ITEMS FROM THE ESTATE OF THE LATE 5TH EARL OF LOVELACE The fortunes of the King family, firstly as Barons King and later Earls of Lovelace, began with Peter King (1669-1734) of Exeter, Devon. A clever and studious boy, he spent three years at the University in Leiden, before embarking on a career in London where he acquired a high reputation for his legal knowledge. He went on to hold the office of Lord Chief Justice and Lord Chancellor. He was created 1st Lord King, Baron of Ockham in 1725 by George I. Each of Peter King’s four sons succeeded to the title, with Thomas, 5th Baron (1712-1779) succeeded by his son, Peter, the 6th Baron (17361793). He had three sons, the eldest of whom, also Peter (17761833), 7th Baronet, became the next to inherit. The 7th Baronet made many improvements to Ockham Park, the family estate in Surrey, and it is easy to speculate that much of the late Georgian and early Regency furniture for sale here were purchased at that time. The eldest of the Baron’s two sons, William (1805-1893), 8th Baron King of Ockham and 1st Earl of Lovelace, was also a significant figure in the family history. William entered the diplomatic service and became secretary to Lord Nugent, Lord Commissioner of the Ionian Islands, and retained a love of the Eastern Mediterranean after being recalled to England in 1833. At the age of 22 he assumed to title Lord King, and returned to Ockham, and was created an Earl in 1838, one of the elevations made to celebrate the coronation of Queen Victoria. The Lovelace title was chosen to mark that his wife Ada was a descendant of the Barons Lovelace of Hurley. He purchased the East Horsley estate in 1840 and rechristened the enlarged Tudor style house designed by Sir Charles Barry ‘Horsley Towers’. Some of the Gothic Revival furniture made for Horsley follows, specifically lots 164 and 173.

In 1886 William purchased the 12,000 acre Ben Damph Forest on the south side of Loch Torridon, and built the sporting lodge, Ben Damph House in 1887. After his death, the title passed to his surviving second son Ralph King-Milbanke (1839-1906), 2nd Earl of Lovelace and 13th Baron Wentworth and subsequently his stepbrother, Lionel Fortescue King (1865-1929), 3rd Earl. In 1920 Lionel sold Horsley Towers, and Ockham had passed into the family of the 2nd Earl, so he moved to Whitwell Hatch, Haslemere, as well as retaining a house in Knightsbridge and the Ben Damph estate. His son, Peter Malcolm King (1905-1964) became the 4th Earl and took the opportunity to buy Torridon House and estate in 1960 and moved across the loch from Ben Damph. On the 4th Earl’s death in 1964, his son Peter Axel William Locke King, (1951-2018) became the 5th Earl of Lovelace. A man of various interests, he married Kathleen, Countess of Lovelace, having been introduced by mutual friends in Turkey in 1993. The following selection of lots, from the Gothic Revival furniture commissioned for Horsley Towers, and the Georgian and Regency furniture supplied Ockham, and the furnishing pieces from Torridon House, the collection of artefacts is intimately entwined with an illustrious family through the ages.

164 SET OF EIGHT EARLY VICTORIAN OAK AND POLYCHROME HERALDIC ‘GLASTONBURY’ CHAIRS, BEARING THE LOVELACE COAT-OF-ARMS MID 19TH CENTURY the backs carved with various fruits and flowers above a quatrefoil panel enclosing the carved and polychromed Lovelace coat-of-arms and motto LABOR IPSE VALUPTAS, on X legs with brass castors; with seven embossed leather seat pads in green and red dyed hide (8) 57cm wide, 86cm high, 42cm deep Provenance: Commissioned for Horsley Towers, Surrey, by William King, 1st Earl of Lovelace, probably between 1846 and 1860 The estate of the late 5th Earl of Lovelace

