Jenners was, until recently, the oldest independent department store in Scotland. It was founded as a drapery business in 1838 by Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington and known as Kennington & Jenner. Kennington retired in 1861 and the store became Charles Jenner and Co. in 1874. Jenner retired in 1881 and left the store to his junior partner James Kennedy. Kennedy and his descendants, the DouglasMiller family, ran the business from 1881.
Fire destroyed the original buildings in 1892 and in 1893 the Scottish architect William Hamilton Beattie was appointed to design the new store which subsequently opened in 1895. The new building was designed with an elaborate carved frontage supported by caryatid figures which were, at Charles Jenner’s insistence, intended ‘to show symbolically that women are the support of the house’. The new store included many technical innovations such as electric lighting and hydraulic lifts. Jenners has held a Royal Warrant since 1911 and this remarkable carved and painted crest was situated in the gallery before 2005 when the store was sold to House of Fraser, the name having been retained.

102 A SMALL WEMYSS WARE PIG CIRCA 1900 terracotta, covered in a black glaze, unmarked 16cm long Note: Only two other black terracotta Wemyss figures have appeared at auction in recent times; a cat, offered at William Hardie’s, Glasgow on Thursday 10th December 1992; and a small pig at Sotheby’s, Gleneagles on Tuesday 29th August 2006, Lot 218. Interestingly the Sotheby’s pig was also unmarked, however the figure of the cat was marked by the factory. This anomaly may suggest that terracotta figures were made in a commercial section of the pottery with other terracotta ranges, rather than in the Wemyss shop. Additionally each known terracotta example has been slightly smaller than its earthenware counterpart, probably due to differences in shrinkage in the kiln.

Heraldry: The crest as engraved upon this Scottish Provisional Sterling Silver Goblet by George and Alexander Booth of Aberdeen dating to circa 1825 – 50 is that of the family of Lumsden. It may be blazoned as follows:
Note: Although straining spoons such as this would be a mainstay of English production, Scottish examples are very rare. A few Edinburghmade examples are recorded but provincial examples appear to be virtually unheard of.

Crest: A naked arm grasping a sword proper Motto: Deo dono sum quod sum [By the gift of God I am what I am] Note: Undoubtedly the owner of this goblet claims descent from the family of the Lumsdens of Cushnie in the County of Aberdeenshire. They stemmed from Thomas Lumsden of Conland in the County of Fife and of Medlar in the County of Aberdeenshire, who was living during the mid to late 15th Century. Whether or not he was in the direct line of descent we have no knowledge, but if not, he was undoubtedly numbered as a member of one the numerous cadet branches of the family.

They worked continually as Jewellers & Silversmiths until 1957. While they had a wide range of wares the majority of their work catered for the booming tourist trade in the North of Scotland created from the continued interest in Balmoral and the Royal family.
While they produced various items of silver jewellery, granite mounted wares and highland dress, their most prolific and recognisable products were those made from silver mounted horn. There has long been a tradition that the horn was sourced from the Aberdeen Comb Works where large quantities would have been used. This local natural product would be turned into a large range of wares including porridge bowls and spoons, tankards and stacking beakers and at the higher level of the range, additionally mounted with gemstones, quaichs, snuff boxes and napkin rings.

