Events & News
chairman’s introduction
The city of Salisbury must have had more press coverage in the last six months than at any time in its 800 year history but sadly for all the wrong reasons. The Skripal/ Novichok/Amesbury events have received global coverage in the media and this has left people worried about coming here. Many of the local shops have suffered as a result and as you walk about the city the diminished number of visitors and tourists is very apparent.
Here in the salerooms, because all our sales can be viewed online combined with the ease of internet and telephone bidding, thankfully our results have not been affected at all, in fact quite the reverse. Our half-yearly figures are excellent and with some terrific sales lined up for the autumn it looks like 2018 could be one of our best-ever years.
All of us here very much hope that despite recent events, we will have the pleasure of welcoming you to the salerooms in the coming months. As ever, we are very much open for business!

A Dutch Golden Age painter, Gerrit van Honthorst (image 1) was influenced by the chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, adopting a similar style and becoming a leading portrait painter in the Netherlands. The painting has not been on the market for more than 100 years – it was in the collection of Sir Robert Horton in the 19th century at Catton Hall and then passed down through the Anson family. The painting features in the catalogue raisonné by J. Richard Judson where he notes it has ‘the same soft surface quality and physiognomy that one finds in Honthorst’s paintings dating from the years around 1622-23’. He also suggests it may be related to a ‘lost pendant’ – a similar portrait, where the lady may be offering fruit to a person, perhaps a shepherd to her right where her smiling gaze is cast. She symbolises temptation and the apples are a reference to Eve’s seduction of Adam. Apples were also often used as symbols of fertility, the beauty of the female form and of love. The pose, costume and model clearly hold strong similarities to the famous painting by Honthorst of the young woman playing the 1

viola da gamba. She appears in several of his paintings, often holding a musical instrument, which at the time were a conventional motif of brothel scenes. It is clear in this painting, from her suggestive pose and provocative dress, that she is a courtesan. Her warm and appealing smile resulted in her being called ‘The Laughing Girl’ by the vendor’s family. The painting below (image 2) is by Czechborn Italian painter Antonietta Brandeis. She perfected her skills as a meticulous painter of landscapes and cityscapes, as well as portraits and religious subject matter. In 1899, she painted a St. Luke which illustrated the sparkling colours and free impasto typical of her plein air oil painting. This painting shows her skill at dealing with the soft Venetian light and fine detail of the ancient architecture of the Doge’s palace.
2. Antonietta Brandeis (Austrian 1848-1926) Courtyard of the Doge's Palace, Venice with the Giant's Staircase Signed, oil on canvas, 50 x 40.5cm. Estimate: £6,000 – 8,000
busy with craft and people. His technical skill showed close observation of the ships he depicted. His paintings also included sea battles, seascapes and townscapes. The central feature of Storck's painting is the Gouden Leeuw (Golden Lion), a Dutch ship of the line armed with 80 cannon. She was built for the Admiralty of Amsterdam in 1666 during the second Anglo-Dutch War. During the third Anglo-Dutch War, she served as the flagship at the Battle of Texel in 1673, with the Irishman Thomas Tobiasz as flag captain. She is shown in this painting flying Tromp’s double-prince flag and also features in a painting by Willem Van de Velde the Younger of this battle.
Abraham Jansz Storck was a Dutch baroque painter born in Amsterdam in 1644 as the youngest son of painter Jan Jansz Storck (opposite). Known for his marine scenes and fine draughtsmanship, his favourite subjects were the harbour of his native Amsterdam, 2

The Ian West Collection consists of nearly two hundred lots of Native American Indian artefacts covering a wide range, including clothing, clubs, tobacco bags, quirts (riding whips), pipes and sheaths for knives and guns. A collection that started from a childhood interest and an early acquaintance with Edward H. Blackmore developed into a lifelong passion, keeping detailed records of each piece, including provenance, materials used and tribal origins. Ian eventually consolidated the collection into his own museum in Sussex, open to the public and attracting visitors from around the world.

