Thomas 3rd Lord Denman (1874-1954) painted by Mark Milbanke ( 1875-1927)

Lady Denman (1884-1954) painted by Sir William Nicholson (British 1872-1949)

The public will get a very rare chance to see inside one of Sydney's most famed private residences when the contents of historic home, Rosemont, are auctioned on June 5 in Sydney, with a public viewing at 14 Rosemont Avenue, Woollahra from Thursday 2 June to Saturday 4 June, 11am-5pm daily.

In the 1930s, it was bought by Lady Hannah Lloyd Jones (wife of David Jones chairman, Sir Charles Lloyd Jones), who held lavish parties attended by prominent VIPs, including Sir Robert Menzies, Prince Philip, Noel Coward, Danny Kaye, Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein.

The home of Lady Burrell and her late husband Sir Raymond Burrell and their family since 1983, this exciting auction will see Rosemont's contents up for auction, including rare and beautiful art and antiques, as well as gracious home furnishings.

Sir John Raymond Burrell succeeded as the 9th Baronet Raymond of Valentine House, co. Essex [G.B., 1774] on May 4, 1985, and held the office of Deputy Lieutenant (D.L.) in 2000. While his family's ancestral seat is Knepp Castle in West Sussex, he and Lady Burrell purchased Rosemont in the 1980s.

Rosemont was recently sold for AUD$45M, setting a real estate record for the suburb of Woollahra and a new benchmark for Sydney's non-waterfront trophy homes. The historic mansion was built in 1857 by merchant banker and politician Alexander Campbell and was the centrepiece of Sydney's high society for over a century. The 3000sqm property is one of Woollahra's most significant private landholdings. During its 164-year history, it was owned by some of Sydney's most prominent business and political figures, including businessman Sir Samuel Sydney Cohen, financier Sir John Joseph Garvan, and Sir Charles and Lady Mackellar, parents of Australian poet Dorothea Mackellar.

Sir Raymond and Lady Burrell purchased Rosemont at a mortgagee sale in 1983, which planned for the house to be subdivided into a series of apartments. In the following years, the Burrells carried out significant renovations – completely changing the entrance to the house, creating a wonderful garden and a usable family home. Sir Raymond Burrell’s family history in Australia spans back to 1911. His grandfather – Lord Denman (3rd Baron Denman) served as the fifth Governor-General of Australia, in office from 1911 to 1914. On 12 March 1913, Lord Denman inaugurated the site of the future national capital and Lady Denman formally announced its name, Canberra.

Cadogan Gallery London, via Robert Holden bought as "Melchior de Hondecoeter and studio" for 29,900 pounds on 11 June 1986 (including commissions) $40,000–60,000

Melchior d'Hondecoeter was a much celebrated Dutch animalier painter and he was born in 1635 at Utrecht and died in Amsterdam in 1695. He painted virtually exclusively bird subjects, usually exotic or game, in parklike landscapes. Hondecoeter's paintings featured geese (Brent goose, Egyptian goose and Red-breasted goose), fieldfares, partridges, pigeons, ducks, northern cardinal, magpies and peacocks, but also African grey crowned cranes, Asian sarus cranes, Indonesian yellow-crested cockatoos, Indonesian purple-naped lory and grey-headed lovebirds from Madagascar. Very few of his pictures are dated, around twenty of them, though more are signed. His masterpieces are at The Hague, Soestdijk and at Amsterdam (The Floating Feather), but there are fine examples in the Wallace Collection and Belton House in England, and in the public galleries of Berlin, Budapest, Caen, Cologne, Copenhagen, Detroit, Dresden, Dublin, Florence, Glasgow, Hanover, Karlsruhe, Kassel, London, Lyon, Lille, Melbourne, Montpellier, Munich, Paris, Poltava, Riga, Rotterdam, Rouen, Stuttgart, Schwerin, Vaduz, Warsaw and Vienna. The largest Hondecoeter exhibition to date was held in Berlin in 2010, where 18 of his works were shown at the Neue Nationalgalerie. Melchior d’Hondecoeter’s autograph work of this image called ‘The Pair of Peacocks’ is in the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (Kunste Wein).

10 PAUL SANDBY ENGLISH (CIRCA 1730-1809)

A Prospect of Bolton Hall, Wensleydale, North Yorkshire oil on canvas signed lower right 147 x 235cm PROVENANCE

By Descent Charles Powlett 5th Duke of Bolton Offered Sotheby’s London July 9 1986 British paintings 1500-1850 Lot 83 for 60,000-80,000 pounds but went unsold. Acquired by Sir Raymond and Lady Burrell via Robert Holden, London, 7 August 1986, for 40,000 pounds. $40,000–60,000

Paul Sandby RA (1731 – 7 November 1809) was an English map-maker turned landscape painter who, along with his older brother Thomas, became one of the founding members of the Royal Academy London in 1768. Following the suppression of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, Sandby was employed to assist in the military survey of new roads of the northern and western parts of the Scottish Highlands.While undertaking this commission, which included preparing designs for new bridges and fortifications, he began producing watercolour landscapes documenting the changes in Scotland since the rebellion, and making sketches of Scottish events such as the hanging in Edinburgh of soldier-turned-forger John Young in 1751 He left his post with the survey in 1751, and spent some time living with his brother, who had been appointed Deputy Ranger of Windsor Great Park. There he assisted his brother, and made a series of drawings of the castle, the town, and its neighbourhood, which were purchased by Sir Joseph Banks. His skills were applauded by fellow artists such as Thomas Gainsborough: if one wanted "Real views from nature in this country", declared Gainsborough in 1764, there was no better artist than Sandby” He also etched a large number of plates after his own drawings, a hundred of which (including views of Edinburgh) were published in a volume in 1765. In 1760 he issued twelve etchings of The Cries of London. It is not recorded how long Sandby lived with his brother at Windsor, but he is said to have spent part of each year in London, and much of his time was probably spent on sketching excursions. In 1760 he contributed to the first exhibition of the Society of Artists. He exhibited regularly with the society until the foundation of the Royal Academy eight years later, and was one of its first directors when it was incorporated in 1765. In 1768, he was appointed chief drawing master to the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich, a position he retained until 1799. On the formation of the Royal Academy in the same year he was one of the 28 founder-members nominated by George III. Sandby made extensive journeys around Britain and Ireland, sketching scenery and ancient monuments. He made his first recorded visit to Wales in 1770, later (1773) touring south Wales with Sir Joseph Banks, resulting in the 1775 publication of XII Views in South Wales and a further 12 views the following year, part of a 48-plate series depicting Welsh scenery commissioned by Banks. He died at his house in Paddington on 7 November 1809, and was buried in the burial ground of St Georges Hanover Square. He was described in his obituaries as "the father of modern landscape painting"

