THE VIEW / BWRW GOLWG
Welcome to the third and final 2020 edition
It has, of course, been a year that nobody will forget. We sincerely hope that all of you are in good health, that your families are safe and well and we hope too that if running a business, you are coping with the new challenges, and that each and every one of you is in reasonably good spirits. Ben Rogers-Jones It has also been a tough year for us as a company; our auction calendar was depleted this year, but much worse, we have lost long-term clients, many of which we regarded as friends. We shall miss them. Business-wise, we realise that other companies in other sectors have it far tougher. The message of ‘buying local’ and supporting independent businesses has never been more critical. Since the first lockdown announcement in March, there has been no bidding in the room at any of our auctions in either Colwyn Bay or Cardiff. We are aware that other auction houses have taken a different approach by allowing the public in the room. But we will be continuing as we have done, until we are clearly out of the woods. We do this in the interest of our team, and our clients.
REVIEW: The Market
REVIEW: Selections & Collections Auction (Super Saturday September 12th)
We continue without room-bidders secure in the knowledge that there has been no drop-off in market values. As mentioned in the last edition of The View, the response from the market has been ‘in the positive’. The traffic to our website has increased by nearly 35% since November 2019 while there has also been a phenomenal increase in registrations to bid online for our auctions. Much of the market has not just responded firmly but has risen in value.
The evidence for this upturn has been seen from our auction rostrum in the last nine months. In our last Selections & Collections auction on September 12th, we sold 88% of lots, which is the sort of solid strike-rate we are used to at Rogers Jones & Co. But some of the prices were staggering; a diamond and seed pearl choker made three and a half times its estimate at £3700, an amethyst and gold parure made over six times the estimate to £6800, a Rolex made around four times the estimate, while in the same section, and most surprising of all to us, an unattributed gold pocket-watch realised nearly twice its estimate – with a bidder in Russia battling it out on a one-to-one with a bidder in Japan.
It really is a great time to sell at auction, as nervous investors are seeing art, jewellery, and gold items as a haven for their funds. We are all being asked to ‘Stay at Home’, and while doing so we have been improving our homes - DIY sales have soared, according to retail analysers, ‘paint is in, while new stilettos are most definitely out’.
The successes in this auction were not limited to jewellery and watches. There was a buoyant trade across the auction with encouraging prices on ceramic items, paintings, and collectables, a 1950s classic jukebox proved a hit, while of course the Asian market continued to shine brightly, as it did so at the beginning of the year, last year and before.
The focus on our homelife has enhanced our appetite for acquiring items for the house - whether that be a painting, an antique lamp, a stylish vase, or dining table. The public are looking at alternative ways to spend money safely, their holidays have been postponed, the high streets have been empty. But behind this quiet chaos, auction houses around the world are still offering an exciting, and ever-changing stock to offer to the public, albeit from their online platforms only. Whether they be items to suit the collector, the enthusiast, or the creative homemaker, we are still valuing interesting items for clients, we are still cataloguing, photographing, and uploading these items behind closed doors.

REVIEW: The Norman Gale Collection & The Tribal Art Collection There were only 147 lots in September’s Selections & Collections auction but with nearly 500 bidders registered from 27 different countries. It is true that many bidders from the rugby playing nations of South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina, France, and Australia were waiting for The Norman Gale Collection to kick off. It was a privilege and honour to act on behalf of the family of the former Wales rugby captain. The swapped international match-worn rugby jerseys were hotly contested. The Springbok jersey was the highlight, worn by Gabriel Malan and realising £3600. We were delighted to see that Gabriel’s son David purchased the jersey online from the Northern Cape Province. David Malan still treasures Norman Gale’s Wales jersey from when he swapped with his father in 1964, and he was more than happy to contribute to an S4C programme ‘Agor y Clo’ in which the full-circle of the South Africa jersey was very professionally documented by Rondo Media’s team (you can watch the programme on ‘catch-up’).
Lot 97 BAMILEKE FEATHER ELEPHANT DANCE HEADDRESS Estimate £150-250 SOLD £500
The Selections & Collections auction closed with a fascinating collection of tribal art. We are very fortunate to have Philip Keith as our auctioneer and valuer who is one of the foremost experts on ethnographic antiques. Items from the collection were purchased by bidders across the globe and the collection in its entirety realised over £15000.

REVIEW: The Welsh Sale (Super Saturday September 12th) September 12th was the first occasion in our 28-year history where we held two auctions on the same day. It was coined as ‘Super Saturday’ in our online marketing campaign. I am relieved to say that the market for Welsh art and Welsh antiques was as thriving as it ever was, with 82% of lots finding a new home to a grand total of over £230000. Again, there were surprises aplenty; in the antique section, the 19th Century slate carving from Dyffryn Ogwen was the quarry for a handful of Welsh antique hunters. It was battled out to £2200 against an estimate of £400-600, while a carved Welsh bookstand also performed admirably, demonstrating that the market for good folk-art is in excellent form. The star of the porcelain was a wonderful Swansea tureen and stand which took £2200. It came in a reasonably common ‘Japan pattern’ but the rarely seen shape, and beautiful fresh condition, magnetised the collectors. In the print section, signed Sir Kyffin Williams prints flew out of the door, to buyers around the UK. And Wales’ favourite, Sir Kyffin performed well in the watercolours too,

Lot 9 A NINETEENTH CENTURY DYFFRYN OGWEN CARVED SLATE FIREPLACE ORNAMENTATION Estimate £400-600 SOLD £2200
with a landscape with cottages hitting top of the estimate. Then there was a perfect Will Evans farm scene which was a joy to handle. I loved this painting and was pleased to see it double the estimate for the vendor. Works by John Knapp-Fisher were also in hot demand with eight offered, and all eight selling within or over the estimate.
Lot 162 JOHN KNAPP-FISHER Estimate £1700-2200 SOLD £1800
Lot 214 SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS RA Estimate £2000-3000 SOLD £3000 3
The View / Bwrw Golwg • Rogers Jones & Co The oil section was jam-packed full of great examples of our regular Welsh artists. However, the surprise of the day in this section was for an artist we do not see enough of; Muriel Delahaye’s quirky and amusing narratives are just the tonic presently, and Lot 233 sailed away at £2300 against an estimate of £700-1000. The large Carey Morris portrait of a farmer’s wife was also an estimate demolisher. Morris’s work does not come to market often, but good examples are highly prized. This example had a lovely historic Welsh feel about it with the wooden Windsor chair and a decorated Welsh dresser in the background. A phone bidder and a commission bidder fought an extended battle, with the phone securing the painting at a final price of £8200 against an estimate of £3000-5000.
Lot 233 MURIEL DELAHAYE OIL Estimate £700-1000 SOLD £2300
Lot 284 CLAUDIA WILLIAMS OIL Estimate £2500-3500 SOLD £5000
Then there was a Claudia Williams painting of grape harvesters baking under the sun, which sold at an auction record for her work at £5000, it was hotly contested between two online bidders. John Elwyn is another artist who brings a lot of joy to the viewer with his golden memories of Cardiganshire. We had the privilege of selling nine of his oils, eight of them selling for a total of over £20000 with the star of the show ‘Farm Tapestry’ creating a needle match for two telephone bidders to the tune of £9000. Lot 277 JOHN ELWYN OIL Estimate £5000-8000 SOLD £9000
While lastly the indomitable Sir Kyffin Williams had a tremendous Lot 293 SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS RA day overall, with his three oil paintings in the auction finding new OIL Estimate £13000-18000 homes at £19500, £16500 and £15000. SOLD £16500
REVIEW: Other Auctions Since September’s Super Saturday Ten other auctions will have taken place before December 5th and since the last Super Saturday on September 12th. The Colwyn Bay auction room will have held six Vintage & Antique auctions which are held fortnightly on a Tuesday. These auctions cover all aspects from furniture, ceramics, pictures, jewellery, and collectables. The Cardiff auction room now holds two different auctions interspersed between the three times per year Welsh Sale auction and Selections & Collections auction. Interiors in Cardiff is a newly branded auction which has a curated feel, combining antique furniture with mid-Century designed furniture, good vintage pieces and furnishings for the homemaker or the interiors trade. These are presently every six weeks. Also, every six weeks in Cardiff is a Vintage & Antique Collectables which contains estate jewellery, watches, silver, coins, pictures, ceramics and all those small ‘non-furniture’ items we can think of. Highlights in the last quarter include a good old honest ‘barn-find’ 1963 Austin Mini selling for £8800 to a collector who could not

wait to get his hands dirty. A group of Star Wars figures realising £800 which was far, far away from the auction estimate. A 1964 Beatles concert programme at the Odeon in Liverpool made £800 with the successful telephone bidder determined to get it into his life. There was an 18th century glass goblet which despite some damage, shattered our estimate to £1400. A set of Royal Worcester fruit-decorated china made a healthy £1000 and a fine quality Gillows style library table was executed perfectly by our auctioneer, to £3300. And then there is Old Country Roses; the famous bone china tea and dinnerware pattern is blooming presently with recent purchasers for the auction stalwart coming from as far as Poland. Not a country that is famous for afternoon tea to my knowledge! In many of these auctions, we have seen a wide demand for jewellery which has been buoyed by high gold and gemstone prices. Our jewellery and watches specialist appraiser, Charles Hampshire, has undertaken specialist qualifications including the intensive diamond grading and identification course conducted by Gem-A in Hatton Garden.

Spotlight on Jewellery by Charles Hampshire With the season of giving and receiving upon us, after what has been an exceptionally difficult year for so many, our Christmas ‘Super Saturday’ double header of auctions has arrived to brighten the mood and offer some exquisite and unique items for your delectation. We are passionate about the concept of a circular economy rather than the linear economy that dominates our spending habits. Encouraging more people into the auction industry is an exciting challenge and one that has enormous societal and environmental benefits. The linear economy model of ‘take-make-dispose’ is one that is fast catching up with us as the finite natural resources required rapidly run out. Antiques, retro and vintage goods are ‘GREEN’, and the auction industry has therefore excellent sustainable credentials. Add to this the opportunity to purchase quality and beautiful items at a reduced price mean the benefits for the consumer are undeniable. This leads us nicely into the luxury sector of the auction industry which is one that offers great appeal and benefits to both buyers and sellers alike. With the retail market selling luxury goods at often eye-watering premiums, many have turned to auctions and the second-hand market as buying alternatives since the turn of the 21st century. This influx of new buyers has led to strong prices being achieved at auction for jewellery, high-end handbags and vintage luggage through to collectable fountain pens, lighters, and prestige watches. Whilst this increase in buyers has pushed prices up benefitting the seller, there is no doubt that purchasing at auction is still far more cost effective than purchasing new. Buyers can scour auctions looking for goods in impeccable condition with excellent provenance as many examples arriving for sale may have had just one previous owner. Over the last two years Rogers Jones Auctioneers & Valuers have embarked on regional valuation day tours spanning the length and breadth of Wales. With salerooms in the North and South, complemented by regional valuers in the West we are perfectly

When we think of diamonds we think of luxury, glitz and glamour. They may also conjure memories of loved ones wearing treasured engagement rings or dazzling cocktail watches. It is a pleasure to handle these objects of beauty but understanding them is key to valuing them. Developed by the Gemmological Institute of America in 1953, the four C’s is a system created to MCTEIGUE DIAMOND BROOCH define the characteristics Sold £1400 of a diamond and in doing so ascertain its value. This grading system is extremely helpful in the auctioneering and valuing field whether assigning estimates for sale or valuing diamond jewellery for insurance purposes. The four C’s comprise, Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat weight. Our valuers in the North and South have the hands-on experience and expertise to ensure the jewellery consigned to our various sales is thoroughly catalogued whatever the price point may be.

