Regent’s treat
Rediscovered Prince of Wales portrait sold for €325,000 by Laura Chesters This rediscovered drawing of the future George IV (1762-1830) is believed to have been owned by his true love Maria Fitzherbert (1756-1837). It surfaced at the Drouot auction centre in Paris on December 16. Estimated at €12,000-15,000, it was hammered down at €325,000/£276,700 (plus 28% buyer’s premium) by local auction house Baron Ribeyre.

Fleamarket find joins the national ceramics collection A white porcelain sculpture made in the experimental years of the Chelsea factory has been acquired for the national ceramics collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Head of a Laughing Child c.1746-49 was first unveiled at auction in 2013 after its chance discovery at a French fleamarket. Only one other porcelain example of the 8in (20cm) model is recorded: that in the Ashmolean Museum decorated (probably at a later date) with coloured enamels.
Louis François Roubiliac The identities of the subject and the sculptor of the bust have been much discussed by scholars and collectors. The V&A is now almost certain it was modelled by Louis François Roubiliac (1702-62), the French sculptor working in London in the 1740s who was friends with the silversmith and entrepreneur Nicholas Sprimont (1716-71), proprietor of the Chelsea porcelain factory.
Maria Fitzherbert ‘pendant’ The 9 x 5½in (23 x 14cm) watercolour, black pencil and gum arabic drawing on paper is the work of leading Regency m i n iat u r i st R icha rd Cos way (1742-1821). It is very similar in style and technique to a larger 12 x 9in (30 x 22cm) portrait of Fitzherbert sold for £65,000 (plus 25% buyer’s premium) at Christie’s Old Master sale on July 2, 2019. This ‘pendant’ picture, it later emerged, had been acquired for The Royal Collection Trust. Cosway met the Prince of Wales in 1780 through Fitzherbert and eventually completed nearly 50 portraits as the heir to the throne’s ‘principal painter’. During the early years of the secret 1785 marriage between George and Maria (the union was not approved by the king), Cosway received numerous commissions from the couple.

Chelsea head acquired by V&A Continued from front page
It may represent Sophie Roubiliac, daughter of the sculptor and Sprimont’s goddaughter. Roubiliac would have made the head in clay (approximately 20% bigger than the resulting porcelain model) and from this plaster moulds were taken. It was slip cast as a single piece.
New discovery While the Ashmolean head is much published (discovered in 1938, it has been in the museum’s collection since 1965) the V&A’s model, left in the white as the potter intended, is a relatively new discovery. It was bought in south-west Brittany in 2011 by retired porcelai n dealer L ouis Woodford, who recognised it as a significant piece of English porcelain. In 2012 the two heads were broug ht together for comparison. The plain white sculpture has been deemed more aesthetically pleasing, and its firing seems to have been more successful. The
glassy body and glaze, as well as the surface pitting, are typical of the early period at Chelsea. The piece was offered for sale at Bonhams in April 2013 with a ‘refer to department’ estimate and predictions of a new six-figure auction record for English porcelain (currently a premium-inclusive £223,650 paid for a Chelsea ‘hen and chicks’ tureen at Christie’s in 2003). At the time the auction house said it had been in a private collection for many years, the owners ‘displaying it on the mantlepiece in their house, on top of a wine bottle’. Although it failed to sell in the saleroom, such an important piece later proved a target for the national collection. It has been acquired for an undisclosed sum with support from the Art Fund and is now on display in the V&A’s British Galleries alongside some of the earliest examples of English porcelain, including Roubiliac’s figure of William Hogarth’s dog Trump also made by the Chelsea factory c.1747-50. Reino Lief kes, head of
ceramics at the V&A, said: “Roubiliac’s Head of a Laughing Child is one of the most exciting discoveries in ceramics for many years. This vivacious sculpture is one of the most fluently modelled examples of English sculptural porcelain ever produced and I’m thrilled it joins our collection.” Roland Arkell

However, his relationship with the woman he described as ‘the wife of my heart and soul’ endured until his death. He was buried with a Cosway miniature of Maria around his neck.

Right: believed to be the portrait’s ‘pendant’, this 12 x 9in (30 x 22cm) watercolour, pencil and gum arabic Portrait of Maria Fitzherbert c.1789 by Cosway was sold by Christie’s in July for £65,000.
Drouot, painted in Cosway’s typical miniature style, is best known from an engraving published c.1787 by artist Louis Sailliar (1748-95). It appeared to be in a period frame carved with the Prince of Wales feathers and motto to the crest. London dealer Philip Mould, one of the underbidders
of the Paris portrait, said: “Richard Cosway has bucked the trend of many 18th and 19th century British artists and his stock has risen considerably in recent years. Added to this, the drawing was the perfect storm from a collector’s perspective: a lost work depicting the artist’s most important patron, a

Rescued from a skip, a rusting British enamel advertising sign sold for £10,400 (plus 24% buyer’s premium) at auction in Carmarthen, writes Roland Arkell. Although in poor condition – it has significant losses to the lower half – the 3ft 6in x 2ft 4in (1.05m x 70cm) item, offered for sale by Peter Francis on December 18 with an estimate of £1000-2000, is considered something of a ‘holy grail’ object for collectors of early motoring signs. Made in the 1920s, the evocative image depicts a racing car passing the finishing line at speed with the legend beneath reading The Winner BP The British Petrol.
Record holder The Winner advertising sign was produced for British Petroleum in three sizes, of which this is the largest. Only a handful of others have been seen at auction i ncludi ng a superbly preserved example which sold for £28,000 (plus 15% buyer’s premium) at the Canterbury Auction Galleries in 2005 – still considered an auction record for a British enamel advertising sign. Another example in decent condition sold for £8000 at Stride & Son of Chichester in 2016.

Plan to slash some business rates from April by Noelle McElhatton and Laura Chesters Trade bodies and dealers with shops have given a collective thumbs-up to the new Conservative government’s pledge to slash small business rates by half. The Queen’s Speech on December 19, 2019, included the promise to ease the rates burden for the high street. The 50% tax break applies to businesses with a rateable value below £51,000 and comes into force in April 2020, with an overhaul of the rates system promised in the March 2020 budget. The discount will benefit dealers in certain parts of London and in other cities and towns but is unlikely to impact

those dealers with premises in exclusive areas such as London’s Mayfair district. Tr a d e b o d y le a d e r s welcomed the move, which is a boost on the previous Tory government’s temporary 30% discount reprieve on business rates in 2018. “The revaluation of business rates [in the past 10 years] has been one of the principal causes of the collapse of high street retail,” said Michael Cohen, chairman of BADA. “It can only be a good thing that the government has now recognised that the policy of increasing business rates was regressive and destructive to small businesses.” Christopher Battiscombe, director general of the Society of London Art Dealers (SLAD), said he was “delighted” at the
reduction in rates for small businesses. “The huge increase in business rates has been of considerable concern for many of our members and I hope that they will be able to benefit from the new proposals,” he added. Meanwhile dealers in Cecil Court, London, reacted with delight at the Queen’s Speech pledge. “This is good news,” said Tim Bryars of bookseller Bryars & Bryars. “I have been campaigning on this issue for over 10 years now. “The immediate reduction in business rates is great for me, but as the threshold is £51,000 I am well aware that many of my neighbours in London – for example those trading on nearby Charing Cross Road – will still be paying full whack.”
Bryars added: “I am far more excited about the complete overhaul to be announced in March.”
Cautious tone Freya Simms, chief executive of LAPADA, also added a note of caution. She described the spring discount and the promise of more frequent revaluation as “an early Christmas gift for LAPADA’s members, as is”. However, she deemed the measure as “a short-term plaster on a long-standing issue” and is hoping for further reform. “We must focus on a bigger overhaul of the business rates system, providing stability and assurance to dealers who have suffered from the demise of the high street.”
Specialist firm adopts ‘live but online’ auction selling model Scientific instruments and photog raphica specialist Flints Auctions has opened new premises and is launching a fresh type of sale, writes Laura Chesters. It has moved to a 3000 sq ft bui ldi ng i n T hatcha m, Berkshire, and will begin a series of auctions without room bidders. The first will be a general camera sale on January 23. Although commission bids
and phone lines will be offered, the auction house hopes most bidders will bid through its own website or thesaleroom.com. Flints’ Jonathan Brown said: “More than 80% of our bidders are already online with only around 15 people coming to our former saleroom venue for auctions. Online is so much easier and ef f icient for ever yone.” He said the company will offer between six
to eight phone lines but will encourage most participants to bid online. All lots will be available to view for one or two weeks ahead of each auction at the new premises. The sales will not adopt the ‘timed’ online model. Auctions will be taken by the auctioneer on the rostrum with no bidders in the room and broadcast live from the Thatcham premises.
Brown said successful bidders who have attended a viewing will be offered free postage for the lots they have won (subject to T&Cs). He added: “Room bidders won’t lose out as it still means only one trip to the saleroom when you view the items.” Only Flints’ biannual Fine Sales will be held as traditional public auctions with bidders in the room. Viewing will take
place in Thatcham with these auctions held at the Hilton Hotel in Reading. Set up in 2017 by dealers Matthew Nunn and Keith Petts and auctioneer Jonathan Brown, Flints first operated from north London before holding sales in Reading. In July it will launch a new auction category – vintage and second-hand hi-fi equipment – titled the Audiophile sale.
Falangcai enamel bowl heads Paris Asian series at €3.25m A Yongzheng (1723-35) mark and period falangcai enamel bowl sold for €3.25m (£2.8m) to lead the recent round of Asian art sales in Paris, writes Roland Arkell. It came for sale at Millon & Associés on December 11 with an ‘estimate on request’. The cataloguing was undertaken by the Paris specialist cabinet Gauchet Asian Art. The 6½in (16cm) diameter bowl is painted with gnarled branches of plum blossom – one with pink, the other with yellowwhite f lowers – and to the reverse with lines of a poem revering this winter bouquet. 8 | 11 January 2019

