Joseph Farquharson was a landscape painter and is famous for his winter, snow-clad scenes, often enlivened with flocks of sheep. He did a number of works depicting gardens. Bonhams sold a similar sized example for £4,000 on the 14th of October 2020. Lyon and Turnbull sold a strikingly similar, but larger painting on the 4th of December 2020 for £5,500. He was born in Edinburgh, studying under Peter Graham, RA and subsequently at the Board of Manufacture School and RSA, where he exhibited in 1859. He exhibited at the RA from 1873, being elected an ARA in 1900. He studied under Carolus Duran in 1880. In an essay Sickert wrote he expressed that he preferred Farquharson's work to that of Courbet.

In the 1950s and 1960s Tunnicliffe created hundreds of ‘fancy pigeon’ paintings showcasing rare and prized breeds for a series intended to be published in a definitive book on behalf of his friend Thomas Forshaw, who was a fancy pigeon breeder himself. Tunnicliffe visited countless fine breeder collections to observe the birds and also travelled around many of the rural agricultural events such as the Royal Welsh Show to seek out award-winning breeds for his studies.

Despite this prejudice, he went on to prove himself numerous times in combat and chivalry and it was these acts that eventually won both his freedom and Abla’s hand in marriage. Sadly, he was by a poisoned arrow killed during an excursion to escort the 1,000 camels which would have acted as the final gift in order to seal the marriage and as such, he never got to marry the one he loved. £1000-£1500

furniture & works of Art

thomAs henry kendAll mAster crAftsmAn 1837-1919 Thomas Henry Kendall (1837-1919) is, perhaps, not as well known today as he was in life and so when looking at his many achievements and accolades, one can’t help feeling that he ought to be ranked alongside nearcontemporaries Christopher Dresser, William Damorgan or William Morris in terms of stature. Not that he was in any way associated with the Arts & Crafts movement but he was, nevertheless, a great artist, craftsman and designer, one of the key exponents of the Warwick school of wood carving. Fashion and taste today place huge emphasis on those practitioners in Morris’s orbit but much less on the men and women who produced the majority of Victorian decorative objects in the prevailing taste of the day.

Kendall was born on 23 November 1837, the fourth of seven sons, to William Kendall in the village of Kineton.

William was, himself, an interesting character and worthy of his own biography, having played a key role in the building of Birmingham Town Hall to the design of architects Hansom and Welch (Hansom also being the inventor of the Hansom Carriage), but at the time of Thomas’s birth he was land agent to Lord Willoughby-de-Broke of Compton Verney and latterly also for the Lucy’s at Charlecote Hall, now part of the National Trust. These connections played a key part in the development of Thomas’s career as they afforded him access to an enviable address book of clients.

In his youth, Thomas assisted his father in his work, copying and annotating architectural plans. Such was his early blossoming skill as a draughtsman that when his father acquired a 17th century church Bible with the last two chapters of the book of Revelations missing, Thomas meticulously reproduced them by hand with pen and ink to match the Old English type (see lot 240, the Kendall Bible).

So perfectly written were these pages that they were almost impossible to distinguish from the original printing.

Thomas was apprenticed to the wood carver J.M.Wilcox and after a period of arduous menial work was eventually entrusted with a chisel. One of his first commissions, along with fellow apprentice G.W.R.Humphriss, was carrying out the intricate carving on a magnificent sideboard or buffet for Charlecote Hall in 1858. The piece was much praised at the time, described by John Ruskin as being ‘worthy of Michaelangelo’ but it was to be Wilcox’s last significant commission. Barely eighteen months later he died, accidentally or intentionally, having fallen head-first into a water butt at his home.

William Kendall was able to buy Wilcox’s business for his son, Thomas, then aged twenty-two, who quickly established his place as a premier wood carver with a string of wealthy and influential clients and a series of awards

82

and accolades to his name. Among some of his celebrated commissions was an extensive suite of carved furniture for Sir Charles Mordaunt of Walton Hall, the richly carved library and dining room at Shotover near Oxford, the library, staircase and other interior features at Welcombe Hall in Stratford-upon-Avon and many ecclesiastical works including choir stalls and lecterns for several Welsh and English churches. Perhaps his most high-profile work was a series of thirty-two carved panels for the member’s dining room at the House of Commons, carried out from 1872 onwards. This commission was won having been invited to submit designs in competition with other venerable sculptors. Kendall’s panels depicted game, wild flowers, sealife, fruits and vegetables and remain in place today.

His studio and showrooms in Warwick were visited several times by Royalty and it is recorded that The Duke of Edinburgh attended in 1883 and was presented with a carved aneroid barometer frame which he later often lent for exhibition, so delighted was he with it. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by a large retinue, visited on two occasions, first in 1892 and then again in 1895. Such had become his renown as a premier wood carver that the Royal Academy relaxed its rules on admitting works in wood in order to include Kendall’s entries which became a regular fixture from the 1870s onwards.

Today Kendall’s achievements are, somewhat unfairly, overlooked compared with some of his contemporaries.

