Police rescue
big stash of
church relics
■ Collector’s tip-off leads to
arrest over spate of break-ins
Tom Derbyshire
reports
MORE than 60 artefacts
stolen from English and Welsh
country churches over the
past few years have been
recovered by police after they
were alerted by a collector.
While some items have been returned,
the West Mercia force is launching an
appeal to trace the owners of the many
relics as yet unidentified.
Police have arrested a 50-year-old man
from Wales in connection with the series
of thefts, which ATG has covered on many
occasions to alert the trade. The man was
released on bail and is due to be further
interviewed on his return to Hereford
police station.
Det Con Tony Lewis, based in Hereford,
told ATG: “Operation Icarus is a West
Mercia-headed investigation into multiple
theft offences from churches across
England and Wales.
“West Mercia is heading the
investigation as we have the highest
number of offences on us – eight as
it stands today – but I am sure we will
have more as items get identified. Other
offences have occurred in Breconshire,
Monmouthshire, Devon, Suffolk and
Kent to name but a few counties.
“Last year a private collector
from the south east of England
contacted the Met Police Antiques
and Antiquities Department. He made
due diligence reports to them as he was
concerned that he may have bought
items which could have been stolen.”
The collector recognised items from
A £23,000 Benson
light show in Oxford
THE work of designer and architect William
Arthur Smith Benson (1854-1924) entered
a new price arena at Mallams Oxford on
May 13 when this silvered brass ceiling light,
with a scrolling flowerhead design and three
tapering opalescent striped glass shades, by
James Powell & Co of Whitefriars, sold at
£23,000 (plus 20% buyer’s premium).
A similar model is pictured in the original
Benson catalogue of Electric Light Designs
published in WAS Benson: Arts and Crafts
Luminary and Pioneer of Modern Design by Ian
Hamerton, but it is not identical. Several
bidders were prepared to pay well above the
£2500-3500 estimate for a rare design but
just two combatants were involved above
£10,000.
A second WAS Benson electrolier
– also part of a group of ‘ready to go’
Arts and Crafts lights from the same
retiring trade consignor – was a more
recognisable design with three copper
petal shades forming a flowerhead
and four hanging ‘bud’ shades,
again by Powell.
It sold online at £8200 – a
price more in keeping with the
previous upper levels for ceiling
lights by Benson.
Left: this silvered brass and glass electrolier combining the
talents of WAS Benson and James Powell sold at £23,000.

Eighteenth century bowl shines as £340,000 highlight in Salisbury
Right: the highlight of the Woolley & Wallis sale of
Asian art held in Salisbury on May 20-21 was this 4in
(10cm) Yongzheng (1723-35) mark and period doucai
lingzhi bowl. By repute purchased in Hong Kong in the
1950s or ‘60s, it has a gently flaring body delicately
decorated with four pairs of ruyi-heads separated by
florets extending to leafy tendrils. Other wine cups of
this delicate design are in the Percival David collection,
while Sotheby’s and Christie’s have also both sold
pairs in Hong Kong in recent years. It was hammered
down at £340,000, plus 20% buyer’s premium,
against a £100,000-150,000 estimate. The buyer was
a Chinese private collector – and “a sea of phones”
were taking pictures of the bidding, say W&W.
Bernheimer shakes things up
SOTHEBY’S will hold a sale of the Bernheimer family collection
in November and Konrad Bernheimer has announced the
family’s Munich art dealership will move from its traditional Old
Master specialism to concentrate on Modern and Contemporary
art under the direction of his daughters.
The two-day sale, of around 700 lots, will comprise artworks
and objects from both the Munich gallery, Bernheimer Old
Masters, and family’s country seat, Burg Marquartstein, a
Medieval castle between Munich and Salzburg which will also
be sold through Sotheby’s International Realty.
Included are items from the attics to the Lapidarium, furniture
and decorations, 19th century paintings, sculpture and Old
Master paintings, as well as works of art, porcelain, books and
manuscripts.
Mr Bernheimer represents the fourth generation of one of
Europe’s major art-dealing families, which was founded in 1864
in Munich, and has led the business since 1977. He now feels it
is time to hand over to the next generation, his daughters, who
will take the business forward in new directions.
However, he will continue to deal in Old Master paintings
as chairman of Colnaghi in London, which the Bernheimers
acquired in 2002. Speaking to ATG, Mr Bernheimer clarified what this would
mean for the business: “There will be no Old Master paintings
any more in Munich. Munich will continue with the emphasis
on Modern and Contemporary, because of my daughters. And
my personal activities in the field of Old Masters will be
concentrated to London, to Colnaghi.”
He added: “Bernheimer and Colnaghi were never really
united; I always kept them as separate entities. And as Munich
will be dealing in Modern and Contemporary and Colnaghi will
definitely continue with Old Master paintings, it will become
even more evident that these are two different companies. “In Maastricht for instance, or in London at Frieze Masters,
there will be no Old Master paintings by Bernheimer. At Frieze
Masters there will be a cooperation between my daughter
Blanca with her company Bernheimer Fine Art Photography and
Colnaghi, and in Maastricht it will be just Colnaghi.” The family’s main residence is in Munich. On the decision
to sell Burg Marquartstein, their country residence, Mr
Bernheimer said: “Unfortunately we never spent enough time
in Marquartstein, and we never could make up our mind to take
it up as our main seat. So we used Marquartstein for weekends
and for holidays, not enough. And, as we said before, none of
our daughters would have taken over, they all live a different
lifestyle, and most of them live either in Switzerland or in
Berlin. I might indeed spend more time in London.”

Hatton Garden victims urged to be patient
EIGHT men have been charged in
connection with the Hatton Garden
heist following 12 coordinated raids
across London and Kent by officers from

Scotland Yard’s Flying Squad.
Police said a number of large bags
containing a “significant amount of high
value” property had been recovered from
one of the addresses raided, but urged
victims to be patient while the items are
carefully examined. Det Supt Craig Turner,
head of the flying squad, said: “Police
officers will be in contact with them in
order that we can restore this property
back to their rightful owners.”
The theft caused embarrassment for
Scotland Yard after detectives were forced
to admit that they had failed to respond
to an intruder alarm that sounded at the
Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company
over the Easter weekend. A total of
72 of the 600 boxes in the vault were
opened. Many of the victims did not have
insurance.
Commander Peter Spindler said: “At
times we’ve been portrayed as if we have
acted like Keystone Cops, but I want to
reassure you that in the finest traditions
of Scotland Yard, these detectives have
done their utmost to bring justice to the
victims of this callous crime.
“They’ve worked tirelessly and
relentlessly, they’ve put their lives on
hold over the last six or seven weeks to
make sure that justice is served. They’ve
exemplified the finest attributes of
Scotland Yard detectives.”
An apology was made for the failure
to respond to the burglar alarm on Good
Friday. “Our normal procedures would
have resulted in police attending the
scene and we apologise that this did not
happen. In this case, the owners had
been notified by the alarm company and
a security guard attended the building but
saw nothing more than our officers would
have done had they been deployed.”
The eight men charged with
conspiracy to burgle, aged between
48 and 76, appeared at Westminster
Magistrates’ Court on May 21 and were
remanded in custody.

media coverage of the theft. As a result
of his information, the Met recovered
a number of items and several of these
were traced to thefts in Herefordshire,
and Holy Trinity Church at Torbryan in
Devon.
DC Lewis added: “In February West
Mercia officers attended the address of
the original collector in the south east. At
that time some 40 exhibits were seized
into police control.
“Some of these exhibits are multiple
items so we have around 60 plus items safe
and secure, being held at a West Mercia
police station.
“These were photographed and the
hunt was on to try and identify where they
had come from and rehome them as soon
as possible to their rightful home.”
Many of the thefts caused damage to
the churches when the works were hacked
away, with one of the worst cases being
Torbryan, where a pair of 15th century
oak panels was ripped out from the rood
screen.
The decorative panels, bearing paintings
of St Victor of Marseilles and St Margaret
of Antioch, are considered of national
importance, and were stolen in August,
2013 (reported in ATG No 2104).
The rood screen and its panels are
one of only a handful of such artworks in
England which survived the Reformation.
Stolen items included stone and
wood carvings, cloth items, stained
glass, tombstone lids, brass plaques,
misericords, sections of carved rood
screens and small glass items.
DC Lewis said: “West Mercia have
sought the help of a number of
organisations and individuals who are all
working together to identify the items we
have recovered. So far we have identified
some 21 items – some of which have
been returned to their home, including
the Torbryan item.
“We are grateful for the assistance of
those helping us to identify these items.
“We would ask all church wardens/
clergy/parishioners to check their
churches to look and see if there are any
items missing.
“We believe the offences started in
2011 and will have ended late summer/
early autumn 2014.
“Some items are very small and some
have been removed from dark corners or
high up in walls.
“As such, the thefts may not have
been noticed. In some cases attempts
have been made to cover a theft, with a
different item placed where the stolen
item was taken from.”
The Churches Conservation Trust,
the national charity that cares for 347
unique churches around England including
Torbryan church, faces a bill of £7,000 to
restore the damage caused by the thieves
hacking the panels out of the screen
during the theft. The trust has launched a
campaign to raise the money
(see visitchurches.org.uk/Torbryan).
Tad gives clues on Sotheby’s future
SOTHEBY’S latest set of results give the
first indication of how Tad Smith will
direct the company.
At his first results conference, just 41
days after arriving at the company, the
new CEO restated his focus was very
much on shareholders and a “vibrant and
compelling” growth strategy.
Sotheby’s first quarter of 2015
returned a net profit of $5.1m compared
to a net loss of $5.9m for the same
period last year. This was against stable
total revenues, which fell 1% from
$156.8m to $155.7m.
Higher buyer’s premium thresholds
operating since February 1 have
combined with a lower share of the
buyer’s premium for key consignors to
boost auction commission margins.
The company have shaved close to
$3m off salaries and related expenses
following their restructure, helping
partially offset the $4.2m cost of bringing
Mr Smith on board.
The auctioneers have also revealed
that they paid $30.7m for their 25%
stake in luxury and classic car auctioneers
RM, now renamed RM Sotheby’s.
A decrease in private sales has also led
to a 40% cut in incentive payments for
staff linked to them, while the hefty legal
bill incurred in 2014 to fight shareholder
activism has fallen away. Mr Smith has
suggested Sotheby’s buy back stock,
where possible, to return more control to
the board.
The latest set of results reveal financial
services at the heart of the firm’s
development. The company’s target of
15% return on equity for shareholders is
dependent on the success of the finance
operation, said Mr Smith.
Revenues here were up 78% for the
quarter at $16m compared to $8.9m for
the same period in 2014.
The average loan portfolio rose 41%
from $481m to $677.6m.
Market share at the top end remains
an essential element of the growth
strategy, with auction guarantees a
central weapon in the armoury for
winning business. However, for those
concerned that once again this would
mean increased risk, the new CEO
promised that Sotheby’s would not “roll
dice with shareholders’ money in the
saleroom”.
“Too early to say,” was Mr Smith’s
response to a number of questions
concerning the company’s future but an
in-depth spending review is high on
the list.

