Coper coup as studio pottery records tumble

Records were set for studio pottery when the collection of the late New York art dealer Dr John P Driscoll was sold last week.

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

Right: Fabergé nephrite jade figure of a Tyrannosaurus Rex with rose cut diamond eyes – $65,000 (£50,000) at Clarke Auctions in New York.

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.

For royal watchers in the sale-room, the latter part of 2021 promises to be quite a boon.

Memorabilia and archive material from two sources with close connections to senior British royals comes for sale at Gorringe’s and Chorley’s.

Gorringe’s of Lewes is offer-ing a previously unpublished collection of letters, photo-graphs and ephemera relating to the queen. It comes via descent from Michael H Fare-brother, a former officer in the Grenadier Guards who became a private tutor to the Prince of Wales in his early life.

The letters relate to matters of both private and public life providing what the saleroom terms “an intimate glimpse into day-to-day life in the royal household in the early 1950s”.

Among the 11 letters to Fare-brother is one dated July 30,

was lost to posterity forever.”This piece, representing a tyrannosaur

as it was understood to look at the time, dates from c.1910, not long after the discovery of the first tyrannosaur bones. Fossil hunter Barnum Brown found the first remains in Hell Creek, Montana, in 1902 followed by a near complete skeleton in 1908.

Dinosaur models would have been extremely topical but – less saccharine than most Fabergé animals – perhaps made to sate the interest of a particular client. The link to the sales by the Antikvariat (the department of the

The archive will be offered as a single lot, estimated at £50,000-80,000.

Meanwhile, Gloucestershire saleroom Chorley’s is selling approximately 100 lots from the estate of Lord Charteris of Amisfield, the longest-serving assistant private secretary to the queen.

He was recently character-ised in the Netflix series The Crown which latched on to his reputation as the queen’s

favourite courtier. The Novem-ber 23-24 auction will offer presents from the Prince of Wales to Lord and Lady Char-teris, several watercolours by his friend Hugh Casson (1910-99) and a photo signed by both the queen and Prince Charles showing them sitting with a group of statesmen.

The Fabergé T-Rex, which would doubtless be priced well into six figures in perfect condition, had not survived the years unscathed. There is now a repair to breaks to a leg and a toe and, most compromising, its ‘arms’ have been broken and ‘polished out’ in an effort to disguise the problem.

Nonetheless, when it came for sale at Clarke with a revised catalogue description on Sunday November 7, the original estimate of just $800-1200 had already been far surpassed by

commission bids. Ultimately it sold at $65,000 (£50,000) plus 25% buyer’s premium.

The US has been the source of several important Fabergé rediscoveries in recent years. The forthcoming exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum titled Fabergé in London: Romance to Revolution (opening in late November) includes two such pieces.

These are the Third Imperial Egg uncovered in the Midwest in 2012 and bought by Wartski on behalf of a collector and a carved hardstone figure of an imperial bodyguard bought by Wartski for $5.2m at Stair Galleries in 2013. Roland Arkell

role in 1977, Lord Charteris moved to the Cotswolds village of Wood Stanway, and the fol-lowing year was appointed Provost of Eton College.

Several photographs of Charteris seated with members of the Eton Political Society, including Boris Johnson, his brother Leo and Jacob Rees-Mogg, will be offered.

Left: the recovered snuff boxes back at Temple Newsam.

The French, Swiss and German boxes became part of the museum’s collection at the start of the Second World War following a donation by local art collector and entrepreneur Frank Fulford.

No trace of the items had emerged until earlier this year when the group of seven were

consigned to a London auc-tion. The firm ran its checks with Art Loss Register which spotted they matched an entry on its stolen art database. The museum registrar registered the January 1979 theft in 2015.

After a formal accession process with input from ALR, the consignor and Zurich Municipal Insurance (the insurance company involved),

the objects have been returned to Temple Newsam. Adam Toole, keeper at Temple Newsam, said: “We’re abso-lutely thrilled to see the boxes return home and are immeas-urably grateful to the Art Loss Register.”

ALR and Temple Newsam urge the trade to look out for the missing 18 items which include an 18th century snuff

box with basket and bagpipe by Jean-Marie Tiron, an 18th cen-tury German gold box and an

18th century English box with panels of moss-agate and rococo scrollwork.

Dealer offers newly discovered Lely

A newly discovered portrait by Sir Peter Lely (1618-80) of a civil war soldier is up for sale with dealership Peter Harrison Fine Art.

The portrait of Major Robert Thompson (1622-95), shown right, is priced in the region of £40,000.

Harrison bought the unattributed portrait painted c.1655 at an auction in Italy in 2020 and began research based on a label for the early 20th century Paris dealership Galerie Sedelmeyer.

A Sedelmeyer catalogue c.1907 described the sitter as Thompson, a naval commissioner whose family counted Oliver Cromwell as a friend. Thompson was considered a potential husband for one of Cromwell’s daugh-ters at some point and this portrait was painted in the mid-1650s when Thomp-son was out to impress.

Harrison said: “By being painted in gilt armour, which would have cost huge

(1920-81) from 1968. It took a mighty £520,000 (plus 26/21/14.5% buyer’s premium) – an auction record for Coper that bettered the £305,000 taken for a Cycladic Arrow Head at Bearnes Hamp-ton & Littlewood in Exeter in 2018.

The top six lots in the The Art of Fire: Selections from the Dr John P Driscoll Collection sale were all by Coper. Ben Williams, Phillips’ consult-ant, said: “During the sale we saw the record for Hans Coper broken a number of times, once in a 15-minute bidding war for his monumental ‘Writhlington School’ pot, which achieved seven times the low estimate [£440,000 hammer price], and again for his monu-mental ovoid pot, which sold for eight times the low estimate.”

Among a total of 28 auction records for studio potters was a new high for Bernard Leach (1887-1979). His Tree of Life charger sold at £77,000, bettering the previous record of £40,000 bid for a pair of framed tile panels at Christie’s in 2018. Auction highs were also posted for James Tower, Michael Cardew, Richard Batterham, Alison Britton, Akiko Hirai and both David and Janet Leach.

The top-selling work by Lucie Rie was a footed bowl selling at a hammer

price of £165,000. However, this did not break the previous record set by Sothe-by’s in April 22 this year of $265,000 (£191,330).

Marijke Varrall-Jones, director of Maak, said the sale of Driscoll’s collec-tion will enable the market to re-evaluate “the cultural significance of studio ceramics”. She added: “John’s eye for quality and nose for a story has brought us a collection that has made history and will resonate for years to come.”

Driscoll specialised in Hudson River School paintings but his personal col-lection focused on 20th century British studio ceramics as well as work by Japa-nese, Danish and Nigerian artists.

Maak will auction further selections from the Driscoll collection next year.

sums of money despite being out of fash-ion at the time, Thompson wanted to show off to Cromwell. Shortly before painting Robert’s portrait, Lely had depicted Cromwell himself [a pictured owned by Birmingham Museums], bol-stering his place as the greatest artist active in England.”

Art historians Catharine MacLeod and Diana Dethloff, who are working on a catalogue raisonné of Lely’s paint-ings and drawings, agreed it is by Lely.

News Digest

Marie Antoinette bracelets sold Two diamond bracelets that once belonged to Marie Antoinette (1755-93) have been sold at auction in Geneva for SFr6.2m (£5m), or SFr7.46m including buyer’s premium.

Guided at SFr1.8m-3.7m, the bracelets containing 112 diamonds were offered at Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues held on November 9. The jewels had been purchased by Marie Antoinette in 1776 and were paid partly in gemstones from the queen’s collection and partly with funds she received from King Louis XVI.

In 1791 the bracelets were sent by the queen with other personal items in a wooden chest to a former Austrian

ambassador in Brussels for safekeeping while she was in prison.

When Marie Antoinette was guillotined during the French Revolution the box was opened and the bracelets were given to Marie Thérèse Madame Royale (1778-1851), her eldest daughter. The bracelets stayed within the family for more than 200 years. The buyer, bidding via the phone, was not disclosed.

Appeal after fair jewellery theftJewellery designer Emily Nixon is appealing for help to track down diamond and sapphire rings stolen from her fair stand.

The Cornish designer had been selling at the Spirit of Christmas Fair at Olympia London (running from November 1-7 concurrently

with The Winter Art & Antiques Fair). The rings were stolen on the final day when the event was closed and the stand was being packed up. The diamond and sapphire rings and a pendant had been packed into a bag from the stand.

Nixon’s team were attending their first major retail show since before the pandemic began.

For all the images of the other missing items contact Emily Nixon on: [email protected]

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111 or the police on 101 quoting Crime Reference Number 6025562/21.

Baskervilles page takes $340,000A rare manuscript copy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles sold for a hammer price of $340,000 (£252,000) or $423,000 including the buyer’s premium at Heritage in Dallas.

Published in 1902, Conan Doyle resurrected his most famous character Sherlock Holmes in this novel after killing him off in 1894.

According to Heritage, the New York publisher of the book

McClure, Phillips & Company launched a publicity campaign in an effort to promote it and asked Doyle for the original manuscript which was broken up and sold off individually.

Unfortunately the manuscript was written on very acidic paper which meant it deteriorated quickly so not many pages have survived. This has added to the scarcity of this page (pictured above).

Heritage estimated it in excess of $170,000 in the November 6 Manuscripts sale.

John Constable cathedral sketch A John Constable (1776-1837) oil sketch of Salisbury Cathedral is among the lots headlining Christie’s Old Masters evening sale on December 7.

It was then sold by New Bond Street dealer Dowdeswell to Thomas W Bacon

“From then on, nothing went right. My carpet designs were rejected and my textiles were not required. The whole thing had taken me about a year… I never got any reason… The company simply said they were not suitable, paid my [£1200] fee, and that was that.”

In Bloomsbury circles they called it the Cunard affair. Shortly after the launch of RMS Queen Mary in 1934, flagship of the Cunard White Star fleet, British Post-Impressionist Duncan Grant (1885-1978) had received a commission to paint three panels for the First Class Lounge and suggest colour schemes and designs for the carpets and soft furnishings. His creations were approved and a contract signed. However, on returning to England following time in Rome, he discovered reservations.

Cunard’s chairman Sir Percy Bates later wrote to a colleague. “You will I know be sorry to hear that Duncan Grant’s three paintings for the Main Lounge were a complete failure. We had two of the three in position last week and I took two separate parties of our directors... to see them. All are unanimous that they could not remain in the ship.”

An unholy row followed. Grant called powerful friends to his cause (Kenneth Clark, then director of the National Gallery, defended his corner) and widespread press coverage did push Cunard into returning the items and paying compensation. But Grant’s reputation never fully recovered.

Not much survives of his original vision for the room. The paintings are in private hands (the primary panel Seguidilla now cut into four pieces) and reproductions of the furnishing fabrics are available from Grant’s former home, Charleston. However just one original Queen Mary fabric sample was recorded in the V&A prior to the appearance of another at Olympia Auctions in London on November 3.

Measuring 6ft 4in x 3ft 3in (1.63m x 99cm), this curtain, probably printed by Allan Walton Textiles, takes the theme of the West Wind. It came for sale from the collector John Constable with an earlier provenance to Geoffrey and Lady Rosalie Mander of Wightwick Manor, Wolverhampton. It is thought it was acquired in the late 1930s when some of Grant’s rejected designs were sold off piecemeal.

It may not have been wanted in 1934 but it was avidly sought in 2021. Estimated at £200-300, it took £6500 (plus 25% buyer’s premium).

Ericsson telephone installed in the Norwegian king’s residence in c.1880 – €60,000 (£51,300) at Auction Team Breker.

Guaranteed to attract attention at science and technical antiques specialist Auction Team Breker in Cologne on November 6 was this remarkable Ericsson telephone. The walnut case and marquetry-inlaid case gives a clue to its importance: the crest is the coat of arms of the Swedish-Norwegian royal family.

Telephone technology came to Norway with the first public demonstration of the Bell telephone in 1877 followed in 1888 by the installation of one-to-one phones between residents of the capital city of Oslo. By 1880 it became possible to place calls to a number of people connected to an exchange, with Norway soon to become among the most telephone-dense countries in the world (Sweden had most of all).