£7,000-9,000

Note: An original medieval Glastonbury chair survived in the Bishop’s Palace at Wells where Pugin almost certainly saw it, and another example was known at Strawberry Hill. Pugin copied the form exactly, although he did not add the original carved decoration to his versions (see V&A collection, British Galleries, Room 122e). The present examples are elaborately carved to the backs with coats of arms. The full coat of arms dates from the 30 June 1838, when William King, 8th Baron King of Ockham was elevated to the titles 1st Earl of Lovelace and Viscount Ockham. The chairs were likely to have been made after 1846, when the 1st Earl started living at Horsley Towers, and before 1860; as on the 29 Sept 1860 William King adopted the name and arms King-Noel by royal licence. Literature: Atterbury, Paul and Wainwright, Clive, Pugin: A Gothic Passion, London 1994, p. 132, illus. plate 233.

168 RARE PARQUETRY, MOTHER-OF-PEARL AND BRASS INLAID OCCASIONAL TABLE, PROBABLY OTTOMAN FOR THE BRITISH MARKET

The Library, Torridon House, with table in foreground

LATE 18TH CENTURY the dished circular top with radiating star inlay, on a spiral turned column and three cabriole legs with scrolled feet 77cm diameter, 71cm high

£3,000-5,000

Note: The inlay on this very British form of tripod table is highly unusual and may have been a specific commission. The use of star and crescent motherof-pearl inlay hints at a possible Ottoman origin or involvement, perhaps Istanbul. The wire inlay is reminiscent of similar work on Ottoman firearms. William King, 1st Earl of Lovelace, was secretary to Lord Nugent, commissioner of the Ionian Islands, prior to 1833. Whilst there, he travelled extensively, meeting Mehemet Ali, Pasha of Egypt. He may have picked this piece up during his time in the region.

£2,500-3,500

Note: The firm of George Oakley in London characteristically produced Grecian style furniture at the turn of the 19th century, and were known for their use of boullework. Their designs and craftsmanship earned them royal patronage and Oakley himself worked for the Prince Regent at Carlton House, as well as supplying furniture and upholstery for the Mansion House and the Bank of England. He was greatly influenced by the work of Thomas Hope, as well as contemporary French furniture designs. Similar handles and stretcher design can be seen on a table offered by Bonham’s London, 7th March 2012, lot 227.

Dining chair from Scarrisbrick Hall, designed by A.W.N. Pugin, circa 1837-40

173 SET OF SIXTEEN GOTHIC REVIVAL OAK DINING CHAIRS, IN THE MANNER OF A.W.N. PUGIN MID 19TH CENTURY including two carvers, each with a moulded rectangular back, the back and seat covered in red floral pattern cut velvet, on faceted knopped legs and toupie feet, the armchairs with additional carving, the back legs with later buttresses fitted with ceramic castors (16) 48cm wide, 94cm high, 49cm deep

£5,000-7,000

Provenance: Commissioned for Horsley Towers, Surrey, by William King, 1st Earl of Lovelace, probably after 1850 The estate of the late 5th Earl of Lovelace Literature: Atterbury, Paul and Wainwright, Clive, Pugin: A Gothic Passion, London 1994, pp.131-132, illus. plates 229 and 232.

Note: Pugin designed a more elaborate x-frame armchair for Scarisbrick Hall in 1836, based on a design for a chair which he had illustrated in ‘Gothic Furniture’ of 1835, which demonstrates his archaeological approach to chair design. The armchairs in this set borrow several characteristics from that chair, most notably the elaborate scrollwork terminals on the arms and the form of the back, with its rounded and moulded rectangular form and arched top rail with carved panel. The legs are reminiscent of Pugin’s chairs for the House of Commons, however the brackets for castors at the rear of the back legs look to be an eccentric Lovelace addition.

£250-350 Note: Mortlock was a merchandising rather than a manufacturing operation. It has been described as arguably the most important china retailer in London in the early nineteenth century. It exercised enormous power and influence over the manufacturers, particularly including Coalport, insisting that the products that Mortlocks sold should bear the Mortlock mark rather than that of the original maker. By 1803, Mortlock was claiming to supply “Her Majesty [Queen Charlotte] and the Royal Family” with “Coalbrook Dale [Coalport] porcelain”. In the late 1830s Mortlock provided Coalport pieces for Queen Victoria.