158 ABERDEEN - AN UNUSUAL SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL FISH SLICE JOHN LESLIE AND WILLIAM JAMIESON blade by John Leslie marked IL, ABD, handle by William Jamieson marked WJ, Edinburgh 1836, of Fiddle Pattern with script initials JDG to terminal, the shaped blade with reeded border and pierced ribboned central panel 28.5cm long, 4.2oz Literature: For an example of William Jamieson re marking and reselling a c.1740 bullet tea pot by Alexander Forbes of Aberdeen see Fine Scottish Silver, Lyon & Turnbull 13 th February 2008 lot 137, additionally illustrated in Silver: The Aberdeen Story, page 133.
Note: This seemingly simple Aberdeen fish slice appears to tell a much wider story of the trade of silver within the city and doubtless how business was conducted throughout Scotland as well. It has long been discussed that silversmiths would take in trade for payment or to re work out of date or old fashioned silver from clients. Part of silver’s great appeal was this ability to re work and refashion or use its base value as wealth. In this instance it appears that a fish slice by John Leslie of Aberdeen (working 1773 - 1824) has been either refashioned at a client’s request or when it has been used as payment for work William Jamieson of Aberdeen (working 1806 – 1840) it has been re-modelled. It is obvious by the two set of marks to the piece that this has happened. The blade with John Leslie mark of circa 1785 and the handle with full Edinburgh hallmarks with William Jamieson as maker in 1836. This has presumably been done to bring the fish slice up to fashionable standards of 1836 and convert it from, likely, Old English pattern to Fiddle pattern. Whether it was the commissioning client’s or Jamieson seeing an opportunity we shall not know.

175 OLD ABERDEEN – A RARE SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL SEAL BOX ROBERT CRUICKSHANK maker’s mark only to inside of base, the circular box with straight sides and pull off cover, engraved to the border with simple stylised foliate border, the base section with rectangular aperture for ribbon 5.3cm diameter, weight 25.2g Note: Robert Cruickshank was the only Old Aberdeen goldsmith who was born in Scotland, the only other two recorded are Etienne (Stephen) Agate and Samuel Le Revier both of French origin. His training is likely (although documents are lacking) to have been given by George Walker of Aberdeen. Cruickshank’s larger work is generally seen struck with maker’s mark only and close comparison to the marks struck to the Quaich within Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum and the Aberdeen University Tankard show that the uniquely shaped
71
175
punch with rather soft edges following the shape of the two initials can concretely be tied to him. He later changes his punch (perhaps as his original is worn) to a more ‘modern’ rectangular shaped punch and this along with Old Aberdeen town marks are seen to his later production of flatware. This box is a new discovery within the rare survival of work by Robert Cruickshank and indeed of Old Aberdeen as a whole. The surviving silver by Cruickshank shows a very interesting and important cross section of work from three prong forks (perhaps the earliest for Aberdeen) to the various important Civic and Royal commission he received, including the fine Royal Huntly Race prize sword and cup and cover. It is interesting to note that the University of Aberdeen Tankard by Cruickshank has a large circular cartouche formed of the same stylised foliate engraving seen to the cover of the seal box under discussion. Seal boxes appear to be a generally rare survival in Scotland. Originally containing the wax seal of the granter of a document or charter they are suspended by a wide ribbon from the vellum document. In some instances they are engraved with a representation of the seal within on the covers. Due to this, and in spite of its plain nature, it is likely this box was part of an important presentation likely from a civic body within Aberdeen, perhaps the University or City Council. Indeed, it is not until the work of George booth circa 1825 that the next Aberdeen made example is seen (National Museum Scotland 1976-34).

28.5cm high, 33.8oz Note: Although Scottish coffee pots are rare, similar pots but for chocolate are even rarer and very few examples are recorded. In The Compendium Of Scottish Silver by R & J Dietert, between c.1720 and c.1765 only five chocolate pots are listed (although three others are known since publication) while for the same period forty six coffee pots are recorded. It is interesting to note that two of these are Glasgow made. One by Milne & Campbell (Sotheby’s New York 16 th April 2005, lot 265) and Adam Graham (in Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum collection). When you add to this the earliest known example by Robert Bruce of Edinburgh, c.1720, which is in Dundee Museum & Art Galleries and the 1720-21 example by Patrick Murray of Edinburgh and presented as the Selkirk Race Prize in that year is within the National Museums of Scotland collection, examples available to collectors few and this lot offers an opportunity for the serious collector to add to their collection. All these are much later than their English counterparts, which not common, do survive from as early as 1685. Although their form follows almost directly that of the coffee pots of the period, their function is quite different. The placement of the spout of a coffee pot is particularly done to avoid the bitter coffee grounds from being poured into the cup. However, with chocolate the heavier coco sediment was intended to be drunk and indeed likely the most flavoursome part. Therefore, altering the design of the coffee pot to allow the finial to be removed, either by simply pulling