Lars Magnus Ericsson’s company had been founded in 1876 to supply phones and switchboards to Scandinavia’s first telecommunications projects.

This deluxe production was installed at the Königliche Schloss in Oslo (then home of the Bernadotte king Oscar II) in c.1880. It has a number of early features (the helical microphone has a

screw for simple and accurate regulation of the contact pressure) but it is the case that makes it what Breker

called “one of a kind”. Offered in “very good original condition”, it was estimated at €15,000-25,000 but

went on to sell at €60,000/£51,300 (plus buyer’s premium) .

The Königliche Schloss is still the official residence of the Norwegian monarch. King Harald V, now 83, raised a laugh at this year’s

annual Parliament dinner (held at the palace on October 28) when he revealed he had just bought his first ever mobile. Until the pandemic, he had been quite content with a landline. Roland Arkell

“Huanghuali was a timber favoured by the elite of Ming and Qing China and remains much admired today

Valuation brings home comfortAnglo-Chinese huanghuali bureau cabinet was spotted just down the road from saleroom

The challenge of assembling a furniture and works of art that the market embraces – aggravated by the Covid crisis – was met by Woolley & Wallis (25% buyer’s premium) on September 22 with consignments from a London townhouse and a Cornish country estate.

From closer to home came an Anglo-Chinese huanghuali bureau cabinet which head of valuations Jeremy Lamond spotted when perusing the contents of a house less than 500 yards from the Salisbury salerooms on Castle Street.

The vendor’s forbear, a diplomat working in the Far East, had acquired it about a century ago in Malacca where he was Resident Councillor.

Probably made for an East India Company official c.1760, the form is based on an English prototype but constructed in an entirely Chinese way, including using solid timbers rather than veneers.

These pieces are a much easier sell than ‘pure’ English mahogany furniture of the same period.

A pair of similar cabinets had made £90,000 in January last year. This comparable single example was estimated at a tempting £8000-12,000 and sold to a Canadian buyer at £26,000.

Huanghuali was a timber favoured by the elite of Ming and Qing China, and it remains much admired today.

This sale included two other Anglo-Chinese pieces in this Asian rosewood that appeal for their blending of Eastern and Western ideas.

A c.1740 combined games and tea table of demi-lune form with a triple fold-over was carved with dragon masks and ruyi to the frieze. It quadrupled the top estimate selling to the UK trade at £24,000.

A late 18th or early 19th century pedestal desk, 2ft 7in tall by 4ft wide (78cm x 1.22m) with an arrangement of seven camphor wood-lined drawers, pitched at £3000-5000 went to a UK private buyer at £14,000.

Indo-Portuguese popularityIt was not just British traders, of course, who bought treasures from the East. The immediately recognisable craftsmanship now known as Indo-Portuguese is equally

popular for its sense of exoticism and cross-culture references.

A rosewood and ivory inlaid table cabinet iron carrying handles was made in Gujarat or Sindh in the early 17th century although it had some later amendments.

Worked with the depictions of the birds, beasts and blossoms of India and two falconers, inside two doors is an arrangement of seven drawers.

Pitched at £8000-12,000, the cabinet sold to a UK collector at £17,000 via thesaleroom.com.

Topping the 620-lot sale, which enjoyed an 83% selling rate at a £611,300 total, was an English work. It was among the large consignment of furniture from a London townhouse, bought during the 1980s-90s from a roll-call of leading London dealers.

The pick was a rare c.1690-1700 green japanned chest-on-stand bought from Alistair Sampson in 1983 at the Grosvenor House Fair.

The 5ft 11in (1.80m) high tallboy decorated with raised gilt with figures, birds, buildings and flowers to the front and cranes to the sides, was estimated at £8000-12,000 and sold to another of the strong

contingent of British private buyers at £31,000.

Also a Grosvenor House exhibit, a satinwood and purpleheart semi-elliptical commode described as ‘in the manner of Gillows, c.1790 and later’ was acquired from Apter-Fredericks in 1986. Painted to the doors with oval panels of swags and ribbon-tied wreaths, it sold to the London trade within estimate at £22,000.

Bought in 1985 from Jeremy Ltd on the King’s Road, a c.1765 giltwood wall mirror quadrupled the mid-estimate at Salisbury.

The later oval plate was in a regilded 3ft 11in x 2ft 5in (1.20m x 73cm) frame carved with leaf, branch, C-scroll and rocaille flanked by a pair of ho-ho birds. It was a private buy at £17,000.

City tickerBest of the clocks was a William and Mary ebony bracket clock inscribed to the backplate and dial Charles Halsted London (fl.1656-1705).

A good city maker, this example of his craft had pull-repeat striking the quarters on three bells and the hours on another.

Highlights from the furniture and works of art held by Woolley & Wallis in Salisbury on September 22.

1. An 18th century Anglo-Chinese huanghuali bureau cabinet – £26,000.

2. Huanghuali combined games and tea table – £24,000.

3. Indo-Portuguese rosewood and ivory inlaid table cabinet – £17,000.

4. William and Mary green japanned chest-on-stand – £31,000.

5. A pair of Italian carved walnut figures with a Stokesley Court provenance – £20,000.

4Prompted by a series of fatal mining disasters in the 19th century, a Royal Commission in 1907 recommended the establishment of a miners’ rescue service.

This became law under the Coal Mines Act of 1911, which made the provision of rescue stations compulsory.

The ‘Spirelmo’ black leather, metal and mica smoke helmets were designed around this time. The apparatus required one man on the surface to pump air into the helmet via bellows and an extension pipe. With a good air supply, and using a system of tugs and pulls to communicate, a (hugely brave) rescuer could work underground for long periods.

They were made at the Neptune Works of Siebe Gorman, better known as the manufacturer of diving suits and equipment.

All are now rare survivors and this example, offered for sale by Peebles Auction House (20% buyer’s premium) on the Scottish Borders in a live online sale held on October 23, was in particularly good condition.

There is a faded paper label attached which once identified the helmet as coming from the Monktonhall Pit in Edinburgh.

Typically these are sold as display pieces in the mid hundreds (a similar example took £680 at Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood in Exeter in 2016) but this one with provenance brought £2050 (estimate £700-1500) via thesaleroom.com.

Against a conservative £1500-2000 estimate, it was a private UK buy at £11,500.

An impressive pair of Italian carved walnut figures of young sportsmen had been bought by the vendor at Sotheby’s Stokesley Court sale in 1994.

Standing about 4ft 10in (1.48m) tall, these Renaissance revival studies of an angler and falconer were dated c.1880 and attributed to Valentino Panciera Besarel (1829-1902).

The pair doubled the mid-estimate at Salisbury, selling to a UK buyer at £20,000 via thesaleroom.com. n

16 | 20 November 2021

The Twinight Collection of British porcelain sold by Bonhams (27.5/25/20/14.5% buyer’s premium)* in London on September 29 was just one slice of an impressive porcelain ensemble amassed by the US collector Richard Baron Cohen over a relatively short 20-year period.

Cohen and his items were well known in ceramics circles and in the introduction to Bonhams’ catalogue he succinctly summarised the objective behind his project.

“If you were a porcelain collector or dealer during the 20-year period commencing 1994 through 2014, I am certain that you were aware of my Twinight Collection,” he wrote. “At that time, I visited the salerooms of England and mainland Europe in search of the finest neo-classical European porcelain.”

That “extensive foray into late 18th and early to mid-19th century neo-classical porcelain” involved acquiring tablewares from many European factories including Sèvres, Royal Vienna, KPM Berlin and Meissen.

With these pieces it was the quality of the painted decoration that was the chief attraction, whatever form it took. The collection went on to be the object of public exhibitions across the world: in Berlin, Vienna, Paris and New York, although the English pieces have never been on view.

In 2018 and 2019 Cohen turned to German

auction house Lempertz to sell most of the Continental porcelain from his collection in two single-owner sales (see ATG Nos 2374 and 2384).

This year it was the British element that came up for sale and he chose to sell it through Bonhams where he acquired many of these pieces between the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The 103 lots encompassed porcelain spanning the 1790s through to the first part of the 19th century. It took in the later incarnations of the Worcester factory, Derby and Pinxton and the Welsh factories of Swansea and Nantgarw. It featured tablewares with topographical decoration, with flora and fauna, armorial pieces and special commissions.

They had been painted by a number of known decorators such as Thomas Baxter, William Billingsley, Thomas Pardoe and William Quaker Pegg as well as by talented but unidentified artists.

The sale was rounded off by a slightly later, 1880s, selection of cabinet plates and vases from the Copeland factory finely painted by CF Hurten.

Determined bidderCohen was a vigorous bidder when he was building up the collection and was prepared to pay top dollar for his purchases. Like many traditional fields, the values of classic English ceramics have stagnated or even fallen over the past couple of decades but Fergus Gambon, Bonhams’ specialist for the sale, said that he did not have to base estimates on what his vendor had paid.

“Right from the start he was realistic…. he wasn’t going to insist on getting the purchase price back in each case,” Gambon told ATG. This allowed the specialist to set the levels at what he felt the pieces were worth. He thought that it worked with everything finding its level, some things selling for more than he paid and others for less, as illustrated in this report.

The overall final statistics were encouraging with 81% of the lots getting away to net just a shade under £300,000. The patchiest area of the sale, with a higher proportion of unsold lots, proved to be the Welsh porcelain where Gambon felt that demand has slackened off with fewer new buyers.

For the results overall it helped that Cohen did not focus on any one factory but rather on different types of decoration across a specific timeframe.

Regency porcelain also has more of an immediate decorative appeal than some of the more academically interesting wares from the earlier 18th century English factories.

All of this gave more variety to the sale and the different subjects attracted bidders beyond the limited arena of the specialist ceramics collector.

The potential buyers were “absolutely not necessarily just porcelain people… some of them were asking questions which showed that this was probably one of their first forays into the world of Regency ceramics,” said Gambon.

He also noted that there were a couple of Chamberlain pieces in the sale finely painted with canine subjects which attracted a lot of interest

In his Twinight sale at Bonhams they were led at £8500 by a cabaret service from c.1800 comprising a teapot, sucrier and milk jug (shown here) plus two coffee cans and a large tray, all painted in a distinctive style by John Brewer with panels of animals, birds and butterflies on a yellow ground.

from people buying because of the dogs. The bulk of the bidding came in absentee form

via commissions, online or by phone and was predominantly a mix of UK and US, with some from Japan.

Topping the auction with a price of £42,000 were two rare and historical Copeland and Garrett presentation cabinet cups and salvers dated 1833.

They were made for Copeland and Garrett as commemorative pieces using the bones collected from an ox roast at a dinner held to celebrate the signing of the partnership between the two men. Each cup is decorated with fruit, flowers and butterflies on a turquoise ground and has an armorial to the centre of the salver while the undersides of the salvers have gilt inscriptions giving details of the event.

Both cups were part of the Copeland collection and they made the same sum when sold by Bonhams as part of the auction of the contents of Trelissick House in July 2013.

The second-highest price went to a Flight Barr and Barr Worcester centrepiece that was beautifully painted by Thomas Baxter with a still-life of shells, coral and a sea urchin.

Shell decoration was a speciality of the artist (his renditions are so accurate that marine

biologists can usually identify all the specimens). This particular piece, which measured 13in (33.5cm) in width and features an impressed crown and FBB mark as well as a Coventry Street printed mark, dated from c.1814-16 and was acquired by Cohen at Bonhams in 2005 for £20,000. This time around it realised £30,000 against a £10,000-15,000 guide.

Abergavenny delightsThe collection also featured half a dozen pieces from a Chamberlain’s Worcester commission known as the Abergavenny Service which was ordered in 1813 by the Earl of Abergavenny.

Comprising armorial decorated tea, coffee, dinner, dessert and breakfast services and a series of vases, this was the factory’s most important commission.

