S tanbrid g e M i l l An English Idyll

J

ames Fairfax A.C. is an Australian who was educated at Geelong Grammar (Victoria, Australia) and Oxford (Balliol College), from which he graduated as a Master of Arts.

He is from the family of Mr John Fairfax, who emigrated with his family from Leamington Priors, Warwickshire in 1838, and after arrival in Sydney Australia, established a newspaper called (and still called) the Sydney Morning Herald. The newspaper business prospered and James was the Chairman of the company which owned the newspapers in 1987 when his half brother, Warwick, bought out the shares in the, by then, publicly listed company.

James Fairfax is a patron and benefactor of the arts, and owns or has owned a diverse private collection of paintings and sculptures.

He is also a generous donor to many significant charities which support humanitarian, health research, educational, cultural and ecological causes, including many major Australian Public Art Galleries, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Balliol College Oxford, United World Colleges, The New Children’s Hospital Sydney amongst many. He has made some significant donations of art from his collection to major art galleries in Australia including: “The Piazza San Marco” by Antonio Canaletto, to the Art Gallery of New South Wales and “The four times of day: Morning, Midday, Sunset, Night,” Paris 1757 by Claude Vernet to the Art Gallery of South Australia.

THE SWAMINATHAN COLLECTION OF BRITISH ART MEDAL SOCIETY MEDALS

T

he British Art Medal Society was formed in 1982 to promote the study and production of art medals and to re-establish the tradition of artists designing bronze medals as works of art. Since its formation the Society has commissioned many distinguished contemporary sculptors to design medals which have ranged from traditional portraiture to more challenging abstract designs. All BAMS medals are produced in small limited editions, some editions as small as four examples.

Lot 391

This group of medals have come to auction from the Siva Swaminathan collection and they include an interesting range of medals from the earliest years of the BAMS through to recent years. The jewel in the collection is the highly desirable medal by Lynn Chadwick ‘Diamond’ produced in 1984 in an edition of 128, others are by well-known artists such as Malcolm Appleby and Kevin Coates, others by those with reputations still to be established which add a great variety to the collection.

Literature: Elisabeth Frink, "Sculpture 1984", published

by Harp Vale Books, no. 277, illustrated page 197.

This major commission is erected on Gallow's Hill, Dorchester, Dorset.

Dame Elisabeth Frink’s magnificent larger than life size group of three figures was installed at the top of Gallows Hill on South Walks in 1986, and has been much admired ever since being one of Frink’s most important and significant public works. The site in Dorchester marks the location where the town gallows were located in the 16th and 17th centuries, just outside the old town walls.

The group is dedicated ‘In memory of those who suffered in Dorset in the religious troubles of the 16 thd 17th centuries’ many of whom were consigned to a barbaric and blood-thirsty death for their religious beliefs.

ELISABETH FRINK R.A. (1930-1993) A maquette for the Dorset Martyr's Memorial, signed, limited edition, no. 3 of 8, 12¾" high x 11" wide

Frink’s work comprises three figures, a cowled figure, the hangman, who appears like ‘Death’ before the two resigned martyrs with hands clasped, one holding the hangman’s gaze in a defiant manner. Unsurprisingly Frink’s work is often compared to work by Rodin and the textural surface of these figures also suggests a link with the work of Giacometti, however this work is unmistakably her own at her most confident and monumental.

551 CHARLES SPOONER FOR ELMDON & CO: An Arts and Crafts oak Dresser, the upper section with three shelves flanked by panelled cupboards, the base with an arrangement of four panelled cupboard doors with typical arts and crafts handles, with similarly panelled sides. Stamped to the reverse ‘Elmdon London’ and with initials ‘HJSM’, 85” high x 79” wide.

See illustration.

£3,000 - 5,000

Provenance: Charles Spooner at his home Eyot Cottage where he lived from 1892 until his death in 1938. The dresser remained at the property until his widow died in 1949 at which time the property, with the dresser, were sold to the current vendors parents.

Notes: Charles Spooner (1862 - 1938) was famously described by Charles Ashbee as one of the figures with which the Arts and Crafts movement would be most readily identified in years to come, in saying this he ranked Spooner alongside Lethaby, Barnsely and Gimson.

Unfortunately Spooners reputation has not grown at the same rate as some of his contemporaries despite a clear personal style and an architectural career that spanned some fifty years.

Elmdon & Co. were furniture makers at 1 Ravenscourt Park, Hammersmith, London W. They specialised in manufacturing modern furniture and fittings, often to architects designs, and they endeavoured to produce work that harmonised with traditional furniture but did not copy it. The designs were to satisfy the requirements of good taste ‘without the enrichment in the form of carving, inlay, or painting, … We aim at producing well-designed and well-made furniture..’ The firm is best remembered through a small catalogue ‘A catalogue of furniture made

by Elmdon & Co at 1 Ravesnourt Park Hammersmith London. From designs by Charles Spooner& Arthur J.Penty’, undated but almost certainly dating to c1906.

The dresser illustrated as Design No5. In this catalogue is almost certainly the dresser offered for sale here (see above). It is one of the most striking items in the catalogue and shows a clear debt to the Cotswold School of Arts and Crafts furniture production whilst showing an informed understanding of, and respect for traditional English cabinet work of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Spooner established his own architectural practice in 1891 producing some fine domestic work as well as establishing a reputation for fine ecclesiastical work. Like many of his contemporaries Spooner felt that furniture design was an integral part of his work describing furniture making as ‘the finest and most finished of the building crafts’.

