TEXTILES & CARPETS

83* Beadwork basket. A rare beadwork basket, English, 1664, large square tray, with trefoil handle to each side, wrapped around with small coloured glass beads on wire (ribbon beneath sometime renewed, and beads washed and re-wired), embellished with later narrow blue ribbon bows, base lined with beaded panel depicting King Ahasuerus receiving Esther, the latter with attendant holding her train, Mordecai beside them, Haman hanging from a gibbet, the citadel of Shushan (Susa), and numerous other symbolic images of flora and fauna, with the initials ‘E.W.’ and the date 1664, beadwork sometime lifted from original backing and carefully relaid onto a new ground of linen-backed cream silk using adhesive and thread, generally a little dusty and some small losses, linen faces of the three main figures lacking their stitched features, size of panel 36.5 x 36cm (14.25 x 14ins), overall size 53 x 52cm (21 x 20.5ins) Provenance: Purchased over twenty years ago by the current owner from an auction of items which came from a major country house in the northwest of England, where it had almost certainly resided since its creation. Baskets such as these are very rare, there being only a relatively small number in existence. It is probable that the conservation work carried out on this piece was executed sometime in the first quarter of the 20th century. The purpose of such trays is not known; it has been suggested that they were made as layette baskets when preparing for the birth of a baby, or for placing gloves or rosemary in at a wedding. However, they may have been intended not as receptacles, but as simply commemorative pieces for a birth or betrothal, or just as decorative table centrepieces. As with silk embroidery, beadwork was a popular pastime for ladies in wealthy households in the seventeenth century, and young girls were instructed in the art of beadwork in the same way that they were taught other forms of embroidery. Similarities between the form of the basket frame in known examples suggest that they could be purchased ready-made for beadwork to be applied. The seventeenth century was a golden age in British embroidery, and large quantities of glass beads were imported from Venice and Amsterdam by English merchants between the 1630s and 1680s. All the examples of beadwork baskets which we have traced appear to date from the 1660s and 1670s. One of the most popular subjects for all types of embroidered objects was the Biblical story of Esther and King Ahasuerus, taken from the seventh chapter of Esther. The imagery of the tale, as well as that of the also oftused story of King Solomon, served as a timely reminder, at the time of the Restoration of Charles II, of the sovereignty and greatness of the King, his graciousness in receiving supplicating subjects, and the dangerous consequences of not honouring the monarchy. It may be that the display of such a large piece of embroidery in a prominent place in a gentleman’s dwelling helped prove the household’s allegiance and devotion to the King. (1) £4000-6000

One of the views is inscribed to verso ‘bought by VCV 1920. H. DUVIEUX’. Duvieux is best known for his delicate impressionist views of Venice and Constantinople which capture the effects of light at different times of the day.

Portrait of a young girl, circa 1830, circular oil on canvas, head and shoulders portrait of a young girl wearing a white shift, her short dark curls crowned with a red-ribboned wreath of Morning Glory flowers, and her cheek resting on her hands clasped atop a column, against a ground of blue sky and two fluttering peacock butterflies, sometime relined, diameter 43cm (17ins), stretcher 46 x 46cm (18 x 18ins), stretcher with impressed stamp ‘W. Morrill Liner’, gilt moulded frame, with remains of label ‘Aitken Dott, Carver and Gilder, 26 South Castle Street [Edinburgh]’ The sitter, with her pretty elfin face, bears a marked resemblance to Lady Gertrude Fitzpatrick (daughter of John FitzPatrick, 2nd Earl of Upper Ossory), who was the subject of Sir Joshua Reynolds’s 1779 painting entitled ‘Collina’, held by Columbus Museum of Art. The present work however is more likely to be a fancy picture than a conventional portrait. The column and butterflies suggest the Greek goddess Psyche, although the girl may also represent a month or season, or simply be a fairy figure. The picture restorer William Morrill (1838-1910) took over his father’s business in 1866, working extensively for the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Royal Collections and other prominent collectors. Dante Gabriel Rossetti described him as ‘skilfull and careful’ and Burne-Jones and Whistler also employed him. The leading Edinburgh firm of Aitken Dott was founded in 1842. It exhibiited and sold work by the leading Scottish artists of the day, as well as carrying out carving, gilding and framing work. The business traded from 26 South Castle Street from 1874 until 1982, and is still in existence today as fine art dealers in Dundas Street, The Scottish Gallery. (1) £2500-3500