The most expensive Abergavenny piece in the Twinight sale was a 10¾in (27cm) high covered vase that was painted with a scene from Shakespeare’s Henry VIII to one side and the full Abergavenny arms to the other and had gilt ram’s head handles and a pineapple finial. It made £15,000, which was double the estimate, and compared to a price of £9000 realised when it was acquired at a Bonhams sale in December 2007.

The second most expensive piece from the service was a large 14in (35.5cm) wide oval covered soup tureen and stand painted with white and gold flowers on orange borders and the Abergavenny armorials.

This realised £8000, which was the lower end of its £8000-12,000 estimate and less than the £11,500 it realised in June 2007.

In terms of overall values, British porcelain does not have the same broad international collecting base as some of the best-known Continental factories and prices do not compare with the top end of Meissen or Sèvres.

This does mean, however, that examples of British porcelain from this era with very finely executed decoration and can represent relatively good value compared to their Continental counterparts especially as this continues to be a soft market.

The Twinight sale had plenty of pieces priced at under £2000 as well as some in the three-figure range and examples of these are pictured here alongside the top lots discussed above.

It sold for £4000 via thesaleroom.com, slightly less than the £4500 realised in the same rooms in 2009.

While the kilns at Sèvres had been allowed to languish during the Revolution, Napoleon recognised the value of a national porcelain factory and used it as an extension of his power.

Under the new executive, the designs of the ancien regime were cast aside in favour of neoclassicism and imagery that charted the triumphs and benefits of empire.

The Bonhams (27.5/25/20/14.5% buyer’s premium) sale titled Napoleon Bonaparte: The British Sale on October 27 included several pieces of Sèvres from important imperial services, many of them from the Twinight collection.

As indicated by the sale of a plate from the service particulier de l’Empereur for €280,000 at Osenat in Paris on November 9 (see International Events, page 46-47), these can be very expensive.

Estimated at £9000-11,000 but sold at £22,000 was a dessert plate decorated with a river landscape titled Vue de val Travers dans le Comté de Neuchâtel.

This comes from the service with ‘Vues de Suisse’ given by Napoleon to his stepson, Eugène de Beauharnais, viceroy to Italy, c.1811. The service contained 72 plates and is of particular technical interest, due to the combination of transfer printing and hand-painting in its decoration, a technique not often used in the factory’s production.

The particular view on this plate was taken from an engraving after Claude-Louis Châtelet, which was published in the late 18th century plate book Tableaux de la Suisse.

Also sold at £22,000 was a plate from the ‘service Cambacérès’ given by Napoleon to Jean-Jacques Régis, prince de Cambacérès and archchancellor of the Empire. The gift, purchased on August 17, 1807, included not only the service, but also biscuit figures, groups and vases.

The service included views of Italy but was expanded to include scenes of the royal palaces, such as Fontainebleau and the Tuileries, and scenes from Aesop’s Fables, in this case the tale of The Lion and the Gnat.

Sold at £18,000 (estimate £12,000-15,000)

was a plate from the ‘service marli d’or’. The first mention of this service can be found in the Sèvres work records of 1805 and it continued being made until the restoration of the French monarchy.

Napoleon gave pieces as gifts to King Friedrich August I of Saxony in 1809 and subsequently to Prince Schwarzenberg, the Austrian ambassador, in 1812.

The decoration, including a variety of subjects from flower still-lifes and landscapes to cameos and genre scenes, was done by the very best painters at the factory. This plate c.1806-07 painted by Lebel depicts a view of the Rhine with the town of Braubach beside it and the Marksburg castle above.

Large numbers of Staffordshire figures were made depicting Napoleon – most of them made when the former emperor was firmly ensconced on St Helena. The majority of these are ‘flatbacks’ that were cheap and cheerful at the time and remain much the same today.

However, this sale included a much rarer Wood family pearlware portrait bust made around the time of Waterloo that models Bonaparte as First Consul. Standing just over 12in (31cm) high, it is particularly well painted with the red tunic embellished with oak leaves and the socle painted with panels simulating stone.

It was much admired by both pottery collectors and Napoleon aficionados and sold at £6500 (estimate £600-800).

Rattlesnake with bite

Super Sèvres selections

Estimated at £400-600, a Meissen chinoiserie decorated porcelain snuff box (below) took £12,000 at Bellmans (22% buyer’s premium) in West Sussex on October 14. The price suggested bidders were confident it was 18th century rather than a later copy.

The box, with a crossed swords and KPM mark in underglaze blue, probably dates from the mid-1720s. It is painted in the manner of Johann Gregor Höroldt with a series of ‘Böttger lustre’ cartouches enclosing chinoiserie scenes in puce orange, iron red and black. To the base is a purpurmalerei scene of Oriental figures in discussion.

A similar group of Höroldt style boxes, many with KPM marks, were re-issued by Meissen from the 1830s onwards, primarily for export to England. Typically these bring more modest sums.

Crowning gloryAn early Meissen dish in this sale (above right) had been acquired by the vendor at Bonhams in 2012. Painted with the arms of Saxony and Poland surrounded by scattered flowers and banded hedges in kakiemon style, this formed part of the coronation service that was probably ordered for the crowning of Friedrich August II of Saxony as king of Poland in Cracow on January 17, 1734. The service – the first Meissen armorial table service – was presumably intended only for display as silver was used on the royal table. When delivered to the Japanese Palace in Dresden in 1734, it comprised 77 parts in total, including 37 of these 18in (25cm) plates.

This example, in good condition apart from some wear to the gilding, has a wheel-engraved inventory number for the palace. Sold for £10,000 plus 25% premium a decade ago, this time it brought £9000.

Estimated at £200-300 in the belief they were later copies, a pair of Sèvres dishes (above) sold for £9500 at Sworders’ (25% buyer’s premium) Homes & Interiors live online sale in Stansted Mountfitchet on October 12.

According to David Peters’ book Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century, pieces of this design with blue cornflower sprays within a garlands of puce beads were made in 1788 and bought by Marie-Thérèse de Savoie, Comtesse d’Artois.

These dishes offered in Essex were probably among pieces from the service sold at Christie’s in 1885.

Madame du Barry orderA group lot offered by Hannams (23% buyer’s premium) in Selborne, Hampshire, on November 3 with an estimate of just £30-50 included a single ‘Sèvres style’ plate decorated with garlands of roses entwined within a turquoise ribbon, pictured below.

The hammer price was £2000. With the date letter R for 1770 and painter’s mark for Jean Jacques Pierre II (1763-98), this plate is probably from a ‘service à rubans Bleu Celeste’ that was first ordered by Madame du Barry via her banquier, Jean-Baptiste Buffault in December 1769 and later resold to a buyer in England. The decoration became particular popular here and three other services of this type were made for export between 1770-75, including one delivered to John Frederick Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset.

Several similar plates have appeared for sale on the London and New York markets, while Woolley & Wallis sold an ice cup (tasse à glace) for £900 as part of the Judith Howard Collection in February 2020.

Among the best-performing lots at the Woolley & Wallis (25/12% buyer’s premium) Ceramics & Glass sale in Salisbury on October 7 was a rare Wedgwood black basalt seal (right). Dated c.1777, it depicts a timber rattlesnake coiled beneath a banner inscribed Don’t Tread On Me. Estimated at £150-250, it sold at £4500.

This motif, today known at the Gadsden flag, was one popularised by Benjamin Franklin for colonial propaganda.

In 1751, he made the first reference to the rattlesnake in a satirical commentary published in his Pennsylvania Gazette. It had been the policy of Parliament to send convicted criminals to the Americas (primarily to Georgia), so Franklin suggested that they thank them by sending rattlesnakes to Britain.

These basalt medallions were made by Josiah Wedgwood, humanitarian and libertarian, to distribute among his pro-American friends.

Although the model first appears in Wedgwood’s intaglio catalogue of 1787, production had begun 10 years prior.

Wedgwood was acutely aware of the potential issues that production of an article such as this could generate – particularly by a potter beloved of the royal family. In a letter to Thomas Bentley, dated August 8, 1777, he wrote: “I think it will be best to keep such unchristian articles for private trade.” The original biscuit ware intaglio mould is in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Another item that could have put the maker in hot water at the moment of its manufacture was a rare Jacobite wine glass, c.1760-80 (above right). Raised on a double series opaque twist stem, the round funnel bowl is enamelled with a polychrome portrait of Prince Charles Edward Stuart.

Less than a dozen of these glasses are known, divided into two groups: those executed in red, blue, white, green and yellow enamels (such as this) and three executed in the narrower palette of red, blue and white. Examples are in the collection of the National Museum of Scotland, the Ashmolean, the West Highland Museum in Fort William and the National Gallery of Victoria. The enameller is unknown but may be associated with the Scottish enameller Anthony Taylor, formerly of Newcastle upon Tyne.

This glass bears marked similarities to a set of six commissioned c.1775 by Thomas Erskine, later 9th Earl of Kellie, who was a member of a group of aristocratic Jacobites who continued to celebrate Bonnie Prince Charlie’s birthday until his death in 1788. Estimated at a modest £800-1200, the hammer price was £14,000.

London production

Pictured here are two early English pottery tankards – both of them documentary pieces.

The 8in (21cm) high stoneware example above right offered by Bourne End Auctions (17.5% buyer’s premium) in Buckinghamshire on October 6 was guided at just £80-120 but took £3000.

A typical two-tone brown saltglazed mug of the type made in London and Bristol in the first quarter of the 18th century, it has applied decoration of a clockwise hunt that appears together with a badge of Charles II – perhaps a veiled reference to the Hanoverian succession just a few years earlier. The inscription John Stevens in Stanwell 1719 suggests it was probably made in Vauxhall or Fulham.

Although immigrant Dutch or German potters were probably active earlier in the century, John Dwight’s pottery in Fulham is the earliest clearly documented maker of stoneware in England. Supported by two scientific luminaries, Robert Boyle and Robert Hooke, he was granted a patent in 1672 for “the mistery of transparent earthenware, commonly known by the names of porcelain or china, and of stoneware, vulgarly called Cologne ware”.

A mug from the previous generation of London potters was offered by Trevanion & Dean (20% buyer’s premium) in Whitchurch, Shropshire on October 20. This delft tin-glazed earthenware tankard, 7in (17cm) high is simply decorated with a laurel wreath cartouche and the initials IHK over the date 1684. It was probably made at Pickleherring Quay.

In excellent condition, showing only surface crazing and some nibbles to the rim, the mug took £3600 (estimate £100-150).

Surprise squirrels

A sale at Bamfords (20% buyer’s premium) in Derby on October 14-18 included this 3¼in (34cm) tall Chelsea figure from the Red Anchor Senses set created by the Low Countries sculptor Joseph Willems (1710-66), c.1755. Modelled as a seated woman holding a hawk and resting her foot on a tortoise (traditional animal attributes for Touch), it was estimated at £300-500 but sold at £3800.

Probably inspired by similar sets made at Meissen and at Derby by Italian-born sculptor Agostino Carlini, Willems’ models debuted at the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory’s annual auction in March 1755 with the ‘large and beautiful figure representing Feeling’ first offered for sale the following year on April 10, 1756.

As large-scale figures (all are around 12in/30cm high), the records suggest they were sold separately as individual works of porcelain sculpture. Probably for this reason no complete set of five appears to have survived (although the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has four, missing Sight).

Bamfords’ example was unusual on two other counts. While most surviving figures are enamelled this figure of Touch was left in the white. The bocage of blooming flowers is also far more developed than that which appears to, for example, the figure in Boston or another in the Museum of London collection.

Figures from the series appear on the market occasionally: Smell sold as part of the Crane collection at Bonhams in 2010 for £3000.

Local interest Of particular interest to local buyers at Bamfords was a single collection of 38 lots of Pinxton porcelain. With all lots selling, they totalled £7200, close to double the top estimate. Made in the eponymous village about 20 miles north of the saleroom, Pinxton was founded by wealthy landowner John Coke and the Derby factory painter William Billingsley in 1796. Today, Coke’s home, Brookhill Hall, is the meeting place for the very active Pinxton Porcelain Society – with many members bidding at this sale.