Three seals in pink enamel are accompanied by a fourcharacter reign mark in overglaze blue. This type of decoration, produced by imperial ateliers in Beijing rather than at the kilns
in Jingdezhen, takes its name from a workshop in the Forbidden City called Falang Zuohence. Three other falangcai bowls of this particular type are k now n: one i n the
Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, another in the Wang Xing Lou collection and a third in a private collection in Hong Kong. Three shallow dishes with comparable decoration, possibly the work of
the same artist, are also recorded, including that with identical enamelled seals (but a different poem) sold by Christie’s Hong Kong in 2002 for HK$32.5m including premium. According to the provenance, the Millon bowl (sold for over €4m including fees) had been brought back from China c.1910-20 by a French military family. It had changed hands in the early 1990s and was last offered at auction by Nagel of Stuttgart in 2004. More highlights from the French Asian art sales appear on page 32-33. antiquestradegazette.com

News Digest Pick of the week
Left: two Opus Anglicanum embroidery panels – £290,000 at Sotheby's.
Embroidery panels point to six figures A sale of art and antiques from a Worcestershire manor house included the rare appearance at auction of two examples of Opus Anglicanum. The 18in (25cm) square panels of English medieval embroidery c.132030, framed together, were estimated at £20,00030,000. The phrase Opus Anglicanum (literally ‘work of the English’) was used in continental medieval sources to describe the highly prized gold work embroidery produced by professional embroiderers in London and other regional centres as well as members of the monastic community. The technically exacting craft was a casualty of the Black Death in the 14th century and many examples were subsequently lost during the Reformation. These two panels, of barbed quatrefoil format, are finely worked in silk and metal-thread, one depicting the Crucifixion, with Christ flanked by the Virgin and St John, the other showing the Coronation of the Virgin. The embroidery is exceptionally fine – for example the extraordinary skin of the figures is worked in delicate
swirls to give the impression of movement – and both are in good condition. The colours, although faded, still showed a range of delicate greens, blues and yellows. As gleaned from the exhibition Opus Anglicanum: Masterpieces of English Medieval Embroidery at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2016-17, most of the extant works survived in Europe or were discreetly preserved by Catholic families in Britain. The panels offered at Sotheby’s in London on December 11 had come from one of Britain’s great Regency homes, Spetchley Park in Wychavon. Henry Berkeley, a direct descendant of Robert Berkeley (1764-1845) who built the house in Bath stone on family lands in 1811, inherited the property
two years ago and plans to move back to the estate with his young family. The £3.1m sale of some 750 objects will raise funds for renovation with these panels providing a very welcome boost of £290,000 (£362,500 including 25% buyer’s premium). It is unknown when the panels joined the family collection but the Berkeleys were notable collectors and antiquarians. They augmented the furnishings at Spetchley through foreign travel and purchases at some of the great 19th century house sales including Lord Berwick’s historic sale at Attingham in 1827, William Beckford’s Lansdown Hill sale in 1841 and the Buckingham and Chandos sale at Stowe in 1848.

Gallery seals Gentileschi deal Above: detail of page from the William Peckitt notebook bought by the University of York.
University buys teenager's diary A 90-page journal kept by a 15-year-old boy has been purchased by the University of York for a hammer price of £3200 at auction. The teenager was Yorkshire-born William Peckitt (1731-95) who went on to become a celebrated stained-glass craftsman. He counted George III among his patrons and the vivid colours of his work can been seen in many churches and grand houses across the UK. The 1746 notebook was offered at auction with a £100-150 estimate at Toovey’s (24.5% buyer’s premium) in West Sussex on August 13. The university emerged as the buyer in December. It funded the purchase with help from the Terry Trust,
London’s National Gallery has raised the final sums required to buy The Finding of Moses by Orazio Gentileschi (1563-1639) from its owner, entrepreneur and founder of the DFS furniture retailer, Graham Kirkham. The painting, the only Orazio Gentileschi work in a UK public collection, has been on loan to the gallery since 2002. However, Kirkham is selling part of his collection, having put five Old Masters up for sale at Sotheby’s in July.
Above: The mocking of Christ by Cimabue has been temporarily blocked from export in France.
The cost of acquiring The Finding of Moses was £22m, though the net cost to the gallery would be £19.5m through a private treaty sale being arranged by Sotheby’s and Pyms Gallery. Grants towards this purchase included £2.5m from the National Heritage Memorial Fund and £1m from Art Fund.
Search for French Cimabue buyer Above: London’s National Gallery has raised the final sums required to buy The Finding of Moses by Orazio Gentileschi.
The French government has blocked the export of The mocking of Christ, a medieval panel by Cenni di Pepo (known as Cimabue) that sold in October for €19.5m plus premium at
auction house Actéon. Now classified as a ‘national treasure’, the state has 30 months to make an offer to acquire the work from its current owners. Under French law, the painting cannot leave the country during this period and the authorities have the right to renew the export restriction if the owner refuses to accept the state’s purchase offer. At the sale in Senlis, around 50 miles from Paris, on October 27, the Cimabue panel was estimated at €4m-6m but drew dramatic competition well above this level, setting a record for a medieval panel. It became the eighth most expensive Old Master ever sold.

Gainsborough painting export bar The owner of a Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88) painting has been temporarily prevented from exporting the picture by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Going to Market, Early Morning was painted in 1773. It was bought at a Sotheby’s auction in July 2019. The export bar follows the advice of the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Objects of Cultural Interest. The committee agreed that the painting was a brilliant example of Gainsborough’s finest work, and that the unbroken provenance was extremely rare.
Most read Above: Going to Market, Early Morning by Thomas Gainsborough has been temporarily blocked from export.
The painting’s significance for the study of Gainsborough’s relationships with his patrons and landscape art was another factor. The decision on the export licence application for the painting will be deferred until March 22. This may be extended until September 22 if a serious intention to raise is made at the recommended price of £7.96m plus £234,200 VAT.
Medals earned by a Hardy band of brothers Peninsular War medals featuring 13 or 14 clasps – showing how many actions the recipient fought in – are impressive enough in themselves. But three of them awarded to brothers who served in the same regiment, offered as a single lot at auction, takes demand to a different level. The trio of Military General Service medals 1793-1814 earned by the Hardy brothers of the 7th Fusiliers sold for £38,000 at London auction house Dix Noonan Webb (24% buyer's premium) in its December 11-12 sale. The brothers were born in Manchester. Sgt-Major John Hardy was wounded at the battles of Albuhera and Salamanca, and was a volunteer at the storming of St Sebastian. His medal had 14 clasps. Corp Peter Hardy, who was wounded in the neck at the capture of Martinique, twice by musket balls in the leg and thigh at the battle of Albuhera, and again in the arm at the battle of Salamanca earned 13 clasps. Pte James Hardy, the first of the three brothers to enlist and whose health on discharge in 1824 was ‘much impaired by hard services’, had an MGS with 13 clasps. The provenance of the collection can be traced back to the Lord Cheylesmore Collection of 1880. The medals, estimated at £20,000-30,000, sold to an online bidder. Tom Derbyshire

The joys of being cosmopolitan
Sales offering an international line-up of lots highlight global appeal of provincial auctions by Terence Ryle
1
Provincial by geography but far from provincial in outlook, auction houses from Essex to the Yorkshire Dales underlined the international nature of their trade at recent auctions. Cosmopolitanism covered both what was on offer and who was buying. At Sworders (23% buyer’s premium) in Stansted Mountfitchet on December 3-4, furniture, decorative arts and ceramics took most of the top prices. Leading the furniture was a large c.1880 Japanese parquetry cylinder desk inlaid with various timbers in geometric designs, typical of the pieces produced in the Meiji period to showcase the skills of Japanese craftsmen to the European market. At the Essex sale, the 4ft 8in (1.43m) wide desk was pitched at £3000-5000 but sold to a London collector at £9000.