Perhaps because his work has been eclipsed by that of the Arts & Crafts movement and the more stylised forms of Art Nouveau and Secessionism which, certainly in the last thirty years, have captured much more attention among collectors and connoisseurs. And when the Chapel Street studio and showrooms were demolished in 1957, and the contents, which had remained largely untouched since Kendall’s death in 1919, dispersed, it was at a time when the fussiness of high Victorian art was at a very low ebb in popularity. But one couple, the parents of our present vendor, recognised the quality in all his work, sufficient to purchase a good proportion of the interior including many architectural features. While some of these were exhibited and subsequently sold at Sotheby’s Chester rooms in 19834, the balance of the collection is presented here by Halls Fine Art. In 1900, while Kendall was still at full power, The Biographer magazine wrote eloquently about his life and work, surmising “The time will undoubtedly come, perhaps long after the artist has passed away, when his works will be eagerly competed for by connoisseurs.” Surely that day has come.

holy bible, robert bArker, 1613/1611.

Second folio edition of the King James Bible, commonly known as the Great She Bible. Black letter with large typeface, printed in double columns with 59 lines to a full column. Complete with general title, New Testament title and double-page map of Canaan by More & Speed.

Includes Apocrypha. With the reading ‘she’ in Ruth 3 v.15, and with a tipped-in slip correcting the ‘Judas’ for ‘Jesus’ error in Matthew 26 v.36.

Worn mid-nineteenth century blind-stamped calf, red edges. Footnote: What is extraordinary about this copy is that the last two and a half pages of the book of Revelations were missing from the book, so in 1850 Thomas Kendall, when only 13 years of age, using a pen and Indian ink, copied out the missing pages in perfect facsimile. Kendall’s work starts from the last few words of Revelations 20 v. 12 and goes on to the end, including the tailpiece. The calligraphy is such a superb copy of the old black letter typeface that it is virtually impossible to distinguish from the printed page. The only discernible difference is that the ruled border surrounding the page is slightly thinner. The paper used for the last two leaves is slightly heavier stock. Herbert 319. Printing and the Mind of Man 114.

240

Footnote: The bible was purchased in or before 1850 by William Kendall, an architect and building surveyor of Warwickshire. His son, Thomas Henry Kendall (1837-1919), the noted wood carver of Warwick, came to be regarded as the doyen of British wood carvers. As a boy he was frequently put to work copying plans and documents for his father. In 1850, when only 13 years of age, he copied out the last two and a half pages of the bible, which were missing from the book his father had bought. The bible and its history is recalled in articles on Thomas Kendall in The Biographer and Review, August 1900, and in The Gentleman’s Journal and Gentlewoman’s Court Review, August 27th 1910, where Kendall himself shows the bible to a journalist in response to a question asking to be shown some of his earliest work. Photocopies of these articles are included with the lot. The bible was exhibited in Warwick at the coronation celebrations in June 1911 and at Sotheby’s, Chester, in 1983. £10000-£15000 91

Attributed to the pAnormo school (edwArd ferdinAnd pAnormo) An english violoncello (cello), circa 1830, with bow and a later case, 29.5” body.

Footnote: This piece is consigned with correspondence dating from 1932 - 1996. August 19th, 1932, a hand written letter addressed to a previous owner, by Louis H Maby, Violin Maker & Dealer, 14 Lower Arcade, Bristol 1, "I have examined the cello you left with me and in my opinion it is a Panormo, youth Panormo (son of Vincent Panormo), London, about 1830". A further typed letter dated 2nd April 1971 by Mr. Robert Raeburn, violin maker, restorer and expert, of The Rectory, Toft, Cambridge, reads "I certify that the Violoncello in the possession of [current vendor] is in my judgement the work of the Panormo family.

The instrument is not labelled but can probably be attributed to Edward Ferdinand Panormo of London and Brighton, grandson of Vincenzo Trusiano Panormo. I date it at circa 1830 - 40. It is possible that it is a composite instrement: the back and sides being considerably older than the top and probably the work of Vincenzo Panormo. Descriptiopn: The back in two pieces of 'fiercely' grained maple cut on the slab. The table of medium grained pine. Head and sides of medium 'flamed' maple. The varnish: table of reddish colour. Back and sides of golden-brown. The Violoncello is in a good stage of preservation. I value it at £400". A later hand written letter by J.R Geach, Luthier, 15 Market Square, Bishoip's Castle, Salop, dated July 28th 1987, addressed to the current vendor " Having today examined the viloncello belonging to [current vendor] and having certification dated 1932 and 1971, I am able to say that the instrument, unlabelled, is of the Panormo family or school, and that it dates from the first third of the 19th century.

The instrument s in good playing condition but not in a contemporary state of show-room repair. The current price of which such an article changes hands is £4,500" Together with a Halls property receipt dated 1996 and a Sotheby's property report dated 2nd August 1996, detailing an estimate of £3,000 - £5,000. £2500-£3000

It is common to find the canted corners of these late 18th century chests showing blind fretwork, but unusual to find them inlaid.

importAnt notice to jewellery buyers Prospective buyers please note that lots marked with ◉ may be subject to VAT on the hammer price.

Prospective buyers please note that we do not guarantee amber as being naturally formed and all or parts may be reconstituted. The colour of the amber may vary from the catalogue or online illustration.

All yellow and white metals have not been tested.

The International Jewellery Trade generally accept these methods. It is not possible for Halls to obtain gemmological reports on all stones offered for sale and therefore all Halls Holding’s estimates assume that gemstones have been enhanced.
