Quarrier had a vision of a community allowing the young people in his care to thrive, set in a countryside environment and housed in a number of grand residences under a house-mother and father. This vision was realised by a number of donations from Quarrier and his friends, who had a free hand in choosing the style that their cottage was built in. As a result the village is an unusual mix of Gothic, French, Old English, Scottish Baronial and Italian. Despite this virtually all of the buildings were the responsibility of one architect, Robert Bryden of Clarke & Bell in Glasgow, who worked free of charge on Quarrier’s projects over a course of some twenty-eight years A charity under the name of Quarriers continues the work of the former homes and is based within the village, although over time the homes and associated buildings have been converted into private housing, and some expansion has taken place with new residential development. Quarriers is a registered charity and still functions to help disadvantaged young people, carers and adults with disabilities in the United Kingdom and beyond.

The two spirits hold in their hands rose-buds which appear as cherub heads, and lilies, emblems of painting and sculpture. The heads embraced by the falcon’s wings are breathing the dew of inspiration which falls on the tree of knowledge from above...This example, with the Conversazione Programme, recaptures admirably the atmosphere of subtle erotic symbolism that pervaded the last decade of the nineteenth century.”

E.A. Taylor was born in Greenock in 1874, the fifteenth of seventeen children of an army major.

After training as a draughtsman in the yards of the shipbuilders Scott and Co. Ltd, Taylor became a student of the Glasgow School of Art in the late 1890s. There he absorbed the influence of Fra Newbery and the already well-established ‘Glasgow Four’, before joining Wylie & Lochhead in 1900, and becoming a leading designer of furniture and stained glass in the Glasgow Style. In 1907 he became the head of furniture design with Wragge and Co. in Salford, and married the illustrator and fellow Glasgow School protégé, Jessie Marion King the following year. A move to Paris three years later saw Taylor become the Paris correspondent of The Studio and second in command of Tudor Hart’s ‘Paris School of Drawing and Painting’. Before long, however, the couple established their own school, ‘The Shealing Atelier’, and also set up a popular summer sketching school on the Isle of Arran, which they continued to run until 1940.

Returning to Scotland shortly after the outbreak of World War I they settled in Kirkcudbright, whose particular quality of light is said to have drawn many artists to reside in its picturesque streets.

Cottages were converted to studios and many young artists of the day, including Dorothy Johnstone and Cecile Walton, painted there - joining older figures such as S.J. Peploe, who spoke fondly of the Taylors warm hospitality. Although Taylor was no longer at the forefront of Scottish design he worked at a prodigious rate, particularly focussing on watercolours of local scenes, some of which he reproduced as etchings. While in Paris, Taylor was influenced by contemporary French painting resulting in his work at home becoming more like that of the Colourists, with simplified forms and bold outlines. Kirkcudbright is a typical example of this period and also features a recurrent motif in his work - prominent trees cut off by the upper edge of the canvas. Latterly, he helped to found the Dumfries and Galloway Fine Art Association and was in demand as a speaker on art and also on the work of Robert Burns. With his death in 1951 an important chapter in the cultural life of Kirkcudbright’s artist colony came to a close.

£1,500-2,000

The pianist and singer Marjory Kennedy-Fraser (1857–1930) was born in Perth to the Scottish singer David Kennedy. She accompanied her father on tour as a child around Scotland and Europe, where she played the piano and he sang. Between 1880 and 1890 Kennedy-Fraser experienced a series of tragic family losses which included the death of her three siblings in a theatre fire in Nice, the death of her father in 1886 and the death of her husband of pneumonia in 1890, after only three years of marriage.

As a young widow with two small children she needed to make a living and so settled in Edinburgh as a music teacher and lecturer. She soon became part of the city's artistic avant-garde circles, striking up a close friendship with the painter John Duncan, with whom she shared a deep interest in the Celtic Revival, and meeting leading lights of the Scottish Arts & Crafts movement; Alexander Carmichael, Patrick Geddes and Phoebe Anna Traquair. She had been inspired by the multilingual atmosphere she experienced as a music student in Paris to look for her own Gaelic roots and, as a result of a trip to Eriskay with Duncan in 1905, resolved to collect the Gaelic songs of the Outer Hebrides. She was the first collector in Scotland to use recording techniques – and arranged them with piano accompaniments. Kennedy-Fraser published these songs in three volumes entitled "Songs of the Hebrides", with a fourth volume published a few years later called "From the Hebrides". These publications together with frequent performances throughout Britain and internationally made the songs famous throughout the world. An ardent nationalist with an international perspective, it was her ambition to show the world the musical wealth of Scotland, and she fought extensively for a music college in Scotland, in order to make higher music education available for talented Scots from all strata of society.