He entered the diplomatic service and became secretary to Lord Nugent, Lord Commissioner of the Ionian islands. At the age of twenty-eight, on the death of his father, and now Lord King, William returned to Ockham where two years later he married Augusta Ada Lovelace, daughter of Lord Byron, the celebrated poet. His wife Ada was a significant figure in her own right. She had been a child prodigy able to tackle geometry and mathematics, play the violin and guitar and fluent in several languages by the age of ten. Sadly, the marriage did not last and William embarked on the architectural works in polychrome bricks for which he is best known. It was William who added the foothold in Torridon to the family’s estates. He was Lord Lieutenant of the County from 1840-1993. He died in 1893.

PAINTINGS PART I INCLUDING WORKS FROM THE ESTATE OF THE LATE WILLIAM (BILLY) SKELLY (1931-2019)


66

THE ESTATE OF THE LATE WILLIAM (BILLY) SKELLY (1931-2019)

Billy Skelly was a ‘well kent’ face in the Scottish art market. Born in Motherwell, where his father had a small garage, Billy went on to run one of the strongest Ford dealerships in Scotland. In addition to paintings, Billy’s main interest was motor racing and in the early 1950’s he competed extensively in non-championship Formula 1 and Formula 2 races. After 1953, Billy only raced rarely as his business interests grew, although he remained an active member of the British Racing Driver’s Club. After selling his interests in the garages, Billy retired to the Isle of Man but not before he became a frequent buyer in the Scottish auction scene. His taste was wide-ranging as this part of his collection shows – other paintings will be offered in forthcoming Scottish and Contemporary sales - and he remained actively involved in the Scottish market long after his move to the Isle of Man.

They reflect the simpler ornamentation favoured at the beginning of the 19th century, exemplified by the popularity of the ‘klismos’ chair, and are a progression from the sometimes overly complicated Neoclassical design so prevalent in the second half of the 18th. The spare nature of the design is further enhanced by the use of oak, which is atypical for the period, when the taste favoured the use of darker woods finished with ebonised mouldings and brass mounts, as detailed in the published designs of Thomas Hope. Gillows of Lancaster were known to produce commissioned pieces in oak, and the restrained approach of the form and moulded embellishments incorporates subtle references to their Greek antecedents.

£400-600

Note: Benjamin Zobel was a British-German painter, who developed the technique of marmotino, otherwise known as sand painting. It was based on the Japanese craft of bonseki (tray painting), and was at the height of its popularity in England at the end of the 19th century. In 1783, George III hosted a dinner party where a display of unfixed coloured sands, sugar and marble dust was arranged on the table below a glass surface, by Zobel. So enchanted was the king that Zobel found ways of incorporating sand into his other work, which continued to prove popular with members of the Royal household including the Duke of York. Examples of Zobel’s work are included in the Memmingen city museum archives in Germany, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and Dundurn Castle, Hamilton, Ontario.

WORKS FROM THE ESTATE OF THE LATE DR. VIRGINIA GLENN (1931-2019) Dr. Virginia Glenn was a specialist in decorative arts, especially goldsmiths’ work and seals, and spent most of her career as a museum curator. Born in Armagh in 1941, she studied at the Belfast College of Art and in Edinburgh, and continued to be involved with art historical societies during her life. She worked at the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, before joining the Victoria & Albert Museum, where she focused on tapestries.

In the 1970s she moved to Birmingham City Museum, before returning to Edinburgh in a role at the National Museums Scotland. Here she was involved in major projects such as the refurbishment of the European ceramics and glass galleries. Having taken early retirement in 1996, Dr. Glenn spent her latter years travelling and researching, and enjoying time with friends. She died on 28th December 2018, after a short illness.

