75 SIR EDGAR BERTRAM MACKENNAL KCVO RA (Australian, 1863-1931) Sarah Bernhardt c.1892 bronze Signed Bertram Mackennal lower left, and inscribed with the sitter’s name upper right, her monogram and motto “Quand même” upper left 44.5 x 42cm EXHIBITIONS: National Portrait Gallery, Canberra November 2011March 2012 OTHER NOTES: Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) was acclaimed as the greatest actor of her generation and had roles created for her by some of the finest writers of her age. A global superstar, she ultimately performed at least 70 roles in some 125 productions, appearing in many countries across the globe, even Cuba and Samoa, and touring the USA alone nine times. She first appeared in Melbourne in May 1891, for weeks before which her visit to Australia had been the general and absorbing topic of conversation. At the time of her tour, Bertram Mackennal was the centre of a debate in the press over the worthiness of his entry in a competition for a major bronze figure group to be placed outside the National Gallery of Victoria. An accomplished sculptor herself, Bernhardt could see his significant talent and advised Mackennal to return to Paris as he was “buried alive” in Australia. He took her advice, becoming a good friend and created this relief the following year.

Bernhardt is shown bust length in profile swathed in a frilled chemise looking towards a nude female figure holding the masks of comedy and tragedy. $200,000-400,000

The designer and maker, Leonard Morel-Ladeuil (c.1820-1888), worked for Elkington & Co. from 1859 and by the time of the Paris Exhibition, was considered by many to be the most important artist in this field. The theme celebrates the work of the poet John Milton (1608-1674) and his most famous work Paradise Lost. $2,000-4,000 79 JOHN SIMPSON MACKENNAL (1832-1901) Phaeton driving the chariot of the sun, 1860 plaster relief Signed in the plaster lower left 70 x 104cm

OTHER NOTES: Born in Budapest, Hungary, Meszaros studied architecture there and then building engineering in Vienna between 1919 and 1927. He went to the Academie Julien in Paris where L. Henri Bouchard and P. M. Landowski introduced him to abstract and cubist forms; at night he learned carving in Jószef Csáky’s studio. After his return to Budapest he worked as an architect but left to avoid the impending war and arrived in Melbourne in 1939 and was employed by the architectural firms of J. V. T. Ward and Marsh & Michaelson. In 1940 he began to make a living from sculpture. His early works included a series of three carved stone figures for Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney: ‘Maternity’ (1944), ‘The Surgeon’ (1945) and ‘King George V’ (1946). In 1949 he went to England where he was commissioned to sculpt the altarpiece for St Anselm’s Chapel in Canterbury Cathedral. He returned to Australia and was commissioned by many schools and churches including Shore School, St Peter’s Cathedral Adelaide, All Saints Church Brisbane, and his bas-reliefs in stone and bronze adorn many civic buildings, among them the Shrine of Remembrance, Brisbane, the Supreme Court, Darwin, and Sydney’s international air-terminal with his memorial to Charles Ulm. $15,000-20,000

OTHER NOTES: A major infrastructure project of the time, the George’s River Bridge replaced a steam punt service between Tom Ugly’s Point and Horse Rock that had operated since the 1860s. By the early 20th century and with the popularity of the automobile there were delays of several hours on weekends and public holidays and the Sutherland Shire Council campaigned the NSW State Government to build a bridge across the George’s River and link the shire to the north. The foundation stone of the eventual Pratt truss bridge was laid on 7th June 1924 and the bridge opened on 26th April 1929. It is now known as Tom Ugly’s Bridge and was duplicated with a modern bridge for southbound traffic in 1987.

William Kerr was established as a leading silversmith in Sydney by the late 19th century, and after his death in 1896 the firm continued until 1938. He was known for his centrepieces and distinctive silver trophies and was extensively patronised by the Sydney City Council. $1,500-2,500 471 TWO PIECES OF BOULDER OPAL One decorated with a map of Queensland, the other with an aboriginal throwing a boomerang. $400-600 472 A 9CT GOLD FOB Australian coat of arms surmounted by a boomerang.