This presentation box was made and presented to her in early recognition of her work, for which she was eventually honoured with a C.B.E. in 1928, two years before her death in 1930. Her archive is now in the collection of Edinburgh University Library. The inscriptions and decoration on this box show a number of characteristics found on the work of the Edinburgh based designer and artist Phoebe Anna Traquair; most particularly in two plaques mounted in St John's Episcopal Church in Alloa dated 1901 and 1902, and in several of her mounted enamels such as the 'Ten Virgins Casket' of 1907. This repoussé work was not generally executed by Traquair, however, but delegated to others to her instructions.

Lady Carmichael had studied with Alexander Fisher, and was already creating works in the art and had an enamelling workshop. Initially her work was based on the historic enamels she had studied in the Carmichaels extensive collections, and indeed she collaborated with Carmichaels on several works.

By 1902 she had begun to produce enamels in her own style, and had

become skilled at handling minerals and firing temperatures, attempting a wide range of work and mixing the spiritual and secular. The present lot, dated to around 1903, share its subject with a triptych of the same date, and demonstrates Traquair’s mastery of the medium, with its embossed surface, glowing colours and finely painted surface. Traquair exhibited twenty-two enamels at the Arts & Crafts exhibition in London, including a pendant of similar form to the present lot, commissioned by Sir Robert Lorimer, with whom she would collaborate on a number of projects in later years.

Her portraits have perhaps received less scholarly attention, though Elizabeth Cumming acknowledged her skill in this medium when describing her as a “painter whose depths of analysis and skill with tone and colour, seen especially in her selfportrait rank her at least equal to Gwen John”. This ‘Portrait of a Girl’ highlights her ability to evoke an ethereal mood, redolent of the ‘spiritual’ nature of much of her work, while accurately conveying the emotion of the sitter.

He went back to early Renaissance models - indeed he had recently been to Rome and returned full of ideas but simplified them into something essentially modern. The stool and writing table (the current lot) are eminently functional, in that they perform their purpose with a minimum of fuss, but at the same time rejoice the eye with their varied surfaced and vital lines...For these pieces Lorimer supplied the rough sketch, Whytock & Reid’s detailing the woods.”

Murray McCheyne was a sculptor and teacher who attended Edinburgh College of Art from 1930-35, studying under Alexander Carrick. Between 1936-38 he furthered his knowledge by travelling to Copenhagen, Athens and Florence. In the 1950s and 1960s he became Master of Sculpture at King’s College, University of Newcastle and whilst there undertook various public commissions. In the mid-1950s he came under the influence of Henry Moore, for example his ‘Family Group’ of 1959 for Shieldfield, Newcastle. The original is now lost however a smaller version is at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle.

He exhibited regularly at The Royal Scottish Academy Exhibition from 1935 to 1952, at the Royal Glasgow Institute from 1938-1953 and at the Palace of Arts, Empire Exhibition Scotland in 1938.

Edinburgh Weavers was founded in 1928 by the textile manufacturer James Morton (1867-1943) as an experimental design and marketing unit of Morton Sundour Fabrics. Originally based in Edinburgh, the firm merged with Morton Sundour Fabrics’ weaving factory in Carlisle in 1931.

They achieved success in the UK and US under the enlightened directorship of Alastair Morton (1910-63), who commissioned freelance designers and artists to produce work for interpretation as printed and woven fabrics. Following Alastair Morton’s death, Edinburgh Weavers was taken over by Courtaulds in 1963.

A rare Queen Anne Union weight commencing at 2pm

200 FE691/8 A rare Queen Anne ‘Union’ 8lb weight the brass weight of circular outline with sunken centre, engraved with crown above ‘PRIMO MAII, AR, ANo Doni 1707, A REGNI VI, VIII AUER’, the rim inscribed ‘D.LK’ with various weights and measures marks struck throughout 14cm diameter, 3.2cm high Note: The act of Union in 1707 demanded many changes within Scotland and this is seen not only in currency and minting of coins, but also weights and measures; attempting to bring Scotland into line with the English systems and standards. There had been many previous attempts to standardise weights and measures within Scotland and England before but it would not be until 1707 when this effort was made. However it did not take hold completely until the 1824 act and the issue of Imperial weights in 1826 this would formally and almost finally bring Scottish weights and measures into line with England.

