DR. ANNE SHANNON Dr. Anne Shannon's impressive collection of over 300 pieces began over 50 years ago with a modest purchase of an unassuming silver pendant by Georg Jensen. This ignited a passion for jewellery, spurring Anne into amassing a selection of over 100 pieces of silver jewellery by Jensen through the 1960s whilst pursuing a successful career in medicine in London. As her interest in jewellery grew, Anne devoted more of her limited leisure time to this new passion; reading widely, visiting dealers, and attending auctions, even undertaking a short course at Sotheby's and joining the Society of Jewellery Historians. A chance meeting with the late Muriel Wilson (former editor of Jewellery History Today) sparked the next phase of Anne's collection, through an opportunity to volunteer at Goldsmith's Hall. One day a week, for several years, Anne and Muriel helped to organise and archive an extensive bequeathed collection of Omar Ramsden / Ramsden & Carr design drawings. Her intimate involvement with this work encouraged Anne to begin buying examples of their jewellery; pendants, bracelets, brooches, rings, and earrings, steadily growing this new collection in parallel with her Georg Jensen range. By this time, Anne had become increasingly focused on Jensen's early work, guided by Michael von Essen, the longstanding curator of Jensen's antique department and museum in Copenhagen. Anne continued to widen the scope of her interest in jewellery, developing her knowledge through increased involvement with London's antique dealers. Trips to Paris, New York, Maastricht, Copenhagen and Asia enabled her to embrace a range of British and European designers, creating new sections in her ever-growing collection. These included Giuliano, Castellani, Lalique, FabergÊ, Mellilo, Falize, Froment Meurice, Child & Child, and a range of designers from the British Arts & Crafts and the Art Nouveau scenes. In 2004 one of Anne's favourite Castellani bracelets (lot 276) was selected by The BARD Graduate Center in New York for display in an exhibition of classical revival jewellery, before being transferred for a further exhibition period in Rome. Now retired with her husband John in Buckinghamshire, the catalogue 'Jewellery by Design' provides a retrospective into a lifetime’s passion and a legacy to be treasured by their son, daughter and five collective grandchildren.

THE COLLECTION OF DR. ANNE SHANNON AN APPRECIATION When I look back at the most celebrated collectors of antique jewellery over the past 100 years there are three names – all women - which immediately come into my mind. The first of these is Dame Joan Evans, a brilliant scholar, academic and author who donated much of her jewellery collection to the V & A in 1975. Next, the formidable Anne Hull Grundy who accumulated rare and beautiful antique jewels in much the same way that a keen and enthusiastic schoolboy amasses endless albums of stamps, and lastly the American collector Judith Siegel whose incomparable assemblage of Castellani and Giuliano was sold – to great acclaim – by Sotheby’s in 2006. To this select group must now be added the name of Dr Anne Shannon and it is her wonderful antique jewellery collection which forms the basis of this single-owner sale to be auctioned by Woolley & Wallis on 31st October. I first met Anne in the library of Goldsmiths’ Hall about 15 years ago when I was researching the life and work of H G Murphy, the English goldsmith and silversmith. She was sitting at the imposing mahogany table opposite her friend and fellow historian, the late Muriel Wilson. They were both surrounded by an array of papers, charts and drawings and I only discovered some time later that all these documents were part of the library’s own extensive archive relating to two of our most celebrated designer-craftsmen – Omar Ramsden and Alwyn Carr. I little knew at that time just how passionate Anne felt about 19th and 20th century jewellery design and manufacturers and would have been extremely surprised to learn that, quietly and assiduously, she had amassed some 500 pieces over a 50-year period of dedicated collecting. Anne was deft in building close and productive relationships with a small number of reliable, knowledgeable and well-connected jewellery dealers and suppliers who recognized her insight and understanding of the subject and were willing to hold back special pieces for her. This is most apparent where the extraordinarily diverse collection of Georg Jensen jewellery is concerned, a sizeable proportion of which was sourced from Michael von Essen, curator of the Georg Jensen Museum in Copenhagen. Dr Shannon’s collection can broadly be divided into seven different sections. First, signed 19th century jewels by celebrated makers such as Froment Meurice, Wiese, Castellani, Giuliano, Brogden and Burges. Second, an unprecedented 33 lots by Ramsden and Carr including many of their signature enamelled silver pendants. Third, an extensive group of naturalistic, translucent enamelled brooches, pendants and assorted jewels by Child and Child, the popular early 20th century London firm of designer-jewellers. Fourth, an unparallelled collection of Georg Jensen incorporating a high proportion of early examples by this visionary craftsman. Fifth, a large number of English and Scottish Arts and Crafts jewels with many of the movement’s most celebrated designer goldsmiths and silversmiths represented, such as Henry Wilson, Charles Ashbee, John Paul Cooper and the Gaskins. Sixth, signed Art Nouveau and Art Deco from Lalique to La Cloche and, finally, a large and varied selection of Georgian, Victorian and 20th century jewels and accessories. In an auction brimming with so many scarce and interesting goods it is a little invidious to pick out just one highlight but for me, the Garrard 1911 facsimile of the Investiture ring designed for the Prince of Wales perfectly encapsulates this unique collection: rare, scholarly, highly personal and infinitely desirable. The sheer scale and range of Dr Shannon’s collection can thus be seen as a road map of jewellery design over the past 200 years – and I very much hope that the catalogue itself will become an important reference point for jewellery historians, dealers and collectors for many years to come.