of tapered cylindrical form with reeded girdles and engraved motto ‘Do Richt and Fear Nocht’, the lower section of the body with engraved acanthus leaves and small presentation inscription, on a simple foot 18cm high, 9.4oz Note: The engraved inscription ‘do richt and fear nocht’ has two Scottish connections. The first is connected to the name Paton, the person who presented this goblet to Archibald N Skelton was Sir Joseph Noel Paton who was born in Kelso. Sir Joseph was the renowned Scottish artist whose monumental works often depict tales folk lore and fairy tale. These are based in his deep-seated interest in Scottish folklore and Celtic legends. He was connected with the Skelton family in the 19th century in relation to Mary Skelton’s work on Mary Stuart. The other unconnected but with strong Scottish connections is for the celebrations in Kelso during their civic week. At the installation ceremony the Provost sashes the Henchmen, entrusts them with the Kelso flag and tells the Kelso Laddie to ‘do richt and fear nocht’ Their job is to return the flag on the Saturday ‘unsullied and untarnished’ Sir Joseph may have been inspired by the thought and principals behind the event and the motto to feel it was a correct and fitting statement for the young man to grow up with and adhere to in future life.

Note: Sadly, there appears to be a dearth of genealogical information to be found upon the family of Lang whose crest and motto is engraved upon this sugar basket. Certainly, a search of printed authorities confirms that the family bore this crest and motto. They may well have borne without authority which is surprising given that Scotland has had an active heraldic court at the time of its manufacture – the Court of the Lord Lyon which been operating since the late 17th century.

Likely for John Hope, 2nd Earl of Hopetoun (1704 - 1781). Note: This spoon is en suite with an example sold, Scottish Silver & Applied Arts, Lyon & Turnbull 14th August 2019 lot 410 For two generations The Hopetoun family, Charles and John Hope 1st and 2nd Earls, were perhaps the most important commissioners of silver in Scotland. Their influence on the Edinburgh trade appears not only to have given many valuable and important commissions, but to have encouraged the goldsmiths to new heights, resulting in truly fashionable and important items. As with all family commissions, the success of the family closely directly relates to the commissions and need for silver. The boom in commissions seems to have occurred from 1699 when the architect William Bruce was commissioned by Margaret Hope, Charles’s mother, to create Hopetoun House, built in its original form between

It is unknown how large the original services of flatware within Hopetoun House were. Oddly, these pieces do not seem to have survived, and it is predominantly larger important pieces which are still recorded. It is highly likely these smaller items were regularly recycled into larger impressive wares and while obviously made in large numbers, few survive.

Given that the motto is dissimilar to the peerage family there is a likelihood that this coffee pot was once in the possession of a cadet branch of the family. Certainly, the motto ‘Nil temere’ as engraved above the crest is used by other branches of the Balfour family, but not with the same crest or at least one that is slightly differenced.