165* Flemish School. Head of a bearded male figure in profile, looking right, circa 1650-1675, oil on heavy paper, impressed with the imprint of canvas from a previous relining on canvas (now removed), with extensive contemporary manuscript list of accounts and instructions for payments in brown ink to verso, apparently dated at head 1651, with numerous recipients' names, some discolouration and staining, strip to head of the sheet detached, some chips and minor loss to edges, 45 x 32.5cm (17.75 x 12.8ins) Provenance: Private Collection, Oxfordshire. On the reverse are 51 lines of detailed accounts for payments, written in brown ink by a contemporary hand in French and apparently dated Paris 1651. These accounts relate to a number of different people in Antwerp, Amsterdam, Ostend, Rotterdam, Middelbourgh, Rouen, Liege, London and elsewhere. Amongst those named are Jean Baptiste Lunden (1636-1703), the husband of Rubens' granddaughter Helene Francoise Rubens, Cornelis Goedjdbroeck (possibly Cornelis Gysbrechts, 1630-1683), Martin Bisthoven d'Anvers (probably Martin Janssens de Bisthoven of the Antwerp Mint), Jacob de Bie, Gouvaert Lammers, John Robben of London, Philippe de Surmont, and many others. Despite its fragile condition, this intriguing oil sketch and conjoined manuscript document may shed important light on the commercial activities of artists and merchants working in Flanders after the deaths of Rubens and Van Dyck in 1640 and 1641 respectively.

170* English naive school. Schooner Countess of Morley, William Sherriff Master, entering Leghorn Mole December 19th 1849, & Schooner Countess of Morley, William Sherriff Master, 1849, oil on canvas, a pair, with painted titles below image, re-lined, 63.5 x 76cm (25 x 30ins), uniform gilt gesso frames The schooner Countess of Morely started life as H.M.S. Kangeroo in 1805 and was much involved in the supression of the slave trade in West Africa and the Caribbean. She was sold out from the Royal Navy in 1815. Repaired and re-named The Countess of Morley, she was first owned by Rowe & Co. of Plymouth where no doubt she would have been registered. She was fitted out as a whaler between December 1815 and May 1816, and her hull was sheathed and coppered. When surveyed she was classified as A1 by Lloyds on the 1st or 2nd May 1816. Under the command of Captain H.Best she sailed from Plymouth on 4 May 1816 for the South Seas. She did much of her whaling off the coast of Peru and around the Galapagos Islands. After she returned to Plymouth in August 1825 she was sold to a person named Billing, who wasted no time in getting the ship back to sea as a general cargo vessel, as after a few weeks in port she sailed for St John, New Brunswick, Canada, arriving on 7 November. She returned to Plymouth on 19 January 1826, most probably loaded with timber. In March 1826 she sailed again from Plymouth for Buenos Aires and in May 1827 she sailed from Plymouth for Quebec. The last notice on the Countess of Morley is given in Lloyds Register of 22nd April 1828 which reads, ‘The Countess of Morley proving leaky at Sierra Leone, has been obliged to discharge’. Most probably the repair cost was too high and she was abandoned. The date of 1849 on these two paintings would probably indicate a case of retrospective portrayal as we cannot find a record of another Countess of Morley existing at this date. Possibly commissioned by a descendant of the master, this fine pair of paintings represent a romantic ideal of this armed schooner in her earlier splendour. (2) £2000-3000