RAMSDEN & CARR ‘Dr Shannon’s thirty-three lots by Omar Ramsden and Alwyn Carr span the early period of the twenty-year partnership to later works solely made by Ramsden in the 1930s. One of the earliest and most unusual pieces in Anne’s collection is the silver tabernacle pendant (lot 161) from 1905. Silver doors open to reveal three kneeling saints in coloured enamels. Carr is known to have carried out much of the enamel work during the early years of the partnership. The pendant bears similarities to the silver, enamel and amethyst Mermaid Pendant of 1905 in the Wilson Museum, Cheltenham, the design of both silver chains reflecting the influences of peasant sources. Medieval themes as exemplified in the silver figure playing a stringed instrument (lot 165) are also familiar in the art and jewellery of this period. In 1914 Ramsden and Carr held their Christmas Exhibition at St. Dunstan’s; the jewellery listed is made of gold, silver and platinum, but the stones are primarily semi-precious; a practice evident in Anne’s collection and distinctive to Arts and Crafts jewellery. It reflected the feeling amongst many that too great a display of diamonds and precious gems was ostentatious. Enamel, moonstone, chrysoprase, amethyst and carnelians were favoured for decorative effect. The ‘Anne’ bracelet (lot 166) is characteristic, using chrysoprase in gold, it exemplifies the height of the Arts and Crafts movement, when such jewellery was fashionable. My own researches into the personal lives of Ramsden and Carr led to meeting Anne and John Shannon. It was a most exciting day when they first showed me these fascinating pieces.’ Helen Ashton, Author of ‘In Search of Ramsden & Carr’

JEWELLERS & DESIGNERS Charles Robert Ashbee (1863-1942) Lot 215 Architect designer, silversmith and jeweller, Ashbee was one of the most influential designers of the Arts and Crafts movement and founded the Guild of Handicraft. He attended Wellington and King's College, Cambridge and was apprenticed as an architect to G. F. Bodley in 1886 during which time he became interested in the philosophies of John Ruskin and William Morris. He lived at Toynbee Hall, a housing area for students located in the East End, and it was during this period that he created the Guild of Handicraft. The Guild moved out of London to Chipping Camden in 1902. Ashbee favoured the use of semi-precious stones and blue and red enamel. Some of his most recognisable pieces are peacock pendants and the amorphous butterfly/insect/flower (as in lot 215) which is almost Art Nouveau in style. Murrle Bennet & Co (founded 1884) Lot 190 The company was established in London by Ernst Murrle and J B Bennett in 1884 (as Siegele and Bennett) and were advertising as Murrle Bennett & Co by 1916. Their commercial designs drew from both the British Arts and Crafts movement and also the continental Art Nouveau movement of the time retailing products made both in Britain and Pforzheim. Its output has close links with the designs manufactured for retail by Liberty & Co. John Houghton Maurice Bonnor (1876-1917) Lot 226 Like many of the Arts and Crafts designers Bonnor was trained as an architectural draughtsman before being taught at the Central School of Art by Henry Wilson. Wilson would remain a lifelong friend and collaborative worker on fine jewellery with Bonnor at the Artificers Guild (from 1905). With his wife, Nancy Agar, he set up his own studio in 1907. For further information see WILSON M., John Houghton Maurice Bonner: A little known designer of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and The Journal of the Decorative Arts Society 1850-the Present, No 28 (2004), pp. 108-125. John Brogden (1820-1884) Lot 245 John