Foreword by Dr Lynn Hulse Paul Reeves and I share a passion for embroidered textiles and over the past decade I have acquired a number of beautiful pieces from him. Textiles as Art features around 200 machine- and handmade embroideries personally chosen by Paul as well as woven and printed textiles from Britain and overseas, many by well-known artists, designers and makers, dating from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As an embroiderer and textile historian specialising in ornamental needlework created for the domestic interior c. 1860-1914, I am particularly drawn to the works of the Arts and Crafts Movement, and value immensely Paul’s knowledge and expertise in this field. Since the Renaissance the decorative arts in general, and textiles in particular, have occupied an inferior position in Western art. William Morris and his circle sought to bridge the chasm that separated the “greater” and “lesser” arts, setting up in 1887 the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society, which displayed not only paintings, sculpture and architectural drawings, but also the arts and handicrafts of design. According to its founding president, Walter Crane, the ACES desired ‘to give the opportunity to the designer and craftsman to exhibit their work to the public for its artistic

interest and thus to assert the claims of decorative art and handicraft to attention equally with the painter of easel pictures, hitherto almost exclusively associated with the term art in the public mind.’ It was designer/makers like Morris’s younger daughter May who rose to the challenge of elevating needlework from a domestic craft to a serious art form through the conjoining of technical skill with originality in the selection and arrangement of colours, the choice of suitable materials and good design: the definition of art embroidery. Despite suffering a reversal of fortune between the First and Second World Wars, the status of embroidery has once again been raised from a genteel hobby to an art form through the pioneering work of Constance Howard, Beryl Dean and the founding members of the 62 Group, and needlework can take ‘its rightful place alongside the fine arts’. It is in this spirit that the objects for sale in this catalogue, drawn from the past 175 years of artistic endeavour, may be appreciated and enjoyed as works of art in the modern home. Lynn Hulse Visiting Research Fellow, Victoria & Albert Museum and Co-founder of Ornamental Embroidery

A Textile Affair I love textiles, their feel and colour, their mood enhancing and aesthetic properties. The importance of textiles to human beings is nearly as old as Homo Sapiens itself. Once the art of weaving had been discovered it was only a matter of time before the introduction of art into weaving. Before long, embellishments such as embroidery, painting and printing became a natural extension to the basic technique of makingÂ cloth. Like all art and craft, there are examples which are deemed high or low, exclusive or populist. I believe examples from all these mediums, with thoughtful selection, can be reappraised and have a place for us to enjoy as art in our homes today. The auction â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Textiles as Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, hosted with Lyon & Turnbull, consists of examples all selected by myself and includes pieces from the 1840s to the beginning of this, the 21st century. I have chosen works of popular art such as Berlin work, Folk art, and machine woven, embroidered and printed textiles, but also handmade ones such as loomed and printed textiles by William Morris and embroideries designed by Robert Lorimer, May Morris and the artists of the Glasgow School.

Many of my choices are, inevitably, from the field with which I am usually associated, The Art & Design Movements of the 19th & 20th centuries. Perhaps more of a surprise will be the modernist embroideries, the naive and folk art pieces, ranging from a First World War handkerchief to a 1960s collage of an imagined Victorian interior and an African print of telephones from the 1980s. I have also found the domestic embroideries of the 1930s, beach and village scenes and modernist floral designs irresistible and evocative of a lost and charming world. The machine stitched embroideries from the 1960s herald new designs and techniques for the modern era. All of these types do and have, happily coexisted in my own home alongside furniture by Godwin, Burges, Mackintosh, Voysey et al collected primarily for my own enjoyment but (nearly!) always admired by friends and visitors. I hope that you too, will appreciate and enjoy this selection. Paul Reeves. February 2017. With my special thanks to Dr. Lynn Hulse, Barley Roscoe and Hannah Whyman.

ERLIN wool work patterns were first published in Berlin, Germany, early in the 19th century and were issued mostly as single sheets which made them affordable. Soon they were exported to Britain and the United States, where ‘Berlin work’ became popular. In Britain, it received a further boost through the Great Exhibition of 1851, and by the advent of ladies’ magazines such as ‘The Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine’.