The collection comprised mostly domestic and tablewares made in the period before the factory changed hands in 1804

(it closed for good in 1813). Top-seller was a c.1800 lot of two 7½in (19cm)

wide boat-shaped sucriers, one painted with pink roses, green leaves and gilt foliage, the other painted in carmine and gilt. Pitched at £100-150, these sold

at £580. A butter dish and cover, c.1796-99, decorated with the red sprig version of pattern 1 within iron red

borders was estimated at £60-100 but took £500.

At Stamford Auction Rooms (20% buyer’s premium) in Lincolnshire on October 30 this pair of mid-19th century Staffordshire red squirrels sold for a surprise £2000.

As Victorian Staffordshire animals go, squirrels are among the rarest. The subject was a relatively common one in 18th century porcelain and pottery (Meissen, Derby and Ralph Wood all made memorable models) but relatively few mid to late 19th models appear to have been made. There are several different recorded designs with this one, standing 9in (22cm) high and modelled eating nuts in a bocage, counting as one of the best.

Of course, all Georgian and Victorian ceramic squirrels are reds: it was the only squirrel Europeans knew prior to the accidental introduction of the now ubiquitous greys in 1876.

Result of international relations

Auction Reports Art market

West London’s Chiswick Auctions (25% buyer’s premium) reported a notable level of overseas interest at its latest dedicated Old Master sale.

It was the first sale put together by Dr Albert Godetzky since he joined as the firm’s head of Old Master paintings and works on paper this summer.

He has strong academic credentials, particularly in 16th-18th century northern European art, having previously been a curatorial fellow at the National Gallery. He is also continuing in his role as associate lecturer at the Courtauld Institute of Art while embarking on his auctioneering career.

The October 12 sale had some academically intriguing pictures that appealed to buyers in a variety of countries. Godetzky said he was “particularly thrilled by the sale’s international reach”.

Overall, 75 of the 84 lots sold (89%). Fewer than half of those works were bought by UK buyers (45%) with bidders from 16 other countries

bidders at the top of the list. Russian buyers were also active, securing 22.5% of the sale, while a further 7% went to bidders in the rest of the world including India, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the US.

A Russian buyer secured the top lot of the day despite the fact that it was ostensibly a very English work. The small 18th century pastoral landscape with figures by a bank was catalogued as ‘Circle of Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88)’. It had an old label on the verso for London dealer Arthur Tooth & Sons which, despite its condition being far from perfect, helped arouse more interest.

The auction house contacted Gainsborough expert Hugh Belsey, who provided assistance for the catalogue entry. This stated that the 10 x 13½in (25 x 34cm) oil on panel related very closely to a painting by Gainsborough now at the Yale Center for British Art in the US. The Yale picture, though, had previously been ascribed as by an unidentified ‘imitator’ in John Hayes’ 1982 monograph Landscapes of Thomas Gainsborough but has since been reassessed and accepted as an autograph work by Yale.

A related drawing from c.1745 also exists which is attributed to Gainsborough: Wooded Landscape with Group of Figures, now in the Morgan Library, New York. With the three figures to the right of the Chiswick work closely following the drawing, and the presence of the Arthur Tooth label, a few parties were willing to speculate whether the work here might be something more than a more routine ‘circle of’.

With an estimate of £2000-3000, it sparked a strenuous phone and

internet bidding contest before it was knocked down at £17,000 to the Russian.

Among the Dutch and Flemish works bringing interest in Chiswick was a view of the Anthonispoort in Amsterdam which had provenance to a number of notable collections, including that of Chevalier Sébastien Érard (1752-31) and later the salon hostesses and art collector Marquise d’Aoust (1826-88).

It had been ascribed as a ‘Dutch school’ picture in Charles Blanc’s 1861 publication Histoire des peintres de toutes les écoles but more recently had been identified as by Amsterdam townscape specialist Jan van der Heyden (1637-1712) and his workshop, which was how it was catalogued here.

Three autograph versions of the same view are known: one in the Hermitage in St Petersburg, another in the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe and the third in a private collection in Eindhoven. While the Karlsruhe painting has differing details, the current picture, which came from a private English collection, closely follows the Hermitage version.

The 12 x 14in (30 x 36cm) oil on panel had a faint JV Heyden signature to the lower centre. With the £5000-7000 estimate again not felt to be excessive, it took £12,000.

Godetzky’s next sale at Chiswick will be an Old Master drawings and prints auction on December 3. Previously paintings and drawings were offered in a single event but now the firm has launched On Paper sales which offer a dedicated selection of works on paper spanning five centuries. n

Above left: Pastoral Landscape with Figures, a work catalogued as ‘circle of Thomas Gainsborough’ – £17,000 at Chiswick Auctions.

Above right: view of the Anthonispoort in Amsterdam catalogued as ‘Jan van der Heyden and workshop’ – £15,000.

A small portrait sketch of a young boy by George Henry Harlow (1787-1819) drew lively interest at the recent Fine Art & Antiques sale at Chorley’s (22.5% buyer’s premium) in Gloucestershire.

The 13½ x 10½in (34 x 27cm) oval oil on panel (right) had typically flourishing brushstrokes by the artist who trained under Hendrik Frans de Cort, Samuel Drummond and also Thomas Lawrence. As well as actors and actresses, children were one of Harlow’s most common sitters and a portrait of two young siblings with a dog that sold at Sotheby’s New York for $110,000 (£68,365) in 1997 remains his auction record.

The portrait here depicted John Etherington Welch Rolls, who was born in 1807 and was probably around four or five when the work was painted. Rolls would later inherit the family estate near Monmouth and his grandson, Charles Stewart Rolls, became the co-founder of Rolls Royce in 1904.

This oil sketch may have been a study for a larger portrait of the sitter and his sisters which Harlow exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1815.

Offered at Prinknash Abbey on September 21-22 with a £4000-6000 estimate, it sold at £7000 to a private buyer, a good sum for a work of this size.

An opportunity to buy a portrait of one of Charles II’s mistresses emerged at a recent Bellmans’ (22% buyer’s premium) sale in West Sussex.

While such pictures do not appear every day, portraits of women who had liaisons with the Restoration monarch are not as rare as you might think (he did father at least 14 illegitimate children by seven mistresses, after all).

Portraits depicting Moll Davis, Nell Gwyn and Barbara Palmer, Duchess of Cleveland, have all been sold in recent decades.

More recently a Peter Lely (1618-80) painting of Charles’ favourite mistress in the early and mid-1670s, Louise Renée de Penancoët de Kérouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth (1649-1734), took £48,000 at Christie’s in July 2020. It was sold as part of the auction of works owned by the late Dowager Countess Bathurst.

The Bellmans portrait, which was offered at the Wisborough Green saleroom on October 12, depicted the same sitter but a bit later in life and more flamboyantly dressed.

The 3ft 6in x 3ft 2in (1.07m x 97cm) oil on canvas showed the duchess, who was sometimes disparagingly referred to as ‘the French Spy’, with a cupid and doves and was catalogued as ‘attributed to’ French artist Henri Gascars (1635-1701).

It had been in a private collection in Gloucestershire from the early 19th century before it was sold by Lane Fine Art to the vendor’s father.

Louise, who was born into a noble family at the Château de Kéroualle, near Brest, met Charles II when accompanying his sister Henrietta Anne Stuart, Duchess of Orléans, to Dover in 1670. He later appointed her a lady-in-waiting to his own queen, Catherine of Braganza, with whom she remained on amicable terms throughout her spell as the king’s mistress.

In 1673, she was granted the titles Baroness Petersfield, Countess of Fareham and Duchess of Portsmouth, but Charles affectionately called her ‘Fubbs’. In 1682 renamed the royal yacht HMY Fubbs in her honour.

Gascars had arrived in England c.1674, probably at the request of Louise herself whom he painted a number of times between 1672-75. He received numerous commissions from the English court but had returned to France by 1680, probably due to the rising anti-Catholic sentiment in England.

An oval portrait of Louise by Gascars had made £38,500 at Sotheby’s back in June 2008 which meant that the £8000-12,000 estimate here looked somewhat modest, although this may have reflected the fact that this was an ‘attributed to’ picture rather than a fully ascribed work.

Condition-wise the relined canvas had some retouching as well as varnish to the surface.

It was knocked down at £13,000 to a bidder in the room who saw off interest on the phone. As the bidding was rising, the auctioneer having almost missed a bid commented: “A room bidder there, sorry, still getting used to them again.”

Bellmans described the buyer as a private collector who was an art historian interested in historical paintings and portraits – “this certainly ticked both boxes,” said a spokesman.

The price, although above estimate, nevertheless still looked a bit underwhelming considering the combination of artist and sitter which may have implied some differing opinions among potential bidders.

Auction judgmentA bit further down the price scale, another portrait drawing interest was a Walter William Ouless (1848-1933) painting of a

leading judge.The 4ft 2in x 3ft 4in (1.27 x

1.02m) oil on canvas was signed and dated 1876. It depicted Sir Richard Paul Amphlett, one of the judges of the High Court of Appeal and Baron of Exchequer.

While, on the face of it, the subject was hardly commercial

Mistress lovingly portrayed with cupid and doves

and the condition slightly compromised by extensive craquelure and stretcher marks, the painting caught the eye of a number of bidders to whom its painterly quality and strong characterisation appealed.

Being sold to benefit a charitable trust, it was estimated at just £200-400 but was taken up to a final £3800, seemingly the highest price for an Ouless portrait at auction for over five years.

Trafalgar hero’s coastal viewsDistinguished naval officer admired by Nelson was also a talented watercolour painter

Containing 51 grisaille watercolours by Lord Mark Robert Kerr, a splendid manuscript copy of William Hamilton’s Letters concerning the Northern Coast of the County of Antrim... of 1790 bore a quite modest estimate of £500-800 in a Dominic Winter (20% buyer’s premium) sale of September 8-9, but made £12,000.

Running to 151pp in all, this remarkable illustrated manuscript version of Hamilton’s work, one in which all of the illustrations are linked to corresponding passages in that text, was produced by a distinguished naval officer, and one much admired by Nelson.

It was Kerr who had alerted the Royal Navy to the movement of the French fleet through the Straits of Gibraltar in that fateful year of 1805, but it is thought unlikely that Nelson ever knew that Kerr was also a talented artist.

First OpticksA 1704, first issue of Isaac Newton’s Opticks..., a lightly washed example in a re-backed but contemporary binding, was one of the day’s more expensive lots at a mid-estimate £24,000.

An illustrated manuscript of the 1720s, running to some 200pp and focused on Biblical meditations and verses, sold at a much higher than predicted £20,000.

This was the work of Robert Dodsley, a Mansfield schoolmaster and father of the poet, playwright and publisher of the same name who was a protegé of Defoe and Pope as well as friend and patron of Johnson.

It is possible, said the cataloguer, that the work was compiled by Dodsley Senior for the instruction of his pupils and even his own children.

Bound in a battered old volume with eight other medical dissertations of much the same period was one that marked the first appearance in print of Joseph Black’s doctoral dissertation, his Dissertatio medica inauguralis, de humore acido a cibis orto, et magnesia alba...

Printed in Edinburgh in 1754, it was Black’s first and only major publication, but one that secured his scientific renown. According to the Dictionary of Scientific Biography, it was the work in which he demonstrated

by Ian McKay

that an aeriform fluid he called “fixed air” (carbon dioxide gas) was a quantitive constituent of such alkaline substances as Magnesia Alba, lime potash, and soda.

In the 19th century William Osler, a Canadian physician and one of the four founding professors of the famous Johns Hopkins Hospital in

America, wrote: “There is perhaps no other instance of a graduation thesis so weighted with significant novelty.”

Of near legendary rarity, this original printed version of a dissertation that he later went on to expand and revise is nowadays pretty much unobtainable and confined to institutional collections. Just seven

copies are recorded in the UK, one in the Netherlands and three in North America. Estimated at £2000-3000, this rare example went on to sell at £46,000.

Gone fishingA tiny angling book of 1716, an enlarged fourth edition of John Smith’s The Compleat Fisher; or, the True Art of Angling..., a work that was first published in 1696 and ran to a dozen editions up to the year 1770, took £4800 from an internet bidder.