171* [Nelson, Frances Herbert [Fanny], Viscountess Nelson, 1761-1831]. Views of the Memorable Victory of the Nile, etched and engraved by Frances Chesham, aquatints by William Ellis, after William Anderson, [2nd edition], published Alexander Riley, 1 December 1800, a rare set of 4 aquatints with original hand colouring, descriptive letterpress trimmed with loss of all below publisher’s imprint to each, laid on card and mounted to show image and engraved details of ships to lower margins, contemporary gilt frames with verre-eglomise ruled and decorative borders with title captions, glazed, visible image area 178 x 370mm (7 x 14.5ins) Provenance: A manuscript note written by Horatio Mends, signed and dated at York, 13 March 1928, giving the provenance of these aquatints is pasted to the backing board of all 4 pictures. The first reads: ‘This is No. 1 of a set of 4 aquatints once the property of Viscountess Nelson. My mother, wife of Vice Admiral G.B.C. Mends and daughter of Captain Josiah Nisbet, son of Lady Nelson by her first marriage gave them to me. I have known them from early childhood as having belonged to Lady Nelson’. Lady Nelson had married Josiah Nisbet MD in 1779, but he died in 1781 leaving her an infant child, also called Josiah. This Captain Josiah Nisbet (1780-1830) was married to Frances Herbert Nisbet with whom he had six children. The youngest, Georgina Nisbet (1830-1904) married Vice-Admiral George Butler Clarke Mends (1808-1884), and it is their only child Brigadier-General Horatio Reginald Mends CB (1852-1933) who has written these notes of provenance. Viscountess Nelson bore her husband no children, but Nelson was fond of his stepson Josiah, even taking him to sea in 1793 for training as a naval officer. For the next few years he and Fanny wrote to each other affectionately and regularly. By the time Nelson returned to England in 1797 he was a changed man and in pain from the loss of his lower right arm following an attack on Santa Cruz, Tenerife. Fanny nursed him devotedly and this proved to be their happiest time together. Returning to sea in 1798 Nelson won the Battle of the Nile in 1798 and fell in love with Emma Hamilton. News of the affair reached England before Nelson and the Hamiltons returned in 1800. Though Fanny did her best to reconcile with him these attempts failed, though Nelson treated her generously, allocating her half his income. Fanny became Baroness Nelson in 1798 and Viscountess Nelson in 1801. After his death she was awarded a pension and lived in Exmouth until her death in 1831. Oxford Dictionary of National Biography notes of Fanny that ‘When, in 1798, he [Lord Nelson] destroyed the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile she was touchingly proud of him’, and the survival of this fine set of aquatints with strong anecdotal family provenance enhances this historical viewpoint.

At twenty-one he became a commander, captaining his own ships at the outbreak of the Napoleonic Wars. Posted to the West Indies, he endured several mishaps, including his ship being struck by lightning and running aground, and surviving a severe hurricane that nearly sank the ship. He was successful at capturing a number of enemy privateers, and he served at the capture of Guadeloupe in 1810. At the end of the wars Hawker briefly commanded a ship as flag captain to the Earl of Northesk. He spent his retirement as a correspondent for The Times, and died an admiral in 1860, one of the last surviving commanders of the wars with France. (1) £100-150

Hoare of the Settlement at Pembroke Hall, on the New River in Belize, in the northern region of Corozal. Britsh settlers, or Baymen, had contested ownership of land along the Bay of Honduras with the Spanish since the 17th century. After years of Spanish attacks, these settlers began returning to the region in 1784, and were permitted by the Convention of London of 1786 to cut and export logwood and mahogany back to Europe, using slave labour. The present view shows the small settlement of Pembroke Hall on the New River in northern Belize, and shows the British Schooner Richard on the river, a large central dwelling house, Store, Cookroom, Negro Houses, and Pit-Pan canoes.

Provenance: Private collection, Oxfordshire. The present drawing has remained unnoticed in the collection of the family of the owner since the 1930s. An important artist of the Genoese School, Bernardo Castello was a pupil of Luca Cambiaso (1527-1585). Castello’s fame was established following the publication of his illustrations for Tasso’s epic poem Gerusalemme Liberata, which was published in Genoa in 1590, with further editions in 1604, 1615 and 1617. The artist painted scenes from Tasso’s epic in several Genoese palaces, including the Palazzo de Franchi, Villa Centurione, and the Palazzo Scassi at San Pierdarena. The present drawing, a fine, highly-finished example of his work, appears to show the main character Godfrey of Bouillon on horseback, with his armies, at the moment of the appearance of the Angel Gabriel above urging the hero to lead the crusade to liberate Jerusalem.