Brogden took over the partnership Watherston and Brogden at Henrietta Street, Covent Garden in 1864 and operated under his own name until 1880. He then moved to the Grand Hotel Buildings at Charing Cross from 1881-1885. He was influenced by the work of Castellani and produced archeological revivalist jewellery, and famously in the Egyptian and Assyrian styles. Mrs Newman was his pupil and assistant and he worked with Robert Phillips. His Jewellery was known for its technical mastery in the granulated and filigree decoration required in the archaeological pieces that he specialised in. William Burges (1827-1881) Lot 225 The son of a civil engineer, Burges was articled to Edward Blore in 1844 before entering the office of Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt in 1849 – working on Wyatt’s Metalwork published in 1852. ‘Burges’s genius as a designer is expressed to perfection in his jewellery and metalwork’ is how John Mordaunt Crook describes Burges’s oeuvre. Burges’s use of antique artefacts lent itself to his eclectic beliefs and led to a thoroughly unique interpretation of historical design in the late nineteenth century. Both his metal ware and his rarer jewellery combines precious and semi-precious materials and is credited (by Mordaunt Crook) with the link between Pugin’s medievalism and the forthcoming Art Nouveau style. Like A.W.N Pugin his work was equally suited to a large scale commission, such as his earliest work St Fin Barre’s Cathedral (started in 1862), Cardiff Castle for the Marquess of Bute or for the small mount of an antique bottle, or piece of jewellery. Castellani Lots 274-278 The driving force behind the Castellanis was Fortunato Pio (1794-1865) who was twenty when he founded the Revivalist Jewellery firm in Rome. He was joined by his sons Alessandro and Augusto. Their Etruscan and Roman revival jewellery was so popular with the Grand Tour sentiment that their business expanded, with the help of Carlo Giuliano, to Paris and then to London. With many of the leading revivalist jewellers of the day, such as Giuliano and Melillo, the primary interest was academic in the research into design and construction. The commercial success followed with an international fascination with the stunningly beautifully made revivalist jewellery. Lots 105-133 Child & Child Child & Child was founded in 1880 at Seville Street in Belgravia by Walter Child (1840-1930) and his brother Harold (1848-1915). Walter also managed the other shop which their father, Edward, opened in 1871 at Brompton Road, Kensington. It wasn’t until they amalgamated at 35 Alfred Place West (now Thurloe Street) in South Kensington in 1891 that they began to make the jewellery for which they became best known, the Arts & Crafts enamel and silver pieces. Their clients include Royalty and they created jewellery from the designs of William Holman Hunt, Sir Edward in Lutyens and Sir Edward Burne-Jones. Their highly collectable pieces were often marked with a flower between two C’s and repeated on their boxes. It has been described as a sunflower, a daisy, but more commonly, a marigold. John Paul Cooper (1869-1933) Lots 227-228 John Paul Cooper also trained as an architect under J D Sedding for three years from 1888. After this and a period of travel with Henry Wilson and Alfred Powell to Europe and on the advice of Wilson he changed to making metal work and jewellery from 1897. He exhibited four pieces at the Arts and Crafts Society exhibition in 1899. From 1904 to 1907 he held the position of head of the Metalwork Department at the Birmingham School of Art – where he taught that an artist should only design what they can also make, a variation on the Arts and Crafts philosophy.