All editions are nowadays quite rare and this one in its worn but contemporary binding included a new frontispiece among its eight woodcut illustrations.

Based on his own experiments in stocking a fish pond, a 1600 first in a 19th century binding of John Taverner’s Certain Experiments Concerning Fish and Fruite was offered as the very next lot in South Cerney and sold online at £5000.

Cartographic attractions included an example of the 1511, first and only

edition of a cordiform, or heart-shaped world map by Bernardus Sylvanus, one that includes some very early North American detail. It was sold at £32,000.

Published some 400 years later was a map of London that could hardly be more removed in its inspiration.

Titled, around its edges, ‘If you would save your Dog from Distemper send your Pounds and Pence to the Fund – The Field Distemper Fund’ and published in 1914, it was a version of MacDonald Gill’s ‘Wonderground Map’ of London and had proved a great fund-raising success. This example sold at £4000.

Depicting a mounted soldier, seen from the rear as a nun walks towards him, an ink drawing by Robert Baden-Powell titled Peace & War, Mafeking 19.11.99 sold well at £3800, and a copy of Ronald Searle’s well-known Anatomy of an Antiquarian Bookseller of 1976, a coloured litho print that was signed and dated by the artist, took £1500. n

Sold for £16,000 in a September 23 sale held by Lawrences (25% buyer’s premium) of Crewkerne was an album of 41 watercolour studies of birds produced by William Weston Young (1776-1847).

They were preserved in a later 19th century calf binding whose upper cover was blocked in gilt with the creator’s name and the title ‘British Birds. Neath 1804’,

Born into a devout Quaker family, and the son of a Bristol merchant, Young led a diverse and entrepreneurial life in his early years, said the cataloguer, but then bankruptcy forced him into paid employment. In 1803 he and his wife moved to Swansea in order to find employment as a ‘draftsman’ under a fellow Quaker, Lewis Weston Dillwyn, at the latter’s Cambrian Pottery. The watercolours in this collection would seem to date from that period.

Dillwyn and Young, both still relatively young, shared a common interest in natural history and many of Young’s painted wares for the pottery feature accurately depicted flora and fauna, as well as the taxonomic names of the illustrated species. Examples of this pottery, said the cataloguer, can be seen at London’s V&A, the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff and at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea.

In 1814, and by that time more financially sound, Young became the major investor in the Nantgarw Pottery established by William Billingsley and Samuel Walker, and when they left the struggling business in 1820, Young assumed full control, and managed the debts through careful marketing and the sale of remaining stock.

He later marketed a heat-proof blast furnace brick, but unfortunately his luck did not last and he died in much reduced financial circumstances.

At Piers Motley in Exmouth on November 22-23, it is estimated to bring £3500-6000.

The November 24 sale at Keys in Aylsham includes several rare pieces of English and European 18th century pottery and porcelain, such as this Chelsea kakiemon basket c.1752 estimated at £3000-5000.

A similar 9in (23cm) quatrefoil basket with Sulkowsky ozier-moulding and iron-red tiger and dragon enamelled decoration was sold by Christie’s in 2004. A pair originally from the collection of the Marquess of Exeter are now in the collection of Colonial Williamsburg.

A single-owner collection of more than 200 Renaissance and later bronze medallions and plaques comes for sale at Olympia Auctions on November 24-25.

Estimates range from £200-3000 and the collection is being sold without reserve by specialist Matthew Barton.

A large part of this collection was assembled from 1911-36 by Alfred Spero, a leading dealer in works of art during the first half of the 20th century. His sources included the Melleket collection, the Henry Oppenheimer collection sold at Christie’s in 1936, the collection of V&A benefactor Dr Walter Hildburgh and that of Whitcombe Greene who bequeathed some plaquettes and many medals to the British Museum.

The current vendor, Bernard Kelly, acquired the collection in the 1960s before adding to it at the Adams collection sale (Bonhams, London, 1996) and the Pope-Hennessy sale (Christie’s, New York, 1996).

The collection includes pieces from the workshop of Galeazzo Mondella (1467-1528), perhaps the best practitioner of the genre. His plaquette of David Triumphant over Goliath, bought at Sotheby’s in 1969, is estimated at £1000-1500.

This double bass made by specialist Albert Volkmann has been owned by professional musician Roy Babbington since 1967, having been previously owned by the late Colin O’Brien of Stockton who purchased it in Germany c.1960.

No history is known prior to 1960, but Babbington, a professional musician since 1958 who is best known for his work in jazz and

recording and broadcasting sessions, has played the instrument extensively since 1970 in, among many others, The BBC Big Band.

Volkmann, a double bass specialist of Schonbach, Bohemia, made the instrument measuring 5ft 11in (1.81m) overall in c.1910. It features an Albert Volkmann Schonbach trademark monogram

to the button and bears a retailer’s label for Karl Hammerschmidt & Sohne Watzkenreuth and various repair labels.

The Vickers French pattern silver mounted double bass bow is stamped JE Vickers.

It will be offered by Scarborough saleroom David Duggleby on November 19 estimated at £30,000-40,000.

The Distinguished Flying Cross earned by a 19-year-old South African pilot who downed a First World War German ace by ramming him out of the sky is going under the hammer at the Richard Winterton sale in Tamworth on November 23.

Awarded to Lt George Edgar Bruce Lawson and sold with his British War and Victory Medals plus an archive of associated paperwork, the 1918 DFC group is estimated at £3500-6000.

Hailing from Cape Town, he was only one of eight South Africans to be awarded the

DFC and was a fighter ace credited with six aerial victories.On September 27, 1918, flying with 32 Squadron in France, he downed Fritz Rumey,

with whom Lawson collided in mid-air. Rumey – who had 45 confirmed victories over Allied pilots – baled out but his parachute failed and he plummeted to the ground. He was one of only five Germans to be awarded the Pour le Mérite and German Golden Military Merit Cross.

The grandeur of the Highlands inspired Alfred de Breanski Senior (1852-1928) throughout his artistic career.

This 3ft x 4ft 3in (91cm x 1.3m) oil on canvas featuring in John Nicholson’s Fine Paintings sale on November 24 is titled The Grampians, depicting a serene view of Highland cattle standing in the tranquil waters of a loch as dusk begins to fall.

With a provenance to the gallery of Frost and Reed, the painting is offered with an estimate of £20,000-30,000 in the Fernhurst, Surrey, auction.

A French 19th century doll made by Daniel & Cie is estimated at £2500-3500 in Tennants’ Costume, Accessories and Textiles Sale on November 20.

The Paris bebe bisque head doll is an important piece of doll history, says Tennants: in 1890 leading doll maker Jumeau successfully sued Daniel & Cie for copyright infringement and all the moulds for Daniel’s dolls were destroyed. Thus, extant examples, such as the example here, are rarely found on the market.

The sale at Forum Auctions in London on November 25 includes one of the 500 copies of Pierre-Francois Hugues d’Hancarville’s Collection of Etruscan, Greek and Roman Antiquities from the Cabinet of the Honble Wm Hamilton.

This magnificent record of Sir William Hamilton’s first collection of antique vases (which was later sold to the British Museum) proved hugely influential on contemporary neoclassical styles in pottery and porcelain, particularly on those of Josiah Wedgwood.

Estimated at £6000-8000, this is the first two volumes featuring 218 engraved plates that was printed in Rome in 1767-69. Volumes three and four were published later in 1776 in a run of only 100 copies, meaning that complete sets are scarce.

A welcome late entry to the Asian Art sale at Chiswick Auctions on November 18 is a series of 24 paintings depicting tea production in China.

While similar works were not uncommon in the 19th century, this set is exceptionally early, detailed and extensive.

They were acquired during Lord Macartney’s diplomatic trade mission to China in 1792-94 and have passed through four generations of the British nobility at Crewe Hall.

One of the paintings was lost in the 1980s (when exhibited in 1997 as part of the A Tale of Three Cities: Canton, Shanghai and Hong Kong show only 23 were displayed) but it has since been rediscovered and a legal agreement reached to reunite it with the others.

Dealers’ Diary

“I am delighted the Spode society has chosen our event to present such a prestigious and important display

Birmingham fair keeps it simpleTweaked procedures and pricing policy is proving successful as major event finally returns

Art & Antiques for Everyone will make a return to the NEC Birmingham for the first time since November 2019 when it became the first major regional UK fair to be cancelled following the Coronavirus outbreak.

During the pandemic, organiser Mad Events (Dan Leyland and Marisa Beckman) took the opportunity to simplify the event’s existing vetting rules and procedures, with the aim of opening the fair further to new exhibitors following a pricing policy change in 2019, which had been successful in attracting new dealers.

This year a number of fresh faces have signed up including Rug Addiction, Slade’s Antiques, Not Wanted on Voyage and Freya Mitton.

The first three are regular dealers at provincial fairs, while Mitton is a regular at a number of the higher-end events including Olympia in London.

This event is the fourth AAfE fair for the organisers, who note that the mix and range of dealers is part of the charm of the fair with items ranging from £10 to over £100,000.

Running from November 25-28, it remains one of the largest indoor antiques and interior fairs outside London. It expects to have around 150 exhibitors (in line with previous years) stalling out at the end of the month.

Like many other events, AAfE has had to make some adjustments to ensure that the event will be Covid-safe. These include the NEC checking visitor Covid passes and, unfortunately, there will be no speakers at the event on this occasion. However, alongside the exhibitors will be a loan display of Spode ceramics staged by the Spode Society that had been due to take place last year when the event was cancelled.

Better late than never, this comprises approximately 170 examples of the finest and rarest pieces. Leyland said: “I am delighted that the Spode Society has chosen our event to present such a prestigious and important display.”

This is the only dedicated exhibition that has been organised by the society and several dealers at the fair will be offering Spode pieces with

by Rachel Fellman

the knowledge that enthusiasts will be attending to see the exhibition.

AAfE is a well-known hotspot for pottery and ceramics dealers and one of the regulars, Chester’s Farm Antiques, will be exhibiting with a faience plate, painted, signed and dated 1877 by Catherine Sparkes (1842-1910), priced at £675.

Other decorative pieces on offer include a sterling silver cigarette box from Mark Goodger Antiques for £1995 and an almost complete 19th century homeopathical medical

case available for £595 from Mike Melody Antiques.

Art optionsAmong the fine art available, Ellis Fine Art will be showing an Alfonso Savini (1836-1908) oil, The Next Drink, with a price tag of £8950.

Blackbrook Gallery is selling one of its 19th century naïve animal paintings, Prize Winning Berkshire Pigs, signed and dated R Whitford 1860, for £18,500. n

“Cecil Court continues to go from strength to strength

The web shop windowThousands of items are available to buy from dealers online. Here we pick out one that caught our eye this week.

belleandbeastemporium.com

Jo Pugh runs antiques dealership Belle and Beast Emporium and trades online and at Maltings Antiques in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, as well as at fairs.

Among the vintage and antique items offered online is this 3ft 8in (1.12m) high 1970s burnished brass palm tree floor lamp by Parisian design firm Maison Jansen (1880-1989).

Pugh (also pictured above right) says Maison Jansen was one of the influential interior decorating houses of the 20th century “patronised by royalty, socialites and other luminaries of elite society”.

It is priced at £2495.

Above: Robert Bruty in his newly opened shop at 18 Cecil Court.

Cecil Court, the charming pedestrianised street lined with Victorian shop frontages off London’s Charing Cross Road, has welcomed a new tenant, writes Laura Chesters.

Dealer Robert Bruty has opened at number 18 with a focus on lighting from the period 1820-1920s as well as some furniture and decorative items.

His early years in the trade included working for a restorer and he later sold from shops in the Old Kent Road, Crystal Palace and Forest Hill, all in south London.

After more than five years without a premises and at age 67, Bruty decided it was time to run a shop again.

He said: “Cecil Court is a thriving community and a pleasant place to be and to trade.

“The landlord here is very understanding and pro the antiques trade. They have really made it an independent community here with a great mix of people.”

The area is growing for art and antiques dealerships with established dealers including Bryars & Bryars, Daniel Bexfield and Panter & Hall.