PREVIEW: The Welsh Sale on Super Saturday December 5th (Pages 24 to 108) We are enormously pleased with the variety for this forthcoming Welsh Sale particularly as it has been a quick turn-around since the last auction.
Welsh Antiques (Lots 1-14) As usual The Welsh Sale commences at 10am with a small section of characteristically Welsh antiques to accompany your tea and toast. Those of us who follow our Welsh Sales will know that we sell the iconic Prince of Wales Investiture chairs regularly, some of you will also be aware of how their value has risen sharply over the last few years. This increased value is not down to a resurgent interest in the monarchy, instead it is down to their striking aesthetic value. The chair is now regarded as an important example of mid-Century design. There are four examples in this Welsh Sale. The 1968 Investiture set at Caernarfon Castle, including the seating, was designed by Prince Charles’ late uncle Antony Armstrong-Jones, Earl of Snowdon with help from the stage designer Carl Toms (1927-99) and John Pound, the principal design officer with the Supplies Division of the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works. Made in vermillion-stained beech and plywood, embossed with the Prince of Wales motif in gold leaf and upholstered in Welsh tweed, some 4000 chairs were made by the Remploy factory in Bridgend. They were sold flat-packed after the ceremony for £12 each with invited guests given first refusal.
Welsh Ceramics (Lots 15-133) The second part of the auction is dominated by Welsh ceramics, this is thanks mainly to the instructions on behalf of a west Wales estate, but also from other sources over the border. There are fifty-five lots of porcelain from the kilns of Nantgarw and Swansea, while there are fifty-seven lots of antique Swansea pottery. I have in previous Welsh Sale catalogues focussed my introductions on the wonderful porcelain that was produced in Wales at the beginning of the 19th Century. Again, there are some superb examples of Nantgarw and Swansea porcelain in this Welsh Sale, which have been a joy to handle. The pick of the bunch being the first in line, Lot 15 which is of museum quality and rarity. The porcelain production only lasted from 1813-1826, but earthenware was made on a large scale in Swansea and the surrounds, for over 100 years. It was a successful story of Welsh ambition and endeavour that should not be forgotten.
LOT 15 in The Welsh Sale A FINE & VERY RARE NANTGARW PORCELAIN PLATE IN THE MEISSEN STYLE Estimate £3000-5000
LOT 19 in The Welsh Sale A NANTGARW PORCELAIN PLATE IN THE SEVRES STYLE Estimate £600-1000
The family-names which are often painted on to Welsh pottery is fascinating. Many such surnames as ‘Lukey’ and ‘Blee’ are of Cornish extraction, while Lot 88 is a wonderfully modest blue and white jug, emblazoned with the words ‘Unity’. One may be excused for thinking the word related to politics, but in fact it relates to pilchards not politics! And again, with a Cornish connection as they are Cornish-based pilchards to be precise. The reason for the common links to Cornwall is the high number of Cornish industrialists who settled in South Wales at the beginning of the industrial revolution.
LOT 5 in The Welsh Sale DOCUMENTARY MID19TH CENTURY WELSH MAHOGANY LONGCASE CLOCK BY JOHN JONES OF ABERYSTWYTH Estimate £400 - 600
LOT 8 in The Welsh Sale A RARE PAIR OF CARVED & PAINTED STORY-TELLING PADDLES BY VALE OF CLWYD TOYS Estimate £100-150
Lot 5 in this section is one of the most eye-catching Welsh longcase clocks I have seen at our salerooms. The vivid colours of the Aberystwyth clock dial have enormous wow factor. I am also very taken with Lot 8, the simply made pair of story-telling paddles featuring the Ladies of Llangollen, which have a fascinating social history relating to Trefnant, in Denbighshire. It is probably the ladies’ first outing to the market since they were handmade around a century ago.

LOT 125 in The Welsh Sale A SWANSEA CAMBRIAN PEARLWARE SHIP TRANSFER PLATE Estimate £100-150
There are also several documentary and political satire pottery items which provide an insight into how the Welsh public viewed local, national, and international affairs, including the temperance movement, the Crimea War and political reform. My personal choice from these would be the fascinating Lot 100, described as a ‘visual illusion mug’ with hidden images of George III, Caroline, Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. The cataloguing process for this section of The Welsh Sale has been a voyage of discovery and I have included ‘Auctioneer’s Notes’ with regards to many items of pottery. We hope you find these notes as interesting as I did when researching them. And in case you are new to the history of Swansea Pottery, I have included before the catalogue section, a chronological background to the century of production.
Prints & Multiples (Lots 140-181) There is a good selection of Welsh prints in the auction and Paul Peter Piech (1920-1996) makes a return visit with seven examples. One can rely on Piech’s artwork to convey positive messages of love, global cooperation, world peace, equality, LOT 165 in The Welsh Sale and fairness. As well PAUL PETER PIECH Estimate £300-500 as a serving of Welsh patriotism and love for the Welsh language. Although Piech was born in Brooklyn, New York to Ukrainian immigrants he came to Wales during the second world war, stayed here and as an example to many who settle in our wonderful land, he fully embraced Wales and Welsh to the full.
LOT 345 in The Welsh Sale DONALD MCINTYRE Estimate £3000-4000
Around lunchtime on Super Saturday we will be starting the watercolours. The offering is eclectic with good examples from many of our favourite artists. It will be interesting to see how Lot 254 performs as David Jones (1895-1974) is one of the twentieth LOT 254 in The Welsh Sale DAVID JONES century’s most (1895-1974) Estimate £7000-10000 influential artists in poetry and in paint. He was born and raised in London, the son of James Jones of Flintshire, and at an early age knew that he would devote his life to art. At the outbreak of World War I, Jones enlisted with the Royal Welch Fusiliers and served for three years on the Western Front and was involved in the battle of Mametz Wood. His experiences in the trenches took its toll and he suffered two severe nervous breakdowns later in life. His painting in watercolours was as much a therapy as it was a vocation. Lot 254 was discovered in an estate sale in the English-Welsh borders, but its prior history and the location of the scene is a mystery. We have no doubts that it is by David Jones’ hand, clearly seen in his distinct technique with trees, shrubs, and sky. The back of the picture offers more intrigue with a partial label which does not seem to match up with the picture. The painting has a lot of mystery which may act as a challenge to solve for prospective buyers, or perhaps only the ghosts of time can explain the picture fully.
Oils & Other Mediums (Lots 264-387) The afternoon session offers plenty of excitement with a host of quality oil paintings. John Elwyn (1916-1997) features again with a range of examples which show his versatility in capturing multiple subject matters. There are some stunning paintings by Wilf Roberts, one of Ynys Mon’s favourite artists, as well as terrific examples from the Welsh-Scottish colourist Donald McIntyre. My personal favourite in the oil section is Lot 348 which is an exquisite Gwilym Prichard; the colours in this painting of northern France are beautifully balanced. Also in Europe, there is Lot 371, an oil by Sir Kyffin Williams, the subject being a street in Belgium, it is accompanied by a poignant letter about his visit to Saint-Valerie-sur-Somme. The Continental street is juxtaposed with a young boy and a Welsh sheepdog, the artist himself as a lad we can assume.
LOT 348 in The Welsh Sale GWILYM PRICHARD Estimate £2500-3500
LOT 292 in The Welsh Sale WILF ROBERTS Estimate £1000-1500 7

PREVIEW: Selections & Collections on Super Saturday December 5th (Pages 109 to 133) Due to the quick turnaround since the last Selections & Collections auction, coupled with current challenges, we are just shy of a hundred lots in the Selections & Collections auction. It is therefore a smaller auction than we hoped for – however it does come with plenty of punch.
Jewellery, Coins, Watches & Luxury (Lots 401-439) In the UK, it will be ‘open a bottle of red’ by the time lot 401 comes up on Super Saturday. So, gentlemen, here is the time to get that special Christmas present all sorted out with a nice glass of Burgundy, while embracing the excitement of the auction from the comfort of home. There are Christmas presents aplenty with crisp diamond rings, spectacular necklaces, art deco brooches, watches and more. There are items for the gents too, including Rolex watches and a rare Timor WW2 ‘Dirty Dozen’ wristwatch. The ‘Dirty Dozen’ consisted of twelve Military issue wristwatches produced by some of the leading names in the industry at the time. Maybe this is the start of an obsession to collect all twelve, or perhaps the missing piece in your collection.
LOT 436 in Selections & Collections ART DECO OPAL & DIAMOND SET ENAMELLED BROOCH Estimate £400-600
Lot 435 in Selections & Collections PINK SAPPHIRE & DIAMOND PENDANT NECKLACE Estimate £400-600
Antiques & Fine Art from UK & Overseas (Lots 444-482) We are very excited about this part of Super Saturday and I am sure that our team will be busy with telephone bidding around this part of the day. This session includes a spectacular one owner collection of important 19th Century oil paintings (Lot 458-466). My personal favourites in the collection would be Lot 462 and 465. The first being by Franz Xaver Wolf (Austrian 1896-1990). It shows a gentleman seated within a library with a globe and charts, perhaps he is preparing to embark on some momentous journey across the globe, we can see the concentration and feel his apprehension. Lot 465 is by Talbot Hughes (1869-1942) and is entitled ‘A Difficult Declaration’ and shows a dismayed figure seated at a desk, on the floor beside him are abandoned attempts at a letter. Writer’s block perhaps? We have all been there! Lot 467 is a copper flowerpot by John Pearson (1885-1910). Pearson was a master craftsman of the Newlyn School, working mainly in copper. We sold a mirror by Pearson in May 2019 which realised
Lot 422 in Selections & Collections AN EXCELLENT ART DECO DIAMOND BROOCH, 4.3cts Estimate £1800-2500
Lot 432 in Selections & Collections VICTORIAN MARQUISE SHAPE DIAMOND & SAPPHIRE RING Estimate £500-700 Lot 420 in Selections & Collections TIMOR WWII MILITARY ISSUE DIRTY DOZEN WRISTWATCH Estimate £500-800
£3200. This pot is embossed with running stags and is signed and dated 1904. A lovely example of Arts and Crafts copper work, from early in Pearson’s career. Staying on the Arts & Crafts movement; Lot 477 is a cheval mirror by furniture maker, Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson, so called because of the signature mouse he would carve on to his furniture. The fame of the little carved mouse has meant that Thompson’s importance as a craftsman is sometimes forgotten. He was inspired by the splendid medieval carvings at Ripon Cathedral, and began experimenting with his own ideas for producing furniture in the British vernacular tradition. He disregarded the modern tools of the period but instead embraced the mortise and tenon joint and the ‘adze’ cutting tool for shaping and smoothing surfaces that gave his furniture the rippled appearance. Also in this session are rare ceramics from Royal Doulton, Beswick, Meissen and following on from the enormous success of the two Staffordshire rabbits we sold in September - a pair of very rare Staffordshire dogs, they’re called ‘Grace and Majesty’.
Lot 459 in Selections & Collections MAURICE BLUM (French 1832-1909) Estimate £2000-3000 8