Nelson Ethelred Dawson (1859-1941) and Edith Dawson (1862-1928) Lot 192 Nelson Dawson was foremost a watercolour artist but also a member of the Arts and Crafts movement. He moved from Lincolnshire to London and set up a workshop in Chelsea and then Chiswick marrying Edith Robinson in 1893. Dawson was a polymath painting watercolours whilst designing and making ceramics, plaster designs, jewellery and metalwork as well as teaching and writing. He was taught the art of enamelling by Alexander Fisher and in turn taught the art to his wife Edith Dawson. In 1901 he founded the Artificer’s Guild from his Chiswick workshop. Like the contemporary husband and wife craftsmen Nelson and Edith worked in close collaboration – together on pieces – with current research suggesting he often made the silver object with Edith providing the enamel decoration. Edith was born to a Quaker family in Croydon, London in 1862. In 1900 they are credited with exhibiting 125 pieces of jewellery at the Fine Art Society’s gallery on Bond Street but by 1914, and the outbreak of war, their craft business was floundering financially. With their training and dedication to watercolour painting both Edith and Nelson brought a painterly approach to enamel work – producing simple jewellery forms characteristically with panels of cottage garden flower stems in enamel. Their work was illustrated in The Studio a contemporary publication on design. Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920) Lots 249-250 Peter Carl Fabergé, the celebrated goldsmith to the Russian Imperial Court and creator of the objects of fantasy of which the most notable were the annual Imperial Easter Eggs. He was mainly influenced by the French 18th century style and specialised in varied enamelling techniques. Alexis Falize (1811-1898) Lots 283-285 Alexis Falize left School at 17 and joined the renowned Paris firm of jewellers Mellerio dits Meller in 1833. Although his work there was initially administrative his enthusiasm and talent was rewarded with jewellery design commissions. Having established his own workshop in 1841, he was joined by his son Lucien (1839-1897) in 1856 and the family enterprise flourished. They took enamelled jewels to new levels and continued to draw inspiration from past designs, but unlike most others, they were strongly influenced by the Japanese taste. They joined forced with Germain Bapst and enjoyed a long period of success. François-Desiré Froment-Meurice (1802-1855) Lots 268-273 François-Desiré Froment-Meurice was born into a family of Paris jewellers and took over the workshop in 1832. His success and fame was almost instant and exhibited in London and throughout Europe. His son, Emile, took over the family business on his death and Emile continued the Froment-Meurice reputation of powering the Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance styles in 19th century jewellery. Lots 178, 180-181 Elizabeth Gage Elizabeth Gage is a contemporary jeweller producing fashionable and bold jewellery. Lauren Bacall was one of her many admirers and clients and some of her designs are included in the permanent jewellery collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Arthur Gaskin (1862-1928) and Georgina Cave Gaskin (1866-1934) Lots 202-204 Arthur Gaskin began his training at Birmingham School of Art. He married Georgie in 1894 and five years later they started the business designing and manufacturing silverwork and jewellery. In 1902 he became director at the Vittoria Street School for Jewellers and Silversmiths where he stayed until 1925. As a multi talented painter, illustrator and woodworker he joined the circle of Pre-Raphaelites. Initially Georgie created and designed the jewellery with Arthur doing the enamel, later due to their success it was down to their students to manufacture the Gaskin's designs. Many of their pieces include plant work and naturalistic themes with small semi-precious gem stones and later, from 1910-1915 more elaborate designs with enamel. Lot 204 is a typical example of the use of wirework, ropetwist decoration and cabochon moonstones. Lots 200, 226 Artificers Guild (founded in 1901) Founded in 1901 by Nelson Dawson the Guild was bought two years later by Montague Fordham in 1903. Previously Fordham held the post of first director at the Birmingham Guild and School of Handicrafts in the 1890s. He belived in the writings of William Morris and was a rural reformer strongly championing the crafts traditions so important to Morris and Charles Robert Ashbee at the contemporary Guild and School of Handicrafts (which moved to the Cotwolds town of Chipping Campden in 1902). Carlo Giuliano (1831-1895) Lots 286-294 Carlo Giuliano came to London to open, and manage, a shop for Castellani, the famous Revivalist Jewellers, in 1860. Carlo then progressed to his own shop at 115 Piccadilly in 1874 which he called ‘Art Jeweller’. He continued to make high quality Renaissance-inspired jewellery and excelled with enamel decoration. He was entrusted to make jewellery for Edward Burne-Jones and Charles Ricketts. His sons Carlo and Arthur took over the business in 1895. George Edward Hunt (1892-1960) Lots 198, 216 Born in September 1892 in Birmingham, winning a scholarship at the Margaret Street Art School where he was taught by Bernard Cuzner and Arthur Gaskin. He opened a retail shop for his jewellery in Birmingham with clients including the Duchess of Sutherland who purchased several enamels. He worked alone in his garden studio, following the Arts and Crafts ethos, and this coupled with his deafness from diptheria has created an aura of secrecy around his work. His work transcends the Art Deco modern style born between the world wars with jewellery sometimes large and bold in form but made with skill and precision by hand.