French connection A Louis XV-design kingwood and vernis Martin bureau de dame was one of the surprises of the auction. Probably made in the late 19th century when leading Parisian cabinet-makers were championing the rococo revival, it featured a painted genre scene panel to the hinged fall. Standing 3ft 11in (1.26m) high on cabriole legs, it went to the UK trade via thesaleroom.com at £5000 – which was 10 times the lower estimate. Another example of French revivalism went similarly above expectations. This was a c.1910 elaborately carved French walnut bed, c.190020, with a pair of matching marbletopped bedside cabinets, each carved with acanthus, masks and (to the bed) a pair of caryatids. Against a £400-600 estimate, the suite sold to a Canadian buyer at £5400. A more exotic item was a silver – or rather ‘white metal’ – mounted piece from India, a coco de mer water carrier made in Kutch c.1890. With a cow’s-head spout, pierced 14 | 11 January 2020

foliate mounts and cobra handle, the 14½in (37cm)goumukhi lacked its cover and was pitched at £400-600 but sold to a UK-based collector at £3700. A pair of 18th or early-19th century pietra dura cartouche-form panels attracted several bidders from Italy, no doubt tempted by the £500-800 estimate. Each measured 2ft (60cm) tall and was worked with all-over stylised foliate decoration and a shell decorated base. The pair went back to Italy at £8500. Germany provided the top-seller among the ceramics: a pair of c.1870 vases which triggered unexpectedly high interest. On pierced gilt bases, the 19in (48.5cm) tall vases supported by four hounds were painted with game to each side and applied with Parian heads of deer and boars. They sold to a London collector at £3000 against
a £400-600 estimate. Among the horology Continental interest emerged for a thoroughly British George III inlaid mahogany musical bracket clock and bracket. Inscribed to the white arched dial and engraved backplate Layne Bath, the 2ft 3in (68cm) tall clock had a triple fusee 13-bell musical movement playing seven airs including God Save the King and Roast Beef. A UK dealer beat European rivals to take the clock at a triple-topestimate £4600. However, a rare work by one of the great names of 17th century English time-keeping – Elias Allen (c.15881653) – went to the Continent. Allen entered the Clockmakers’ Company in 1633 and became Master in 1637-38 but he was also a scientific instruments maker – a signed brass astronomical compendium he made for King James I in 1717 is in the V&A. His specialty was sundials. An 8½in (22cm) wide, early-17th century brass octagonal sundial offered at Sworders, signed Elias Allen, Fecit and featuring months of the year complication and a solid gnomen, was estimated at £300-500 and sold at £3300.
Votes for women Suffragette memorabilia has been a target for Australian buyers at UK provincial auctions recently but a mixed lot at Sworders relating to the campaigner Winifred Suffield remained in the UK. A rare belt featured a 2½in (6.5cm) brass-plated belt buckle showing newspaper illustrator David Wilson’s Haunted House image of a woman holding a Votes for Women sign. It was a £2000-3000 item on its own. Entered by Suffield’s great-niece, the lot also included a Women’s Social and Political Union enameled brooch, a Suffragette pennant and the medals relating to Suffield’s service in the First World War and her work as a nurse. The impressive collection sold on thesaleroom.com to an English collector at an above-estimate £4500. n antiquestradegazette.com

Single-owner Lalique lots excite bidders International interest at the Kingham & Orme (20% buyer’s premium) sale at Evesham on December 6-7 focused on René Lalique. A single-owner collection of the great French designer’s work attracted multiple phone and internet bidders from the US, the Continent and Russia. Top prices came for celebrated vases, designed in the 1920s and made within the founder’s lifetime. Among them was a 10in (25.5cm) tall, opalescent-cased and bluestained vase in the Alicante pattern engraved R Lalique France to base. In February last year a rare jade green version set a record £35,000 at Bonhams. The Evesham offering was estimated at £4000-6000 and sold to an Italian phone bidder at £9500. Other Lalique vases to go way above estimates included a yellow amber, 8in (20cm) tall Tourbillons

vase which was another Italian buy at £7500 ; a red and white, 9½in (24.5cm) tall Ronces vase which went to the US at £4600 and a 9in (23cm) blue-stained Borromee vase which
was a Dutch buy at £3200. A full set of a dozen 4in (10cm) Libellule dragonfly glass knife rests (model 3602), designed c.1919, sold to a French buyer at £2400 (estimate
£1000-1500), while another French bidder took the sepia stained Escargots inkwell (model 433) with the postwar etched mark Lalique at £1900, triple the mid estimate.

Australasian artefacts Australasia provided the talking points and two main buyers at the Tennants (20% buyer’s premium) specialist sale in the Yorkshire Dales on December 13. An Aboriginal parrying shield with an integral handle was worked with carved bands of concentric diamonds. It was catalogued as 20th century and estimated at £400-600, but traces of white pigment to the recesses suggested to bidders the 2ft 10in (86cm) long shield had at least some age and it sold at £4500. For the second time in three months, the saleroom offered one of the ‘platina’ Resolution medals made in 1772 for Captain James Cook to give to indigenous people encountered during his second voyage of discovery to the South Seas and Australasia. On one side is a bust of the king and the words George IIII King of Gr. Britain. France. Ireland. etc. The other depicts Cook’s two vessels, Resolution and Adventure. The earlier example which triggered this latest consignment to the Leyburn rooms took £3200. This one, drilled to take a ribbon, went Down Under at £1700. antiquestradegazette.com

As implied by a plaque to the base titled Aeroplane Par Omertz [sic], this gilt bronze and ivory figure of a boy in an aeroplane was by Georges Omerth (fl.1895-1925). Across three decades he produced figures in a range of modish styles from Neo-classicism (as a student of the sculptor AlbertErnest Carrier-Belleuse) to Art Nouveau and Art Deco. The majority of his designs appear to have been created for the Paris retailer and manufacturer Edmond Etling. This whimsical 10½in (26cm) high model of a boy in flight above a village seems to be a rarity. Despite its obvious condition problems, including a missing chunk to the marble base, it sold for £2000 (estimate £150-200) at the auction conducted by Richard Winterton (20% buyer’s premium) in Lichfield, Staffordshire, on December 11.
Period piece detected Putting classic English furniture firmly back in the forefront of provincial sales in the first part of December was this Chippendale-design Gainsborough library armchair offered in Winchester by Andrew Smith (21% buyer’s premium). With a provenance to Oxfordshire stately country house Tunsmore Park, it was catalogued as 18th or 19th century and estimated at £2000-3000. Bidders at the December 11-12 sale thought more highly of it, spotting a period piece c.1755. It sold to the London trade at £16,000. 11 January 2020 | 15

Auction Reports Art market
Australian works? No worries Varied selection of Down Under images joins British art on offer in Salisbury saleroom by Gabriel Berner Ned Kelly is perhaps Australia’s most famous historical figure. The 19th century outlaw and bushranger, known for his audacious crimes against colonial authorities and distinctive home-made metal armour, is something of a folk hero to many Australians – a courageous underdog, despite the murders of three policemen by his gang. In art, Kelly’s exploits have long provided commercial subject matter for many of Australia’s painters. An early 20th century oil painting depicting the last stand of the Kelly gang at Glenrowan in 1880 was the star lot in a buoyant Modern British & 20th Century Art sale at Salisbury saleroom Woolley & Wallis (25/12% buyer’s premium). The work by the Australian George Washington Lambert (1873-1930) – a war artist principally known for portraits – had not been on the market since it was purchased in 1908 by Sir Walter Baldwin Spencer (1860-1929), an English-Australian biologist and anthropologist sometimes referred to as the ‘father of Australian archaeology’. The siege was the gang’s last failed attack against police, during which Kelly was captured and his brother and other members of the gang lost their lives. Lambert eschewed the obvious subject of the famed outlaw himself and instead painted Kelly’s younger sister Kate astride a horse outside the Glenrowan Inn, trying to make her way past police and reach her brother within. It appears that no other Kellythemed pictures by Lambert have been offered at auction, suggesting this painting may have been commissioned. Interest was high and it sold to the Australian trade for £78,000, over five times the top estimate. “The Kelly Gang have long been a popular subject for Australian artists,” said Victor Fauvelle, paintings specialist at W&W. “It is no surprise that the main bidders for this work were Australian, as the subject holds so much more resonance with them.” Other Australian works from a variety of sources also performed well in the £535,270 sale, which was just shy of 80% sold and took place 18 | 11 January 2020

on December 11, the day after Britain went to the polls. Sidney Nolan (1917-92), whose own depictions of Ned Kelly are renowned, was represented in the sale by two 9 x 12in (24 x 30cm) mixed media works of Leda and the Swan. The classical tale was a long-standing subject for the artist who first painted it as early as 1945. Well-preserved and dated 1959, they sold for £1800 and £2400, the latter being signed. A large 3ft 5in x 23in (1.05m x 59cm) oil on canvas of a young girl holding a flower in a meadow by the Australian Impressionist Iso Rae (1860-1940) with 1980s London gallery provenance sold to a UK buyer for £8500 (£2000-3000) and a 1990 acrylic canvas by the wellknown Aboriginal painter Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri (1932-2002) went to a bidder based in Europe for £7000 (£4000-6000). Showing the artist’s characteristic dot technique, used to suggest movement and rhythm, the latter was titled Men’s Corroborie, an event where Aborigines
interact with ‘dreamtime’ through dance, music and costume.
Sharp summer The contingent of British pictures at W&W contained one of the finest Dorothea Sharp (1874-1955) summer landscapes to be offered in the regions recently. The sun-drenched scene of three figures on a rocky Cornish beach, executed in the artist’s highly impressionistic and spontaneous style, was taken to £55,000 against an inviting £15,000-20,000 estimate. The 2ft 6in x 3ft (77 x 92cm) oil on canvas came with provenance to London’s Paisnel Gallery and had been in a private collection for many years. Contested above a £10,00015,000 guide to £24,000 was a market-fresh British Impressionist regatta scene by the influential director and headmaster of the Glasgow School of Art, Francis Henry Newbery (1855-1946). The 17in x 2ft 3in (42 x 69cm)
oil on canvas was making its first appearance on the market in many years having passed by descent to the private vendor. It depicted Walberswick on the Suffolk coast where Newbery spent his summers, often with fellow artists such as Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The sale contained eight largescale family portraits and allegorical oil paintings by Frank O Salisbury (1874-1962), Britain’s so-called ‘Painter Laureate’. The group formed part of the artist’s personal collection passed down to his descendants and periodically sold off by the Salisbury saleroom since 2013. Hung in the neo-Tudor mansion the artist had built in Hampstead, the group included Sweetening the Hay, a rather unwieldy 3ft 6in x 6ft 4in (1.08 x 1.94m) oil that nearly doubled hopes to sell for £14,000. The remainder – portraits of the artist’s children and wife and a circular canvas painted for seed importer and golf enthusiast Samuel Ryder (of Ryder Cup fame) – sold for a combined £34,200. n antiquestradegazette.com