Collectables & Memorabilia (Lots 483-491) This is when our Super Saturday reaches a grand finale, with the auction of two highly important rugby union jerseys from opposite ends of the globe. The time will be late afternoon in the UK and early morning in New Zealand, where I am sure there will be many blurry eyes watching the auction with anticipation on www.thesaleroom.com Lot 492 is a 1940s Wales jersey worn by our very own Billy Cleaver of Cardiff. While the next lot is an All Blacks jersey worn by one of the most important players from the middle part of the last century, Bob Scott MBE. Both jerseys have travelled to us directly from Ireland, from the family of legendary Irish international fly-half Jack Kyle OBE (1926-2014). Jack Kyle played in all six test-matches for the British Lions on their 1950 tour of New Zealand and Australia, he was regarded by many pundits as the player of the tour. He was capped 46 times by Ireland between 1946 and 1958, in what was a golden period for Irish rugby - winning the Grand Slam in
1948, the Triple Crown in 1949 and coming top of the championship in 1951. It was said that Jack Kyle was the mastermind behind Ireland’s successes during this period. He retired from rugby in 1963 and embarked on humanitarian work in Indonesia, and then later as consultant surgeon in Zambia. We are proud to have been selected as the auction house to act on behalf of the Kyle family, who will be watching from Ireland on www.the-saleroom.com and hoping that the two jerseys return to Wales and New Zealand respectively.
NEWS For all our clients in west Wales, we are very excited to announce that we will shortly be opening new premises in Carmarthen. The new premises are a tribute to Charles Hampshire, who joined us in 2018, and has overseen a steep increase in demand for our services in Swansea, The Gower, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. To find a new home in the region and enhance the auction experience for our growing number of west Wales clients, was a logical step forward for the business. Husband and wife, Charles and Morganna (Welsh speaking), will operate our valuation and consignment offices from the prestigious Old Vicarage near the centre of Carmarthen Town. Steeped in character, the Vicarage benefits from generous office space, ample parking, privacy, along with great accessibility from the A40 West and the A48 to Swansea. The facility will provide a safe and secure collection point for our west Wales buyers. There will be regular specialist valuation days from experts Ben Rogers Jones (Welsh Art, Ceramics & Antiques / Sporting Memorabilia) and Philip Keith (Asian Art & Ceramics/ Tribal Art) with Charles available by appointment each week valuing jewellery, watches, coins and all manner of antiques & collectables. From the beginning of January 2021, the offices will be open Monday to Thursday 10am – 4pm with house visits and professional work being carried out throughout Swansea, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, and Ceredigion regularly.
Our vision is that the Vicarage will act as a portal for consignments to our flagship tri-annual Welsh and Selections auctions, as well as our extremely popular Vintage & Antiques auctions and newly launched Interiors sales. We also have many other ideas for the space in 2021 which we will of course be sharing with you via our social media channels and through this very publication – The View. The opening of the Carmarthenshire venue follows on from the 2013 expansion, when the Cardiff saleroom was opened to complement the Colwyn Bay saleroom. Further details on an opening date are to follow, but for any west Wales enquiries please email charles.hampshire@rogersjones.co.uk

THE VIEW / BWRW GOLWG
Croeso i drydydd rhifyn BWRW GOLWG – yr olaf o 2020
Mae wedi bod yn flwyddyn wrth gwrs na fydd neb yn ei hanghofio. Rydym yn mawr obeithio bod pob un ohonoch yn iach, bod eich teuluoedd yn ddiogel ac yn iach a gobeithiwn hefyd, os ydych chi’n rhedeg busnes, eich bod yn ymdopi â’r heriau newydd, a bod pob un ohonoch mewn yn weddol dda eich ysbryd. Wrth gwrs, mae wedi bod yn flwyddyn anodd i ni fel cwmni; cafodd ein calendr arwerthiant ei gwtogi eleni, ond yn waeth o lawer, rydym wedi colli cleientiaid hirdymor, llawer ohonynt yn bobl roedden ni’n eu hystyried yn ffrindiau. Byddwn yn eu colli. O ran busnes, rydyn ni’n sylweddoli bod cwmnïau eraill mewn sectorau eraill yn ei chael hi’n llawer anoddach. Ni fu’r neges o ‘brynu yn lleol’ a chefnogi busnesau annibynnol erioed yn fwy hanfodol. Ers y cyhoeddiad am y cyfnod clo cyntaf ym mis Mawrth, ni fu unrhyw gynigion yn yr ystafell yn unrhyw un o’n harwerthiannau ym Mae Colwyn na Chaerdydd. Rydym yn ymwybodol bod tai arwerthu eraill wedi mynd ati mewn ffordd wahanol drwy Ben Rogers-Jones ganiatáu i’r cyhoedd fod yn yr ystafell. Ond byddwn yn parhau fel yr ydym wedi’i wneud, nes ein bod yn amlwg allan o berygl. Rydym yn gwneud hyn er budd ein tîm, a’n cleientiaid, ac i ddiogelu ein henw da fel busnes teuluol moesegol.
ADOLYGIAD: Y Farchnad Rydym yn parhau heb gynigwyr yn ein hystafelloedd yn sgil ein hyder o wybod na fu gostyngiad yng ngwerthoedd y farchnad. Fel y soniwyd yn rhifyn diwethaf Bwrw Golwg, mae’r ymateb gan y farchnad wedi bod ‘yn gadarnhaol’. Mae’r traffig i’n gwefan wedi cynyddu bron 35% ers mis Tachwedd 2019 tra bu cynnydd aruthrol hefyd mewn cofrestriadau i wneud cynigion ar-lein ar gyfer ein harwerthiannau. Mae llawer o’r farchnad nid yn unig wedi ymateb yn gadarn ond mae wedi cynyddu’n sydyn mewn gwerth. Mae’n amser gwych i werthu mewn arwerthiant, gan fod buddsoddwyr nerfus yn ystyried celf, gemwaith ac eitemau aur fel hafan ar gyfer eu harian. Mae gofyn i bob un ohonom ‘Aros Gartref’, ac wrth wneud hynny rydym wedi bod yn gwella ein cartrefi - mae gwerthiant DIY wedi codi, yn ôl dadansoddwyr manwerthu, ‘mae paent yn ffasiynol, ond yn sicr dydi stiletos ddim’. Mae’r ffocws ar ein bywyd yn y cartref wedi chwyddo ein hawydd i gael gafael ar eitemau ar gyfer y tŷ - boed hynny’n baentiad, hen lamp, fâs ffasiynol, neu fwrdd bwyta. Mae’r cyhoedd yn edrych ar ffyrdd eraill o wario arian yn ddiogel, mae eu gwyliau wedi’u gohirio, mae’r Stryd Fawr wedi bod yn wag. Ond y tu ôl i’r anhrefn tawel hwn, mae tai arwerthu ledled y byd yn dal i gynnig stoc gyffrous, sy’n newid yn barhaus i’r cyhoedd, er bod hynny o’u llwyfannau ar-lein yn unig. P’un a ydynt yn eitemau addas i’r casglwr, y prynwr brwdfrydig, neu’r gwneuthurwr cartref creadigol, rydym yn dal i brisio eitemau diddorol i gleientiaid, rydym yn dal i gatalogio, i dynnu lluniau ac uwchlwytho’r eitemau hyn y tu ôl i ddrysau caeedig. Mae’n amser da i werthu, a dweud y gwir tybed a fu amser gwell erioed i werthu? 10
ADOLYGIAD: Arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau (Dydd Sadwrn Mawr Medi 12fed) Gwelwyd y dystiolaeth ar gyfer y cynnydd hwn o’n harwerthiannau yn ystod y naw mis diwethaf. Yn ein harwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau diwethaf ar Fedi 12fed, gwerthwyd 88% o lotiau, sef y math o gyfradd gwerthu gadarn yr ydym wedi arfer â hi yn Rogers Jones & Co. Ond roedd rhai o’r prisiau’n syfrdanol; gwerthodd cadwen ddiemwnt a pherlau mân dair gwaith a hanner yr amcan bris am £3700, gwerthodd parure amethyst ac aur dros chwe gwaith yr amcan bris ar £6800, gwerthodd Rolex tua phedair gwaith yr amcan bris, ac yn yr un adran, ac yn fwyaf annisgwyl i ni, fe werthodd oriawr aur blaen, oedd heb ei phriodoli, am bron ddwywaith ei hamcan bris – gyda chynigydd yn Rwsia yn brwydro un i un yn erbyn cynigydd yn Siapan.

Nid oedd y llwyddiannau yn yr arwerthiant hwn wedi’u cyfyngu i emwaith ac oriorau. Roedd masnach fywiog ar draws yr arwerthiant gyda phrisiau calonogol ar eitemau seramig, paentiadau ac eitemau casglu, tra bod y farchnad Asiaidd, wrth gwrs, yn parhau i ddisgleirio’n lliwgar, fel y gwnaeth ar ddechrau’r flwyddyn, y llynedd a chyn hynny.

