beautiful and substantial country house. Since 1976 the Hall has belonged to Frederick Cowley. Frederick, or ‘Fred’ as he was known, was associated with business in the Guildford area since 1951 when he founded his electrical engineering company in an old barn in the back lanes of the town. He went on to grow the business and acquire several more. In the 1990s he met his second wife Anne, also in the electrical engineering business, and they married in 1999. In the same year Fred was awarded an MBE for services to the Electrical Engineering Industry, receiving his award for Her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace. Together Fred and Anne continued to develop the business further and the company went on to become the foremost privately owned electrical manufacturer in the UK with most of the sales going to the middle and far east. As well as their business Fred and Anne shared a love for horse racing and owned several race horses. They enjoyed a long association with Ascot racecourse as Royal Enclosure members and race sponsors. Fred sadly

12 A CHARLES I CARVED OAK ARMORIAL CREST 17TH CENTURY carved and pierced in high relief 57cm wide, 58cm high Note: A person’s coat of arms indicated their lineage and social standing. Carved armorial panels were thus made to be displayed prominently in aristocratic homes as a visible sign of their pedigree. Royal armorial panels, such as this one showing the arms of Charles I, were similarly used to display familial links or close friendship with the monarchy. They might be hung above doorways or used as the centrepiece of chimneypiece and state bed decorations. After the 1534 English Reformation, they were also made to go in churches, a practice which continued throughout the 17th century.

Note: This snuff box is entirely typical of the early type of Scottish box making, most popular during the 1820s. The primary product of the Scottish workshops at this time was hand-painted snuffboxes utilising the new ‘hidden hinge’ technique. As all the decoration was carefully drawn on by artisans these boxes were relatively time-consuming to produce. It was only the introduction of transfer printing centred around the town of Mauchline in Ayrshire during the 1840s that allowed makers to produce objects in large quantities, primarily for the tourist market.

Edgar choose to focus his artistic attentions solely on the animals of the farmyard, depicting poultry, cattle, horses, donkeys and doves in romanticised scenes. His highly detailed technique meant he became the foremost painter of his generation in this particular, popular genre. Artworks like ‘Farmyard Friends’ held a great appeal for those living in the city, who maintained a particular fondness for the countryside, and wished to decorate their urban homes with its scenes. It is little surprise that Hunt found such success, and a group of wealthy collectors, in his hometown of Birmingham, the leading manufacturing city of the time.

During his time there, Torriglia was focussed on religious scenes and earned various commissions to create decorative schemes for the inside of several churches in nearby towns. From 1901, he re-located to Tuscany, and it was at this time that he started to move away from religious and historical painting and commence creating the romantic scenes of domestic, family life that he is now known for. ‘At the Spinning Wheel’ is a lovely example of Torriglia’s ability to create charming, family scenes, with strong characterisation and a clear narrative element. His precise attention to detail is clearly apparent in the busy scene, which clearly demonstrates the tenderness between three generations of the family and their shared joy in domestic activity.

111 HA950/201 FELIX SCHLESINGER (GERMAN, 1833-1910) FEEDING TIME Signed, oil on canvas 43cm x 58cm (17in x 22.75in) Provenance: Purchased Haynes Fine Art of Broadway, 2000 Note: Following his completion of art training at the Dusseldorf Academy, Felix Schlesinger worked in Paris and then Munich. Munich was an important location for the visual arts at this time and Schlesinger quickly became a member of the local school of artists, developing his work to adopt their characteristic naturalist style. His rustic, narrative genre scenes, such as ‘Feeding Time’ were particularly popular with the wealthy middle classes who appreciated the romanticised wholesome-ness of the scenes. Rabbits became a recurrent emblem in his work and this can be read in a variety of ways: as a realistic focus of the depicted working class, who regularly ate rabbit and bred them to sell on, but also as an acknowledgment to the history of art where they were included in 17th century still-lifes as an opportunity to show off painterly skill. The rabbit can also be recognised as a symbol of abundance, and alongside the ruddy cheeks and wholesome appearance of the barefoot children, add to the romanticised view of a rural lifestyle.

