Leslie Rankine Taylor

Leslie Rankine Taylor (nee Crawford), who died in January 2014 in her adopted town of Cirencester, Gloucestershire, was a Scot, through and through. Born in Edinburgh in October 1920, she was the daughter of John Balfour Crawford, an officer of the Bank of Scotland who went on to become the well-respected Treasurer of the Bank for a decade from 1942. She, as well as her sister and two brothers, attended the George Watson’s Colleges in Edinburgh.

Known as ‘Leli’ by her friends and family, she married in 1946 a young Scottish Banker, Alistair Macdougall from Skye. They had one son, John Crawford, who survives her. This marriage did not last however and after they separated in 1952, Leslie lived a difficult life alone, raising her son whilst honing her love of antiques by working for Margery Bromfield in her wonderful ‘Castle Antiques’ shop on the Lawnmarket. She also started to buy pieces for herself whenever she had funds and developed a passion at this time which was to sustain her thereafter in her full and adventurous life.

In 1960 she married again, to Dr Andrew Rankine Taylor, and they lived for the next eight years in an old Manse in Polmont,

Leslie Rankine Taylor.

Stirlingshire, until her husband’s poor health indicated that a move south was advisable. They decided to move to Cirencester, where they lived on the favoured Cecily Hill, and opened an antiques shop in Dollar Street; a few minutes’ walk from the mediaeval parish church and town market-place. This was at a high point for the antiques business, with many British and overseas buyers coming to the shop during this golden period of antiques collecting. In 1971 they moved to larger premises, also in Dollar Street, with elegant showrooms, a workshop, and three flats above. In 1972, her husband Andrew died, leaving Leslie to run the shop alone. This she did in her own striking way, creating a truly magical antiques shop in which she presented an eclectic range of furniture and accompanying exquisite items, with elegance and invention.

The Dollar Street showrooms.

Her overwhelming desire was to assemble an ever-changing kaleidoscope of antiques which reflected her own astonishing range of interests. It might, at any one moment, include stately upholstered armchairs and settees, juxtaposed with oak dressers, chests, refectory and gate-leg tables - and always oak wainscot chairs, joint stools and upholstered stools. All of her furniture had a deeply cared-for appearance and many were rare and unusual items; such as a secretaire made from stained

burr-mulberry to imitate tortoiseshell, or a court cupboard of Scottish origin, embellished with stylised thistles, dating from the early 17th century. Her style was that of a gifted interior decorator and no horizontal surface was left without tasteful and compelling pieces of pottery, porcelain, brass and copperware, pewter, carved figures and delft tiles. On the walls, she displayed paintings, mirrors, framed needlework, caryatids and terms; all with meticulously researched and interesting labelled descriptions.

She cared for fashionable mahogany furniture too, and always kept bookcases, bureaux and tables. These, too, were always ‘dressed’ with items compatible with their original use; a pewter ink pot with a quill pen and a pile of leather-bound books; or with Chinese import plates filling glazed cupboards. No surface or space was left unadorned. All of which meant that entering the space of her shop was to forget about time, and to enter, with her, into conversations about all manner of things which might otherwise have passed one’s notice. She despised, above all, indifference to her carefully arranged cornucopia of historic and attractive objects. She relished combative conversation and her shop was, for her, the centre of her life into which friends, new and old, could enter and if they passed the test of good manners and a sense of fascination, they would become welcome guests and enjoy coffee, or a glass of something stronger (sloe gin being a favourite!), in her inner sanctum. Others she left in no doubt that she did not suffer fools gladly!

Leslie bought items from many sources, much of it brought to her, but her love of Scottish items never left her and she regularly travelled to Edinburgh to see her old dealer contacts: Gordon Small, Kenneth Jackson, Harry Parry, Janet Lumsden and others, from whom she brought treasures back to Cirencester. Always there was a strong thematic element of ‘Scottishness’ in her shop; for instance, she would dress the shop windows for Rabbie Burns’ birthday with Scottish tartans and appropriate memorabilia. This closely followed on from her outstanding and fascinating Christmas scenes of the Nativity, which brought light and festive joy to the ancient Dollar Street.