ADOLYGIAD: Casgliad Norman Gale Roedd 147 o lotiau yn arwerthiant Detholiadau a Chasgliadau mis Medi gyda bron i 500 o gynigwyr wedi’u cofrestru o 27 o wledydd gwahanol. Mae’n wir bod llawer o gynigwyr o genhedloedd chwarae rygbi De Affrica, Seland Newydd, yr Ariannin, Ffrainc ac Awstralia yn aros i Gasgliad Norman Gale gychwyn. Braint ac anrhydedd oedd gweithredu ar ran teulu cyn gapten rygbi Cymru. Roedd cystadleuaeth frwd am y crysau rygbi rhyngwladol wedi’u cyfnewid. Crys y Springbok oedd yr uchafbwynt, wedi’i wisgo gan Gabriel Malan ac yn cael ei werthu am £3600. Roeddem wrth ein bodd o weld mai mab Gabriel, David, a brynodd y crys ar-lein o Dalaith Northern Cape. Mae David Malan yn dal i drysori crys Cymru Norman Gale o’r adeg Lot 68 NORMAN GALE MATCH WORN WALES INTERNATIONAL RUGBY UNION JERSEY Amcangyfrif £700-1000 GWERTHWYD £900
pan fu iddo gyfnewid gyda’i dad yn 1964, ac roedd yn fwy na pharod i gyfrannu at raglen S4C ‘Agor y Clo’ lle cafodd hanes llawn y crys De Affrica ei ddogfennu’n broffesiynol iawn gan griw teledu Rondo Media (gallwch wylio’r rhaglen drwy ‘ddal i fyny’).
Lot 69 INTERNATIONAL SOUTH AFRICA RUGBY UNION JERSEY WORN BY GABRIEL FREDERICK ‘ABIE’ MALAN (1935-2014) Amcangyfrif £1000-1500 GWERTHWYD £3600
Daeth yr arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau i ben gyda chasgliad hynod ddiddorol o gelf llwythol. Rydym yn ffodus iawn i gael Philip Keith sy’n un o’r arbenigwyr mwyaf blaenllaw ar hynafolion ethnograffig fel ein harwerthwr a’n prisiwr. Prynwyd eitemau o’r casgliad gan gynigwyr ledled y byd a chyrhaeddodd y casgliad yn ei gyfanrwydd dros £15000.
ADOLYGIAD: Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig (Dydd Sadwrn Mawr Medi 12fed) Medi 12fed oedd y tro cyntaf yn ein hanes i ni gynnal dau arwerthiant ar yr un diwrnod. Rhoddwyd yr enw ‘Dydd Sadwrn Mawr/Super Saturday’ arno yn ein hymgyrch farchnata ar-lein. Mae’n rhyddhad i mi ddweud bod y farchnad ar gyfer celf Gymreig a hen bethau Cymreig mor ffyniannus ag erioed, gydag 82% o lotiau yn dod o hyd i gartref newydd i gyfanswm mawreddog o dros £230000. Unwaith eto, cafwyd sawl syrpreis; yn yr adran hen bethau, cerfiad llechen o’r 19eg Ganrif o Ddyffryn Ogwen oedd yr uchafbwynt i lond llaw o gasglwyr Cymreig. Cafwyd brwydr hyd at £2200 yn erbyn amcan bris o £400-600, sy’n dangos bod y farchnad ar gyfer celfyddyd werin dda yn gryf. Seren y porslen oedd dysgl a daliwr Abertawe a werthwyd am £2200. Roedd arno ‘batrwm Siapan’ gweddol gyffredin ond roedd ei siâp anghyffredin, a’i gyflwr arbennig o ffres, wedi cyfareddu’r casglwyr. Yn yr adran brintiedig, roedd argraffiadau Syr Kyffin Williams wedi’u llofnodi yn gwerthu’n andros o dda, i brynwyr ledled y DU. A pherfformiodd Syr Kyffin annwyl Cymru yn dda yn yr adran dyfrlliwiau hefyd, gyda llun o dirwedd gyda bythynnod yn cyrraedd pen uchaf yr amcan bris. Yna roedd golygfa fferm berffaith Will Evans a oedd yn bleser i ddelio ag ef. Roeddwn wrth fy modd gyda’r paentiad hwn ac roeddwn yn falch o’i weld yn dyblu’r amcan bris ar gyfer y gwerthwr. Roedd galw mawr am waith John Knapp-Fisher hefyd gydag wyth yn cael eu cynnig, a phob un o’r wyth yn gwerthu o fewn neu dros yr amcan bris.
Lot 162 Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig, Medi 12ed: JOHN KNAPP-FISHER Amcangyfrif £1700-2200 GWERTHWYD £1900 Roedd yr adran olew yn llawn enghreifftiau gwych o’n hartistiaid Cymreig rheolaidd. Fodd bynnag, syrpreis y diwrnod yn yr adran hon oedd gwaith artist nad ydym yn gweld digon ohono; mae naratifau ymholgar a difyr Muriel Delahaye yn donig ar hyn o bryd, a hwyliodd Lot 233 i ffwrdd am £2300 yn erbyn amcan bris o £700-1000.

The View / Bwrw Golwg • Rogers Jones & Co Fe wnaeth portread mawr Carey Morris o wraig ffermwr hefyd chwalu’r amcan bris. Nid yw gwaith Morris yn dod i’r farchnad yn aml, ond mae enghreifftiau da yn werthfawr iawn. Roedd gan yr enghraifft hon deimlad Cymreig hanesyddol hyfryd gyda chadair bren Windsor a dreser Gymreig addurnedig yn y cefndir. Ymladdodd cynigydd ffôn a chynigydd comisiwn frwydr hir, gyda’r prynwr dros y ffôn yn sicrhau’r paentiad am bris terfynol o £8200 yn erbyn amcan bris o £3000-5000.

Yna cafwyd paentiad Claudia Williams o gynaeafwyr grawnwin yn pobi o dan yr haul, a werthwyd am £5000 record arwerthiant am ei gwaith, roedd cystadleuaeth frwd rhwng dau gynigydd ar-lein. Mae John Elwyn yn artist arall sy’n dod â llawer o lawenydd i’r gwyliwr gyda’i atgofion euraid o Sir Aberteifi. Cawsom y fraint o werthu naw o’i baentiadau olew, wyth ohonynt yn gwerthu am gyfanswm o dros £20000 gyda’r seren ‘Farm Tapestry’ yn creu gornest bigog rhwng dau gynigydd ffôn hyd at £9000. A gyda Syr Kyffin Williams yn cael diwrnod aruthrol yn gyffredinol, fe ddaeth ei dri phaentiad olew yn yr arwerthiant o hyd i gartrefi newydd am £19500, £16500 a £15000.

ADOLYGIAD: Arwerthiannau eraill ers Dydd Sadwrn Mawr mis Medi Bydd deg arwerthiant arall wedi’u cynnal cyn Rhagfyr 5ed ac ers y Dydd Sadwrn Mawr diwethaf ar Fedi 12fed. Bydd ystafell arwerthu Bae Colwyn wedi cynnal chwe arwerthiant Vintage a Hen Bethau a gynhelir bob pythefnos ar ddydd Mawrth. Mae’r arwerthiannau hyn yn cwmpasu pob agwedd ar ddodrefn, serameg, lluniau, gemwaith, ac eitemau casglu. Erbyn hyn, mae ystafell arwerthu Caerdydd yn cynnal dau arwerthiant gwahanol rhwng yr arwerthiant Detholiadau a Chasgliadau a’r Arwerthiant Cymreig sy’n digwydd tair gwaith y flwyddyn.
Mae’r Dodrefn Mewnol yng Nghaerdydd yn arwerthiant newydd sydd â theimlad dethol, sy’n cyfuno hen ddodrefn â dodrefn wedi’u cynllunio o ganol y Ganrif, darnau vintage a llawer o ddodrefn i’r gwneuthurwr cartref neu’r fasnach ddodrefn mewnol. Mae’r rhain yn digwydd bob chwe wythnos ar hyn o bryd. Hefyd, bob chwe wythnos yng Nghaerdydd mae Casgliadau Vintage a Hen Bethau sy’n cynnwys gemwaith ystâd, oriorau, arian, darnau arian, lluniau, serameg a’r holl eitemau ‘nad ydynt yn ddodrefn’ bach hynny y gallwn feddwl amdanynt. Ymhlith yr uchafbwyntiau yn y chwarter diwethaf mae Austin Mini 1963, a ddarganfuwyd wedi’i storio mewn sied, yn gwerthu am £8800 i gasglwr oedd yn edrych ymlaen at dorchi’i lewys. Grŵp o ffigurau Star Wars yn gwireddu £800, pris a oedd ymhell i ffwrdd o’r amcan bris ar gyfer yr arwerthiant. Gwnaeth rhaglen gyngerdd Beatles 1964 yn yr Odeon yn Lerpwl £800. Roedd gobled gwydr o’r 18fed ganrif a wnaeth £1400 er gwaethaf rhywfaint o ddifrod. Gwnaeth cyfres o gwpanau Royal Worcester £1000, a gwnaeth bwrdd llyfrgell Gillows o ansawdd £3300. Ac yna mae’r Old Country Roses....patrwm llestri te a chinio tsieni enwog sy’n ffynnu ar hyn o bryd, gyda phrynwyr diweddar yn dod o mor bell â Gwlad Pwyl. Nid gwlad sy’n enwog am de prynhawn hyd y gwn i! Mewn llawer o’r arwerthiannau hyn, rydym wedi gweld galw mawr am emwaith gyda phrisiau cynyddol oherwydd prisiau aur a gemau uchel. Mae ein prisiwr gemwaith ac oriorau arbenigol, Charles Hampshire, wedi ymgymryd â chymwysterau arbenigol gan gynnwys y cwrs graddio a nodi diemwnt dwys a gynhaliwyd gan Gem-A yng Ngardd Hatton.

Tynnu Sylw at Emwaith gan Charles Hampshire Gyda’r tymor i roi a derbyn bron yma, ar ôl yr hyn a fu’n flwyddyn eithriadol o anodd i gynifer, mae ein ‘Dydd Sadwrn Mawr’ Nadolig o ddau arwerthiant wedi cyrraedd i godi ein hysbryd a chynnig rhai eitemau cain ac unigryw ar gyfer eich mwynhad. Rydym yn angerddol am y cysyniad o economi lle rydym yn ail-ddefnyddio yn hytrach na’r arfer o wario a gwario. Mae annog mwy o bobl i mewn i’r diwydiant arwerthiannau yn her gyffrous ac yn un sydd â manteision cymdeithasol ac amgylcheddol enfawr. Mae’r model economi llinol o ‘gymryd-gwneud-gwaredu’ yn un sy’n dal i fyny gyda ni’n gyflym gan fod yr adnoddau naturiol prin sydd eu hangen yn rhedeg allan yn gyflym. Mae nwyddau vintage, retro a hen bethau yn ‘WYRDD’, ac felly mae gan y diwydiant arwerthiannau elfen gynaliadwy rhagorol. Ychwanegwch at hyn y cyfle i brynu eitemau o ansawdd ac eitemau hardd am bris is sy’n golygu na ellir gwadu’r manteision i’r defnyddiwr. Mae hyn yn ein harwain yn dda at sector moethus y diwydiant arwerthu sy’n un sy’n cynnig apêl a manteision mawr i brynwyr a gwerthwyr fel ei gilydd. Gyda’r farchnad manwerthu’n gwerthu nwyddau moethus am brisiau syfrdanol, mae llawer wedi troi at arwerthiannau a’r farchnad ail-law fel opsiynau prynu amgen ers troad yr 21ain ganrif. Mae’r mewnlifiad hwn o brynwyr newydd wedi arwain at gyrraedd prisiau cryf mewn arwerthiannau ar gyfer gemwaith, bagiau drud a chesys a cistiau vintage drwodd i ysgrifbinnau casgladwy, tanwyr, ac oriorau mawreddog. Er bod y cynnydd hwn mewn prynwyr wedi gwthio prisiau i fyny gan fod o fudd i’r gwerthwr, does dim amheuaeth bod prynu mewn arwerthiant yn dal yn llawer mwy cost-effeithiol na phrynu yn newydd. Gall prynwyr chwilota mewn arwerthiannau am nwyddau mewn cyflwr arbennig gyda tharddiad rhagorol gan, yn aml, dim ond un perchennog blaenorol mae nhw wedi’u cael. Dros y ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf mae Arwerthwyr a Phriswyr Rogers Jones wedi bod yn trefnu diwrnodau prisio rhanbarthol ar hyd a lled Cymru. Gydag ystafelloedd gwerthu yn y Gogledd a’r De,

Yn ystod y digwyddiadau poblogaidd hyn rydym bob amser yn cael gemwaith ac oriorau ac yn amlach na pheidio – diemwntau. Pan fyddwn yn meddwl am ddiemwntau rydyn ni’n meddwl am foethusrwydd a sglein. Gallant hefyd ddeffro atgofion o anwyliaid yn gwisgo modrwyau dyweddïo gwerthfawr neu oriorau coctel trawiadol.

Mae’r system raddio hon yn ddefnyddiol iawn yn y maes arwerthu a phrisio p’un a yw’n pennu amcangyfrifon ar gyfer gwerthu neu brisio gemwaith diemwnt at ddibenion yswiriant. Mae’r pedwar C yn cynnwys Lliw, Gloywder, Toriad a phwysau Carat. Mae gan ein priswyr yn y Gogledd a’r De y profiad a’r arbenigedd ymarferol i sicrhau bod y gemwaith a anfonir i’n harwerthiannau amrywiol yn cael eu catalogio’n drylwyr beth bynnag fo’r pris Gyda gwerth cerrig a metelau gwerthfawr ar hyn o bryd yn uchel iawn a gwerth miliynau o bunnoedd o emwaith yn casglu llwch gartref mewn droriau, mae’n amser delfrydol i ymchwilio i werth eich gemwaith.

