4. M&D Moir offers this Gallé cameo 16in (40.5cm) tall blue mountain landscape vase, signed, c.1910, for £6250.

5. Mark Goodger has available this red tortoiseshell tea chest with sterling silver tea caddies by Edward Dobson, London, 1774 for £16,000.

okeeffeantiques.co.uk

This late English 19th century gilded bronze single-light hall lantern features a foliated leaf pierced dome surmounting three tapering convex glass panels.

It is held within an ornate scrolling framework decorated with winged cherub heads, scrolling laurel leaves and pierced ribbons, and has the original chain and ceiling rose. While the lantern has the original patination, it is also fully rewired and PAT tested.

It is available from lighting specialist O’Keeffe Antiques, which offers all its lanterns with bulbs and ceiling fixings.

Among the highlights at this month’s Connect Art Fair is an untitled c.1968/71 gouache on paper by British-Guyanese artist Aubrey Williams, offered for £4500 by Middlemarch Art.

The fair returns to the Mall Galleries for the first time since January 2020 (subsequent stagings were called off in the face of coronavirus restrictions) and runs from March 23-27. The dealer-led event focuses on 20th and 21st century paintings and prints.

One of several dealerships new both to the fair and the trade, Middlemarch was set up by Belinda Allen Agar, daughter of Pat and Penny Allen whose collection of Post-war British art went under the hammer at Sotheby’s in 2019. Agar bought her first Keith Vaughan at age 18 and now specialises in affordable Mid-century British artists, particularly works on paper.

Works by Aubrey Williams are currently on show at the Tate Britain exhibition Life Between Islands – Caribbean Art: 1950s to Now.

Agar joins other newcomers to Connect including Nonesuch Gallery, Oliver Brooke-Walder and Geoff Everson Modern Pictures.

Also showing are Elizabeth Harvey-Lee, Blondes Fine Art and Emma Mason.

Organisers and exhibitors Anna Wakerley of Oriel Fine Art and James Manning said in a statement: “Some dealers have traded happily online during the past two years, and this has awakened everyone to the importance of virtual platforms, but nothing can take the place of actually ‘seeing’ an artwork in person.”

for more stands and just over 30 exhibitors are standing. Among the newcomers are Haynes Fine Art, Howards Jewellers, JH Bourdon-Smith and Hickmet Fine Art.

It offers a virtual shopping service led by Gail McLeod and an in-person ‘shopping experience’ with Mark Hill. Extra events celebrating the International Year of Glass are to be led by exhibitors and glass specialists Brian Watson and M&D Moir.

Returning exhibitors include Freya Mitton, who committed to the fair quickly after the last staging.

“Covid changed an enormous amount,” she says. “Before the pandemic there were all these bigger events going ahead. Now the world is more suited to a smaller event. It didn’t feel crowded or overwhelming. It feels like a boutique-type fair, small and perfectly formed.” n

1 What is your next event? As well as exhibiting at Chelsea, the gallery will hold two shows this year. The spring one (May to June) will uniquely address a female theme, displaying early female sculptures from before the 10th century. The autumn one, which runs in parallel with the 25th Asian Art in London, will show classic pottery representing early Chinese civilisations as well as stone sculptures.

2 Have you noticed any collecting trends recently? The Covid situation has pushed more collectors towards purchasing via auction house online sales. Perhaps this year it is the time to draw them back to the galleries/shops by exhibiting best items at local and international art fairs.

3 Is there a ‘holy grail’ item in your area you would love to get? I would like to narrow my focus further in the future to large early Chinese sculptures. Therefore, it would be my ‘final fantasy’ to acquire a complete Northern Dynasties to Tang Dynasty (386-907CE) buddha or bodhisattva.

4 Who do you admire in the trade? Mr Giuseppe Eskenazi is the world’s leading Chinese antique dealer. Not only does he have an exquisite taste, but he is also open to supporting new-generation dealers.

5 Real ale or espresso martini? I don’t need to drink to relax but would rather watch a movie, sing or paint. However, I do prefer strong alcohol, such as Moutai, so espresso martini is definitely my cup of tea.

Dealers’ Diary

Petersfield Antiques Fair returns to the Hampshire town’s Festival Hall after two years’ absence, due to the NHS using the venue for Covid vaccinations.

Forty exhibiting dealers will be standing at this event on March 11-13 (open 10.30am-5pm daily) organised by Caroline Penman.

Popular regulars include David Hickmet with Art Nouveau and Deco bronzes and glass, Schredds with collectable silver, Ashleigh House Fine Art with oil paintings and Terry Robert with his period jewellery and objets vertu.

New exhibitorsAs well as those familiar faces, six new exhibitors also feature: Shaw Edwards with early oak furniture and Quillon Antiques with arms and armour and associated items, both from the West Country; two clock dealers working together, Charles Frodsham and Jeremy Dodd; artist Marilyn Bailey specialising in still-life and flower

Petersfield returns after two-year gapLeft: a selection of fine 18th century Worcester porcelain, part of a large stock of 18th and 19th English porcelain that will be available from Jupiter Antiques at the Petersfield fair. Vase and cover c.1758, £975. Hexagonal bottle vase c.1753, £2500. Worcester cream jug c.1754, £1350.

Below left: six George II Silver-gilt three prong Hanoverian pattern dessert forks, five by Philip Roker London 1743 and one by Isaac Callard London 1749. All are engraved with the Royal Monogram surrounded by the Garter motto and under a crown for King George II. Priced £3600 by Jupiter Antiques.

Right: René Lalique Bacchantes vase available from fair exhibitor Hickmet Fine Art priced at £45,000.

An intricately drawn self-portrait in pen and ink (right) in which the artist likens himself to Albrecht Dürer is at the heart of a new show on Alberto Martini.

Alberto Martini: Masks & Shadows is staged at Laocoon Gallery in St James’s, London. It is the second part of a show featuring 70 of Martini’s works from a single-owner collection. The first part took place last year at Laocoon’s gallery in Rome.

