leading to the inclusion of the latter’s duck finials in this collection

In the 1830s James was Lord Provost and MP for Glasgow. He also bought the house and estate of Levenside in Dumbartonshire, changing the name to Strathleven House. In 1836 he married Jane Tucker Crawford (1811-1896) and in 1838 sold Glasgow House to the Edinburgh and Glasgow railway company, who demolished it to build Queen Street Station. In 1844 James and Jane Ewing, after having their busts carved by James Fillans in London (see lot 25), embarked on a thirteen month tour of the continent. James Ewing was actively buying art and antiques both before and during his ‘Grand Tour’. At one point, his collection included a Titian he acquired in Venice, now in The Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Many of the Italian and continental paintings and other artworks being offered here came from his collection, including the important maiolica (lots 64 and 65), mention of which is made in his letters (see note to lot 64). James and Jane had no children and so on his death in 1853 his estate passed to his nephew, Humphry Crum Ewing (1802-1887). Jane, who had been much younger than her husband, had been given

(see lot 66). He was also author of a book ‘The Happy Warrior’, about his uncle, the distinguished General Sir Ian Standish Hamilton, twice recommended for the VC and a close friend of Sir Winston Churchill. The Hamiltons were a military family with four generations having served in The Gordon Highlanders. They were also a long established Glasgow family, with one ancestor, John Hamilton (1713-80), having been minister of Glasgow High Church for thirty years (lot 85). When Constance died in 1982, Lowood was inherited by her son Alexander Hamilton (1932-2020). Alexander, who spent much of his time in Jamaica, was passionate about breeding and training racehorses, a family trait: his grandfather’s horse ‘Caymanas’ won at Royal Ascot in 1934 (see lot 193) and his mother and sister were also breeders. The more modern paintings in the collection (lots 166 & 167) speaks to this family passion. Following Alexander’s death, the family are now leaving Lowood and feel it is time to pass on many of its treasures to new owners, with the hope that they will be enjoyed and appreciated as much as they have been by the family over the generations.

£5,000-7,000

Note: Scenes of ladies of the court were popular in the late Ming and early Qing period and are often based on a painting by Qiu Ying (14941552) known as ‘Spring Morning in the Han Palace’. Changing cultural models of female identity were taking place by the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and the popularity of scenes with predominantly female figures engaging in various activities, including the ‘Four Arts of the Scholar’, may reflect this shift in cultural attitudes to women in terms of cultural refinement.

£10,000-15,000

‘Design for a ‘Marqueterie Centre Table’, Richard Hicks Bridgens, Furniture with Candelabra and Interior Decoration Designed by R. Bridgens, pl. 16.

Note: The present table bears the crown and interlaced L’s cipher of LouisPhilippe, King of France, who reigned from 1830-1848. After abdicating in 1848, Louis-Philippe and Queen Marie-Amelie moved to England, taking up residence at Claremont, Surrey, where they remained living in exile for the rest of their lives. Claremont was owned by Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, who had lent it to his niece Queen Victoria, who subsequently lent it the exiled French royal family. This table was probably commissioned through the Board of Works in the late 1840’s and supplied to Claremont for the French ex-sovereign. A near identical table was sold at Christie’s, Important English Furniture and Carpets, 23 November 2006, The Property of a Lady, lot 123. The table relates to a group of similar marquetry tables with triform concavesided pedestals profusely inlaid with floral marquetry on an ebony ground in the Dutch style made popular from the 1820s by Robert Blake, whose firm operated from premises on Tottenham Court Road. A ‘Cabinet inlayer and Buhl manufacturer’, by the 1840s the firm was trading as ‘Blake, Geo. &

Brothers, inlayers, etc’ and eventually as George Blake & Co. by the end of the decade. The design is most likely based on one for a ‘Grecian style’ table by the architect Richard Hicks Bridgens with a triform pedestal base and in-scrolled feet, featured in his Furniture with Candelabra and Interior Decoration, 1st e. 1825 & 1838, pl. 16. There is also a strong link between the Blake manufacturers and Edward Holmes Baldock, who supplied a similar table bearing his cipher EHB to the Dukes of Buccleuch, now in the collection of Temple Newsam, see C. Gilbert, Furniture at Temple Newsam and Lotherton Hall, Vol II, London, 1978, no.395. Baldock appears to have operated in the manner of a marchand-mercier, rather than maker, supplying luxury goods of all sorts to a list of distinguished clients. A discussion on the relationship between Baldock and the Blake family can be found in E.H.Baldock and the Blake Family: Further Evidence, Martin Levy, in Furniture History Society Newsletter No. 158, May 2005, p.1.