Pair of Hodgkins high sale prices Two Frances Hodgkins (1869-1947) gouache watercolours painted during her artistic prime were taken to multiestimate sums at separate UK salerooms in the same week. In a sale of Modern & Post-War British art on December 3, west London auction house Chiswick Auctions (25/12% buyer’s premium) sold a 18in x 2ft (47 x 62cm) still-life of vases and fruit from the estate of the artist’s friend and fellow painter Kitty Church and her husband, author Anthony West. Last shown publicly in 1948 at an exhibition on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset – the county where Hodgkins died a year before – it was taken to £19,000 against a £4000-6000 guide. Considered to be one of New Zealand’s most inspiring and influential woman artists, Hodgkins actually spent most of her working life in England and Europe.
Right: still life by Frances Hodgkins – £19,000 at Chiswick Auctions. Far right: Ibiza landscape by Hodgkins – £17,000 at Mallams. By the late 1920s, she had become one of the leading experimental Modern artists in England, despite the hardships she faced as an unmarried woman artist with little to live on. Cedric Morris, her friend and fellow painter, once said of her poverty: “Her courage was phenomenal. It was something the same as Modigliani did, but it killed Modigliani. It didn’t kill her.” Her style became increasingly abstract in the 1930s and she began to use gouache, which became a favoured medium, enabling her to combine the opacity of oil paint with the fluidity of watercolour. The gouaches
painted from this period are considered among her best work.
Ibiza landscape On December 6, Mallams (22.5% buyer’s premium) included a 1934 Ibiza landscape in its Modern & British Post-War Art sale in Oxford. Hodgkins visited Spain several times throughout the 1930s, spending time at Ibiza and Tossa de Mar where she made a number of landscape studies. The 19 x 14in (49 x 37cm) work came from the estate of art dealer and British studio ceramics champion, Peter Dingley
Wyndham Lewis work
Mything in action: spirited Armstrong Rarely seen in public before, this signed 18in x 2ft (45 x 65cm) gouache is one of the earliest works by the British Modernist painter John Armstrong (18931973). Landscape with Figures (Daphnis and Chloe), dated 1927, was displayed at the artist’s first one-man show at London’s Leicester Galleries in 1928. The alternative title refers to the Greek myth of naive young lovers Daphnis and Chloe, raised together on the island of Lesbos and after a series of misadventures marry and live happily ever after. Showing Armstrong’s interest in Surrealism, the painting was bought at the exhibition by Maurice Chesterton (1882-1962), a cousin of writer G K Chesterton, and had passed by descent to the vendor. When it was shown nearly 50 years later at the Royal Academy, shortly after Armstrong’s death, it was described as ‘a picture which… perfectly expresses

In ‘superb preservation’ with the original gold painted chamfered frame and fragmentary exhibition label for the Leicester Galleries, it was purchased by a private UK bidder for £16,000 at Mellors & Kirk (20% buyer’s premium) on November 27. It was estimated at £10,000-15,000.
A bid of £5000 from a Contemporary art gallery in London secured this post-war portrait by the writer and Vorticist painter Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957). The 19 x 16in (48 x 40cm) pastel and pencil drawing of ‘Anne’, signed and dated 1946, was offered in an auction of 20th Century and Contemporary Art at Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood (21% buyer’s premium) on December 3 in Exeter. It came from an east Devon collection and entered with a £2000-3000 guide. Lewis produced a number of rather austere pastel portraits of sitters painted against plain backgrounds during the 1930s-40s, including many of his wife Gladys Anne Hoskins (1900-79).
Sold: £1600 Eight self-portraits of the Victorian watercolourist William Henry Hunt (17901864) are recorded in the artist’s catalogue raisonné. Just two were made in oils including this unrestored 6in (15cm) wide canvas of the artist aged around 60, which sold for four times its top guide at Mellors & Kirk on November 27.

(1923-2018), who had acquired it from the Ruskin Gallery in Stratford-upon-Avon. It was also inscribed To Eve, reputedly the British artist Eve Disher (1894-1991) who was linked with the Bloomsbury Group. Estimated at £2000-4000, it sold for £17,000. The London auction was led by a previously unseen charcoal horse study by Lucian Freud (1922-2011) which sold on bottom estimate to an anonymous phone buyer for £40,000. The money raised went towards the Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre where he had sketched the work.
Sold: £780 Eric Slater (1896-1963) produced more than 30 colour woodcuts between 1926 and the outbreak of the Second World War, many depicting scenes near his home in Seaford, East Sussex. This slightly faded 14 x 17in (36 x 43cm) woodcut, Rough Sea, tipped over top estimate at Reeman Dansie on November 19.
Sold: £1000 Four pencil and watercolour animal studies by Glasgow Boy Joseph Crawhall (1861-1913), specialist in such subjects, sold at Woolley & Wallis on December 11. This diminitive 3 x 4in (8 x 11cm) pencil sketch of a dog, Spring, with a label for Bourne Fine Art in Edinburgh was taken to four times the top estimate. 11 January 2020 | 19

Humming birds create a buzz
Gould’s ‘masterpiece’ is offered at auction in a rare complete set of 25 original parts by Ian McKay Bid just short of the high estimate to sell at £56,000 in a Dominic Winter (20% buyer’s premium) sale of November 6 was a rare complete set in 25 original parts of John Gould’s Monograph of the Trochilidae, or Family of Humming Birds of 1849-61. Reckoned by many his masterpiece, “...a feast of beauty and a source of wonder”, it includes among the 360 plates those in which the brilliant iridescence of the birds has been emphasised by the addition of gold leaf. The auction house could trace only two other sets in the original cloth-backed boards – one offered at Swann Galleries in 1980 that lacked four plates but sold for $30,000, and another that made $20,000 at Christie’s New York in 1981. The latter did include the 58 plates of the six supplementary parts of 1880-87 but was foxed, had loose or defective covers to some parts and other faults.

1 & 2. A set of Gould’s ...Humming Birds in the original 25 parts, sold for £56,000 at Dominic Winter. 3. ‘Nectarina Famosa’, a plate from the copy of Shelley’s Monograph of the Nectarinidae or Family of Sun-Birds sold by Forum for £6500. 4. ‘How to flee a Hearon’, a fullpage woodcut from the copy of Turberville’s Booke of Falconrie or Hawking sold in London with another volume for £11,000.
Ladwell lots The major ornithological content of the South Cerney sale, however, comprised another portion of the Ladwell collection of bird books. Highlights from this third slice included a rare, hand-coloured copy of the five-volume, 1906-11 first of Charles Stonham’s Birds of the British Islands. The author’s own set, which included the original manuscript and realised £15,000 at Sotheby’s in 2002, also had the original wrappers bound in and contained a limitation leaf stating that only 15 such copies were produced with Lilian Medland’s 318 plates all hand coloured. Auction records feature no other such copies – but here at last was a second. Bound in contemporary crushed morocco gilt by Hatchards, it realised £10,000. Sold for £3200 was an exceptional 1889 first of Howard Saunders’ Illustrated Manual of British Birds. Interleaved throughout, it had been extended to three volumes by the addition of details of sightings, numerous wood engravings, maps and one original ink sketch. This copy once belonged to Alfred Newton, a zoologist and author of an 1893-96 Dictionary of Birds. 22 | 11 January 2020

It is reckoned by many to be his masterpiece, ‘...a feast of beauty and a source of wonder’
A three-volume, “superior issue” first of Seth Lister Mosley’s History of British Birds, their Nests and Eggs..., the three volumes of 1881-92 containing 276 hand-coloured litho plates, sold at £9000 – a price only once bettered at auction for a work that had been originally intended to run to five volumes. Very local in its aim, a much later 1912-15 first of Mosley and Frederick Ormerod’s Account of the Birds of the Huddersfield District made a record £4200. Available on subscription only, it appeared in 20 parts and was illustrated with 39 hand-coloured litho plates, or “crayon-watercolour plates” as they are described. Also including 20 maps showing the distribution of the birds, it was printed by the authors on a hand press.
Fliers at Forum
Above: goldfinches in a plate from Mosley’s History of British Birds, sold by Dominic Winter at £9000.
Avian highlights of a November 21 sale held by Forum Auctions (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) included a copy of Richard Bowdler Sharpe’s first publication, an 186871 ...Family of Kingfishers with its
120 coloured litho plates after JG Keulemans, at £6200, and Captain GE Shelley’s monograph on the ...Family of Sunbirds, at £6500. The latter, published in 1876-80, features 121 plates by Keulemans. A second avian section of this sale presented in some 40 lots the falconry collection of the late Charles Garton. Two of the more important early works on hawking and hunting, George Turberville’s Booke of Falconrie or Hawking and George Gascoigne’s The Noble Art of Venerie or Hunting, are nearly always found together. A volume that presented secondedition copies of both works from 1611 sold at £11,000. Bid to £3800 was copy containing both parts of Latham’s Falconry... of 1658, a work dedicated by its author, Simon Latham, to Sir Thomas Monson, Master Falconer to James I. Yet another highlight was an 1873 second, enlarged and “best edition” of FH Salvin’s Falconry in the British Isles containing three original watercolours by its illustrator, William Brodrick. It made £9000. n antiquestradegazette.com