The Italian artist had a taste for the macabre, the theatre and women, all of which are reflected in his dark 1905 drawing. It shows him in formal dress, seated against an indeterminate background with hints of his profession around the composition. Before him are two examples of his works –the real versions of which Laocoon sold during part one of the exhibition last year. It also features Martini’s initials, stylised to mimic Dürer’s famous signature, in the bottom right corner.

Offered for £90,000, the self-portrait is far less grisly or mysterious than many of the works in the show. These include illustrations of scenes from Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Horror, first exhibited in London’s Goupil Gallery in 1914.

“There can be no question that these drawings are the most masterly that have been seen in public for years,” a Times reporter wrote of that show over a century ago. Since then, although Martini remains popular in Italy, his works are little remembered in the UK.

Laocoon has featured more than 70 works from a single owner collection in the two-part show. Along with the Tales of Horror pictures are Shakespeare and Mallarmé illustrations, a mysterious set of drawings titled Poem of the Shadow and an oil painting, Le Flambeau du Pantin. Pencil drawings, watercolours, engravings and lithographs are available.

Penman said: “This first post-pandemic fair will be laid out much as before, but this format can easily be converted to a one-way system if required for Covid-security. There will be plenty of space for social distancing, and there will be a limit to the number of visitors in the building at any one time.”

The Petersfield fair was established in 1973 by Eric Gamlin who also ran the antiques fairs in Farnham, Lymington and Solihull. After his death, his widow, Heather, continued to run Petersfield. In 1999 Penman bought the fair from Heather, and in 2003 ran the last June event. It continued in February and September annually.

After this month’s Petersfield fair, the next is scheduled for early September.

Penman has organised over 400 antiques and art fairs since 1967 at around 50 English venues.

“The armorial head bore some similarity to the Boleyn beast which adorned the palaces of Henry VIII from 1533-36

Tudor connection chewed overArmorial head linked to the palaces of Henry VIII when he was married to Anne Boleyn

Against considerable competition at Sworders’ (25% buyer’s premium) recent Fine Interiors sale, the winner of the most eye-catching lot was probably a carved and painted oak armorial head.

Dated to the first quarter of the 16th century, it raised the possibility of a connection with one of the great names of the Tudor era.

Assuming the form of a crowned leopard’s head, it bears some similarity to the Boleyn beast which adorned the palaces of Henry VIII from 1533-36, the period in which he was married to his second wife Anne. In a condition consummate with age, it came for sale in Stansted Mountfitchet on March 30-31 from a vendor who had owned it for around 40-50 years.

Estimated at £800-1200, it raised plenty of interest before selling to the UK trade at £12,000.

Another example of British (or possibly American) vernacular craft to eclipse estimate was a fine marine ivory, whalebone and baleen inlaid walking stick.

Canes of this type, typically worked from the jawbone of a whale by sailors to be sold to natural history-curious Victorians in the port cities, come in many different guises. Many now appeal beyond the cane collecting community and into the folk art world.

This example was relatively sophisticated: carved to the shaft with spirals and fluting and inlaid with tortoiseshell graduated lozenges. Pitched at £600-800, it sold to a London dealer at £13,000 – a price more akin with the best canes sold in the UK regions in recent years.

Unexpected successes among the sculpture added to the £753,000 hammer total across March 30-31.

Best was a white marble bust by Irish-born Christopher Moore (1790-1863) who made a successful living in London.

His 2ft 4in (72cm) tall bust engraved Mary-Jane, wife of George Evelyn Esquire February 1829 Christopher Moore Sculpsit, raised a lot of interest from the UK and Ireland. There were chips and cracks to the plinth but it was, said the auction house, “a very beautiful portrayal of a member of quite a significant family”.

Estimated at £1000-1500, it went

to a private UK buyer at £10,500.A more expected reaction came

for a c.1810 doll’s house. This 3ft 8in (1.12m) wide recreation of a Regency home opened to reveal four papered and furnished rooms. Carrying hopes of £7000-10,000, it sold to an American private bidder at £13,000.

The house was one of two belonging to the costume designer Evangeline Harrison who had inherited it from her friend Jocelyn Rickards, the artist and costume designer who is widely credited as having defined the ‘Swinging London’ look of the ‘60s.

Top price of the sale came among the ceramics: a dinner service, coffee service and canteen of cutlery in the Flora Danica botanical pattern long the pride of the Royal Copenhagen factory.

First used on a dinner service created by royal command as a gift for Catherine the Great in 1790, it has been in production ever since.

The pieces at Essex dated from c.1960-80 and, while used with some

minor signs of wear, were in good condition. All sold to an international buyer. The 74-piece dinner service took £23,000 (estimate £10,000-15,000), the 64-piece coffee service, £13,500 (£2000-3000) and the 60-piece part-canteen of porcelain and silver-gilt cutlery marked for A Michelsen and Georg Jensen, £18,500 (£3000-5000).

The decorative – and exoticA taste for the decorative and exotic lifted furniture prices.

A c.1900 Louis XVI-style inlaid, parquetry and mahogany marble top commode, after Jean-Henri Riesener, modelled from the Concordant Commode at the Palais de Fontainebleau, went to a European buyer against US interest at a top-estimate £6000. A set of 12 French Louis XV-style carved and polychrome painted and upholstered set of dining chairs, estimated at £400-600 took £4200.

From 19th century north Italy was a mahogany cabinet featuring

geometric and flared inlays of ebony, ivory and boxwood and Renaissance figures in arched panels. The 6ft (1.83m) tall cabinet, which had some minor losses and splits, went a UK dealer within estimate at £5200.

Of similar appeal was a 6ft (1.80m) tall late 19th century Moorish hardwood cabinet on stand, profusely inlaid with ebony and ivory motifs, which doubled expectations in going to a UK private at £2800.

Also from the Middle East, an 18th century 16in (40cm) Ottoman tortoiseshell and mother-of-pearl inlaid table cabinet was extensively damaged but outpaced the £400-600 estimate, selling to a Continental collector at £2300.