Tiger Tipu burns brighter
■ Impressive return of treasures
a decade after first appearance
shows market strength
Anne Crane and
Gabriel Berner
report
TIPU Sultan was the toast
of London Islamic Week.
Bonhams’ (25/20/12% buyer’s
premium) sale of Indian and
Islamic art held on April 21
was dominated by a 30-lot
ensemble of artefacts relating
to the Tiger of Mysore and
posted the two seven-figure
bids of the series.
These blockbuster prices came for
lots that had come under the hammer
only a decade ago as part of the larger
collection of Tipu Sultan mementoes
assembled by dealer and collector Robin
Wigington that were sold at Sotheby’s in
May 2005.
Back then they were acquired by one
purchaser, the sale’s main buyer, who
secured all their lots over the phone.
Material returning to market so soon
after a high-profile dispersal cannot
always be relied on for a profitable return
but Tipu Sultan – defeated and killed
by the British at the siege of his capital
Seringapatam in 1799 – is, judging by
Above: the 18th century flintlock sporting gun inlaid in gold and silver and carved with a crouching
tiger that sold for £600,000 in Bonhams’ sale of Tipu Sultan artefacts on April 21.
Below: the bronze cannon and field carriage from Seringapatam – £1.2m at Bonhams’.
Right: a quilted
and embroidered
silk helmet from
Mysore –£155,000
at Bonhams.
these results, a different case.
International demand for artefacts
relating to a cross-cultural hero was
even more intense this time. A series
of protracted bidding battles between
around four main phone bidders and the
British-Malaysian entrepreneur Sir Mogan
Lourdenidan in the room took lot after
lot way past Bonhams’ expectations.
The auction house had set its estimates
largely around 2005 levels.
ROBE REFLECTS ASIAN INFLUENCES
This silk lampas robe from the 7th/8th century is a rare survivor of Sogdian silk
production. Characterising the rich and broad cross-cultural mix germinated
at the crossroads of China, central Asia and Persia, it was woven with fine red,
green, blue and cream silk threads influenced by trade with China and decorated
with Sasanian-inspired large medallions containing confronting winged horses
and deer, between smaller floral medallions.
Radiocarbon testing confirmed the date of manufacture to between 664 and
769AD. It sold just under top estimate for £190,000 to an institution at Sotheby’s
on April 22.
This bettered the premium-inclusive £98,500 paid in 2013 at Sotheby’s for
another period Sogdian silk lampas robe of slightly different design which was
altogether more faded.
Heading the bill at £1.85m was the
15th century sword from Tipu’s treasury
topped with an 18th century tiger’s
head Tipu’s signature motif, taken
from the Sultan’s regalia of office. This
piece, pictured in ATG No 2189, sold to
a private Middle Eastern buyer. It cost
£50,000 in 2005.
Sir Mogan bid on many pieces but
his main purchase was a three-pounder
bronze cannon from the gun carriage
manufactory at Seringapatam. It had
made £55,000 at Sotheby’s in 2005 and
Bonhams had guided it at the same level
this time but, after a contest with the
same Middle Eastern phone bidder, the
price reached £1.2m.
Sir Mogan’s other purchases included
an Anglo-Indian officer’s sabre with tiger’s
head pommel at £25,000 (it cost £13,000
in 2005) and a silver-mounted flintlock
sporting rifle from Tipu Sultan’s armoury
by Asad E Rahman dated 1222 (AD17934) decorated in gold and silver with
hunting and tiger motifs at £110,000. That
had cost £42,000 in 2005.
A spokesman for Sir Mogan said that
these pieces were a very important part
of south Indian culture and that the
businessman was hoping at some stage
to repatriate them.
Firearms generally drew some of
the keenest competition. The most
expensive was a flintlock sporting gun
by Asan Kahn E Muhammad (again
dated 1222) that had come from Tipu
Sultan’s personal armoury and was
presented to Lord Cornwallis after the
fall of Seringapatam. This was carved in
the round to the stock with a crouching
tiger while the gold and silver mounted
furniture was worked with further tiger
motifs.
Described in the catalogue as “the
finest and most important of any firearms
can be associated with Tipu’s personal
ownership”, this had topped Sotheby’s
sale at £100,000 and came to Bonhams
with an estimate of £100,000-150,000.
Bidding came from Sir Mogan and other
contestants before the hammer fell to
another of the main players at £600,000.
A helmet, quiver and armguards
were rare survivals of late 18th century
armour from Mysore. The conical helmet,
fashioned in quilted and brightly coloured
silk overhide, went to the aforementioned
Middle Eastern private phone bidder for
£155,000, over four times the £36,000 it
fetched in 2005.
The embroidered velvet and leather
quiver and armguards which came with
associated belt and arrows, sold at
£120,000 to the same purchaser who
carried off the top-priced firearm.
One of the few lots which did not fly
away was a carved wooden tiger paw
foot that is one of the few surviving
elements from Tipu Sultan throne.
It bears a silver plaque engraved
Capture of Seringapatam 4th May 1799
Foot of the Tiger which supported the
platform on which stood Tipu Sultan’s
throne.
This made £10,000 in 2005 and was
offered here with a higher £15,00020,000 guide. It sold to one of the main
phone bidders for £16,000.
IZNIK & AGHKAND POTTERY
Provenance was a key ingredient for
several lots which fetched multiestimate sums at Christie’s sale in
King Street on April 23.
Here the top three sellers had
all formerly been in the collection
of art collector and industrialist
Charles Gillet of Lausanne,
and consigned to Christie’s
by his family. They included a
‘Damascus-style’ Iznik pottery
dish attributed to the so-called
‘Master of the Hyacinths’.
Made in Ottoman Turkey
around 1555, the 14in (35.6cm)
wide work was painted in cobalt blue,
turquoise, sage green, manganese and grey
with flowerheads, branches of hyacinth blossom and
curved saz leaves in a near-symmetrical arrangement.
Despite a few repaired breaks, it flew well over the
£70,000-100,000 guide selling to the European trade
for £350,000.
Prices for Iznik pottery continued to impress when
the following lot, an identical-sized rare red-ground
dish, sold to an anonymous buyer for £200,000
against a £50,000-70,000 estimate. Gillet had
acquired it at some point after 1913 (the last time
it had appeared at auction). Dated to c.1585-90,
it skilfully mastered the use of bole-red colour and
is decorated with curved saz leaves, rosettes,
carnations and a large cusped palmette.
From the same source was an
11in (28cm) diameter Aghkand
pottery bowl from north Iran,
c.12th century. It featured a
swan or goose on a ground
of scrolling vine, the border
with the alternating ochre
and green triangles and
small manganese dots. It
bore old collection labels to
the base, having been with
Charles Vignier (1863-1934)
before Gillet acquired it, and
had some repaired breaks.
It sold to the European trade
for £260,000 against a £40,00060,000 estimate.
COLOURFUL COPPER
Among the most striking lots in Christie’s
King Street sale was an Ottoman giltcopper chamfron from 16th century Turkey.
The sculptural 21in (52cm) long horse
armour was formed from a single metal
sheet decorated with arabesque and floral
cartouches issuing tulips, the sides of the
long nose with panels filled with scrolling
leafy vine.
It was engraved in the roundels, al-sabr
‘ibada, ‘Patience is a [form of] worship’ and
in the cartouche, al-sabr ‘ibada wa’l-hamd
‘ada (?), ‘Patience is a [form of] worship and
praise [of God] is a habit’.
The fashion for gilt copper, or tombak,
developed in Ottoman Turkey in the 16th
century and while it was used primarily in
the mosque and home for objects such as
lamps, incense burners and bowls, it also
had an important function in a military
context.
However, because of the malleability of
the copper, rich and lustrous tombak armour
was likely to have been created for parades
and other ceremonial use, enhancing the
pomp and colour of the Ottoman army.
By repute, Christie’s example had formerly
belonged in the collection of Pidhirsti Castle
in western Ukraine, an important residence
during the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth
and a home of the 17th century monarch
John III Sobieski. It sold within estimate for
£130,000.
Top left: a ‘Damascusstyle’ Iznik pottery dish

the Hyacinths’ – £350,000.
Above: an Aghkand
pottery bowl from north
Iran, c.12th century –

Below: an Iznik redground dish – £200,000.
MARKET-FRESH PRIVATE COLLECTION
Sotheby’s opened their sale with a 49-lot French private
collection formed by the father of the vendor in Alexandria
in the early 20th century. It comprised metalwork from Spain
through north Africa to Syria, Egypt, Persia and Afghanistan,
as well as ceramics, wood, weapons and textiles.
Only nine lots failed to sell, reflecting buyers’ demand
for attractively priced, fresh-to-the-market works with good
provenance. A highlight was a 5in (12.5cm) high Khurasan
silver and copper-inlaid brass ewer section made in Persia
during the first-half of the 13th century which had appeared
in a 1908 catalogue of the collection of Mr O Homberg.
Decorated in silver and copper-inlay featuring roundels with
zodiacal signs, knotted and floral motifs, it doubled the top
estimate to sell for £14,000.

QUALITY COUNTS
Bonhams also offered a collection of 16
Indian miniatures collected by Pearl King
(1918-2015), a former president of the
British Psychoanalyst Society. Her longterm companion was the artist Elizabeth
Carlile, with whom she entered into a civil
partnership in 2005.
A fresh-to-market provenance like this
is always going to have appeal if allied to
quality. All bar two of King’s miniatures,
mostly late 18th and early 19th century
Northern Indian works, found buyers.
But the real competition was reserved
for four folios of 18th century Pahari
gouache paintings from the Punjab hill
states of Guler and Basholi. All illustrated
scenes from the Bhagavata Purana.
This school of north Indian painting,
set up under the patronage of Raja Dalip
Singh of Guler and flowering in the
nearby courts of Kangra and Basholi,
saw artists such as Pandit Seu, his sons
Manaku and Nainsukh and their ateliers
moving round the courts to produce
works on commission.
Research by scholars such as MC
Beach, BN Goswamy and E Fischer has
defined and identified a distinctive
stylistic school of work by Nainsukh’s
and Manaku’s family members and
followers and these paintings have
becoming increasingly popular. The fact
that they depict Hindu subjects – typically
illustrating such epics as the Bhagavata
Purana and the Gita Govinda – only
serves to enhance their value for the
rising wave of Indian collectors.
When examples of these now
dispersed illustrations appear on the
market the values for the best can soar to
match that demand.
Brendan Lynch, of London dealers
Forge and Lynch, was one of the bidders
hoping to secure King’s Pahari works at
Bonhams. Summing up the reason for
the strong prices, he noted: “The real
attraction in terms of value is that they
are from the 18th century rather than the
19th, as their quality is so good.” (Quality
tends to decline the further the date is
removed from this artistic zenith.)
The first of King’s Bhagavata Purana
folios was the one chosen for the
catalogue cover, a striking 12 x 15in
(30 x 38cm) gouache. This depicts an
episode featuring the churning of the
oceans with Mount Meru being used
as a spoke to churn the seas which are
depicted as an expanse of grey lines.
Vishnu is shown in the guise of a turtle.
It was attributed to one of that first
generation of artists after Manaku and
Nainsukh c.1780-90. Bonhams’ estimate
of £15,000-20,000 was left in the dust
as a bidding battle took it to £80,000,
selling over the phone to a US dealer.
Even stiffer competition greeted the
next lot, a gouache of the same size with
the same dating and attribution depicting
a scene in which Vishnu, visiting the
King Mahabali in the guise of the Avatar
Vama, transforms into giant proportions
prior to defeating Mahabali. This time
Left: The churning
of the seas, a folio

Bhagavata Purana

at Bonhams.
the winning bid from a south-east Asian
dealer was £100,000.
The third folio showed Krishna in
combat with Rukma. Krishna is depicted
in bright yellow and the two adversaries
are fighting with clubs watched by their
attendants. This too realised £80,000,
selling to the same US dealer.
FRENCH CONNECTIONS
Pahari miniatures also provided some
of the highlights last month in Paris
when Artcurial auctioned the second
slice of the collection of Françoise and
Claude Bourelier.
As with their sale last autumn,
two sessions were offered with
pre-Columbian and tribal material on
May 11 followed the next day by a
selection of antiquities, near eastern
and Islamic material.
The May 12 sale featured around
60 lots of Indian and Persian
miniatures. Not all of them sold,
bidders were more selective than
last November but they homed in
on one or two particular lots which
they pursued with real determination.
As at Bonhams’ sale in London, the
objects of their attention were late
18th century illustrations to epics
produced in the Pahari (Punjab hill)
states of Kangra and Guler in the
workshop of the painter Nainsukh and
his followers.
Topping Artcurial’s list at €265,000
(£203,845), tendered by an Asian
collector, was the illustration to the
Gita Govinda above. Ascribed to
Guler or Kangra c.1775-80, the 6 x
10in (15 x 25cm) gouache is thought
to be part of a series commissioned by
Rajah Sansar Chand on the occasion
of his marriage and attributed to
an artist in Nainsukh’s workshop.
The fourth illustration was of the
same size but slightly earlier at c.176065. It was more specifically attributed
on stylistic grounds to the artist Fattu,
Manaku’s son who painted in a style
associated with the Basohli court under
the influence of his uncle Nainsukh who
worked there after leaving Guler.
The Pahari painting scholars Fischer
and Goswamy have described this
particular series as “among the finest
achievements of Pahari painting”.
At this price it set a new high for an
Indian miniature in France, beating
the €220,000 (then £183,350)
posted in last November’s Bourelier
auction for another illustration to the
epic, perhaps from the same series,
showing a message being delivered
to Radha.
Following it at €56,000 (£43,075)
was a Guler gouache of c.1790, an
illustration to the Ramayama depicting
Vibishana and his army of bears and
monkeys coming to the aid of Rama.
This striking 8½ x 12½ in (21 x 31cm)
The red-bordered miniature depicts
Earth in the form of a cow appealing
to the four-headed four-armed Brahma
who converses with a row of Kings and
Brahmins. Like the other works, this was
estimated at £15,000-20,000 but ended
up making £40,000 to the same southeast Asian dealer.

illustration to the Gita Govinda c.1775-80

leaf, previewed in ATG No 2189, was
carried off by a European buyer.
A third Pahari work to perform
strongly was a late 18th century
illustration to the Markandeya Purana
showing Kali and other deities
fighting against Chanda, measuring 7
x 10in (18 x 25cm), realised €36,000
(£27,690), selling to an Asian collector.
All three prices were substantially
higher than Artcurial’s estimates.
Left: this finely decorated Qur’an leaf taken from
one of the most intricately designed Qur’ans of the
medieval period took top honours at Sotheby’s.
The framed 2ft 8in x 2ft (32 x 24cm) page of
eastern Kufic script from Persia or Central Asia,
c.1075-1125AD, was one of some 2250 leaves
which were produced for the 30-volume Qur’an,
and part of the fragments of only three sections
to have survived. “The overall effect must have
been truly breathtaking as the (no doubt princely)
patron leafed through the complete manuscript,”
said Christie’s in the catalogue notes. As folios from
this Qur’an appear extremely rarely on the market
– only three complete folios have appeared at
auction since 1970 – it attracted plenty of interest
to sell well above the £150,000-250,000 guide for
£320,000 to an institution.
Right: the star of Christie’s rugs and carpets sale
on April 21 in King Street was this Mongol empire
flatwoven wool carpet from the late 13th or first
half of the 14th century. It appears to be the only
survivor of its kind. Measuring 8ft 1in x 2ft 8in
(2.46m x 81cm), it was in relatively good condition
with only touches of wear, some minor repair
and slight loss to each selvage. It sold on bottom
estimate for £500,000.
Commenting on the sale, Louise Broadhurst, head
of oriental rugs and carpets at Christie’s, said rare
and early pieces were in high demand, with “strong
interest in the Chinese carpets from new clients in
the far east”.
HOBSON CHOICE
Above: more Indian works of art are coming up in London at Christie’s
King Street on June 10, including five more Pahari paintings from the
collection of the late Anthony Hobson. The former head of Sotheby’s
book department, who died last year, was known as a gentleman
scholar and all-round bibliophile but he was also an ardent and lifelong
collector of art and furniture, including 18th century Indian works. The
group offered on June 10 is a set of Basohli-Guler style paintings from
the Bhagavata Purana, one of the Puranic texts of Hinduism focusing
on the devotion of Vishnu and Krishna. Illustrated here is the scene
of the Bear King Jambavan returning to his cave. An old woman tends
to his son while he ties the Syamantaka jewel above the child’s cradle.
Previously in the story Jambavan had killed a lion to obtain the jewel but
was traced by Krishna to his cave after which the two fought for 21 days
before Jambavan submitted and subsequently married his daughter to
Krishna. Dated to c.1760-65, the 11 x 15in (28 x 38cm) opaque pigment
and gold on paper work is attributed to the Pandit Seu family of Pahari
painters and is valued at £25,000-35,000.
SILVER AWARDS
Christie’s supplemented their King Street offering with a further 400
lots of Islamic and Indian art and textiles at their South Kensington
rooms on April 24. Among several well-received collections here was
a 14-lot group of Indian silver from the Raj period consigned by a
London collector. All bar three lots sold, with this late 19th century
silver repoussé bottle (surahi) right, marked W&O, taking a midestimate £3200.
The sale was led by a collection of medieval Spanish and North
African manuscripts, the financial highlight of which was an early
12th or 13th century Andalusian copy of Al-bayan wa al-tahsil – a
seminal work of Maliki law composed by Ibn Rushd al-Jadd, the
grandfather of the medieval Andalusian polymath Averroes.
The five large volumes was copied in Arabic on high-quality
Spanish cream burnished paper typical of luxurious Andalusian
manuscripts. Probably penned during Averroes’ lifetime or shortly
after his death for a wealthy patron, it sold well above the £20,00030,000 guide to an institution for £110,000.