142 HA950/222 ADOLPHE ALEXANDRE LESREL (FRENCH, 1839-1935) FIGURES IN AN INTERIOR Signed and dated 1905, oil on panel 55cm x 66cm (21.5in x 26in) Provenance: Purchased Fine Art of Oakham, 1999

£8,000-12,000 ‘Figures in an Interior’ is a typical work by Lesrel. The balanced interior composition with a window out to the city sets the scene for the main focus of the picture, the group of figures, which allows the artist to demonstrate his talents in the highly detailed depiction of their luxurious clothing, accessories and accoutrements. From sumptuous silks and velvets swathed across the figures and the background to sparkling silver objects and weapons, even a collection of dead game to the far left, every element of the composition contributes to the feeling of richness and excess, a tribute to Lesrel’s skill and attention to detail. Lesrel developed his particular approach from the influence of Jean Louis Ernes Meissonier (1815-1891), who had embraced a new genre of history painting that responded to a widespread interest in romanticised views of the past. Meissonier was focussed on a highly-finished style and well-researched historical detail, and Lesrel followed in his footsteps, finding a strong market for his romantic historical scenes across England, France and the U.S.A. Scenes of musicians, such as ‘The Music Party’ (Lot 157) were a particular speciality of Lesrel’s, as the subject lent itself so perfectly to his technical ability to depict detail and lustre. Lesrel exhibited at the Salon regularly throughout his career, receiving an honourable mention in 1889. His work can be found in museums across the world including in the New York Public Library and the Musee de Beaux-Arts, France.

143 HA950/214 ANDREA LANDINI (ITALIAN, 1847-1935) NE BOUGEONS PLUS Signed, oil on canvas 51cm x 61cm (20in x 24in) Provenance: Purchased Fine Art of Oakham, 1997

£12,000-18,000 Landini began his career as a portrait painter working within Florentine society, earning various commissions in response to his skill and reputation. In search of a more lucrative level of commission, Landini moved on to Rome and then Paris, where he focussed on, and ultimately became the leading artist within the genre of Cardinal painting. The popularity of the genre lay in its humorous send-up of the previously highly-respected, uncriticised sector of society and the suggestion in these paintings that they led an extremely lavish lifestyle, and were not quite as respectable as they might wish to appear. The genre became particularly commercially successful as a result of a new economic prosperity, and the simultaneous reduction in respect for the church across society more generally. The highly finished nature of Landini’s painting was particularly suited to the portrayal of such lavish and luxurious scenes, picking up the intricate details of their robes, furniture, silverware and objet d’art.

This is due to the area’s importance in the development of iron smelting during the Industrial Revolution.

During the mid-nineteenth century Coalbrookdale became particularly noted for its decorative ironwork, most often seen in items such a garden furniture and gates. A famous example are the Coalbrookdale Gates of Hyde Park, made for the Great Exhibition of 1851.

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.

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. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the lot. (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. Our condition report does not form any contract between Lyon & Turnbull and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Seller’s obligations in any way.

12. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES, DIAMONDS & GEMSTONES (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.

(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 the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. 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. Buyers should also be aware that Lyon & Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. (3) Diamonds & Gemstones: Please note that diamonds and gemstones cannot be accurately graded and measured when mounted in jewellery. Unless it is stated in the catalogue and condition report that the item is accompanied by an independent report by a named gemmological laboratory, the information provided about the colour, clarity and size of a gemstone is the opinion of our department jewellery specialists. Please note in the event that Lyon and Turnbull has been given or has obtained certificates for any lot in the sale, Lyon and Turnbull nor the Seller accepts any liability for contradictions or differing certificates obtained by Buyers on any lots post sale. Diamonds and gemstones are not unmounted by the department, therefore any information provided in this instance is an approximate understanding of the quality of the gemstone under these limitations. Without an independent report the department are generally unable to give an opinion on any potential treatments a gem material has been subjected to. Many gemstones and diamonds have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance and unless stated buyers should presume gemstones/diamonds have been exposed to some sort of treatment. 13. CITES Please be aware that all lots marked with the symbol Y are subject to CITES regulations when exporting these items outside the EU. These regulations may be found at http://www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/ imports-

exports/cites/ Lyon & Turnbull accepts no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such. 14.

(d) For the purposes of a private treaty sale, if a lot is sold in any other currency than Sterling, the exchange rate is to be taken on the date of sale. 15. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation, safety and security arrangements.