Auction house Sworders also operates a showroom from the street.

Vibrant hubJust before the pandemic and the UK’s lockdown in March 2020, porcelain specialist Serhat Ahmet opened a shop. Ahmet also sings the praises of the street and its landlord.

He said: “Despite the pandemic, I am extremely pleased to have made the move to Cecil Court when I did. Cecil Court is fast becoming London’s most vibrant and varied antiques hub and it continues to go from strength to strength with each new shop opening.

“That there are no empty premises on the Court is a testament to this. It is set within an equally vibrant neighbourhood which makes for an enjoyable buying destination for collectors of ceramics, silver and Art Deco to name but a few specialisms of the dealers here.

“In the first week of November, I would usually be exhibiting at a fair, but this year my customers have found me at the shop, and often found it a preferred way to buy – and for me, it is certainly a preferred way to sell. It has taken some time, but business has really picked up to what feels like the levels last seen some two years ago.”

Another recent addition was Matthew Foster’s Art Deco Gallery at number 11 at the end of last year.

Cecil Court was laid out in the 17th century and is still owned by a branch of the family from which it takes its name: the Cecils of Hatfield House in Hertfordshire who are the descendants of the 1st Earl of Salisbury Robert Cecil (1563-1612).

Bruty joins the cheery Cecil Court line-up

1 How did you get your start? After training at Christie’s and Phillips Chester I started working under David Dickinson where I learned the trade on the road. It was so interesting viewing sales up and down the country and showing at the Olympia Fairs.

2 What is your area of focus? Furniture – which is my great love. Exhibition, Arts & Crafts and important 20th century, and I tend to focus on signed and designed pieces.

3 Have you noticed any collecting trends in the last 6-12 months? For us, the interior design side of the

business has been incredibly busy. Most dealers by nature, taste and organisational skills tend to make good interior designers. It always helps to have two strings to your bow.

4 What is one item you couldn’t do without? A pessimistic book-keeper.

5 Real ale or espresso martini? After spending the first half of my life never wanting to stay in, now I never want to go out! Can’t believe I’m saying this... but probably nowadays a lovely cup of tea hits the spot.

The new art and antiques online marketplace portal The Bruno Effect (TBE) has launched this month with more than 30,000 items of antiques, vintage and contemporary design from hundreds of dealers across the US, UK and Europe.

Founded by former 1stDibs International managing director Carmine Bruno, the portal launched on November 10.

Bruno said: “This marketplace is a long time in the making. Though we started building it 18 months ago, I’ve believed for many years that there’s a better way to connect interior designers and collectors to a global supply of the finest antique, vintage and contemporary design.”

He said TBE aims to “liberate the design community by giving them what they want: one place to source the best global high-end furniture and collectibles and connect directly with the dealers”.

TBE also operates a digital publication called Effect Magazine and to celebrate the launch of the site TBE has teamed up with American designer Schuyler Samperton and British interior designer Shalini Misra who have curated collections on the site this month.

In a timed auction, there is no auctioneer taking bids from a live audience in a room. Instead, all the bidding takes place online.

Timed auctions have an end-time displayed on the lot page. You can bid at any point from when the auction opens to when it closes.

As a bidder, you can enter a max bid – the most you are willing to bid, using our set bidding increments and we do the rest. We will bid intelligently for you, bidding only enough for you to meet the reserve or stay in the lead.

Your max bid stays secret in our system. We won’t share your maximum bid with the auctioneer, the seller or other bidders.

You’ll see your ‘current bid’ when you log in and view the lot. If someone bids higher than your maximum, we will send you an ‘outbid alert’ via email, so you can decide whether to bid more.

If a bid is placed in the final few minutes before the auction closes for that lot, the time period will be extended by a number of minutes. The auction house can set the number of minutes, usually 10.

This is to stop ‘sniping’ – a practice used by bidders on some other websites whereby they rush to place bids in the last few seconds to prevent other bidders being able to respond before the auction closes.

“The plate is one of 60 from the service Napoleon was allowed to take to St Helena

Title winners: named services attract extra auction interestDessert plate taken to St Helena exile by Napoleon demonstrates provenance value

£1 = SFr 1.26/€1.16Sèvres porcelain from commissioned, named services – an aspect of production that was prolific during the French Empire period – always attracts a premium over standard factory pieces.

This is even more the case if it can be tied directly to Napoleon himself.

Tuileries deliveryThe sale series titled L’Empire à Fontainebleau held by Osenat (25/18% buyer’s premium inc tax) in the French town from November 8-10 featured a large quantity of Sèvres.

A number of pieces came from named services including a prime example that ticked all the boxes.

A rare 9in (23cm) diameter dessert plate, painted with a snow-covered mountain scene by the artist Jacques François Joseph Swebach (1769-1823), came from a service known as the Service Particulier de l’Empereur or Service des Quartiers Généraux.

It was ordered by Napoleon in October 1807 and delivered to the Tuileries palace on April 27, 1810, and comprised an entrée and dessert service, a biscuit surtout de table of 25 sculptures and an Egyptian cabaret of 29 pieces.

The scene in the centre of the

by Anne Crane

plate offered at the Osenat auction, which is signed by Swebach, depicts the elaborate funeral ceremony that Napoleon arranged to be held on the Mount St Bernard for General Desaix. The general was killed at the Battle of Marengo in 1800 coming to Napoleon’s rescue against the Austrians and is buried in the St Bernard Hospice.

In Swebach’s scene officers can be seen gathering on the mountain, some of them riding on sleighs.

The plate is one of 60 from the service that Napoleon was allowed to take with him to his exile on St Helena, a provenance that gave it an extra attraction. Twenty-three plates from the service are now at the Château de Fontainebleau; 19 at

the Fondation Napoléon; three at the Château de Malmasion; three at the Musée royal de l’armée in Brussels; two in the Musée de Sèvres; one in the Louvre and some others in private collections.

The plate was estimated at €140,000-180,000 but that guide was outstripped on the day when it sold for €280,000 (£241,380).

Meissen marvelsAs a name with a global following of enthusiasts, Meissen porcelain crops up in sales all over the world.

It usually features among the auctions of furniture and decorative arts at Koller (25/22/15% buyer’s premium) in Zurich and on September 30 a section of ceramics was dominated by pieces from the

This KPM porcelain plaque will feature in Woody Auction’s next sale in Kansas on December 4.

The plaque, which has an overall size of 16 x 14in (41 x 35.5cm) and is marked KPM, is decorated with a robed man kneeling before a crucifix and book and is titled Eremit (Hermit).

Meissen decorated in Kakiemon style

Hermit emerges in Kansas

Meissen factory. Among them was an early piece of Böttger stoneware: a 6in (15cm) high pilgrim flask from 1711.

This sculptural piece derived from a silver shape featured relief moulded decoration attributed to Johann Jacob Irminger of female masks to the shoulders and a band of lambrequins to the base.

It generated enough interest to make SFr54,000 (£42,860).

A pair of models of a lion and a lioness with her cubs were dated to c.1751-53 and probably a JJ Kandler model. They had underglaze blue sword marks to the edge of the rockwork and were mounted on ormolu bases in Louis XV style. They took SFr50,000 (£39,680). n

Dealer portal takes over 70-year-old Chelsea fair

A nude study by Dame Laura Knight (1877-1970) found plenty of admirers when it appeared at the latest fine art sale held by Penzance saleroom David Lay (18% buyer’s premium).

Dating from c.1913, it depicts Ella Naper – the same sitter who appears in the artist’s most famous painting Self-portrait with nude which dates from around the same

Pick of the week

time and is now in the National Portrait Gallery.The auctioneer on the rostrum on January 28 was her

great-great niece Caroline Lay, who is art sale manager at the auction house.

The catalogue entry suggested this was an ‘early study of Ella Naper that led to Knight’s most celebrated work’.

Chelsea Antiques Fair is to return later this year under the ownership of an online dealing platform.

Caroline Penman, who has run the venerable event at the Chelsea Old Town Hall since the early 1980s, had recently been looking to sell the event.

She has now agreed a deal for an undisclosed fee with 2Covet.com founders Steve Sly, Charles Wallrock (both dealers) and marketing specialist Zara Rowe.

While coronavirus restrictions remain in place there is no confirmed date for the first fair. However, an event in autumn this year is planned.

‘Return to former glory’Sly, Wallrock and Rowe created 2Covet.com in 2019 as a platform for dealers to sell online.

Sly said: “With the continued threat of Covid on our minds we strongly feel the market will relish smaller boutique events such as the historic Chelsea Antiques Fair. It is a time to return the fair to its former glory years.”

The fair would normally run in March but last year’s edition was cancelled due to the virus.

The autumn event will host around 30 dealers, initially inviting 2Covet members and former Chelsea exhibitors, across a seven-day event.

Continued on page 8

So what am I bid for my great-great aunt?

Caroline Lay (pictured below), art sale manager at David Lay, is the great-great niece of Ella Naper who sat for this painting by Laura Knight. It sold for £105,000 in Penzance on January 28.

How to go green in GlasgowBe inspired by the recent COP26 summit and buy sustainable, recycled items in the host city

COP26, the two-week global summit in Glasgow ended on November 12 and with it the traffic congestion and road closures in place during this mega-event.

Here is a short focus on a few antiques businesses in the city so a trip to these and many others in Glasgow can be planned (offsetting your journey by buying sustainable, recycled antique items, of course).

West side storiesThe West End area of Glasgow includes Finnieston, on the north bank of the River Clyde, home to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and once described by The

by Joan Porter Times as the hippest place in the UK.Two antiques businesses here

are Glasgow City Antiques in Lancefield Street and Finnieston Antiques in Argyle Street.

The former is a huge warehouse packed out with predominantly but not exclusively furniture – antique, Mid-century, Arts & Crafts – plus plenty of glass, ceramics and other choice pieces, from 35 dealers.

Simone Mayer, who has owned this business for 15 years, said: “November is one of our busiest months so we lost half of that due to COP26 but up to then business has been excellent. Our other two hectic months are January and February so we look forward to those.

“We do sell a lot of furniture as well as small collectables including

to locals and private buyers from London.”

Hidden findMohsen Souli owns Finnieston Antiques in the tucked-away Hidden Lane, a mix of designer and craft studios, art galleries and quirky shops.

Before COP26 started on October 23 he had been concerned about the impact of road closures on his business, which specialises in Asian art and includes a cafe, but Souli was upbeat before the summit ended.

B2B Events has announced the cancellation of its last event of the year, the Malvern Flea & Collectors’ Fair at the Three Counties Showground on Sunday, December 5.

B2B Events director Helen Yourston said: ”The showground is running its Christmas festival across the ground until January 9 so our next flea fair date is on Sunday January 16.”

Yourston added that the Edinburgh Antiques, Vintage & Collectors’ Fair scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, November 27-28 at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh has been postponed but she looks forward to welcoming everyone back when their fairs restart at this venue on Saturday and Sunday, February 19-20.

Portobello and Golborne markets are opening for four Sundays only before Christmas this year: November 28, December 5, December 12 and December 19.

The markets will have a community feel with local businesses joining in to sell gifts with a festive twist, along with some antiques and vintage traders plus artists and musicians all adding to the buzzy pre-Christmas atmosphere.

Letters & Opinion

A group of dealers will be putting themselves on show for once instead of displaying art and antiques.

Traders at Antiques Bazaar in Crewkerne, Somerset, have created a calendar firmly in the spirit of that produced by the Women’s Institute, the trailblazing example launched in 1998 and later celebrated in movie form.

Each month depicts a trader, or trader-couple, “tastefully posed, dis-robed, but their modesty preserved by their stock”, says the centre. ‘Old Father Time’ stars in January; an ‘Easter Bunnie’ for April; ‘Halloween Hi-jinks’ for October; and mince pies and sherry for December, with many others in between.

The calendars are for sale only from Antiques Bazaar, at a cost of £10 each plus £3.20P&P if mailed (email

[email protected] or call 01460 77121). All proceeds will go to Cancer Research UK, as Antiques Bazaar funded the photography, design and production costs.