The Jacobites return – for
■ Collectors rally to Bonnie
Prince Charlie at Edinburgh
Terence Ryle r e p o r t s
FOR many a patriot with
Scottish blood it’s not today’s
feat of 56 nationalist MPs
in Westminster that stir
hearts so much as memories
of nearly 7000 fighting
Highlanders reaching Derby.
Although the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion,
and its predecessor in 1715, ended in
bloody defeat, the romance surrounding
the cause continues to bring triumphs in
the saleroom.
With what was perfect timing, just a
week after the political map of Scotland
turned yellow, Edinburgh auctioneers
Lyon & Turnbull (25% buyer’s
premium) held a May 13 sale of Jacobite,
Stuart and Scottish Applied Arts.
Ninety per cent of the 179 lots sold
(almost exclusively to private buyers
despite a strong trade presence) bringing
a hammer total of £399,000.
“A tremendous result,” said L&T
specialist Colin Fraser.
“We had a full saleroom and bidders
from around the world.”
Conceding that the resurgence of
nationalist politicians has put all things
Scottish into the spotlight, Mr Fraser
points out that, in reality, the allure of
the Stuarts has never faded.
From the clandestine artefacts
created after Culloden, to the Walter
Scott-enhanced glorification of Scotland
for George IV’s 1822 visit to Edinburgh,
everything connected to the Jacobites
has had a customer waiting.
Fakes or reproductions have long
been a problem so provenance is key.
The L&T sale met this requirement and
included among the more costly lots
were nine emanating from the loyal
Jacobite Graham family of Airth and 11
more provenanced to Christie’s 1993
Fingask Castle sale.
Anything linked to Bonnie Prince
Charlie takes precedent. After the portraits
(see panel above right), the top-seller was
the Young Chevalier’s pocket watch.
Illustrated on page 21, the 13¾in
(46cm) diameter French gold case was
marked JQ, Elio Bircharch Paris 1758,
and the verge movement signed In
Obsquii Rignus Devotissimus Carus.
The finely enamelled green reverse
was crowded with symbolism. It
included a cypher and star within an
oval cartouche, a lion, a unicorn, roses
Above: a portrait of Charles Stuart after Antonio David sold with its pair
of his brother Henry – £34,000 at Lyon & Turnbull.
PORTRAYING A REBEL WITH A CAUSE
Images of the ill-starred Stuarts led Lyon & Turnbull’s
Jacobite sale. Topping the day was a pair of 2ft 8in x 2ft 1in
(82 x 64cm) oils of Prince Charles and his brother Henry in
their teens. They were catalogued as after the last portraits
of the Stuarts painted by Antonio David (1698-1750), who
for many years was one of the court artists to the Jacobite
court in Italian exile. Estimated at £12,000-18,000, the pair
sold to a Scottish collector at £34,000.
Similarly estimated and going at £32,000 was another
pair of the royal brothers painted by the ‘circle of Antonio
David’. Measuring 2ft 1in x 20in (63 x 52cm), these are
among several copies made by David and his studio. By
family tradition, this pair were a gift from James, the Old
Pretender, to Judge James Graham of Airth.
Best of the miniatures was an 18th century, goldframed portrait on ivory of Charles Stuart after the widely
copied image painted by the fervent Jacobite artist Robert
Strange. This 2in (5cm) oval miniature was attributed to a
Charles Dixon whose name only brings up references to the
19th/20th century painter. There appears to be a 17th/18th
century miniaturist Nicholas Dixon but L&T stayed with the
expert attribution given when the miniature sold at the
1993 Fingas Castle sale.
Breathing quality, the reverse was set with a polished
panel of Montrose blue lace agate. Estimated at
£2500-3500, it went to a Scottish collector at £7000.
Left: Jacobite
‘King Charles III’
salt-glazed teapot
c.1766 – £8000.
and thistles and an oak leaf for the tree
in which Charles II hid after the battle
of Worcester. Inscribed A most devoted
dear token as an offering, it sold just
short of the top estimate at £24,000.
The buyer, who had paid a premiuminclusive £39,650 for Robert Burns’
watch at L&T two years ago, said:
”I wanted to ensure that a piece of
significant Scottish history will not be
leaving UK shores.”
Jewellery and other items with a
sound provenance as being owned, or
given to allies, by Prince Charles found a
ready market. A gold pendant enclosing
a lock of hair, engraved to the reverse
the Lock of Prince Charles Edward
Stuart’s hair 1763, took a mid-estimate
£4400 and a 3oz gold rectangular snuff
box with Paris marks given to William
Graham made £4200.
But the most important piece of
jewellery – meriting a 5000-word essay
in the catalogue – was the gold and
enamel ‘Four Peers’ ring.
The ring (illustrated on page 21)
featured an executioner’s axe and
the initials of four peers captured
after Culloden – Lords Kilmarnock,
Derwentwater, Balmerino and Lovat
– and the dates on which they were
executed.
Various of the Jacobite regiments,
including the Manchester Regiment
and its English soldiers who survived
only to be executed, are named on the
interwoven shank of the ring.
Believed to have been commissioned
by Lord Oliphant of Gask in 1747 from
the Edinburgh goldsmith Ebenezer
Oliphant, a family member and fervent
Jacobite, it is the only one of the original
four remaining in private hands.
Having been given by Lord Oliphant
to the Grahams of Airth, it passed by
direct descent to the vendor and sold
just shy of the top estimate at £24,000.
That the ring was unmarked was
not unusual. Few 18th century Scottish
goldsmiths marked their pieces and
Ebenezer Oliphant, of course, had good
reason not to advertise his role.
Owners and makers of other Jacobite
mementos took measures (albeit
sometimes patently transparent ones) to
conceal their sympathies.
At L&T there was, for instance, a
fine French ormolu, porcelain and
tortoiseshell 3in (7.5cm) diameter
circular snuff box. With coded Stuart
symbols to the outside, it had an inner
second cover which opened to reveal
a portrait of Charles reverse-painted
on glass. It sold well above estimate at
£7500.
The most popular area in which
Jacobite sympathies circumspectly
expressed their loyalty was, of course,
in drinking glassware. Indeed, from
the early 19th century onwards, when
Jacobite glasses were not merely legal
but fashionable, reproducing such
glasses became a major business.

SALEROOM SELECTION
£390,00 triumph
An 18th century silver quaich by William
Clark, Glasgow, formerly owned by
William Boys, 4th Earl of Kilmarnock
– £10,000.
Above: c.1690 blunderbuss captured at the Battle of Preston – £21,00 at Lyon & Turnbull
BATTLE-PROVEN BLUNDERBUSS
Any firearm or blade that, by its date, could have
seen action in the 1715 or 1745 rebellions gains
a hefty premium among Jacobite collectors but
a blunderbuss at L&T had more going for it than
simply the name of the London maker James
Spencer, c.1690. It was engraved to the breech
in a contemporary hand This was taken from a
Highlander at Preston 1715 loaded 17 balls.
The quality of the gun makes it almost certain
that it was owned by a Jacobite officer when
seized at the battle for the Lancashire town (a
Hanoverian success not to be confused with the
Jacobite victory at Prestonpans 30 years later). At
Edinburgh it sold just above estimate at £21,000.
Another firearm going into five figures was
a 12in (30cm) long steel-stock belt pistol by
renowned Perthshire gunsmiths Christie and
Murdoch of Doune. It featured silver insets and
was engraved with a hand grasping a dagger
and the motto Pour Mon Dieu. Dated 1752, it
sold on its quality, its rarity and its condition – it
As makers would often use genuine
18th century glasses then add Stuart
motifs, it takes an expert eye today to
detect different engraving techniques to
date such pieces.
There were two glass stars at L&T.
One was the ‘Fingask ‘ wine glass
engraved to the bell-shaped bowl with a
portrait of Prince Charles, the rose and
thistle and the motto Audentior Ibo (I
will go forth more boldly).
Provenanced to the Thriepland family
and the 1993 Fingask Castle sale, it was
no drawback that the 4in (10cm) tall
glass was on a broken stem set into a
wooden stand.
A few of the most fervent, not to
say fanatical, Jacobites were known to
smash such a glass and set it in wood
after drinking to ‘the King over the
water’ in order that no lesser toast
ever be drunk from it. At L&T the glass
doubled the mid-estimate at £7000.
The best-selling glass was an 18th
century decanter with similar portrait,
decoration and motto. Believed to be
only one of five such portrait decanters
to survive, it also doubled the midestimate taking £9000.
By reputation, the Jacobites were a
bibulous bunch but teetotalling loyalists
were also catered for by Staffordshire
potteries prepared to take a risk in the
course of business. Staffordshire was a
centre of English Jacobism.
The c.1766 cobalt blue, bullet-form
example illustrated on these pages is
came with its original pierced belt hook and iron
ramrod – and doubled the mid-estimate going at
£10,000.
Best of the edged weapons was a c.1730
basket-hilt broadsword signed by Thomas
Biggart, Irvine, one of the famous Perthshire
family of swordsmiths. What, if any, part it played
in Jacobite history is unknown but marks and
engravings suggest it was in military service up
until 1800. At L&T it took a mid-estimate £8000.
No Scottish sale which includes weapons
would be complete without a Highland dirk or
two. The best at L&T was a c.1730 dagger with
root word grip featuring Celtic strapwork. The
16in (40cm) blade had been cut down from a
back sword struck with the mark Andrea Ferrara
– one signifying the highest quality of Scottish
swords rather than a maker.
Complete with a black leather damaged
scabbard, the dirk was estimated at £1500-2500
and sold at £3600.
A framed piece of the paisley plaid
worn by Flora MacDonald who helped
Charles escape after Culloden –
double-estimate £550.

believed to be just one of two decorated
in this fashion with the symbolic white
rose and rose bud above C*R III, the
Bonnie Prince’s followers considering
him to be King Charles III.
Standing just 5½in (14cm) high, it
took a top-estimate £8000.
The other saltglaze pot, also bullet-
shaped and 5½in (14cm) high, was
only a little less rare.
On a white background
it featured a rather crude
polychrome portrait of Charles,
a thistle and the white rose
and bud. This sold on the lower
estimate at £5000.

Left: toucans and Guinness are a
familiar pairing in advertising and Sussex
auctioneers Denhams are selling this
example in their Antiques, Fine Art and
Collectables auction on June 3. The
Carltonware lamp GA/2178, wired for
electricity, 9½in (24cm) high, is estimated
at £100-200 in the sale at Warnham,
near Horsham. The toucan first appeared
in 1935 on Guinness advertising and
for over 45 years it featured on many
types of products. Artist John Gilroy
(1898-1985), who was recruited in 1925
by the advertising agency SH Benson’s,
is particularly associated with two
Guinness campaigns. The first, ‘Guinness
for strength’, shows people performing
incredible feats of strength empowered
by the drink. The second features zoo
animals, the most famous version being the
toucan. The bird was originally a pelican
but was altered by a member of the SH
Benson’s team who is rather more famous
from another career – Dorothy L Sayers.
She joined in 1922 and wrote books in her
spare time.

he won the FA Cup in 1953 in what became famously known as the Matthews Final. The tea service
is estimated at £1500-2000 and was one of the items discovered at a BBC1 Flog It! valuation day at
Sandon Hall, Staffordshire. The TV cameras will be following the bidding at Halls’ interiors auction on

century royal and political events were commemorated with pictures, carvings and photographs on practically any
household item from clocks to dinner wares, handkerchiefs and medallions. An unusual selection is on offer at Plymouth
Auction Rooms on June 3: small cameo carved shells. Each one is finely carved with the name of British royals including
details of their birth date and a coat of arms. Ten of the 11 shells commemorative the births of Queen Victoria, her husband
Albert and eight of her nine children. The other shell commemorates the life of the Duke of Wellington, inscribed Arthur
Duke of Wellington, born May 1st 1769-died Sep 1st 1852. They had been housed in a small cardboard box for years and
kept in the roof space of a property in south Devon until recently rediscovered. The shells measure 1-2in (2.5-5cm) long.

Above: a New Zealand parrot which is nearly extinct has been spotted in North Yorkshire.
Unfortunately for bird-spotters – ‘twitchers’ – eager to take a snap of the rare visitor, this parrot has
definitely ceased to be. Rather than a Norwegian Blue of Monty Python fame, this is a Kakapo and is
sitting in a case of taxidermy on offer at Tennants of Leyburn in their June 5 taxidermy and natural
history sale. The large, flightless bird (the world’s heaviest parrot) is under intensive conservation off
the coast of New Zealand on specially protected islands and around only 120 exist. The taxidermy
work was carried out by George Sim, a naturalist
of King Street, Aberdeen. This specimen case
of various rare New Zealand birds won a gold
medal in the 1884 Exhibition of Industry & Art
in Aberdeen.

Above: Clevedon Salerooms say displaying an oil on canvas frieze
on offer in their June 4 auction is proving to be a challenge. Which is
not surprising when you realise it comprises ten sections measuring a
total of 52ft 6in in length (16m) and stands 2ft (61cm) high. The work
by John Atkinson (1863-1924) was commissioned in 1901 by Lewis
Priestman to depict the Braes of Derwent Hunt, to hang in Slaley Hall,
Northumberland. It includes Priestman’s name on the carriage door of
the Scarborough to Harrogate mail coach while the artist’s name appears
above the door of the Black Swan Inn (right). Estimated at £4000-6000
in the sale near Bristol, the frieze was carefully removed from a country
house on the Mendip Hills where it has been for the last few decades.