THE AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL PARLIAMENT AND THE SPEAKER’S CHAIR, J. B. HAWKINS — Originally published in Furniture History, Vol. 37, 2001, Victoria & Albert Museum, London The Colony of Victoria in Australia was established by separation from New South Wales in 1851; it was named after the Queen. A Legislative Council onethird nominated and two-thirds elected from a property-owning franchise first sat under Lieutenant Governor Charles Joseph La Trobe in St Patrick’s Hall, Bourke Street West, Melbourne, on 18 November 1851, as depicted in a sketch

by William Strutt. The 1838 census listed the population as 3,511. This number had risen to slightly less than 77,000 when the discovery of gold only weeks after separation dramatically changed the prospects of the infant colony. This untouched idyllic bush landscape was to be decimated by the immigration, within ten years, of over half a million ‘Diggers’ to the Victorian gold fields. This sudden and enormous increase in population required, amongst other obvious infrastructure, the establishment of a properly elected Victorian Parliament, with an Upper House, the Legislative Council, and a fully elected Lower House, the Legislative Assembly, so contracts were let in December 1855 for a huge complex ‘Intended to invoke the splendours of Imperial Rome’.1 The two Chambers in the new Parliament Building were completed within three years by the architects Knight & Kerr from an original design concept

by Captain Charles Pasley and fitted out by the cabinet-maker Thomas Chuck.

Peter Kerr (1820—1912) emigrated to Melbourne in 1852, having worked in the London office of Sir Charles Barry, architect to the new Palace of Westminster, and, more importantly, the Reform Club, from whose entrance hall Kerr gained inspiration. The execution of the project fell to his partner John Knight (1826— 92), born in London into a family of stone and marble merchants in 1826. Knight, an architect by training, worked for the Victorian Public Works Department in Australia before becoming a partner in the firm.2 His thorough knowledge of local craftsmen and their work gave him access to those capable of exhibition standard work, as is evident in the fine execution of the Victorian Parliament Building of 1856. He was appointed Victorian Commissioner to the London Exhibition of 1862.3 Charles Pasley was born in 1824 and entered the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, being commissioned into the Royal Engineers on 20 December 1844.4 From 12 February 1851 to 1 February 1852 he was on the staff of the Great Exhibition in London.5 After commanding the skirmishes in the centre of the ‘Eureka Stockade’, he was nominated for the Legislative Council, becoming Commissioner of Public Works in Victoria on 28 November 1855.6 Like John Knight, Pasley was also an exhibitor at the 1862 Exhibition, showing ‘an inlaid desk of Australian woods with gold mountings’.7 Pasley was closely involved in the original design of the building, submitting the plans and elevations to the Legislative Council on 5 April 1854. Knight and Kerr took control as architects of the building on 22 December 1855, and produced the working drawings, altering some of Pasley’s designs in the process. Pasley fitted out the Upper House and the designs survive: The Vice-Regal platform is an elaborate piece of workmanship — clusters of miniature Corinthian columns, canopies, enriched cornices — full details and proportions of the order are strictly preserved ... The work has been designed under the general instructions of Captain Pasley. The architects being Messrs Knight & Kerr.8 Pasley consistently favoured the use of local materials and made considerable efforts to encourage local designers and craftsmen while working on Parliament House. One of these was Thomas Chuck.

John Chuck of London, a cabinet-maker, upholsterer, appraiser and furniture broker, ran his business from 18—19 Shoe Lane between 1822 and 1829, and from 1835 to 1839 154 High Holborn, where he traded as John & Joseph Chuck,9 at which point the disappears from the London Trade Directories. It is interesting to observe that from December 1838 to 24 July 1841, the South Australian Register carries an advertisement submitted by a John Chuck: 10 Cedar. The undersigned has on hand a large quantity of the above material.

Parties requiring the same can be supplied at the lowest rate with any quantity 154

and dimensions at his Chair and Cabinet Manufactory, Leigh Street, Adelaide.