Bernard Instone (1891-1987) Lots 11, 203 Born in Birmingham in 1891, at the age of 12 he gained a scholarship to study at the Central School of Art (1903). He went on to study from 1904-1912 at the Birmingham School of Jewellery where he met and studied under Arthur Gaskin. After this training he worked briefly in John Paul Cooper’s studio and in Germany for the Berlin Court jeweller Emil Lettre where his brother was already working as a silversmith. After his brother’s tragic death, and at the age of 22, he returned to England and to the Birmingham School of Jewellery where he both taught and produced his own work. In 1920 he set up Langstone Silverworks (the name an amalgamation of his mother and father’s names) whilst continuing to design for other jewellers, including work credited for Sibyl Dunlop. Lots 18-104 Georg Jensen (1866-1935) Although a distinguished silver designer in his own right – Jensen, like Arthur Lasenby Liberty in London, is more famous for his company – a platform where he promoted the designs of other designers and that would ultimately lead to a Jensen style. The internationally recognised silver design master Georg Jensen had a humble beginning, being born to a knife grinder in Raadvad in 1866. By the age of 14 he had begun training as a goldsmith in Copenhagen, After a brief flirtation with sculpture and fine art in the early 1890s and ceramic design at Bing & Grondahl, Jensen is credited with making his first piece of silver jewellery in 1899 but returned to the medium of silver for good in 1901. He opened a small smithy and shop in Copenhagen in 1904, expanding this business on a international scale with shops in Berlin (1909), London (1921) and New York (1924). Jessie Marion King (1875-1949) Lot 205 Jessie M. King was born in Bearsden near Glasgow to a minister in the Church of Scotland. She was brought up in a strictly religious house and discouraged from developing a career as an artist, she was employed to teach Art at St Margaret’s College Glasgow in 1891 and in 1892 she began studying at the Glasgow School of Art. It was here that she specialised in book illustration – beng made tutor of book decoration and design in 1899. She married the furniture designer E.A Taylor in 1908. Although the majority of her creative output was for book illustration and design she also received commissions for jewellery designs retailed by Liberty. Lot 205 is a classic example of her uniquely Scottish Art Nouveau floral design and the influence of the Glasgow Four artists including Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Archibald Knox (1864-1933) for Liberty & Co. Lots 206, 207 Born to Scottish parents on the Isle of Man, Archibald Knox was heavily influenced by Celtic traditional designs, entrelacs on cross and gravestones. This interest and development in a natural, sinous design would manifest itself in the continental european Art Nouveau style. Knox’s initial formal training was in the studio of M.H. Baillie Scott, another Manx architect-designer, who although closely associated with the British Arts and Crafts movement was appreciated across mainland Europe as well. In the 1890s he produced a series of designs for the Silver Studio where his work was noticed by Arthur Lasenby Liberty – the entrepeneur. Liberty recognised and appreciated his designs which he commissioned to be produced in silver and pewter on a commercial scale. In conjunction to the familiar tea sets, spoons or buttons, Knox also produced a series of one-off silver cups, picture frames and jewellery commissions. Although Arthur Lasenby Liberty allowed his designers a creative freedom – he did not allow them to sign their work and their work was usually advertised anonymously. René Lalique (1860-1945) Lots 218, 219 René Lalique is renowned as the innovator of Art Nouveau jewellery and as one of the greatest artist-jewellers ever known. Lalique began his career as the apprentice of Louis Aucoc, and then went on to design traditional jewellery for various names such as Boucheron and Cartier. In 1897 he was awarded the rosette of the Légion d’Honneur and in 1902 he opened his own gallery, by which time Lalique’s works were becoming internationally prized. With this success, Lalique had the freedom to be as expressive and innovative as he desired, thus we see his work taking on sculptural and energised forms; breaking the conventional boundaries and ideals of jewellery. Art Nouveau is synonymous with the natural world and was inspired by natural forms and structures, particularly the curved lines of plants and flowers. Lalique’s sensitive approach to naturalism can be seen in the opal ring, lot 219. Giacinto Melillo (1846-1915) Lot 205-207 Giacinto Melillo was a hugely talented goldsmith who managed the Castellani workshop in Naples when Alessandro Castellani returned to Rome in 1870. They often shared their archaeological inspiration for jewellery design. Lot 217 Ernestine Mills (1871-1959) Ernestine Mills was born in Hastings, Sussex to artistic parents her mother was an actress, her father a writer – both were active in the women’s suffrage movement. Her academic training came from the Slade School of Art, the South Kensington School of Art and learnt the art of enamelling from Alexander Fisher. In 1907 she joined the Women’s Social and Political Union, the suffrage movement and she designed jewellery in support of the movement. Dorrie Nossiter (1893-1977) Lots 210-213 Dorrie Nossiter was born in Aston near Birmingham where she studied at the Municipal School of Art, Birmingham between 1910 and 1914. Upon her father’s death and her mother’s re-marriage, she moved first to Parkstone, Dorset, with her mother and then upon marriage in 1922 to London. Her work is similar to that of her contemporaries, and friends, Sybil Dunlop and Amy Sandheim, (whom she exhibited with at the Walker Gallery Art by Four Women exhibition), jewel encrusted and often unmarked leading to confusion of attribution. Her work is transitional in style developing from the embers of the Arts and Crafts style to the modern Art Deco style of the 1930s.

