Antiques By Gaynor Clements
AN INTRODUCTION TO ANTIQUES
I
f the growing number of television programmes is anything to go by, antiques the hunt for them, their identification, their history and the hopes of the financial returns they can bring - have never been more fascinating to the general public. It seems that many of us really do harbour dreams of finding a Turner in the attic or a Ming vase at the car boot sale. But do the likes of Bargain Hunt, Antiques Road Trip and Flog It foster unrealistic expectations about the worth of old household ephemera? Is now, the middle of a recession, a good time to buy that Chippendale chair? Can you expect to make any real return on an investment in antiques, and if so, what kind of thing should you be buying? What, realistically, should be the aims and ambitions of collectors of antiques? So many questions, but let’s start with the most fundamental: what exactly qualifies as an antique? Some people will tell you that it is anything over a hundred years old, but as Kate Lee of Blyburgate Antiques in Beccles says, “Just because something is old it doesn’t mean it’s nice. There’s an awful lot of old rubbish kicking around.” A sentiment echoed by John Harbottle, proprietor of Lomax Fairs, organisers of well-established antiques fairs in East Anglia. “Old isn’t necessarily good,” he says. “The hundred year old definition isn’t really relevant any more. The timeline has become a bit blurred, and there are no hard and fast rules,
Fabulous sculpture and paintings from Muse Sculpture and Neptune Fine Art at The Snape Maltings Antiques & Fine Art Fair
but to qualify as an antique, a piece - especially furniture ought to be pre1900, original and of good quality.” Aesthetics are also a major consideration, which of course is more subjective.
from the ever-popular Beswick or Royal Crown Derby china, to glassware, postcards, coins and silverware. Then there’s ‘vintage’, a term that is used loosely to describe jewellery, clothes, bags and trinkets that are more likely to be twentieth century in origin. The trick is to collect what you like. As Kate Lee says, “Stick with your taste and go with your instinct and it will all come together. That’s the exciting thing about antiques and collectables.” Both John and Kate agree that the thrill and excitement of finding that one thing that no-one else has is what drives dealers and amateurs alike. “Like any treasure hunter, that’s what keeps you going; it’s like buying a lottery ticket, you never know what’s going to turn up,” says John.
Just because something is old it doesn’t mean it’s nice Something might not actually qualify as an antique, but it can still fall into the category of ‘collectable’. This term tends to cover objects that are probably not at the higher end of the antiques market, but which are still desirable and, indeed, coveted by many. “Because people are more and more aware of the value of things, genuine antiques are getting scarcer and scarcer, but collectables are still accessible and more affordable,” says John Harbottle. ‘Collectables’ covers a whole range of articles,
While hunting down antiques and collectables and truffling for those vintage finds might fulfil the magpie instinct in some of us, most people want to think that their outlay will bring them some financial return over time. Kate Lee thinks that people’s expectations have been unrealistically raised by programmes such as Bargain Hunt. She advises that finding real bargains or treasure is a matter of both instinct and knowledge and that these pre-requisites cannot be bypassed.

AN INTRODUCTION TO ANTIQUES
“It takes a long time to build up that knowledge but it can be great fun and hugely rewarding in the process,” she says. Any dealer will tell you that, unless you are Charles Saatchi, you should buy because a piece pleases you, rather than for purely financial motives. If the picture you buy ends up trebling in value that’s wonderful, but in the meantime you have to hang it on your wall, and if it doesn’t appreciate in value you are stuck with something you dislike and which you probably can’t sell for fear of making a loss. If you are buying purely for investment, stick to stocks and shares. So where should you go to indulge your passion for pre-war pincushions? There are obviously many antique centres and dealers in the region, as well as auction houses and flea markets. Again, the trick is not to be shy, but to have a dialogue with the dealer, who may share your passion, but even if he or she doesn’t they will be able to give you the likely origin and other information about the piece you are interested in. A dealer is likely to have many years’ experience and a hoard of knowledge and will welcome an opportunity to share it. Seek out antiques fairs and street markets as well as the established premises. While markets and fairs are likely to involve a bit more digging to uncover your coveted piece, the corollary is that communication between buyers and sellers is often more free than in the confines of a swanky shop. In addition, the stallholders may have lower overheads than shop owners and their prices can reflect this.