John Chuck.11 The name Chuck then disappears from the record in Adelaide to reappear in Melbourne at a time when Thomas Foster Chuck (1826—98) left London (on 15 July 1852) and arrived as an unassisted cabin passenger in Melbourne on 25 November 1852, his age being as 26, his occupation, gentleman.12 This Chuck — who may be a relation of John Chuck, and, therefore, emigrated to join him — is noted at 95 Bourke Street East as an upholsterer, exhibiting in Melbourne prior to the Paris Exhibition of 1855, Á four post bedstead made in the Colony from Huon pine wood and an English made top’.13 The signatures of Thomas Chuck and John Knight are found on three surviving working drawings, traced from originals, of the Victorian Parliament’s Speaker’s Chair, The Canopy of State, and The Bar and Enclosure Benches. The drawing for the chair shows a design more ‘Tudor’ than ‘Gothic’, with the Arms of Victoria on the side panels and the roundel on the top rail. The design, with the four arches joining the legs, appears to be, for its date, an original conception. The plain uncarved panels to the back balance the arches with half circles and circles in a most unusual and innovative way. The addition of Gothic carved decoration to the terminals of the back and arms provides an historical link with the idea of A. W. N. Pugin. The drawing, entitled ‘Houses of Parliament Legislative Council Chamber, centre chair on Vice Regal Platform’, is inscribed by Chuck as, ‘This is one of the drawings referred to in my Tender dated 26th August, 1856, Thomas Chuck August 29th’, and by Knight as, ‘Witness, J. Knight, 29/8/56’. Chuck was to receive various payments under these tenders, which presumably were accepted, although some documents are now missing. Two contracts were drawn up; the first for £472 55. od.14 may well have included the President of the Legislative Council’s Chair, which is separately accounted for at a cost of £15 and noted as, ‘Chair for President of Council Chamber carved and enriched, cedar design furnished by Architect’.15 The second contract, for £1,365 155. od. for fittings, probably included the Canopy of State, Bar and Benches for the Legislative Council Chamber.16 The chairs used in the Legislative Assembly may have been those used previously in the La Trobe Legislative Council held in St Patrick’s Hall, Bourke Street in 1851, later adapted by Alexander Amos & Co., who submitted an account ‘For repairing and adapting old furniture for the new Houses of Parliament’.17 Therefore, the President of the Legislative Council’s cedar chair was made in 1856 at a cost of £15 by Thomas Chuck to a design

by Captain Charles Pasley, under the auspices of the architect John Knight. It is remarkable that both the design and the chair have survived.18 No earlier example of signed and designed Australian furniture is known to exist.

With the decision to Federate the Colonies within Australia into one Nation in 1900, new chairs were required for the Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, Sir Frederick Holder, and the President of the Senate, Sir Richard Baker, in the new Federal Parliament, to be opened by The Duke of York in the Melbourne Royal Exhibition Building. These chairs were made to the Pasley design in blackwood by Charles Johnston & Co. of 186 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy.19 The shop buildings still stand on the corner of Gertrude & George Streets.20 They are suitably stamped and of the highest quality. The makers’ stamp of Charles Johnston and Co. on the seat rail includes the wording ‘European Labour Only’, so as to comply with the Factories and Shops Act of 1896. This Act made it mandatory to stamp all manufactured furniture with the address and name of the maker, and if made by European or Chinese labour.21 The new chairs may have been carved by Robert Prenzel,22 then working with Johann Treede as carvers, designers and out-workers to another leading Melbourne firm of cabinet-makers, Nunan Brothers, at 248 Swanston Street, Melbourne. It should be noted that Nunan Brothers issued an undated catalogue of c. 1900,23 presumably produced with the aim of gaining a contract for the Chairs of State in the new Federal Parliament. It illustrates three President’s Chairs designed by Treede, with Royal motifs.24

After the official opening, as a gesture of goodwill, the Victorian Parliament agreed to move to the Exhibition Building, thereby allowing the Federal Parliament to sit in Spring Street. As a result the Victorian State Parliament also commissioned new chairs: A contract has been let for the supply of chairs for the use of the LieutenantGovernor, the President of the Legislative Council, the Speaker, and the other officers of Parliament at the new Parliamentary chambers in the Exhibitionbuilding. Ten chairs are to be provided at a cost of £191/5/-, an average of £19/2/6 each. If all the furnishings are to be on the same scale of grandeur members of the state Houses will have little to complain of regarding the luxuriousness of the environment.25 Whether these chairs were ever completed, and by whom, and to which design, I have been unable to establish. The only traceable account in the Federal Government records is a charge for £1,780 being expenditure in connection with the opening of Parliamentary celebrations, for timber and the erection of a dais.26 This large bill may have concealed the cost of the blackwood chairs.