RHAGOLWG: Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig ar Ddydd Sadwrn Mawr Rhagfyr 5ed (Tudalen 24 i 108) Rydym yn hynod falch o’r amrywiaeth ar gyfer yr Arwerthiant Cymreig hwn sydd i ddod, yn enwedig gan nad oes llawer o amser wedi bod ers ein harwerthiant diwethaf.
Hen Bethau Cymreig (Lots 1-14) Fel arfer mae’r Arwerthiant Cymreig yn dechrau am 10yb gydag adran fechan o hen bethau nodweddiadol Cymreig i gyd-fynd â’ch te a’ch tost. Bydd y rheini ohonom sy’n dilyn ein Harwerthiannau Cymreig yn gwybod ein bod yn gwerthu cadeiriau eiconig Arwisgiad Tywysog Cymru yn rheolaidd, bydd rhai ohonoch hefyd yn ymwybodol bod eu gwerth wedi codi’n sydyn dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf. Nid yw’r cynnydd yn eu gwerth o ganlyniad i gynnydd mewn diddordeb yn y frenhiniaeth, ond yn hytrach, oherwydd eu golwg trawiadol. Mae’r gadair bellach yn cael ei hystyried yn enghraifft bwysig o ddylunio canol y Ganrif. Mae pedair enghraifft yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig hwn. Cynlluniwyd yr holl set ar gyfer Arwisgiad 1968 yng Nghastell Caernarfon, gan gynnwys y seddau, gan gyn-ewythr Charles, Antony Armstrong-Jones, Iarll Eryri, gyda chymorth y dylunydd llwyfan Carl Toms (1927-99) a John Pound, y prif swyddog dylunio gydag Is-adran Cyflenwadau’r Weinyddiaeth Adeiladau a Gwaith Cyhoeddus. Wedi’i wneud o bren haenog a ffawydden a’i staenio â fermiliwn, mae’n cynnwys arwyddlun Tywysog Cymru mewn aur a’r clustog wedi’i orchuddio mewn brethyn Cymreig. Gwnaed tua 4000 o’r cadeiriau hyn gan ffatri Remploy ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr. Fe’u gwerthwyd ar ffurf pecynfflat ar ôl y seremoni am £12 yr un gyda gwesteion a wahoddwyd yn cael y cynnig cyntaf. Lot 5 yn yr adran hon yw un o’r clociau câs hir Cymreig mwyaf trawiadol yr wyf wedi’i weld yn ein hystafelloedd gwerthu. Mae’r lliwiau byw ar ddeial y cloc o Aberystwyth yn drawiadol iawn. Rwyf hefyd yn fodlon iawn gyda Lot 8, y pâr syml o rwyfau adrodd stori sy’n cynnwys Merched Llangollen, ac sydd â hanes cymdeithasol diddorol iawn yn ymwneud â Threfnant, yn sir Ddinbych. Mae’n debyg mai dyma’r tro cyntaf i’r eitem ddod ar y farchnad ers iddynt gael eu gwneud â llaw tua chanrif yn ôl.

Fe gafodd porslen ei gynhyrchu rhwng 1813-1826 yn unig, ond gwnaed llestri pridd ar raddfa fawr yn Abertawe a’r cyffiniau, am dros 100 mlynedd. Yr oedd yn stori lwyddiannus am uchelgais ac ymdrech Gymreig na ddylid ei hanghofio. Mae’r enwau teuluol sy’n aml yn cael eu paentio ar grochenwaith Cymreig yn ddiddorol iawn. Mae llawer o gyfenwau o’r fath fel ‘Lukey’ a ‘Blee’ o dras Gernywaidd, tra bod Lot 88 yn jwg glas a gwyn di-nôd, gyda’r geiriau ‘Unity’ arno. Gellir esgusodi rhywun am feddwl bod y gair yn ymwneud â gwleidyddiaeth, ond mewn gwirionedd, mae’n ymwneud â physgod penwaig nid gwleidyddiaeth! Ac eto, mae ‘na gysylltiad Cernywaidd gan eu bod yn benwaig sydd wedi’u lleoli yng Nghernyw, i fod yn fanwl gywir. Y rheswm dros y cysylltiadau cyffredin â Chernyw yw’r nifer uchel o ddiwydianwyr Cernyweg a setlodd yn Ne Cymru ar ddechrau’r chwyldro diwydiannol. Mae yna hefyd nifer o grochenwaith ddogfennol a gwleidyddol ddychanol sy’n rhoi cipolwg ar sut yr oedd y cyhoedd yng Nghymru yn ystyried materion lleol, cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol, gan gynnwys y mudiad dirwest, Rhyfel y Crimea a diwygio gwleidyddol. Fy newis personol o’r rhain fyddai Lot 100 - sy’n cael ei ddisgrifio fel ‘mwg twyll llygaid’ gyda delweddau cudd o George III, Caroline, Louis XVI a Marie-Antoinette.
Serameg Cymru (Lots 15-133) Serameg Cymru sy’n cael sylw’n bennaf yn ail ran yr arwerthiant, diolch yn bennaf i’r eitemau o ystâd yng Ngorllewin Cymru, ond hefyd o ffynonellau eraill dros y ffin. Mae pum deg pump o lotiau o borslen o odynau Nantgarw ac Abertawe, tra bod pum deg saith lot o hen grochenwaith Abertawe. Yn fy nghyflwyniadau mewn catalogau blaenorol o’r Arwerthiant Cymreig, rwyf wedi canolbwyntio ar y porslen hyfryd a gynhyrchwyd yng Nghymru ar ddechrau’r 19eg Ganrif. Unwaith eto, mae yna enghreifftiau gwych o borslen Nantgarw ac Abertawe yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig hwn, sydd wedi bod yn bleser i’w drin. Yr uchafbwynt i mi yw’r cyntaf o’r lotiau, rhif 15, sydd o safon y gwelid mewn amgueddfa. 14
Lot 80 Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig: A SWANSEA CAMBRIAN POTTERY TRANSFER JUG IN THE SWISS VILLA PATTERN with dedication to CATHARINE PEARCE St. AGNESS 1933 Amcangyfrif £200-400
Rogers Jones & Co • The View / Bwrw Golwg Mae’r broses gatalogio ar gyfer yr adran hon o’r Gwerthiant Cymreig wedi bod yn daith o ddarganfyddiadau ac rwyf wedi cynnwys ‘Nodiadau Arwerthwr’ i gyd-fynd â llawer o’r eitemau crochenwaith. Gobeithiwn y bydd y nodiadau hyn mor ddiddorol i chi ag yr oedden nhw i mi pan oeddwn i’n ymchwilio iddyn nhw. A rhag ofn eich bod yn newydd i hanes Crochenwaith Abertawe, rwyf wedi cynnwys cefndir cronolegol i’r ganrif gynhyrchu, cyn yr adran gatalog.
lleoliad yr olygfa yn ddirgelwch. Nid oes gennym unrhyw amheuon mai ôl llaw David Jones sydd ar hwn; mae’i dechneg ddigamsyniol gyda choed, llwyni ac awyr yn amlwg. Mae cefn y llun yn codi mwy o chwilfrydedd gyda label rhannol sydd ddim yn ymddangos ei fod yn cyd-fynd â’r llun. Mae llawer o ddirgelwch i’r darlun a all fod yn her i’r darpar brynwyr ei ddatrys, neu efallai mai dim ond ysbrydion amser all esbonio’r darlun yn llawn.

Paentiadau Olew a Chyfryngau Eraill (Lots 264-387)
Printiau ac Eitemau Lluosog (Lots 140-181) Mae detholiad da o brintiau Cymreig yn yr arwerthiant ac mae Paul Peter Piech (1920-1996) yn dychwelyd gyda saith enghraifft. Gallwch ddibynnu ar waith celf Piech i gyfleu negeseuon cadarnhaol o gariad, cydweithio byd-eang, heddwch byd, cydraddoldeb a thegwch. Yn ogystal â gwladgarwch Cymreig a chariad tuag at yr iaith Gymraeg. Er i Piech gael ei eni yn Brooklyn, Efrog Newydd i fewnfudwyr o’r Wcrain, daeth i Gymru yn ystod yr ail ryfel byd, arhosodd yma a chymryd Cymru a’r Gymraeg i’w galon.
Lot 258 Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig: JOHN KNAPP FISHER Amcangyfrif £400-600
Mae sesiwn y prynhawn yn cynnig digon o gyffro gyda llu o baentiadau olew o safon. Mae John Elwyn (1916-1997) yn ymddangos eto gydag amrywiaeth o enghreifftiau sy’n brawf o’i ddawn i fedru dal sawl golygfa o dirluniau i bobl. Mae rhai paentiadau syfrdanol gan Wilf Roberts, un o hoff artistiaid Ynys Môn, yn ogystal ag enghreifftiau gwych gan y lliwiwr Cymreig-Albanaidd, Donald McIntyre. Fy ffefryn personol yn yr adran olew yw Lot 348 sy’n ddarn cain gan Gwilym Prichard; mae’r lliwiau yn y paentiad hwn o ogledd Ffrainc yn hyfryd o gytbwys. Hefyd yn Ewrop, mae Lot 371, paentiad olew gan Syr Kyffin Williams, y pwnc yw stryd yng Ngwlad Belg, mae llythyr ingol yn cyd-fynd ag ef am ei ymweliad â Saint-Valerie-sur-Somme. Mae’r stryd gyfandirol yn cael ei chyfosod â bachgen ifanc a chi defaid Cymreig, yr artist ei hun fel bachgen ifanc, gallwn dybio.
Lot 180 Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig: PAUL PETER PIECH LINOCUT POSTER Amcangyfrif £300-400
Gwaith ar Bapur (Lots 188-259) Tua amser cinio ar y dydd Sadwrn Mawr, byddwn yn dechrau’r adran ddyfrlliwiau. Mae’r arlwy’n eclectig gydag enghreifftiau da gan lawer o’n hoff ddarlunwyr. Bydd yn ddiddorol gweld sut mae Lot 254 yn perfformio gan bod David Jones (1895-1974) yn un o artistiaid mwyaf dylanwadol yr ugeinfed ganrif mewn barddoniaeth ac mewn paent. Cafodd ei eni a’i fagu yn Llundain, yn fab i James Jones o Sir y Fflint, ac yn ifanc iawn roedd yn gwybod y byddai’n ymroi i gelfyddyd. Yn ystod y Rhyfel Byd Cyntaf, bu Jones yn rhan o’r Ffiwsilwyr Brenhinol Cymreig a gwasanaethodd am dair blynedd ar y Ffrynt Gorllewinol ac roedd yn rhan o frwydr Coed Mametz. Gwnaeth ei brofiadau yn y ffosydd ddifrod mawr i’w iechyd a dioddefodd ddwy chwalfa nerfol difrifol yn ddiweddarach mewn bywyd. Roedd ei baentiadau dyfrlliwiau yn gymaint o therapi ag yr oedd yn alwedigaeth. Darganfuwyd Lot 254 mewn arwerthiant ystâd ar y gororau rhwng Cymru a Lloegr, ond mae ei hanes blaenorol a

RHAGOLWG: Dewisiadau & Chasgliadau ar Ddydd Sadwrn Mawr Rhagfyr 5ed (Tudalen 109 i 133) Oherwydd yr amser byr ers yr arwerthiant diwethaf o Ddetholiadau a Chasgliadau, ynghyd â’r heriau presennol, mae ganddom ni ychydig o dan gant o lotiau yn yr arwerthiant hon. Felly, mae’n arwerthiant llai nag yr oeddem wedi’i obeithio – fodd bynnag, mae ganddi ddigon i’w gynnig.
Gemwaith, Darnau Arian, Oriorau ac Eitemau Moethus (Lots 401-439) Yn y DU, bydd hi’n amser i ‘agor potel o goch’ erbyn i lot 401 gyrraedd ar y Dydd Sadwrn Mawr. Felly, boneddigion, dyma’r amser i sortio’r anrheg Nadolig arbennig hwnnw gyda gwydraid braf o Burgundy tra’n cofleidio cyffro’r arwerthiant o gysur eich cartref. Mae digon o anrhegion Nadolig posib gyda modrwyau diemwnt disglair, cadwyni trawiadol, broetshis, oriorau a mwy. Mae eitemau ar gyfer y dynion hefyd, gan gynnwys oriorau Rolex ac oriawr garddwrn ‘Dirty Dozen’ Timor WW2 prin. Roedd y ‘Dirty Dozen’ yn cynnwys deuddeg o oriorau garddwrn Milwrol a gynhyrchwyd gan rai o’r prif enwau yn y diwydiant ar y pryd. Efallai mai dyma fydd dechrau obsesiwn newydd i gasglu pob un o’r deuddeg, neu efallai’r darn coll yn eich casgliad.