■ More than 40 dealers map
out their path to fair profit
WITH only a few weeks to go
until the 200th anniversary
of the Battle of Waterloo,
barely a day goes by without
yet another press release
hitting my inbox making some
tenuous link with Wellington.
You can’t blame them for trying.
Sometimes though, there’s a more
concrete link, such as at the London
Map Fair where anyone planning to
re-enact the battle will find a handy
plan of Waterloo and the environs of
the battlefield, made by an anonymous
British army officer who was there.
The broadsheet plan was published in
Derby by a little-known bookseller,
G Wilkins.
It is described as the Second, and
Improved Edition OF THE PLAN OF The
CAMPAIGN OF THE NETHERLANDS
showing the whole scene of Action, With
plain directions to the Reader for tracing
the routes of the armies, to the positions,
affairs of Posts, Battles, &c.
It is undated but looks to have been
made hastily, perhaps by an unskilled
engraver, while public excitement was at
its height.
A couple of centuries on, the plan is
priced at £750 from Ashley BayntonWilliams at the map fair held at the
Royal Geographical Society in South
Above: when Richard Horwood’s survey of London was first published in the 1790s, it was the largest map yet printed in the British Isles and the first
London map to show house numbers. However, despite royal patronage from George III, Horwood nearly ruined himself completing it and died in poverty
in 1803. After his death, William Faden bought the copper plates and created an enlarged version of the map, published in 1819, revised and extended
to include the new docks in the East End. An example of this version of the map, printed on 40 sheets and measuring over 6ft 7in x 16ft 5in (2 x 5m),
pictured here, is for sale at the London Map Fair priced at £18,500 from Altea Gallery.
Left: this map of St Helena is the earliest printing (of four) showing the
various landmarks and houses made famous during Napoleon’s residence
on the island. Dated October 1815 and bearing the imprint of Burgis and
Barfoot, this early state was rushed into production when it was announced
that Napoleon would be exiled to St Helena. As a result, there are some
inaccuracies – Plantation House is labeled as ‘The Residence of Buonaparte’,
while ‘The Briars’ is labeled as the property of ‘Mr Balcombe’ and ‘Longwood
House’ is described as the residence of the Lieuenant Governor. In fact,
The Briars was Napeolon’s first residence, then Longwood House, while
Plantation House was the governor’s residence, and the map was later
revised. It is priced at £2500 from Ashley Baynton-Williams.
Plan a trip to London
Kensington on June 6-7, where more
than 40 map dealers will exhibit antique
maps, charts, town plans, atlases
and globes.

Cities: Udaipur, Rajasthan, the show (which closes on May 30) features works on
cloth, painted with soft yet vibrant mineral and vegetable pigments between
c.1970-90 in the workshops of Vejendra and Krishnadasa.
They are painted in the tradition of pictorial textiles made for temples, known
as pichhvais, and each depicts an imaginary palace or building inspired by the
architecture of Udaipur.

Baynton-Williams will also exhibit
a map of St Helena (pictured above)
rushed into print when it was announced
that Napoleon was to be exiled there
after the battle in 1815 – perhaps due to
the haste, it was geographically outdated
and the base map stems from the 1670s.
The map fair was started 36 years
ago, the brainchild of three map dealers:
Tim Bryars, Massimo De Martini of
Altea Antique Maps & Old Charts and
Rainer Voigt of Garwood & Voigt. This year events include a lecture by
Tim Bryars and Tom Harper, the British
Library’s curator of antiquarian mapping,
on their recently published British Library
bestseller A History of the 20th Century
in 100 Maps.
Third-generation mapseller and author
Ashley Baynton-Williams will also give
talks throughout the weekend on map
collecting for beginners.

Ludlow life:
is it miles
better?
COMMUTING to work on the tube,
face rammed into a stranger’s armpit
as they tuck into an 8am pasty, what
Londoner hasn’t fantasised about
escaping to the country where,
apparently, everyone skips to work
through buttercup-strewn meadows?
In early 2014, the picture dealer
Miles Wynn Cato traded in his
basement gallery in Chelsea for a
Georgian premises at street level in
Ludlow, and the London grind for a
better quality of life.
Just over a year on, he is measured
about the trials and rewards of
relocating a business to a fairly remote
rural town.
The first thing he realised is that it’s
a long game, requiring patience: “Even
in a small town, there are still plenty
of the sort of cultured and interested
residents who have yet to come
through the door.
“They are now hearing from their
friends that it is worth doing so
but in the early months I could not
understand why they were taking
so long.
“Secondly, it was easy to
overestimate the number of visitors
to the town who were likely to be
potential buyers.

down and even though Ludlow has

1 What do you do?
We specialise in antiquarian maps, sea
charts and town plans of all parts of the
world with an emphasis on London maps.
2 How long have you been dealing?
I have been dealing in maps and atlases for
23 years.
Above: View of Ludlow from the West, attributed to James Peel (1811-1906), oil on board,
14 x 20in (36 x 51cm), £1250 from Miles Wynn Cato.
an international reputation for its
architectural treasures, art-buying
tourists are few and far between.
“Thirdly, one has to work hard
at keeping up old contacts and also
making new ones. The truth is that
little trade came easily through the
door in Chelsea and of course the
same is true here.
“But there has been enough good
local business (both buying and selling)
to make it feel like the gallery is
building a good reputation and I hope
that by giving a really good service this
will only get better.”
Miles has also enjoyed the stronger
feeling of camaraderie among the local
trade and auction rooms, and also
among restorers and framers.
“Of course, the art and antiques
business is challenging for everyone
at the moment but I am happier facing
those challenges in this beautiful place
than I was in London.”
He is hoping that his exhibition
in Ludlow from June 12, running in
parallel with Ludlow Arts Festival, will
attract more people who have yet to
discover him.
It will certainly be of local interest,
focusing on a group of original oils,
watercolours and drawings of Ludlow
and the surrounding area of south
Shropshire, dating from between 18301930.
Works by two of Ludlow’s most
celebrated artistic sons, the 19th
century painters William Gwynn and
William Gill, will be included alongside
others and prices range from £150 to
£5000.

from Plantae Selectae from which
the decoration was taken (far

4 What was your first job?
Dealing in food produce for a London
trading company.
5 Best thing about being a dealer?
I love the challenge of finding new exciting
items and also the challenge of finding the
right customers for it.
6 And the worst?
I don’t see any bad side about dealing in
antique maps; it is a lot of fun and has given
me a lot of satisfaction in the last 23 years.
7 Best buy?
A view of Manhattan bought at auction
recently which other dealers thought was a
reproduction, but I had a gut feeling it was
the genuine article and I believed in it... not
only it was an original but it also turned
out to be the first view of New York ever
printed... utterly delighted!
8 Biggest mistake?
I only like to talk about successes, who
needs to hear about mistakes? They are only
good to yourself, so you learn from them
and try not to repeat them!
Show reveals
18th century
stars made in
Chelsea
IN 1722, Philip Miller became head gardener of the Chelsea
Physic Garden, at a time when previously unknown plants
from the New World, Africa and Asia were arriving in Europe
on almost every ship, and Chelsea became a leading centre of
botanical research.
In 1731, Miller published the Gardener’s Dictionary followed
by Figures of Plants in which these discoveries were illustrated
by the botanical artist Georg Dionysius Ehret.
Sir Hans Sloane was the great benefactor of the Physic
Garden at the time, and when Ehret’s illustrations were used
as sources for botanical decoration on Chelsea porcelain in the

1750s, they became known as Sir Hans Sloane’s plants.
From June 2-16, Stockspring Antiques in Kensington
Church Street will host a loan exhibition of these wares,
comprising over 70 exhibits of Chelsea porcelain from private
and museum collections shown alongside their relevant
source engravings.
The show is accompanied by a substantial catalogue,
written by Sally Kevill-Davies, who has been researching the
identification of the plants on Chelsea porcelain and their print
sources for some years, and is sponsored by the Cadogan Estate.

10 What key trends have you noticed
at the moment?
There is a new demand for more recent
printed material such as the London
Underground maps from the 1900s and
the new-style Tube maps issued by Beck
from 1933.
Also, caricature maps and the so-called
serio-comic/political satire maps which were
issued at the end of the 19th century until
the first and second world wars.

Final bite of
great Scott
THE seventh and final exhibition of the
gargantuan John Scott Collection opens
next week at The Fine Art Society.
This last slice concentrates on
Architect-Designers: From Pugin to
Voysey, from June 3-25 in London.
The Scott Collection has been the
largest single project the gallery has ever
undertaken, and Rowena MorganCox, FAS’s decorative arts specialist,
says: “It has also been among the most

(68cm x 1.61m) panel is priced £65,000 from
The Fine Art Society.
presenting works of constantly high
quality. Collectors, museums and dealers
have responded with great enthusiasm to
this rare opportunity to buy the very best.
“The final exhibition encapsulates the
heart of the collection – a celebration of
British design, innovation and ingenuity
from the late Victorian period into the
early 20th century and includes many of
its prize pieces.”
The shows hones in on what can be
seen as a golden period of British design
and architecture, encompassing ceramics,
glass, textiles, furniture and metalwork,
from Gothic Revival to Arts & Crafts.
Among the highlights are: Pugin’s designs
for the Palace of Westminster, including
oak panelling and brass grilles; pieces by
William Morris and his peers; CFA Voysey
and William De Morgan.
Prices range from £500 to £150,000. ■ faslondon.com
Name may be Mayfair but double booking moves ceramics event south-east to Kent
CERAMICS Mayfair is in its ninth year, but this summer, due
to a clash at the venue, it won’t be in Mayfair.
Instead, this joint selling exhibition runs from June 4-6
at the Edenbridge Galleries in Edenbridge, just outside
London in Kent, where the co-organisers and porcelain
specialists Jupiter Antiques are resident.
Brad Dover of Jupiter explains that the event’s usual
venue, the Four Seasons hotel on Piccadilly, was unavailable
as the entire floor where the event is normally held had
been booked out by another company.
“I couldn’t demand the Four Seasons lose a six-figure
sum for the sake of a small room,” says Brad. “We are
invited back next year. These things happen. Still there is a

Otherwise, though, it will be business as usual and
Jupiter will be joined at Edenbridge by English porcelain
experts Mark and Sandra Diamond, with a range of
Regency porcelain and wares by factories including Flight
Barr and Barr, Chamberlain, Coalport and Spode.
The Jupiter selection of English and Continental
porcelain from the 1740s to the late 19th century includes
the set of six ice and matching stand cups by Sèvres, from
an English private collector, pictured left. The set bears
painters marks for Vavasseur and Micaud, and date codes
for c.1767. It is priced at £12,000.

Jewellers celebrate
150 years in business
Above: Norfolk Coast with Bicycle, 2006 by Mary Fedden, oil on canvas, 16in x 2ft 8in (41 x 80cm),
£27,000 from Trinity House.
Fedden takes simple approach
THE painter Mary Fedden (1915-2012) is
something of a national treasure.
Since their marriage in 1951, she and
fellow artist Julian Trevelyan lived and
worked at a studio by the Thames in
Chiswick, west London, where Mary lived
and painted daily almost until her death
in 2012.
As with many popular artists, some
think her work too twee, too ‘easy’ and,
granted, it’s certainly not going to scare
any horses. But there is an appealing
joyfulness, almost innocence, in her
trademark vivid palette and deceptively
simple still lifes. To mark the centenary of
Mary’s birth, Trinity House is currently
showing an exhibition of 18 of her
watercolours and oils, spanning 50 years
of her career, at 50 Maddox Street in
Mayfair until June 30.
Alongside is a selection of works
by other Modern British artists such
as Henry Moore, George Clausen and
Lowry, and prices range from £7500
to £50,000.
The exhibition will move to Trinity
House’s Broadway gallery in the
Cotswolds from July 11 until the end
of August.

Wartski on the evening of May 19. Speeches
were given by managing director Geoffrey
Munn (left) and by owner Nicholas Snowman (right), great-grandson of Morris Wartski who
established the firm in North Wales as an emigré from Imperial Russia c.1876. Munn recalled the
day when, “with Beatles haircut and beard”, he joined the firm at the age of 19 in October 1972. “I
wanted all of it but on a wage of £750 a year it was far out of reach. I’m afraid it still is,” he quipped.
Guests were given a copy of the 300-page hardback book Wartski – The First 150 Years, penned by
Munn and published by Antique Collectors’ Club.
Grays day is full of colour
MAYFAIR antiques centre Grays will hold a day of talks on arts, antiques and
collecting in The Music Room, their upstairs event space, on Monday, June 15.
Speakers at the event in 26 South Molton Lane, London W1, include the owner
of Grays (and its sister centre Alfies Antiques in Marylebone) Bennie Gray, TV
presenter and Grays resident dealer Mark Hill and jewellery expert Andrew
Prince. Tickets are priced at £10 for each 45-minute talk, with a discount for

reports
“Still producing new
works for the primary
market, his pictures
now command serious
attention at auction”
LARGE watercolours of the
Yorkshire landscape, his
home county, are the stockin-trade of Simon Palmer
(b.1956), and have attracted
a growing following over the
last three decades.
Palmer’s unique approach and
the unusual scale of his pictures,
together with his special connection
to Wensleydale with its rolling hills,
stone houses, narrow paths and
winding fences, combine to create a
level of demand that few contemporary
watercolourists working in a traditional
style can match.
Although he still produces new
works for the primary market, more
of his pictures are now appearing at
auction and commanding ever more
attention, with the three highest sale
prices coming in the last six months.
In December, Christie’s South
Kensington sold two pictures, Planting
Snowdrops and Marty South, for
£15,000 and £11,000 respectively –
both exceeding previous auction highs.
Last month, another example turned
up at the Art & Design sale held by
Cheffins (19.5% buyer’s premium)
in Cambridge and the result completed
the auction top three.
The April 30 sale offered a bright
picture for a work in this medium, a
trademark of the artist.
Estimated at £4000-6000, it came to
auction from the collection of the late
Christopher Hogwood, the acclaimed
conductor and a leading figure of
the early music revival who lived in
Cambridge and died last September.
One of a number modern pictures
from the Hogwood consignment that
attracted keen bidding, it sold at £10,000
to a private Cambridge buyer.
In all, 25 of the 29 Hogwood lots sold
for a combined £86,660. Other highlights

and sweeping landscape, but with
a typically intriguing twist. Entitled
Striking Out Independently, it dated
from 1998 and featured a doorway,
covering, decking and picnic rug to
one side of the picture which added an
imaginary element and veiled meaning.
As with the CSK pictures, it had
originally sold through dealer James
Huntington-Whiteley, in this case at
an exhibition in 1999. Mr HuntingtonWhiteley told ATG that the artist often
imbues his work with a narrative –
sometimes cryptic – as here.