AN UNRECORDED ITALIAN [URBINO] ISTORIATA MAIOLICA DISH, ATTRIBUTED TO NICOLA DA URBINO, CIRCA 1520-23 SAMSON AND DELILAH Depicting the treacherous Delilah, with scissors and holding to one side the locks of hair she has cut from the kneeling Samson, inscribed on the bench and the wall behind ‘DALIDA’ and ‘SANSON’, the single large shoe in the foreground referring to Samson’s now lost physical strength and size, or it could be the jaw of an ass, a symbol of his previous victories. 27.2cm diameter, 5.3cm high Provenance: From the collection of James Ewing (1775-1853) Strathleven House, Dunbartonshire, by descent and by inheritance to the present owners. An inventory of 1926 lists the dish along with another [also offered for sale here] as being framed in “Quaint Gilt Circular Frames” and valued at £300. Ewing, a Glasgow merchant with antiquarian interests and contributions to the historical and literary Maitland Club, was closely involved with civic affairs as director of Glasgow’s Chamber of Commerce. In 1832 he served as Lord Provost of Glasgow and as a Glasgow MP. Marrying late and in his 60s, he accompanied his young wife on a tour of Europe and Italy in 1844-5. Correspondence in connection to this trip was later privately published as a memoir by the Reverend MacIntosh Mackay in 1866. Within these letters there are few references to Ewing acquiring or buying art, although it was at this time that he bought several significant pieces, one being the Portrait of Jacopo Dolfin by Titian, now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[1] He does however mention, in a letter from Florence on the 27th November 1844, purchasing “China pieces of the fourteenth century” when he was in Genoa a few weeks previously.[2] This gives us some evidence that he acquired maiolica at this time and it seems likely that this is how he came to acquire this dish and the other in this sale.

fluid draftsmanship, lyrical figure drawing, understanding of recessional space, and use of contemporary classically inspired Renaissance architectural views are all characteristic of his style and are well illustrated here. Overall, his knowledge of the work of his contemporary Raphael, who died in 1520, and his circle in Rome, is evidenced by a print by Giovanni Antonio da Brescia, who also worked in Rome at this time [see figure 1]. The print, from 1510-20, is a circular engraved composition in reverse of this subject.[2] Both potter and printmaker appear to have knowledge of an unknown original narrative image of this subject matter, now lost. As is sometimes the case with Nicola, some of the figures in this piece hint of an even more direct knowledge of Raphael’s early work.[3]

In the 19th century the Correr maiolica service was thought by scholars to have been painted by the Urbino painter Timoteo Viti (1469-1523) and was seen as the jewel in the crown of the Correr collection. The painting style of Nicola’s early work that we have here seems to stylistically reference his work in the broadest sense. Viti, trained in the dynamic humanist artistic background of Bologna under Francesco Francia, is known to have worked with Raphael in the Chigi Chapel in Santa Maria della Pace in Rome circa 1511. As v a friend of Raphael, Viti is reputed to have obtained or inherited zthe most important group of Raphael’s studio drawings and to have brought them back to Urbino after Raphael’s death. He himself died in 1523. Nicola’s knowledge of Raphael’s style of work may in part

65 AN ITALIAN [GUBBIO] ISTORIATA MAIOLICA LUSTRED DISH FROM THE WORKSHOP OF MAESTRO GIORGIO ANDREOLI, EARLY 1530S AENEAS AND ACHATES LEAVING THEIR FRIENDS TO EXPLORE THE COAST OF LIBYA The scene is set within a landscape with classical buildings and a distant hill; the image picked out in gold and red lustre, the reverse decorated with scrolling foliage and a central fleur-de-lis within a border in red and gold lustre, on a small foot rim; the use of this particular scene is unusual. 26.5cm diam, 3.8cm high Provenance: From the collection of James Ewing (1775-1853) Strathleven House, Dunbartonshire, by descent and by inheritance to the present owners. An inventory of 1926 lists the dish along with another [also offered for sale here] as being framed in “Quaint Gilt Circular Frames” and valued at £300. Note: The image is after an engraving of 1516 by Giovanni Antonio da Brescia [see figure 1] of four titled scenes from Virgil’s Aeneid.[1] This engraving,[2] in turn, is a reversed copy, on a single plate, of the two side panels of Marcantonio Raimondi’s engraving ‘Quos Ego!’ (after Raphael), a composition inspired by classical relief sculpture.[3] Various panels from this engraving were frequently used by maiolica decorators in Urbino and Gubbio but the use of this particular scene is unusual. This dish relates to pieces that are part of a lustred and un-lustred maiolica group linked by Mallet and Wilson to the workshop of Maestro Giorgio.[4] In particular, the dish shares similarities to one decorated with an unidentified subject and dated 1524,[5] and to another un-lustred dish now in the Museo Civico Medievale, Bologna,[6] decorated as we have here with a scene from Virgil’s Aeneid, using another panel from the Raimondi “Quos Ego!” engraving.