275 A RARE JAMES VI (I OF ENGLAND) DISC END SPOON BY GILBERT KIRKWOOD, EDINBURGH 1613 – 15 OR 1619 – 21 Deacon James Denniestoun, the disc terminal with initials S / CI surrounded by stamped circular decoration and compressed finial, raised above an engraved torse, the tapered stem with simple chevron engraving below and at join with bowl, the short pronounced rat tail with initial D above and flanked BS 17.4cm long, 41g Note: This previously unrecorded Disc End spoon appears to be one of the earliest extant available to private hands. Although recorded from as early as c.1580 it is not until 1615 – 1616 with the survival of the Sir Andrew Noble pair of Disc Ends by George Crawford that any concretely datable examples are available to commerce. Made by Gilbert Kirkwood it not only adds to our understanding of early Scottish spoons but of the work of this important early maker. Kirkwood is first recorded in the minutes of the Incorporation of Goldsmiths of The City of Edinburgh in 1598 when he is taken as apprentice by George Foulis. He is granted his freedom in 1609 and has an active career within the Incorporation acting as Quartermaster numerous times and Deacon in 1624. He has what appears to have been a very successful career and his mark is recorded on no less than eight pairs of communion cups and various single examples. He is also recorded on at least one other Disc End spoon, dated 1611 (National Museums of Scotland Collection, see Silver: Made in Scotland item 3.33) and the earliest Scottish Slip top spoon of 1608 (Private Collection Mount Stuart, see Silver: Made in Scotland item 3.45). The fact his career was so successful is not only seen through the surviving silver and what can be gleamed from his work and clients but by his ability to purchase Pilrig Estate. What would then have been a country estate removed from Edinburgh he set upon improvements and had built Pilrig House by 1638 (still standing today). His time here would be short as he died in 1645 during an outbreak of the plague in Edinburgh. While most early Scottish spoon types follow closely known and comparable patterns, whether it is with English neighbours or further afield in mainland Europe, the Disc End is without doubt the most unique to Scotland. The only strong comparable comes from a very small group of York made spoons known as the ‘Death Head’ group. It has been commented that some mainland European spoons bear resemblances to the Disc Ends and while this is an influencing factor in many areas of Scottish silver work it does not seem to follow in this example. The main types often compared with the Disc Ends are Norwegian examples with flower head terminals. However this is not perhaps a true comparison as the terminals are not flat discs and are more often of shaped outlines following that of the flower head. Since no Scottish spoon has a figural finial or terminal this seems a very tenuous connection and not a credible one for comparison. The York ‘Death Head’ group which closely follows the basic outlines of Scottish Disc Ends are similar in many respects but deviates noticeably within the date range, the York examples appear to start after the end of the Disc End in Scotland, their date range being circa 1660 - 1670s. It is not only the date range which differentiates the two types but the decoration and original commission are extremely different. The York examples appear to have been made as christening spoons for the female members of the Strickland family. The Scottish being a standard pattern of its time. The connection between these two very distinct groups of spoons is still a mystery and no real defining connection can be found. On the most basic of levels the Scottish Disc End gives the perfect canvas for the York design with the circular terminal offering space for the engraved skull / coat of arms and flat straight stem giving the space for mottos. It can be safely assumed that the York examples were copied from an original, and earlier, Scottish spoon as the general points of comparison are too similar for coincidence.

Note: The house was built for Sir William Forbes of Pitsligo who bought the Colinton Castle estate from the Foulis family in 1790. Sir William Forbes (1739-1806) was one of the most important men in eighteenth century Edinburgh. He was an extremely successful banker, becoming a partner of Coutt’s bank at the age of 22, and head of the banking firm Forbes, Hunter and Co. twelve years later. He also was an extremely energetic philanthropist, and was actively engaged in the management of almost all the charitable institutions in Edinburgh. His patronage of the Church of Scotland carried it to a position of importance and influence that it had not known since the disestablishment of 1689. Originally Forbes considered altering and extending Colinton castle and had plans drawn up by local architect and mason John Fraser. He then decided to build a new house and asked a number of architects to draw up plans.

Note: The so called ‘Empty Bud’ glasses appear to number as few as ten, although this example is not believed to be recorded within that number. Originally discussed in Glass Notes by E Barrington Hayne in 1951 seven examples were recorded. This number was increased to ten by 1994 when discussed by G. B.

£300-500
15.7cm high, diameter of foot 7cm
£300-500 Note: These rare 18th century Jacobite glasses are a seldom encountered example of symbolism used in glassware of the period. In Seddon’s seminal work The Jacobites and Their Drinking Glasses no examples of the rose hidden in this form are recorded. The shape of glass is most commonly associated with English manufacture, and it may have been used by an English Jacobite supporter. Without doubt the English Jacobite supporters, post 1746, were closely watched by their Hanoverian neighbours and showing any overt support for the cause could result in lands being seized, status taken, and even death.