Lamb was born in Portadown, Armagh and studied initially at Belfast School of Art. After gaining a scholarship to Dublin’s Metropolitan School of Art, 1917-21, where he won gold and silver medals, Lamb settled in Carraroe, County Galway. He became noted for his studies of peasant life and views of the local landscape and both aspects of his work are represented in this collection. He travelled extensively in Ireland but also further afield to Brittany. A member of the RHA and RUA, he exhibited widely in Ireland and abroad, including the Royal Academy. In 1969, the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art held a memorial show and most Irish public collections hold examples of his work.

330 ISABEL CODRINGTON (BRITISH 1874-1943) THE ONION ROVER

‘IN THE FOREFRONT OF THE MOVEMENT’: THE ART OF ISABEL CODRINGTON

Oil on canvas 122cm x 91cm (48in x 36in) Provenance: The artist’s family and thence by descent

£5,000-7,000

BY KENNETH MCCONKEY With the Great War, the modernist experiment in the fine arts was temporarily suspended. Many artists, including Picasso, returned to various forms of realism which, in the 1920s, led to a renewed interest in visual reporting. Those stationed on or close to the Western Front felt that the horror of war demanded it, and that there was no going back to their pre-war aesthetic diversions. Symbolist, Futurist and Cubist abstractions now seemed selfindulgent as painters looked to natural forms in field and flower for signs of renewal. Early evidence is found in the Royal Academy War Pictures exhibition in 1919, as Isabel Codrington (1874-1943) resumed her exhibiting career with the copiously studied Cantine Franco-Britannique, Vitry-le-François, 1919. This scene of jubilation on the Marne celebrated one of the great alliances of history, and also reminded art lovers of a name, and a remarkable talent, that was almost forgotten. Born at Bydown, Swimbridge, near Barnstaple in Devon, Isabel Codrington Pyke-Nott was the daughter of the local squire who sent both his daughters to art school – first on the south coast and then to St John’s Wood Art School, a crèche for the Royal Academy Schools, where Miss PykeNott was offered a place at the age of fifteen. Within a few years of leaving the schools, Codrington met the brilliant young journalist of Austro-Hungarian descent, Paul George Konody (1872-1933). At the time of their marriage in 1901 Konody was editor of The Artist. He would later become art correspondent of The Daily Mail and The Observer, with a wide circle of friends that included the poet, Ezra Pound, the illustrator, Dudley Hardy, the portrait-painter, Philip Alexius de Laszlo and the artist-traveller and former Whistler pupil, Mortimer Menpes. Unfortunately the Konodys’ marriage was not to last and following their divorce, the artist and Gustave Mayer, a partner in a London art dealership, were married in 1913. It was only in 1918, in her mid-forties, that Codrington ‘felt she would like to begin again’. ‘I had forgotten almost everything’, she later told a Devon reporter, but as is clear from the war museum commission, her remarkable skill as a draughtswoman had not left her, and ‘Codrington’, as she chose to be known, was set to emerge (Western Morning News, 16 May 1928, p. 5). Throughout the 1920s, she showed regularly at the Royal Academy and, after 1923, at the Salon in Paris where, on one occasion she received a ‘Mention Honorable’ from the jury.