Other celebratory window dressings appeared for American Independence Day in July, and the ‘Glorious 12th’ in August.

In 2004 she decided to move back to Cecily Hill, to The Old Dolphin, selling a large portion of her stock by auction, and prepared to retire. However she took a long time to finally do this. In truth, she loved antiques and the contact with those who visited her shop too much. She continued to trade for another four years until her shop was eventually sold, and she then reconciled herself to filling her new home with her fascinating

The cover of Antique Collecting, featuring lots 196 and 361 from this sale.

items, including her silver collection. The Old Dolphin became another warm and genteel place which reflected her tastes and provided a place to invite her many friends and family.

Leslie was truly an antiques dealer of a generation which relished and found fascination everywhere. Her passing, and that of her shop, marks a turning point in the history of antique dealing in Cirencester, and more generally in the UK. Her like will not come again, in a time when antique dealing has become more specialised and internet-based. Many, including myself, will miss the frequent discussions on furniture and the recording of many items of relevance to my own research; for example, her lowland Scottish chairs bought in the Edinburgh region, were published in my Scottish Vernacular Furniture (Bernard D. Cotton, 2008, pp 158-159); as was the rare Orkney wooden chair dated 1703 (p 245). In this way, these and other items she owned have also achieved new and more widely available recognition.

She will be remembered with affection, and not a little awe, by the many who have admired her.

Dr. Bernard D. Cotton, FSA

75 FH550/21 SCOTTISH JAMES I AND VI OAK COURT CUPBOARD EARLY 17TH CENTURY the moulded rectangular top over a deep frieze carved with tulips and sunburst motifs, above a central cupboard door, carved with thistles and a rose, flanked by flower carved roundels and cup-and-cover corner posts; the lower part with a leather-lined top, above a pair of cupboard doors carved with flowering urns, above a scrolling apron, raised on stile feet 122cm wide, 127cm high, 42cm deep

Note: Court cupboards of similar shape were popular in England during this period, and examples can be found in Victor Chinnery, Oak Furniture: The British Tradition, Woodbridge, 1979 pages 322 and 471. This particular example is rare and interesting for its thistle carving and its diminutive proportions. Only 127cm high, one other example of a similar height but wider was sold at Wilkinson’s Auctioneers of Doncaster in their Hurst Collection & Period Oak Sale in 2010. The thistle carving on early 17th century examples such as this one may allude to the ascension of James I & VI to the throne. A beautiful thistle carved panel decorates another 17th century cupboard sold at Bonhams, Fine Oak Furniture, Pewter and Works of Art sale in 2007. Similar thistle motifs can be found on other oak court cupboards of different periods, such as the example found in another Bonhams sale, The Beedham Collection: Selected Oak Furniture & Works of Art 1450 - 1750 in 2012, which is dated Charles I and may have been made in the North Country. Another example is the Queen Anne cupboard sold at a Bonhams Oak sale in 2011, where the combination of thistle and rose decoration refers to the Act of Union of 1707.

Note: Although regularly associated as a merchant or tradesman’s mark the unusual symbol to the reverse of this piece is seen in various forms across Europe. While it has several possible origins, it regularly falls aback to the Quattuor Coronati (the four Romans who were martyred for Christianity). Another Christian idea suggests it is a stylised form of the lamb holding the flag. Perhaps the simplest and most believable is that the symbol represents an old set of scales where one arm was considerably longer than the other, this theory carrying more weight as it connects closely with the trade angle and also as the symbol is seen on weights and measures.

184 CHARLES II WALNUT CHILD’S WAINSCOT CHAIR CIRCA 1680 the panelled back carved with lunettes, interlaced scrolls and flower-head motifs, with downswept arms above a solid seat, raised on turned legs united by peripheral stretchers 61cm wide, 96cm high

Note: Children’s chairs of the 17th century tend to be scaled down versions of adult chairs, although frequently with less elaborate carving and detail. Often identified in period inventories as a ‘littel chayre’, they followed the fashion of the day with regional ideosyncracies just like their full-sized counterparts.

