John Sieverdink John specialised in 16th-19th Century paintings becoming the ‘go to’ man for opinion on Gainsborough’s work for many of the world’s leading galleries and auction houses, including regulars Christie’s and Agnews to Colnaghi and Arnold Wiggins and Sons. Peter Gatacre began a lifetime association with John when he was managing director of Madame Tussauds and became one of John’s principal clients.
Reading through John’s meticulously kept work book is akin to reading a who’s who of 17th-20th century artists, Van Dyk, Vermeer, Manet, Constable, Munnings, Stubbs , Lucien Freud, Barbara Hepworth, Rubens, Hogarth ,Sartorius , Turner, Gainsborough, the list goes on and on; so many masterpieces that have needed John’s gentle ministrations. John’s restorations are now hanging in Galleries around the world; Koryama, the Tate, the Met, MoMa, the Royal collection, Uffizi, the V&A and many others too numerous to name. John’s love of these masters and of all things of beauty led him to become a collector himself. Starting off like so many boys he began with stamps, and later his
John and Barbara in younger years
love of Seago’s work set him off on a journey that was to last a lifetime. Long before ‘affordable art’ became buzz words, John, with a limited budget, searched out and bought objects he found beautiful; Eastern Ceramics, Murano glass, 17th century engravings, Western ceramics, English and American china, glass, furniture, books, and paintings.
It’s an interesting thought that although his work is now hanging in so many collections around the world, no one knows they are in part, his work. But that is the lot of a restorer, to remain unknown, anonymous. And that is exactly as John would have wanted it, he was a gentle, modest man who made light of his work. Quite often visitors to his home would be asked to walk carefully past, and not touch the Gainsborough or Turner leaning against the wall waiting for John to restore it to life;

THE SIEVERDINK COLLECTION, WEDNESDAY 2 MARCH 2022
sometimes visitors would be lucky enough to watch him re paint, re varnish and more wonderfully remove old dark varnish and reveal the wonders beneath.
Like many picture restorers, John was occasionally asked why with his skill and understanding, he didn’t paint also. He would quietly point at a picture hanging in his dining room, the only picture he ever painted. “That’s why” he would simply reply.
John died in 2009 but the breadth of his collecting has only recently come to light, some things hidden away for years. He would have been proud, extremely flattered, and perhaps a little embarrassed at the attention he is getting, and he would have been touched at the care his nieces, Nicky and Cathie have taken, discovering their uncle’s incredible backstory, and bringing it all together with the help of Lee Young of Dore and Rees.

John was so self-effacing that no matter how proud he was, he probably wouldn’t have told anyone that today was taking place.
A small excerpt from John’s letters; his condition report on a well-known portrait by Gainsborough for a leading London gallery, which had purchased it for a client in July 1990:
‘Have not seen a Gainsborough in a worse condition by a long way. Face gone. Chest very bad indeed. Spandrels in a dreadful state. Background very bad. Dress only passable area.
Much restoration. Looked fair but very unsatisfactory job as far as I was concerned’
It is now in a private collection and is available as a very popular Art print around the world. Written by a close family member
John and his wife Barbara 45 yeats later, still laughing!

Edward Seago RBA, ARWS, RWS (1910-1974) Born and schooled in Norfolk, Edward Seago was the son of a coal merchant. Confined to bed for much of his childhood suffering from a mysterious heart complaint, Seago had little formal education. He was later tutored by Sir Alfred Munnings and Bertram Priestman, however was largely a self-taught artist.
Amongst many of his wide-ranging admirers were the British Royal family and the Agas Khan to mention just a few. Such was his popularity during his lifetime that prospective purchasers of his works would queue for hours at his annual gallery exhibitions, with just one exception. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, who is known to have been one of his greatest supporters, bought so many works during Seago's lifetime that he gave her two a year for her birthday and at Christmas.
His diverse interest saw him paint landscapes, seascapes, skyscapes, street scenes, portraits, and his own garden, all classified as either impressionist or postimpressionist. During his time in the army, Seago was asked to undertake one of his more unusual commissions, when asked by his lifetime friend, Field Marshall Auchinleck, to produce designs for developing camouflage techniques. Seago also produced a silver sculpture depicting St. George slaying the dragon, which serves as a car mascot for vehicles in which Queen Elizabeth II travels; the mascot is designed so that it can be easily can be transferred from vehicle to vehicle. In 1953 he was appointed an official Coronation artist, and later, accompanied the Duke of Edinburgh on his world tour. He spent much of the 1930s working with the touring circus where he recorded the excitement and movement of the shows. Seago was involved in the publication of many books including Sons of Sawdust
Edward Seago
which told stories of life in the circus, High Endeavour, Peace in War and his own autobiography A Canvas to Cover. Copies of all these titles are included within the Sieverdink sale.
During his lifetime Seago held exhibitions in major cities throughout the world including London, New York, Montreal, Los Angeles, and Brussels. Today the name Edward Seago still conjures up the same excitement amongst worldwide collectors and art scholars as it did during his early post-war exhibitions.

If only an easel could talk John and I basked in the praise, even though I knew it wasn’t for me. It was for John and for the Gainsborough I held for him. I had held so many artists, Gainsborough, Turner, Constable, Stubbs, Freud, Holbein, Manet, Rembrant, Munnings, Reynolds, Mengs, Van Dyck and many more.. I held them all for John and Henry. Such tales I could tell. Tales of love and greed, intrigue and betrayal, tales of bringing beauty to life again. But I will keep these tales to myself. I never had a starring role in any of them, just a supporting role because I am the easel. Written by a close family member
John’s father, Henry, from whom John learnt the art of picture restoration

You will indemnify us and the Seller in full on demand against all claims, costs or expenses incurred by us or the Seller as a result of any breach by you of any of the obligations in this clause. 14. Inspection of Lots a. As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Lots. 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. b. We strongly recommend that you attend the auction viewing in person if possible. You are responsible for your decision to bid for particular Lot. If you bid on a Lot, including by
telephone, absentee bid or online bidding, we will assume that you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding it’s condition. c. Please note that the Lots (in particular second hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition. Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of secondhand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.
15. Descriptions and condition a. Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on i i. Information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and i ii. Our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot). b. We will give you a number opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot. c. Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.
16. Registration, Bidding and the Buyer a. You are required to register to bid by 5pm on the day before the auction. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a absentee bid. b. If you wish to bid on high value Lots, the registration deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. c. We reserve the right to require deposits at the point of Registration on high value Lots. Deposits are refundable after the auction if you are not a successful Bidder. d. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the Registration Form. e. Absentee bids may be left with us in writing indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding Buyer’s Premium and/or VAT and any applicable charges). We will execute absentee bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Bidders submit identical absentee bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can reasonably be ascertained). Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your absentee bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. f. Telephone bidding is offered on a first come first serve basis on high value lots. Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your telephone bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. g. Bidding online is available via doreandrees.com and our auction partners EasyLiveAuction.com.

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.
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.