Codrington favoured scenes of peasant life drawn from travels in France, Spain and Italy. The heroic Onion Rover, 1923 (lot 330) typifies these, while The Blouse Shop (lot 334) reverts to the picturesque rusticity of coster women and gypsies, common in the work of painters such as Eric Kennington and Albert Rutherston. An article on her work appeared in The Studio in 1925, where she was seen ‘in the forefront of the movement’ to secure recognition for women in the fine arts. Solo exhibitions at the Knoedler Galleries in Paris and the Fine Art Society in London followed in 1926 and 1927. Writing in the Fine Art Society catalogue, Frank Rutter likened Codrington to a ‘straight’ actor – but one whose work was ‘fresh, direct and natural’. Being ‘thrilled by the beauty of colour and texture … she convinces us that … commonplace objects are lovelier than pearls …’, he declared. These exhibitions revealed that the artist’s range extended to landscapes, flower-pieces and still-life paintings. One of her ‘singularly joyous’ landscapes, in the words of the Westminster Gazette, is The Ploughed Field, exhibited in the 1927 show (lot 333). Other landscapes painted around the Mayers’ estate at Wistler’s Wood, Woldingham in Surrey like The Ploughed Field, adopt a clear, clean alla prima style that characterises all her work. While there are echoes of John Nash and Allan Gwynne Jones, space, colour and line are carefully controlled in these sunny scenes of the north Downs. Like that of many women artists of her day, Codrington’s was a short, but highly successful career. In her heroic decision to reacquaint herself with the tools of her trade in the last year of the Great War, she unfurled a flag for all those women who had proved themselves just as capable as their male counterparts. After her final solo exhibition of ‘Flower Paintings’ in 1935, she concentrated on printmaking. She returned to her native Devon during the closing years of her life and died there in 1943. Lyon & Turnbull would like to thank Kenneth McConkey for his assistance in writing the essays and notes accompanying this collection.

331 ISABEL CODRINGTON (BRITISH 1874-1943) PEASANT GIRL Signed with a monogram, oil on canvas 61cm x 46cm (24in x 18in) Provenance: The artist’s family and thence by descent Exhibited: Goupil Fils, London 1927 Note: Codrington’s Peasant Girl is one of a series of perceptive studies of boys and girls painted in the mid-twenties at Wistler’s Wood, her home in Surrey. It is a remarkably confident performance that, with great economy of means, achieves real psychological depth. Beauty, claimed one critic, ‘jumps out at her… she is so intensely moved by the souls of homely places and people and things that she paints them as they stand, and then shocks us into seeing that there is an exquisite loveliness in the commonplace’ (Eve, 11 May 1927, p.320).

332 ISABEL CODRINGTON (BRITISH 1874-1943) THE YOUNG SHEPHERD BOY Oil on canvas 51cm x 41cm (20in x 16in) Provenance: The artist’s family and thence by descent Exhibited: Fine Art Society, London 1927 Note: Although Codrington and George Clausen exhibited together in the Campden Hill Club, the older artist’s formidable pictures of rustics in the manner of Bastien-Lepage were things of an earlier age. He was now essentially a landscape painter specializing in misty mornings and moonlit twilights. For Codrington, however, shepherds, field workers and country characters remained viable subjects, even if they were survivors of a bygone era. In this instance, the farmer’s boy is recorded without sentimentality and no concessions are made to the complexity of his personality.

333 ISABEL CODRINGTON (BRITISH 1874-1943) PLOUGHED FIELD Signed with a monogram, oil on canvas 41cm x 61cm (16in x 24in) Provenance: The artist’s family and thence by descent Exhibited: Fine Art Society, London 1927 Note: Reviewers of Codrington’s exhibition in 1927 commented particularly on landscapes painted within reach of her home at Wistler’s Wood. ‘The Surrey hills and vales’ for one critic, provoked in her ‘the sudden development of her feeling for light and colour … [and] patterns of flowing rhythm that hold a hint of the … subconscious influence of Japanese design …’ (The Observer, 10 April 1927). As in her figure studies, Codrington looks for clean lines and pure colours. In this, she was indeed ‘in the forefront of the movement’ in British landscape painting and for works like Ploughed Field, stands beside John Nash and Stanley Spencer.

By the early twenties, Codrington’s work had fundamentally changed. Having completed her Imperial War Museum commission – an ambitious work entitled Cantine Franco-Britannique, Vitry-leFrançois – she embarked on a series of interiors shown at the Royal Academy and in the Paris Salon. The Blouse Shop is one of these. According to one reviewer it was a picture that ‘stands out’ when first shown at the Grosvenor Galleries summer exhibition in 1923. Essentially a carefully composed costume-piece, it reverts to the picturesque rusticity of coster women and gypsies, common in the work of British painters such as Eric Kennington and Albert Rutherston just prior to the outbreak of war. Codrington takes evident delight in the exotic stuffs her women are discussing in a room at the back of a shop.