By contrast, two classically restrained English Pembroke tables also went well above hopes.

Other than davenports (a decent William IV mahogany example failed to get away against a £600-800 estimate), it’s hard to think of a bigger casualty of the furniture slump than Pembroke tables.

This was reflected in the estimate on a George III Sheraton period example in inlaid satinwood. Pitched at £1000-1500, the 2ft 8in (82cm) long table had a twin oval top with a central burr thuya panel within a tied ribbon and foliate swag border and a tulipwood crossbanded edge above a frieze drawer. It sold to a private buyer at £5000.

A second George III example, but in mahogany and estimated at £400-600, went to a London dealer at £2500.

The vertiginous fall from stardom has long been seen in mahogany bureau bookcases and although attractively small, as these things go, a 6ft 5in x 3ft 1in (1.95m x 94cm) George III example was pitched at £400-600.

The cylinder fall was split in two places but was working properly, opening to reveal a fitted interior with pull-out ratcheted writing surface over three drawers and splay feet. It sold to the London trade for £4200. n

Original photographs of a well-known Pre-Raphaelite beauty – the muse of William Holman Hunt and the mother of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell – sold for £2600 at Sworders (25% buyer’s premium).

The two albumen prints of Julia Prinsep Stephen (1846-95) had been guided at £500-800 as part of the Stansted firm’s Out of The Ordinary two-day sale on April 13-14. They were bought by an American museum.

Many suitorsJulia Jackson was born in Calcutta, capital of British India, in 1846 but moved to England with her family to Little Holland House in Kensington as an infant.

Deemed one of the most beautiful women in England, she attracted many suitors among a circle of family friends that included the good and the great (Benjamin Disraeli, Thomas Carlye, Alfred Lord Tennyson) and artists such as Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Edward Burne-Jones and George Frederick Watts.

A favourite model of photographer

Julia Margaret Cameron (her maternal aunt and godmother), she also sat for the sculptor Thomas Woolner and Holman Hunt – who both proposed marriage when she turned 18. It was said that Holman Hunt only married his second wife, Edith Waugh, because she resembled Julia.

The first of the two photographs shows Julia aged 11, together with her sister Mary Louisa Fisher. It was taken in 1857-58 by either the Manchester photographer James Mudd or Joseph Cundall, another Victorian pioneer who made the first photographic record of the Bayeux Tapestry.

An identical but smaller print to this was part of the famous ‘Signor 1857’ photograph album that Julia Margaret Cameron composed before herself choosing to become a photographer.

Family tragedyThe taker of the second photograph is uncertain although it may be one of more than 50 portraits Cameron made of her niece. It dates from the mid 1860s, when Julia (having declined to become Mrs Holman Hunt) had become

engaged to Herbert Duckworth, a barrister and member of the

Somerset landed gentry.Married for just three years,

she was devastated by her husband’s untimely death and (with three young children) refused to contemplate remarrying for many years. However, in 1878 she accepted the proposal of the writer and critic Leslie Stephen with whom she would have four more children – all of them influential members of what would be known as the Bloomsbury Group.

Right and below: two photographs of Julia Prinsep Stephen, one aged 11 with her sister Mary Louisa Fisher, the other taken in the mid 1860s – £2600 at Sworders.

‘Largest ever’ Anglo-Saxon coin hoard

A rare concert poster promoting The Rolling Stones’ run at the Windsor R&B club in the early Sixties sold for £30,000 on October 28.

The red and black printed single sheet design for the Ricky Tick R&B club night at the Thames Hotel, Windsor, attracted huge interest before selling at Dawsons in Maidenhead. The price, many times the £1000-1500 estimate, is thought to be a record for a Stones poster.

14, 1962 (the first ever gig with Bill Wyman on bass) and appeared there again close to 40 times over the next two years. The poster was designed by Bob McGrath, the leader of the Hogsnort Rupert R&B band who produced a number of poster designs for the club in its glory years.

The largest ever Anglo-Saxon gold coin hoard discovered in the UK has been declared treasure after a complex inquest into the case.

A total of 131 gold coins and four other gold items were discovered by two metal detectorists in west Norfolk between 2014-20.

The hoard would have been buried shortly after 600AD. It comprises 131 gold coins (mostly Frankish tremisses plus nine gold solidi from the Byzantine empire). It also includes four gold objects: a gold bracteate pendant, a small gold bar and two pieces that were part of larger jewellery items (pictured page 6).

Norwich Castle Museum hopes to acquire the hoard, with the support of the British Museum.

The ultimate value will be determined by the Treasure Valuation Committee.

According to experts the group could be worth around £300,000. Nigel Mills, consultant in artefacts and antiquities at Dix Noonan Webb, said he would value the

Coper coup as studio pottery records tumble

Fabergé T-Rex soars at sale

thanks to ATG advert

A rare Fabergé jade carving of a Tyrannosaurus Rex emerged for sale at a US regional auction house to sell for $65,000 (£50,000).

Clarke Auctions in Larchmont, New York, was grateful to BBC Antiques Roadshow specialist Geoffrey Munn for the discovery after he spotted it, unattributed, in an Antiques Trade Gazette advert.

At almost 6in (15cm) across, the nephrite raptor with diamond eyes is among the larger Fabergé hardstone carvings but its importance lies in its subject matter. Very few Fabergé models of dinosaurs are recorded.

Munn, who spent close to 50 years at London jeweller Wartski, says he knows of just three (the others are a triceratops and a pterodactyl). He immediately recognised this piece (advertised in ATG No 2515, page 47) as one he had featured in his book Wartski The First 150 Years.

Prior to the sale he told ATG: “This is a long lost, extremely rare, and potentially valuable carving. It was sold by the Russian [state] to Wartski in the 1920s or early 30s and during my long career I never heard of it again. He added: “I thought it best to tell the auctioneers in case it

A group of antique snuff boxes has been recovered after a theft more than 40 years ago. The objects had been stolen from Temple Newsam in Leeds in a 1979 incident dubbed The Fulford Thefts.

