FURNITURE & WORKS OF ART
1 A GROUP OF FOUR CARVED PANELS MOST LIKELY EARLY 19TH CENTURY, POSSIBLY EARLIER carved oak, depicting fruiting vines, flowering thistles, daisies and a coat of arms, 29.8cm x 26.7cm; daisies 30cm x 25.5cm; thistles 30.2cm x 26.7cm; vines 30.2cm x 26.7cm (4) £600-800
During the early nineteenth century in Scotland the Romantics of the period, fuelled by the literary works of Sir Walter Scott, expressed a desire to revive aspects of early medieval life and philosophy in an attempt to escape from urban growth and industrialisation. Striking in design and boldly carved, it is likely that these panels are a product of this Revival period, and they undoubtedly share a resemblance to surviving examples of sixteenth century Scottish carvings. Early Scottish oak panelling was often used to front large doors, decorate interior schemes or certain pieces of furniture such as chests, seating or cupboards. Eighteenth century cabinet makers would have certainly looked to a number of historically important examples for inspiration, reproduced in various books, print and exhibitions. A closer look at the present lot reveals three distinct motifs feature prominently: stylised grape clusters sprouting from young vine plants; a series of Scottish thistles in bloom; and an array of more delicate flowering roses or
daisies. The use of the rose, thistle and other flowering vine plants is evident in other important examples of early Scottish woodwork, such as The Monrose Panels, currently on display in the National Museums of Scotland, and the St Andrews Cupboard, from the University’s own collection. The St Andrews Cupboard is particularly interesting as it is thought that the featured motifs in these panels are part of an iconographic scheme used to symbolise the marriage of King James IV and Margaret Tudor. The carved thistles in that context are therefore of Royal as well as National significance, representing King James IV and the Scottish Crown. Meanwhile, the delicate scattering of roses and daisies are recognised as emblems of the House of Tudor, thus a reference to Margaret Tudor. In the present lot, the armorial does not appear to have been officially registered and therefore it is difficult to determine whether they link to a particular Scottish family. Nevertheless, the stylistic affinity shared with early medieval oak panelling is clear and they offer a fitting tribute to past traditions in Scottish art and furniture design.

These are often characterised by the use of distinctively bright cobalt blue decoration and by a blue mark under the glaze of crossed ‘L’s, thought to correspond to the proprietor William Littler and his wife Jane. Littler resurfaced at West Pans four years after his bankruptcy following the failure of the Longton Hall Porcelain Manufactory.

8 ROBERT BURNS INTEREST: A GENTLEMAN’S WALKING CANE CIRCA 1800 Malacca, with a brown domed wooden knop, white-metal collar and brass/iron ferrule; the cane with a tassel-hole below the collar, retaining its brass grommets and enclosing a length of black silk ribbon, knotted in three places, the collar engraved ‘MR JOHN CAIRD, MONTROSE Died 11th Decr. 1790 Aged 73’ Length: 88.5cm Note: John Caird was an uncle by marriage of the poet Robert Burns. Born on 9th March 1717, he was a son of James Caird of Upper Gairie, Logie Pert, Forfarshire. On 29th August 1752, in Arbuthnott, he married Elspeth Burnes, or Burns, the second daughter of Robert Burnes/Burns and Isabella Keith and a sister of William Burnes/ Burns, who became the poet’s father in 1759. At the time of his marriage, John Caird described himself as farming land at Denside, in the parish of Dunnottar, Kincardineshire. John Caird exchanged letters with the poet’s brother Gilbert and visited Robert and Gilbert Burns in Ayrshire after the death of their father, his brother-in-law, in February 1784. John Caird is recorded in one of Robert Burns’ letters when he and the poet met again, near Stonehaven on 10th September 1787, during Burns’ tour of the Highlands and North-East of Scotland, the year after the publication of ‘Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect’ had brought the poet wide acclaim. From Edinburgh a week later, Robert Burns wrote to Gilbert Burns of his uncle, ‘… John Caird, though born the same year as our father, walks as vigorously as I can; …’. Under the circumstances, it seems likely that the poet Burns saw this cane in the hands of his ‘vigorous’ uncle on various occasions.

Adie then continued operating under his own name, and later Adie & Son when his son joined the firm.

