Provenance: Winifred Bacon, Stanthope Gardens Kensington, SW7
Frances Bacon, 7 Reece Mews, South Kensington, SW7 and at Dale Farm, Suffolk.
John Edwards, heir to Francis Bacon,
and thence by decent
39
7 Reece Mews, South Kensington was the modest London home and studio of Francis Bacon. It was from this small one bedroom Victorian mews house that Bacon painted some of his most famous works and entertained many of his influential friends including Lucien Freud and Frank Auerbach.
The service was given to Bacon by his sister, Winifred, before her death in 1981 for use at Reece Mews. However, according to David Edwards, brother of Bacon's heir John Edwards, the service was removed from Reece Mews in 1985 as Bacon felt there was simply no need for such a large a large and smart service at the tiny apartment. Subsequently, it was sent to his country retreat, Dale Farm, Suffolk where it has remained until the present day.

The John Walden Collection of Chinese Ceramics: Part II Hong Kong colonial officer, democracy advocate, gentleman, and art collector.
of Cizhou and Jizhou wares (lots 261-271) which exhibit the stunning range of glazes developed by potters at these kiln sites during the Song Dynasty. Walden looked at each pot on its own merit and was thus quite happy to collect pieces of a later date which he nonetheless found beautiful.
John Walden was a key figure in the political life of Hong Kong during the second half of the twentieth century. His career began in 1951 when he joined the British Colonial Administration. Over the years he served as a District Officer, Justice of Peace, worked within the Housing Department and Colonial Secretariat, and finally became Director of Home Affairs. In 1980 he took early retirement in order to become an independent political commentator, activist and author.
As well as this group of ceramics, the auction includes other categories from the collection which are indicated in the catalogue. People who worked with John Walden remarked on his kindness, patience, and concern for individuals. He dedicated his life to serving the Hong Kong people with integrity and was a countercultural voice within the British Administration, calling the government to greater transparency and accountability. He broke with colonial tradition by promoting local people to positions of influence and was totally committed to enabling the Hong Kong people to govern themselves.
In November 2014 Duke’s were honoured to sell Part 1 of the John Walden Collection, which included the principal jade, ceramics, paintings, and other works of art. This second group represents Walden’s wider interest in classic Chinese ceramics. Many of the pieces shown here are of a more recent date but still stand within well-established ceramic traditions. For instance, an intriguing group of Longquan foliate bowls (lots 286-291) serves as a study in the subtle differences between celadon glazes ranging from standard Longquan type to those which evoke the Guan and Ru styles. Also of note are a group
Duke’s have been delighted to handle this collection, which serves both to celebrate John Walden’s love of Chinese art and culture, and his lifelong dedication to the people of Hong Kong.

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. 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 and are not to be taken as statement or representations of fact. Hy. Dukes & Son 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. NICHOLAS CHEVALIER Attributed to NICHOLAS CHEVALIER ... in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.
Manner of NICHOLAS CHEVALIER ... in our opinion a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date.
Studio of NICHOLAS CHEVALIER ... in our opinion a work by an unknown hand, which may have been executed in the studio of the artist.
After NICHOLAS CHEVALIER ... in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist.
Circle of NICHOLAS CHEVALIER ... in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence. Follower of NICHOLAS CHEVALIER ... in our opinion a work executed in the style of the artist but not necessarily by a pupil.
Signed/inscribed/dated NICHOLAS CHEVALIER ... in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist. Bears signature/inscription/date NICHOLAS CHEVALIER ... 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. Dutch School, circa 1700. 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 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. The rates payable are calculated as a percentage of the hammer price and are set out in a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%. The charge is exclusive of VAT. The auctioneers reserve the right to pass all of the cost to the person buying the qualifying art work
JEWELLERY The contents of any gemmological certificates accompanying lots in this sale are not guaranteed by Duke’s Auctioneers 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 Duke’s Auctioneers 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 Duke’s for more clarification on treatment in individual lots. 172 for import by the USA. Items containing rubies or jade/jadeite of Burmese origin are not permitted

(e) Our right to bid on behalf of the seller is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve and the right to refuse any bid is also reserved.
12 AGENCY The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers.

Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by buyers of relevant Lots. *VAT payable at 5.00% on the hammer price and 20% on the buyers premium.
6 PAYMENT (1) Immediately a Lot is sold you will: (a) give to us, if requested, proof of identity, and (b) pay to us the total amount due in cash or in such other way as is agreed by us. (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.

Duke’s A UCTIONEERS SINCE 1 8 2 3
CONDITIONS OF SALE (continued) CHEQUES The Auctioneers regret that they are unable to accept cheques in payment for purchases, except where arrangements have been made beforehand, well in advance of sale day. 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. Live Bidding Duke’s Auctioneers offer an online bidding service via the-saleroom.com for bidders who cannot attend the sale. In completing the bidder registration on www.the-saleroom.com and providing your credit card details (unless alternative arrangements are agreed with Duke’s Auctioneers) you: 1. authorise Duke’s Auctioneers, if they so wish, to charge the credit card given in part or full payment, including all fees, for items successfully purchased in the auction via the-saleroom.com, and 2. confirm that you are authorised to provide these credit card details to Duke’s Auctioneers through www.the-saleroom.com and agree that Duke’s Auctioneers are entitled to ship the goods to the card holder name and card holder address provided in fulfilment of the sale. P lease note that any lots purchased via the-saleroom.com live auction service will be subject to an additional 3% commission charge + VAT at the rate imposed on the hammer price. Clicking the bid button is a commitment to buy. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY Any person or his personal property at or on the auctioneers premises, before, during, or after the auction, shall be deemed to be there at their own risk and will have no claim against the auctioneers in respect of any injury sustained, or accident which may occur. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO BUYERS OF FURNITURE All items are held at the risk of the Buyer. 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.