Lot 462 Dewisiadau & Chasgliadau: FRANZ XAVER WOLF (Austrian, 1896-1990) Amcangyfrif £1500-2500
Mae Lot 465 gan Talbot Hughes (1869-1942) o’r enw ‘A Difficult Declaration’ yn dangos ffigwr siomedig yn eistedd wrth ddesg, ar y llawr wrth ei ymyl mae ei ymdrechion i ysgrifennu llythyr. Cael trafferth tybed? Rydym i gyd wedi bod yno!

Lot 409 Dewisiadau & Chasgliadau: 18CT GOLD EMERALD & DIAMOND CLUSTER RING Amcangyfrif £300-500 Lot 426 Dewisiadau & Chasgliadau: TAHITIAN SOUTH SEA PEARL NECKLACE Amcangyfrif £1800-2500
Pot blodau copr gan John Pearson (1885-1910) yw Lot 467. Roedd Pearson yn grefftwr medrus yn Ysgol Newlyn, gan weithio’n bennaf mewn copr. Gwerthwyd drych gennym gan Pearson ym mis Mai 2019 am £3200. Ar y pot hwn mae lluniau o geirw’n rhedeg ac mae wedi’i lofnodi a’i ddyddio i 1904. Enghraifft hyfryd o waith copr Celf a Chrefft, o ddechrau gyrfa Pearson.
Lot 418 Dewisiadau & Chasgliadau: LADIES YELLOW GOLD OPAL & DIAMOND CLUSTER BANGLE Amcangyfrif £600-100
Hen Bethau a Chelfyddyd Gain o’r DU a Thramor (Lots 444-482) Rydym yn gyffrous iawn am y rhan hon o’r Dydd Sadwrn Mawr ac rwy’n siŵr y bydd ein tîm yn brysur gyda chynigion dros y ffôn tua’r adeg yma o’r dydd. Mae’r sesiwn hon yn cynnwys casgliad ysblennydd gan un perchennog o baentiadau olew pwysig o’r 19eg Ganrif (Lot 458-466). Fy ffefrynnau personol yn y casgliad fyddai Lot 462 a 465. Mae’r cyntaf gan Franz Xaver Wolf (Awstria 1896-1990). Mae’n dangos gŵr bonheddig yn eistedd mewn llyfrgell gyda glôb a siartiau, efallai ei fod yn paratoi i gychwyn ar daith bwysig ar draws y byd, gallwn weld y canolbwyntio ar ei wyneb a theimlo ei bryder. 16
Gan aros gyda’r mudiad Celf a Chrefft; mae Lot 477 yn ddrych cheval gan y gwneuthurwr dodrefn, Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson, a alwyd felly oherwydd y llygoden y byddai’n ei gerfio ar ei ddodrefn. Mae enwogrwydd y llygoden fach wedi’i cherfio wedi golygu bod pwysigrwydd Thompson fel crefftwr weithiau’n cael ei anghofio. Fe’i hysbrydolwyd gan y cerfiadau canoloesol gwych yn Eglwys Gadeiriol Ripon, a dechreuodd arbrofi gyda’i syniadau ei hun ar gyfer cynhyrchu dodrefn yn y traddodiad cynhenid Prydeinig. Diystyrodd offer modern y cyfnod ond, yn hytrach, croesawodd yr uniad mortais a thyno a’r offer torri ‘neddyf’ ar gyfer siapio a llyfnhau arwynebau a roddodd yr ymddangosiad crychlyd i’w ddodrefn.
Lot 472 Dewisiadau & Chasgliadau: FINE WILLIAM IV BIRDS EYE MAPLE & PARCEL GILT GRECIAN HARP Amcangyfrif £2000-3000
Rogers Jones & Co • The View / Bwrw Golwg Hefyd yn y sesiwn hon mae serameg prin gan Royal Doulton, Beswick, Meissen ac, yn dilyn llwyddiant ysgubol y ddwy gwningen Swydd Stafford a werthwyd gennym ym mis Medi - pâr o gŵn Swydd Stafford prin iawn, o’r enw ‘Grace and Majesty’.
Eitemau i’w Casglu a Chofiadwy (Lots 483-491)
Lot 478 Dewisiadau & Chasgliadau: TAXIDERMY EDWARDIAN CASED PRESERVED TENCH Amcangyfrif £300-500
Crys Cymru o’r 1940au a gafodd ei gwisgo gan ein Billy Cleaver ni o Gaerdydd yw Lot 492. Y lot nesaf yw crys All Blacks wedi’i wisgo gan Bob Scott, un o’r chwaraewyr pwysicaf o ganol y ganrif ddiwethaf. Mae’r ddau grys wedi teithio atom ni’n uniongyrchol o Iwerddon, gan deulu y seren rhyngwladol, Jack Kyle OBE (1926-2104). Chwaraeodd Jack Kyle ym mhob un o’r chwe gêm brawf ar gyfer y Llewod Prydeinig ar eu taith o Seland Newydd ac Awstralia yn 1950, fe’i hystyriwyd gan lawer o sylwebwyr fel chwaraewr gorau’r daith. Enillodd 46 cap dros Iwerddon rhwng 1946 a 1958, yn yr hyn a oedd yn gyfnod euraid i rygbi Iwerddon - gan ennill y Gamp Lawn yn 1948, y Goron Driphlyg yn 1949 a dod i frig y bencampwriaeth yn 1951. Dywedwyd mai Jack Kyle oedd y meistr y tu ôl i lwyddiannau Iwerddon yn ystod y cyfnod hwn. Ymddeolodd o rygbi yn 1963 a dechreuodd ar waith dyngarol yn Indonesia, ac yna’n ddiweddarach fel llawfeddyg ymgynghorol yn Zambia.

Lot 469 Dewisiadau & Chasgliadau: RARE PAIR OF VICTORIAN STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERY SPANIELS ‘GRACE’ & ‘MAJESTY’ Amcangyfrif £700-1000
Dyma pryd mae ein Dydd Sadwrn Mawr yn cyrraedd rownd derfynol fawreddog, gydag arwerthiant dau grys rygbi hynod bwysig o ddau ben o’r byd. Bydd hi’n hwyr y prynhawn yn y DU a dechrau’r bore yn Seland Newydd, lle yr wyf yn siŵr y bydd nifer o lygaid niwlog yn gwylio’r arwerthiant yn llawn cyffro ar www.the-saleroom.com
Rydym yn falch o fod wedi cael ein dewis fel y cwmni arwerthu i weithredu ar ran teulu Kyle, a fydd yn gwylio o Iwerddon ar www.the-saleroom.com ac yn gobeithio y bydd y ddau grys yn dychwelyd i Gymru a Seland Newydd.
NEWYDDION Bydd ein cwsmeriaid yn y Gorllewin yn falch o glywed ein bod yn gyffrous iawn i gyhoeddi ein bod yn agor safle newydd yng Nghaerfyrddin yn fuan iawn. Mae’r swyddfa newydd yn dyst i waith Charles Hampshire a ymunodd â ni yn 2018, ac sydd wedi gweld cynnydd aruthrol mewn galw am ein gwasanaeth yn ardaloedd Abertawe, y Gŵyr, Sir Gâr a Sir Benfro. Roedd dod o hyd i gartref newydd yn y rhanbarth a gwella’r profiad prynu a gwerthu i’n cwsmeriaid yng ngorllewin Cymru, yn gam amlwg ymlaen i’r busnes. Y tîm gŵr a gwraig, Charles a Morganna (sy’n siarad Cymraeg) fydd yn rhedeg y swyddfa brisio a derbyn nwyddau yn yr Hen Ficerdy sy’n agos i ganol tref Caerfyrddin. Mae’r Ficerdy, sy’n llawn cymeriad, yn elwa o ofod swyddfa fawr, digon o le parcio, yn breifat ac sydd mewn safle da i unrhyw un sy’n teithio o’r A40 o’r Gorllewin neu ar yr A48 o Abertawe. Fe fydd y swyddfa yn cynnig lleoliad saff a diogel i gwsmeriaid y Gorllewin gasglu eu nwyddau. Fe fydd dyddiau prisio arbenigol gyda’r arbenigwyr Ben Rogers Jones (Celf Gymreig, Cerameg & Hen Bethau / Memorabilia Chwaraeon) a Philip Keith (Celf Asiaidd Cerameg / Celf Llwythol) gyda Charles ar gael drwy apwyntiad bob wythnos yn prisio gemwaith, oriorau, darnau arian a phob math o hen bethau. O ddechrau Ionawr 2021, fe fydd y swyddfa ar agor o ddydd Llun i ddydd Iau 10 y bore – 4 y pnawn gydag ymweliadau i gartrefi a gwaith profesiynol yn dal i ddigwydd yn gyson drwy Siroedd Abertawe, Caerfyrddin, Penfro a Cheredigion.
Ein gweledigaeth yw y bydd y Ficerdy yn derbyn eitemau ar gyfer ein harwerthiannau Cymreig a Dewisiadau sy’n digwydd dair gwaith y flwyddyn, yn ogystal â’n Arwerthiant Vintage a Hen Bethau a’n harwerthant Nwyddau Mewnol newydd. Mae gennym nifer o syniadau eraill ar gyfer y swyddfa yn 2021 ac fe fyddwn yn rhannu’r rhain gyda chi maes o law ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol a thrwy’r cyhoeddiad hwn – Bwrw Golwg. Mae agoriad y safle hwn yn Sir Gaerfyrddin yn dilyn ymlaen o’n ehangu yn 2013 pan agorwyd yr ystafell arwerthu yn Nghaerdydd i gyd-fynd gyda’r un ym Mae Colwyn. Manylion am ddyddiad agor i ddod, ond os oes gennych unrhyw ymholiad ar gyfer tîm y Gorllewin, cysylltwch gyda Charles Hampshire ar Charles.hampshire@rogersjones.co.uk os gwelwch yn dda.