364 A REVERSE PAINTED ON GLASS PORTRAIT OF PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART 18TH CENTURY after Robert Strange, the half-length portrait of Prince Charles in tartan jacket with blue sash for the Order of the Garter and wearing blue bonnet and white cockade, in modern white card mount Portrait 6.5cm diameter
£2,000-3,000
It would appear this portrait originally formed part of a hidden portrait snuff box and would have been concealed either to the interior of a box on under a false cover. This is further backed up by a mid-19th century manuscript note which accompanies the box which reads “Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s picture, discovered concealed in the lid of an old snuff box about 1815, probably 70 years after it was placed in the box for concealment as the box originally belonged to a Jacobite family, J. Linning Stirling 1840’ the label is also noted “M.L.Melville Esq / This belongs to you / J. Linning / Stirling 8 th Sept. / 1853” and on an alter attached section “came to Mrs Janet Linning through her mother E. Wilson & aunts (Wilson) the Jacobite ladles: probably through their Haldane mother, grandmother or relation who were all ardent Jacobites”

It also mentions the Earl of Breadalbane and mentions the Camps at Perth dated 22nd October 1715

366 JACOBITE INTEREST - A FRAMED CURTAIN SECTION 18TH CENTURY the decorated fragment with foliate detail, within card mount with inscription reading ‘Relic of Bonnie Prince Charlie. The above piece of Curtain from the bed in which Prince Charles Edward Stuart slept for three nights prior to the fateful Battle of Culloden Moor. This historic bed was purchased by Mr. Lawson Johnstone from the Culloden Estate and the authenticity of the relic is beyond question’, within a simple oak frame with applied ivorine plaque inscribed ‘To Ormond Blyth from Gordon Lawson-Johnston, August 1911’ Curtain section 11cm x 6cm (approx.), frame 22cm x 21.5cm Provenance: The Valuable Contents of Culloden House, Messrs A. Fraser & Co. Inverness Wednesday 21 st and 22 nd July 1897, lot 605 (part)
£400-600
Note: The contents and collections from Culloden House have long been admired for their virtually unbroken province up until 1897 when the house and contents were sold. Immortalised in the tartan covered ‘Purchasers Catalogue’ many fascinating and important items were listed within the collection. The main section of Jacobite relics were held within the The Presidents Bedroom and included the mahogany tester bed in which Prince Charles Edward Stuart spent three nights here before the fateful battle of Culloden. It is recorded the bed was sold to J Lawson Johnstone, London and cost £750, by far the most expensive piece in the sale. From this fragment which appears to have been mounted in the late 19 th / early 20 th century Lawson Johnstone took at least some of the curtains and gifted or perhaps sold them as souvenirs. That said these relics appear on the market so seldom it seems unlikely many were made as surely more would survive and have been offered for sale.