Spartan artwork sparkles at £5700 As in its September auction, a double-page Frank Bellamy artwork featuring ‘Heros the Spartan’ proved a star turn in the Comic Book Auctions (19% buyer’s premium) online auction on thesaleroom.com that ended on November 24. Produced for a 1962 issue of the Eagle comic, it sold at £5700. Previewed in ATG No 2447, an artwork

for a 1959 Eagle front cover featuring Frank Hampson’s famous creation, Dan Dare, made £920. It was sold to benefit the ‘Home from Home’ charity, which cares for homeless children in South Africa. A signed watercolour artwork by Norman Pett for the May 1937, Coronation Day issue of the Daily Mirror was yet another item from the Bob Monkhouse archive that has provided so many fine lots in these sales. It realised £1240. Jane, in her trademark state of undress at left in the illustration above, dresses up as a guardsman to get a close view of the royal procession. Two early Beano comics, examples of the sixth and seventh issues of 1938 – only a handful of which are known to exist, said CBA – sold at £1850 apiece. Star turn on the front cover of the very first issues, and resident there for many years until replaced by Biffo the Bear, was an ostrich, Bigg Eggo, created by Reg Carter. Eric Robert Parker was a prolific British illustrator but best known for producing the covers of the Sexton Blake Library, which he did for over 30 years. Sold for £440 was his artwork for The Crimes at Fenton Towers, No 243 in the series and dating from 1951. Parker has signed his work by using his initials and the publication date as the car’s number plate.
Warfare manual given to a prince A superb copy of Henry Hexham’s Principles of the Art Militarie of 1637 was last seen at Sotheby’s in April 1919, as part of the library of the Earl of Chesterfield. Just a few weeks later London dealer Pickering & Chatto sold it on to Lord Cottesloe for £110, adding a five guinea charge for repairs and its enclosure in a folding box. One hundred years on, Sotheby’s (25/20/13.9% buyer’s premium) was looking for around £20,000-30,000 when it offered Principles... as part of the military library formed by Thomas Fremantle, 3rd Lord Cottesloe, but instead recorded a bid of £85,000. The work’s many engraved illustrations are all fully coloured and one of them, giving instructions in the antiquestradegazette.com

The Monthly Interiors auction at Peter Wilson in Nantwich on January 16 includes two fine-quality Meiji period ivory shibayama folding table screens. Each measuring around 12in (30cm) across, these have been consigned from a Lancashire collection formed by the vendor’s father in the 1940s. Pictured here is a screen worked to a gold lacquer ground with typical scenes of birds among blossom branches. The carved ivory borders are mounted with white metal hinges and escutcheons. Its companion in ivory is worked with a resplendent peacock and peahen above carved panels of writhing dragons in stylised clouds. They carry estimates of £1500-2500 each. The shibayama technique consists of inlaying mother-of-pearl, ivory, tortoiseshell and coral in high relief to create a contrast of colours, textures and a three-dimensional effect. peterwilson.co.uk

A collection of African tribal art will be offered by Anderson & Garland in Newcastle upon Tyne on January 24. The group forms part of a much larger assemblage, the bulk of which was sold in Paris by a Belgian collector who was posted to the Congo in the 1950s through to the mid-1960s. This tranche, in storage for years in an outhouse, belonged to a family member who had got as far as taking it to a car boot fair for sale. Deluged by requests for prices, he was advised by a friend to put the pieces back into the car, return home and then seek the advice of an auction house. Among the financial highlights of the collection is this 4ft (1.31m) red, white, blue and black Kifwebe shield from the Songye people of Democratic Republic of the Congo. Estimate £5000-10,000. andersonandgarland.com

Dealers’ Diary
Mayfair event drums up trade
Table with striking shape is one highlight of the first major London antiques fair of 2020 by Frances Allitt
2
Drum tables, such as a Regency example on offer from S&S Timms at the Mayfair Antiques & Fine Art Fair, were once known as ‘rent tables’. Landlords used them for keeping accounts and receiving payments, which could be placed in one of the drawers and spun round to the other party by the table’s rotating top: a more gentlemanly way of conducting transactions. The revolving top of S&S Timms’ mahogany example priced at £12,800 is set over four frieze drawers with bone-inlaid lettering – an unusual feature. These alternate with four false drawers. Drum tables remain popular, according to the dealership, because the striking shape is versatile, suiting the library as well as the living room.

1. S&S Timms offers this Regency period mahogany drum-type centre table, c.1830, for £12,800. 2. William & Aaron Lestourgeon’s 1770 silver ‘drum’ tea caddy is available for £7950 from Mary Cooke Antiques.
‘Boutique but a good mix’ Running from January 9-12 at the London Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square, the Mayfair event is the first major London antiques fair of the year. Forty exhibitors come to sell furniture, fine art, clocks, silver, ceramics and more. “Even though our event is boutique in size, we always work to ensure there is an eclectic and distinguished mix with many different disciplines for sale,” says organiser Ingrid Nilson of The Antiques Dealers Fair Limited. Another exhibitor is Mary Cooke Antiques, offering a George III tea caddy also named for its drum-like shape. Produced for a short period
3 during the early 1770s, drum-form tea caddies pre-dated the popular oval versions. The example in question was made in London by William & Aaron Lestourgeon, 1770. The body is engraved with an upper and lower band of foliate scrolls and flower heads and to the front is a shieldshaped coat of arms. Offered for £7950, it features its original key and lock mechanism.

3. The Antique Enamel Company brings this orange gold and enamel snuff box, Hanau, c.1785, which is available for £17,500.
Elsewhere at the event paintings and sculptures are available from dealerships such as Haynes Fine Art, Hickmet Fine Art and Paul Mayhew Fine Art. Burlington, a specialist in 19th and 20th century British and European paintings, offers Springtime by Herbert Davis Richter (1874-1955). Richter studied furniture design at Bath School of Art, turning to
painting later in his career. He was elected to various groups including the Pastel Society in 1916 where he later exhibited Springtime. The artist sold it in 1925 to a Mr Holdsworth for £50 – a reduction from £52. It is now available for £5950. Also reflecting changing prices over time is the oil on canvas HMS Queen Elizabeth leading other capital ships of the fleet ‘in line ahead’, brought to the Mayfair event by Rountree Tryon. Painted by Charles Edward Dixon (1872-1934), it depicts the name ship of the five Queen Elizabeth class battleships ordered in 1912-13. It was part of the East Mediterranean Squadron and the Grand Fleet during the First World War and was refitted when war broke out again in 1939. The picture is believed to have been exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1915. It sold at Christie’s in 1964 for 30 guineas (£31.30) and is now available for £16,500. Newcomers to the fair include Moonstruck Experience, bringing a collection of limited-edition perfume bottles from the Flacon Collection, and Robin Haydock, offering a c.1895 tiara necklace in 14ct rose gold with 494 diamonds. Returning exhibitor Wimpole Antiques also offers a range of jewellery, such as a diamond, amethyst, emerald and enamel ceremonial necklace for a price in the region of £10,000. It is thought to have been made by a London jeweller for the 1902 coronation of Edward VII and Alexandra, who is depicted in a portrait on the necklace. adfl.co.uk

that you have to sell it for slightly less, it’s worth doing!
3 What is one great discovery you’ve made? That if our industry is to survive and we are to encourage the younger generation to consider buying antiques, then we need to make shopping at our fairs an ‘experience’. We also need to move with the times and incorporate decorative items with our antiques when doing fairs to put on a show. In so doing, I believe lots more people would visit our fairs and, once there, would be intrigued by the wonderful cross-section the trade has to offer.

The web shop window Thousands of items are available to buy from dealers online. Here we pick out one that caught our eye this week. In 1592 Petrus Plancius, a Flemish Calvinist minister and cartographer, sponsored a covert mission to obtain confidential maps from Lisbon. It was part of a wider Dutch effort to break the Portuguese monopoly on the spice trade to the East Indies. A small band of men managed to acquire 24 manuscript charts by the Portuguese cartographer Bartolomeu Lasso, from which Plancius compiled his map of the Spice Islands. Though still imperfect – for example, Singapore is omitted completely – it was a significant improvement over previous printed maps of the area. As well as the Islands, Plancius depicted the various commodities that the islands offer such as cloves, nutmeg and sandalwood, as a key for Dutch investors. Altea Maps offers a rare English edition of the chart on its recently refurbished website. The map was

engraved by Richard Beckit for Linchoten’s Discours of Voyages into ye East & West Indies and published by John Wolfe in London, 1598. Wolfe was notorious for pirating the work of other publishers (particularly Latin grammars, Bibles and The Book of Common Prayer). He was banned from the Stationers’ Company until 1583, when he allegedly reformed following a raid on his premises. However, this map proves that he continued to copy the work of foreign publishers. It is offered for £65,000. alteagallery.com

Bidding for books way back in c.1700 A rare copy of the earliest-known depiction of a book auction emerged for sale in Gloucestershire on June 26.