The enchanting Inuit carved amulet in the form of a sea otter (image 2), reflects the belief that sea otters were formally human beings, with their internal organs looking the same and with the visible ribs and spine, perhaps because an otter’s soul was believed to reside in its skeleton. Its bones were returned to the sea so a new otter could be born. These amulets were fastened to the inside of the kayak cockpit, through holes in the back. The three Fijian four pronged ‘cannibal forks’ or ceremonial forks (image 5) were used by priests or chiefs when eating human and other flesh. They were also used by high ranking individuals who, as living representations of gods, could not handle the food. These men were often fed by attendants who carefully placed consecrated flesh in the person’s mouth avoiding contact with their lips.

1. A George III dockyard
model of a boat, 121cm long. Estimate: £2,000 – 3,000
1 The highlight of our 3rd October 2018 Furniture, Works of Art & Clocks sale is the wonderful Charles II embroidered needlework casket featured opposite. This rare survivor from the 17th century is worked in multicoloured silk and metal threads with various types of stitches and techniques including: couched work, satin stitches, spit and tent stitches and French knots. The larger panels on the casket depict popular scenes of the period and would have been adapted from contemporary engravings and pattern books. The front depicts the Queen of Sheba playing a lyre before Solomon and the right side depicts Daniel in the lion’s den. It is amazing to think that this casket was produced domestically. The techniques were learnt at a young age by girls completing samplers and these skills were developed over time on more elaborate pieces. The sale will also feature a good selection of antique furniture from private collections and estates. One of the more interesting pieces is the George II Irish mahogany side chair (image 4) which has a wonderful scrolling splat back and sits on boldly carved claw and ball feet. We think of the ‘claw and ball foot’ as being typically European but in fact this design traces its roots back to the East and in particular China. It is believed that a claw or talon is a dragon’s grasping a pearl or crystal ball. In Chinese mythology the image of a dragon's claw gripping a precious stone had been a common symbol for centuries symbolising the Emperor’s protection of wisdom or purity. 4

From their first years of production, porcelain factories across Europe included figural ornaments in their output alongside traditional ‘useful’ table wares. Tricky to produce, such items required the work of a skilled sculptor, from whose work were produced small moulds, sometimes breaking figures down into constituent parts. A worker called a repairer would then use

liquid clay (known as slip) to piece the figure together before firing. In the early years of each factory, when the materials were still somewhat experimental and where ambitions produced figures on a large scale, the kiln often took its toll on these delicate little people, and figures still turn up today with missing limbs, hands twisted at impossible angles and heads curiously turned, all of which have occurred during the firing and not as the result of a much later careless flick with a feather duster. Derby figures especially are subject to large firing cracks in the bases. Subject matter varied widely during the 18th century. Birds and animals were popular at most factories, as were Classical subjects, and romanticised versions of peasants and hawkers. The Meissen factory in Germany, whose output was echoed throughout Europe with imitations and homages to favourite subjects, often took inspiration from contemporary prints, including the famous Cris de Paris series of street vendors (opposite). The figures from a similar Meissen series, Cris de St Petersburg, differ markedly from those figures of hawkers and peasants produced within Russia a century later (image 4), which have a grittier honesty and reflect more accurately the poverty and hardship experienced by that part of society.
3. A rare Derby figure of
Britannia, circa 1760, 26.5cm. Provenance: From a private collection in Northamptonshire, included in the sale. Estimate: £500 – 800

porcelain figures from the Gardner Factory, late 19th/ early 20th century, 20.5cm max. Estimate: £1,500 – 2,000

Oddities and rarities turn up from all factories, sometimes because output was low and survivals few, such as the pair of Longton Hall horses (image 1) which date from the earliest years of a shortlived concern; sometimes because only a few examples of a particular figure were produced, for whatever reason. An identical figure of Britannia (image 3) is in the Bowes Museum at Barnard Castle and suggestion has been made that the figure was made especially for the Earls of Strathmore, the lion and boar on the shield perhaps a rebus for the Lyon-Bowes (whose name was changed to Bowes-Lyon by the 13th Earl in the 19th century) family.

Dancing alongside the Age of Jazz centrepieces are bronze and ivory figures by Ferdinand Preiss, Gerda Iro (Gerdago) and Demetre Chiparus – three of the greatest Art Deco sculptors. Another bronze sculpture comes in the form of a rarely seen figural table lamp, La Voie Lactée (The Milky Way) by Leo LaporteBlairsy, which is considered an Art Nouveau masterpiece.