This weight would originally have formed part of stacking set (not dis similar to those commonplace on shop keepers counters). In 1707 it is recorded that 21 sets were commissioned however only parts of 14 sets are still known to survive, mainly still residing within council and museum collections. These sets would have represented the towns official weights which all other merchants weights would have had to be tested against to be sure of honest dealings.

Weighing 84oz it is far heavier than the fashionable ovoid coffee urn which it would have sat beside. At this time coming towards the end of ovoid coffee urns as a popular piece of Scottish plate, this urn is the beginning of the new fashion of hot water urns / samovars as part of the highly fashionable tea equipage, and would have represented a very high status piece of plate for any family. An obvious extravagance as part of a tea set, these urns would have been commissioned in very small numbers relative to the number of tea services produced.

This example appears to be one of the earliest examples of such an urn in Scottish silver, the closest example is by Patrick Robertson of Edinburgh in 1770.

JAMES KER James Ker is without doubt one of Edinburgh and indeed Scotland’s most important and prolific goldsmiths. Working in the heart of Edinburgh’s ‘Golden age’ he, and within partnership with his son in law William Dempster as Ker & Dempster, made some of the most important mid 18th century Scottish plate known to survive including fine bullet teapots and ovoid coffee urns in addition to the gold Leith race prizes which bear their mark. It is obvious they held a position of power within the capital and nation’s trade. Their list of clients must be considered amongst the most impressive of any Scottish goldsmiths and include the Duke of Gordon, Earl of Breadalbane, Marquess of Lothian and perhaps most importantly various members and generations of the Hopetoun family.

James Ker was born in 1700, and by the age of eight (a surprisingly young age) was apprenticed to his father Thomas Ker, an important member of the Edinburgh goldsmiths’ trade. By 1723 James was a Freeman of the city and started, what would become a prosperous, venture in his own right.

The sheer amount of silver linked to his mark (and later in partnership) could only have been supported by a large workshop and it must be questioned how much of the extant silver bearing his mark was the work of his hand. None the less, the constant quality in design and manufacture is undeniable. This idea of a workshop rather than a single maker is underlined by the fact that in the aftermath of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745 he was elected Member of Parliament for

70

Edinburgh, a position he held until 1754 when he failed to be reelected. He was not only a political figure in Westminster but held many important positions within the Incorporation, being Deacon and member of the town council on many occasions. These commitments would have limited his time as a silversmith.

By the time of his retirement in 1763 Ker had been successful in business allowing himself to rise to the ranks of the land owning classes by purchasing the estate of Bughtrigg (for £1500 in 1736). Ker also had a property in Drumsheugh which was, at this time, somewhat outside Edinburgh, now all but part of the city centre. He married Elizabeth Ker daughter of Lord Charles Kerr and niece of 2nd Marquess of Lothian. This marriage no doubt confirmed his position of favour with the Lothian family but also his relationship and reputation as a goldsmith within the wider, tightly knit, upper classes of Scotland.

It seems clear that this portrait was commissioned by James Ker to immortalise his time as a Member of Parliament. It is one of two contemporary versions known (the other attributed to Allan Ramsay with the National Gallery of Scotland collection, NG1886) perhaps one each for Bughtrigg and Drumsheugh (the two pictures are numbered 1 and 2). Although the previously recorded example is attributed to Allan Ramsay both are of a similar high quality and it seems unlikely that they are by separate hands as they clearly date to the same period.

Andrew McIlwraith (fl. 1715-1753) while an accomplished artist with a good pedigree has left a light

footprint in history. Apart from few portraits in the collection of the Earl of Stair, it is seldom pieces can be attributed to him; those than can be, are all of leading members of Scottish society.

The portrait of Bishop Burnet at Marischal College, Aberdeen is also his work.

McIlwraith was certainly acquainted with Allan Ramsay as he was a cofounder with Ramsay and others of the Academy of St. Luke, the original Scottish Academy for the Arts in 1729. He was made a Burgess of the city of Edinburgh in 1735.