Where and how you buy can affect the remedies and redress available to you in the event that you have been sold a pup rather than a Palissy. Many dealers are members of the British Antique Dealers Association or the London and Provincial Antique Dealers Association, both of which offer conciliation services if a dispute with a member dealer arises. But not all dealers are members and conciliation is just that; the Associations are not bound or, indeed, able to offer a disappointed customer any other kind of legal redress. However, all transactions of this nature are covered by the Trade Descriptions Act 1968 which makes it illegal to knowingly or recklessly apply false descriptions to goods. In addition, “many antique fairs are ‘vetted’, which means that a committee, often self-appointed from the fair’s participants them-
selves, have checked all the merchandise on offer in order to verify that it is what it says it is,” says Duncan Phillips of press and public relations firm, Antiques PR. “What the committee is looking out for are reproductions that are being passed off, deliberately or otherwise, as the real McCoy.” However, be aware that some of the really large fairs are selling such vast amounts of stuff that it would be impracticable, if not impossible, to check the authenticity of every single item. If a customer is disgruntled they may have recourse to BADA or LAPADA or the Trade Descriptions Act, but the most likely, practical and speedy outcome is that the customer will take the item back to the dealer and demand a refund. “Most dealers are honest and careful of their reputations, so if they have made a mistake about provenance, and mistakes do happen, they will be only too willing to refund someone’s money,” says Kate Lee. Auction houses operate on the basis of ‘caveat emptor’ - or ‘let the buyer beware.’ The buyer buys ‘as seen’ which means that unless the description is fraudulent or negligent there is no legal comeback against the auction house. If you have a dispute about something purchased at auction, they will put you in touch with the seller.

AN INTRODUCTION TO ANTIQUES
As Jonathan Law of Cambridge auctioneers, Cheffins, explains, “If someone has been sold a chair described as George III but which turns out not to be, then we would give the buyer a refund. Caveat emptor is there to protect the auction house in the event that a piece has been chopped and changed or restored, so that its originality is compromised. Auction houses need some protection because of the impracticality of checking the huge quantities of items sold in any one sale. However, it is because of these quantities and the absence of overheads that the buyer enjoys an attendant discount on prices compared with those sold in a shop. It is a trade-off.” Don’t let any of these potential pitfalls dampen your enthusiasm though. There is much satisfac-

would be hard pressed to find something handcrafted of equivalent value and uniqueness at your average department store, and they’re always going to be worth something afterwards,”
It’s good to be different and quirky tion to be had, whether you are browsing for your latest piece of Beswick or are looking for a substantial piece of furniture to grace your living space. There is also an increasingly compelling case for investing in a good piece of furniture with a bit of history, which will endure and which is intrinsically more appealing than the modern fare on offer from most mass-produced furniture retailers. So what are the top tips? “Old oak Regency and Victorian furniture can be well-made, great value pieces. You can pick up something like a really nice table or cabinet for a couple of hundred pounds. I think you

says John Harbottle. Individuality and quirkiness are qualities that many people, and increasingly younger folk, are on the lookout for these days. Ten years ago, costume jewellery was sneered at, but nowadays the good stuff, such as pieces by Gustavo Trifari and Miriam Haskell, are worth more than their gold equivalents. “More than ever these days, people seem to value the fact that they don’t have the same stuff as everybody else; it’s good to be different and quirky,” says Kate Lee. This experience is shared by other dealers. Stephen Hunt of Cambs Antiques Centre, Dales Brewery,
Cambridge, finds that “ten years ago our client base was from the fifty plus age range, but now our clients are typically in their thirties. Younger families are seeing the benefits of buying good quality furniture that they can take with them as they upgrade their homes; furniture that isn’t made of chipboard and which won’t lose its screws and fall apart when it is dismantled.” The recession appears not to have affected this trend for buying furniture that is made to last. People are cottoning on to the fact that value for money isn’t just about price, it’s also about durability and being able to pass on the good pieces. Stephen Hunt has recently had his best year ever in terms of sales. As he points out, “it is worth remembering, in these straightened times, that antiques are totally VAT-free, whereas modern furniture carries the increased levy of twenty percent VAT’. Jonathan Law advises to ‘buy the best you can afford. If you have two thousand pounds to spend, buy one thing for that amount rather than four things for five hundred pounds.” Whatever your passion turns out to be; whether you develop a love of Lalique, a passion for paperweights or a yen for Yatate, be true to your tastes, do your research and pick the brains of the dealers who have been on the scene for years. Most important of all - have fun in finding your treasures, and focus on banking knowledge, not notes.