Seven of the 25 18th and 19th century boxes have been recovered with a value of around £100,000.

“When I started in the art business, the ATG was the first place I went for news of forthcoming sales, and to find out what was going in the trade.

That it is still the first place I go, decades later, and after so much change in the media world, is testament to what an invaluable source it still is.”

“The ATG has always been the constant to which I’ve turned for all the trends, results, stories and of course to see what’s coming up for sale by auction and through the trade. A brilliant source for increasing knowledge and fair and honest reporting.

Like a true friend, it has always been there for me every Tuesday in the post. I always look forward to thumbing through it. A truly informative read, both online and in hard copy.”

On the scent of postersItalian liqueur tempts buyer to pay highest price at dedicated sale

£1 = $1.34More than 400 lots of posters promoting a wide range of subjects from entertainment to food and drink, transport to winter sports, featured in the latest dedicated auction to be held by Swann (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) in New York on February 24.

Top billing at $17,000 (£12,685) went to an early 20th century era design by the prolific Italian poster artist Marcello Dudovich (1878-1962) advertising Liquore Strega.

Dudovich worked for all the major Italian companies throughout his long career and is probably best known for his posters promoting

the Italian department stores Mele and À La Rinascente. This poster dates from 1906 when he returned to the Milanese printing company G Ricordi, where he spent most of his time until the First World War, following a six-year stint at Chappuis in Boulogne from 1899-1906.

The large poster, which measures 6ft 8in x 4ft x 9in (2.03 x 1.45m) and was guided as condition B+, depicts a woman leaning over a table to savour the scent of a glass of liqueur with its diffused light illuminating her, face, figure and the table itself. It had been estimated at $6000-9000.

Another of the best-sellers, making three times the estimate at $15,000 (£11,195), was a 2ft 10in x 15in (86 x 38cm) poster from 1930 by Zig (Louis Gaudin ?-1936) created for

Central Publicité, Paris, advertising Josephine Baker at the Casino de Paris. It showed the American-born singer and dancer with a leopard holding a bouquet of flowers.

The auction featured a large selection of posters promoting travel and skiing. The top ski poster price went to a design by the Swiss artist Martin Peikert (1901-75). His snowy rendition of Champéry, a 3ft 2in x 2ft 1in (98 x 63cm) poster from 1955 for Klausfelder of Vevey realised $14,000 (£10,450) against a $7000-10,000 guide.

Mucha favouritesAs so often in poster auctions, several examples by Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939), the supremo of Art Nouveau poster design, were among the top

French designs set to shine in an international selection

1. Marcello Dudovich’s 1906 poster for Liquore Strega – $17,000 (£12,685) at Swann.

2. Louis Gaudin’s (Zig’s) 1930 poster to promote Josephine Baker at the Casino de Paris – $15,000 (£11,195).

3. Champéry, Martin Peikert’s ski poster – $14,000 (£10,450).

4. A stylish streamlined rendition of a racing car features in a 1934 poster for the Montreux Grand Prix by the Swiss artist Johannnes Handschin (1899-1948). The 4ft 2½in x 2ft 11½in (1.28m x 90cm) design, printed by Klausfelder and guided condition A, was another of the top-sellers at Swann, making $11,000 (£8210).

lots, led by a pair of panels from 1899 printed for F Champenois, Paris.

The 2ft 6in x 12¾in (77 x 32cm) panels for La Plume and Primevere (quill pen and primose), were guided condition B and made a within-estimate $15,000 (£11,195). n

Another 425 lots of rare and vintage posters will also be up for sale in New York this month at Poster Auction International on March 20.

Half-a-dozen designs by the French Art Deco artist Paul Colin (1892-1986) will feature, among them this 2ft 7½in x 3ft 11½in (80cm x 1.21m) poster from 1930 printed in Paris to announce the opening of new rooms at the city’s Musée d’Ethnographie (left). It depicts a large Easter Island head from the museum along with a mask from Colin’s own collection is guided condition A and the estimate is $7000-9000.

The auction kicks off with 29 lots of cycling posters, among them this 1896 French poster by Fernand Fernel (1872-1934) for Georges Richard bicycles depicting a family of four on their bikes and tandem (right).

Printed by J van Gindertaele, Paris, it measures 4ft 4½in x 3ft 2¾in (1.3 m x 98m), is guided condition B and is estimated at $3000-4000.

Christie’s Jewels has appointed Eleanor Walper as associate vice president and specialist at Christie’s in Los Angeles.

Walper started her career at the saleroom in 2014. She has also worked at Bonhams and The New York Loan Company. At Christie’s she will be responsible for client development on the West Coast of the US.

Bonhams Los Angeles has appointed Joe Baratta as senior vice-president, head of trusts & estates for the West Coast. He will “support the region’s expansive market and pursue new areas of opportunity”.

Baratta, a licensed appraiser and auctioneer, will be responsible for “liaising with professional fiduciaries, attorneys, CPAs, trust officers”, and advising on the “appraisal and sale of their clients’ estate collections

ranging from fine art and jewellery to collectable motor cars”.

Before joining Bonhams, he spent 20 years at Abell Auctions as senior vice president, business development & valuations, where he brought to market numerous private collections and multi-million-dollar estate sales.

The highlight of the various owners’ sale held by Clarke (25% buyer’s premium) on February 6 proved, as expected, to be the French artist Fernand Leger’s (1881-1955) gouache Les Loisirs which was previewed in ATG No 2528.

The 21 x 17in (53 x 43cm) gouache on paper from c.1954, initialled lower right, had a certificate of authenticity from the Comité Léger in Paris. From a starting bid of $125,000 four bidders drove the final price to a mid-estimate $300,000 (£223,880) at the sale in Larchmont, New York. It sold to a private collector in the US.

Contemplating Cabanel The fine art section of the sale also featured an earlier work by a French artist, Alexandre Cabanel (1823-89).