Although many Scottish goldsmiths were successful and others are known to have entered the upper classes of society or business it is surprising how rare recorded portraits are. To date (including this example) only three others are recorded including the fine full sized example of Francis Howden painted when Deacon of the Incorporation (see ‘Silver; Made in Scotland’ G. Dalgleish and H Steuart Fothringham page 24).

273 An important early George I bullet teapot Colin Campbell, Edinburgh 1714, Assay Master Edward Penman, the plain spherical bullet shaped body with a tapering straight spout, wooden C scroll handle with raised thumbpiece, the circular pull off cover with knopped finial, raised on a circular flared foot 14.5cm high, 17.2oz

ÂŁ4,000-6,000

Provenance: Christies London, 25th June 1969, lot 129 Sotheby’s London, 29th November 1972 lot 76 Koopman Antiques, London Private collection by descent Note: This is the earliest recorded Scottish teapot, matched in date with one other by Colin McKenzie. Both dating from 1714 - 1715 it is interesting to note they are made by master and apprentice, showing not only the control that McKenzie had within the Edinburgh market but also the skills of a newly trained silversmith. Colin McKenzie was without doubt one of the most important makers in Edinburgh in the early 1700’s and the legacy he left through his apprentices would follow for decades to come.

Colin Campbell was made a Freeman of the Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh

only two years previously in 1712, and appears to have had a successful early career. Valuable commissions such as this would rarely have gone to a relatively in experienced and newly established Goldsmith; however, the accomplished manufacture of this piece shows the skill Campbell had.

Interestingly he is not just copying a style laid down by his master, or another maker, but expanding the design to what would become the standard and popular bullet teapot.

The other recorded early teapots made in Edinburgh are all of apple form with tapered body and without

a foot. This example with a foot stopped the immediate need for a simple teapot stand, which are also recorded at this early period.

This example must be considered the forerunner of the bullet teapot and the model from which others were designed and made. This bullet style synonymous with Scottish silver can now be traced further back than originally considered.

These apprentices would go onto shape the trade within Aberdeen through such well-known names as William Jamieson and Benjamin Lumsden.

However his influence would stretch further with Robert Gordon and John Mair both of whom left to practice their trade in the expanding outposts of the colonial empire in India.

The will details many charitable and personal gifts and most tantalisingly the silver which he personally owned, including some personally made and family items. It gives an interesting insight into the close nit community of Aberdeen and its trades.

The conversion to table forks by an unknown Dundee maker who has added his own ‘pot of lilies’ town mark over some of the original marks. The ‘pot of lilies’ mark bears close resemblance to that of Alexander Cameron, and it seems probable he was the silversmith to convert these to forks.

Property of the Steeple Kirk, Dundee: Part II

Dundee’s Steeple Kirk is one of the most historic and important early buildings within the city.

Built in the 12th century by the Earl of Huntington, brother of Scottish King William the Lion, it has withstood the numerous onslaughts of Dundee’s tumultuous history to become the city’s most important church and its oldest surviving building. At various points in the Kirks’ history parts of the building were destroyed and rebuilt; the English General Monk, under orders from Cromwell besieged the city in 1651, and the tower played an important role in the city’s defences. Cannon marks can still be found on the building, a testament to its endurance, and the lock on the door leading from the hall to the stairs is the same that held firm against Cromwell’s onslaught.

Even into the Victorian era problems beset the church and in 1841 another fire broke out, this time in the heating system, and once again the transepts were destroyed leaving only the nave and the tower. The Chapter House, adjoining the north wall of the east Church was also burnt down, along with the library of over 1800 volumes, including works in Latin and Greek, many dating from pre-reformation clergy. The east and south transepts were rebuilt in 1844 for their respective congregations, the north transept’s congregation was re-housed. These three congregations remained in the one church until the 1980s when they finally amalgamated, giving the Kirk and its congregation its present day appearance

Note: The Royal patronage from the time of Queen Victoria’s revival of interest in the Scottish highlands is well recorded. Firms such as Fraser Ferguson & Macbean in Inverness and William Robb in Ballater were awarded Royal warrants for Highland wear and accessories they supplied the Royal house and its guests.