SALEROOM BUZZ AROUND BEEHIVES
One of the star pictures at Cheffins
was an oil painting by Joan Eardley
(1921-63). It came to the Cambridge
saleroom fresh to the market from a
private home in Scotland where it had
been since 1953.
Beehives II, a 15 x 21in (39 x 54cm)
signed oil on board, was one of the
paintings the artist produced after first
visiting the cliff-top village of Catterline
on the east coast south of Aberdeen
in 1950. She visited the area regularly
before becoming semi-resident in the
fishing village six years later.
works have been bought by Americans,
Australians and even Japanese collectors
on occasion.
“In the 1980s his pictures were very
affordable and there were queues round
the block before exhibitions opened in
places like Chester, Bristol and Guildford.
Back then, you couldn’t buy online in
advance, of course.
“He’s had some successful museum
shows and, as his standing has risen,
the prices at commercial galleries have
pushed up the artist’s values accordingly.
Auction prices have been going up too
and there have been some very good
results recently.

prolific artist as his technique is quite

underscore demand
for Bawden’s Essex
When she died of cancer aged 42,
her ashes were scattered on the beach
at Catterline.
Eardley’s seascapes made en plein air
on the shore or from the cliff top depict
the rugged local scenery in different
weather conditions. They are distinct
from her urban scenes of Glasgow,
such as the famous series of pictures
depicting the city’s impoverished
children which nowadays command her
highest prices.
This picture was one of a number of
studies featuring a cluster of beehives
on a hillside and had featured in an
exhibition at Aitken Dott and Son (The
Scottish Gallery) in Edinburgh in 1961.
It depicts a fine day, but two other
views of the same setting under stormy
clouds have appeared at London
auctions in the past 13 years. Most
recently a painting entitled Cottage And
Beehives took £40,000 at Sotheby’s in
April 2009. Another work, Beehives,

painstaking. However, the rate of his
output has remained consistent ever since
he left art school.
“He uses a sloped architect’s drawing
board to produce these large-scale
watercolours, using a lot of ink and
gouache as well as thick paper to create
such strong images. This means there
isn’t much fading and the pictures in
many ways have the quality of oils.”
Mr Huntington-Whiteley’s latest
show, staged in collaboration with the
Portland Gallery in London, features 43
watercolours made over the past two
years. It opens on June 4 and prices
range from £4500 to £12,000.

Both were around twice the size
of the picture in Cambridge and had
more contrasting colours, with dramatic
cloud formations (the climate in the
Catterline area is subject to sudden
changes).
However, Cheffins’ picture was
a striking piece of tonal painting
which drew plenty of admirers at the
auction viewing. The estimate was set
at £10,000-15,000, a sensible pitch
in light of the fact that this was a
rather unusual work that was not easy
to judge as a commercial prospect,
although it was unlikely ever to reach
the heights of Eardley’s figurative
pictures, which can make £50,000-plus.
Pre-sale interest led to keen
competition on the day and it sold
in the room at £21,000 to a local
Cambridge collector.

TWO watercolours by Edward
Bawden (1903-89) depicting the
grounds of Audley End House near
Saffron Walden, Essex, attracted
bidders at Cheffins. Both came from
the collection of the late conductor
Christopher Hogwood.
The Jacobean mansion was a
favourite subject of the artist after
he moved to nearby Great Bardfield
in 1932 – a lithograph of the house
itself is one of Bawden’s most
sought-after prints.
Offered separately, both lots
outstripped their estimates and sold
to a London buyer.
First up was Ringwood, Audley
End, Essex, a 19 x 2ft 1in (50 x 64cm)
watercolour from 1976, which took
£7000 (estimate £4000-6000).
The following lot, The Adam
Temple, Audley End, Essex, was a
slightly more commercial proposition
as it depicted the Robert Adamdesigned temple built c.1771 to
commemorate the Treaty of Paris
that ended the Seven Years War.
The 19in x 2ft 1in (50 x 64cm)
watercolour had a label for New
Bond Street dealers The Fine Art
Society on the verso and was also in
good original condition.
Against the same £4000-6000
pitch, it was knocked down at
£11,000.

Heads up for new
Moore exhibition
Anna Brady
reports
FOR most of us, the name Henry Moore
conjures an image in the mind’s eye of
those monumental, curvaceous women of
the 1970s and ‘80s.
But it is some of his earlier works,
many of them unseen for years such
as the ominous, perhaps menacing
Helmet Head shown above, a recently
rediscovered lead piece from 1950,
that are the defining feature of a large
retrospective exhibition of Moore’s
sculpture and drawings at Osborne
Samuel in London.
Henry Moore: Sculpture and Drawings
consists of some 60 pieces and it on
until June 27 at 23a Bruton Street. It has
been a couple of years in the making
and centres on the personal collection
of Moore’s sister, Elizabeth Howarth.
The collection includes sculpture and
drawings given to her by Moore as gifts
in the 1920s and ‘30s, such as a drawing
and cast concrete sculpture of Betty’s
son Peter as a baby, and has never been
shown publicly.
The recently rediscovered Helmet Head,
however, comes from a different source –
it was an exhibition work and is on display
for the first time in over 60 years. Peter
Osborne, director of Osborne Samuel,
says: “Working from a torn label on the
base of this sculpture, the gallery was able
to track it to a British Council travelling
exhibition to Sweden in 1952.
“The gallery found a photograph
of the sculpture in the show and other
documentation which proved that it is
a previously unrecorded unique lead
sculpture by Moore, long ago thought
lost. It was shipped to USA [sold to Ann
Zwinger] after the exhibition and has not
been seen since.”
Also featured are some of the earliest
known works by the artist, such as
two academic drawings he made as a
teenager when he was a student in Leeds.

Breanski landscapes sell
consistently if modestly
A COLLECTION of five works by father
and son Alfred de Breanski Snr (18521928) and Alfred Fontville de Breanski
(1877-1957) appeared at Rogers Jones’
(20% buyer’s premium) latest sale in
Cardiff on April 24.
They came to auction from a family
from the Vale of Glamorgan, together
with a pair of oils on canvas by Joseph
Thors (fl.1843-98), which sold together
for £1200 against an estimate of
£700-1000.
Paintings by the two Breanskis
are often confused since Breanski Jr
followed in very much the same style
and subject matter as his father (most
typically mountainous Scottish and Welsh
landscapes). However, works by Breanski
Snr are worth more and two of the five
here were deemed to be in his hand.
These included Burnham Beeches, a
23in x 2ft 11in (59 x 89cm) signed oil on
canvas which had been exhibited at the
Royal Academy in 1917 and featured a
misty woodland with rabbits by a pool.
It achieved the highest sum among
the five works even though it dipped
below a £6000-10,000 estimate, selling
at £5700 to a private collector from
Peterborough.
Another work by the same artist,
a view of the Scottish highlands
entitled Ben-An from the Trossachs,
sold at a below-estimate £3900 to a

SMART MOVE DOWN UNDER
The collection of the late conductor
Christopher Hogwood sold at Cheffins
included works by a number of modern
Australian artists.
A regular visitor Down Under, he had
a spell as artistic adviser to the Australian
Chamber Orchestra and acquired pictures
by leading names, which led to some
Australian buyers staying up all night
on April 30 to make phone bids at the
Cambridge sale.
One of these works achieved the
highest price of the sale.
Hogwood bought Jeffrey Smart’s
(1921-2013) c.1955 The Bather from
from art dealer Rex Irwin in Woollahra,
New South Wales, in 1985. It had later
‘amendments’ which the artist made
in 2004, perhaps on account of some
damage to the upper right-hand corner
(the artist also added the blue towel
beneath the sitter and the shadows).
The signed 15 x 20in (38 x 50cm) oil
on board was estimated at £3000-5000
and, despite condition issues, attracted

bidders who thought they spotted a
bargain for one of Australia’s best-selling
painters.
It sold at £26,000 to an unnamed
buyer, although there was some
suggestion that it may now be heading
back home.
RARE NUDE IN OIL BY CO-FOUNDER OF GROSVENOR SCHOOL
Above: this nude by Iain Macnab (1890-1967) was one of the most strongly contested lots at
Cheffins’ Art & Design sale. It came from a Norfolk country house and was estimated at
£1500-2500. The artist was one of the pioneers of linocut printing and helped found the Grosvenor
School of Modern Art in 1925. While his prints are fairly common on the market, it was rarer to see
an oil on canvas such as this signed example, which measured 19in x 2ft (49 x 62cm).
The subject made it especially rare. Auction records show no comparable nude study in the last
decade. With strong competition on the day, it was knocked down at £11,000 to a private UK buyer
– a sum thought to be a major record for the artist.
£2200 SCOOP BY DARWIN’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Left: this hand-coloured woodblock print by Gwen Raverat (1885-1957),
Two Horses in Moonlight, sold at £2200 in Cheffins’ recent sale. The artist
was the granddaughter of Charles Darwin and, after starting to make prints
in 1909, she contributed greatly to the revival of wood engraving in the early
20th century (she joined Eric Gill, Edward Gordon Craig and Robert Gibbings
in founding the Society of Wood Engravers in 1920).
Not many of her works were issued in formal editions and their rarity means
they always draw significant interest among her followers in her home city of
Cambridge when they do appear. Such was the case again here.
The 7 x 8in (17 x 20cm) signed print came from the collection of Christopher
Hogwood (the late conductor also lived in the university city), and it was
estimated at £500-700.
The price is thought to be an auction record for an individual Raverat print.

Cut-outs and cords star in
early astronomical guides
■ Interactive diagrams appear
as early as the 16th century
Ian McKay
reports
CENTURIES before the
advent of interactive online
resources, some early
astronomical texts were
using intricately cut-out,
cord-operated illustrations to
explain the workings of the
heavens.
Illustrated with 175 woodcuts, Jacques
Bassantin’s Astronomique discours...,
published in Lyon in 1557, includes among
its many diagrams 14 that incorporate a
total of 36 volvelles, or moveable parts
and discs operated by cords to show what
is being explained in the text.
These volvelles are derived from
those found in the 1540 first edition
of Apianus’ Astronomicum Caesarum
– the most famous astronomical work
featuring volvelles – though one of the
seven catalogues produced for the 197781 series of Sotheby’s sales of the great
Honeyman scientific library goes further
than ‘derived’, describing the work as
“extremely impressive..., though partly a
plagiarism of Apianus”.
Left: one of the volvelle diagrams, the moving parts activated by
a cord, from the copy of Astronomique discours of 1557 sold by
Christie’s Paris for €70,000 (£50,210).
Above: the constellation cassiopeia as seen on a page from the
Hyginus Poeticon astronomicon sold for €18,000 (£14,070) by
Hartung & Hartung.
The book bears the name Bassentin on
the title-page but the author was born
James Bassantyne in Scotland. He was
educated in Glasgow and had travelled
widely in Europe before settling down in
Above: a spread from Johannes Stoeffler’s Elucidatio Fabricae ususque Astrolabii, printed in 1512-13
at the first press in Oppenheim. The most comprehensive treatise on the astrolabe of its time, it has

rebacked period calf binding, it sold for a record £4000 at Bloomsbury Auctions on March 19.
Paris, where he taught mathematics until
he returned to his native land in 1562.
Bassantyne’s entry in the Dictionary
of National Biography notes that he
was unskilled in languages other than
those of his homeland and France, and
though he wrote his books in French,
he “spoke it with difficulty and wrote it
ungrammatically”.
Although Latin, Greek and Arabic
books on astronomy were thus shut
to him, his DNB entry continues,
he made his own observations and
had a reputation as one of the chief
astronomers of his time.
Owned in the 17th century by Jean
Perrin (1613-95), a doctor in the service
of Marguerite de Lorraine, second wife
of Gaston d’Orléans, and in an early 19th
century binding, a copy of Astronomique
discours... sold for €70,000 (£50,210) by
Christie’s Paris on April 24 was one of
a small group of books sent to auction
from the very city in which it was printed.
Like the Apianus, it is of the greatest
rarity, though in 2013, at Christie’s New
York, the ex-Horblit Library copy sold for
$85,000 (then £55,520) as part of the
Vershbow collections. In the 1970s the
Honeyman copy referred to above, one in
which the major cuts were coloured, sold
for just £2600.
The record for the more famous and
extensive Apianus work was set in 1998,
when the coloured Horblit copy – sold for
$80,000 in 1985 – returned to Sotheby’s
New York as part of the Ortiz-Patiño
collections and reached $400,000 (then
£238,360). No other has since been
offered at auction.
Sold at a record £10,500 at Bonhams
on March 8 was a copy of Erhard
Ratdolt’s 1482, Venetian edition of
Johannes Sacrobosoco’s Sphaera Mundi,
a work based on Ptolemy and his Arabic
commentators that became a basic
astronomical text. It is illustrated with a
series of woodcut diagrams (eight here
coloured in green, red or yellow washes)
thought to be by Johann Santritter,
a mathematician and astronomer of
Heilbronn.
A 1661, first edition in English of
Galileo’s Dialogo made £15,000 at
Christie’s South Kensington on April
24. It was one of two works by the