LAPADA - THE ASOCIATION OF ART & ANTIQUES DEALERS
Interior design with Antiques
G
ood design is timeless. The age of a welldesigned building, chair, carpet, cup and saucer or candlestick is irrelevant to its beauty or functionality. Similarly welldesigned objects from any period will harmonise and complement one another. The design and decoration of anyone’s home is a very personal expression and no two people’s taste is identical. The interior designer who is known for a certain ‘look’ and is therefore employed by those who admire that ‘look’ still finds that clients want to stamp their own identity on it and to know that their home is unique. While ‘unique’ is a very over-used word, it really does apply to virtually all antiques and works of art and the combination of ultra-modern design and antique pieces can create a stunning effect with the added advantage that no-one else can re-create it, as they are unlikely to find identical antiques. This element of exclusivity has great appeal to anyone who prefers to enjoy their own individual design look. Imagine a stark, clean, modern interior with just one eye-catching piece such as a Chinese coromandel lacquer screen in a corner; a dining room with a glass dining table and steel-framed chairs and a large still life of fruit and vegetables or fish or game by a Victorian artist hanging on the wall; a contemporary side table with a medieval wood carving on it and a magnificent 18th century gilt mirror above, or a 20th century sculpture placed on an 18th century commode. The combinations are endless, the ‘look’ is unique; the choice is yours. Another major advantage to buying an antique is that over time it will hold its value. While it is not sensible to buy any antique or work of art solely as an investment, and the love of the piece and the pleasure it will bring should be the prime motivation for buying, historically art and antiques have increased in value in the long term. Conversely, most new objects or pieces of furniture lose their value and become ‘second-hand’ as soon as they are taken home and unpacked.

The LAPADA website www.lapada.org is a mine of useful information. You can find all members geographically or alphabetically but, perhaps more importantly, you can find objects you are looking for on members’ ‘online galleries’. You can also find a list of the best art and antiques fairs in the UK, advice on buying in and exporting from the UK and caring for art and antiques (the latter is also available as a printed booklet). LAPADA can also be contacted at 535 Kings Road, London SW10 0SZ. Telephone: +44 (0)20 823 3511, email: lapada@lapada.org. The office can supply you with a free pocket-sized Directory of Members arranged geographically with an indication of each member’s specialist stock which is very useful for anyone travelling around Britain antique hunting.
LAPADA The Association of Art & Antiques Dealers is the largest association of professional dealers in the UK with over 600 members throughout the country dealing in virtually every discipline from antiquities to contemporary fine art. Every member has to abide by the Association’s strict Code of Practice which, together with the consumer laws which apply to all dealers, gives confidence to the buyer. The East Anglian region is rich in antiques shops; around 25 dealers here are members of LAPADA. Spend a day visiting towns such as Norwich, Holt, or Bury St Edmunds, all of which boast a good selection of antiques shops. Get to know dealers in your area, whose taste you like. Develop a relationship with them, as dealers are happy to seek out specific items to your requirements, and can give invaluable advice on authenticity, value and restoration.
For those who find themselves keen on collecting or learning more seriously about certain areas of antiques or art, then finding a LAPADA dealer that specialises in your field of interest can be highly beneficial. Good dealers are enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and are happy to share their years of experience.

Later pieces - often produced in England or Germany in response to growing demand - suffered from lower standards of workmanship. Although later pieces tend to attract less money than earlier examples, they remain desirable and can fetch hundreds of pounds. A signature will also add value. Most of the jewellery is unmarked, but makers such as Sangster of Aberdeen and J.P Hutton marked their wares.