Subjects to be embroidered were influenced by Victorian Romanticism and included floral designs, Victorian paintings, biblical or allegorical motifs. By the late 1870s demand for this sort of work waned, as the publishers failed to adapt and their offerings became less fashionable as more modern and artistic styles emerged, championed by William Morris and others.

Literature: Watt, Melinda, ‘Textile Production in Europe: Silk, 1600–1800’, in Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000 Note: Patterned silk velvet was the most expensive and prestigious of all woven textiles. Under Louis XIV the superintendent of finance Jean‑Baptiste Colbert launched an ambitious scheme to organize and promote the textile industries in France, both at home and abroad. Lyon, which had previously been an important trade centre for merchants importing Italian textiles, emerged as the centre of the reorganized industry, and subsequently overtook Tours as the largest French producer of luxurious silk textiles. It has been estimated that more than one-third of the population of Lyon, almost 15,000 workers, was involved in the silk industry either directly or indirectly by the late eighteenth century.

41 WILLIAM MORRIS (1834-1896) FOR MORRIS & CO. ’STRAWBERRY THIEF’ COTTON HANGING PANEL, CIRCA 1883 depicting opposed thrushes on a strawberry plant ground, indigo-discharged and block-printed cotton, within later green linen border 28.5 x 89.5cm, including border 55 x 113cm Literature: Victoria & Albert Museum T.586-1919 £350-450

Note: This printed cotton furnishing textile was intended to be used for curtains or draped around walls (a form of interior decoration advocated by William Morris), or for loose covers on furniture. This is one of Morris best-known designs. He based the pattern and name on the thrushes which frequently stole the strawberries in the kitchen garden of his countryside home, Kelmscott Manor, in Oxfordshire. Despite the fact that this design was one of the most expensive printed furnishings available from Morris & Co., it became a firm favourite with clients. The pattern was printed by the indigo discharge method, an ancient technique used for many centuries mostly in the East. Morris admired

the depth of colour and crispness of detail that it produced. He first attempted to print by this method in 1875 but it was until 1881, when he moved into his factory at Merton Abbey, near Wimbledon, that he succeeded.In May 1883 Morris wrote to his daughter, ‘I was a great deal at Merton last week ... anxiously superintending the first printing of the Strawberry thief, which I think we shall manage this time.’ Pleased with this success, he registered the design with the Patents Office. This pattern was the first design using the technique in which red (in this case alizarin dye) and yellow (weld) were added to the basic blue and white ground.

42 SIR ROBERT LORIMER (1864-1929)

IMPORTANT CREWELWORK HANGING PANEL FOR EARLSHALL, FIFE, DATED 1893 depicting the Tree of Life, russet silk embroidery on a natural linen ground, with later linen backing, bears hand-written label WOVEN BY J.R.S. MACKENZIE/IN 1893 177 x 154cm £18,000-22,000

Provenance: Earlshall Castle, Fife, Scotland Note: In 1890 Sir Robert Lorimer was commissioned by R.W.R. Mackenzie to restore and enhance his sixteenth century tower house, Earlshall, near Leuchars in Fife, Scotland. Lorimer designed several pieces of furniture for the house, including the settle now in LACMA and the buffet which Walter Shaw Sparrow illustrated in his The British Home of To-Day (1904). The work included embroideries to complete the decorative scheme. Walter Shaw Sparrow illustrated the bedcover from this set (now with The National Museums of Scotland) in The Modern Home (published in 1908). These embroideries were worked by Mackenzie’s wife Jessie and her friends in 1893 and remained at Earlshall until the contents were sold in 1983. Sir William Bruce built the castle in 1546. He had fought at, and unusually, survived the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Mary, Queen of Scots, visited in 1561. One of the family was killed at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, fighting for Charles II; and another Sir Andrew is known as “Bloody Bruce”. He and his men killed Richard Cameron, a noted Covenanter, at Airds Moss. Bruce then hacked off Cameron’s head and hands and took them back to Edinburgh. The castle was abandoned and ruinous before being restored for R.W.R. Mackenzie by Sir Robert Lorimer in 1892. The gardens were re-laid and the formal garden replanted.