Robert Phillips (1810-1881) Lots 238, 243 The firm Phillips Brothers was founded by Robert Phillips and his brother Maquies in 1839, trading at 31 Cockspur Street just off Trafalgar Square. They moved to 23 Cockspur Street in 1862 and changed their name to Phillips Brothers and Son in 1865. They were the leading jeweller specialising in the revivalist style in London. The firm worked with Carlo Giuliano and they also knew Castellani. Lot 224 Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin (1812-1852) The English architect, designer and critic A.W.N Pugin was the focal point in the Gothic Revival, an artistic movement of the mid 19th Century. Pugin’s father was a French draughtsman who had fled the French Revolution and settled in London where A.W.N Pugin was born in 1812. His detailed work was equally suited for the grand scale, such as the Palace of Westminster or on an intricate piece of jewellery made of precious metals which were often enamelled or adorned with stones. Omar Ramsden (1873-1939) & Alwyn Carr (1872-1940) Lots 134-166 The duo met in Sheffield where they attended Art School. Both won a scholarships to the National Art Training School and spent summers taking courses at the Royal College of Art in London. They became business partners in 1982, Carr won first prize in a competition to design a mace for the City of Sheffield, this project became their first commission. Their work was very fine, and partially machine-made. As the business grew the pair hired many employees who took on manufacturing roles enabling Ramsden & Carr to take on more managerial roles. Carr went into the army in 1914 during World War I and when he returned Ramsden has formed a relationship with Mr and Mrs Downes-Butcher. This new allegiance caused the company to dissolve a year later. Ramsden continued to run the workshop through the 1930s. Carr continued to work alone until the 1920s. Ramsden's dramatic flair inspired the signature 'OMAR RAMSDEN ME FECIT' (Omar Ramsden made me) Ramsden married Annie Emily Berriffe, the widow of Mr. Downes-Butcher in 1927. The bracelet (lot 166) was made for her. Edgar Gilstrap Simpson (1891-1940) Lot 191 Working between 1896-1910 the simplistic style is reminiscent of C.R.Ashbee's designs, using wirework and enamel. He designed for Charles Horner and exhibited in the Vienna Secession exhibition in 1902. Familiar motifs within his work include marine animals and pieces such as cloak clasps, silver pendants, brooches and buttons. Lot 11 Mary Russell Thew (1876-1953) Born in Hillhead, Glasgow in 1876, Thew studied briefly at the Glasgow School of Art be-friending Jessie M. King and her husband Ernest Archibald Taylor. Originally she designed and made jewellery as a hobby but out of necessity caused by her husband’s death – she turned this hobby into a business. Her Jewellery is characterised by the simple use of wirework structures and semi-precious stones in keeping with the Arts and Crafts tradition – with Scottish subject matter provided by Celtic form and decoration similar to the Alexander Ritchie at Iona. Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) Lot 239 Louis Comfort Tiffany was the eldest son of Charles Louis Tiffany (1812-1902), who founded the New York jewellery shop. Louis Comfort was the leading exponent of Art Nouveau jewellery in America and excelled with his innovative designs in all areas of Decorative Arts. He was responsible for having Jean Schlumberger and Donald Clafin join the firm. James Cromar Watt (1862-1940) Lot 214 A Scottish architect, Cromar Watt was a keen botanist, traveller and collector of antiques and art. Mainly self-taught, from 1896, he took influence from Alexander Fisher and the Scottish enamel artist Phoebe Traquair. His interest in the history of enamelling led to him re-discoveing the art of grisaille, using granulated gold and enamelling over folis for added translucency. Jules Wièse (1818-1890) Lots 279-282 Jules Wièse was born in Berlin but moved to Paris in 1839 to join Froment-Meurice. In 1894 he received a medal at the Paris World Exhibition which lead to many future commissions. His Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance influence was instantly recognisable and was often finely decorated with enamel. Jules’ son Louis (1852-1923) continued as a jeweller to explore the Renaissance, Gothic, religious and archaeological styles of his father. Henry Wilson (1864-1934) Lots 208, 209 Henry Wilson studied at the Kidderminster School of Art before being articled to the architect Edward James Shrewsbury. Later, he worked as the chief assistant to the architect John Dando Sedding and is credited with finishing several of the architect’s scheme’s following his death in 1899. Including the seminal Arts and Crafts building Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Square (designed by J.D. Sedding). Wilson specialised in sculpture, metal ware and jewellery design and his jewellery was exhibited at the Paris Exhibition of 1914. He held the post of President of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society from 1915 to 1922 and made Master of the Art Workers Guild in 1917. His style was individual and influenced by both the English Arts and Crafts movement and the continental Art Nouveau style – whilst the work at St Bartholomew’s Church, Brighton (from 1899) shows the influence of Byzantine art.