The academic and historical painter’s best-known work is probably his Birth of Venus which was purchased by Napoleon III and is now in the Musée d’Orsay.

Leisurely Leger at the seaside leads the way in NY

Contemplation or The Italian Servant, depicted a young woman seated on the ground. It had a provenance to the collection of WP Wilstach, Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art; was

sold at Freeman’s Philadelphia in 1954 and then resided in a private collection.

The painting easily outstripped a modest $15,000-20,000 guide to sell for $55,000 (£41,045).

Hindman will cover four centuries of American artists and craftsmen in its March 10-11 American Furniture, Folk & Decorative Arts auction in Cincinatti.

Shown left, guided at $60,000-80,000, is a Gothic Revival carved mahogany tall case No 22 astronomical regulator by Howard and Co, Boston, Massachusetts.

“To establish the event again... stall and entry prices will be held at the 2019 level

Flea reborn under new ownerSociety announces Carmarthen event dates and stall and entry prices to be held at 2019 level

The United Counties Agricultural and Hunters’ Society, owner of the Carmarthen Showground, is ready to stage its first fleamarket organised under the banner FleaForAll.

This will be held at the venue on Sunday, April 24, and then monthly.

As reported in ATG No 2530 (February 19), dealers Carol and Robert Pugh of Towy Events, who ran this popular market for 30 years, sold the FleaForAll event to the society earlier this year.

Chairman of the society Lyn Davies said: “I would like to thank Robert for all the hard work he has done for the society, of which he was a trustee for many years, and it is

by Joan Porter

very much hoped we will welcome Carol and Robert as exhibitors at future FleaForAll events.

“To establish the event again, despite high inflationary pressures at the moment, stall and entry prices will be held at the 2019 level to benefit both exhibitors and visitors, at least for 2022.”

On the administration side, all exhibitors at the FleaForAll markets will be contacted with booking forms.

Anyone wishing to make enquiries about exhibiting or visiting can contact Mair James on 01267 232141 or via email at [email protected] n

Some people like to call their antiques businesses by names that are personal to them and which have a strong family connection, such as Noble Salvages in Swadlincote and Peggy McCools in Warrington.

Leigh Purnell, on the other hand, has named her vintage shop Edna Falcon after her much-loved, but now sadly deceased hen, so called as she liked to perch on Purnell’s arm “like a falcon”.

The shop is in Llanfairfechan in Conwy, north Wales, and is set to open this month with stock sourced from auction rooms, some of which has been taking up space at her crowded home in Anglesey which she shares with boyfriend Simon plus 11 rescued chickens, a dozen cats, four turkeys and a dog.

Purnell, who runs workshops with an outdoor learning group and who is also learning Welsh, has always loved antiques and has been a collector for years.

Her shop will include “quirky gifts, vintage furniture, ceramics, silver and militaria” said Purnell, adding: “It’s such a lovely community in Llanfairfechan and people have been so interested in the shop, knocking on the window and asking when it will open.”

“It is with sincere uplifted spirits that I can confirm without any doubt that the Benson Antiques Fair will take place on Sunday, March 20.” This is Joy O’Meara of Jay Fairs announcing the start of this season’s monthly fairs at the village hall in the Oxfordshire village of Benson. The venue had been closed since last June for refurbishment plus Covid restrictions.

Described by one visitor as “a cocktail of the senses when you step inside,” the Brothership Studio in Hertford offers the work of seven artists plus guests across two studios and galleries in the town.

“Prices are from £35 for prints all the way up to Peter Blake pieces worth £10,000,” said curator Emma Morgan.

Sisters Kate Nunn and Georgina Simmons, trading as Daffodils and Rhubarb, deal in vintage online and have launched a pop-up shop in the Brothership’s Bull Plain studio which will run until May.

Nunn said: “Our vintage card art is doing brilliantly and we’re hoping to collaborate on vintage magazine articles to create art pieces.” She added: “It’s been wonderful working with creatives and inspiring to think how we can merge contemporary art with vintage pieces and texts.”

Pughs step down from Carmarthen but the popular event will continueOrganisers put control into fresh hands after nearly 30 years of organising the fleamarket

Carol and Robert Pugh, directors of Towy Events which organises the Carmarthen Antiques and Fleamarket, have announced they are stepping down from running this event.

The event will continue at the United Counties Showground, organised by the United Counties Agricultural Society which owns and runs the venue under the name Flea For All, Towy Events’ banner for this event. Towy Events as an organisation, which at one time ran home and garden shows, will cease to operate.

Robert said: “It is nearly 30 years

by Joan Porter

since our first inaugural fair at the showground. then under the banner of Towy Antiques Fairs. during which time the trade has seen many changes.

The original antiques events gradually emerged into the enormously popular antiques and fleamarkets of recent years.

“The recent pause in events due to

the pandemic, with the showground being used as a testing/vaccination centre, brought us to the decision that fresh hands were needed to take the antiques and fleamarket forward.”

The last fleamarket was held nearly two years ago in March 2020.

The Antique Scientific Instruments Fair ran for 30-plus years but sadly is no more, with its last outing taking place under the banner of the Scientific Instrument Society held as part of the Antique Arms Fair in London in September 2019. Fletcher Wallis was a regular exhibitor at the specialist fairs since they began in 1986 and has been dealing in antique scientific instruments, medical antiques and corkscrews in Portobello Road’s Dolphin Arcade for 40 years as well as the specialist website Fleaglass.

Talking about the demise of the event, he said: “Many of the exhibitors at the fair have migrated onto the Fleaglass website including a number from Europe.“The site has around 50 dealers from the UK, Europe, Canada and Israel selling scientific and medical antiques from £50 to £10,000 with the most popular for the last few years being microscopes which sell very quickly.“Good complex surgical sets are also good sellers as are early 17th and 18th century instruments. Drawing instruments and calculating devices are popular.”Wallis added: “I am looking forward to the summer’s trading in Portobello and hopefully the return of European and American buyers who have been much missed.” One of the organisers of the scientific instruments fair was Matt Nunn, who joined forces with dealer Keith Petts to launch the specialist auction house Flints in 2017. Based in Berkshire, the auction house runs regular sales of antique scientific and medical instruments.Petts said: “In the medical field it’s the best quality items where demand has remained strong. Large and original domestic medicine chests and good 18th/19th century surgical instrument sets.”