This group of maiolica attributed to the workshop of Giorgio Andreoli is inscribed with dates between 1524 and 1527. The dating of this dish is not, however, straightforward. The lustred decoration in yellow and ruby on the reverse and its overall shape indicate that the dish is later in date and of the early 1530s.[7] [1] Aeneid, Lib.1, 312 [2] Hind, Early Italian Engraving, G.A. da Brescia, no35, p550a [3] Bartsch, vol XIV, p264-8, n.352, BM Reg. 1870,0625.1065 [4] Summarized by Wilson 2017, p251-253 [5] Wilson, 2018, Cat 174, p394 [6] Ravanelli Guidotti, 1985, p138, cat 104 [7] It is comparable, for example, to the reverse of a dated plate of 1534 decorated with the Birth of Aesculapius now in the Museum Boymans-van Beuningen and attributed to Francesco “Urbini”.

66 GILBERT BAYES (BRITISH 1872-1953) A PAIR OF ROYAL DOULTON GLAZED STONEWARE FINIALS, CIRCA 1935 Modelled as a duck and a drake, glazed in green, blue, mauve and umber, one with moulded signature to base ‘GILBERT BAYES’, both raised on later ebonised limewood plinths (2) tallest figure 48cm high (68cm high inc stand), 13cm wide, smaller figure 45cm high (65cm high inc stand), 13cm wide Provenance: Ian B. M. Hamilton and by family descent Literature: Irvine, Louise and Atterbury, Paul, Gilbert Bayes: Sculptor 1872-1953, Richard Dennis 1988, pp. 36-37; p.172 illus.

£5,000-7,000

Note: During the 1930’s, Gilbert Bayes worked on a community art project for the St. Pancras Housing Association Improvement Society as part of a slum clearance scheme at Sidney Street in Somerstown, north of Euston station, and at other sites across London. The aim was the provision of high-quality homes for the poorest tenants. The society’s architect was Ian B. M. Hamilton, the grandfather of the current owners, and he designed all the new flats to stand on the cleared land. Since Bayes believed that art should be available to all people, this commission was very close to his heart. He produced relief model lunettes of fairy tale characters, as well as ceramic sculptures and post finials for the washing line posts. The finials were inspired by animals and plants, nursery rhymes, Christmas cards, or the lives of the saints. All the post finials and relief panels were made by Royal Doulton between 1931 and 1938 and as well as at Somerstown the Society commissioned these embellishments by Bayes at their other London projects. These duck finials for example were used at the Athlone Estate (1933-7) in Kentish Town and the dragons, rose and thistle finials were made for the York Rise Estate (1937-8) near Highgate Hill. All the original post finials for the project have now been removed, although some original relief plaques and ornaments remain at Sidney Street.

This rare shape was produced in the early Worcester period. There would have been significant technical challenges in the production of twelve-sided and ten-sided forms, hence there are few examples.

113 AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PTOLEMAIC GILT CARTONNAGE MASK CIRCA 2ND/1ST CENTURY B.C. Polychrome pigment and gilding over cartonnage, the tripartite wig elaborately decorated with the upper section a gold and blue checked pattern, the lower section with dual depictions of Isis in bird form, horizontal panels of lotus leaves and a scene of Isis worshipping the resurrected Osiris, with a red headband knotted in back and central wadjet eye in relief at the front, the hair falling in linked spirals over the forehead, the face gilt and framed by umber pigment, the white eyes with black irises and eyebrows, presented in a bespoke case Provenance: By family repute possibly acquired on the advice of the noted Egyptologist, Walter Ewing Crum (1865-1944)

£10,000-15,000

114 Note: The ancient Egyptians believed that the first to achieve eternal life following death was the god Osiris. Following his murder by his brother Set, Osiris’ body was scattered throughout Egypt. It was Osiris’ devoted wife Isis who travelled across the country, collecting body parts with the aid of the other gods, to restore her husband. Thus, Osiris became the first mummy and the mythological basis for Egyptian embalming practices. The present cartonnage mask shows two scenes from this story; at the base of the wig is the mummified Osiris, being worshipped by Isis. We also see Isis in the form of a kite or kestrel as this was the shape she took when fanning magical breath back into Osiris’ mummified body with her wings. Yet interestingly, Osiris does not appear in this depiction, suggesting that Isis is in fact shown fanning life into the wearer of this mask. It is through painted scenes such as this we can understand how the deceased wished to be transfigured, achieving eternal life in the same way as Osiris himself. This is further emphasised by the use of gilding to the face; the ancient Egyptians believed that the skin of Osiris (and all gods) was formed of gold; its eternal, unchanging nature and solar glow reflecting the divine. As such, a mask such as this was intended to equate its wearer with the divine in the hope of eternal life.