The Welsh Sale • Rogers Jones & Co
A Potted History of Cambrian Pottery, Glamorgan Pottery & Ynysmeudwy Should you be interested in delving deeper into the fascinating subject of Swansea pottery production then a visit to The National Museum of Wales, Swansea Museum and The Glynn Vivian Art Gallery is essential. While there are also some excellent books by experts such as Helen Hallesy, Robert Pugh, Jonathan Gray, Michael Trew and the 1942 published ‘The Pottery and Porcelain of Swansea and Nantgarw’ by Ernest Morton Nance remains a monumental resource.
Cambrian / Dillwyn Pottery c.1767-1870 The history of Swansea pottery began in 1764, when William Coles of Neath was granted a lease on the site of the old copper works beside the River Tawe and on which High Street Station now stands. Coles was producing pottery by 1767. Around 1779 William Coles died leaving the pottery works to his three sons. Initially, the production concentrated principally on rough utility pottery for domestic use and farm utensils. But in addition, a small output of lead glazed earthenware and a creamware was produced which was simply decorated by scratching into the clay or with painted borders or floral designs in underglaze blue. These early decorated items were unmarked and are now rare. In around 1786 George Haynes joined the pottery in partnership with John Coles, William’s son. They traded under the name Coles & Haynes and expanded the pottery business, improving the production systems on the lines of Josiah Wedgwood’s. They named their pottery ‘Cambrian’. Coles and Haynes sought experienced skilled employees, including Thomas Rothwell, George Bentley and Thomas Pardoe. Rothwell was a reputable engraver who engraved the copper plates for the transfer decoration to be applied to the early Swansea earthenware. He was also said to be a fine enameller, but it is not certain which painted items were by his hand. Bentley was the skilful modeller who started at Cambrian in around 1791, working there until around 1798. Much of the ornate pottery from the period is attributed to Bentley. The prolific Thomas Pardoe is the most famous of the triplet. He was a professional ceramic painter of excellent ability and was in Swansea from around 1795 until he relocated to Bristol in around 1809. His work at Cambrian included flowers, birds, landscapes, and gilding. His output was impressive as he was such a fast worker. Before the 18th century was out, the factory was producing high quality creamware which was comparable to Wedgwood, as well as a range of other wares including green and yellow glazed earthenwares and black basalt. While transfer decoration also began in earnest, mainly in underglaze blue, but also in brown, manganese and black. In 1802, botanist William Dillwyn, who had been observing the progress at Cambrian, purchased the lease of the pottery from Haynes but Haynes stayed as partner. In the same year, Lord Nelson visited the factory. A year later, wildlife painter William Weston Young joined the company as a decorator but ended up producing very little pottery decoration as was preoccupied in executing drawings for Dillwyn’s ‘The British Confervae’.
44
In 1810 George Haynes’ partnership with Dillwyn expired and so Timothy Bevington the then manager and his son John became Hayne’s business partners. The company became known as Dillwyn & Co and this was marked into the pottery, firstly in a straight line and then a horseshoe. In 1814, William Billingsley and Samuel Walker came from Nantgarw to try to produce porcelain at the Dillwyn plant. Dillwyn retired in 1817 but retained ownership of the building, and the company changed its name once again, this time to T & J Bevington. This lasted until their lease expired in 1824 when it resumed as Dillwyn. In the same year, the factory moved away from porcelain to revert to pottery. Dillwyn remained the owner until 1831 by which time the variety, quality and quantity of the production had increased again and was equal to many of the Staffordshire concerns. In 1831, Lewis Llewelyn Dillwyn, William’s son joined the company and a high standard of transfer printing was maintained, although the hand-decorated wares became primitive. In 1850 the factory changed hands again, this time to Evans and Glasson but Mr Glasson died and so David Evans continued the business with his son who later took sole control. The products after Dillwyn were of poor quality and Cambrian pottery was closed in 1870 after over a century of production.
Glamorgan Pottery 1813 -1839 The Glamorgan is closely linked to Cambrian. In 1813 George Haynes, who had worked with Lewis Weston Dillwyn at Cambrian, was active at the pottery and many of the shapes and patterns are very similar to those of the Cambrian. As with Cambrian’s initial output, the production was mostly domestic items and are marked “B B & I”, the initials of the owners, Baker, Bevan and Irwin. The referred to the pottery-body as ‘Opaque China’ inferring that the pottery was of a fine quality, this term was part of their standard printed stamp. But rather than the quality of the pottery, the Glamorgan concern is more famous for its quality of transfer. The best known of which is probably the Ladies of Llangollen blue and white landscape scene. As the other business interests of the owners failed, the pottery business was offered for sale. It was purchased in 1837 by Lewis Llewelyn Dillwyn who was running the Cambrian Pottery and was son of Lewis Weston Dillwyn. In 1838 L.L. Dillwyn closed the Glamorgan Pottery. Copper plates for transfers and other equipment were purchased by William Chambers who established the South Wales Pottery at Llanelly in 1840. Many of the workers transferred to the new pottery.
Ynysmeudwy Pottery 1845-1875 Ynysmeudwy is located around 9 miles north of Swansea. The pottery company began as a brickwork by brothers Michael Martyn Williams and William Williams. They made a variety of wares including child’s plates for which they are most famous but also jugs, mocha mugs for the pubtrade, and basins. From 1860 to 1869 the factory was owned by the two proprietors of a local colliery, John Morgan and Griffiths Lewis. In 1871, they sold to W T Holland, it then reverted to making bricks, chimney pots and exterior utilities.

254 254 DAVID JONES (1895-1974) watercolour - view of an unknown rural building with a foreground of enclosed garden with a dividing path, shrubs and trees, circa 1920/1930s, with Zwemmer Gallery label ‘Orchard in Mallorca’, old pencil inscription ‘David Jones’ verso, perhaps not by the artist but by an owner, 37 x 48cms Provenance: painting newly discovered, purchased from an estate sale in the Welsh borders by the vendor, incomplete torn label verso Auctioneer’s Note: while being confident that the style and technique is that of David Jones, especially seen in the trees, shrubs and sky, we do not think that the title is correct on the label and have doubts as to whether the label relates to the picture or even the artist at all. The shared opinion, is that the building has the appearance of traditional barns found in the Welsh-English borders, rather than Mallorca in Spain. It has also been suggested that the building may be part of Piggots Farm, Buckinghamshire. There are similarities to Capel-y-Ffin monastery but this has been discounted by the present owner-occupiers. Certainly we have found no evidence of the artist ever visiting Spain. We believe that the label is for the Zwemmer Gallery, London as they used a sans serif typeface and their address was Litchfield Street Acknowledgements: we would like to thank Valerie Wynne Williams, Peter Lord, Peter Wakelin and William Gibbs of Brecknock Art Trust for their invaluable help with researching this unrecorded painting and with its attribution to David Jones Presentation & Condition: the painting was delivered to us in a circa 1920s / 1930s frame and glass, it was secured by old rusted tacks and had clearly not been out of the frame for a long time, we removed the painting from the frame for research purposes and the picture remains out of frame for examination by prospective viewers, frame and glass retained £7000-10000 81

Holmes’, 38 x 30cms (oval) Provenance: Pembrokeshire deceased estate Auctioneer’s Note: George Holmes mainly painted genre scenes depicting everyday rural life of farm labourers, cottage interiors etc. Still lives were not his mainstream, but we can compare this composition to a very similar work depicting a child smelling the scent of a vase of primroses and violets entitled with four line stanza: ‘But they who come mid frost and flood, Peeping from bank, or root of tree, The primrose and the violet-bud, They are the dearest flowers to me.’ This latter work, also painted in an oval format and similarly dated 1868, features a white porcelain vase with a near identical composition of flowers, and was sold at Christie’s South Kensington in 2002. Our work is unsigned on the canvas (he usually signs with initials) and may be a preliminary study for the Christie’s larger (45 x 56cms) work Presentation & Condition: framed in a period, but replacement, gilt composition frame with original slip, glazed.

484 A 1940s INTERNATIONAL WALES RUGBY UNION JERSEY MATCH-WORN BY BILLY CLEAVER (1921-2003) A 1940s INTERNATIONAL WALES RUGBY UNION JERSEY MATCHWORN BY BILLY CLEAVER (1921–2003) in traditional red with white collar, Prince of Wales feathers embroidered directly on to the jersey, with blue ribbon and ‘ICH DIEN’, bears label for D L Davies’ outlet ‘The Bon’, Swansea (faintly inscribed J W Kyle – please see provenance below), printed black ‘F’ to canvas panel stitched to back Auctioneer’s Note: William Benjamin Cleaver was born in Treorchy in 1921. He was known as Billy Cleaver and later by his nickname, ‘Billy Kick’. There is perhaps an unfair perception that the typical Welsh amateur era rugby-player was a man lacking in culture, that their strength and determination came from hard labouring jobs in the collieries and heavy industry. Such a theory was often disproven, especially in the years following the second world war. The famous Welsh backline quartet during that period consisted of Bleddyn Williams, a product of Rydal School, Doctor. Jack Matthews – a physician, Haydn Tanner who attended Harvard Business School and then Billy Cleaver. Cleaver was a graduate of Mining at Cardiff University, he was a wine connoisseur, a tenor and an art enthusiast who later became the Secretary of the Contemporary Art Society of Wales. Cleaver’s nickname ‘Billy Kick’ was a betrayal of his personality and his rugby play, which was as cultured as the man himself. He had a far greater depth to his game than simply kicking. Cleaver’s was a robust, reliable and charismatic individual. With his distinguishable mop of blonde hair, he is an unmistakable figure in the team photos from the period - even in black and white. Cliff Morgan in ‘Heart and Soul: The Character of Welsh Rugby’, described one such photograph from the 1950 British Lions tour : ‘Rex Willis, Jack Matthews, Bleddyn Williams, Billy Cleaver and Cliff Davies look like a complete team in themselves; they stand (all much the same size and height whatever their position) with the confidence of gentlemen, some with their hands in their pockets, Bleddyn holding the ball, not unlike a group of army officers who have just won a regimental tour in Penang’. Cleaver was not only cultured and a gentleman of distinction, but he was one of the great utility backs of the early post-war era. He was best known for his defensive play but he had great technical ability in attack, being able to seamlessly take a pass on the move without interrupting the rhythm of play, while then moving the ball on to his outside with elegance, invariably he would then spirit behind his centres to make himself available again in the move. If the ball was dropped or came loose, he regularly scooped the ball effortlessly from his toes before it was turned over to the opposition. As with many naturally gifted sportsmen, Cleaver was not inclined to train too hard. His playing colleagues were staggered that he could muster such emphatic performances in a match while having such a casual approach to the game. He won 14 caps for Wales between 1947 and 1950, winning nine matches and drawing two. His many achievements included the distinction of playing in three different positions against the 1947-48 Wallabies on their tour of Europe and finishing on the winning side each time.
128
He was also an intelligent and very effective pivot in Wales’ Grand Slam of 1950, their first after a thirty-nine-year barren spell. In the same year, he toured Australia and New Zealand with the British Lions, when he played in all three of the New Zealand tests at fullback. One of the old after-dinner stories from the 1950 British Lions tour was that the tourists stopped at Ceylon on their seapassage home, where they played a one-off match against the national team. Billy Cleaver, much to the amusement of the rest of the party, ended up running the line for the match where he was constantly heckled by the locals to give the score. Cleaver could excel anywhere in the backline, but fly-half is where he enjoyed playing the most. He spent six years at Cardiff RFC primarily as a fly-half, between 1945 and 1951, making 150 appearances. During the Second World War years he firstly played with Billy Darch as his half-back partner for Cardiff, who was replaced when Haydn Tanner joined the club, and they teamed up in one of the most famous halfback partnerships in rugby history. The 1947/48 season was particularly special at Cardiff, one in which he partnered with Tanner at scrumhalf and with the sublime partnership of Bleddyn Williams and Jack Matthews on his outside. That season was regarded as Cardiff’s best, they scored a remarkable 182 tries in 41 games and lost only twice. In ‘Rugger, My Life’ Bleddyn Williams writes a glowing tribute: ‘Cleaver was a natural footballer; but because people wanted a fly-half moulded on classical lines he was in and out of the Welsh team, playing at centre and full-back as well. But fly-half was his position, and I felt so all the time I was playing there for Wales against England in 1947. If “Billy Kick” had been out half that day I think Wales might have won.’ On his return from the Lions tour of 1950, Cleaver declined an invitation to be captain of Cardiff, instead retiring from the game entirely at the age of 29, to pursue further his career in mining. By the young age of 28 years of age, he had already become manager of North Celynen Colliery in Monmouthshire, eventually becoming a Deputy Director of the South Wales Coalfield. His premature retirement was a great loss to Welsh Rugby. But it was typical of the man who regarded rugby casually, as just another of his many interests and talents. He did however come back to figure at scrumhalf for the Lions against his beloved Cardiff to commemorate their 75th anniversary in 1951, partnering with Jack Kyle for one of the most spectacular games in post war rugby. Provenance: consigned in Ireland, from the collection of the late Jack Kyle OBE (1926-2014), one of Ireland’s most famous players. The two players swapped jerseys on one of the occasions that they faced each other in 1947 or 1949 before the Wales team used a numbering system. The two players became good friends on tour with the British Lions where ‘he and Jack Kyle were as loth to appear at training periods as modern players are to pass the ball out in their own “25”….both their names will never be forgotten in the history of Rugby football.’ (Rugger, my life; Bleddyn Williams; Anchor press, 1956) Condition Report: one of the two buttons missing, faded printed ‘F’ on panel, small area of fading on back down spine, one small stitching repair on back which is believed to have been done during playing days, a few small blemishes but not serious, structurally no problems, in excellent condition overall, it has not been displayed so generally not faded and without pinholes or long-term folds £1200-1800