Terms and Conditions of Sale The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Artvisory Pty Ltd. They are the terms on which Artvisory Pty Ltd and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows: “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer “the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. “the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot

Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.

“the Buyers Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. “the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Artvisory has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold. “Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including re-painting). “the insured value” means the amount that Artvisory in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged by Artvisory.)

Catalogue and other Descriptions All statements by Artvisory in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Artvisory of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or it’s value for any other purpose. Neither Artvisory nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.

Buyers Responsibility All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Artvisory or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.

2. Artvisory Auctions as Agent Except as otherwise stated Artvisory Pty Ltd acts as agent for the Seller.

4. At the Sale

The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

Refusal of Admission Artvisory reserves the right at our complete discretion to refuse admission to the auction premises or participation in any auction and to reject any bid.

Registration before Bidding Any prospective new buyer must complete and sign a registration form and provide photo-identification before bidding. Artvisory may request bank, trade or other financial references to substantiate this registration.

3. Before the Sale Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place. Neither Artvisory nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below. The property is otherwise sold “AS IS”

Bidding as a Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyers premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Artvisory before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Artvisory and that Artvisory will only look to the principal for payment.

International Registrations All International clients not known to Artvisory will be required to scan through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Artvisory’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Artvisory also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid. This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 can not be charged to this card without prior arrangement. This deposit is redeemable against any auction purchase.

Absentee bids Artvisory will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Artvisory after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.

Telephone bids Priority will be given to overseas and interstate bidders. Please refer to the catalogue for the Telephone Bids form. Arrangements for this service must be confirmed AT LEAST 24 HOURS PRIOR to the auction commencing. Artvisory accepts no responsibility whatsoever for any errors or failure to execute bids. In telephone bidding the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here and accepts that Artvisory cannot be held responsible for any miscommunications in the process. The success of telephone bidding cannot be guaranteed due to circumstances that are unforeseen. Buyers should be aware of the risk and accept the consequences should contact be unsuccessful at the time of Auction. You must advise Artvisory of the lots in question and you will be assumed to be a buyer at the minimum price of 75% of estimate (ie. reserve) for all such lots. Artvisory will advise Telephone Bidders who have registered at least 24 hours before the auction of any relevant changes to descriptions, withdrawals or any other sale room notices.

Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in Australian dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.

All values expressed in Artvisory Pty Ltd catalogues (in any format) are in Australian Dollars (AU$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in Australian Dollars (AU$) unless otherwise specified.

G) Online Bidding Artvisory offers an online bidding service via Invaluable.com. When bidding online the buyer agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions listed here by Artvisory and agrees to pay any fees charged in regard to any purchases made via Invaluable.com. Artvisory accepts no responsibility for any errors, failure to execute bids or any other miscommunications regarding this process. It is the online bidder’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the relevant information regarding bids, lot numbers and contact details.

5. After the Sale a)

Buyers Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay to Artvisory the buyer's premium. The buyer’s premium is 24% of the hammer price plus GST. (Goods and Services Tax) where applicable.

Payment and passing of title The buyer must pay to the company trust account managed by KK Partners Pty Ltd Chartered Accountants the full amount due (comprising the hammer price, buyer's premium and any applicable taxes and GST) not later than 3 days after the auction date.

H) Reserves Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. I)

The buyer will not acquire title for the lot until Artvisory receives full payment in cleared funds, and no goods under any circumstances will be released without confirmation of cleared funds received. This applies even if the buyer wishes to send items interstate or overseas. Payment can be made by direct transfer, cash (not exceeding $5,000AUD, if wishing to pay more than $5,000AUD then this must be deposited directly into the company trust account and bank receipt supplied) and Eftpos (please check your daily limit). Payments can also be made by credit card in person with a 1.3% (inc GST) merchant fee for Visa and Mastercard and 2% (inc GST) for American Express. Credit card payments where the card-holder is not present, can not be accepted unless a scanned image of the card and signature is supplied (that corresponds with the supplied signature on the bidding or registration forms). Personal cheques are only accepted with prior arrangement and funds must be cleared before goods will be released. Bank cheques are subject to three days clearance.

Auctioneers Discretion The Auctioneer has the right at his absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he may decide, to withdraw or divide any lot, to combine any two or more lots and, in the case or error or dispute and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to re-offer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, then Artvisory’s sale record is conclusive. Successful bid and passing of risk Subject to the auctioneer’s discretion, the highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer will be the buyer and the striking of his hammer marks the acceptance of the highest bid and the conclusion of a contract for sale between the Seller and the Buyer. Risk and responsibility for the lot (including frames or glass where relevant) passes immediately to the Buyer.

The buyer is responsible for any bank fees and charges applicable for the transfer of funds into Artvisory’s company trust account. c)