336 ISABEL CODRINGTON (BRITISH 1874-1943) LAST RAYS Signed with a monogram, oil on canvas 51cm x 41cm (20in x 16in) Provenance: The artist’s family and thence by descent Exhibited: Fine Art Society, London 1927 Note: Despite the fact that she embraced a plein air tradition in her landscapes, Codrington occasionally returns to her Symbolist roots. In its invitation to explore a dark woodland path, Last Rays evokes an atmosphere of foreboding, almost hinting at the supernatural. In an age fascinated by the Cottingley Fairies, fed on Rackham illustrations and ‘the woodland and the wild’ of WB Yeats, it was not hard to imagine the sprites and elves who might inhabit such a path to a secret garden as this.

337 ISABEL CODRINGTON (BRITISH 1874-1943) IDUNA AND THE EAGLE Watercolour 80cm x 46cm (31.5in x 18in) Provenance: The artist’s family and thence by descent Exhibited: V Exposicion International de Arte, Barcelona 1907, where Isabel, under her maiden name Konody, won a silver medal Note: The medal and certificate awarded to Isabel are included in this lot. Codrington’s subject in this early watercolour is derived from Norse mythology and refers to Iduna, the young woman who picks the golden apples on which the gods depend for their strength. According to legend she was kidnapped by Thiassi, the King of the Giants disguised as an eagle, in the first of many adventures. These tales may well have been remembered from Codrington’s childhood since, according to an interview, the PykeNott siblings, growing up in Devon, ‘revelled in their country life, and the stories of fairies, elves and smugglers …’ (Western Morning News, 21 November 1935, p. 3). In stylistic terms, with its references to Edward Burne-Jones and John William Waterhouse, the work is decidedly of the Celtic Revival period, and is likely to have been painted some years before the Barcelona exhibition at which it was awarded a silver medal. It chimes with that of some of Codrington’s Royal Academy Schools contemporaries – Edwardian Pre-Raphaelites such as Frank Cadogan Cowper, Charles Sims and John and Mary Young Hunter who also appealed to myths and fairy tales from northern Europe and Scandinavia.

BRITISH FURNITURE & WORKS OF ART PART III


138

348 THOMAS THORNYCROFT (1815-1885) QUEEN VICTORIA ON HORSEBACK bronze, dark brown patina, signed T. THORNYCROFT FECIT/ LONDON 1853 and inscribed ART UNION OF LONDON/ 1854 54cm high, 65cm wide approx. Arriving at the Great Exhibition in 1851 visitors were met in the central courtyard by a larger-than-life plaster statue of Queen Victoria on horseback by Thomas Thornycroft. The composition, believed to be derived from an engraving of Victoria reviewing the troops at Chobham, was greatly admired by the sovereign and Prince Albert. Some critics however, felt this version, which showed Victoria in contemporary dress on her lively Arabian horse, too modern, with The Times reviewer going so far as to brand it ‘too anatomical’. Nevertheless, it was favoured by the Queen and used later with some alterations for a large bronze group to accompany an equestrian figure of Prince Albert outside St George’s Hall, Liverpool, completed in 1869. The Art Union of London commissioned Thornycroft to complete fifty statues in bronze, and awarded them as prizes between 1854 and 1859, of which the current lot is one. As part of the commission, he repositioned to horse’s legs, changing them from the plaster version shown at the Great Exhibition. Other examples are in the Royal Collection and the collection of the V&A. Thomas Thornycroft, the son of a farmer, spent four years as an apprentice to the Sculptor John Francis, marrying his daughter Mary, also a sculptor, in 1840. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1839 and 1874 and made numerous large commissions, including Boadicea and Her Daughters on the Western end of Westminster Bridge, and a marble group Commerce for the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gallery.