The Sydney Bulletin of 6 April 1901 refers to George Jenkins, who was Clerk of the Victorian Parliament and had been appointed Master of Ceremonies to the Federal Government: A poor squalid undignified row about the invoices appears to follow every spontaneous outbreak of loyalty in this country... the story goes that when fat Jenkins of the Beard was arranging for the visit of the Yorks to the Melbourne Exhibition Building, it was decided that the Trustees’ room would do to receive them in. Whereupon the Trustees refurnished the room at a cost of £481.27 The opening of the First Federal Parliament took place in the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne, in the presence of the Duke and Duchess of York, on 9 May 1901. On a raised dais, The Royal Suite, the Governor General’s staff, the State Governors with their A.D.C.’s, and a few other favoured persons standing or sitting,’ behind the throne ... ‘Seated on benches facing the dais, but separated from it by a rampart of beautiful flowers, are the thirty six senators and the senate officials ... The members of the House of Representatives, corresponding to the House of Commons, are assembled in an adjoining room, which is to be considered for the moment as the Lower House, waiting to be summoned to hear the King’s speech, which is to be read, in the unavoidable absence of His Majesty, by H.R.H. The Duke of Cornwall and York.’28 This was the scene depicted by the leading Australian artist of the period, Tom Roberts, who was commissioned by the King at a cost of 1,000 guineas to paint the event.29 Roberts, in his wisdom, painted the dais free of thrones; however, a contemporary photo graph enables us to establish their location and use.

According to Westminster tradition, the Sovereign does not enter the Commons but summons the people’s representatives from the Lower House to that of the Lords for the State opening of Parliament. Parliament is then opened from the Royal throne situated on a dais, thereby keeping the Sovereign ‘conspicuously visible to all’, under a Canopy of State surmounted by the Crown of Authority.

All elements of this tradition were observed in Melbourne.30 Chairs of State would, under normal circumstances, be those in use in the Upper House of an existing Parliamentary building, becoming thrones when used by the Sovereign, or his Regal or Vice-Regal representative. In this particular case, some had been commissioned for the ceremony, while others were temporarily removed from the Victorian State Parliament for the occasion. The Governor General, Lord Hopetoun, and Lady Hopetoun, were seated in the front row at the extremities of the dais and used two cedar chairs designed by Pasley and made by Chuck. They were of tub form and were borrowed from the Upper House of the Victorian Parliament. The Duchess of York sat in the blackwood chair made by Johnston for Sir Frederick William Holder, Speaker of the House of Representatives, while the Duke of York was seated in the President of the Legislative Assembly’s cedar chair from the Victorian Parliament. It was from

these Chairs of State that the Nation and its Parliament were authorized and, as such, they are objects of great historical significance to Australians.

The two Federal blackwood chairs made by Johnson were created for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the President of the Senate.

Therefore they were the property of the National Government, although they were to leave the Victorian Parliament Building in Spring Street. One was removed by Sir Frederick William Holder, first Speaker of the House of Representatives until his death in 1909, and is now in a private collection. The other blackwood chair, removed by Sir Richard Chaffey Baker, first President of the Senate until his resignation on 31 December 1906, was later gifted by him to the Adelaide Club.

The removal of the Senate chair by Baker necessitated the making of at least one more Pasley-designed chair in blackwood, for there exists in the current new Federal Parliament building in Canberra an identical blackwood chair with a silver plaque bearing the inscription, ‘President of the Senate, the Honourable Thos Givens, 9-July-1913 to 30-June-1926, chair bequeathed to the Senate by Mrs T Givens’.31 The Chair would appear to be unstamped with any makers’ marks.32 It is this author’s opinion that one of the two Pasley-designed cedar chairs – one stamped Svensson, the other bearing a Foy and Gibson stencilled label, and both still in the Victorian Parliament building – are the replacements of the two original chairs made in blackwood. How was it possible that three of these important chairs could be legally removed from the Australian National Parliament?

The hereditary position of Lord Great Chamberlain in Britain gave the holder the right to carry out the Sovereign’s commands with regard to the furnishing of the House of Lords and the Palace of Westminster. This entitled the incumbent to claim for his benefit or the benefit of other Officers of State old or redundant furniture. Australian has no hereditary Lord Great Chamberlain, and the House of Lords, which is the locus classicus of thrones, was normally refurnished either partially or completely at the commencement of every reign.33 The surplus furniture of both Houses, Upper and Lower, generally became a perquisite of the Speaker in each Chamber. In the Victorian Parliament Building, where the Federal Parliament sat from 1901 until 1927, there is a Speaker’s chair gifted by John Henry Thomas Manners Sutton, later 3rd Viscount Canterbury, Governor of Victoria from 1866 to 1873. He inherited the chair from his father, Charles, 1st Viscount, who was eight times speaker of the House of Commons in Westminster. 34 Physical evidence of this tradition was therefore available to all Members of the Federal Parliament, as the Chair stood in Queen’s Hall in the Victorian Parliament building. With this in mind, the following newspaper reference is of interest: We learn that letters have been received by Viscount Canterbury, which announce his intention of making an interesting present to the colony. The chair occupied by his father when Speaker of the House of Commons, and when the Reform Bill of 1832 was passed, has become his property, in consequence of the practise that when the Speaker of that House resigns his position, the chair he has occupied becomes his own.35 A precedent had been set and colonial officials were quick to follow. In 1927, with the opening of the first Australian Federal Parliament in Canberra, a new Speaker’s Chair was made, copied from the original Gothic designs by A.W.N Pugin for the Westminster Parliament of some eighty years earlier. It was installed in the House of Representatives. The chair, a gift from members of both Houses of the Westminster Parliament, remains in situ (being so large and heavy that no Speaker can remove it!) as visual evidence of the strong historic links between the British and Australian parliamentary traditions.36