ESSEX ANTIQUE DEALERS ASSOCIATION
T
he Essex Antiques Dealers Association (EADA) was founded in May 1996 primarily because of concerns about the implications of The Sale of Goods Act in relation to (amongst others) the Antiques Trade and the introduction of stricter Trading Standard regulations. The Antiques Trade generally was receiving bad press in relation to the low level of professionalism within the trade at this time amongst certain quarters, which led to mistrust and a lack of confidence amongst the buying public. Action was therefore needed to improve the perception and trust of the Public in regional areas and within the Antiques trade generally and thus the EADA was formed to cover those bona fide professional Dealers operating within the county of Essex. In this regard, common terms of good business practice were agreed and approved with amongst others, the Trade generally and Essex Standards Office. From formation, the Essex Antique Dealers Association, which is a non-profit making organization, has gone from strength to strength, and now provides the general public and the Trade alike the trust and satisfaction of knowing that if
The Essex Antique Dealers Association is an exciting and varied mix of individual dealers; specializing in antiques, arts and collectable’s, dedicated to fair trading, professionalism and friendly advice in all aspects of acquiring and owning antiques and collectable’s for the traditional and modern home. they are buying or dealing from a Dealer who is a registered member of the EADA, they can deal with confidence with that person or company, fully assured that they are members of a recognized Trade association and subject to a strict code-of-practice in relation to their dealings per se. In addition to regulating and enforcing a strict code of practice that all members of the EADA are subject to, it also provides help, advice and assistance to Dealers as well as to their customers, potential or otherwise, and other interested parties as when required and called upon to do so; not only in relation to regulation, but also in connection
with the promotion and support of Members’ individual trades and businesses. This includes an annual ‘Directory of Members’ issued each year along with other services and benefits offered, which includes networking, valuations and sourcing of individual items, vetting of Members stock, repairs, restorations and general advice. The EADE operates via an annually elected Committee that holds regular meetings throughout the year to, amongst other things, discuss, act on and deal with the Business of the EADA. As expected, the Association requires and expects all its members to comply with the EADA’s objects, codes of practiced introduced and to deal properly, professionally, honestly and fairly with their customers, whether trade of private. In addition, embers are also expected to uphold and comply with Trading Standards and Regulations from time to time in force. Before becoming Members, they and their stock is vetted, a process that is checked periodically to ensure that Standards of quality and description are maintained. If they don’t, and members are found to be trading dishonestly or improperly, then their membership will be immediately terminated, withdrawn and disciplinary measures may be taken.
Should you have any questions or matters you wish to discuss regarding the EADA, or if you are a dealer and would like to become a member, please contact Graham Hessell, who himself trades as Bumpstead Antiques & Interiors at Steeple Bumpstead, Essex and who is currently Chairman of the Association as well as being one of the Vetting and membership Officers, on 07710 282329 or 01440 73188.

ANTIQUE FOCUS
BY JUDITH MILLER
Netsuke
N
etsuke are superbly detailed miniature carvings from Japan, many of which ended up in the West after a fascination for them developed in Europe during the 19th century. Pockets and pouches not being part of their traditional dress, Japanese men developed dedicated paraphernalia for keeping accessories about their person. These 'sagemono', literally ‘hanging objects’, were usedto store essentials and trinkets, and took a variety of forms. The ‘inro’, for example, was a series of stacked boxes used for carrying medicines and cosmetics, while the ‘kinchhaku’ was a purse for coins andthe ‘tabakoire’ held tobacco. A number of these cases would be suspended from the ‘obi’ - the belt that tied the traditional kimono. The netsuke acted as both fastener and counterweight, securing the whole ensemble inplace. Women had no need for any of this, as the wider sleeves of their gowns could accommodate small possessions. Stringent sumptuary laws passed in the Edo period imposed severe restrictions on private expenditure, regulating everything from beards to hairpins. Netsuke provided a relatively inconspicuous way to circumvent these edicts and they became one of the few outlets for any expression of individual prosperity. Affluent merchants fuelled a golden age of netsuke design, which peaked towards the end of the 17th century. Craftsmen who had previously madenetsuke as a sideline to showcase their skills now became dedicated to the art, and some even signed their work so the names of buddha netsuke made of Mammoth ivory from the masters like Masanao, Toyomasa and Netsuke collection on Masatsugu are known to us today. www.ivoryandart.com

Around half of the netsuke made at this time were carved from ivory - the best examplesare hewn from a single piece although many other materials such as tortoiseshell, boxwood, antler, amber and ceramic were used to equal effect. Some, especially those predating the Edo period, incorporate or are made entirely from silver or precious stones. Among most popular types were ‘katabori’ figural netsuke and those that replicated in miniature the masks used in
traditional Japanese Noh plays, although designs could be inspired by almost any subject from the natural or supernatural world. Netsuke can be bought for a few hundred pounds, although ivory pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries regularly sell for between GBP1,000-2,000. Those made with more valuable materials are worth more - inset diamonds or rubies, for example, can add a further GBP2,000 to this figure. Figures upwards of
GBP15,000 are not uncommon for the most sought-after pieces, such as those that date from the earlier days of the Edo period. Netsuke invariably appear at auctions of Oriental art, although it is probably best to approach a specialist dealer for help in acquiring the best examples as there are many fakes and reproductions on the market. Be particularly wary of ivorine an ivory substitute that often lacks the dark striations visible in genuine ivory.