Although many relics of the Jacobite Cause exist, few are directly and personally connected with the Stuart family, or a single member, so directly. This walking cane was no doubt an important and highly personal accessory of the fashionable Prince Charles Edward Stuart, used within the Courts of Europe when petitioning his cause. A history of portraiture illustrates the Prince as a young, fashionable, educated and confident man. With much of his life spent in Europe in the presence of many Royal courts, he was keen to portray an image of the upmost grandeur at all times. In the 18th century, it was de rigueur to own a fine walking cane; a reflection of one’s societal status, wealth and artistic interests. Sadly, no portraits can be found of the Prince which feature a walking cane, as these more often focus on official symbols of office and heraldry. However, in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery’s collection, Paolo Monaldi & Pubalacci & Silvestri’s exceptional painting, Prince James receiving his son, Prince Henry, in front of the Palazzo del Re, Prince Charles’ father James and his court can be seen with several walking canes, serving as a statement accessory; a clear indication of the fashionable taste amongst the Stuart’s social circles. It is remarkable to consider the cane’s long history with such few breaks in ownership. When it was exhibited in 1911, it was recorded as having been ‘used by Prince Charles when he was at the French court, and was presented by him to a French nobleman, in whose family it has remained until a few years ago, when it was presented by the present holder of the title to the lender’. For some time, the cane was considered to have been a gift to Prince Charles from King Louis, however it has not been possible to substantiate this. Despite this, the worked elements of the cane are certainly European, and draw comparisons to some of the finest gold inlaid and steel metalwork made in France and Germany. A closer look at the inlaid decoration is revealing: the placement of the British crown above his initials rather boldly indicates his rightful claim to the throne. Being the monarch’s crown, it is possible that this cane was made for Charles after his father’s death and he titled himself King Charles III. Indeed, other personal monogrammed items which survive feature the initials CP for Carlos Princepus.
While there is some speculation as to whether the cane was gifted by King Louis, there is no doubt surrounding the quality of manufacture. Moreover, the gifting to a French noble family by Prince Charles successfully traces the provenance back to Charles’ own lifetime; a highly unusual feat and few comparisons exist outwith established museum collections. By the 1911 exhibition the cane was the property (although lent anonymously) of Alfred William Cox. Alfred was a remarkable character of Victorian society. Son of Alexander Robb Cox (1826 – 1880) he came from a long line of successful Scottish jute merchants and factory owners working in Dundee and Liverpool. In 1879, and on failing his entrance exams for the Military Academy at Woolwich, he was given £100 and an allowance to travel to Australia. His father’s intention was for him to learn about the sheep trade and presumably set up his own. But before long he had fallen into his favourite leisure pursuit and was again involved in gambling on horse racing, which had perhaps originally led to his failed exams back in England. On hearing this, his father threatened to cut his allowance and seek his return. For a short time at least, Alfred went into sheep farming. This was not to last long however, his interests inevitably shifted over a game of cards in which he won a share in what became the Broken Hill silver mine, for a sum £120. He would return to England a wealthy man in the late 1880’s with his shares value then estimated at £1,260,000 (some £70m in today’s terms). On his return he became one of Britain’s most successful race horse owners and had many renowned winners, perhaps most famous is Bayardo, a short career which is still remembered today. Late Victorian and Edwardian horse racing at the highest levels was a highly a social event. A fashionable cane such as this would have served Alfred well when in attendance at the Royal Enclosure, and especially when in the company of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) who frequented there. Alfred Cox had a small but fine collection of canes, this no doubt the highlight. How it came into his collection when it was ‘presented’ to him by the Noble French family remains a mystery, but family tradition has often held that it may have been in lieu of a debt for a horse, stud fees, or likely gambling.