The auction also includes the collection of the late Rodney Bewes, famed for his work on stage and screen and who is probably best remembered as one of The Likely Lads. Consigned from his 1960s architect designed house in Henley-on-Thames, the collection reflects his taste in contemporary furniture and includes pieces by Charles & Ray Eames, Achille Castiglioni and Arne Jacobsen.

In 1929, the year of the great crash on Wall Street, Clarice Cliff introduced her iconic Age of Jazz figures. These ceramic sculptures were designed to adorn the centre of fine dining tables and five different designs were made. Two were modelled as groups of musicians, two as dancing couples and the largest featured two pairs of dancers. Following the success of the Age of Jazz centrepiece of two dancing couples (model 434) which sold for a record price of £15,000 in our March Art Deco auction, another set of dancers – a pair this time (opposite) - has been consigned from a private collection. The figures are illustrated before a backdrop painting of similar jazz period dancers which hangs on the wall of the ballroom at Burgh Island Hotel, a magnificent Art Deco time capsule, also built in 1929. It will be sold in a section of Clarice ceramics which includes good examples of May Avenue, House and Bridge and Honolulu.

A feature of the sale is early silver, and the market remains high for both flatware and hollowware. We will be selling Part III of a private collection of Queen Anne spoons, a highlight being a rare pair of Scottish provincial silver Dog-nose spoons, by David Dunlop, Canongate circa 1703. The sale also contains another small private collection of early silver Apostle spoons which includes a James I example (image 3) by Martin Hewett, London 1615.

THE DR. ANNE SHANNON COLLECTION 31st October 2018
We are delighted to be offering a substantial selection of late 19th century to Arts & Crafts period jewellery from the collection of Dr. Anne Shannon. Anne has had a lifelong interest in jewellery which began while she was pursuing a career as a GP in London. She started collecting Georg Jensen silver jewellery and as her knowledge in jewellery grew over the following 50 years, so her collection developed. A chance meeting with Muriel Wilson (news editor of Jewellery History Today) led to them volunteering at Goldsmiths Hall, spending a day a week over several years organising and archiving a very large bequeathed collection of Omar Ramsden/Ramsden & Carr design drawings. Her close ongoing involvement with this work led Anne to start purchasing a variety of their pieces to create her own collection.
This project grew in parallel with continuing additions she made to her Georg Jensen range with emphasis on his early work. In this, she was advised and guided by Michael von Essen, curator of Jensen’s antique department and museum in Copenhagen for over 40 years. She came to embrace a range of British and European designers whose work she began collecting; one of her notable Castellani bracelets was selected by the BARD Graduate Center in New York for display in an exhibition of classical revival jewellery in 2004-2005. Anne has now retired and lives with her husband in Buckinghamshire. We are honoured to be offering her comprehensive collection for auction.

A Red Cliff, A Crouching Tiger, A Hidden Dragon The wucai cup offered in the November sale (image 1) is a rare example where the Kangxi mark corresponds with the production period. It is painted with a scene from a famous poem by Su Shi (1037-1101) from the Chibi fu ('Ode to the Red Cliff'). It depicts the poet and his friends enjoying a picnic in a boat and marvelling at the cliffs. Su Shi was exiled to the provinces, and his visit to the famous battle site made him reflect on the transient quality of life and the nature of people. The poem to the reverse reads: 'I raised my wine cup and toasted my guests, joining them in chanting the Ode to the Bright Moon and the Song of Sylphs'. It also bears a seal which reads: 'Elegance'.

The dynamic struggle between a tiger and a dragon depicted on this elegant vase (image 3) from the Qianlong period is an ancient symbol of balance between Yin and Yang energy, ensuring harmony of feng shui. Its provenance can be traced to the collection of William Wilberforce Winkworth and it was offered at Sotheby's in London on the 12th December 1972, and was later sold by Bluett & Son in 1973 for £2,950. It will be included in the November sale with an estimate of £10,000-20,000. Along with fine Chinese porcelain, our November sale will include the impressive pair of cloisonné cockerels illustrated opposite (estimate £40,000 - 60,000) and the rhinoceros horn libation cup (image 2) carved with chilong (estimate £15,000-20,000).