Antiques Bazaar is marking its 10th birthday in 2022 and the calendars are the first of many fundraising initiatives planned for next year, culminating in an ‘evening of fun and festivity’ around August 1, the opening anniversary date.

The business occupies a former textile weaving mill. Since 1988 the premises have been known for house clearances, and antique and modern furniture.

Then in 2012 the operation evolved into an antiques centre and is currently home to around 80 independent traders.

“I have been unable to find either painting’s whereabouts now, nor any mention of a portrait of Lady Sybil

Write to ATG at:[email protected]

I would be grateful if any of your readers could possibly identify the sitter/artist of the attached image.

I assume it is a self-portrait of the artist. I have contacted museums, auction houses, curators, galleries etc in Europe without success – all agree it is a very striking image. My feeling is (based on the hairstyle) that it is from the Weimar period.

That portrait looks more like Lady Sybil’s mother-in-lawI write in response to the appeal from Mark Berridge, archivist of Bude Castle (Letters, ATG No 2516), who asked for information about a portrait allegedly of Lady Sybil Edith Mary Nicholson (1880-1946), who lived in the castle from 1930.

From the small monochrome photograph he attached, it appears to me that the subject is in fact Sybil’s mother-in-law, Lady Mary Nicholson, nee Romilly (1841-1921), and that the artist was Louisa Canziani Starr [British, 1845-1909]. If so, the painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1884, The New Gallery in 1892 and The United Arts Club in 1908.

Confusingly, Herbert Arnould Olivier [British, 1861-1952] painted his sister, another, distantly related, Lady Nicholson (Lady Evelyn Louise Nicholson, nee Olivier) which was exhibited at the RA in 1894. Although the photograph seems

more like a Canziani than an Olivier. I have been unable to find either painting’s whereabouts now, nor any mention of a portrait of Lady Sybil Nicholson.

I’d get out more, but I keep going down rabbit holes.

I understand that the Battersea antiques fair had to be ticketed this time to recoup monies lost to previous cancellations.

I hope this practice is a one-off as I normally attend the Battersea fairs on complimentary tickets,and even though £10 is not a great deal of money, it will put people off.

With regard to the comments in ATG No 2514 that it brought a greater concentration of serious buyers, maybe so, but surely these buyers would come anyway, and complimentary tickets will entice the general buyer at the lower end of the market.

A bit clinical I also attended the Firsts book fair at the Saatchi Gallery on October 23 and enjoyed the atmosphere of a book fair after nearly two years away.

However, although the gallery is fine I found it a bit clinical after the homeliness of Olympia and then Battersea – very stark. I wonder if anyone else feels this way.

I’m sure we will all get used to it and that the book dealers are pleased to be back selling face to face with the public.

Robert Duckworth

ATG replies: One person’s ‘clinical’ is another person’s spacious, well-lit venue.

Three members of the ATG team visited Firsts at various points during its run.

One reported virtually unanimous

I read your great publication well after it’s published, but if no one has come up with anything better here’s something about the prints asked about in your July 10 issue (Letters, ATG No 2500 – see picture right).

A possible explanation is that the prints were published by Louis-Marin Bonnet, who in 1774 started publishing prints with a faked English origin in order to add gilding to the prints. In 1776 he opened a shop, Au Magasin Anglois.

The gilding on prints stopped in 1777 but at a guess he continued to use the deception from time to time.

This information comes from catalogue entry 30-34 in Colorful Impressions from the National Gallery of Art, Washington 2004.

I was disappointed to read Christiane Pearl’s letter (‘Why I believe younger buyers need a reality check’, ATG No 2513).

Like Ms Pearl, I have an online store selling antiques, vintage items and collectables and like Ms Pearl I have lots of unrealistic offers that I automatically decline.

These come from people of all ages and to blame it on young people or suggest it comes from one generation seems incredibly unfair and ageist.

I do hope that any young people who subscribe to ATG don’t feel like they are unwelcome after reading this. Many of us value our younger customers and want to encourage younger generations in their interest in antiques.

Furthermore Ms Pearl’s letter comes across as petty and relies on tired stereotypes of young people, using cheap jokes about what they drink.

Sonia Vitale

Don’t forget the more general Battersea buyers when it comes to ticket provision

Unrealistic offers come from people of all ages, actuallly

positivity among the dealers on the opening night, exemplified by this comment from a trader who told us: “We deal in a lot of this material, but rarely have the space to properly showcase such a wide range of it, so we were very grateful to be able to really do it justice.”

The second ATG colleague says: “I came away thinking the organisers had done a really good job. The layout flowed well between the rooms and it was easy to get from floor to floor.

“For me, ‘clinical’ is not how I would have described it but if you are used to more traditional book fairs then it’s understandable. ‘Refreshing’ would be my word. The contemporary space held the traditional exhibits well – the contrast worked for me.”

The third took this photo below which illustrates the point. For some it might look ‘clinical’, others might see a relaxed setting where dealers and visitors have time – and space – for a good discussion.

A full report on Firsts will appear in next week’s ATG.

Art Detective Help identify mystery worksAn occasional feature on mystery works the Art UK charity is seeking help to identify.

Art UK, a charity with a website showcasing artworks in UK public collections, runs the Art Detective forum where specialists and members of the public are invited to help fill in gaps in the knowledge of public art.

Its latest question concerns this portrait by Mary Beale (1633-99) in the Dulwich Picture Gallery in south london. The sitter is not known.Can you help to identify the sitter, who is holding an anatomical drawing? Suggestions for his identity include the physician-poet Sir Richard Blackmore (d.1729) and the physician Sir Edmund King (1629-1709). Jennifer Scott, Sackler director of Dulwich Picture Gallery, said: “He is a professional man who can afford to have his portrait painted by one of the very best.”

Scott discussed the portrait in Art Unlocked, an online talk series developed by Art UK in

collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies, on June 16 (see https://bit.ly/3wIIdBC).The attribution to Beale has been made

independently by several art historians. Beale had a studio in Pall Mall and her portraits were in great demand at the height of her career in the 1670s. The Dulwich Picture Gallery also noted that the pose matches that of Godfrey Kneller’s 1690 portrait of the shipbuilder Sir Anthony Deane holding a

drawing of a ship (National Portrait Gallery). View this picture online here: https://bit.ly/3wDIXbjIf you have information that may help visit

Re: Letters, ATG No 2498, ‘Mystery machine’. Bob Horlock asks if one could identify his machine. It is an orange paring machine, but would also peel apples and probably potatoes.

I have one labelled THE CHANDOS, likely English manufacture c.1900-20, but could also be American.

Success storyAn American parer/peeler with the same shape of the fruit holder was made by the Goodell Co of Antrim, New Hampshire, as the ‘Success Orange Peeler’, using a Fred G Mower patent (number 1,008,555) dated November 14, 1911.

The Goodell parer’s instructions advised that the knife was set for large

fruit but could be adjusted for small fruit.The Goodell parer does not have the

same gear number and arrangement as the Chandos or probably as Mr Horlock’s machine. The ATG image does not show all the detail but perhaps Mr Horlock has other views of his parer and I might then be able to comment further.

I attach an image of the Chandos which indicates the similarity.

ATG notes: thanks also to Tony Wheal of Laxfield, Suffolk, who pointed out that the object “looks exactly the same design as my spiral fruit peeler”.

In answer to your article on the Portobello Road area consultation (ATG No 2495), here are some possible improvements I would suggest.

I have a stand in the Admiral Vernon Arcade selling antique sewing tools. My immediate neighbours sell paintings and antique/vintage textiles. We work to make our stands attractive. The other businesses – cafes, food, clothes – all owe their business to us.l Clean and repaint where ever

possible, clean the outside awnings of bird droppings, make sure the fans are working in the summer. We need the road to look attractive to any visitors and possible property owners.l Allot numbered parking spaces

to dealers who pay a year in advance. Allow free parking Sundays.l Install Wi-Fi in the arcades l Improve the Portobello website,

list shippers, foreign currency

exchange – everything to make buying easy.l Encourage dealers to have

their own websites – a web arranger could advertise a special rate for new dealers and local businesses.

l Get inspiration from The Fleas (Clignancourt market) in Paris with photos of outside cafes, well-dressed patrons. l The housing in

Paris keeps the character of the market as it was

an old residential quarter built probably before the market. It is important to keep away from big blocks of flats that overpower the road and its stands.

We love the Portobello. Residents and dealers alike, we need to fight for it to retain its unique character. It beats Buckingham Palace for tourist visits. Let’s do it.

The article Napoleon and Josephine reunited (Dealers’ Diary, ATG No 2495) is indeed most interesting.

The two pendant 18th century oil paintings of General Buonaparte and Madam Buonaparte, as they would have been known at the time, were completed when their recent marriage was in a very precarious position. Napoleon had to leave soon after the wedding to take command of the army of Italy. He wrote Josephine letters, sometimes pleading, sometimes scolding, exhorting her to join him in Italy.

However, she was fully occupied with a young officer called Hippolyte Charles and had no desire to make the arduous journey to Italy. Eventually she could not ignore his entreaties any longer and she set out for Milan with Charles for company,

It was from this inauspicious start that one of the most enduring love stories in

history began. They witnessed together great splendour and great depravity. honour and betrayal, truth and lies, marriage and divorce – yet all through this they never stopped loving each other.

There is a golden thread that runs through the French first empire and that is the abiding love and affection that the two people at its head felt for each other, and why the names Napoleon and Josephine will never be separated.

Graham Bowers Newport, Isle of Wight

The directors of The Canterbury Auction Galleries are shocked and deeply saddened to report the sudden death of Tony Pratt, the chairman of the company.

He passed away quietly at his home on June 11, the day of his 66th birthday. He had celebrated 30 years in the business in April.

Managing director Dave Parker said Tony’s death had stunned everyone who knew him. He said: “Tony was entirely dedicated to the business he took over in 1991 and in his memory, I and my fellow directors will continue to drive it forward in the manner Tony would have expected.”

The funeral will be private.

Asian art specialist Gerald Davison has released his fourth and final book and it is a heavyweight work – literally.Weighing in at nearly 1kg, Marks on Chinese Ceramics has already been well received.Davison decided to publish this book himself through his website rather than through international distributors as before.

“I opened the website without fanfare to make sure it was functioning well and the first print run sold out in under four weeks,” he says. A larger run of the book is now available.Davison has been a dealer for 60 years (starting when he was 18) and he wrote his first book in 1987. He followed this in 1994 and 2010 (as well as several reprints of each one) and said his “latest book brings to a conclusion my research and unique work on the subject”.

He adds: “Inscriptions and marks of varying types appeared on Chinese pottery and porcelain with increasing frequency from the Tang Dynasty (618-906CE) through to the Republic in the early years of the 20th century” and that his book is the “only reference work in any language to deal exhaustively with the entire range of these very diverse marks”.Across 400 pages there are illustrations of 4200 individual marks.

Highly recommendedColin Sheaf, global head of Asian art at Bonhams, has already reviewed the book. He said it is: “Hugely expanded, crucially extended to cover 20th century ceramics for the first time, and handily cross-referenced for maximum usefulness. This is one of the very few reference books that are genuinely essential for anyone interested in Chinese-taste ceramics.”

Davison hopes his new book will be as popular as his other publications but was surprised to find buyers are so keen that there has even been criminal activity to secure the work.

“An interesting aspect of my books is that the old editions get advertised at fantastic prices on eBay and Amazon for example, often changing hands for many hundreds of pounds,” he said. “One of my small 1987 books that originally sold for £10 is currently advertised at £425! The reality is that each new publication has made earlier editions obsolete. “Within days of my new 2021 book being sold, copies started appearing on eBay at very inflated prices. I now advertise the same book on eBay at the normal price to try to stem this profiteering.

“But the new reprint even appeared for sale on eBay before we had sold any and it turned out they were stolen from the binders and the police are now investigating.” chinesemarks.com

Anne has been selling lace, bobbins and textiles for the past four decades and her son Phil joined gradually. He now runs the business following Anne stepping back from the day-to-day operations. They also trade via Instagram and eBay.@swift_antique_lace

1 Anne, when and where did you start dealing? It began with the art market along the railings at Green Park in the late 1970s, before moving to Portobello market in the early 1980s, where I began to sell antique textiles.