HYLLIS Barron and Dorothy Larcher produced their own hand-blocked textiles in London and, from 1930 in Painswick, Gloucestershire. Barron, who had trained at the Slade, first became interested in printing fabrics on discovery of some printing blocks whilst on holiday in France. She researched dying at the British Museum and the V&A libraries. As a member of the London Group from 1916 until 1921 she would have been in contact with the leading artists of the day, and very quickly she came to the attention of Roger Fry who asked her to exhibit at the Omega Workshop. Dorothy Larcher meanwhile had been working in India and on her return met Barron through the embroideress Eve Simmonds. She joined Barron in 1923 and together they moved to a workshop in Hampstead. Through Detmar Blow they secured a commission to furnish the coming-out dance of the Duke of Westminster, and another commission through the Duke led to a commission for cushions for Coco Chanel’s garden in Paris. They moved to the Cotswolds in 1930 where the local water was particularly suitable for madder dying and from where they secured commissions from Girton College, Cambridge, the furniture maker Eric Sharpe amongst many others. The impossibility of obtaining good quality fabrics during the Second World War forced them to give up their business.

’LA CHASSE’ COTTON TWILL PANEL, CIRCA 1920 depicting a hunter in the forest, hand blocked print on heavy cotton, framed 92.5 x 127cm Provenance: ‘Two Centuries of Design: The Bianchini-Férier Collection’ Christies, London, 25-27th July 2001 £800-1,200

Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) designed this furnishing fabric called ‘La Chasse’ for Bianchini-Férier about 1920. It is made of woodblock printed linen and cotton. Dufy was a painter who had exhibited with the Fauves and first began to design textiles for Paul Poiret in 1911. From 1912 until 1930 he designed woven and printed textiles for the silk manufacturers Bianchini-Férier. He created a range of lively fabrics in bright colours, many of which were bought by leading couturiers such as Lanvin, Patou and Poiret. ‘La Chasse’ is part of the ‘Toiles de Tournon’ series, which was made at the Bianchini-Férier factory at Tournon, near Lyon, in the early 1920s. The title of the series reflects Dufy’s aspiration to produce a modern day furnishing fabric in the same vein as Oberkampf’s 18th century toiles de Jouy. These often depicted groups of people interspersed with vegetation. Dufy’s design is also reminiscent of popular prints. Areas of colour are skilfully balanced against a plain background to achieve dynamic repeats in an ostensibly rough-hewn manner. Shortly before Poiret employed him, Dufy had produced woodcuts to illustrate the poet Apollinaire’s volume ‘Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d’Orphée’. All the Bianchini-Férier examples in this sale originally came from the company archives and are in remarkable condition.

Note: Born in London in 1923 Bernard Moss was descended from Russian émigrés and it was while working as a fabric designer that an acquaintance taught him how to make moulds. He moved with his family to Mevagissey in Cornwall in 1949, due to the high cost of living in London. He was approached by a local artist to produce a moulded sculpture and from this commission set up a pottery of his own. Moss made the moulds and his wife Moreen decorated them. His fascination with automata led him to experiment with moving figures ‑ he had heard that Heals in London was a good outlet for ceramics and took an example of one of his nodding figures to sell. After some negotiation the orders grew and Heal’s bought eighty or so each year as gifts for their best clients.

180 [§] CONSTANCE HOWARD (1910-2000)