This sgian dubh must date to after King Edward VII’s death in 1910 as this would signal Edward’s change in position to Prince of Wales, under his father King George V. Edward would later become one of the nation’s most admired Royals, but caused great controversy in 1937 abdicating the Crown in favour of his future wife Wallis Simpson.

by Mackintosh Chief of the Clan Chattan to Mr & Mrs Colin, Christmas 1840’ and gothic initials ‘SC & AC’ to reverse 30.5cm long, 4.7oz Note: The original donor of this item was Alexander Mackintosh, the 26th Chief of Clan Mackintosh and 27th Chief of Clan Chattan. Alexander’s father, the Honourable Angus Mackintosh, had set out for America

in 1777, later moving to Canada in 1799, there, he created a successful trading business, dealing mostly with goods from Indian trade.

He died in 1833, passing the title of chief to his eldest living son, Alexander.

Alexander was the second son of Angus Mackintosh and Archange St. Martin, the daughter of an officer in the French army, and he personally fought in the American war of Independence. He is credited with saving a garrison of troops on Lake Huron, (one of the five Great Lakes of North America), from starvation, after he navigated the St. Clair River under the cross fire of American troops stationed on both banks.

After the war he continued his father’s trading business until they both returned to Scotland, and succeeded his father after his death in 1833.

‘The owner of this collection of rare examples of Old English, Scottish and Irish silver….

From time to time he has added a single piece which he has regarded as of intrinsic or unusual merit, hence the present delightful variety of the collection. There is no piece….. which is without interest to anyone who appreciates old silver in its many manifestations’ E. Alfred Jones, ‘The Collection of Sir J. H. B. Noble BT.’ In two parts International Studio

Highlights of the Sir John Noble of Ardkinglas Collection The ‘Noble collection’ was originally the creation of by Sir John Henry Brunel Noble, 1st Baronet of Ardkinglas, one of the renowned collectors in the relay part of the 20th century Sir John H B Noble’s collection was formed at a time when many treasures of British and European silver were available to collectors and his insatiable appetite for acquiring new and more important examples of the goldsmiths crafts saw him secure many internationally important items. His mantra in collecting can be seen throughout his lifetime with the collection being continually improved and ‘lesser’ pieces sold.

This collection, including pieces from many of the most important dispersals of the period through Christies and Sotheby’s, was curated by Crichton Brothers of Bond Street London, a name recorded as buyer of much of the most important plate sold at the time.

Sir John H B Noble’s collection grew and was originally housed in The Manor House Newcastle, it was moved to Ardkinglas by 1919 when John inherited the house from his father Sir Andrew Noble. Sir Andrew had had the house built by Sir Robert Lorimer and it was completed in 1907 and used as a summer retreat. Rightly considered one of Lorimer’s masterpieces it was constructed in remarkably quick time with the inclusion of many modern features and designs. Following the baronial Scottish style, the property was built using the finest materials and skilled craftsmen, making its quick completion even more remarkable. This combination of skill and material was matched with the installation of modern building techniques, built with cavity walls, concrete floors and modern sanitary fittings. Technology also played a part in the commission and Lorimer fitted a goods elevator and an extensive internal telephone system. Ardkinglas would prove to be testament to all who were involved in the commission and build, from Sir Andrew’s vision, Lorimer’s designs and the craftsmen’s skill shown through the very nature and quality of the building, which remains virtually unchanged since 1907.

Ardkinglas would house the now large collection of silver until Sir John H B Noble’s death in 1938, when the house and collection were inherited by his two sons John Samuel Brunel Noble and Michael A C Noble, Baron Glenkinglas. At this point the collection would change shape and form, it was also through this change in ownership that the collection became known to a wider audience. Both John and Michael Noble would ultimately sell a large percentage of the collection, mainly through auction, and private treaty sales to national institutions, which created the provenance known and so highly regarded to silver collectors and academics alike. These dispersals would form single lots, named sections or indeed single owner auctions from 1935 through to 1981.

Perhaps the highlight of these sales was in December 1967 in the single owner sale, sold by Michael Noble, of ‘Highly

Sir John H.B. Noble

Important Old English & Scottish Gold & Silver’ which included the Edinburgh 1736 gold bullet teapot by James Ker for the Leith Races. Selling for £40,000, reputably with Queen Elizabeth II as the under bidder, now in the collection of Manchester City Galleries. One of the most important items of Scottish silver ever to be sold at auction and, at the time, one of the highest prices ever paid for silver at auction.