New trends? “Young buyers with a taste for the

bizarre. Human skulls used as teaching aids for students fetch very good prices even though the market has contracted geographically since Brexit – taking human remains through Customs can be less than straightforward.

60-dealer event at the showground in May 1993 with “lots of people coming to help including Caroline Penman who was in charge of the car park and Ann and David Stroud, who ran the Shepton Antiques Fair, helping out as well as taking a stand”.

Robert, a specialist in Welsh pottery, will continue to stand at the antiques and fleamarket which is renowned for its Welsh emphasis.

He said: “We are most grateful for the enormous support of all the dealers over the years as well as the many regular visitors who made the whole thing such a great success and who are no doubt keen for the fairs to return to Carmarthen once more.” n

Yes, it has been three years but the lack of clarity on an actual date is nerve rackingI must take exception to the letter from Pete Matthews, published in your March 5 issue (ATG No 2532), in which he tells the trade to stop moaning about the Ivory Act.

While I would be the first to allow that it has been an unforeseen blessing that we have had three years since the passing of the act in which to continue trading antique ivory in this country, the uncertainty has been nerve racking.

Only last week, I hesitated, and then decided not to buy a very good ivory netsuke at auction for fear that the shutter would come down before I could sell it on.

We would all like clarity in the form of an actual date

in order to know how long we have to prosecute a trade which, for now, remains entirely legal.

What Mr Matthews does not seem to realise is that the act will potentially reduce my turnover by 50%. It remains to be seen whether that is sustainable.

The vase that helped Doulton shine in Paris

‘Four months’ before ivory ban becomes law

Like other manufacturers, Doulton took great trouble with the wares

submitted to international exhibitions.

At the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1878 the firm put on a

spectacular display, building an elaborate façade on the Street

of Nations replicating the architectural terracottas of its newly

completed Lambeth headquarters (Southbank House built

between 1876-78). Sir Henry Doulton was made a Chevalier of

the Légion d’honneur shortly afterwards.

Among the items on show was this monumental vase from

the relatively new ‘faience’ range. Standing 4ft 4in (1.3m) high, it

draws on a number of fashionable artistic genres – including the

Arts & Crafts movement and historicism – in a decorative scheme

inspired by classical mythology.

To the body, sirens mourn the departure of a rowing boat, while sea

creatures, mermen and mermaids populate the neck and the foot. As

well as impressed Doulton Lambeth marks, it is inscribed Exposition de

Paris 1878 (see detail below).The decoration (apparently unsigned) is probably by two graduates from

the nearby Lambeth School of Art: John P Hewitt providing the painting

and George Tinworth the modelling. Doulton’s ‘Rembrandt of Clay’ created

a series of works for the 1878 exhibition including a fountain based on

subjects from the New Testament sold for £22,000 at Bonhams in 2008.

This vase was lot number three in the mammoth Adam Partridge sale

held in Macclesfield from February 15-18 and part of a large collection

of exhibition-related memorabilia. It was in generally good condition,

although the iron rod that would once have held the three sections together

is missing. Estimated at £800-1200, it took £15,000 (plus 20% buyer’s

premium inc VAT). It sold to one

of two private collectors in the

room competing against five phone

bidders.Roland Arkell

Salvo, the trade community for architectural

antiques and salvage, is launching a labelling

initiative to push the environmental credentials

of reclaimed materials.

The Truly Reclaimed campaign is designed to

provide assurance that a product is genuinely

being reused and therefore offers a significant

reduction in carbon emissions.

“Antique and reclaimed materials have always

been celebrated for their connection with

history, but they are increasingly recognised for

the environmental value that reuse brings to

living spaces,” says Sara Morel, Salvo’s CEO.

Salvo pushes label for the Truly Reclaimed

by Laura Chesters

The ATG understands the trade will have until

June before the terms of the Ivory Act 2018

come into force. Following complaints regarding the lack of

clarity around the ‘spring 2022’ enforcement

date, the Department for Environment, Food

and Rural Affairs (Defra) has suggested there

will be an approximate four-month period for

Write to ATG at:[email protected]

Re: Michael Leigh Mallory’s metal detecting find of the Henry III gold penny sold by Spink (ATG No 2528).

Michael Leigh Mallory was either blessed or lucky with the find of this coin sold for £540,000, but as my experience of detecting with him shows, detecting can follow an entertaining pattern of varied fortunes.

Michael and I are friends of 22 years; we detected together for several years around 2008-12. We each purchased identical Bulgarian-made Gold Mask detectors and later both of us enthusiastically upgraded from model 1 to model 3+.

Notable, however, was the frequency of ‘coinciding finds’ made as we two friends detected alongside each other as both detectors would often bleep simultaneously.

The field near Hemyock where the celebrated Henry III coin was found was one of our early detecting sites. I clearly recall that as we passed within

what I now realise was within 5-15ft of this coin, he and I simultaneously yelled ‘coin signal!’

He uncovered a good condition 1596 silver half groat of Elizabeth 1 – while my spade produced a corroded 1914 copper ha’penny.

On a different area of the same farm, while detecting an ancient footpath Mike dug three good condition silver coins dating between 1815-1915 while I simultaneously found respectively: a belt buckle, a suitcase fastener and a Georgian furniture key... Both of us were following the exact same track.

At another local Blackdown Hills

farm, while I was lovingly uncovering a Victorian grocer’s 1/4lb weight he uncovered a valuable Georgian period falconer’s silver identity leg tag identifying the falcon owner as being from an important Somerset manor house.

On another occasion locally, he unearthed a vintage car bonnet mascot of a classical maiden while I found a lost bath tap.