More to Thelwell than horses
Left: Norman Thelwell is perhaps best known for his cartoons in
which little girls struggle to ride or control overweight and difficult
ponies and horses, but a surprise top-seller at a May 12 sale held
by Cottees of Wareham, Dorset, was a beach scene. A small ink
drawing, depicting a family on a beach at sunset, it was bought in
the 1980s at a charity auction of original artworks donated by the
artist to raise money for Romsey Abbey. It seems that the children
cannot remember exactly where they have buried their father in sand
and the title reads: “Well you’d better remember where you buried
him quick! He’s due on the early shift in the morning.” The vendor’s
note on the back of the frame recalls that though he couldn’t afford
one of Thelwell’s pony cartoons at the time, this one still makes him
smile. It sold at £480 to a London dealer.
Left: three lots from the June 4 Sotheby’s sale
of ‘The Library of a Bibliophile Pt.IV’ – all with
rarely seen or well preserved and, where the
modern firsts market is concerned, financially
critical dust jackets. The Hobbit also bears a
presentation inscription and all three could set
auction records. See report for more detail.
Record hopes put on their jackets for action
THE FOURTH part of ‘The Library of an
English Bibliophile’ – a collection that
made its first saleroom appearance in
2010 – will be offered by Sotheby’s on
June 4. This time the focus is on English
language children’s books of the late
19th and 20th centuries.
The three works illustrated here are
distinguished by the presence of rare dust
jackets and are potential record-breakers.
However, in one instance, the 1906
first of E Nesbit’s The Railway Children
shown above left, it is the gilt decorated
maroon cloth binding that is illustrated
rather than the jacket, as the design is
printed in black on dark red ground and
does not show up well.
That jacket is a little frayed at the
extremities and has some tape repairs
to the reverse, but auction records
suggest that no other first in a jacket has
been seen at auction in recent decades.
The most this book has so far made at
auction is £1700, but this copy is valued
at £5000-7000.
Published two years later, in 1908,
Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the
Willows is one of the most famous works
in the English language, and the example
of that first edition shown above centre,
partly unopened and boasting the rare
jacket that reproduces the design picked
out in gilt on the blue cloth binding, is
valued at £50,000-60,000.
Containing a letter in which the author
responds to a letter from a Captain JC
Grahame, regretting that he is unable to
help his namesake in his research into any
Scottish family connections, it was last
seen at auction in 1990. It was then part
of the vast H Bradley Martin library and
at Sotheby’s New York it sold at $20,000
(£11,905).
The record stands at £39,000 for a
copy sold at Sotheby’s in London in 1998.
Shown above right is one of the small
group of copies of the 1937 first issue
of The Hobbit inscribed on publication
for presentation to family members,
colleagues, friends and one or two of
Tolkien’s students. This one, inscribed with
four lines in Elvish, was given to Katherine
Kilbride, one of his first students at Leeds
University in the 1920s.
A nephew later recalled that Kitty, “an
invalid all her life, was much cheered but
his chatty letters and cards... books were
given to her as they were published”.
When she thanked Tolkien for the gift
in a letter that is now in the Bodleian
collections, she wrote, “what fun you
must have had drawing the maps”.
In 2002, the copy of The Hobbit
shown above made $75,000 (£47,400)
at Sotheby’s New York, and is now
estimated at £50,000-70,000. Twenty
years earlier Katherine’s set of Lord
of the Rings, inscribed and containing
a crossword in Elvish, had made just
£750 at Sotheby’s in London. In 1993,
however, that set was sold in their New
York rooms for $25,000.
A recently published list of the
most expensive books sold online via
AbeBooks shows, at No.2, a copy of The
Hobbit that in 2003 reached £40,500,
but the auction record for the book
stands at £50,000, the sum paid at
Bonhams in 2008 for another of that first
group of presentation copies.
That one was a copy that Tolkien gave
to Elaine Griffiths, a student to whom
he had earlier loaned the manuscript.
After reading it she persuaded Tolkien
to show the typescript to Susan Dagnall,
another Oxford graduate then working
for publishers George Allen & Unwin.
Stanley Unwin tried it out on his son,
who proved equally enthusiastic, and the
rest, as they say, is publishing history.

A second volume of Salusbury’s work,

following year in the Great Fire of London

Thomas Wright, a teacher of navigation
and land surveyor.
The two works that follow, blending
myth, verse and science, are examples of
books for which records were set in the
2013 Vershbow sales.
Bound in 20th century chestnut
morocco, a 1485 Ratdolt edition of the
Poeticon astronomicon attributed to
the 2nd century mythographer Caius
Julius Hyginus was sold at €18,000
(then £14,070) by Hartung & Hartung
on November 3 last year. With all 47
woodcuts (again attributed to Santritter)
in period colour, it was in good condition,
showing almost no foxing.
Bearing a 1930 dedication by the
Argentinian painter Jorge Beristyn, this
copy was later in JR Ritman’s Bibliotheca
Philosophica Hermetica and made £6000
at Sotheby’s in 2001.
The Hartung & Hartung result set a
record for that edition, but in 2013, the
first illustrated edition of 1482 in the
Vershbow library, the cuts uncoloured
and bound in Italian blind-stamped
calf of the period, reached $32,000
(£20,885).
In a Swann sale of April 9, a
1600 edition of the ‘Phaenomena’ of
Aratus, a 3rd century BC poem on the
constellations, celestial phenomena etc,
made $5000 (£3360).
Hugo Grotius’ redaction, published
as Syntagma Arateorum and featuring
44 engraved text illustrations of figural
constellations by Jacob de Gheyn, was
in a worn, cracked and recased late 17th
century mottled calf binding.
The Vershbow copy, however, was
armorially bound in period citron
morocco for a famous French bibliophile
Jacques-Auguste de Thou (1553-1617)
and later housed in the library of Richard
Heber. It sold for $12,000 (£7760).

$ERYHan odd volume of a three-volume 1543, French
(Latin text) edition of the Orations of Cicero from the
personal library of Elizabeth I. Featuring on its binding
the crowned falcon device that she took over from her
mother, Anne Boleyn, it made $20,000 (£13,440) in a
Swann sale of April 9.
$ERYHULJKW eagles wearing the imperial crown and bees identify this binding as one made
for Napoleon. A copy of a book that was his constant companion, a French translation of James
Macpherson’s Ossian, Fils de Fingal, it sold for SFr 33,000 (£23,005) by Koller on April 9.
Birds, bees, Bess and Bony
AN odd volume of Cicero’s Orations...
and a cherished copy of the fabricated
epic poems of a mythical Celtic warrior
sold recently in the US and Switzerland
boasted bindings made for famous
figures in French and English history.
Part of a three volume edition printed
in Paris in 1543 by Simon de Colines
and one in which the contemporary calf
binding was a little rubbed and rebacked
using the original backstrip, the Cicero
was nevertheless one of the highlights of
a Swann of New York sale on April 9.
What made the binding above left
so special was the gilt badge or crest that
appears on both covers. The crowned
falcon holding a royal sceptre is a device
associated with Anne Boleyn and one
subsequently adopted by her daughter,
Elizabeth I, for books in her own private
library. It sold for $20,000 (£13,440).
Crowned eagles decorate the central
and corner devices stamped on the red
morocco binding of the volume above
right and, together with the bees,

instantly give the clue to the Napoleonic
connections of a lot offered by Koller of
Zurich on March 30.
Ossian, Fils de Fingal, the book for
which it was made, is a 1777 French
translation of the hugely popular
collection of epic poems that the Scottish
poet James Macpherson claimed were
his translations of poems by Ossian, a
legendary 3rd century Celtic warrior, bard
and son of Fingal.
The collection was much admired but
its authenticity was almost immediately
challenged by Dr Johnson and others and
the poems are widely believed to have
been created by Macpherson himself
from ancient ballads.
One writer later dubbed it “the most
successful literary falsehood in modern
history” but Napoleon, who liked Ossian
“...for the same reason that I like to hear
the whisper of the wind and the waves
of the sea”, was among its most devoted
admirers and the book is said to have
been his constant companion from Egypt
to St Helena.
An old French inscription facing the
somewhat foxed and marked title page of
the Zurich copy explains: “This book, the
favourite reading matter of the Emperor
Napoleon I, accompanied him on all his
travels” and adds that it was left behind
in 1809 at the Château de Grosbois
while Napoleon was out hunting with
Josephine and assorted European kings
and nobles.
Thereafter, he is said to have used
another edition – perhaps that noted
below* – but what the Swiss auctioneers
described as ‘Napoleon’s favourite
Ossian’ sold at the low estimate of
SFr33,000 (£23,005).
* In 1995, at Christie’s, an 1801 Paris
edition of Traductions et imitations de
quelques poesies d’Ossian described
as Napoleon’s copy made £4500. From
the Guggenheim collections, it was in a
Bozerian binding of green morocco gilt
incorporating Napoleon’s monogram.

tribal art
Anne Crane
reports
TRIBAL art is one of the boom
sectors of the art market. It is
gaining in popularity all the
time as new collectors join
the seasoned enthusiasts for
this field.
The current trend for open living and the
rising fortunes of Contemporary art sit well
with these pieces which, though they come
in all sizes and cross many cultures, are
sculptural artefacts that demand viewing
space just as much as any creation by Jeff
Koons or Mark Rothko.
Paris and Brussels have long been major
centres for tribal art. Both of them support
large groups of dealers in their own
dedicated districts and both have major
ethnographic museums: the Royal Museum
for Central Africa in Tervuren near Brussels,
a legacy of its colonial history, and the
Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, which has
helped to reinvigorate the French market.
Paris also has a venerable history of links
between art and ethnographica, with the
Surrealists and the Cubists showing an early
interest in the art of other cultures. And it is
also a major European centre for tribal art
auctions. Many of the biggest collections
have sold on the rostrum in Paris (Andre
Breton’s, Pierre Verité’s, and Murray Frum’s
to name but three).
However, interest in this field is
worldwide. Americans have long been
major collectors, embracing the art of
African and indigenous American cultures.
New York is also a key auction and dealer
centre and interest extends across to
the West coast. Oceanic art is an equally
important field these days and there are
plenty of collectors for Antipodean works,
while South East Asian material has had
more recent exposure.
Because there are collectors all over
the world, one way of bringing them to
the marketplace is to hold a dedicated
tribal fair. The most successful of these
take the form of ‘tribal trails’ or parcours,
in which districts where there are large
concentrations of dealers tempt visitors
from far afield by inviting guest exhibitors
to show in local galleries.
Two of the most established are
the Brussels Non European Art Fair or
BRUNEAF (bruneaf.com) which runs
This 2ft (59cm) high
wooden female figure
from the Dogon
peoples in what
is now Mali dates
from the late 18th/
early 19th century
and was formerly
in a US private
collection. Paris
dealer Lucas Ratton
will be showing
it at BRUNEAF at
the Galerie Futur
Antérieur on the place
du Grand Sablon. It is
priced at €90,000.
Didier Claus, from Brussels, who
is the president and treasurer of
BRUNEAF, specialises in African
art. One of the major pieces he
will be showing at his gallery on
the rue van Moer is this 8in (21cm)
19th century wood, brass and raffia
Songye figure from the Democratic
Republic of Congo, priced at
€65,000.
BRUSSELS
BRUNEAF is short for Brussels Non European Art Fair and is one of
Europe’s longest-standing trade gatherings for tribal art, staged in
the Belgian capital since 1990.
It takes the form of a ‘tribal trail’, with resident and guest
dealers from outside Brussels setting out their stalls in the network
of shops around the Grand Sablon square at the heart of the
antiques district in Brussels.
In all 47 tribal exhibitors will be showing at this year’s BRUNEAF,
which runs from June 10-14. As well as Belgian residents, they
include dealers from Paris, the UK, the US, Italy, Spain and the
Netherlands. Given the location and make-up of the trail, it is not
surprising to learn that there is an emphasis on African art, but
walking round the narrow streets of shops that join the Place du
Grand Sablon, you will also find examples of Oceanic, American,
and South East tribal artefacts.
BRUNEAF is also using the elegant exhibition space of the
Ancienne Nonciature, a former Vatican embassy on rue des
Sablons, to mount a retrospective exhibition celebrating its 25th
anniversary. Uzuri wa Dunia (Beauties of the World in Swahili) will
feature masterpieces of African, Oceanic and pre-Colombian art
stemming from Belgian collections.
Running at the same time as BRUNEAF, in the same area and
complementary to it, are two other related trails.
AAB (Asian Art Brussels) will feature 17 Asian art dealers, while
BAAF (Brussels Ancient Art Fair) comprises 13 dealers in antiquities.
■ bruneaf.com
in June, and the Parcours des Mondes
(parcours-des-monde.com), staged in
Paris in September.
September is also the time
for London’s new dedicated fair
(tribalartlondon.com), while Amsterdam
holds a fair in the De Duif church in
October/November (tribalartfair.nl).
Above: Brussels dealer Patrick and Ondine Mesdagh will
show this 19th century zebra skin shield from Tanzania as part
of their show in their rue des Minimes gallery. It is priced in the
region of £12,500.
Ancient Art from the
Congo is the title of
Joaquin Pecci’s
exhibition for BRUNEAF
at the rue des Minimes.
It will feature around 40
figures and masks from
private collections from
this vast multi-ethnic area.
Among them is this 16½in
(42cm) high male fetish
figure from the Democratic
Republic of Congo that
would have been used in
ritual ceremonies. Made
from wood applied with
copper and shells, it is
priced at €25,000.
This year it features around 20 dealers
from the Netherlands and overseas,
while the San Francisco tribal and textile
arts fair takes place every February
(caskeylees.com).
This is by no means an exhaustive list,
but it shows plenty is on offer all year
round. However, with BRUNEAF just
around the corner, a slew of auctions set
to take place in Paris next month and a
major auction just staged in New York, this
seems a good time to take stock of what
the market has to offer. We also interview
Anthony Meyer, one of Paris’s major
dealers in this field, about his passion for
Oceanic art and his view of the market.

has it all
LONDON
Below: London has lagged behind in the tribal art arena for
some time, having no major auction centre in the capital nor
a dedicated dealers’ district along the lines of those in Paris
or Brussels. Recently, however, it has been fighting back. In
2006 a group of like-minded tribal art dealers got together
to organise a Cork Street group show as a focal event. Last
year this changed into a fully fledged specialist fair, Tribal Art
London (tribalartlondon.com), staged at the Mall Galleries with
double the number of exhibitors.
The fair’s second outing takes place from September 2-5,
around the same time as the Paris Parcours des Mondes, and
will feature 9 exhibitors from the UK and overseas.
Meanwhile, the fair’s co-founder and organiser, Bryan Reeves
of London’s Tribal Gathering Gallery, will stand at Olympia
from June 18-28 with a selection of his stock. One piece will be
this Hemba hermaphrodite figure from the Democratic Republic
of Congo. It comes from a UK private collection and is priced
at £7500.
■ tribalgatheringlondon.com
Above: Cologne auction house Lempertz
also have premises in Brussels in the heart of
the Sablon dealing district. Their June 12 sale
is dedicated to tribal art, timed to coincide
with BRUNEAF and capitalise on the increased
footfall of collectors and dealers. On offer will
be just over 140 lots of African and Oceanic art,
including this highlight, which comes from the
Senufo tribe, a 4ft 1in (1.25m) high altar figure
carved by Penan Diarassouba, who worked in
San village in what is now Mali until 1940. It has
an estimate of €20,000-30,000.