These dispersals of the collection did not signify the end of the Noble’s collections of silver but did however signal a change in interests and collecting. John S B Noble would carry forth the family interest in silver and this combined with his passion for Scottish craft took the collections main focus into Scottish silver. In his positions as Chairman of the Edinburgh Tapestry Company and of the Scottish Craft Centre he combined the interest in the historical with the interests in promotion of the future of Scottish crafts. This combination was cemented in the 'Exhibition of Scottish silver from the collection of John Noble, Chairman of the Scottish Crafts Centre', 24th August to 12th September 1959, where some of the items included within this sale were exhibited.

Since John S B Noble’s connection with the collection it has remained virtually unchanged and a new generation of family members hope that the ‘Noble Collection’ will give interest and fuel further passions in the Scottish crafts. While inventories of the main collectors additions do exist there are many gaps within the knowledge of the acquisitions and it has not been possible to determine under whose custodianship many of the items relate. It does seem clear that the collection offered bears the marks of Sir John, John and Michael Noble and highly likely spans the entire generations’ interests.

Over time as his knowledge grew he set up his own workshop in 1961 and also worked as a tutor in silversmithing for both Glasgow School of Art and Edinburgh College of Art. He received numerous commissions, including one from Queen Elizabeth II and his work features in the collections of many individuals and institutions including Edinburgh University, the National Museums of Scotland and Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum.

His pieces are always striking in their remarkable simplicity, a design ethos he strongly believed in, he also placed a emphasis on the practicality of his pieces, believing that they should be constantly in use so that over time the bumps and grazes they encountered became part of their aesthetic appeal.

Holding the position of Assay Master did not preclude them from making silver or running workshops and in this case it might have been felt unnecessary to apply the maker’s / Assay Master’s mark twice to indicate this, however this is a practice occasionally noted.

Dieter, only seven of these are of provincial manufacture and all of those of Glasgow origin.

This divide of Glasgow and Edinburgh seems surprising considering the booming wealth in the city at this time. It is however not surprising that the provincial examples are only recorded for Glasgow as commissions of this size and period would be extremely rare in other provincial locations.

All but two of the recorded Glasgow examples are by the Luke family of makers - three by Robert Luke and two by John Luke.

Large covered tankards such as this would have represented a large and valuable commission to an early 18th century goldsmith and would have been a high status object in a family collection.

459 FG260/1 A rare pair of lace backed William III trefid spoons Thomas Cleghorne, Edinburgh 1695, Assay Master James Borthwick, the wide trefid terminals with vacant cartouche, foliate decoration to obverse and engraved initials ‘M / HT / BB’ to reverse, the moulded rat tails with foliate lace back scroll decoration (2) 20cm long, 53.1g and 53.7g

Note: As with most patterns of pre 1700 Scottish spoons, lace back trefids show some comparison with their English counterparts, although much rarer. Scottish Trefids fall into various sub sections with two basic types of decorative examples; lace back (such as this) and acanthus back, both are scarce compared to the plain examples This pair of spoons appear to have come from an original set of six, now split; with two in a private collection and a further pair held by the National Museum of Scotland (ex. Christies 26th July 1960, lot 146), all bearing the same initials and marked similarly (at least two lacking date letters).

The slightly unusual positioning of the hallmarks, with date letter much removed from the other punches, is noted in other spoons post 1681 (with the introduction of the date

108

letter) and does appear to have been a quirk of early marking.

The engraved initials are typically in the Scottish style with ‘M’ above for Minister, in this case relating to Rev. Hugh Thomson and his wife Barbara Barr.

Rev. Hugh Thomson was trained at the University of Edinburgh and licensed by the Presbytery of Ayr in 1688, and ordained in 1691. He married Barbara Barr and had one son and daughter.

A man of great zeal and character his life is well recorded, it is known that ‘sometimes preaching four or five hours at a time, and seldom less than two, and as might be expected, with very little preparation’. Not only was he a respected minister but gained some notoriety practicing as a Doctor as well, but not charging for his skills.

In partnership with his son, he took

this side line further and his son sold the medicines they produced.

This income afforded Thomson the Hill of Kilmuars property that after he was demitted in 1712 he would continue to preach from.

His will to preach after his successor, John Miller, had been appointed obviously caused consternation and it paved the way for the first dissenting meeting house in Ayrshire to be formed.

A man of great character and obvious strength he was a man not to be meddled with or taken lightly.