It all became part of a long pattern of usually Mike finding hammered silver coins, while I found squashed beer cans. Eventually I found this quite funny.

I remember our first fishing trip together... guess what? I caught a 2lb bass while he landed a 16lb cod.

I still cherish my musket ball and my 1937 half-crown. Am I hard-done-by? Definitely not, but I should be asking Michael about next week’s lottery numbers!

The January series of Old Master auctions at Sotheby’s New York was led by a Sandro Botticelli (c.1445-1510) painting for the second year running.Having sold Young Man Holding a Roundel for $80m (£58.4m) in 2021, this time the auction house offered The Man of Sorrows with an estimate ‘in excess of $40m’.Before the auction on January 27, a third-party guarantee was arranged to ensure it would sell. On the day, it drew a l imited competition and was knocked dow n s l i g ht l y b e low expectations at $39.3m (£29.3m) to a buyer on the phone. With premium, the price was $45.4m.

Since then, it remained in the same family collection until the present sale.Back in 1963 it was sold as a fully ascribed Botticelli, although it hasn’t always been

considered an autograph picture. In the 1978 catalogue raisonné by Botticelli scholar Ronald Lightbown, it was listed among the ‘workshop and school pictures’.Having been reassessed more recently, it appeared as an autograph picture at a dedicated Botticelli exhibition at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt in 2009-10. The attribution has been endorsed by Laurence Kanter, chief curator of European art at Yale University, and Keith Christiansen, chairman of the department of European paintings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, according to Sotheby’s.

The sum for the work raised around half of the $91m (£67.9m) total from the 55-lot sale, with 41 lots (74.5%) finding buyers.

August 16, 1357, at the moment when gold was beginning to trickle back into European commerce after nearly 500 years.Struck by the king’s goldsmith William Fitzotto of Gloucester at twice the weight of a silver penny, with a value of 20 pence, one side of the coin shows Henry in the guise of England’s first patron saint Edward the Confessor, on his throne on the Great Pavement in Westminster Abbey.

The English archaeologist and numismatist Sir John Evans considered it the first ‘true’ portrait of an English king’. To the reverse is a cross with lobed terminals (designed to prevent ‘clipping’) and five-leafed petals of the planta genista – the yellow flower that gave the Plantaganet dynasty its name.Spink’s gold penny is thought to be the UK’s most valuable single coin find to date. Its sale represents a life-changing event for Michael Leigh-Mallory, 52, a retired ecologist from Cullompton who found the coin buried in just 4in (10cm) of soil on local farmland near the

vil lage of Hemyock on September 26 last year. Not realising what it was, he posted a picture of the coin on social media, where it was spotted by a Spink specialist. The ‘delightfully fresh’ condition suggests it was lost shortly after it was struck. And remarkably, following research by David Carpenter, professor of medieval history at King’s College London and a Henry

III specialist, it is possible to speculate who may have lost it. A good candidate is John de Hyden, Lord of Hemyock Manor. In 1357 he served on the retinue of the Earls of Devon during the Welsh campaign where over 37,000 gold pennies were distributed. One of eight knownUltimately the issue was not successful – many were melted down within a matter of months as the price of gold rose above the face value.

This coin adds one more to a small corpus of now just eight coins featuring four different die types. It shares a reverse die with the Conte specimen found

in 2001 (now in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge) and the same ‘first obverse die’ with a coin in the British Museum since 1810. It appears to cement the proposed sequence of dies Sir John Evans posited in 1900. The coin is one of only four avai lable to commerce although there is a recent precedent: in January 2021, Heritage in Dallas sold another (previously sold at a Spink-Christie’s auction in 1996 at £145,000) for $600,000 (£465,000). Spink’s coin was estimated at £200,000-300,000.Leigh-Mallory will now split the proceeds of the sale with the landowner (under the terms

of the Treasure Act) and plans to use his windfall to help fund his children’s education. The day after the sale he made a pilgrimage to Westminster Abbey to pay his respects at the tomb of Henry III. In a first for numismatics, the second lot of the auction was an NFT (non-fungible token – a unit of data stored on a digital ledger) created and sold to benefit charities chosen by the vendor and Spink. The six-second moving graphic of the coin being revealed after 765 years in the soil, complete with ownership title to its private and commercial licences, took a further £15,000.

Stodel wins the £26,000 trophy

Henry III gold penny is ‘best ever’ coin find


koopman rare art

The potent mix of China, horseracing and the 1851 Great Exhibition yielded a strong price for this splendid ‘export’ silver trophy at Lawrences in Crewkerne on January 18.

Standing 16in (40cm) high, chased with foliage, birds and scrolls, and applied with two dragon handles, it has a shield inscribed Hong Kong Races 1850 Celestial Cup, Presented by D Jardine Esq won by Mr Dudgeon’s Great Western. Ridden by J King Esq, HM 59th Regt. It is struck to the pedestal base with both pseudo hallmarks and the mark KHC for the maker-retailer Khecheong of Old China Street, Canton.

Unbroken provenanceAs pointed out in an ATG preview, the cup was on display at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and is recorded in Robert Hunt’s handbook to the event: ‘Two silver cups, the Celestial Cup presented at Hong Kong Races, 1850 and a smaller cup of silver… are shown among the Chinese contribution…’

Passed by descent in the Somerset family of the owner of ‘Mr Dudgeon’, it had an unbroken provenance and is a relatively early Hong Kong racing trophy. It was only after the first Opium War (1839-42) that the treaty port was ceded to the British, its population numbering just 32,983 in the census of 1851.

Hopes of £2000-2500 were modest in the context of a strong market for Chinese silver (a similarly decorated teapot by Khecheong sold for $6500 at Christie’s sale of the Posner collection of Chinese export silver in August 2019). Instead bidding reached £26,000 (plus 25% buyer’s

premium), at which point it was bought for stock by specialist dealer S&J Stodel of the London Silver Vaults.