’HARVEST MOON’, LARGE AND RARE EMBROIDERED APPLIQUÉ PANEL, CIRCA 1960 worked in wool, silk and other textiles and with applied beads, in original giltwood frame with plaque inscribed HARVEST MOON/CONSTANCE HOWARD 90 x 85cm Literature: Goldsmiths, University of London, Professor Ben Pimlott, ‘Constance Howard, MBE’, 2017 Pimlott, Ben, The Guardian, ‘Constance Howard, As artist and teacher, she transformed the status of embroidery and textile design’, 2000 Note: Arguably the most influential British pioneer in textile design of her generation Constance Howard (1910-2000) transformed the status of embroidery and textile design. When Howard began, embroidery and textile design were seen by many people as a comparatively minor craft, and the rise of its artistic standing owes a great deal to her work and example. Born in Northampton, from the age of 10 she began to study art at

evening classes. After leaving school at 14, she was denied a grant to the Royal College of Art. In 1945, after marrying sculptor Harold Wilson Parker, she became a part-time tutor at Goldsmiths College, London. She later became principal lecturer of textiles and fashion and established an embroidery department in the art school. The course at Goldsmiths came to influence textile design everywhere. Howard viewed embroidery as an art form and a vehicle for artistic self-expression.

leading exponent of modernist design in ecclesiastical embroidery Beryl Dean (1911-2000) introduced an entirely new approach to a field hitherto originally limited to a traditional Victorian style. Studying embroidery at the Royal School of Needlework, Dean became especially interested in ecclesiastical embroidery in the 1950’s. Undertaking several church commissions, Dean helped to reintroduce embroidery into the church, making it possible for the embroiderer to once again be respected as both a designer and maker of church textiles. Driven to inspire a younger generation, she was involved in the Needlework Development Scheme. Throughout her career she taught at different art institute’s in London and in 1935 was awarded a Royal Exhibition to the Royal College of Art. Afterwards she continued teaching various aspects of textile crafts, including millinery and dressmaking and designing costumes for the ballet.

Promoting her particular niche in the late 1950’s, Dean taught students ecclesiastical embroidery throughout Britain and North America. At the same time she produced publications such as ‘Ecclesiastical Embroidery’ (1958); ‘Church Needlework’ (1961); ‘Ideas for Church Embroidery’ (1968); ‘Creative Applique’ (1970); and ‘Embroidery for Religion and Ceremonial’ (1981). In 1968, she was involved in organising an exhibition of contemporary ecclesiastical embroidery in the crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral in London. The interest generated by the show led to the formation of ecclesiastical embroidery groups all over Britain and a revival of metal thread techniques. In 1975 Dean was appointed an MBE for services to embroidery for the church. The pair of appliqué panels offered here are a rare example of Dean’s secular work.

ONOURED with an MBE for service to Scottish Art Education in 1969, Kathleen Whyte is known for her contributions to the revival of embroidery throughout Scotland.

One of the most distinct, a commission by the Tay Road Bridge Joint Board in 1966, was an embroidered stole, incorporating pearls from the river, and which was worn by the Queen Mother and featured in various exhibitions. Originally from Arbroath, Whyte and her family joined her father in Jamshedpur, India for short spells throughout her childhood. Introduced to embroidery at a young age, Whyte was taught the curriculum derived from Anne Macbeth and Margaret Swanson’s book ‘Educational Needlecraft’ (1911). Later she went on to study craft and design at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen then taught art at local schools for several years.

At a time when embroidery was being revived in Glasgow, Whyte became embroidery and weaving lecturer at Glasgow School of Art, in 1948, embracing the fashionable influence of contemporary Scandinavian embroidery and weaving. Whyte went on to become responsible for updating and improving the design course at the School of Art and visited other art schools throughout UK to assess and evaluate the new Diploma in Art and Design courses. Later, she developed higher education courses as an Art Adviser to the Scottish Education Department.Her work was featured in “A Scottish Celebration”, a touring exhibition of contemporary textiles to mark the centenary of the foundation of the Embroiderers’ Guild, which opened at Aberdeen Art Gallery in October 2006. Examples of her work can be found in the Royal Scottish Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, many churches, and in other public and private collections.

(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); (d) to remove, store and insure the lot in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere and to recover from you all costs incurred in respect thereof; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month above the current base rate on all sums outstanding for more than 7 working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or which become due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due by you and to exercise a lien over any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. 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. 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.

(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.

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

(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. (6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with current safety regulation. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. Lyon & Turnbull provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item. (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, 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. 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 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

14. SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY (a) The same Conditions of Sale (Buyers) shall apply to sales by private treaty.

(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. (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.