Following the successful Spring sale, the November auction is already shaping up well; it includes a good selection of old masters and modern Chinese paintings with interesting provenance. We are delighted to be offering the ink landscape painting (opposite) depicting views of Jiang Nan Autumn mountain, which was consigned from the collection of Long Yun (1884-1962) the late governor and general of Yunnan. Long was an extraordinary man, known as the ‘King of Yunnan’. General Long governed Yunnan for eighteen years and was appointed commander-in-chief of the Army of the Nationalist party of China, when fighting the Japanese. This extravagant and high quality painting closely follows the style of Shen Zhou, the quintessential Ming scholar, poet and painter. Zhou preferred to live in retirement rather than risk the vicissitudes of government service and devoted his life to scholarly pursuits and self-expression by depicting the interior world of the mind and heart through landscape painting.

Magpies are always an auspicious symbol - birds of good fortune and love. The first character for the name of the bird, xi que, has the same sound as xi, ‘happiness’. Magpies are also a symbol of the wish for a happy marriage, success at examinations and for getting rich. 1

This lovely magpies and bamboo painting (image 2) by Zhao Shao Ang (1905-1998) is from the collection of Li Fook Kow (d.2011) and Edith Li (d.1992). Zhao’s adherence to form and realism allowed him to infuse his magpies with exceptional vitality, using sharp brushstrokes dotted with colours of white and blue, giving the bird a solid form. Every single brushstroke is executed with vigour, resulting in a lively and animated portrayal of the fullness of Spring and the heroic stance of the bamboo. 3

JAPANESE WORKS OF ART 14th November 2018
The Genius of Namikawa Yasuyuki The dishes pictured above are two highlights from our November 2018 sale. Dating from circa 1903, they are rare examples of Namikawa Yasuyuki’s later work and illustrate his interest in landscapes, a subject rarely depicted in Japanese cloisonné enamels. Namikawa Yasuyuki (1845-1927) is regarded as one of the most eminent artists of the Meiji period. These dishes display many of the techniques he developed over his career. Translucent enamels and the wide range of colours, with subtle nuances and shadings, are some of the revolutionary aspects of his work. Namikawa became highly successful both in Japan and in the West. The Emperor Meiji appointed him Imperial Craftsman to the Court in 1896, an honour only bestowed upon a handful of artists. He regularly took part in international exhibitions, winning countless awards, and Westerners travelling to Japan often visited his studio in Kyoto. Famous customers include King Edward VIII, Sir Rutherford Alcock and Rudyard Kipling, who was particularly taken by the lengthy process of making cloisonné: “...I saw a man who had only been a month over the polishing of one little vase [...] When I am in America he will be polishing still, and the ruby-coloured dragon […] will be growing more lovely…”. Comparable dishes are among the best collections of Japanese Art in the world, including the Khalili and the Baur Collections and we are delighted to be offering these two examples in our forthcoming sale.

The Japanese Spirit Of A Tokyo School Okimono The Japanese sale features another remarkable work by an Imperial Craftsman to the court: the charming ivory carving of a monkey gently holding a snail (image 1). This delicate okimono (literally 'ornament for display') was carved by Ishikawa Komei (1852-1913) in the Meiji era and is a typical example of Tokyo School carving.
1
Komei grew up in a family of wood sculptors during an era that saw the Japanese government encouraging traditional crafts for export. The Industrial Promotion Policy had the dual purpose of developing national prosperity by selling artworks to Westerners, but also to display the superiority of Japanese art to other nations. Komei was celebrated for his traditional style of sculpture and he was keen to protect Japanese art from Western influences. In 1881, he became a founding member of the Carvers' Foundation Committee – later renamed the Tokyo Carvers' Association - with the aim of encouraging fellow sculptors to create works in traditional Japanese style. He was later appointed Professor of the Sculpture Department at the Tokyo Art School (1891) and taught a new generation of artists. The resulting aesthetics, known today as the 'Tokyo School' style, display very high-quality craftsmanship whilst retaining the 'Japanese spirit' so dear to Komei.
Painting With Fabric: The Delicate World Of Oshi-E Pictures Another illustration of the Meiji government's Industrial Promotion Policy is this rare set of textile panels (image 2). Using the traditional craft of oshi-e (pressed or padded silk), these four pictures depict typical Japanese industries which would have appealed to Western customers for their 'exoticism': sericulture, porcelain-making, rice cultivation and tea production. Oshi-e pictures were made of paper or silk scraps covering cotton paddings, thus creating a three-dimensional effect. Regarded as a feminine craft, oshi-e pictures were notably displayed at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition (1876) in the 'Fancy Articles' section. These fragile 19th century artworks are scarce and so this set of four is a very rare occurrence. The Japanese sale on the 14th of November will also include a private collection of fan paintings on paper, high-quality porcelain, further metalwork pieces and a selection of netsuke and lacquer inro, including pieces from the Tomkinson collection. Following the sales of a rare Kakiemon boy and a beauty in May 2018, the November sale will also feature high-quality vases and figures in the same style from the late 17th century (image 3). 2