485 AN ALL BLACKS RUGBY UNION JERSEY MATCH WORN BY LEGENDARY FULL BACK BOB SCOTT MBE (1921-2012) KNOWN AS ‘BAREFOOT BOB in traditional black with white collar with single button, white number 1 to reverse, and stitched badge of embroidered Silver Fern on black felt background, bears label for Canterbury Sports. To accompany ‘The Bob Scott Story’ by R W H Scott and T P Mclean (Herbert Jenkins 1956) Auctioneer’s Note: Robert William Henry Scott, better known as Bob Scott or by the nickname ‘Barefoot Bob’, is one of rugby’s most celebrated players. He played 52 matches for New Zealand including 17 Tests from 1946 to 1954. Throughout the illustrious history of New Zealand rugby there have been All Black players who have stood apart from the crowd. We think of era defining players such as Dave Gallaher at the beginning of the twentieth century, George Nepia in the interwar years, and then following the war there is Bob Scott. Rugby commentator, the late Winston McCarthy, regarded as ‘The Voice of New Zealand Rugby’ said of Scott, ‘there will never be anyone as great’. Even the legendary Maori fullback George Nepia who was regarded as the greatest ever fullback before the Second World War, said that there was no other player to touch Bob Scott. While one of the Springbok’s most celebrated No.8s, Hennie Muller, referred to Bob Scott as ‘altogether, the greatest footballer I’ve ever played....in any position’. Scott was a player with flair. He had magnificent control and reading of the game, a deceiving swerve, a feint side-step, and superb running ability to beat the most robust of defences. He was also famously a tremendous ball-kicker from the hands and with a place kick. He was as sturdy in defence as he was dangerous in attack. In fact, in his eponymous ‘Bob Scott on Rugby’ instruction manual he considered ‘attack’ to be the ‘art of rugby football’. Hennie Muller also said, ‘He loved coming into the line and his speed and elusiveness were such that he was always a danger’. Bob Scott toured with the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces team that toured Europe after the war in 1945-46. He made his All Blacks debut in 1946 against Australia and he toured South Africa in 1949, playing in all four tests. He also a played in all four tests against the British Lions in 1950, this was the first British Touring party to be coined The Lions and the first to wear the iconic red jersey. In the final test at Eden Park, Auckland he scored a memorable drop goal from behind the half-way line. He also made the 1954 tour of Britain, France, Ireland and North America. He performed brilliantly on that tour, playing in all five tests including the shock defeat to Wales (Wales’ last victory against the All Blacks). He was given a huge ovation when walking off Cardiff Arms Park after the All Blacks beat the Barbarians at the end of the tour. By his retirement, Bob Scott had scored a record of 840 points in first-class rugby. His All Blacks playing record was 17 Test matches, winning ten and drawing one, while amassing 74 points personally. He was a servant of Ponsonby RFC, Petone RFC and the Auckland region. In 1990, he was inducted into the New Zealand Sports Hall
130
of Fame, and was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1995 for services to rugby and his community. The Bob Scott story is a remarkable one as the odds were very much against him from the start; he was a child of the great depression of the 1930s. His father had been chronically wounded at Gallipoli, the painful injuries remaining with him throughout his life. The family lived in the wild mountainous region of Tangaraku and Ohura, around 200 miles South of Auckland. Bob’s father had low paid employment and they lived in makeshift accommodation. Bob Scott remembered that as a child he was often hungry, cold and walked to school barefoot. At the age of five, Bob Scott contracted polio but recovered well. He then started to play rugby at school – barefooted and learning that by doubling-up his big toe, Bob could even kick barefooted. He recalled that he was a better place-kicker barefooted than with his boots on! Later in his life, witnesses say that he could kick a goal barefooted from the half-way line and would do so to please the crowds when egged on during rugby festivals. In 1930, at the age of nine, at the height of the Great Depression, Bob’s parents broke-up and he was sent to a Salvation Army children’s home. His parents reconciled in 1932, but it was shortlived and consequently all Bob’s siblings were sent to a children’s home in Auckland while Bob lived with his father in the city – first in a single bedroom and then in a shack at a back of someone’s house, where they lived on a diet of rice. In the winter of 1934, when Bob was thirteen, the New Zealand depression was lifting, but Bob’s father died of cancer. So, he went to live with his mother and the family. At first, he worked, still a child, in a warehouse, and then the family moved back to the bush where they began share-milking. The Second World War broke out when Bob was eighteen and he enlisted. He joined the Second New Zealand Division in Egypt and while overseas his tragic childhood was punctuated by his mother dying. He explained that it was this difficult childhood that shaped him, that he always felt different to others. He was suspicious of anything positive in his life and felt that he was never going to be given anything - he had to work for everything to survive. These are the traits that shaped his inner steel and determination on the field of play. Provenance: consigned in Ireland, from the collection of the late Jack Kyle OBE (1926-2014), one of Ireland’s most famous players. The two players swapped jerseys on one of the five occasions that they faced each other. Each time Jack Kyle played against the All Blacks, Scott was at full-back, thus wearing No.1. The occasions in which Scott played full-back for the All Blacks against Jack Kyle were on each of the Tests on the British Lions tour of New Zealand in 1950 and at Dublin for Ireland v New Zealand in 1954 when Jack Kyle captained Ireland….. Condition Report: the jersey is in immaculate original condition; the jersey was treasured by Jack Kyle, given the great respect an admiration both men had for each other. It has not been displayed so has not faded or suffered from pinholes or long-term folds. (The book belonged to Jack Kyle) £12000-18000

NOTES
Rogers Jones & Co

Rogers Jones & Co
COMPANY TERMS & CONDITIONS These conditions of business for auctions held at our premises consist of: (1) Information for Buyers; (2) Terms of Sale (for bidders and buyers). (1) INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AT AUCTIONS 1. Introduction. The following notes are intended to assist bidders and buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand. Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale. 2. Methods of Payment. Lots must be paid for before they are collected. For those attending the auction we ask that lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our web site, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm within five working days following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 1,000 euros equivalent. We do not accept credit card payments. We are unable to accept debit-card payments when the card holder is not present. Cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the goods away. 3. Collection and storage. All lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm within five working days following the auctions in this catalogue. Absentee bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment and collection within this time. Please note the Terms of Sale concerning collection and storage. Items not removed in the timescale stated will be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 as an administration fee and £5 per lot per day may be charged (plus VAT). 4. Dispatch. We do not offer postage for lots sold at auction in this catalogue unless they can be packed within a Jiffy-bag. We can recommend agents who can undertake packing and postage. 5. Agency. As auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the goods is with the seller, not with us as auctioneer. 6. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price (the minimum price for which a lot may be sold) and will not be below the reserve price. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the auction of the lot. They are not definitive. 7. Buyer’s Premium. The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a buyer’s premium at 22% on the hammer price of each purchased lot in the auctions contained within this catalogue. In addition, VAT is charged on the premium (see below).
142
8. VAT. VAT is payable by the buyer on the buyer’s premium at either the standard rate depending upon the legal requirements relating to that lot. 9. Artist’s Resale Right/Droit De Suite. Lots specified (in catalogue description) are potentially subject to a levy Droit de Suite - a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death. Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below the sterling equivalent of €1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is the sterling equivalent of €10,000. Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency. Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale. Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows: 4%
Up to €50,000
3%
€50,000.01 - 200,000
1%
€200,000.01 - 350,000
0.5%
€350,000.01 - 500,000
0.25%
In excess of €500,000
Up to a maximum levy of €10,000 Currently Rogers Jones & Co volunteer to pay this royalty in the auction described as The Welsh Sale. 10. Inspection of goods by the buyer. As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods. You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale on our website and www.the-saleroom.com 11. Condition Reports. We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale. In many cases condition reports are stated in the catalogue description but this does not act as a guarantee that the report is factually correct and it must not be taken as guaranteed that items without condition reports stated in the description are free from issues, such as damage, restoration or other problems. 12. Electrical goods. These are sold as “objects” only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them. 13. Export of goods. If you intend to export goods you must find out: 1. whether an export licence is needed; and 2. if there is a prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because the goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory. 14. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry
out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion. 15. Absentee bidding. You may leave absentee bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a lot (excluding the buyers’ premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute absentee bids as economically as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical absentee bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving absentee bids online via our website. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute absentee bids received after this time. 16. Telephone Bidding. If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for some lots at our discretion. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason. 17. Online Bidding. Any lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional commission charge on the hammer price payable by the bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 5% plus VAT. The charges will be payable to us on top of the hammer price and the buyer’s premium.
(2) TERMS OF SALE Both the sale of goods at our auctions and your relationship with us are governed by the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers) the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices displayed in the saleroom or announced by us at the auction (collectively, the “Conditions of Business”). The Terms of Consignment and Terms of Sale are available at our saleroom on request. Please read these Terms of Sale carefully. Please note that if you register to bid and/or bid at auction this signifies that you agree to and will comply with these Terms of Sale.
