The Suguru Iino Collection

The Suguru Iino Collection

Mr Suguru Iino (1943 2022) was a bon viveur and entrepreneur, who appreciated the arts, loved good food and had an eye for the cutting edge.

Always restless for adventure, in his youth in the 1960s he had a spell in the merchant navy during the Korean war.

His curiosity meant he always dreamt of living abroad so he saw his chance in the 1970s and moved his family from Tokyo to Amsterdam and then to Nottingham via his corporate employment with a large Japanese company.

His maverick nature did not suit corporate life so in the early 1980s he fulfilled another dream He moved his family finally to London where he entered the antiques business He started in Portobello Road, and soon progressed to Bond Street Antiques Market and finding a home in Gray’s Antiques Market, where he had a space for several years trading as Iino Antiques. He specialised in Chinese blue and white porcelain, silk paintings and Japanese antiquities from inro, netsuke, decorative screens, and porcelains.

In the mid ‘80s he concurrently imported Japanese stationery and desk gadgets which he

helped to popularise in the UK. One of the gadgets was a hand held copier called the “Copy Jack” which Mr Iino had on the BBC programme “Tomorrow’s World” presented by Judith Hann, as an example of the marvels of miniaturised technology!

Mr Iino saw a market for Japanese fast food, namely yakitori and sushi, and he brought in machines that would automate the laborious process and it came at a timely boom in the popularisation of Japanese food in the 1990’s until today

In the early 2000s he was approached to have his head cast by the prop maker of the film “The Last Samurai” starring Tom Cruise for a key battle scene. The props team presented him with a silicone model as they made several copies to have it strewn across the battlefield!

He spent the last years developing his own restaurants and collecting antiques on his travels to Japan

He is survived by loving his wife, daughter, son, two granddaughters and his faithful dog Yukio Written by a close family member

The Angela Trueb Collection

The Angela Trueb Collection

Angela Trueb (nee Clement Davies, 1918 1991) never knew her father, Vincent, who died aboard the SS Umgeni which was torpedoed in the Irish Sea in November 1917. Her mother Claudia remarried LP Kent, the creator of Kent coffee, in 1920 and she and young Angela joined him at his South Indian coffee estate Doddengudda that year

The family returned to Somerset in 1926 when Angela was eight, and Angela and her mother remained there until the end of the Second World War, whilst LP Kent divided his time between Somerset and India, managing the estate at Doddengudda.

During the war years Angela served as a WREN officer, working as a radio mechanic on Supermarine Seafires. The family reunited in India at Doddengudda in 1946 when Angela was 28

In 1952 at the Chikmagalur Club Angela met Hans Trueb, a Swiss coffee planter working for Volkart Brothers, and they married in Bangalore later that year. They settled at the Lowlands Bungalow in Mangalore where Hans managed the Volkart Brothers coffee curing plant. The family divided their time between Mangalore and

the growing of coffee on the company estates near Mysore, where in 1955 their daughter Claudia was born, followed in 1958 by son Paul. Initially inspired by her mother, between 1946 and 1967 Angela developed a passionate interest in the religious sculpture and art of India, researching and travelling widely and visiting temple sites, and in common with many of the British expat community, collecting pieces offered by travelling traders passing through Mangalore. (What survives of Angela’s research library is catalogued below)

In 1967 Volkart Brothers withdrew from South India, and the whole family together with Angela’s collection, returned to their newly completed home in Somerset. Having been educated in India until the family’s return, her daughter Claudia then went to school in Switzerland and son Paul to school in England Hans joined international food company Nestle

Angela’s Indian collection has remained at the Somerset home, now occupied by her daughter Claudia Burn and her family, since 1967

Glossary of Cataloguing Terms

Dore and Rees team members are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction, you are welcome to request condition reports If you require clarification of any terms used in the catalogue please be in touch. We are pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored. The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have undergone restoration, repair, or alteration It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the description. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration The use of inverted comas around a word or phrase (i e “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be (i.e. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt, our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice

For Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark Clearly, references to the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to personally inspect items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation

Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date and provenance is reliable and accurate, but all such statements of opinion are not to be taken as statement or representations of fact Dore and Rees reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority reasonably considered by them to be reliable

Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers

Paintings, Drawings and Prints

A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname or recognised designation of an artist is, in our opinion, a work by the artist, e g JOHN NASH

Attributed to JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist

Studio of JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work by an unknown hand, which may have been executed in the studio of the artist

Circle of JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

Follower of JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work executed in the style but probably not necessarily by a pupil.

Manner of JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date

After JOHN NASH in our opinion, a copy of any date after a work by the artist

Signed/inscribed/dated JOHN NASH in our opinion, the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

Jewellery

Bears signature/inscription/date JOHN NASH in our opinion, the signature/inscription/date are probably not by the hand of the artist

The addition of a question mark after any of the cataloguing terms in the above glossary indicates an element of doubt

The term 'ascribed to' may in certain cases be used to denote a traditional attribution based on style

A work catalogued as 'School' accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date mean that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in that location, e g Italian School, circa 1800

All reference to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of work, i e as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing

The use of inverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connection with a signature, or inscription (ie signed “John Nash”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand

The contents of any gemmological certificates accompanying lots in this sale are not guaranteed by Dore and Rees and we cannot be held responsible for any disagreement over the contents of the certificates after the sale, or for a retrospective change in opinion by the certificate issuer All weights and measurements provided are approximate only Prospective purchasers should assume that all coloured stones sold by Dore and Rees have been treated unless otherwise stated to the contrary in the catalogue description Stones are commonly treated to enhance their colour and clarity Sapphires and rubies are commonly heat treated and emeralds commonly oiled Jade/jadeite is often bleached, polymer/resin filled or dyed.

Please contact Dore and Rees for more clarification on treatment in individual lots Items containing rubies or jade/jadeite of Burmese origin are not permitted for import by the USA