Courage and leadership…in any emergency
It is the final centenary year of the Great War, and a fitting time to consider an episode in the period leading up to the German defeat on the Western Front. According to a significant (and erroneous) strand of popular thought, the British war effort was an endless round of futile bloodletting initiated by an incompetent and callous officer class; while in the minds of many Germans their invincible army was betrayed by a sinister combination of unpatriotic elements on the home front. The truth is that the Germans were defeated militarily, and although the achievements of British arms were only one of a number of factors in this, it must be acknowledged that by 1918 the Army had evolved into a highly effective force. Swelled by a successful recruiting and conscription effort and informed in its tactical and operational thinking by the lessons of the hard years since August 1914, it was not merely holding out against the enemy – it was outfighting him.
was quite exemplary: “During the attack on the strongly held enemy system about the Canal du Nord on the 11th and 12th September, 1918, he led his company deep into the hostile trenches, overcoming a fierce resistance and accounting for numbers of the enemy, besides taking many prisoners. In the heavy bombardment of a counter-attack, he moved his men from the main trench to forward shell holes, thereby saving many lives as the trench was obliterated. His courage and leadership could be depended upon in any emergency.”
of his group speaks of a man who set aside his drawing instruments in the hour of his country’s need and acquitted himself brilliantly, before returning to his civilian occupation. He never forgot the men who had been his responsibility in the trenches, and expended much efforts in organising the affairs of veterans’ associations. A hero and a paragon, we anticipate lively competition for his medals on the 21st November.
Captain Cheston was a hero – we feel no apprehension that we will be accused of immoderate use of the word. Furthermore, he was a highly competent officer. He did not wear the numerous awards of a career soldier – the brevity 1
A personal example of this is provided by Captain John Alford Cheston of the 24th Battalion Royal Fusiliers – one of the great number of ‘New Army’ battalions added to the strength of established regiments. Captain Cheston, an architect by calling, did not arrive in the theatre of war until January 1917. Our November auction will offer collectors the chance to acquire his medal group, in which the two campaign medals that are standard to men who joined the fighting after 1915 are preceded by a Military Cross – the normal gallantry award for junior officers. Although this combination cannot be called uncommon, Captain Cheston’s M.C. act
Pirates by Appointment to the King 1807: the war against Napoleon’s France rages on land and sea; a legal document is endorsed by King George III granting permission for a private armed sloop, the ‘Betsy’ under its Captain Charles Chant, to make war on the vessels of the Dutch – old enemies now in thrall to the Emperor. In the months that follow the Betsy attacks and captures four enemy trading vessels (to add to the many that she has taken under previous Captains) in actions that are little other than officially sanctioned piracy. Readers will recognise this as the description of a ‘Letter of Marque’ – or to give it its full title ‘Letter of Marque and Reprisal’.
The original purpose of such instruments was to authorise retaliatory raids across territorial boundaries by individuals who had suffered harm at the hands of a foreign power. Here ‘Marque’ derives from an Old English word for a boundary marker and ‘Reprisal’ speaks for itself. The usage evolved over time and the term became synonymous with what had been known, more prosaically, as a Privateering Commission. The effect was to grant permission for Chant to “…set forth in a warlike manner…….by force of arms to apprehend, seize and take….ships, vessels and goods…”
The Betsy’s letter will be offered for sale in our November auction, alongside other similar documents. It is thrilling to hold in one’s hands the legal instrument by which the King brought down the ravages of irregular naval warfare on the heads of his enemies!