Right: another tribal
art specialist showing at
Olympia this summer is
Clive Loveless Primal
Art, who will be taking
a mix of tribal artefacts
and pieces that lean
nearer to folk art. He will
be showing this large 4ft
5in x 9in (1.35m x 23cm)
ceremonial shield from the
Arawe Islands, New Britain,
Melanesia. Made from
carved wood, pigments
and rattan fibre and dating
from the first half of the
20th century, it has a 1940s
provenance to a private
collection in the Netherlands
and is priced at £2500.

tribal art
June frenzy as
the temps fort
holds sway
PARIS
Traditionally the June high season or temps forts in Paris is one of the periods when
auctioneers like to hold specialist tribal art sales.
Many of these take place this year in a short period of frenzied activity in the third
week of the month. Ader, Artcurial and Castor-Hara are selling on June 22, while
Christie’s and Sotheby’s follow with dedicated sales on June 23 and 24. Other Paris
events take place earlier in the month.
Left: Christie’s feature pieces from the Verité
collection among their June 23 highlights. They are
offering this 2ft 10in (88cm) high Grebo Kru mask
from Liberia/Ivory Coast, guided at €500,000800,000, and a 4ft 3in (1.3m) high Baga shoulder
mask, at €1.5m-2.5m. The sale will be the first for
their newly appointed European consultant in African
and Oceanic art, Stanislas Gokelaere.
Above right: Sotheby’s select June 24 sale numbers 84 lots, the first 25 of which come from the collection of Daniel
and Carmen Klein and are devoted to statuary of the Kongo peoples in both large and small-scale works which the Kleins
amassed over a 20-year period. Among the many highlights is this 15in (38cm) high Minkenge figure from the Republic of
Congo acquired in situ in 1927 and last under the hammer at Loudmer in Paris in 1990. It is guided at €150,000-200,000.
Their other highlight is this Baule double mask, right, from Ivory Coast, a much-published piece that was formerly in the
Pierre Verité collection. He acquired it around 1935. The Sotheby’s vendor here bought it at the landmark Verité sale in
Paris in 2006. This time around it carries a guide of €2m-3m.
Left: the French Surrealists and tribal art
have long been associated and some of the
most prestigous items to come on the market
have provenances linked to famous names
such as André Breton. Among the 70 lots
in Artcurial’s June sale of tribal art, which
majors on African pieces, is a rare wood harp
from the Zande Nzakara that was formerly
in the collection of the poet Paul Elouard, a
piece which gives us insight into the richness
of his collection. It has a sound box covered in
antelope skin and a neck with a female head
terminal. It comes guided at €30,000-50,000.
There is also an impressive Baule mask from
the Ivory Coast sporting two horns that
sprout from the forehead. Collected in situ
around 1910, it has passed by descent to the
vendor and is estimated at €40,000-60,000.
Right: Baga art has long
held a fascination and served
as inspiration for artists,
from Henry Moore to Pablo
Picasso. The Baga lived the
African mangrove swamps,
making them hard to reach and
allowing them a certain degree
of independence during the
colonial period. It was not until
the mid-1950s that they and
their art came to prominence.
From 1956 Helen and Henri
Kamer organised a series of
expeditions and brought a
number of examples of their
art back to Europe, including
the distinctive serpent-form
masks. Most of these are now
in institutions, but Ader have
one of the ex-Kamer pieces as
the star of their June 22 sale
of African art in Paris. It dates
from the late 19th/early 20th
century and has a provenance
to the collector Jean Robert
Arnaud and the dealer Olivier le
Corneur, friends united by their
shared fascination with tribal
art. The long piece, which still
has original pre-contact natural
paint, is guided at €200,000300,000.
Right: Eve’s June 1 tribal sale majors on its usual strong selection of
pre-Colombian material, but will also offer a smattering of African and
Oceanic pieces and a good selection from North America. Among the
latter is this rare Alaskan parka or gutfrock, dating from c.1900-20.
As so often among peoples living in difficult terrain and
climate, no natural resources go to waste. This waterproof
garment, intended to protect the wearer when in a
kayak or out in bad weather, is made from seal
gut or intestine that has been cleaned
dried and stored ready to be cut and
sewn into a coat using ligaments
from tendons, usually an elk.
The needles used to sew
it are thinner than the
thread, which expands
in the wet to make the
garment waterproof. Eve’s
parka carrries an estimate of
€5000-7000.

The tribal art dealer ANTHONY JP MEYER,
who specialises in Oceanic art, has a
gallery on the rue des Beaux Arts in the
heart of Paris’ Left Bank dealer district.
He is a regular at TEFAF Maastricht and
at the Paris tribal trail known as the
Parcours des Mondes, which takes place
in September.
Here he discusses with ANNE CRANE
of Antiques Trade Gazette how his
interest in the field started, his views on
collecting and the tribal market.
AC: How many years have you been
specialising in tribal art and what
sparked your particular interest in
Oceanic art?
AJPM: I came into my mother’s business in
October of 1980, so I am celebrating 35 years of
being an art dealer in 2015. In 1985 when we
took over the present gallery space, I decided
that it was time to pursue my favourite type of
art, which was that of the South Pacific island
cultures. In 1980 I had found a Kanak war club
from New Caledonia in our stock and possibly
that triggered this, hopefully mild, obsession I
seem to have with Oceanic art…
AC: To what do you attribute the general
rise in popularity of tribal art?
AJPM: I think that people have realised that art
is not just a pretty picture or a marble sculpture
and that the art of the peoples of Africa,
Oceania, the Americas and Asia are spectacular
works of art created by man’s everlasting
imagination and passion. The intellectualisation
of art has opened up doors and to see the
theories of art in their actual process is
something remarkable. Take someone who
has a Cubist period Picasso for instance – with
African art this person can see where and how
Picasso validated his Cubist theories, and the
same stands for the Surrealists or the German
Expressionist period with Oceanic and Eskimo
art. I think this and the search for fresh fields
to explore has pushed the tribal market into its
new heights.
AC: How do you find material to sell and
what are the key factors in deciding what
to purchase?
AJPM: The only key factor in my acquisition of a
piece is my very own interest and passion. When
I see the right thing I feel a visceral need to
have it because somehow, and for some reason,
it has struck a chord in my aesthetics. Finding
pieces is always a problem, which seems to fix
itself and always at the right moment – perhaps
it is Lady Luck or the simple result of hard work.
AC: Which nationalities collect in this
field?
AJPM: Just about everybody is now involved
or at least thinking about tribal art. I have new
clients from Singapore, Germany, Romania, Italy,
the USA, Great Britain, France etc.
AC: Has your customer profile changed
in recent years? Do more people buy for
visual appeal or is clients’ knowledge
increasing?
AJPM: Of course there is a change in the
general customer profile, but not in a single
precise manner. Some clients want important
pieces that stand out and are easily recognised;
others want exceptional items even if they are
small or unassuming; others want the most
expensive, while some are trying to create
collections on the cheap by buying “looka-likes” or “wannabes”. These are fake or
low-quality, late-generation objects that look
like the important old ones but are sold for a
fraction of the value. And this last type leads me
to your next question….
AC: What would be the best ways for a
new collector in this market to learn?
(Books, dealers, museums? Which
museums have the most important study
collections?)
AJPM: In answer to this and the following
questions there is only one possible response:
Choose your dealer first!! Then start learning
about the field in his/her company and further
your knowledge by buying books – lots of books
– and don’t think that the internet supplies
enough information, it has lots of limits. Go
and look at pieces in museums and in dealers’
galleries. Ask questions; only answers can be
stupid, never questions.
AC: What areas would you recommend
for a new collector in this field?
AJPM: Ask your preferred dealer to show you
what he/she likes, get them to tell you their
stories about the pieces and the cultures that
created them and soon enough you will find
you path.
AC: Paris is becoming an increasingly
important centre for this market. When
would you say the trend started and what
underpins it?
“I have new clients from
Singapore, Germany,
Romania, Italy, the USA,
Great Britain, France etc”
SAN FRANCISCO
TRIBAL
A prominent group of tribal art dealers offering
an online gallery for the discerning collector.
www.sftribal.com
AJPM: Paris has always been the centre for
tribal art. It is here that it started with the
modern painters of the early 20th century.
Imagine Picasso, Derain, Vlaminck and Matisse
getting together in 1904 or 1905 to look at
an African mask… imagine the dialogues, the
glimmer of desire lighting up their eyes and
the rush to both gather up more examples and
run back to the studio and start painting. Paris
still has that spark and while the contemporary
painters of today often do not see the link back
to tribal art, we, the dealers and the collectors,
are having a field day.
AC: The parcours or tribal trail is
becoming an increasingly prominent
part of this marketplace: in Brussels
– BRUNEAF and Paris - Parcours des
Mondes. To what do you attribute its
popularity?
AJPM: These are major fairs that draw visitors
from all over the world. It is so convenient for
the client to have 50 or 80 top dealers gathered
in one small section of a picturesque city for a
specific amount of time. The concentration also
creates competition and pushes the dealers
to be at their best, which is to the buyer’s
advantage.
AC: Are there any other centres of the
market or rising centres?
AJPM: Yes there is a thriving tribal art market in
Amsterdam, with the dealers there putting on a
wonderful tribal fair every fall in an old church,
and around eight or ten galleries open year
round. New York still has a small group of very
high-quality galleries as well and they organise
a tribal trail there too, in May.
AC: Do you collect yourself and, if money
and availability were no object, which
piece of tribal art would you most like
to own?
AJPM: Yes I do collect but not Oceanic art,
otherwise I would not have much to sell as
I buy as a collector. Thus I collect in other
fields, notably early photography, illuminated
manuscripts and modern art, especially
Surrealism… and more. If I had to choose one
tribal piece to take to a desert island, I frankly
think that I would refuse and try to survive on
my memories, but if I had a pocket knife and
nobody was looking I might just try my own
hand at carving something – but of course, only
if nobody is looking.
* The latest exhibition at Galerie Meyer is
devoted to the work of Dadi Wirz, a Swiss
contemporary artist. Born in Zurich in 1931 and
the son of the anthropologist Paul Wirz, Dadi
discovered a plywood puzzle made in China in
2012. He has used this idea to create a series of
brass cut outs termed VIP portraits, which will
feature in the show along with silhouettes of the
world’s islands cut from blackened iron and a
selection of his graphic work.
VIP portraits by Dadi Wirz runs until June 27

NEW YORK
Right: this 16½in (42cm) Luba male statue
topped Sotheby’s sale of African, Oceanic
and Pre-Columbian art in New York on May
15. The Congolese work sold to the European
trade at $3m/£2m ($3m-5m estimate). The
price, plus $610,000 added on as premium, is
an auction record for a Luba figure.
The best Luba works are among the most
sought-after African tribal art at auction –
back in 2010 Sotheby’s Paris sold a Luba
caryatid stool by the legendary Master of the
Buli for €5.4m (£4.8m), at the time the second
highest price for a piece of African art. The
maker of this figure was the Warua Master,
peer and contemporary of the Buli Master, who
appears to have worked exclusively for Luba
royalty. Probably representing a royal male
ancestor conceived as a ‘metaphysical locus
of his spirit’, the figure is distinguished by its
strong adherence to geometric principles and
harmonious facial proportions.
It is the only male statue of just eight works
firmly attributed to the Warua Master and had
been published and exhibited numerous times
throughout the past four decades. Within that
time it had also passed through several hands,
including Brussels tribal art dealer Pierre
Dartevelle prior to 1978, well-known collector
Baudouin de Grunne (Sotheby’s sold much of
his African art collection in 2000) and the late
American publishing executive Bill Ziff and his
wife Ann.

NEW JERSEY...
Right: this stoneware vase with deep blue
flambé crystalline glaze is one of the pieces of
Continental European art pottery in Rago Arts’
June 5 sale of early 20th century decorative arts.
It is by the French ceramicist Auguste Delaherche
(1857-1940), was produced in Armentières,
stands 15½in (38cm) high and dates from c.1890.
The vase is from the collection of Robert A Ellison
in New York. Estimate: $4500-6500.
■ ragoarts.com
PARIS...
Above: Gustave Serrurier-Bovy was one of the leading exponents of the Art Nouveau
style in Belgium. Like many of his contemporaries, he was multi-talented. Influenced by
the Arts and Crafts movement, he worked in England before moving back to Belgium
as an interior designer importing furnishings from the UK and Japan as part of the
burgeoning Art Nouveau movement of the late 19th century. He was a founder member
of the Salon de L’Esthetique and was interested in the pan-European development of
this style, going on to epouse the idea of incorporating furnishings, architecture and
design into an homogenous whole. While he used exotic woods and refined complex
designs associated with Art Nouveau, he was also one of the first to focus on the idea of
well-produced simple low-cost furniture using modular assembly and cheaper materials,
thus anticipating modernist principles. On June 3 Piasa offer an opportunity to focus on
the Belgian’s talent when they mount a single-owner sale of a collection of 81 works by
Serrurier-Bovy assembled over 30 years ago by one enthusiast. As well as pieces with
all the curvilinear characteristics of Art Nouveau, the collection features examples of his
low-cost Silex range of furniture which was unveiled at the 1905 Exposition Universelle
in Liège. The Silex armchair in poplar and blue painted iron pictured here is estimated at
€15,000-20,000 while the wardrobe which is made from the same materials carries an
estimate of €10,000-15,000.
■ piasa.fr
COLOGNE...
Left: although they are best known for sales
of modern design, the auctioneers at Herr
in Cologne also offer works of art from much
earlier periods when the opportunity arises. A
case in point is this 16in (41cm) high Meiping
vase from the Yuan Period (1279-1368), which
is in the their May 30 sale with a guide of
€80,000. It is painted in underglaze blue with
a tiger hunt, landscapes and floral motifs.
The characteristic shape of the Meiping vase
with its narrow mouth and broader inverted
baluster-shaped body originates from its
original purpose: it was designed to hold one
branch of plum blossom, which explains its
alternative name of Prunus Vase. According
to the consignor, a local collector, the vase
was presented to a senior member of the East
German government in the 1970s.
■ herr-auktionen.de
COLOGNE...
Right: on May 30 Auction Team Breker in
Cologne are selling technical antiques and automata,
among them the Clown sur Pleine Lune, a rare piece
by Roullet et Decamps from about 1910. When
the musical automaton was first introduced by the
company in 1895 it was described in the catalogue as
‘très mouvementé’ (very animated). The clown with
nodding head and moving wings dangles a beetle in
front of the moon which moves its eyes and tongue,
while trying to capture the insect and few versions
of this group are known. It carries an estimate of
€16,000-20,000.
■ auction-team.de
ZURICH...
Left: magpies figure prominently on a pair of
monumental 18th century Chinese cloisonné censers
from the Qianlong Period. The highly ornate vessels
with magpie handles, a traditional symbol of
happiness and conjugal bliss, stand on three lion’s
head feet and are 3ft 5in (1.05m) tall. They are being
offered in Koller’s sale in Zurich on June 2-3 where
they have an estimate of SFr150,000-250,000.