The present child’s chair, with its intricately carved back panel of quatrefoil guilloche centred by flowerheads beneath a top rail with stylised gothic arches stands out for its sophistication, and boasts a rich dark patination which adds to its rarity. For a discussion of 16th and 17th century children’s chairs see Tobias Jellinek, ‘Early British Chairs and Seats, 1500-1700’, pgs 147-156.

188 FH550/126 SCOTTISH CHARLES I OAK WAINSCOT CHAIR 17TH CENTURY the panelled back with down swept arms above a solid plank seat, raised on spiral turned supports, united by a peripheral stretcher 48cm wide, 96cm high Provenance: By repute once part of Sir Walter Scott’s collection at Abbotsford.

Note: Leslie Taylor said of this chair: “This rich, rustic and primitive oak wainscot chair was found in the West Country, but is believed to have been in Sir Walter Scott’s collection of early oak at Abbotsford, his home in the Scottish borders. As usual, I could not resist such a provenance, as well as its extraordinary form, so I bought it joyfully! It sits in a corner of my staircase, where I can see it daily, and gives me courage and strength to tackle another day!”

Abbotsford was the home of Sir Walter Scott since 1811 and it is in the Dining Room that he died in 1832. The design of the house - which Scott called his “‘conundrum castle” - was inspired by local historical buildings and Scott’s knowledge of Scottish history. Carved stones and dark wooden panelling were salvaged from other buildings to decorate the house, while his builders created new fittings taking inspiration from the historical buildings that Scott admired and wrote about.

Furniture and furnishing were purchased in London to match the style of the decoration and contributed to create the ancient atmosphere and theatrical appearance that Scott was trying to achieve.

Scott was also renowned as an antiquarian and collector, and he often joked about his love for what he called ‘antiquarian old-womanries’. He was a very knowledgeable antiquary, as his library demonstrates, and took great delight in the artefacts he collected - particularly the suits of armour, helmets, swords and guns, the accoutrements of a Highland warrior and the clubs of an Indian tribesman that to this day decorate the Armoury.

359 SCOTTISH CHARLES II OAK CAQUETEUSE ARMCHAIR DATED 1674 the arched cresting toprail above a panelled back, carved with initals ‘I F G’ over the date ‘1674’ leading to outscrolled arms and a spreading plank seat, raised baluster turned and block legs joined by stretchers, turned feet 62cm wide, 116cm high, 41cm deep Note: This distinctive type of chair is a fine example of the Franco-Scottish cacqueteuse chairs popular in the 17th century.

The seaports on the eastern coast of Scotland supported a thriving trade and import business more notably from France to Aberdeen, which was a major centre of furniture craftsmanship. The French influence can be seen in this example in the general form of the chair and in the architectural nature of the back. This example is also comparable to a group of chairs executed in the Scots vernacular style and assembled at Trinity Hall, Aberdeen, whose significant features include a tall narrow back, a seat of almost triangular shape and the arms sweeping round to grasp the sitter. A similar armchair was sold at Christie’s Sale 6546, lot 333, ‘A collection of early oak furniture and metalware’ on 21st May 2001, and another is illustrated in Victor Chinnery ‘Oak Furniture, The British Tradition’, Woodbridge, 1979, p460, fig 4.94. Based on research carried out by Leslie Rankline Taylor, the initials on the back of this chair may relate to the Gunn family of Lybster, Caithness. The Gunn family, from Norwegian descent, is an old clan who can trace their presence in the country to the early 13th century; they claim descent from the legendary Sweyn Asleifsson, the so-called ‘Ultimate Viking’.

The previous owner had bought them in the 1970s from the Estate Steward of Earl Sondes of Sheldwick Manor and Lees Court, near Faversham, Kent. The previous owner wrote an interesting letter to Leslie, stating that the Earl had a reputation for violence “when in his cups”: “I was shown into the Billiard Room, which was piled high with broken antique furniture and porcelain, smashed in drunken frenzy. Any dealer would give their eye teeth to have such pieces for their restorer today!”