Felix Kelly was a New Zealand artist who worked in England for most of his life. War-time illness caused him to focus on his painting and he tried his hand at illustration and stage design as well as painting. Kelly was influenced by the Surrealists but as his commissions increased, his paintings began to take on a more romantic style and the surrealist traits became less marked in his works due to his patrons’ preferences towards the romantic. Kelly’s work is notable for its mystical, evocative, nostalgic ambience which can be seen in this work which presents an unsettling, eerie atmosphere in this depiction (image 1) of an abandoned fairground ride, unmanned save for one lone figure.

William Roberts was a British artist and before World War 1 was a pioneer of abstract images and a proponent of Vorticism. In later years, he described his approach as that of an “English Cubist”. In 1916 Roberts enlisted in the Royal Regiment of Artillery as a gunner, serving on the Western Front in the Ypres sector and in 1918 he returned to London as an official war artist with the proviso that the work should not be in the cubist style. He painted a number of works depicting his experiences at the front line which rival the bitterness and social realism of German artists Otto Dix and George Grosz. Roberts was commissioned to paint his experiences at the front and produced ‘A Shell Dump, France’ and a group of twelve watercolour drawings during this period (image 2). Robert Bateman, was born in 1930 and is a Canadian naturalist and painter who had a strong interest in the natural world from an early age and spent his childhood recording his sightings of birds. From 1957 to 1958 Bateman travelled around the world with Bristol Foster in a Land Rover during which time Bateman painted and sketched what he saw. He found inspiration in the Group of Seven and abstractions of nature until he settled on a realistic style from the mid-1960s. Bateman himself wrote of this painting (image 4) ‘Everything in this painting represents immigration to North America. The building was built by the first or second generation of people who came from Britain or Ireland to Canada. Another immigrant is the proud, singing starling who is proclaiming his territory. A flock of rock doves flies by. Their native haunts were the cliffs and ledges of England and Europe. We call them pigeons.’

The British Art Pottery auction in December will once again showcase the work of the major studio potters of the twentieth century alongside the commercial Art Potteries of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Lucie Rie’s work continues to achieve consistently strong prices at auction, reflecting a truly global interest in her vases and bowls. The auction highlights two fine, but contrasting vases made by Rie: a tall stoneware bottle, in a pale blue pitted volcanic glaze is delicately decorated with pink and blue swirls

(image 1), while a porcelain bottle vase, with flaring neck, glazed in bronze manganese and bands of matt blue is incised with cut sgraffito line decoration reveals (image 2). Contemporary to the stoneware vase is a large slab-built vase by John Maltby (opposite). Maltby is believed to have made two versions of this vase, one for the New Craftsman Gallery, St. Ives and another, in reserve, which stayed with the potter. Also consigned is a rare ceramic sculpture of a female circus acrobat riding side-saddle
on a black horse by Margaret Hine, who was a member of a group of potters (including William Newland and Nicholas Vergette) known as the picassiettes after their admiration of Picasso's work. Ceramics by The Martin Brothers, Royal Doulton, Minton, Moorcroft and Della Robbia which represent the height of the Art Pottery movement of the late Victorian and Edwardian period will, as always, form the backbone of this sale.

EVENTS
The Chalke Valley History Festival On Tuesday 26th June, Woolley and Wallis were honoured to sponsor a talk by the eminently knowledgeable and respected writer, Hugo Vickers entitled ‘Cecil Beaton: Malice in Wonderland’ at The Chalke Valley History Festival. There are very few people who do not, at the very least, know the name Cecil Beaton. He was a British institution and a very complex character, who created stunning, timeless images of celebrities, friends and of course, the Royal Family. In his lecture, Hugo told Cecil’s story with wit and a true understanding of the man behind the camera.
Hugo Vickers speaks about legendary photographer Cecil Beaton
‘Beaton moved easily and elegantly through many worlds of the 20th century. He was a traveller, arbiter of taste and fashion, war photographer, painter and exceptionally wicked caricaturist. What was Beaton's secret? I think he produced a kind of magic.
Not only did he photograph most of the interesting, alluring and important people of the 20th century, but he made them look stunning.’ We look forward to next year's festival!
