Selected Contents from Cairness House, Aberdeenshire Cairness House is a category A listed building considered one of the finest examples of domestic neoclassical architecture in Britain. Constructed between 1791 and 1797 to designs by the architect James Playfair, the house is constructed of finely detailed granite ashlar and consists of a main block flanked by raised wings with a pair of lower pavilions extending to the back connected by a semicircular service wing enclosing a central courtyard. Playfair’s design incorporates Masonic, Egyptian and Roman elements in the overall plan which parallel work by the architect Sir John Soane.

Commissioned by Charles Gordon of Cairness and Buthlaw, the house remained in the Gordon family until the 1930s when it was sold to the Countess of Esk. The post-war years saw Cairness House, like many country houses in Britain, gradually slip into disrepair and by the early 1990s it was listed as a ‘Building at Risk’ by the Scottish Civic Trust. In 2001 the present owners purchased Cairness and set about an extensive plan of

preservation and restoration of the period interiors.

Years of neglect were reversed, plasterwork and mouldings repaired, and an authentic colour scheme reintroduced to recreate the original neoclassical interiors. Their painstaking work and attention to detail saw the project win the Georgian Group Architectural Award for ‘Best Restoration of a Georgian Country House in Britain’ in 2009.

The contents selected for sale are a reflection of the interiors at Cairness and include a fine collection of 18th and 19th century furniture, paintings, and works of art.

WILLIAM ETTY, R.A. (ENGLISH, 1787-1849)

WILLIAM CHARLES MACREADY, ACTING IN THE ROLE OF HAMLET WEARING A RED TOGA oil on canvas 93cm x 70cm Note: William Macready (1763-1893) was an English actor, known for his roles in Shakespearean plays and his work within modern English drama during the first half of 19th century.

His rise to public fame came after his success in the titlerole of Sheridan Knowles’s William Tell, before trips to both the United States and Europe. In 1837 he joined the management of Covent Garden, and later Drury Lane in the 1840s, where he performed for the last time as Macbeth in 1851.

Macready and Etty met when travelling in Italy during the 1820s and became “very warm” friends for the remainder of their days after this chance encounter. Documented evidence of Macready and Etty’s relationship is seen in letters from the latter, congratulating the former on his performances in King Lear, Comus and Much Ado About Nothing, dated 1838-1843. The signed letters are held at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington D.C.

SIR HENRY RAEBURN R.A., R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1756-1823)

THREE-QUARTER SEATED PORTRAIT OF AN OFFICER OF THE MADRAS ARTILLERY oil on canvas, the sitter seated in a green open armchair and holding a tricorn hat in his right hand, against trees with a view of the sea in the distance 127cm x 101.5cm (50in. x 40in.)

Note: This portrait dates circa 1785 and the sitter has been traditionally identified as Lt Governor Henry Hamilton, although this attribution is now questioned. The format of the portrait follows other known paintings by Raeburn, in particular a portrait of the Thomas Carmichael, 5th Earl of Hyndford, which uses the same pose and chair with a tree in the background for the subject, with the only notable difference being the far landscape in the background.

Provenance: McCormick Sale, American Art Association, New York, 15th April 1920 With Knoedler, 1922 Mr and Mrs van Horn Ely, by whom given to the Phoenix Art Museum Anon. sale, Sotheby’s, 8th November 1995, lot 53 Exhibited: Chicago, The Art Institute, 1895 and 1919 Pittsburgh, Carnegie Institute, 1898 Boston, Copley Hall, 1900 Boston Art Students Association, no.33

Selected Contents from Auchtertool, Fife Auchtertool House in Fife was the home of the late Peter Nicholson and his wife Lori. The grade B listed house, dating to the early part of the 19th century, is a perfect example of a classic Georgian country house.

Commodious without being ostentatious, Auchtertool adheres to the classic proportions and inuences that dominated domestic and public architecture during the Georgian period. From an early age Peter Nicholson had a strong interest in history, architecture, and antiques, and in particular all things Scottish. At Auchtertool he and Lori were able to create a home to display a collection built up over many years, fashioning interiors redolent in the look and feel of a Scottish baronial house, all applied with a sense of history,

comfort, and a touch of whimsy. Peter was a skilled restorer and craftsman, and a number of the pieces in the house were handmade by him in his workshop. He not only restored items, but sympathetically incorporated antique elements into new pieces, or completely recreated antique items for modern living.

Lyon & Turnbull is pleased to be able to oer this uniquely Scottish collection for sale.

ATTRIBUTED TO SIR JOHN WATSON GORDON

FULL LENGTH PORTRAIT OF A HIGHLAND CHIEFTAIN SIR FRANCIS GRANT IN FULL HIGHLAND DRESS oil on canvas 215cm x 120cm (84.5in x 47.5in) Note: This impressive portrait of the painter Sir Francis Grant (1803-1878), resplendently dressed in full Highland regalia as an Esquire to the Knight Marischal, evokes all the Scottish national pride and romanticism of the early 19th century. Last exhibited by the R.S.A. in 1824, and the subject only recently identified, this dynamic portrait of the dashing young artist swathed in metres of red tartan, is representative of a group of portraits meant to convey an unequivocable Scottish identity.