While native gold has been mined and sourced for centuries in Scotland it was more commonly found as a by-product of other mining activities, notably lead. Except in the few rare occasions of miniature gold rushes in Scotland such as Kildonan in 1818 and again in 1868. It was reported by the Inverness Courier in 1869 that ‘Messrs D. C. Rait and Sons, of Buchanan Street, Glasgow, have been active purchasers of Sutherland gold from the commencement of the discovery, and have assayed several specimens officially. These have ranged from 19 to 19¾ carats. Mr Robert Gilchrist, the original discoverer, seems to have been very successful of late at the Kildonan burn’. The amounts of Scottish gold available for work were however rare, rarer still are examples noted and sold as such like this example. Various pieces by Glasgow companies, D C Rait and Muirhead & Sons, as well as Inverness makers have been noted. These generally follow the interest in native materials by combining the gold with other materials synonymous with Scotland such as freshwater pearls and Cairngorm stones. This fitted perfectly into the wider Scottish historical and national revival started as early as George IV’s visit in 1822 and continued with the Royal purchase of Balmoral and beyond into the early 1900’s. Pieces of native Scottish gold feature in the collections of both the National Museum of Scotland and Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery but seldom are seen at auction.

(Record Office No. 1432 box 50.), Engraved for his lineal descendant A. W. Cornelius Hallen 1896’, in a simple swivel fob mount matrix 33mm, overall length 54mm, 42.5g Note: This fine seal matrix has been created for a true Victorian Gentleman and with his passionate interest religion, art and science reflect the mood of the time. A W C Hallen was not only Reverend of St James Episcopal Church in Leith but also St. Johns of Alloa where he is perhaps most remembered. Not only a Reverend he held a Master of Arts degree, was Fellow of The Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. He set up and ran the Alloa Society of Natural Sciences & Archaeology and was a very active member of many societies locally and nationally. It is undoubtedly this interest in history and arts which presumably lead to his interest in his family history and discovering his lineage to Sir Franco de Mirabello dit van Halen and lead to the commissioning of this fine reproduction seal matrix.

Why coffee pots should be so rare when compared to Aberdeen teapots is unclear but when looking at the wider survival ratio of Scottish coffee and teapots it is perhaps not surprising. Any form of 18th century Scottish coffee pot must be considered scarce.

This perhaps suggests the spread and popularity of coffee was smaller and/or took longer to establish in Scotland making these not only rare survivals but ones commissioned by people at the front of fashionable trends in Scotland.