10 From the advertisement it would appear that a John Chuck had moved from London to Adelaide. John Chuck, no age given, married Harriet Jellett in a Church of England ceremony in Adelaide on 18 August 1841. He is listed in the Adelaide Street Directories until 1843, the year of the death of their first child, Emily. Assuming that this was his first marriage, it would make him a possible brother of Thomas.

11 Cedar, or Toona Australis, is a native Australian timber; it gained usage due to its colour and texture, being similar to a poor grade West Indian mahogany. Cedar was readily available and much used in Australian furniture to 1860.

12 Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, Melbourne, Victoria (Marriage certificate #2134.)

In 1854 Thomas Chuck, born in London and aged 27, married Adeline Holt in Melbourne, giving his occupation as upholsterer. His father was noted as John Chuck, an upholsterer.

Thomas Chuck married for the second time in 1869. (Marriage certificate #2540.) This marriage certificate states him to have been born in London, his occupation, artist, a widower, with one living child and five deceased, aged 42; his father John’s occupation was now given as that of a gentleman. By 1869 Chuck had become a noted Australian photographer; his career, from his arrival in 1852, to his death in 1898, covered many fields. His death certificate, dated 6 December 1898, #752 Melbourne, gives his occupation as Evangelist and his father’s occupation as cabinet-maker. He is buried St Kilda Cemetery, Melbourne, with his first wife, Adeline, and second wife, Mary.

18 A further two cedar chairs of the Pasley design remain in the Parliament Building. One is stamped on base of the seat, ‘Foy & Gibson, Smith Street, Collingwood’. This stamp is mid-twentieth-century and probably relates to the reupholstery of the chair. The other chair, also cedar, is stamped A Svensson of 169 La Trobe Street, Melbourne’. Svensson was born in April 1840 in Lund, Sweden, and arrived in Melbourne on Nations Hope from Gothenburg, on 26 July 1869. He was naturalized 9 May 1871, Certificate no. 553, and married 1872, his occupation given as cabinet-maker. He died in 1917 leaving a net worth of £1,906 7s. 11d.

19 Blackwood, or Acacia melanoxylon, was considered the finest Australian cabinet timber. A hardwood, it is both heavy and close grained and polishes finely. The ‘fiddleback’ cut made it the most prized of Australian native timbers. Between 1870 and 1910, most of the best timber was felled.

20 Australian Representative Men, ed. Wells & T. W. H. Leavitt (Melbourne, 1887), unpaginated. Charles Johnston(e), born in Cork, Ireland, on 6 October 1845, came to Victoria with his parents in 1853, eventually gaining a ten-year lease over numbers 134, 136, 138, 140, 142 and 144 Gertrude Street. He died on I4 july 1896 leaving an estate of £728 10s. His business was taken over by his son, George, the firm becoming ‘Cabinetmakers.

Upholsterers and Furniture Makers’ to the Victorian Government in 1899, as noted in the Sands & McDougall Melbourne Directory of that year.

21 Convict transportation to Australia ceased in the 1840s, to be replaced by cheap labour from mainland China. The 1861 Victorian Census showed alluvial miners on the gold fields comprised 67,348 Europeans and 24,539 Chinese. Many second- or third-generation Chinese Australians later turned to cabinet-making. The Factories & Shops Act of 1896 provided for the ‘Stamp of Distinction’ and listed 405 Chinese cabinet-makers, as against 228 Europeans active in Victoria. The Victorian Furniture Manufacturers Employees Trade Protection Association was formed to ‘retrieve and maintain the furniture trade in the hands of Europeans by every legitimate means’. Pressure from this union, combined with antiChinese sentiment, was a major factor in introduction in 1901 of the Act, debarring Asiatics and others from entry into Australia thereby introducing the ‘White Australia’ Policy.