Tweedy was primarily a business man rather than a craftsman. It is recorded by his apprentice Ralph Hedley that he only saw him hold a tool once when he changed the figure of Miranda from a panel of the “Tempest” into a rock. However, he did have the gift of recognising skilled workmen and giving them employment thus enhancing his considerable reputation. Other carved tableaux from ‘Tam O’Shanter’ attributed to Tweedy are in the collection of the Robert Burns Museum, Ayrshire.

Her owners were Funch & Menke, New York and she was captained by Lauchlan McKay. She measured 258ft. long, with a tonnage of 2421. She was renowned for setting the world record for fastest sailing ship at 22 knots and was the first ship to travel more than 400 nautical miles in 24 hours. On the second leg of her maiden voyage, she made a record passage from Honolulu, Hawaii to New York City in 82 days. She then broke the record to Liverpool, England, making the passage in 13 days 13.5 hours. In 1853 she was chartered by James Baines of the Black Ball Line, Liverpool for the Australia trade, but her career was relatively short, having wrecked in the Strait of Malacca, on a voyage from Hamburg to China, in 1859.

Adams Esq., the ship supplied to Builders Cammell Laird, Birkenhead, in a brass glazed case with ebonised base Ship 127cm long; overall 138cm long This passenger cargo liner was built for Booth Line by Cammell Laird & Co. Ltd, at Birkenhead. Named ‘Hubert’ she was launched on August 31, 1954 and after her fit-out she ran her sea trials early in January 1955. Her short mid-section superstructure was lined with two covered Promenade Decks and above an open Boat/Sports Deck. These decks provided her passengers with ample deck space for relaxation and sport facilities. The aft section also offered a covered deck and a topside recreation deck. First Class had accommodation for 70 passengers in outside cabins and suites, all having a bathroom. There was a Lounge

forward on Promenade Deck which was quite pleasantly wood panelled opening into a large Veranda. The Dining Room was below, both Promenade and Boat Decks were exclusive to First Class passengers. Tourist Class had accommodation for 96 passengers who had cabins for two and four berths, most of which being outside and only some having private facilities. These were located on A and B Decks. Her service continued, but like so many services with newer and more modern and larger passenger ships competing, the Hubert in due course was no longer profitable and there were other markets where she could be of better use within the greater Vestey Bros Shipping Group. Thus by 1964 she was withdrawn and placed on charter to one of their subsidiaries in Asia, the Austasia Line. The next twenty-four years saw a number of changes of owners, names and purposes for the ship, and she was eventually broken up in 1985.

528 CONTINENTAL BRONZE FIGURE OF THE BELVEDERE HERMES 18TH CENTURY dark brown patina, raised on a black marble plinth base Overall 36cm high

£600-800

The original model for this bronze of Hermes was found around 1540 in the gardens surrounding the Mausoleum of Hadrian in Rome, the Castel Sant’Angelo, and bought by Pope Paull III (1534-1549) for the Cortile del Belvedere. For a long time, it was known as Belvedere Antinous, named after the Roman Emperor Hadrian’s famously handsome Greek lover, due to the place he was unearthed and the melancholic look on his face. However, the statue’s similarities with the Hermes of Olympia confirm not only that this is a depiction of the messenger of the gods, it also tells us that the statue in the Vatican is a copy of a work of the great Greek sculptor Praxiteles.

Considered a model of ideal human proportions, the statue inspired many artistic interpretations and copies. The general upsurge of interest in classical antiquity from the Renaissance onwards coincided with a taste for bronze statuettes, and so reduced-size bronze reproductions made after famous ancient models were highly sought after by European collectors. Slight variations found between the Roman original and the present lot can be simply due to the sculptor’s taste, or because it was not taken straight from the original, but from a drawing or engraving, allowing for adjustments to accommodate bronze casting.