This cup forms part of the main and earliest section of the communion plate within the Steeple Kirk of Dundee, with the original gift, of three matching surviving, cups commissioned from Robert Gardyne II. All bearing the same inscription and decoration these are the three earliest surviving cups and are amongst the earliest surviving Communion plate in Dundee. One now resided within MacManus Galleries & Museums, its pair sold Lyon & Turnbull, Scottish Silver & Accessories, 14th August 2012, lot 398. It is unknown how large the original gift of cups was and seems highly likely that three would not have been the full complement; possibly other cups latterly being recycled and re-worked into the later surviving cups; or even destroyed in the turmoil Dundee has born witness to over the past four centuries. Dundee’s Steeple Kirk is one of the most historic and important early buildings within the city. Built in the 12th century by the Earl of Huntington, brother of Scottish King William the Lion, it has withstood the numerous onslaughts of Dundee’s tumultuous history to become the city’s most important church and its oldest surviving building. The Earl of Huntington on returning from the Crusades reportedly made a vow that should God deliver his ship safely home he would build a Church in his honour. Upon his arrival he set about constructing the Steeple Kirk, selecting a spot out with the burgh boundaries to do so. In 1303 the Kirk experienced the first of what would be many reincarnations after the forces of Edward I attacked the city and torched the church; work didn’t begin on rebuilding the Kirk until the 15th century, and was completed by the city council in 1462. Not only a building of importance in Dundee the north and south transepts were the largest of any ecclesiastical building in Europe, while the tower, which was completed in the 1480s is the only original part of the 15th century structure still standing today. This tower would witness the key role the Kirk was to play in the city’s history, beginning in 1547 when it was captured by English forces and used as a stable by the soldiers. During this occupation it caught fire, and all but the tower and the choir was burnt to the ground. The council eventually built the west end of the choir and in it established the first Reformation Church of Dundee, further renovations on the destroyed south transept were carried out in the 16th century in order to house a second congregation. However, this would not be the last of the Kirk’s troubles; the English General Monk, under orders from Cromwell besieged the city in 1651, and the tower played an important role in the city’s defences. Cannon ball marks can still be found on the building, a testament to its endurance, and the lock on the door leading from the hall to the stairs is the very same that held firm against Cromwell’s onslaught. In 1759 the north transept was rebuilt, housing a third congregation, and in 1789 the nave was rebuilt
allowing a fourth congregation under the Kirk’s roof. Until 1841 all four congregations remained under the one roof, each with their own ministers, but sharing the tower and bells. Even into the Victorian era problems beset the church and in 1841 another fire broke out, this time in the heating system, and once again the transepts were destroyed leaving only the nave and the tower. The Chapter House, adjoining the north wall of the east Church was also burnt down, along with the library of over 1800 volumes, including works in Latin and Greek, many dating from pre-reformation clergy. The east and south transepts were rebuilt in 1844 for their respective congregations, the north transept’s congregation was re-housed. These three congregations remained in the one church until the 1980s when they finally amalgamated, giving the Kirk and its congregation its present day appearance. This group is now split between McManus Museum & Galleries, the Steeple Kirk and private collections. The timing of these presentations of plate to the Kirk shows not only the variety of makers and styles in Dundee but the growth in wealth within the city which would have been far more prevalent in these ‘safer’ times than the turmoil the Kirk was so well exposed. This group was the most complete service of Dundee Communion plate and without doubt the most important grouping within the city, perhaps only out ranked by a single object – the highly important – The Fithie Basin by Thomas Lindsay. Little is known about Robert Gardyne II but it is safe to say he forms part of the important Dundee, Perth and St Andrews family of makers who are responsible for some the most important early Scottish plate made in the nations expanding Burgh’s. At least three members of the family are recorded and possibly an earlier fourth member working within the trade. This would put the spread of the Gardyne’s careers at around 1561 - 1708 with Robert Gardyne II falling within the middle of this period known to have been active around 1624 - 1656. It is assumed, as was the tradition within early Goldsmithing families, that Robert was apprenticed to his father Robert Gardyne I also of Dundee and is first mentioned a Freeman of the trade in 1624 within Dundee. There has often been confusion with the working dates of Gardyne and this has previously caused these cups being attributed as late as 1692. This however was more on the assumption they were presented by James Smith who was harbour master in that year. However the donor appears far more likely to have been James Smith Merchant of Dundee, who died in 1640 and was interned in Dundee’s historic graveyard, the Howff. Gifts of money within wealthy patrons’ wills for the benefit of the church was not uncommon in Scotland; this date and the known working dates of Gardyne fit better than previous attributions. Also close comparisons of marks on other dated early Gardyne plate confirms this theory.

The rarest Scottish provincial towns must be considered Ellon with one Toddy ladle confirmed, see Lyon & Turnbull Scottish Silver 16th August 2011 lot 205 (sold for £6250), and repeatedly overlooked Keith. Keith silver has rarely appeared at auction and it would appear the last example offered in a specialist sale was in the 1980s / 1990s Phillip’s of Edinburgh sales. From close comparison to the striking of the marks, it seems possible this spoon may be one of the two illustrated in Jackson’s Silver & Gold Marks of England Scotland and Ireland, page 609. The irregular placement and alignment match very closely to the first image, although the maker’s mark is slightly clearer. Although the maker’s name has not firmly been ascribed from documentary evidence there is a lot of local evidence for a John Cumming watch and clockmaker in Keith. Various pocket watch movements or clock dials are signed by him and watch repair papers are noted as well. While this is not confirmation, it would not be unusual for a watchmaker to have a punch made and applied to wares he most likely bought in. This may account for the rather oddly shaped and spaced punches, perhaps made by his own hand. This set of marks must rank amongst the rarest Scottish provincial marks recorded and Keith must therefore be considered the rarest of towns in line with Ellon.

Note: The three teaspoons made by the unknown maker RN have long been a mystery, along with other makers who use / share similar marks. The addition to these examples of the incuse gothic A or M punch adds a connection with Dundee. These two singular punches are normally seen stuck together as a retailer’s mark (as seen here) for A Murray of Dundee. Murray appears to have had two punches AM in a simple rectangular punch seen with local Dundee marks (see Lyon & Turnbull Jewellery, Silver & Watches, 5th December 2018, lot 468) and in conjunction with Edinburgh marks retailing various makers (see Lyon & Turnbull, Scottish Silver & Applied Art, 16th August 2017, lot 363). While this connection to Murray of Perth does not make the R.N spoon Dundee made it perhaps adds a cue to a location near the city.