Note: For a similar example, see Chinnery, Oak Furniture, p302, figure 3:203.

This is an example of the earliest forms of folding tables to be provided with a gate, now called ‘gate leg’ tables although this term was not in use in the 17th century. These were fitted with a gate and leaf on one side, so that they could be turned to side tables and pushed against a wall. In this example and in the one illustrated in Chinnery, the falling leaf is hung at the back and supported by the gate. In the Chinnery example, the rear leg and stretcher are split to form the gate, while in this example the legs are joined by an undertier. Underneath the top a finely decorated compartment can be found, with very similar carving in both examples.

381 FH550/53 SCOTTISH CHARLES II OAK CAQUETEUSE 17TH CENTURY the acanthus carved and pierced toprail centred by a crown, above a panel back and outscrolled arms, the spreading plank seat raised on baluster turned and block legs joined by stretchers and ending in turned feet, bearing a white metal plaque inscribed: ‘OLD SCOTTISH CROWN CHAIR FROM LINLITHGOW PALACE’ 60cm wide, 118cm high, 44cm deep

106

Note: The small plaque on this chair states that it came from Linlithgow Palace, once a stronghold for Scottish royalty and called home by many Stewart kings and queens. Legend has it that the good people of the town rushed to salvage the valuable pieces of furniture as the palace was burned down by the Duke of Cumberland in January 1746 during the Jacobite rebellion. Over time pieces of furniture bearing similar plaques stating their Linlithgow Palace provenance have come to light. Leslie Rankine Taylor purchased this chair in the early 1960s.

We understand that your collection is worth more than the sum of its parts.

Collections sell better as collections. That belief is at the heart of our approach to auctioneering. Over the course of our long history, we have seen this borne out time and time again: from the contents of grand homes to corporate collections, from contemporary art to Chinese snuff bottles; there is little we have not handled and sold well.

Each collection is unique and often has an emotional connection to the owners who create or inherit them. Our team work closely with our clients to provide a carefully tailored approach to the sale of their collections.

Personal, passionate and professional - we deliver outstanding results.

(b) Lyon & Turnbull will instruct, consult with, and rely on, any outside experts or restorers, agents or other third parties, and carry out such other due diligence, inquiries, research or tests in relation to the property or its provenance, either before the Proposed Sale as it may deem appropriate in its reasonable discretion. (c) Any oral or written estimate or evaluation or report provided by Lyon & Turnbull is a genuinely held opinion only.

6. 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.

(ii) for unsold lots, when the lot is released to the Seller, or, within 3 months of the sale;or

any reflection on the item’s original estimate. Lyon & Turnbull are not liable for any items (whether it be selling price or loss & damage) when transferred.

The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers.

3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER

we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding.

(b) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion.

4. INCREMENTS

(c) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn.

For each lot purchased a Buyer‘s Premium of 25% is payable on the first £25,000 of the hammer price, 20% thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer‘s Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction.

5. THE PURCHASE PRICE

Live online bidding is subject to an additional 3% premium (charged by the live bidding service provider Invaluable). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

6. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant lots.

(1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not

operating under a Margin Scheme.

(2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above ¤1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale.

More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

8. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. We do not accept American Express. (b) Please note there is a surcharge of 2% when using credit cards. (c) Please note that under The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 we cannot accept cash payments over ¤15,000 (euros).

(2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing by you to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by you or your agent, whether express or implied.

9. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due.

(2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us.

(3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for.

(4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time.

(5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot.

10. REMEDIES FOR NON·PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the Sellers and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the contract for sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs).

11. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) 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 only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given.

(2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavor to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon & Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers.

(3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.

(4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale.

(5) Electrical Goods: are sold as

“works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(7) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue.

These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales.

12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any NAMED item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings NOR in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text NOR in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, NOR in respect of lots sold for less than £300.

(2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, Lyon & Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

Bidders should also be aware that Lyon & Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Bidders should be aware that the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted.

These watches may not be shipped to the USA and can only be imported personally.