On a visit to Kilmarnock market he had a well recorded altercation with a blacksmith selling horseshoes. He

said jocularly, when told the price of his horse-shoes, “so much for these! I could twist them with my fingers.” “Twist them, then” said the artisan, “and you shall have the price of your own making.” Taking one, he did so, and twisted it almost with as great ease as did Samson, when he “broke the new ropes that were upon his arms.” The smith stood aghast, and considering his customer as “no cannie,” gave the shoes on his own terms, glad to get quit of him’

The Jacobite Collection of the late Michael B. Sharp

Michael Baruch Sharp

Michael Sharp, a lifelong Brightonian, was born in the seaside town on 3 December 1940, where his father was a civil servant. After his education at Brighton, Hove and Sussex Grammar School he embarked upon a career in the Post Office in London, where he was employed for some 15 years, principally with the teams of personnel auditing head post offices.

Michael’s interest in coins began in his early teens when he was shown a typical schoolboy coin collection by a classmate. Having joined the British Numismatic Society in October 1959, he began to form a general collection of English coins, visiting Seabys in his lunch hour during the week and Olivers, a shop in The Lanes in Brighton, on Saturdays.

Michael left the Post Office and joined the staff of Baldwins on Wednesday, 1 March 1972, remaining with the then family firm for ‘’30 and a third years’’ a phrase he often used to refer to his time there. He recognised that one of the benefits of being a previous collector was that he knew and understood the satisfaction a specialist would have on acquiring a coin of great rarity.

Because of this he was able to form lasting friendships with numismatists from all walks of life, learning form them while at the same time helping to enrich their collections. Over time, particularly latterly, he became the ‘go-to’ person when something came up at auction; he would be consulted by museum curators from Exeter to Edinburgh, learned institutions and private collectors alike, who would entrust him with their bids.

Naturally, Michael took on his share of cataloguing coins for auction, being responsible for the dispersal of many important and fine collections. But perhaps the one catalogue which Michael was most proud of was that of Noel Woolf’s Jacobite medals (Glendining’s, 1992). All things Jacobite were of huge interest to Michael; he possessed an excellent library of Jacobite-related books and was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, a member of the Royal Stuart Society and a life member of the 1745 Association. Micheal had helped Woolf form his magnificent collection and before it was sold had ensured it gained the maximum pre-sale publicity by being exhibited at that year’s FIDEM conference and at Messrs Phillips’ salerooms in Edinburgh. Since the turn of the century Michael had been working towards a revised edition of Woolf’s The Medallic Record of the Jacobite Movement, incorporating much new material not known to the original author; at the time of writing it is hoped that Michael’s friend and fellow Jacobite student, Victoria Thorpe, will carry on this work.

On 1 July 2002 Michael joined the team of numismatists at Dix Noonan Webb, where in time he became the firm’s principal cataloguer of British coins, responsible for the four auctions of short-cross and other coins formed by his great friend Jeffrey Mass (2004-2007). Michael’s interest in Jacobite material and culture moved onwards in later life and he formed, in a relatively short period, a fine group of arms armour and relics. This passion fuelled by his work with Noel Woolf gave him great satisfaction, as he had come to enjoy giving other collectors, and brought him into a new sphere of collectors. This collection was sadly cut short in 2012 with his death after a long but bravely borne illness. It was his wish the collection be made available to a new group of collectors and is on offer in whole within this auction.

‘Scottish Silver & Accessories’ Lyon & Turnbull 26th August 2008, lot 398 Literature: Appears and illustrated in ‘Prince Charlie and the Borderland’ 1928 pages 209 and 264: ‘... small sword is described as a court rapier said to have once been in the possession of Prince Charles Edward Stewart the Young Pretender’.

Note: This sword originally thought to have belonged to Bonnie Prince Charlie has since been disproved, even although it has a provenance stretching back to early exhibitions of the subject and period. While disappointing to have the ownership disproved it does show how important the Jacobite cause and the ‘45 have been held within Scotland and the UK for generations. Many relics such as this gain provenance and reputation with connections to the cause and while the links are lost they are generally assumed to be based in some truth of genuine connection, which over time has been distorted.

While the sword can no longer be considered that of Prince Charles, its connection while not understood is not without interest, the statement in the 1928 exhibition of ‘once been in the possession of Prince Charles’ perhaps suggests the connection but not to ownership or use rather than as a personal gift to Charles or trophy.