His legacy is not confined to his output of fine silver, which encompasses various civic items, including the Maces for the City of Dundee in 1954 and that of the Deacon Convener of the Nine Trades of Dundee in 1953. He will also be remembered for his influence on a much wider sphere of Scottish silversmiths and jewellers as the head of Silversmithing and Jewellery Department at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee. He held this position from 1943 until 1974 influencing a generation of students. His bold use of simple lines and traditional techniques set him apart from the mass produced / manufactured wares which had become commonplace throughout Britain since the end of WW1.

217 AN 18TH CENTURY LEATHER BOMBARD the cylindrical body with applied border to bold interwoven handles, applied crest to the body of a standing or leaping lion, the folded rim with spout 20cm high Provenance: Property from Kilmany House, Fife Note: This is the ‘model’ for the previous silver lot. Leather drinking and pouring vessels have been in use for centuries, but the more common examples seen are from the 16th century to the 19th century being overtaken then by pewter. Silver mounts were not unusual on blackjacks, often with the owner’s initials or if high enough standing his crest or armorials. This bombard is unusual in being twin handled and probably for communal use to be passed round a group of friends or members of a family, clan or club and with an applied crest which we believe to be a demi-lion rampant. The original medieval bombards were based on the shape of an explosive device called a petard and used in the storming of a castle, thus bombing it. The very rotund shape was packed with any old item of metal and gunpowder and was carried by a man who laid it at the foot of the castle gate. Obviously he retreated as quickly as possible but on many occasions was blown up by the petard, leading to the expression “hoisted by his own petard”. Over many years the petards became known as bombs because they were used to “Bomb” castles and from which the army rank of Bombardier originates. It is from this source that the name of bombard was finally given to leather pouring jugs of a similar shape. The shape of pouring bombards was based on the old bombard gun barrel which was very bulbous and not truly cylindrical. The bulbous shape was to allow room for an expanding explosion, which a truly cylindrical shape would not create. The cylindrical shape to this example possibly indicates a later bombard. The method of hardening leather is called “Jacking” , hence the vessel name. Jacking caused the leather to turn black, hence “Black Jack” .

£500-800
Note: The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle was first established in Scotland by King James VII of Scotland (II of England) in 1678, a re-establishment of a much older order. The true history of the earlier establishment of the Order is lost in history but some, spurious, histories suggest it was started as early as the 8th century. King James bestowed the Order on Prince Charles Edward Stuart as the first Royal member and his pride in this award was obvious. Many of the most iconic and recognizable portraits commissioned by the Stuart’s feature Charles wearing his garter badge. The Order’s primary emblem is the thistle, the national flower of Scotland. The motto is Nemo me impune lacessit (Latin for “No one provokes me with impunity”)

Their residence at Inverary Castle on the shore of Loch Fyne may also not have provided too warm a climate in the winter months. By adding an internal compartment for water, this could then be heated up by an iron rod, with the addition of a double exterior wall. It is this internal compartment that sets them apart from coffee pots, waterpot or even chocolate pots, but they do come in all shapes and sizes. Most often than not, the spout is located near the bottom to allow the gravy to be poured from underneath the layer of fat which may have settled.

He sought for those around him to appreciate the rural happiness away from the hustle and bustle of city life. His notion was that businessmen would meet at least once a year for a walk over the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh. The unwritten law that politics and religion were not to be discussed gave these men an opportunity to be in good company and absorb the countryside. The membership increased so much over the years that a committee was founded with a captain and lieutenant. Within the retrospective notes by James Hogg, it states, ‘The minutes of the 21st July 1834 says ‘ The party walked to Currie, breakfasted there and passed over the hills to Logan House, where they enjoyed themselves till four o’clock’ Furthermore, Hogg mentions, ‘About 12 years ago an elegant baton beautifully silver mounted, was presented to the Club by the late Captain Robb, Wine Merchant Frederick Street”¦a silver band with the name of the captain for the year is put on this baton’ This baton, handcrafted for a popular 19th century social group is unique and reflects a moment in time. For further reading, see The Edinburgh Heather Club. Retrospective notes. Hogg, James, 1806-1888