SOCIETY OF FINE ART AUCTIONEERS AND VALUERS and the ROYAL INSTITUTION OF CHARTERED SURVEYORS CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1. Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand. 2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller. 3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive. 4. The purchase price. The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 25% plus VAT @20% (totalling 30% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 12% plus VAT @20% (14.4% inclusive) thereafter. 5. VAT. (†) indicates that VAT at the current standard rate is payable by the purchaser on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The omega symbol ( ) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax. 6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale). 7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. 8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into the destination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help. The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment. 9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification will be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding. 10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone or fax. 11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with our Office in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged (except cash).
12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.
TERMS OF CONSIGNMENT FOR SELLERS 1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers. 2. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates: 15% + VAT on each lot sold for up to £999, 10% + VAT on each lot realising £1,000 and above. 3. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility. 4. Loss and damage waiver. We are not regulated by the FSA for the provision of insurance to clients. However, we for our own protection assume liability for property consigned to us at lower pre-sale estimate. To justify accepting liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT or, if unsold, our mid estimate of the hammer price. If the owner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, they then remain at owner’s risk unless and until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 4 is inapplicable. 5. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the lot should be illustrated your permission will usually be asked first. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue. 6. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods may be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7. 7. We may sell lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us ‘discretion’ we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve. . Reserves. (a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and insurance charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment). (b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent. (c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally. 8. Electrical items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. 9. Soft furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. The rights of disposal referred to in clause 8 and 9 are subject to the provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request. 10. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery but we are or ought to have been aware of it. 11. Unsold and withdrawn items. If an item is unsold it may with your consent be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is
WW102-529 SO Listing.qxp_Layout 1 04/09/2018 15:16 Page 103
unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate. 12. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of up to 10% plus VAT of the reserve or low estimate on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued. 13. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking. 14. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium and interest. (a) You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. (b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business on the day of the sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these terms apply. 15. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimum warehousing charge of £2 per lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three weeks we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal. 16. Settlement. Subject to our normal trading conditions, payment will be made by BACS or cheque 5 weeks after the sale unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 10 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of 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. 12. AGENCY The auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by sellers or buyers. 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 (a) 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’. (b) 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.
PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, LITHOGRAPHS, ENGRAVINGS AND PRINTS In accordance with long standing practice in Fine Art Sale Rooms certain terms used in descriptions in the Catalogue have the meanings ascribed to them in the glossary below. Glossary Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age, provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact. The Company reserves the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expect or authority considered by them to be reliable. (a) Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by the artist. (When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named. (b) Attributed to Edward Lear: In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainly as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category. (c) Studio of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist which may be or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction. (d) Circle of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified but distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist but not necessarily his pupil. (e) Style of ...; Follower of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary or nearly contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil. (f) Manner of Edward Lear: In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date. (g) After Edward Lear: In our opinion a copy of a known work of the artist. (h) The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are from the hand of the artist.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE
21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
Lots marked with a ‡ symbol are potentially subject to the levy.
Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death. Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to lots selling below the sterling equivalent of 1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single lot is the sterling equivalent of 10,000. Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant collecting agency by the auctioneer. Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale. Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows: 4% Up to 50,000 3% 50,000.01 - 200,000 1% 200,000.01 - 350,000 0.5% 350,000.01 - 500,000 0.25% In excess of 500,000 Up to a maximum levy of 10,000