NOGENT-SUR-MARNE...
Above: property from four different Parisian collections features among the 450 lots to
be offered by French auctioneers Lucien in their Sunday sale in Nogent-sur-Marne near
Paris on June 7. Modern and Old Master paintings, jewellery, furniture, ceramics and
silver all feature as well as sporting items relating to the Olympics and gymnastics from
the collection of French gymnast Jean Domard. One of the sale’s 20th century painting
highlights is this 20 x 23in (51 x 58) gouache on card, Allongé, from 1924 by Ossip
Zadkine which is guided at €15,000-20,000.

COLOGNE...
Right: Korean-American artist
Nam June Paik (1932-2006)
is considered to be the father
of video art and in their
sale on May 30 Lempertz
in Cologne are hoping to
achieve €300,000-400,000
for his distinctive installation
Temple Guards from 1993.
It comprises two 5ft 6in
(1.68m) gilt wooden Buddhist
sculptures, decorated on the
back with highly colourful
acrylic paint. They stand on
monitors which are connected
to a camera and a DVD player
respectively. The set-up
involves the presentation
of a video recording on one
monitor and the live picture,
generally of the mouth of one
of the figures, on the other
screen. The ensemble was
purchased from the artist and,
like several other works in
the auction, belonged to the
Hamburg collector Thomas
Wegner.

Go green to sell antiques
■ Fairs organisers launch new
campaign to reinforce message
that old furniture can be reused
Joan Porter
reports
DID you know that a staggering
10m pieces of furniture are
thrown away in the UK every
year? Or that 3m of those pieces
could be reused?
These statistics appear in an updated
study* by International Antiques and
Collectors’ Fairs (IACF) to continue
emphasising the ‘greenness’ of an antique
chest of drawers compared with a 21st
century equivalent.
These statistics originally came from the
Furniture Re-Use Network (FRN), whose chief
executive, Craig Anderson, told me that the
3m re-use figure was part of a four-part
study carried out by them with Southampton
University.
FRN works with 300 recycling charities and
every year the sector re-uses 2.6m tonnes
of furniture and electrical items and diverts
90,000 tonnes of waste from landfill.
In the antiques trade, the upcyling of
furniture has attrcated a whole new swathe
of talented designers who are transforming
junky furniture into must-have design pieces
selling for top prices.
These include Zoe Murphy and Rupert
Blanchard, both of Margate. Rupert collects
discarded drawers in Margate and London
to add to his “salvage hoarding mountain”
and from which he creates some stunning
cabinets.
Or as he puts it: “One day I’ll bring these
orphaned pieces back into use.”
Zoe works with mid-century pieces.
They started showing at the Midcentury
Modern fairs in 2010 – Midcentury were the
first to include upcyclers at their fairs 13 years
ago.
There is also the question of quality in this
market as elsewhere. One of Midcentury’s cofounders, Lucy Ryder Richardson, hammers
it home when she says: “Upcyclers go from
the slick, creative and professional right down
to the I-wouldn’t-sell-it-to-my-worst-enemy,
in degrees. Pieces have to be seen in reality.
You really have to check the quality before
you buy.“
And, in a slightly surreal comment,
she adds: “Zoe and Rupert are furniture
metamorphosists, turning caterpillars into
butterflies.”
■ iacf.co.uk

*The full study on how buying antiques is
better for the environment than purchasing
new was commissioned by ATG and others in
2010 as part of a marketing campaign. See

Above: a section of the postcard wall at Wish You Were Here, an exhibition at Stonehenge of
memorabilia and ephemera of the prehistoric monument, the result of 15 years’ collecting by
archaeologist Julian Richards.
Stone me: what a collection
ARCHAEOLOGIST Julian Richards has coined a unique description for his collection
which gives the game away about what gets him excited: Stonehengiana.
For the past 15 years he has amassed books, souvenirs, postcards and pictures of
Stonehenge from auctions, fairs, markets, car boots, “anywhere I can get to”, as well
as the wider global reach of eBay.
This collection is now the focus of Wish You Were Here, an exhibition at
Stonehenge which tells the story of how the prehistoric monument developed from a
Victorian curiosity to one of the world’s most visited sites. Julian, who is also a writer
and broadcaster, says: “Putting the collection together has been a lot of fun, as well as
serious research, and it’s great to see it exhibited at Stonehenge.
“I started the collection as I am fascinated by Stonehenge. I am a professional
archaeologist who has been working in the Stonehenge landscape since 1980 and
from the beginning was aware of the wide range of items, from guidebooks and
souvenir china, to general ephemera, that Stonehenge has inspired over the centuries.”
One wall is covered in postcards, with most visitors being overawed at the stones,
save for one postcard writer who writes “…it’s not as large as I expected”.
Among the guidebooks on display is one from 1893 by custodian William Judd who
daringly described the monument as a “druidical erection” and whose duties included
chasing away visitors who came with hammers, hired locally, allegedly, to chip bits
from the stones as momentoes.
Wish You Were Here runs until March 2016.
Welsh organisers’
fair and fleamarket
revamp is taking off
Right: this watercolour study of a heron by Sir
Kyffin Williams, the late renowned Welsh artist,
sold to a private collector at £1475 at Towy
Events’ revamped antiques and fleamarket at
the Carmarthen Showground on May 17. It was
framed and signed and offered by the fairs’
organisers Carol and Robert Pugh. Advised
to take up painting because of his ‘abnormality’
(epilepsy), Williams’ most characteristic pictures
were landscapes of his native Anglesey, the
paint richly applied with a palette knife. Talking
about the new format, Carol said sales of
furniture, “which doesn’t always sell so readily
at the fleamarket”, were particularly buoyant.
She added: “A few dealers commented that they were selling better-quality items, which we hope
reflects the fact that some of our good buyers from the antiques fairs have discovered that there are
good things for sale at our new combination antiques and fleamarkets.”

First major sale of Aborigine art
showcases wizards of Oz design
ARE bark paintings of erotic spirit figures your thing? They are among the 75 lots on offer as
Sotheby’s hold their inaugural London sale of Aboriginal art on June 10.
It is the first such sale to be held by a major auction house outside Australia. Showcasing
work by indigenous Australians spanning more than 200 years, the sale is focused around a
selection of works from the Thomas Vroom Collection, one of Europe’s largest collections of
Aboriginal art.
Of the 75 lots, 64 come from the collection of Vroom, and a further 11 from collections in
the UK, US, Italy and Australia.
Tim Klingender, Sotheby’s senior consultant Australian art, who has organised the sale, said:
“With the Vroom collection at the heart of the sale we are able to offer works of exceptional
historical importance and significance, rarity and quality.
“These museum-quality artworks range from early stone carved shields, extraordinary
bark paintings of erotic spirit figures and Wanjina beings, early Papunya paintings from the
beginnings of the Western Desert art movement, to contemporary paintings by the most
acclaimed artists in the field, including Rover Thomas and Emily Kngwarreye.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Waterloo was a momentous battle but completely avoidable
SIR – I read with interest the reports in this
week’s ATG (No 2192) of the upcoming
and previously held Waterloo sales being
presented by various auction houses and
the great interest the 200th anniversary of
this momentous battle has aroused.
However, I cannot help but wonder
how many people attending these sales
consider the fact that perhaps of all the
battles of the Napoleonic wars this one
was the most avoidable of them all.
When Napoleon was given the title
Emperor of Elba and sent to that island
by the allies, the new French government
of Louis XVIII agreed to pay him an
annual pension of 2m francs a year.
Once the Emperor was on the island
they reneged on this agreement and
steadfastly refused to pay. Napoleon,
unable to pay the 1000 members of the
guard who had followed him to Elba, was
left with a stark choice: remain on the
island defenceless or return to France.
Napoleon did not escape from Elba; he
was the Emperor, he had a navy consisting
of three ships. When the allies were not
paying attention he loaded his troops on
to his navy and sailed for France.
It was a sign of how unpopular the
government of Louis XVIII was that
Napoleon was able to retake France at
a single march (as Lord Byron put it)
and without a single shot fired. On his
return to Paris he wrote to all the heads
of state of the allied powers and assured
them that he had no interest in war and
wanted only peace.
The allies at once declared war not
on France but on Napoleon. Massively
outnumbered and outgunned, Napoleon
tried to split the allies and take them
on one at a time and this he almost
accomplished at Waterloo but for the
incompetence of Marshal Grouchy.
Napoleon was punished for his attempt
to regain France by having his spirit and
will to live ground out of him day after
relentless day on the rock of St Helena.
Wellington, traumatised by the
slaughter he witnessed, never took part
in another campaign and had to listen to
the delusional Prince Regent talk about
how he had taken part in the battle in
disguise and saying to Wellington how
we fought on that bloody day Arthur, to
which the duke would reply: “You often
remind me of it sir.”
Was Waterloo a turning point in
European history?
If it was, it was not a good one, for
once France was no longer the dominant
power on the continent Napoleon had
always feared that Russia would fill
the void.
It was in fact the Prussian policy of
uniting the German states under one
government that would be the next
unstoppable force in Europe and without
a strong France the turn Europe would
make would lead down a path far darker
than anything Wellington or Napoleon
could imagine.

Oak specialists go for chop and change
A FRESH new look is sprucing up the premises of South
Yorkshire auctioneers Wilkinsons.
Trading from Nether Hall Road, Doncaster, since
the mid 1990s, the company run by auctioneer Sid
Wilkinson may have had minor ‘touch-ups’ over
the years but now they have launched a complete
renovation of the auction house.
Starting with the front exterior and reception,
plans are under way to continue working through the
cavernous period building to the rear. Sid Wilkinson says:
“The decision was made to tastefully re-decorate in
classic neutral colours with specialist lighting and gallery
hanging systems to modernise the feel of the auction
rooms and improve how items are displayed. Hopefully
this shows how antique and specialist items can work
against a modern clean background.
“It was a group decision really, we all looked around
and thought ‘yup, time for a change’. We are powering
on with hopes of completing the main auction room In
time for our specialist oak sale on June 21.”
The reception renovation was completed just in time
for Wilkinsons’ most recent auction on April 26.
Spending nearly £5000 on the reception area alone
so far, Sid Wilkinson estimates that the whole renovation
will top £15,000 and he hopes to complete the work
before the final 2015 auction on November 29.

Ewbank’s flying high 25 years after Hog’s Back Hotel launch
IT’S party time at Surrey auctioneers
Ewbank’s on June 13 as they mark their
25th anniversary.
As part of a celebration at their Burnt
Common base in London Road, Send, the
saleroom will be open for visitors to view
entries in the three-day summer auction
of fine art and antiques on June 17-19.
But one significant lot will not be on
show. Nothing to do with hiding it away
– just a bit difficult when you don’t have
a landing strip.
This is easily the largest object ever sold
by Ewbank’s: an airworthy, bright yellow
1948 Piper PA-17 Vagabond two-seater
aeroplane. Last flown in August 2014, the
plane has logged 3800 flying hours.
Its last owner Tony Pearce lived
for flying. His grandfather flew a De
Havilland DH6, of the type used by the
Royal Flying Corps, acquired just after the
First World War. His father worked for
Vickers at Weybridge, and Pearce’s entire
working life was spent in the Operations
Department of British Airways. He
learned to fly with BA’s flying club as
others would learn to drive.
Pearce died last November, just a
couple of months short of this 70th
birthday and the executors of his estate
have consigned this plane to auction. It
can be seen at White Waltham Airfield,
Maidenhead, before the June auction
only by arrangement with Ewbank’s and
is estimated at £15,000-20,000.
Much more is on offer during the June
13 celebration, however, such as a display
of classic cars, a jazz band, magic show,
Chinese lion dances, a Pimms tent, a hog
roast and free ice cream.
Money raised from sales and
donations for food and drinks go to the
Nepal Earthquake Appeal launched by
the Disasters Emergency Committee.
Above: the Piper PA-17 Vagabond aeroplane on offer at Ewbank’s on June 17-19.
Further funds will be raised for the
appeal by saleroom valuations carried out
on the day by Ewbank’s specialists in a
marquee erected specially for the event.
A charge of £1 per item valued will be
made, all of which will be added to the
Nepal appeal.
Anyone owning a classic car is invited
to put their vehicle on display alongside
those consigned for sale in the June
auction.
The open day runs noon to 5pm.
Chris Ewbank founded Ewbank’s
in 1990. In 1994, having initially held
auctions at the Hog’s Back Hotel, he
acquired the present premises at Burnt
Common and took over the longestablished auction business of Clarke
Gammon Wellers in Guildford. His
son, Andrew, is business development
manager and heads the Contemporary
art and fine wine departments.
Right: one of the Ewbank’s specialists happy for a chat
during their June 13 open day is Alistair McCrea who
launched their entertainment sales in 2013. He got
married recently, but there was a bit of a problem
with the venue – it burned down two days before
the wedding day. The tragic fire at Clandon Park
in Surrey not only destroyed the 18th century
mansion and much of its contents but left Alistair
and bride-to-be Caroline looking for a new
venue to tie the knot. Thankfully,
as The Times reported in their
‘Marriages and Engagements’
section at the weekend, Loseley
Park, the 16th century manor house close
to Clandon Park, was able to come to their
last-minute rescue (but 95 guests had to
be notified about the change). After a
week-long honeymoon in Crete, Alistair
can look forward to the Music & Sporting
Memorabilia sale at Ewbank’s on
June 25 and Film/TV & Entertainment
Memorabilia the day after.