300 FORBES OF CULLODEN, DUNCAN THE MALT TAX AND GLASGOW RIOTING Letter dated Edinburgh, 8th July 1725, signed Duncan Forbes, 3pp., to the Magistrates of Inverness, thanking them for their good will and discussing matters in Glasgow [”œI have not had one minutes leisure for some time past because of the Unlucky Circumstances that the frenzy of Glasgow has drawn itself into, you have heard of the Madness which they were guilty of in Opposing the Malt Tax”¦ The General is by order from the Lords Justices to March ? with some Regiment”¦of foot and I am now in my Boots ready to attend them.” ], folded, 23.5 x 18.5cm; with several other letters comprising one from Isabella Sleigh, asking for assistance for herself and her daughter, with a penned response; a letter dated February 1715, signed by Forbes and addressed to his brother, updating him on events, writing “Brigadeer Grant has Gotten the Government of Sheerness Castle…”, writing from Edinburgh that “…almost all our Nobles except Argyll and Hay are here…”; an earlier letter sent by Forbes to his brother from Leiden, dated 1707; a legal document, signed by Duncan Forbes and several others, regarding the borrowing of money; and a final of thanks letter dated 1736 addressed to ‘The President’ [likely the Lord President of the Court of Session] (6) Provenance: Forbes of Culloden and thence by descent Note: In an attempt to equalise Scottish and English taxes, a Malt Tax was proposed in 1713. This proved to be so unpopular that a motion was raised in Parliament to repeal the Act of Union. The imposition of the Malt Tax was postponed until 1725, when talk of its reintroduction inspired a brewers’ strike in Edinburgh and widespread rioting in Glasgow. Troops were summoned and 9 rioters were killed. After several retreats, attacks and more deaths, General Wade was finally dispatched to quell the rioting, accompanied by Forbes. Duncan Forbes of Culloden was a Scottish lawyer and Lord President of the Court of Session from 1737-1748, playing a significant role in helping the government suppress the 1745 Jacobite Uprising.

302 TWO MANUSCRIPT LETTERS OF JACOBITE INTEREST 18TH CENTURY
to include a letter of petition on behalf of two soldiers gaining a commission written by Major General John Mackenzie, Edinburgh 23rd March 1787 and an Office of Ordnance order for HMS Royal Caroline September 1742 signed by General George Wade and Thomas Lascelles (2) Provenance: The Office of Ordnance order ex Railways Collection of Historical Documents and A.L.S Note: Major General John Mackenzie (Baron McLeod) was a well-recorded Jacobite military leader who led a troop at the Battle of Falkirk and a raid on Caithness. He was caught and imprisoned in the Tower of London but was pardoned of High Treason on forfeiting his estates and subsequently released. He had a long military career, afterwards serving in the Swedish and Prussian armies, returning to England and raising the 73rd Regiment of Foot who would go on to capture Goree. General George Wade was a well respected Hanoverian military leader, commanding troops throughout the ’45. His legacy on Scotland’s landscape is perhaps more in the physical legacy of building roads, bridges and infrastructure. Built to enable an easier movement of troops for the Hanoverians but still stand today.

The final letter also discusses the Jacobite uprising of 1719, supported by Spain. The invasion was cancelled due to the majority of the Spanish fleet having been damaged by storms. Those who did survive and land at Stornoway were subsequently defeated at the Battle of Glen Shiel.

£600-800
310 AN ANTI-SCOTTISH CARICATURE 18TH CENTURY
oil on panel, depicting a ‘primitive’ Scotsman unable the use lavatory, with legs suspended down each bowl, based on a similar image depicting Sawney Bean the folklore cannibal Note: After the defeat of the Jacobite rising in 1745, the British government introduced the ‘Heritable Jurisdiction’s Act of 1747’ which stated that any Jacobite’s land would now be in control of the government. Their main aim was to destroy the clan structure and obliterate any fundamentals of Scottish life such as the Gaelic language, tartan etc. This was further accomplished with the ‘Scottish Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge’, enforcing English and English culture and was the model used across the world in colonisation. Propaganda such as this caricature depicted mainly Highland Scots as primitive and uncouth with financial incentives for those disseminating the material. Images such as this illustrated the vulgar highlander unable to perform basic functions as the lavatory