Sold for 914 times top estimate: £5m ‘Botticelli’ stuns saleroom by Jonathan Franks and Alex Capon Spectators at an auction in Zürich were left f labbergasted when a Quattrocento panel painting with a SFr5000-7000 estimate catalogued as ‘in the style of Sandro Botticelli (c.1445-1510)’ was knocked down at SFr6.4m (£5.16m) after an intense 10-minute bidding battle.
The portrait of a young man, offered for sale at Schuler on June 28, had been in a Swiss private collection since 1924. A spokesman for the auction house told ATG: “Nobody could believe their eyes or ears at what was happening in the room.” Multiple international bidders – several in the room and 13 on the phone – were prepared to overlook extensive overpaint and what had been a highly critical conservation report. The 21 x 13in (53 x 34cm) panel

featured an old repair while analysis provided to the auction house by the Swiss Institute for Art Research in Zürich had found “extensive manipulations in principal parts of the portrait and the results of a post-1961 restoration, which fundamentally detract from the historic authenticity”. Although the report said that the underlying panel and painting were dateable to the late Middle Ages, the

Records tumble in sizzling summer sales by Roland Arkell & Laura Chesters The sale of a £200,000 Chinese vase in Suffolk completed a trio of house records across the regions that belied the usually quiet auction season. Over a 10-day period Special Auction Services in Berkshire, Aldridges of Bath and Felixstowe’s Diamond Mills all smashed their previous records. High drama descended on the small saleroom of Diamond Mills when it offered a Chinese vase with an estimate of just £100150 on July 31. The 11in (27cm) high vase on a hardwood stand came from a local gentleman and had previously belonged to an aunt who had spent many years in the Far East.

Asian art from Paris salerooms
Traditional December auctions produce seven-figure successes for bowl, box and screen by Anne Crane
© Mathias & Oger Blanchet/Drouot
Fifteen sales at the Drouot auction centre were given over wholly or partly to Asian Art for its December series, chalking up a premium-inclusive total of €12m. Top price here was for a rare Yongle period cinnabar lacquer circular box carved with camelia and other flowers and distinguished by the addition of a poem written by the Qianlong emperor to the interior of the lid. Offered at Mathias & Oger Blanchet (24% buyer’s premium) on December 9, the box was part of a group of six pieces that came with an old mid-19th century provenance to the collection of a French Colonel ‘PL’ who served in Saigon in the 1860s and visited China, shipping back from Canton several crates of objects acquired there in 1861. Correspondence between the colonel and his family makes reference to red lacquerwares which he notes are valuable and highly prized in China. Estimated at €150,000-200,000, enough interest in this piece emerged to take the final price to €1.6m (£1.37m).

£1 = €1.18 Every year Paris plays host to a December Asian art auction series with a raft of sales at the Drouot auction centre and at the independent rooms across the French capital. There were several seven-figure prices at the latest Asia week sales led by a €3.25m Yongzheng falangcai bowl (discussed on page 8), a Coromandel lacquer screen and an imperial cinnabar lacquer box. A number of six-figure results for metalwares, ceramics, lacquerwares and furniture also emerged, some of them unexpected other promoted beforehand as potential high-flyers. Pictured here are the Asian series top sellers and some of those other highlights. On page 36 we cover the hammer highlights from Asian sales in Germany and Austria. n

Vase and plaques impress This 20in (51cm) high baluster shaped porcelain vase, right, dated to the first half of the 19th century with a red Qianlong mark to the base, fetched €135,000 (£115,385) in Aguttes’ (25/23% buyer’s premium) December 9 Asian Art sale. The body of the vase is decorated in famille rose palette with the three dieties holding their respective emblems while the neck is decorated in falancai enamels and has two handles shaped as chilong. To the base is a red Qianlong mark. The sale also included a pair of enamel porcelain plaques measuring approximately 19 x 13in (48 x 33cm), above. One was decorated with an eagle perched on a branch by a cliff edge, the other with a dragon among clouds and both were in frames described as possibly zitan. Catalogued as in the style of Tang Ying, (the celebrated 18th century artist and superintendant of the Imperial kilns), they were estimated at €2000-3000 but ended up being pursued to €92,000 (£78,630) including premium. 32 | 11 January 2020

Buddhist bronzes This pair of parcel-gilt bronze Boddhisattvas above from the early Ming dynasty (14th-19th century) was the top-seller in Sotheby’s (25/20/13.9% buyer’s premium) December 10 Asian auction in Paris. The 15¾in (40cm) high statuettes come with a pair of gold lacquered wooden throne-like stands dating from the Qing dynasty. The duo may originally have formed part of a larger group of figures, such as the Eight Great Bodhisattvas. They are among the few surviving Buddhist figures cast in bronze made in the 14th century during the Yuan or very early Ming dynasty, a short period of transition in style and iconography in Chinese Buddhist sculpture. The figures sold just under the €500,000-700,000 estimate at €450,000 (£384,615). antiquestradegazette.com

Bell rings up big price and tray delivers
Screen makes a cover star The lot chosen by Christie’s (25/20/13.5% buyer’s premium) to decorate the catalogue cover for its December 12 Paris Asian art sale proved to be the best-seller. This 12-panel Coromandel lacquer screen from the Kangxi era measures 9ft 6in (2.9m) in height and 20ft 6in (6.25m) in width. One side of the screen is carved and decorated with an elaborate map-like scene of the coastal waters of China populated by small islands and sailing ships with a central view of Nan’ao island where people are celebrating a birthday. The screen was given as a present to general Zhou Hongsheng on the occasion of his 60th birthday in 1699 and the reverse of the screen is occupied with a lengthy and detailed inscription that includes a list of 22 people who offer their birthday congratulations. The screen comes from a French collection, acquired in 1967, and has been extensively exhibited including in 2004 in Versailles at the exhibition titled Kangxi Empereur de Chine 1662-1722 La Cité Interdite à Versailles. Estimated at €200,000-400,000, it sold for €1.75m (£1.49m).

Scholar’s workplace Much more demand than AuctionArt (27% buyer’s premium inc VAT) had expected came for this unusual carved rootwood scroll or scholar’s table, measuring 8ft 5in (2.57m) in width. Estimated at €4000-6000 in its December 10 dedicated Asian auction, it ended up selling for €100,000 (£85,470). A single rootwood armchair similarly outpaced modest expectations to sell for €67,000 (£57,265).
A highlight of the dedicated Asian sale at Tessier & Sarrou (28% buyer’s premium) on December 16 was an example of a bronze ritual bell or bianzhong from the Qing dynasty bearing an inscription with a date corresponding to 1716 (right). Such bells are created as part of a carillon of 16. Another piece with a desirable old provenance, the bell was brought back to France by Robert de Semallé (1849-1936). He had been sent to China to pacify the political tensions between France and China generated by the ‘Tonkin Affair’ and worked at the Beijing embassy from 1 880-84. The bell had been kept in his family ever since his return to France in 1884. Estimated at €200,000300,000, the bell ended up selling for €520,000 (£444,450). This sale included another rare piece of early lacquerware: a 7½in (17cm) diameter circular Yuan/early Ming dynasty tray (left) carved in the form of a lotus flowerhead with the artist Zhang Cheng’s scratch mark to the reverse. This was bid to €300,000 (£256,410), double the upper estimate.
Fu Baoshi belief Very much the highest price at the Tajan (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) Asian Art auction on December 9 was a large 21in x 2ft 7in (54 x 90cm) painting in ink and colours on paper of figures in a landscape. The auction house catalogued the work as “after Fu Baoshi”, the celebrated 20th century Chinese artist and as having an apocryphal signature, date and seals. It gave a very cautious €1000-1500 guide but the bidders felt differently about the attribution and took the price to no less than €616,600 (£527,010) including premium. Tajan said: “In the absence of an authoritative committee or rights holder on Fu Baoshi’s work, our expert was unable to guarantee that this painting was executed by him. The market decided otherwise and came out in favour of its authenticity.”
Asian art in LA: late Qing vase design This 12in (30cm) cong form vase with elephant-head handles is decorated in qianjiangcai enamels by Cheng Men (1833-1908) – one of the best known of the late Qing period porcelain painters. He typically worked using the pale gradations of black and coloured enamels in imitation of literati landscape painting, here depicting a bird and flowers on two sides, and a riverside landscape and an elderly scholar-recluse to the others. All four sides are inscribed to include the seals and signatures of the artist’s various sobriquets: Xueli, Songzhu and Liweng. One inscription also carries the wuyin year date for 1878, dating this to the fourth year of the young Guangxhu emperor when China was under the regency of Empress Dowager Cixi. antiquestradegazette.com
PAGE 032-33,36-37 2424.indd 2
Once largely ignored by the cognoscenti, artist-decorated wares from the late Qing and Republic periods are now among the most desirable of all Chinese porcelains. The qianjiangcai palette of enamels became necessary after the destruction of the Jingdezhen kilns following the Taiping rebellion in the 1850s. Estimated to sell for $5000-7000 at Bonhams in Los Angeles on December 17, this vase made $120,000 (£92,300) plus buyer’s premium. It represents a very substantial price. In 2015, the same saleroom offered what is perhaps the largest piece known by Cheng Men, a massive 2ft 2in (65cm) qianjiangcai ‘Hundred Deer’ vase with an inscription dated 1877. It sold at $55,000.

Buyers spoilt for choice as German auction houses hold their autumn Asian offerings by Jonathan Franks
1
£1 = €1.18 German auction houses traditionally hold their autumn sales of Asian art towards the end of the season and this year collectors and dealers were spoilt for choice. As many of the recent results demonstrated, market values are difficult to predict. Every auction had its major surprises, more often than not driven by the seemingly neverending financial reserves of collectors from China and other parts of Asia.