David and Pamela Sylvester strolling the streets of Paris, Summer 1950

Until Alberto’s death in 1966, Diego had largely been in the shadow of his elder brother, as a technical assistant in the production of Alberto’s bronze sculptures and a collaborator in the design of a range of household furnishings produced for interior decorator Jean-Michel Frank in the 1930’s. In his book ‘Giacometti: A Biography’, James Lord describes the beginnings of an autonomous Diego: ‘It was in the early fifties that Diego began making the bronze furniture for which he would finally be famous.

The objects made for Jean-Michel Frank had never included tables, chairs, large items…Because Diego had little work of his own to sell, he had few clients. His friends told their friends. The first happy few advertised their satisfaction. Gradually a clientele began to grow, with the result that one day a perfect stranger in search of an authentic Diego presented himself unannounced…

In the passageway he chanced upon Diego himself, who inquired his business. The stranger said, “Are you Monsieur Giacometti?”

To which Diego replied, “No. You will find him in the Café at the corner of rue Didot’.

David Sylvester (1924-2001) and Pamela Sylvester enjoyed a long relationship with the brothers Alberto and Diego Giacometti.

A first trip to Paris in 1947 and curious about Alberto’s peculiar new figure sculptures, David Sylvester secured a visit to Alberto Giacometti’s studios through his friend Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler.

There began a relationship which would see David Sylvester, in his role as critic, author, friend and patron, curate and review exhibitions of Alberto’s work , gathering together in the process, the bones and flesh of his acclaimed book ‘Looking at Giacometti’. His wife Pamela Sylvester was crucial in translating David’s interviews with Alberto and Diego Giacometti as he acknowledges in the book: ‘…my oldest debts are to …Pamela Sylvester, who from 1950 on shared many of my meetings with Giacometti, gave help with research and, above all, drafted translations of passages from his writings and interviews, including all of my own interviews with him’. Such was the regard that the Giacometti brothers had for David and Pamela Sylvester, that in the summer of 1960, Alberto Giacometti embarked on a portrait of David, who sat more than twenty times for the artist.

As a symbol of gratitude for the recognition David and Pamela Sylvester had given his work, Diego gifted this chair to the couple shortly after the design for the chair was first conceived, between 1963 and 1965. Housed at the Sylvester’s London home, the proportions of the chair and it’s unfussy yet organic lines, were enriched by the multiple Francis Bacon studies, de Koonig drawings and eclectic Primitive and Islamic work of art they amassed during their marriage.

Today, Diego Giacometti is considered in his own right as one of the 20th century’s most important sculptural designers. Over 50 pieces of his furniture can be found in the Picasso Museum in Paris and many more embellish the homes of American and European collectors.

Duke’s A UCTIONEERS SINCE 1 8 2 3

Glossary of Cataloguing Terms The auctioneers are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction and will provide condition reports on request. If you require clarification of any terms employed in the catalogue please do not hesitate to seek advice. The auctioneers are also 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 (ie. “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be. (ie. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice.

With 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 inspect personally any items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation.

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

The use of onverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connetion with a signature, or inscription (ie. signed “Nicholas Chevalier”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand.

Artist’s Resale Right From mid February 2006 living artists are entitled by law to receive a resale royalty each time their work is resold by or to an art market professional. From 1st January 2012 the Right has been extended to include sales of works by artists who have died within the last 70 years (following the existing term of copyright). Royalties will be payable to the families and beneficiaries of these artists. An art work must be resold for more than 1,000 Euros to qualify for the right.

(2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing from you to us on any account whatever without regard to any directions of you or your agent, whether express or implied.

(3) The Auctioneer may require a deposit of 5% of the hammer price immediately. If the buyer is unable to meet this requirement to the Auctioneer’s satisfaction they reserve the right to cancel the sale immediately.

7 TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any Lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due.

(2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 3 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment after which you shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges.

(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.

8 REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the seller and on our own behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the Lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs).

THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements. Accordingly neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury (except as required by law by reason of our negligence) or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to or at a sale.

10 COMMISSION BIDS Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so save where such failure is unreasonable. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made.

11 WARRANTY OF TITLE AND AVAILABILITY The seller warrants to the auctioneer and you that the seller is the true owner of the property consigned or is properly authorised by the true owner to consign it for sale and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.

13 TERMS OF SALE The seller acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the Lot. 14 DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, 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 shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”.

(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.

15 FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the Lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

16 GENERAL

We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

(1) any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.

(2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.

(3) Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail or Swiftmail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.

(4) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue.

(5) Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.

(6) English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.

Intending purchasers are asked to instruct their bank to contact the Auctioneer’s bank (Natwest, 49 South Street, Dorchester) as early as possible, to confirm clearance in writing up to a stated maximum amount to ensure that a cheque will be accepted on sale day.

A Banker’s Draft, a Building Society cheque or cash will be required to allow removal of goods on sale day. Purchasers may not otherwise remove goods until their cheques are cleared by the Auctioneers’ bank.

If they are not removed within 5 working days of the sale the Auctioneers will instruct a carrier to remove them to storage. The Buyer will be responsible for paying the aforementioned carrier all charges incurred and for making arrangements in advance for the removal of items from their store after payment of their charges on production of our reciept for the items.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO BUYERS OF WILDLIFE MATERIAL Property made of or incorporating (irrespective of percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife, including but not limited to, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone and certain species of coral, together with Brazilian rosewood, may require permits or certificates (e.g. a CITES permit) from the relevant regulatory agencies to be exported or imported. Prospective purchasers are also advised that some countries prohibit altogether the importation as well as exportation of such materials.

Accordingly, clients should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on any property with wildlife material if they intend to import the property into another country.

Please note that it is the client’s responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations applying to the export or import of property containing endangered or protected wildlife material. The inability of a client to export or import property containing endangered or protected wildlife material is not a basis for cancellation or rescission of the sale.