370 AFTER FRANCESCO TREVISANI (1659-1746) PAIR OF HALF-LENGTH PORTRAITS OF KING JAMES III AND PRINCESS MARIA CLEMENTINA SOBIESKA King James in blue velvet cloak and with Order of the Garter, crown adjacent; the Princess in blue cloak and jewelled bodice, wearing pearls, and with crown and pocket watch on the table before her Oil on canvas (2) 96cm x 73cm Provenance: Tytler family, by repute W.B. Dunlop, Seton Castle, Longniddry, East Lothian By direct family descent.
£6,000-8,000
These impressive Jacobite portraits of King James III and Princess Maria Clementina were painted whilst they were in exile from Britain and indeed before they were married. From 1717 James was resident in Italy and continued to use portraiture as an important tool in building support and interest in the Stuart cause. The original painting of James by Francesco Trevisani was created in 1718 on the suggestion of the Earl of Mar. He was considered an important choice as an artist due to his wide international reputation, and this would further promote the importance of the images. Undoubtedly, the portraits are striking in their claim to the British throne; depicting James in the full regalia of the Order of the Garter, thereby illustrating his desire to be recognised as a ‘British King’ in all his glory. This bold statement was even more significant as the original portrait was commissioned to be sent to Maria Clementina, who James was yet to marry. The message clearly stating that she was marrying into a Royal family of right, rather than to the king of an exiled court lacking a throne. The portrait would not however reach Maria as intended, as she was captured by the Austrian Emperor Charles VI whilst en route to marry James. Charles was opposed to the pairing and held her captive in Innsbruck. Following her daring escape in 1719 she was finally presented with the portrait in Bologna. Immediately, copies of the King James and accompanying Maria Clementina portraits were ordered and presented to supporters, including the Earl of Mar. The popularity of these pictures was so great that in 1720 more copies were created to fulfil the demand. The original portrait of Maria is now with the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, acquired in 1918 (PG 886).
The current portraits have descended from a private family collection and have been recorded as being at Seton Castle since the vendor’s grandfather-in-law, W.B. Dunlop, resided there from the late 1800s until his death in 1946. He catalogued these portraits and stated that they were a set of presentation portraits, given to the Tytler family in recognition of their support for the Jacobite cause. The Tytler families’ Stuart and Jacobite support is long and well recorded. As early as the 16th century one of the Setons of Seton Palace (now Seton Castle), believed to be the chaplain, fled to France after committing a murder. There he changed his name to Tytler, settled, married and had several children. Two of his sons accompanied Mary, Queen of Scots to Scotland in 1561. After the Troubles, the Tytlers were officially recognised and accepted as Seton descendants but opted to retain the name of Tytler. Following the 1715 Jacobite rising, all the lands of the Setons, including Seton Palace, were confiscated. They were first sold in 1719 and again in 1779, bought by Lt Col Alexander Mackenzie WS. In 1789 Mackenzie started the demolition of Seton Palace, building Seton Castle in its place to a design by Robert Adam, completed in 1791.

371 A SILVER GILT STUART/ JACOBITE SUPPORTERS BADGE 17TH CENTURY by T Rawlins, the oval medallion with right facing crowned portrait bust of King Charles I with motto around, the reverse with full Royal arms within garter and crowned, with integral suspension loop 4.7cm high, 9g Note: Various Stuart supports badges such as this were created from the 1660’s when Charles I was overthrown and latterly beheaded. Worn by supporters of the Stuart royal family they would have been hidden underclothing and a highly personal accessory. They were presumably only shown to other supporters or to back up a persons claim to be a supporter. Their use and significance took on a further role with the ousting of King James and the growing Jacobite cause.

375 JACOBITE INTEREST: A PAIR OF GEORGE II BERRY SPOONS ALEXANDER GAIRDNER, EDINBURGH 1756 Assay Master Hugh Gordon, the spoons converted from Hanoverian pattern, chased Rococo cartouche with single displayed rose head on matted ground to terminal, the lower section of stem with budding rose head the gilded bowls chased and shaped to oak leaf shape 21.6cm long, combined weight 4.4oz Note: These fascinating berry spoons appear to be commemorative of the Stuart and Jacobite cause. While berry spoons are not uncommon the standard of design is almost exclusively connected to exotic fruits and heavily chased bowls. These appear far more deliberate in their choice of designs. While addition of floral motifs cannot be considered unique the addition of a Stuart oak leaf bowl along with the rose in the ever popular Jacobite form cement these as Jacobite pieces
£300-500