The Peter Nicholson Collection, Auchtertool House, Fife Part I

The following lots (501-525) form part I of three sections of the arms and armour collection of the late Peter Nicholson of Auchtertool House in Fife. Peter from a young age held a strong interest in all things Scottish but often with a strong leaning towards crafts and craftsmanship.

His collection which has been built up over many years was well displayed in Auchtertool House which he shared with his wife, Lori. Other items include, wood quaichs, biggins, horn beakers, mulls and other examples of Scottish craft. One item of Jacobite interest is a framed panel with a fragment of tartan, silver button, pen and ink of the tomb of the last Stuarts and note detailing provenance Lori has now made the difficult decision to sell the collection but knows that the pieces will be well appreciated by fellow collectors in Scotland and also further afield. The first part is a good cross section covering not only edged weapons but also treen, mulls, sporrans, dirks and associated items. The second half of the Scottish Arms will be sold next year.

Peter not only collected Scottish weapons but also European pieces including; A German large double handed processional sword, an Italian breast plate, circa 1600, a European Burgonet, circa 1590 and other armour and edged weapons. These will be sold in a forthcoming interiors sale along with a number of pieces of furniture, tapestries, paintings etc. from Auchtertool House. A number of these pieces have been hand made by Peter from scratch, a number incorporate antique elements and have been ‘recreated’ to a useful piece of furniture and some are antiques that have required some restoration to preserve them for future generations.

A Scottish portrait by Sir John Watson Gordon, which is full length will be of interest to Scottish arms collectors is of the artist Francis Grant as an esquire to the Knight Marischal, Alexander Keith. He is resplendent in full Highland dress with dirk, sword, powder horns and pistols, for the visit of George IV to Edinburgh in 1822, his apparel was typical of the ‘excesses’ displayed by many who attended the visit in an official capacity.

535 FG237/1 A rare late 17th/early 18th century Scottish targe the leather covered wooden circular carcass with brass domed studded border enclosing alternating motifs of crowned thistles and stars, surrounding a central domed boss, the reverse with deer hide covering and traces of leather arm strap diameter 49cm Provenance: Property of a Gentleman Literature: For an example of a targe of similar form from the William Keith Neal Collection, see ‘Culloden - The Swords and Sorrows’ 16th April 20th September 1996, page 57, item 4:3 Note: The Highland targe is perhaps the most overlooked yet iconic aspect of a Jacobite’s apparel. The targe was as important to the men that bore them as the basket hilted sword and its use in the deadly ‘Highland Charge’, which had proved so effective throughout the campaigns, is undeniable.

Their importance at the time, now often overlooked, was obvious, as there are many examples of portraits of important Jacobite figures with their targes and they also feature prominently in poetry of the early 18th century.

“Joyful tidings through the Highlands, Hosts for conflict arming, Hammers beating making targes of bossy fine devices” Taken from Alexander MacDonald’s ‘A New Song’ Compared to swords, dirks and even pistols the survival rate of these targes is small. It is well recorded that they were often the first item to be discarded upon the aftermath of the defeat at Culloden as men trying to make their escaped needed to do so un encumbered of weight and the sword and dirk were the fighting tools needed if they were captured.

Also by the nature of manufacture

they were not the type of items to survive being hidden - as so many swords and dirks were post 1746 in the romantic thatch of a roof or under floor boards.

Expertly produced it appears that these objects were not provincially or amateur made items but as with swords, dirks and pistols centres of manufacture appear to sprung up.

Sadly no documentary evidence can be found to support this or suggest a location. However even within the small survival there are features of design and style which must be from the same hand, this example and the one within the William Keith Neal collection bearing this point perfectly.

The iconography of the crowned thistle on this and its ‘pair’ is interesting and for a maker to use the royal badge such as this must suggest either a close connection with the Royal family or the cause.

While it can only be conjecture it has previously been suggested that this use may suggest the targes of this type were for a royal guard or ‘regiment’. This targe is not only a weapon but a symbol of support of

the Stuarts and defiance to the English monarchy.

While the surface construction perhaps appears simple, the finer details of construction bear out the use and professional manufacture.

Often formed of overlaid twin layers of oak or pine planks to give strength the leather covering not only bound this structure together but provided a surface to deflect softer blows. The cover to the

reverse, also with deer hide often had packing material between, to cushion the blow and the fur outwards again adding another layer of protection.

The use of the highland targe appears to have virtually ended with the defeat at Culloden and this signalled the beginning of the loss of Scottish targes.

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.

16.