Beginning with the publication of Sir Walter Scott's novel Waverley in 1814, there was renewed interest in the history, culture and traditional dress of Scotland, and it was with Scott's influence that George IV's visit to Edinburgh was organised in 1822, the year this portrait was painted. The royal visit, the first for a British monarch since 1650, was marked with a series of high profile events, processions and pageants, all to celebrate the Scottish national identity and reinforce the King's ties to Scotland and improve his popularity after his accension to the throne the year before.

Sir John Watson Gordon (1788 - 1864) succeeded Sir Henry Raeburn as the preeminent Scottish portrait painter of the first half of the 19th century. He painted many famous Scottish individuals including Sir Walter Scott and James Andrew Ramsay, 10th Earl and 1st Marquess of Dalhousie. Watson Gordon and Grant exhibited at the Royal Academy throughout the nineteenth century with the former elected President in 1850 and Grant in 1866.

150 Lyon & Turnbull

ASSIMILIANO SOLDANI-BENZI (16561740) was Master of the Mint in Florence, but extended his range beyond the coinage of Tuscany. In 1702 he had modelled two elaborate mythological subjects, the Judgement of Paris and Diana and Callisto, which give a premonition of the sculptor’s ‘pictorial’ style of composition, with strong diagonals animating the groups of figures, which are laden with exquisitely rendered details. Soldani had learned at the shortlived Medicean Academy in Rome, where one of his instructors had been Ercole Ferrata, himself a follower of Algardi. Soldani was thus a leading member of the third generation of sculptors in the tradition of the Roman Baroque, of which the present group, Ganymede and the Eagle, is a typical product.

M

It was probably statuary after the Antique and his splendid portrait medallions that initially attracted the British ‘Milordi’ to Soldani’s studio at the Mint, which was conveniently situated opposite the entrance to the Uffizi Gallery. Surviving correspondence from the sculptor to his representative in London, G.G. Zamboni, describes Soldani’s attempts to sell, and get payment from, these well-heeled English gentlemen. Soldani’s first letter, of 15 October 1716, described Lord Burlington’s purchase of two bronze reliefs of The Seasons and his order for two others (all now in the Royal Collection). It also relates how Burlington commissioned some other groups in bronze from models that he had seen in Soldani’s studio. These had since been cast, but not paid for, and so had not been forwarded to His Lordship. Soldani

enclosed for Zamboni’s benefit a list of the four compositions in question, as well as their measurements and prices. It begins with Venus and Adonis, of which there is an example in the J. Paul Getty Museum, California, and ends with a splendid, Bernini-esque, group of Apollo & Daphne.

In between them, the sculptor lists casts from terracotta models that the flighty young Lord Burlington also had seen and commissioned: a matching pair of rather smaller and simpler groups depicting Leda and the Swan and Ganymede and the Eagle. To Soldani’s chagrin Burlington did not honour his obligation, but further correspondence from Soldani to Zamboni indicate such a pair was later sent to England. The present statuette - with its interesting Anglo-Irish provenance that might take it as far back as 1716 may well be one of them. The only other pair, in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, is from an Italian source. The Earl of Lanesborough was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1756 for Humphrey Butler, 2nd Viscount Lanesborough. The Butler family descended from Theophilus Butler, who represented County Cavan and Belturbet in the Irish House of Commons. In 1715 he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Newtown-Butler, of the County of Fermanagh, with remainder to the heirs male of his father. It may have been he who acquired the present bronze, probably with its pair of Leda and the Swan (now missing), from Soldani’s representative G.G. Zamboni in London.

Oriental Rugs & Carpets Lots 532-538 are from Ardkinglas House, generally considered Sir Robert Lorimer’s masterpiece. Built for Sir Andrew Noble and completed in 1907, the house is situated at the head of Loch Fyne and was a truly ‘modern’ Scottish Arts & Crafts house when it was built, incorporating concrete construction, central heating, and an internal telephone system among other amenities. Still a private residence, Ardkinglas remains largely unchanged from its original plan.

BUYERS The Auctioneer carries on business with bidders, Buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection with, a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein..

DEFINITIONS In these Conditions of Sale (Buyers): "Auctioneer" means Lyon & Turnbull Ltd or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; "Hammer price" means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the Auctioneer brings down the hammer; "Lot" means each Item offered for sale by Lyon & Turnbull; "Purchase Price" is the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer's Premium; "Reserve" means the lowest price below which an item cannot be sold; "Total amount due" means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax or other taxes chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting Buyer under these Conditions; “You”, “Your” means the Buyer “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate.

2. AGENCY Lyon & Turnbull acts as agent solely for and in the interests of the Seller. We do not act for Buyers in this role and does not give advice to Buyers. When Lyon & Turnbull make a statement about a lot it is doing so on behalf of the Seller of the lot.

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

3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security and credit references or arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (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.

(c) Once made, no bid may be withdrawn. (d) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (e) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (f) Commission Bids: While prospective Buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so.

Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. (g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale 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.

4. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer's sole discretion.

5. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each lot purchased a Buyer's Premium of 25% is payable on the first £50,000 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.

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.

(3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.

7. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist's Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006.

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.

(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.

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.

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. Our condition report does not form any contract between Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer.

(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 and 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. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.

(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.

(b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers. (c) Lyon & Turnbull undertakes to inform the Seller of any offers it receives in relation to an item prior to any Proposed Sale, excluding the normal method of commission bids.

Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. 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, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.