Colnaghi & Co., 15 Old Bond Street (hand corrected to 14) to verso Bartsch 155. Schoch, Mende, and Scherbaum 256. Strauss 196. The present work is Durer’s largest printed portrait. The distinguished classical scholar Ulrich Varnbüler (1474-1544) was appointed by Emperor Maximilian in 1507 as pronotary at the Imperial Law Court in Speyer, a position he held continuously until his death, becoming its Chancellor in 1531. He became a close friend of both Dürer and Willibald Pirckheimer around 1515. In 1519 Varnbüler issued a German translation of Erasmus’s tract Dulce bellum inexperto and in 1522, the year of Dürer’s woodcut, Pirckheimer dedicated a Latin translation of Lucian’s dialogue Navis seu Vota to Varnbüler in which he refers to the friendship between himself, Durer, and Varnbuler. Dürer’s dedication on the woodcut reads: Albrecht Dürer of Nuremberg wishes to make known to posterity and to honour by this likeness his dearest friend Ulrich, surnamed Varnbüler, confidential and principal secretary to the Imperial Roman Government. No contemporary colour impressions of this woodcut are recorded. During the Dürer Renaissance in the Netherlands in the late 16th century, Hendrik Hondius issued impressions of the monochrome line block around 1600. The block then passed to Willem Janssen (Blaeu), who cut two additional blocks and printed chiaroscuro impressions sometime after 1620. Strauss lists eleven chiaroscuro impressions of this woodcut in museum collections. The original preparatory charcoal drawing for the woodcut is in the Albertina, Vienna. (1) £10000-15000

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AFTER THE AUCTION Online Results: If you weren’t present or able to follow the auction live, you can find results for the sale on our website shortly after the sale has ended. Payment: The price you pay is the amount at which the auctioneer’s hammer falls (the hammer price), plus a buyer’s premium (a percentage of the final hammer price) and vat where applicable. You will be issued with an invoice made out to the name and address provided on your registration form. Please note successful bids made via live bidding cannot be invoiced or paid for until the day after an auction. A live bidding fee of 3% + vat will be added to your invoice.

METHODS OF PAYMENT Cheque: Cheques will only be accepted on the day of the sale by prior arrangement (please contact our office for further information). Cheques by post will be accepted but a period of 5 working days will be required for the cheque to clear before purchases can be collected or posted. Cash: Payments can be made at the Cashier’s Office, either during or after the sale. Debit Card: There is no additional charge for purchases made with debit cards in the UK. All card payments drawn on an overseas bank, however, will be subject to a 2% surcharge. Credit Cards: We accept Visa and Mastercard, to which a 2% surcharge will apply. It is advisable to let your card provider know in advance if you are intending to purchase. This reduces the time needed to obtain authorisation when the payment is made. Bank Transfer: All transfers must state the relevant invoice number. If transferring from a foreign currency, the amount we receive must be the total due after the currency conversion and the deduction of any bank charges. Note to Overseas Clients: All payments must be made by bank transfer only. No card payments will be accepted unless by special prior arrangements with the auctioneers. Collection/Postage/Delivery: If you attend the auction in person and are successful in your bid, you are free to collect your item once payment has been made. Successful commission or live bids will be invoiced to you the day after the sale. When it is possible for our in-house packing department to send your purchase(s), a charge for postage/packing/insurance will be included in your invoice. Where it is not possible for our in-house packing department to send your item you will be required to make your own arrangements or to contact Mailboxes etc (tel: 01793 525009) who may be able to help. We provide a monthly delivery service to Central London, usually on Wednesday of the week following an auction. Payment must be received before this option can be requested. A charge will be added to your invoice for this service.

ARTIST'S RESALE RIGHT LAW ("DROIT DE SUITE") Lots marked with AR next to the lot number may be subject to Droit de Suite. Droit de Suite is payable on the hammer price of any artwork sold in the lifetime of the artist, or within 70 years of the artist's death. The buyer agrees to pay Dominic Winter Auctioneers Ltd. an amount equal to the resale royalty and we will pay such amount to the artist's collecting agent. Resale royalty applies where the Hammer price is 1,000 Euros or more and the amount cannot be more than 12,500 Euros per lot. The amount is calculated as follows: Royalty For the Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4.00% up to 50,000 3.00% between 50,000.01 and 200,000 1.00% between 200,000.01 and 350,000 0.50% between 350,000.01 and 500,000 Invoices will, as usual, be issued in Pounds Sterling. For the purposes of calculating the resale royalty the Pounds Sterling/Euro rate of exchange will be the European Central Bank reference rate on the day of the sale. Please refer to the DACS website www.dacs.org.uk and the Artists’ Collecting Society website www.artistscollectingsociety.org for further details.

CONDITIONS OF SALE AND BUSINESS 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims. 2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account. 3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission. 4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared. 5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due. 6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.

7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded. 8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer. 9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to theAuctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions. 11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the lower estimate, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions. 12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses. 13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