Six figures in Salzburg First stop was Salzburg, where for several years Stuttgart auction house Nagel (33% buyer’s premium) has held its important Asian auctions. In contrast to several previous sales, the extensive offer of December 5-6 produced no seven-figure results, but there was a good selection of sixfigure prices. Almost all the top lots went to mainland China, on occasion also to Taiwan. One of the exceptions was a 7in (18cm) gold figure of the Hindu deity Shiva, made around the 14th century in Indonesia. The 18-21ct figure, which weighed some 45oz, was in far from pristine condition, being partly corroded and lacking its feet. This did nothing to deter the numerous bidders who put up their hands. The hammer fell at €170,000 (£144,070), almost three times the lower guide. This time, the Chinese were outpaced by a buyer from Singapore. That price was matched by the result for a 14in (35cm) high bronze figure of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom and literature. The late Ming period figure had been acquired by the consignor in the 1970s and was expected to bring €20,000-30,000. The Beijing collector who finally sealed the deal had to bid €170,000 (£144,070). Passionate bidding greeted an illustrated book in ink and colour, depicting on 76 pages the Imperial Route from the Forbidden City to the Xiangshan Hunting Park. The finely detailed illustrations were executed in the 18th or 19th century and possibly intended as a handbook for the members of the court who were responsible for organising the emperor’s excursions. 36 | 11 January 2020

“
As many of the recent results demonstrated, market values are difficult to predict – every auction had its major surprises
With a guide of €1500-2500, Nagel was perhaps surprised by the ensuing demand and, after a multitude of exchanges, a Chinese collector secured his prize for €64,000 (£54,240). Another form of Chinese pictorial art were kesi, woven silk tapestries. A pair of large wood-framed 18th century weavings, each measuring 4ft 1in x 2ft 7in (1.24m x 78cm), showing aged scholars in wooded mountain landscapes, also attracted plenty of bidders. The result of €110,000 (£93,220) was 11 times the upper estimate. Equally sought-after was an 18th century jade carving of a vase resting on the back of a seated elephant. The 7in (18cm) high, finely carved work was in good condition and was part of a European collection that had been put together between 196090. The catalogue price was €4000-
5 6000, but more than a handful of Chinese bidders were prepared to go higher. It sold for €110,000 (£93,220), going to Taiwan. Among the many porcelain vessels on offer, one in particular had an interesting provenance. It was a 17th century imperial wucai vase, decorated in five colours with qilin in a landscape. The vase had belonged to the consignor’s family since the 1920s and, by repute, was part of the inventory of Charlottenburg Castle in Berlin in about 1835. The hammer price of €64,000 (£54,240) was over four times the lower guide. The bidders not only set their sights on historic porcelain. Collectors zoomed in on a rare piece of 20th century Republic period porcelain. It was a 15 x 10in (38 x 25cm) panel, painted with horses at a watering hole by Zhang Zhitang antiquestradegazette.com

1. A 7in (18cm) high gold figure of Shiva from Indonesia which was bid to €170,000 (£144,070) at Nagel. 2. Chinese Republic period porcelain plaque painted by Zhang Zhitang with horses at a watering hole. It sold for €40,000 (£33,900) at Nagel. 3. This yuhuchu vase with replacement neck was taken to €45,000 (£38,135) at Van Ham. 4. A view of a double page from the 76-page handbook illustrated in ink and colour with The Imperial Route from the Forbidden City to the Xianshan Hunting Park. The book sold for €64,000 (£54,240) at Nagel. 5. This early Zhou period gui was part of a collection of archaic Chinese ritual bronze vessels offered at Lempertz where it made €170,000 (£144,070). 6. The most expensive of a collection of 22 Japanese inro offered by Lempertz was this 19th century example decorated with fish which realised €5400 (£4575).
(1893-9171) in 1941, the 30th year of the Republic. Because of the political, military and economic upheaval of this period, very little porcelain was produced at the time. When a work by a desirable artist does come on the market, the bidders are highly motivated. So much so that the Chinese collector who eventually outbid his countrymen could only do so at €40,000 (£33,900), more than 25 times the moderate estimate.
Cologne vase shines On December 6, Van Ham (29% buyer’s premium) in Cologne presented its Asian art sale. Among the highlights was a 12in (31cm) pear-shaped, yuhuchu porcelain vase decorated with the dramatic depiction of a dragon in carmine red, set among a complex background of floral motifs, incorporating lotus, peonies, lilies and chrysanthemums. At some time, the neck had been antiquestradegazette.com

damaged and replaced with a wooden ring reflected in the moderate guide of €4000-6000. The in-house experts had been wary about dating the vase, but in the run-up to the sale, more than one voice suggested it was made during the Qianlong period (1736-95). These factors did not deter bidders who drove the price to €45,000 (£38,135), at which point a Chinese collector outpaced her international competitors. A collector from Monte Carlo had his work cut out when he tried to secure several modestly estimated woodblock prints, Qing dynasty, 17th or 18th century, from a private Rhenish collection. Determined competition from numerous bidders took the prices to an unexpected level. Two prints with depictions of deities, offered as one lot, were pushed from €1000 to €38,000 (£32,205). Two others, View of the Temple of Jinshan and The Poet Tang Yin meeting friends, were offered separately in two lots which also sold for €38,000 (£32,205) each, vastly more than the three-figure guides.

AUCTION Monday 20th & Tuesday 21st January
Going international International bidders also played a major part at Lempertz (24% buyer’s premium) in Cologne on December 6-7. Highly sought after were archaic Chinese ritual bronze vessels from the collection of Gerda and Gottfried Hertel. A 6in (15cm) high, two-handled gui food vessel from the early Zhou Period (12th-10th century BC), was the subject of fierce competition. It was estimated at an enticing €5000-7000 but only went to a Chinese-American dealer when bidding reached €170,000 (£144,070). He was the dominant bidder in this section and among other lots he also purchased a yan vessel from the Western Zhou Period for €70,000 (£59,320) and a zhi drinking vessel for €55,000 (£46,610) . While – in keeping with the international trend – Asian sales are generally dominated by Chinese works of art, Lempertz has not abandoned Japanese works of art, even though the returns are much lower. The highest price in the netsuke section was a top-estimate €6000 (£5085) for a late 19th century ivory skull with a snake and a frog.

Buyer's Premium:
A charge made by the auctioneer to the buyer as a percentage of the hammer price. This fee is usually subject to VAT. The hammer price and buyer's premium plus VAT on the premium. The buyer should establish the rate of buyer's premium and other add-on costs such as VAT and factor them into prices prior to bidding. Auctioneers may also charge fees such as a minimum lot fee. Lots consigned from outside the EU may also incur additional charges: look out for symbols denoting this in the cataloguing.
Payment:
Goods will be released only after arrangements for payment have been made. Check beforehand which forms of payment are accepted.
Internet bidding:
Online bidding allows you to follow an auction as it is happening via the internet and bid in real time against those in the room or on the telephone. To participate
in this way you need to register your details before the sale just as you would at the auction house. Typically, the lot being sold will be shown on screen with the level of bidding displayed alongside. For the internet bidder it is then simply a matter of clicking to register a bid.
Storage and insurance:
An auctioneer will usually make it clear how soon after a sale a lot must be collected and what the storage fees might be for any delay. Buyers who wish to collect purchases some time after the sale might consider taking out insurance for them while they are in storage. Failure to collect within the agreed deadline may lead to purchases being resold by the auctioneer.
Delivery:
If an auctioneer offers delivery, buyers will need to factor in the cost if they do not want to pick up purchases themselves. If an auctioneer does not offer a delivery service, they will usually be able to refer the buyer to service providers who operate in their area.
Artist’s Resale Right Advertisements in Antiques Trade Gazette may mention Artist’s Resale Right (ARR). Please refer to the information below for details. Living artists and the descendants of artists deceased within the last 70 years are entitled to receive a resale royalty each time their work is bought. The right applies only when the sale price reaches or exceeds the sterling equivalent of €1,000 and is calculated on a sliding scale. Please note ARR is calculated in euros. Auctioneers will apply current exchange rates. 4

Belfast event is just the first
Organisers of the new Northern Irish fair have already booked two more dates at hotel venue
The setting for the first Belfast Titanic Antiques and Fine Art Fair on December 8 couldn’t have been more propitious. It was held in the Titanic Hotel, arranged in one of the atmospheric Harland & Wolff drawing offices with their glass-domed ceilings where designs for that most famous ocean liner were created. With a unique view of the silver-bladed sides of the Titanic Museum behind the hotel, the omens were good for co-organisers Des Gallagher and Garth Arnold, neither of whom had previously organised an antiques fair. Post-fair their consensus view of the event and the afternoon auction was that feedback from exhibitors and visitors was excellent, which has encouraged the duo to book two initial dates for next year. Gallagher said: “We have now booked our two first fairs at the Titanic Hotel in 2020. The first is Sunday, March 15, which we will market as the Titanic St Patrick’s Day Fair and the second is on Sunday, May 17, when a cruise ship is docked nearby.” He added: “We are also condensing the number of jewellery stands at future fairs and adding antique Irish maps, antiquarian books, Irish textiles, antique Waterford Crystal and possibly militaria.”