Owner Chris Papworth has wide contacts throughout the trade and all major antique fairs; he monitors auctions and has runners who buy for him on the continent, which enables him to offer one of the best selections of antique clocks and watches in the country. As Chris says, a well chosen antique clock will add the finishing touch to any home – a school clock for the kitchen, a bracket clock, a French mantle clock or one of the many wall clocks in the lounge or sitting room. A fine small longcase/grandfather clock will fit even a modern hall. The sight and sound of an antique clock not only makes a house a home but becomes part of the family – perhaps for generations to come. All the clocks are genuine, guaranteed, easily managed and come with advice to help the owners enjoy them. Chris, with over 45 years’ experience, is a member of the British Watch and Clockmakers Guild, the British Horological Institute and the Essex Antique Dealers Association.

ANTIQUE FOCUS
Worth its weight in glass
D
espite the wealth and fame that paperweights brought to the French town of Baccarat, they were originally produced there for only around 15 years, between 1845-1860. This short period saw the status of the paperweight raised from functional object to decorative item, without which no desk was complete. Baccarat paperweights typically feature scattered or close-packed millefiori canes - the word comes from the Italian meaning “a thousand flowers”. The town’s glassworkers became highly skilled in forming thelong cylinders of coloured glass from which the canes were cut. Early Baccarat weights can often be identified from signature and date canes that were sometimes included amid the millefiori decoration. Other decorative specialities included the intricate depiction of flowers, such as anemones or other motifs in coloured glass. The ‘Gridel’ silhouette, unique to Baccarat paperweights, is another distinctive feature. These tiny animal forms were named after a young boy whose paper cut-outs inspired his
uncle, a Baccarat executive, to canes, or particularly desirable Gridel silhouettes such as the try something similar in glass. swan on an aqua The production of blue ‘water’ Baccarat paperAn 1850s Baccarat cane. weights was 'Anemone' paperweight resumed from the
mid1950s, but most collectors find the original 19th century pieces far mor desirable. Prices start at around GBP400 but amounts topping GBP5,000 are paid for older examples with especially tightly packed millefiori
Outsize weights are also popular, from the large ‘magnum’ size to miniature models. Glass sales such as those held at Lyon & Turnbull will often include paperweights.

ANTIQUES DEALER

John Beazor Antiques, Cambridge
ohn Beazor Antiques in Cambridge is one of the longest established antique dealing firms in the UK. “I regard myself as very fortunate to work with fine furniture, which I greatly enjoy,” says Martin Beazor, the forth generation of his family to be in the business. “We are known for our fine English 18th and early 19th century furniture, as well as clocks and barometers. Most of our pieces are made from walnut, mahogany or rosewood: wood is a wonderful material with fine figuring and detail and we look for patination and surface, acquired over many years. We are known for our selectivity and attention to detail and it is that which sets us apart from others.” Most of the furniture stocked has a practical use; dining tables, chairs, bookcases, desks and tallboys. The furniture is bought and sold on the basis of its originality, condition and colour. John Beazor Antiques are members of the British Antiques Dealers’ Association and as such all goods are sold with a fully descriptive invoice and guarantee. Martin says, “I strongly believe that if someone is spending good money on something, they want to be assured that it is absolutely right and in a condition ready to go into their home.” John Beazor Antiques was established in Great Yarmouth in 1875 and moved to their current
showrooms in Regent Street, Cambridge in 1940 where their premises have become a land mark. Beazors is well known throughout Britain, and while most of the business is local to East Anglia they have a national and international clientele. Beazors have an enviable reputation but Martin believes in moving the business forward. Each year they have a shop Open Day in November and also show at the prestigious BADA Fair in London every March, where Martin is a member of the Furniture Vetting Committee. Since 2000 Beazors have had a website, which is now an important part of their business. “Our website helps potential customers to take a look at us and helps to establish contact and many good business relationships have grown out of it.” Martin believes that in times of uncertainty and rising inflation people look to spend their money wisely. “New furniture has increased considerably in price over the last few years and antique furniture is very competitively priced at the moment. My experience suggests that you should always buy the best that you can afford as it will always have good future value. Many of my customers enjoy antique furniture for its beauty and quality; they delight in the fact that their furniture is unique and gives them timeless pleasure”. Antique dealers are not known for being trend setters but they have been ‘green’ for many generations!