“The cup is an outstanding piece of Chinese export silver, but more than that, it has a wonderful story,” Stephen and

A newly discovered Henry III ‘gold penny’, one of the most fabled coins in all of British numismatics, has sold for £540,000 (plus 20% buyer’s premium).

Gregory Edmund, senior numismatist and auctioneer at Spink, described the metal-detecting find, sold in a special evening sale on January 23, as “on par with the discoveries of Coenwulf’s gold mancus in 2001 and the Edward III double-leopard in 2006”.

Those coins had sold for £200,000 and £400,000 respectively, each time breaking the record for an English coin.

ARC form now readyRegarding your article in ATG No 2531 ‘Four months’ before ivory ban becomes law’, I fail to see why the trade is ‘frustrated’ and describe the process as chaotic.

The bill was passed three years ago! The descriptions of the law and exemptions are clear – over three years now to decide what to do with an item.

The failure is the antiques trade and has always been. The failure to

Hear hear to Mr Michael Baggott, hopefully trying to save works of art in ivory objects (Letters, ATG No 2530).

Yes, we must protect all animals in this day and age, but to destroy totally ancient ivory which has been beautifully carved should be a criminal act in itself.

We can’t change history but surely we must try and preserve it in whatever form it takes.

Ivory Act: stop moaning, you had three years to prepare

Destroying totally ancient ivory is a criminal act itself

show any proper proof of age and failure to, in many cases, recognise ivory, as many descriptions are still ‘bone or ivory’ or possibly ivory.

So please stop moaning, the situation could have been prevented by the antiques trade recognising the issue over ivory many years ago but they chose to ignore it.

ARC launched to save ivory antiques from the scrap bin – once it’s gone it’s gone forever

“We simply love antiques which is why we have to save them – nobody else will

Write to ATG at:[email protected]

As reported on the front page of this week’s ATG, it appears the Ivory Act will, after much delay, soon be brought into force. This does not mean the fight for antiques is over; it means it has just begun.For many years wildlife NGOs have held ‘Ivory Surrender Days’ across the UK with pledges that every single item be destroyed, often being thrown through an industrial shredder or crusher. There is no record of what historical objects have been lost.

As the new law comes into force, criminalising the sale of antiques, I fear this may be presented as the only course of action for owners of unwanted antique ivory so I have set up an alternative – the Antiques Rescue Centre – trying to build an ARC to save all our history.Rallying cryIts success will depend on how many in our industry are willing to help. Auctioneers and dealers up and down the country are most likely to be a member of the public’s first point of contact when they wish to dispose of inherited collections.

Many owners, I suspect, will not even be aware of the new legislation. When presented with an antique object which it is no longer legal to sell and which the owner no longer wants, we can save it from the bin or the scrap man if gifting it to the Antiques Rescue Centre is now an option. If auctioneers and dealers can put these items to one side we will collect them (somehow) and begin to list and catalogue them as a nascent national collection online and hopefully in

I refer to the letter from Stephen Ferder printed in ATG No 2529 on the puzzle of the ‘two’ miniatures by William Wood (sold at auction on January 6 and reviewed in ATG No 2527).

Mr Ferder is quite correct in noting that only the male sitter is by the miniaturist William Wood. Wood often signed the backing card and as that was then covered by the backing paper, he signed that too. In fact, there has been an ongoing project to ‘decode’ the strange amalgamation of letters that he often included along with his signature (this can be seen on the backing paper of this miniature as DJLE).

The lady is indeed later – her costume dating to the early 1840s – and is not painted in Wood’s distinctive, widely hatched technique.I hope this clears up the mystery!

time in a dedicated physical centre. The aim is that every member of the public should eventually consider first saving not scrapping any antique item which it is no longer legal to sell.This particularly applies to mixed-media objects which are more readily threatened by destruction under the new law because of the low de minimis rule of 10%. As auctioneers and dealers, you may find an owner insists on removing ivory elements of an object (teapot handles, handles of serving pieces, etc) to realise a small bullion value. This is hard but I’d ask everyone to try and persuade the owners not to do this but to donate the item to the ARC instead.Some will and clearly some won’t and the object will be destroyed. In the latter case I would ask for before and after images of every piece emailed to the address below to be (anonymously) shared with the public. The reason is that the wildlife NGOs and MPs who campaigned so hard for this law saw no downside

to it, hoping any destruction would occur privately by owners out of the glare of public scrutiny. If we can clearly show the direct effect of this law on our cultural heritage we may, slowly, help turn public opinion. This law will never now be repealed but with the facts of what we’re losing and also showing what we are able to save, we may in the future, be able to lobby to increase the level of the de minimis and thereby save hundreds of thousands more objects from destruction.So what can we do? At this point I’m just one man with a phone so really anything you can do will help.If you’re an auctioneer please ask and collect antique items owners wish to donate to the ARC.If you’re a dealer, tell people who own antiques soon to be illegal that this is an option at every opportunity.If you’re a collector, please inform other members of societies or clubs that objects soon illegal to sell may be gifted to the ARC.

If you run a courier service and

want to help with the logistics of collecting objects from across the country, please help.If you’re a large trade organisation, please help both in publicising the ARC and arranging our own surrender days up and down the country for unwanted ivory antiques, pledging that every item will be saved.If you’re a specialist, please help in cataloguing the items the ARC is gifted.

If you’re a lawyer, we will need advice in months to come on establishing the ARC as a registered charity. And if you can do none of the above, then please do the most important job and simply follow the social media account of the Antiques Rescue Centre and get the message out to the wider British public.We need as much publicity and clout as possible in a world where the number of followers you have often decides your political sway. The disaster that’s coming, can, if we work together, be largely avoided, but let’s not kid ourselves – it’s going to be a hard slog.

But once these objects are gone they’re gone forever. Almost everyone involved in the world of antiques could make more money doing something else. We do this job because we love the history, the artistry and the beauty. We simply love antiques which is why it has to be us that saves them; nobody else will.Contact by email: [email protected]: The Antiques Rescue Centre @antiquesrescue