£600-800
313 PORTRAIT OF PRINCE HENRY BENEDICT STUART MID-18TH CENTURY
oil on panel, a half portrait of Prince Henry Benedict Stuart 13.5cm x 11cm Note: This sensitive mid-18th century portrait of Prince Henry appears to be inspired by the 1737 pastel commissioned by King James from Jean-Etienne Liotard. This example differs from the copy in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery which has a more elaborate coat and lacks the red cloak. It however more closely matches a miniature with the simpler coat and has the sash similarly prominently ruffled over the breast also in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery collection (see King Over The Water, Portraits of the Stuart in Exile after 1689, Fig. 63). Although copies of portraits of Prince Henry are well recorded they appear much less common than those of Prince Charles, this example appears rarely encountered.

the large drawn trumpet bowl finely engraved with displayed rose head flanked by open and closed buds with foliage, the reverse engraved in script ‘Fiat’ above an oak leaf, raised on a slightly tapered multi air twist cylindrical stem and a domed circular foot 17.9cm high, Diameter of rim 8cm Note: These elegant glasses closely resemble the important set of eleven glasses and two decanters from Chastleton Manor, Oxfordshire, now split between private collections and the National Trust (who have a decanter and four glasses). The glasses and decanters discovered at Chastleton Manor are considered to be from one of the oldest established Jacobite Societies, the Cavalier Club: founded in 1657 it ran well into the reign of Queen Victoria. Chastleton seems to have been the centre of the Club’s activities throughout the 18th century and the owner, Henry Jones, was a zealous supporter until his death in 1761. Jones planted Scots fir trees within the grounds, often termed as ‘Charlies Trees’, and they were rumoured to be navigation markers for fleeing Jacobite’s given shelter and sustenance on their retreat or escape. This pair are slightly larger than the recorded Chastleton Manor glasses but feature the same decoration and appear to be by the same engraver. For a similar single glass see ‘Fine Furniture & Works of Art’, Lyon & Turnbull 2nd May 2018, lot 8

323 AN IRISH WILLIAMITE / ANTI JACOBITE WINE GLASS 18TH CENTURY GLASS, LATER ENGRAVED
unsigned but likely by Franz Tieze, the tapered bowl with portrait of the King William on horse back inscribed ‘THE GLORIOUS MEMORY OF KING WILLIAM III’, the reverse with ‘BOYNE 1ST JULY 1690’ over ‘HLStG’, on a plain swelling stem between reeded knops on a domed circular foot with folded rim 15.9cm high Note: The initials ‘HLStG’ have previously been attributed to Henry Lucas St George (1781-1872), clergyman for Dromore in West Tyrone, Ireland. Reverend St George was a Grand Chaplain in the Orange Order. A large Protestant fraternal order in Northern Ireland in tribute to the Protestant KingWilliam III and his defeat over the Catholic King James II in the 17thcentury Williamite–Jacobite Wars. Franz Tieze is known to have supplied glasses to the Orange Order which seems to tie this attribution firmly to the Reverend St. George.

327 A JACOBITE WINE GLASS 18TH CENTURY
the tapered bucket bowl with a swollen hexagonal facetted stem and circular foot, the underside of the bowl and join with stem with engraved arched decoration, which when viewed through the base of the bowl when drinking displays a Jacobite rose 15.7cm high, diameter of foot 7cm Literature: For a comparable example see Fine Furniture & Works of Art, Lyon & Turnbull 2nd May 2018, lot 5. Note: This rare 18th century Jacobite glass is 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.

Born to Colonel Charles MacKenzie Fraser and Jane Fraser (nee Hay), both families have always had Jacobite sympathies. Constructed in the 16th century on the plot of an earlier fortress, Castle Fraser was the home of the Frasers of Muchalls who became the Frasers of Inverallochy. They later changed their name to Mackenzie Fraser. On his death, in 1887 his widow remained in the property until 1921 who then sold the castle to the 1st Viscount Cowdray due to financial difficulties. When the National Trust for Scotland castle took guardianship, much of the original contents were left in situ. Lieutenant Colonel Frederick Mackenzie Fraser’s portrait by M. Jouanne still hangs in the National Trust for Scotland, Property, Castle Fraser, Garden & Estate in Aberdeenshire.