Jan de Bisschop (1628-1671, from Signorum Veterum Icones

Hercules is shown sitting on a rock covered by the pelt of the Nemean lion, one of his most recognisable attributes. His posture, with the fine and realistic rendering of the lean, muscled body and the powerful curve of the back is reminiscent of a long-standing sculptural tradition that leads the path from the late fourth century Greek sculptor Lysippos to Auguste Rodin’s The Thinker in the 20th century. While the lion’s pelt and wooden club make it clear that the sculpture is meant to be the Greek hero, the other attributes are more uncommon. The wreath encircling his head is probably made from the leaves of the white poplar tree, which was consecrated to Hercules according to Roman mythology: he destroyed the giant Caucus on Aventine Hill, which was covered in white poplar trees. After his triumph, he wound a branch of the tree around his head as a token of victory. In the Roman Hercules cult, people offering ritual sacrifices to him were always crowned with the leaves of this tree. What he is holding in his left hand is harder to distinguish, but it could be the apples from the garden of the Hesperides, relating to Hercules’ eleventh labour.

Undoubtedly inspired by the Roman marble fragment known as the Belvedere Torso in the collection of the Vatican Museum, this bronze figure of a resting Hercules is just one of countless examples of artworks based on the Roman original. The 1st Century Roman fragment, itself a copy of a lost Greek original of the 3rd or 4th century BC, was praised and studied after it’s discovery in the 15th century. The torso was so well regarded by Michelangelo that it became known as ‘The School of Michelangelo’. Facsimiles in plaster and print were circulating from the 16th century, with engravings producing a reversed image of the torso, as seen in an engraving by Netherlandish artist Jan de Bisschop (1628-1671), from Signorum Veterum Icones. For artists unable to travel to Rome, engravings were crucial for establishing a visual repertoire of classical references. In the present example, the sculptor has incorporated the torso into a study of Hercules, while the original subject is still debated. A compositionally similar bronze of Christ as the Man of Sorrows, attributed to the circle of Adriaen de Vries (1556-1629), on Loan to the Fitzwilliam Museum, utilises the same twisted torso as the present lot and is indicative of the 17th century Netherlandish school of sculpture.

CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUYERS (UK) These Conditions of Sale and the Saleroom Notices as well as specific Catalogue terms, set out the terms on which we offer the Lots listed in this Catalogue for sale. By registering to bid and/or by bidding at auction You agree to these terms, we recommend that You read them carefully before doing so. You will find a list of definitions and a glossary at the end providing explanations for the meanings of the words and expressions used. 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. In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. “You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller.

A. BEFORE THE SALE 1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS

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. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. 2. O UR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS

We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the

extent provided below. (a) 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 endeavour 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 us 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 us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (b) 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. (c) 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. 3. WITHDRAWAL

Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw. 4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS

(a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological

19.2 report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) 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, we make 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 we 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. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given.

(d) 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. (e) 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. (f) 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. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

FAILURE TO PROVIDE THE RIGHT DOCUMENTS

BIDDING IN PERSON

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. Bids must be expressed in the currency of the saleroom. The Auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the Reserve.

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.

1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES

For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £300,000, plus 20% from £300,001 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 may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

For each Lot, the Seller gives a warranty that the Seller; (a) Is the owner of the Lot or a joint owner of the Lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners, or if the Sellers is not the owner of or a joint owner of the Lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the Lot, or the right to do so in law, and; (b) Had the right to transfer ownership of the Lot to the Buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either other above warranties are incorrect, the Seller shall not have to pay more than the Purchase Price (as defined in the glossary) paid by You to us.

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. (a) 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.

This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the Catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the Lot the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the Lot by the original purchaser.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party.

We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the Lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of Lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense.

refund of the original Purchase Price paid (the successful Hammer Price, plus the Buyer’s Premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law.

You will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by a third party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) The arrangements between You and the ultimate Buyer(s) in relation to the Lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes, and; (iii) You do not know, and have no reason to suspect that the funds used for settlement are connected with the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate Buyer(s) are under investigation or have been charged with or convicted of money-laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.