376 A RARE ‘SUCCESS TO THE SOCIETY’ JACOBITE WINE GLASS 18TH CENTURY The straight sided bucket bowl finely engraved with displayed thistle and leaves, with motto Success To The Society’ engraved around and with family motto ‘Gang Warily’ below, rasied on a an opaque enamel twisted stem and conical foot 15cm high, 7cm diameter of foot Provenance: William McAdam Antique Glass, Edinburgh
£2,000-3,000
Note: Although the exact Society referenced on this glass has not been determined it appears to fall within a small group of Society’s glasses known. What confuses further is that more than one pattern is known and iconography changes from simple motto to more elaborate Jacobite symbols such as the rose and buds. Indeed variety in the mottos is recorded too with similar recorded with mottos such as ‘Health To All True Blues’ and ‘The Friendly Hunt’. There is no doubt that the Society is pro Jacobite and it is considered by the addition of the thistle that it is likely this society was Scottish based. For a glass from a similar set see ‘The Jacobite and Their Drinking Glasses’ G. B. Seddon plate 88, page 124, the pair sold Lyon & Turnbull, Scottish Silver & Applied Art 14 th August 2019 lot 524. The addition of the Drummond family motto, Gang Warily, connects this glass to either a family member, clansman or supporter of the Duke of Perth. Following a close family connection to the Stuarts the 6th Earl and 3 rd Duke of Perth was an extremely close ally of Prince Charles. As soon as he arrived in Scotland in July 1745 Perth declared his allegiance. Awarded lieutenant-general of the highland army, Perth participated in the successful battle of Prestonpans. However, as the tide turned in Inverness-shire Perth fled the battle of Culloden and was taken aboard the French frigate ship La Bellone, which had arrived with supplies for the highland forces. Worn out by the campaign he died at sea on 13 May of that year.

To find one with such direct Royal and Ducal connection as this appears to be virtually unique. The presentation itself is still somewhat of a mystery. It can safely be assumed that Thomas Miller must have had a long career within the Abbey of Holyrood House and perhaps his time as Moderator in 1851 was the end of this illustrious career. No other such examples presented to Moderators can be traced so this is by no means a standard presentation to Moderators of the Abbey when they stand down.

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
19.2
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
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

(a) As an authorised Bidder: If You are bidding on behalf of another person, that person will need to complete the registration requirements above before You can bid, and supply a signed letter authorising You to bid for him/ her. (b) As agent for an undisclosed principal: If You are bidding as an agent for an undisclosed principle (the ultimate Buyer(s)) You accept personal liability to pay the Purchase Price and all other sums due, unless it has been agreed in writing with us before commencement of the auction that the Bidder is acting as an agent on behalf of a named third party acceptable to us and we will seek payment from the named third party. 5. BIDDING IN PERSON
If You wish to bid in the saleroom You must register for a numbered bidding paddle before You begin bidding. Please ensure You bring photo identification with You to allow us to verify Your registration. 6. BIDDING SERVICES

(a) Phone bids Your request for this service must be made no later than 12 hours prior to the auction. We will accept bids by telephone for Lots only if our staff are available to take the bids. If You need to bid in a language other than English You should arrange this Well before the auction. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (b) Internet Bids For certain auctions we will accept bids over the internet. For more information please visit our Website. 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. (c) Written 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. 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. If You make a written bid on a Lot which does not have a Reserve and there is no higher bid than Yours, we will bid on Your behalf at around 50% of the lower Estimate or, if lower, the amount of Your bid.

Unless the Auctioneer decides to use their discretion as set out above, when the Auctioneer’s hammer falls, we have accepted the last bid. This means a contract for sale has been formed between the Seller and the successful Bidder. We will issue an invoice only to the registered Bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by post/or email after the auction, we do not accept responsibility for telling You whether or not Your bid was successful. If You have bid by written bid, You should contact us by telephone or in person as soon as possible after the auction to get details of the outcome of our bid to avoid having to pay unnecessary storage charges.
D. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY
(c) 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 outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 3. A RTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (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.
E. WARRANTIES
1. THE PURCHASE PRICE
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. The Seller will not be responsible to You for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages or expense. The Seller gives no warranty in relation to any Lot other than as set out above and, as far as the Seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the Seller to You, and all obligations upon the Seller which may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded.
2. 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. (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. (b) 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 outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.
2. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE
We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each Lot in this Catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the

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 does not apply if: (a) The Catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the Catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (b) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or (c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading. 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.

It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the
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.