This pistol seems to be tantalisingly connected to a pair of pistols by the same maker which are still within the collection of Sir Walter Scott and on display at Abbotsford. The pistols on display are not only by the same maker but bare a similar armorial engraving. More remarkably the pistols are recorded in correspondence between Scott and McLeod being commissioned by him for King George IV’s visit to Scotland in 1822. Scott’s personal interest in Scottish history and life is well recorded and his collection of historical arms and armour is famous, much of which still decorates his remarkable Borders home, Abbotsford. Sir Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh’s Old Town of Edinburgh in 1771. His father was a successful lawyer, his mother the daughter of a Professor of Medicine at Edinburgh University. After suffering polio in 1773, was sent to his grandfather’s farm at Sandyknowe in Roxburghshire, living here until 1775, and listening to stories from his grandfather and others, the young Scott developed his life-long love of Border history and folklore. On returning to Edinburgh, he attended the High School and Edinburgh University. In 1792, he became an Advocate, and was All lots are illustrated online at www.lyonandturnbull.com
appointed Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire in 1799. This allowed him to travel across Scotland in search of history and material to use in his poetry and fiction, eventually publishing his monumental Minstrelsy of the Scottish Borders in 1802. It was in the Borders that Scott was happiest. It was there that he wrote the great epic poems The Lay of the Last Minstrel, Marmion and Lady of the Lake between 1804 and 1810. With his fame, fortune and family growing, Scott turned to creating Abbotsford, which was completed in 1824. Sir Walter Scott is one of the most successful authors of all time and is the second-most quoted writer in the Oxford English Dictionary after William Shakespeare. Scott’s creativity, wit and understanding of human nature remain on display in his works, but it is only through visiting Abbotsford that one can truly understand the man himself. Perhaps the culmination of his fame and influence was as the organiser of the Royal visit to Edinburgh of King George IV . This not only impacted early 19th century Scotland but had a long lasting affect bringing back into fashion the wearing of full highland dress, broad swords dirks and highland belt pistols of the type offered here.

Campbell 25.3.12, in modern mounts and frames (2) Image size: 10cm x 20cm, 13cm x 20.5cm Provenance: E. A. Campbell (1879-1951) Note: Born into a military family, E. A. A. Campbell was destined for a soldier’s life. Captain Campbell was commissioned into the 2nd/7th Gordon Highlander in 1914 and served until 1919. But it was his fascination with the uniforms and the badges of the Regiment’s that inspired his works and made him an authority on the subject. His paintings were published in the Tiger and Sphinx and his works really give us an insight into the personal element of a soldier’s life. His paintings depict Officers and other ranks, those shown here show Privates in marching order, one with grey greatcoat and bonnet cover and one without.

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
21.2
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.

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.

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.
C. DURING THE SALE 1. ADMISSION TO OUR AUCTIONS We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. We may refuse admission at any time before, during or after the auction. 2. RESERVES Unless indicated by an insert symbol (∆), all Lots in this Catalogue are offered subject to a Reserve. A Reserve is the confidential Hammer Price established between us and the Seller. The Reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low Estimate and will not exceed the low Estimate for the Lot. 3. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion.

CURRENCY CONVERTER The saleroom video screens and bidding platforms may show bids in some other major currencies as Well as sterling. Any conversion is for guidance only and we cannot be bound be any rate of exchange used. We are not responsible for any error (human or otherwise) omission or breakdown in providing these services. 7. SUCCESSFUL BIDS 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.

D. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY 1. THE PURCHASE PRICE 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. 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. Please see D.2(e) for the conditions to be fulfilled before the VAT charged on the Hammer Price may be cancelled or refunded upon exporting from the UK.
(a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium 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 UK and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (b) Lots affixed with (): A reduced rate of Import Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the UK. (c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of 20% of Import Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the UK and do not fall within the reduced rate category. (d) Lots affixed with [Ω] or when these lots are released to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay us Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. the import VAT at the rates noted above on the hammer price. The buyer should also note that the appropriate rate will be that in force on the date of our release and not that in force at the date of auction or payment. (e) Export from the UK: For lots offered under the VAT Margin Scheme and lots with [Ω] or symbols attached; you may be eligible to have a VAT refund in certain circumstances if the lot is exported. Should you show us proof of export within three months
of collection a VAT refund may be arranged. No VAT amounts will be refunded where the total refund is under £100. Bank/transfer charges relating to any refund will be borne by the buyer and will not be reimbursed. Please also note that all customs formalities of the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer. 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.