Visitors browsing at the first Belfast Titanic Antiques and Fine Art Fair.
Right: Paul Millar, who deals online as Original Irish Art and who also has a gallery in Cork, had a well visited stand at the Belfast Titanic Antiques and Art Fair. He said: “I enjoyed the fair and thought it was well organised and well run. I would do it again and wouldn’t mind paying a little extra for my tables if the entrance fee was free. Lots of folk enjoyed seeing a wide range of Northern Ireland artist Con Campbell’s work in the flesh and we sold quite a few of his paintings.” Coloured Pony 2, pictured, a signed original oil-on-board by Campbell, one of whose specialities is animal studies, was priced at £225 unframed.
“
We have now booked our first two fairs at the Titanic Hotel in 2020
Among the visitors were enthusiastic buyers of antiques and art –particularly Irish art – Susan and Alan Logan from Belfast, who had keenly anticipated the new fair. Alan said: “We are very glad we made the effort on a blustery Sunday afternoon to visit the first of these events. We enjoyed browsing the many stalls and finally succumbed to
a small but striking Con Campbell painting of a seagull in flight.” Susan added: “We hope to see more of these fairs and as they develop and grow that we see an even greater variety of Irish antiques and artists.’’ Contact Des Gallagher on email des101@btinternet.com or call 07974 027596. n

B2B Events’ two-day antiques and vintage fairs at the Kent County Showground are a very accessible trade stop. The venue in Detling, near Maidstone, is handy for the Port of Dover terminal and buyers from France, Belgium and the Netherlands are regulars here, some of whom also take stands at the event. The first of the five annual events Above: kitchenalia stand at B2B Events’ here in 2020 is running this weekend on Kent County Showground fair. Saturday and Sunday, January 11-12. B2B’s director Helen Martin said: “Our inside bookings are holding up well for this fair and are the same as last year at 200. Outside stands – ‘weather watch’ bookings – come in at the last moment, but are usually around 50.” b2bevents.info

Life’s a simple beach for Boudin
MADAM – Having read the article ‘Job lots with specific draw’ on page 29 of ATG No 2422, I was a bit put out to read the description of the Clement Heaton-attributed tiles. It states they are transfer printed and painted tiles from a set of 16. The V&A collection says 16 but I know of at least 24 different ones. They are also only hand painted. No transfers are used on these tiles. Please see accompanying photos where the differences in detail
between the two hand-painted tiles of the same design is fairly obvious. A similar group of 12 tiles sold in Lyon & Turnbull’s dec arts sale in October for a hammer price of £4800 (see below). The bird and fish designs on the Gibbs and Moore tiles (on Minton blanks) are also hand painted

Boudin’s students, French landscap e painter Stanislas Lépine (1835-92 ), whose preferred subject througho ut his life was the river Seine. It too had provenance to Ricada and had passed through several salerooms and galleries in Paris and London before it was bought by the Leigh family. An almost identical version, bought in 1936 by the director of the National Gallery, Sir Kenneth Clark, hangs in Southampton City Art Gallery. Given the descriptive title Paris vu de la Butte Montmartre Côté Sud Avant la Construction du Square Willette, the 21in x 2ft 2in (53 x 66cm) oil on canvas sold to a buyer in Germany on the bottom estimate for £20,000 . Overall, take-up was high for the picture section at Gorringe’s, which contained around 120 paintings and mixed-media works from the 18th century to the present day, the majority valued below £3000.
Competitive bidding emerged for The Guests, a typical Pre-Raphaeliteesque watercolour by Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale (1871-1945), who is known for her vibrant jewellike book illustrations. The 16 x 10½in (41 x 27cm) watercolour was dated 1900 – two years before she became the first female member of the Institute of Painters in Oils – and came with an old label for Dowdeswell Galleries in London. It sold for £4400 (£400600 estimate). There was also a £2400 (£15002500 estimate) portrait reputedly of Abraham Charles Adye (1748-181 5), a barrister and Lieutenant Governo r of Grenada between 1811-12. It was catalogued as Circle of Sir Nathaniel Dance (1735-1811) and was consigne d by Adye family together with medals, portrait miniatures and eight 19th century watercolours by General Sir John Miller Adye (1819-1900), all of which found buyers. n

It’s Grimshaw down south Paintings by Leeds-born artist Louis H Grimshaw (1870-1943) are often overshado wed by his better-known father, John Atkinson Grimshaw (1863-93). This 11 x 18in (28 x 46cm) oil on canvas of two ladies at dusk in the garden of a large house – possibly the Grimshaw family home of Knostrop Hall – shows how closely his works resembled those of his father’s. Signed and dated 1898, some five years after his father’s death, the painting came from an east Kent estate and sold to a phone bidder from Worcestershire for £6200 against an estimate of £3000-4000 at Canterbur y Auction Galleries (20% buyer’s premium) on November 26.

Second ‘lost’ Marlborough gem sparkles in Cambridge An intaglio ring became the second of the ‘lost’ Marlborough jewels to surface at auction in 2019 when it sold for £36,000 (plus 22. 5% premium) in Cambridge. The Grand Tour-era gold ring with an earlier Roman intaglio of a clean-shaven man was sold at Cheffins on December 12 together with a copy of the hardback Christie’s catalogue from June 1899 of the sale of The Marlborough Gems, at which, according to family tradition, it was bought. The collection of about 800 engraved gems formed by the nobleman and politician George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough (1739-1817), was the largest and most important of the age. It resided at Blenheim Palace until it was sold by the

Following the Conservative Party winning a majority in the General Election on December 13, the UK is expected to end its EU membership on January 31. The UK government will then have until the end of the transition period on December 31 to negotiate a free-trade agreement with Brussels. The end to some of the Brexit uncertainty will help the art and antiques trade. Pent-up consignments from previously reticent vendors could now be released possibly leading to a bonanza for auction houses in 2020. Foreign dealers previously unwilling to exhibit at UK fairs may feel more willing to commit to new schedules in 2020 now that the fear of a no-deal Brexit has receded. In the longer term, however, the trade will face significant complications as a result of inevitable changes to import and export rules.
Timed auctions on the up The ‘online-only’ or ‘timed online’ auction is not exactly a new way of selling art and antiques. Ebay, founded by Pierre Omidyar in the autumn of 1995, turns 25 years old in 2020. However, the perception of the timed sale as the place for lowvalue collectables or unsold lots from ‘live’ sales is finally changing. The 12 | 28 December 2019 & 4 January 2020

year just ending was something of a breakthrough for this selling model in the UK. Expect more of the same over the coming 12 months. Results from 2019 for Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Bonhams tell a story: timed sales may represent only a small percentage of total business but they are now the firms’ biggest source of new customers. Accessible sales of collectable trainers, Supreme merch, wristwatches, ‘celebrity’ collections are all part of the quest to broaden the target audience. No wonder Bonhams intends to double the number of its online-only sales in 2020. Average online lot values and selling rates are rising and the horizon of what sells online is broadening. Books, prints, jewellery, Asian art and secondary Old Masters are now the norm. In 2019 Christie’s sold the Posner collection of Chinese and Japanese export silver in an online sale in the supposedly sleepy month of August; Texas auction house Heritage converted monthly interiors sales into onlineonly auctions in July and had sold
more than $1m in hammer total by November. The key to timed-sale success has turned out to be a healthy respect for the oldest auction principles. Lots must be market fresh, well photographed, described in detail and with realistic estimates. Some sales benefit from theming by category or represent a single-owner collection. All must be available for examination in person. While some specialist UK auction houses have made timed-online their exclusive way of selling – witness the success of Comic Book Auctions and its sales on thesaleroom.com, for example – a few of the UK’s biggest regional firms have also made online-only sales a core part of their business model. Fellows intends to raise the number of its online-only sales in 2020 by at least a quarter, holding 25 or more next year. Stephen Whittaker, managing director at Fellows, said: “All of the sales have had a very high sell-rate and they have been popular among our buyers, so I’m sure this is a trend which will continue in 2020.” Stephan Ludwig, Forum Auctions’ chief executive officer, affirms that the key to a successful timed auction is “no different to that of a traditional auction, namely presenting the correct combination of interesting material, competitive pricing and ensuring the lots are easily accessible to a broader ecommerce-savvy community of buyers.

MADAM – I have long admired John Atkinson Grimshaw for his beautiful paintings. My admiration is increased by the fact that, according to the dates given on page 22 of your 28 December issue [ATG No 2423], he was able to father his painter son Louis H Grimshaw at the age of seven.
3. No sale in 2019 was more successful than Sotheby’s March online dispersal of memorabilia from the estate of free market economist Friedrich von Hayek. Sotheby’s set a modern-day record for an onlineonly hammer price when his Nobel prize medal awarded in 1968 sold for £950,000. 4. This fine copy of the Dandy Comic No 2 (1937), one of only a few issues known to exist, sold via thesaleroom.com for £4550 by Comic Book Auctions on June 2.
“We treat the lots offered in our timed auction format no differently to those offered in our catalogued sales. We have found that our timed auction format is presently our most effective new buyer recruitment tool for younger shoppers.” He expects that the hammer total from timed auctions at Forum in 2020 will represent more than 25% or more of overall hammer, a rise of 8 percentage points year-on-year. Other major UK regional auction houses are set to embrace timed sales in the year ahead. The future is increasingly online.
Red tape challenge The European Union’s Fifth AntiMoney Laundering Directive is to come into effect in the UK on January 10, 2020 (see page 4). It inserts extra layers of administration in the purchasing of art and antiques at values of €10,000 or more. As the trade adjusts to the new regulation there will be concerns about how it will impact day-to-day processes. On the one side is the administrative burden. Companies must ensure they meet the requirements in the course of the new year, including putting in place an AML policy and risk assessment, establishing a record-keeping system, appointing an AML reporting officer Continued on page 14 antiquestradegazette.com