2 Phil, when did you become involved in the business and why?As the child of an antique dealer, you’re

sort of ‘involved’ from the beginning, in that you get taken along to markets, auctions, etc. It was only recently that I realised I’d picked up quite a lot of knowledge about antique lace from my mum without actively learning it, so I thought I would have a go!

3 What is one challenge that Portobello Road dealers face? The main challenge has been longstanding – exacerbated by the pandemic. It is that many premises formerly home to antique dealers (either in galleries or in shops) have been turned into cafes, chain stores, estate agents etc. Portobello antiques market is an ecology under threat. Unless the antiques section of Portobello Road is given some sort of protected status (perhaps like Savile Row), I can’t see how the trend can be halted.

4 One object you couldn’t do without? Being on a stall outside in all weathers, a tarpaulin is pretty essential.5 What sort of buyers look for antique lace?

It’s a mixture of collectors, dealers and designers. Antique lace is something of a rarefied market.

In the year commemorating 200 years since the death of Napoleon, pendant portraits of Napoleon and Josephine Bonaparte have been reunited after more than a century apart.They are now on show at dealership Robilant+Voena’s Envisioning an Empire: Napoleon and Josephine reunite exhibition in London running until June 27.The portraits by Italian neoclassical painter Andrea Appiani (1754-1817) were somehow separated in the past 200 years. Completed in 1796 in Milan, the pair are believed to have come to the UK the following year.

The exhibition is curated by Carolyn H Miner, who said: “The Napoleon, and likely the Josephine, were brought to Great Britain by Earl Wycombe soon after they were painted.“A Whig politician, he hoped Bonaparte would limit the intemperance of the

French Revolutionaries. In 1800 Wycombe distributed a print of the painting of Napoleon as propaganda, advocating the young general’s success.”The portrait of Napoleon (Napoleon Bonaparte with Genius of Victory) is on loan to the exhibition from the Earl of Rosebery (Sotheby’s Harry Dalmeny), enabling the reunion of the pendants. It has been part of the collection at Dalmeny House since 1885.

The Josephine portrait is believed to have been inherited by Earl Wycombe’s widow, subsequently owned by Dowager Marchioness of Lansdowne, then in a private collection before being sold at Christie’s in October 1999 as ‘Portrait of a lady’ when it was bought by Duchess Salviati.Josephine Bonaparte Crowning the Myrtle tree is on offer from Robilant+Voena with an asking price of £850,000. robilantvoena.com

“I will be relieved that the albatross is gone

The revocation of the European Union’s cultural goods regulation in Great Britain could leave Northern Ireland exposed, according to cultural property experts.

The UK government is in the process of revoking the EU regulation on the Import of Cultural Goods.

This step has been widely welcomed by the art and antiques trade due to the complexity of the regulation and the onerous impact on

dealers and auction houses.However, the manner of the

repeal could have unforeseen consequences, according to heritage body, the UK National Committee of the Blue Shield (UKBS).

It has warned that the government is unprepared to “handle the challenges of maintaining distinct systems for the import of cultural goods into different parts of the UK” and has “sign i f icantly underestimated the risks this might pose to the increase of illicit traff icking through Northern Ireland”.

UKBS does not oppose the revocation and acknowledged that the regulation has been widely criticised for its potential effects on what many countries may recognise as legally owned objects which have no contribution to terrorist financing.

Impact assessmentInstead, the organisation is urging government to plan for the impact it will have.

As part of Brexit, on May 19 the UK began to repeal the EU Regulation on the Introduction and the Import of Cultural

Goods (EU 2019/880) in Great Britain, but not Northern Ireland. This difference could create major challenges if the UK is not well prepared, UKBS has warned.

Fionnuala Rogers, cultural property lawyer and chair of UKBS, said: “It is highly likely that the EU will want to ensure that Northern Ireland does not become a gateway for cultural goods to enter the EU in violation of the Regulation.

“Equivalent checks will need to be carried out in Great Britain, and UK customs will need to ensure that cultural

goods being exported to Northern Ireland, whether destined for the EU or not, have not been illegally exported from their country of origin, a check that is not currently required at UK borders. Ultimately, the UK is going to have to make some significant changes as a result of this regulation, despite the revocation.”

The UK government is due to debate the issues after the recess in June. UKBS added that it is “essential that the UK government considers these m a t t e r s d u r i n g t h e parliamentary debate”.

North America, produced in Cambridge, Massachusetts, around 1638. No copy of this diminutive broadsheet was thought to have survived – until 1985 when the Utah documents dealer (and master forger and convicted murderer) Mark Hoffman claimed to have discovered a copy in a New York bookstore.

The simple 4 x 6in (10 x 15cm) sheet fooled scores of bibliophiles including Schiller, who entered negotiations to sell it to the Library of Congress for $1.5m.

It was turned down not because the Oath was deemed a fake but “because of questions

about its price, provenance and title”.

Hoffman – the subject of a number of books and documentaries including the current Netf lix hit Murder Among the Mormons – pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder and is serving a life sentence in the Utah State Prison. He later confessed to prosecutors that The Oath of a Freeman was an elaborate fabrication involving 17thh

century paper, printing ink created using a 400-year-old recipe and a manufactured printing plate. He planted it in the shelves of a second-hand bookstore so it could be ‘discovered’ and bought for $25.

Hofmann went to prison owing Schiller more than $300,000.

The bookseller is offering the Oath, housed in the slipcover made by the Library of Congress when it considered the purchase, via a court order that allows him to recoup some of that lost money.

He says it will be a relief to finally part with it. “With all its notoriety you could call it the most famous 20th century American forgery. Because it

has been a painful experience, I will be relieved that the albatross is gone.”

It has an opening bid of £10,000 as part of Heritage’s Rare Books Signature auction in Texas on June 9-10.

The LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair usually held in the autumn in London’s Berkeley Square has been cancelled for a second year running.

The association has decided it is too much of a risk to plan to stage the event.Difficult decisionIn a statement Freya Simms, CEO of LAPADA, said the board had taken the “difficult decision” to cancel the event because “there are simply too many impediments and unknowns for us to be able to proceed with confidence”.

Under current government guidance indoor and outdoor fairs can go ahead later this year and LAPADA will proceed with the LAPADA Pavilion at the Game Fair in

Warwickshire on July 23-25 where a number of LAPADA dealers have taken stands.

Simms added: “We have been busy forging partnerships with other events. In addition to the Game Fair we are running a similar arrangement at the Scottish Game Fair which will be held at Scone Palace in Perthshire (September 24-26), which LAPADA members are welcome to join.”

LAPADA is also in talks about other London-based initiatives planned for September.

The association says these “may appeal to LAPADA members as an alternative to the LAPADA fair in Berkeley Square, and we will provide an update on these as soon as the details are confirmed.”

One mystery solved…

…a new one for you to weigh upI write again with another mystery.

I have two prints which are undoubtedly French. Both are titled in English, The Sump and The Balance with text underneath in Latin and English. Beneath the painting it reads ‘Teuh Pinx’ bottom left and “Tennob direxit’ bottom right. Then at the bottom it reads: ‘London Publ 30 Jany 1787. Sold at Tobe and Mrs Vivares Widow’. After a brainwave I realised that Tueh is Huet backwards and Tennob is Bonnet, both famous French artists. Can anybody explain?

Bob Horlock

ATG adds: pinx might be short for pinxit meaning here ‘painted’ or ‘retouched’; direxit ‘arranged’ or ‘directed’. From the photo supplied we’re not able to make out all the letters in the rest of the text but it appears as follows in Latin: ‘Quid video? quid et ipse canis? Quid cauta puella? Libramen nimium Sie (or Su?) male cavit (or cauit?) amor.’ The English text (not a translation of the Latin) appears to read: ‘Incautious Love the Balance mounts in air, And shews below the Secrets of the fair’. The word play would presumably refer to the somewhat compromising position of the young lady at the bottom of the balance.

Bonnet the bounder?

I wonder whether anyone can help in my quest. I am researching for a book on the history of The Castle here in Bude, Cornwall [built in 1830 by inventor, engineer and scientist Sir Goldsworthy Gurney, now a heritage centre].

There was a lady who took ownership of The Castle in 1930 called Lady Sybil Nicholson, whose husband was Admiral Sir Douglas Nicholson.

I have been passed a poor image of a painting of Lady Nicholson (left) and I am trying to find out where it is, who painted it and most of all, get a better image of the painting; if it still exists!

Lady Nicholson was born in 1880 in Kensington and in the picture she looks around 30/40ish which would date the picture

to about early 1900s. I’m guessing her age and she may be younger or older in the painting.

Someone may have a better idea due to the style or portrait and the clothes she is wearing.

Can anyone help in my search? I would be very delighted if any light could be shed or anything to help me narrow my search.

We only have a small photo of her and it would be great to get a better image of this portrait – she was the only ever owner and resident of The Castle; everyone else were tenants.

For a chance to see an early preview of the film of the antiques dealer play Quinneys, as covered on The Back Page last week (ATG No 2517) there are 10 free tickets up for grabs (on a first come, first served basis).

Written by Horace Vachell, the play is set in the world of the fictional antiques dealer Joseph Quinney. It was a major hit on its release in 1915. The new production, the first in more than 70 years, is part of the Arts & Humanities Research Council-funded (AHRC) project The Year of the Dealer led by Dr Mark Westgarth at the University of Leeds.

The limited tickets are available for the screening of Quinneys at York Picture House (with wine and canapes) on November 24 at 5.30pm. For a chance to receive a ticket email [email protected] before November 17.

I have been a collector of early old Sheffield plate of the first period, for more than 50 years, and continue to buy at online UK auctions. I am resident in France.

I recently bought two lots, one from a south-west England saleroom and one from a northern saleroom. The two lots were shipped (one from the former and one from the latter).

Charges to be paidThe one sent from the south-west was delivered as normal with no extra charges, while that from the north had been opened and a charge of customs tax and clearance charges amounting to 37% of the hammer price applied, to be paid on delivery.

The package sent from south-west had attached a ‘Commercial Invoice’ which included a description of the lot as ‘antique decorative candlesticks’ and a Tariff Code 9706.000060. It appears this is a standard practice for their overseas buyers.

The package from the north included a copy of the standard auction house’s invoice containing the description from the catalogue, which contained no mention of

Brexit means the correct tariff code and full commercial invoice is crucial when posting

‘antique’ or ‘tariff code’.It appears that the south-western

saleroom has its own very effective standard practice for items bought by overseas customers.

It would be very helpful if you could clarify the current position post Brexit regarding ‘antiques’ and tariff codes.

Name supplied

ATG asked fine art shipping company Convelio for an expert’s view on this letter. Jasmine Ramsay Gray (right), head of operations UK, sent this reply:

Prior to Brexit, customers resident in Europe were not required to pay any duties or taxes on purchases from UK vendors and vice versa.

Since Brexit and the ending of this frictionless system, there are more costs involved and administration required for businesses selling between the UK and EU. Businesses and customers located in EU countries need to ensure that these costs

are understood so that there are no delays or unexpected payments to be made during the customs process.

All items must be shipped with a full commercial invoice that explains to customs officials what is being imported, including the type of object, its age, production origin and materials from which it is made.

A tariff code is an internationally used abbreviation that explains to customs officials quickly what the item is; the correct tariff code must be used to ensure that the correct charges are paid by the importer.

A tariff code starting with 9706 is used to designate items which are considered ‘antique’, and in the eyes of the law, this must be over 100 years old.

Sometimes, a written and signed statement is also provided by the vendor to testify that the item is over 100 years old. Items declared as ‘antiques’ in this way can then have a lower rate of import taxes.

It may be more time-consuming for businesses to create more paperwork to accompany their shipments going between the UK and EU, and to search for the correct tariff code, but items which are missing documents or are labelled with an incorrect tariff code risk being held up in customs, or even returned to the seller. It is important that this administration is completed correctly.