Although from a military family he chose a different path, first spending several years in Ceylon growing coffee (see lot 330) and then studying art at the Slade under Alphonse Legros, where he won a prize for landscape painting. He later exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1886 and at the Paris Salon. Coming from an army family, it is perhaps unsurprising that many of Vereker’s well-known works are on a military theme and are held in the collections of the Imperial War Museum, the National Army Museum and the Gordon Highlanders Museum.

Given Vereker’s family links, it is perhaps unsurprising that some of her known works are of famous soldiers, such as lot 133, although other works include a medal of suffragist Dorothea Beale. An article in the Pall Mall magazine of August 1910 notes: “Mrs Vereker Hamilton has gained such distinction in the art that examples of her skill are included in the famous collections of medals formed by the French Government” (including the medal of the Maharaja of Kapurthala in lot 129). Her work can be found today in the collections of the British Museum and the V&A.

effects, owing to his extensive and varied annual travels. While his preference remained for the sunlit southern landscapes, which he painted in Italy, Greece, Turkey, Spain, Egypt and Israel, in his later years he became increasingly drawn to the dramatic weather effects and geological formations in Ireland, Scotland and Cornwall. Many of Leighton’s open-air works feature conspicuously in his

During the three-year period when he moved to Italy in 1880, Corbet officially supplanted portraiture for landscape painting under Costa’s direct guidance. In 1891, he married Edith Murch, a fellow member of the group who had been painting with Costa in Rome from the mid-1870s, and whose landscape style reflects the closeknit practice of the Etruscan painters.

studio pictures, in which he sometimes conflated studies from different locations in order to create the impression of more universal, generalised landscapes, perfectly fit for the mythological and symbolical subjects of his figurative works. Although Leighton proudly displayed his open-air works on the walls of his studio, they nonetheless belonged to the category of études, studies of details of nature and not full-fledged exhibitable pictures. The only major display of his oil studies took place at the Royal Society for British Artists in 1895, upon which occasion he admitted that “his passion had always been for landscape”.

We are grateful to Pola Durajska for her assistance in the cataloguing and notes for Lots 153-158 and for her introductory essay. Pola is a freelance art historian. She has completed her doctoral research on the landscape art of Frederic Leighton at the University of York, and is currently preparing an exhibition of the artist’s open-air oil studies for the Leighton House Museum in London.

153 LORD FREDERIC LEIGHTON P.R.A., R.W.S. (BRITISH 1830-1896) AN ABBEY IN THE MOUNTAINS Oil on canvas 39.5cm x 25cm (15.5in x 9.75in)

£10,000-15,000

Note: While the exact location of this study remains unidentified, it was perhaps exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists in 1895 as Convent on Capri (no. 32). If so, it would most likely represent the charterhouse of San Giacomo, with the characteristic white cloisters surrounded by barrel vaulted buildings on the left and a church seen to the right. From the hill where the abbey is located Leighton painted also an untraced study of the famous Faraglioni Rocks in 1875, in the company of Giovanni Costa. On the other hand, the vantage point in Leighton’s painting seems improbable unless he applied an artificially foreshortened perspective, given that the abbey is situated very close to the plunging cliffside. Alternative locations could perhaps include Greece or Spain. The emphatically upright format and the extremely high horizon seem to be an extension of Leighton’s experiments at the mountainous Cervara di Roma in the 1850s, and the treatment of architecture and the flowing brushwork of the landscape are typical of his open-air work.

154 LORD FREDERIC LEIGHTON P.R.A., R.W.S. (BRITISH 1830-1896) VIEW OF MAQAM AL-ARBA’IN, MOUNT QASIOUN, DAMASCUS Oil on canvas 21.5cm x 35cm (8.5in x 13.75in) Note: This open-air oil study was almost certainly painted in 1873, when Leighton was visiting his friend the Orientalist and explorer Richard Burton and his wife in Damascus. It depicts the Maqam al-Arba’in shrine on Mount Qasiyun (the ‘mountain of the forty prophets’), just outside Damascus, which is the believed site of the Biblical murder of Abel at the hands of Cain. The painting is visible in the photograph of Leighton’s studio taken in 1895 (see page 99), which suggests that it was featured in the artist’s posthumous sale of 1896, organised by Christie’s. It was perhaps sold under lot 43, A View in Damascus which was exhibited at Newcastle, or lot 168, A Mountain Scene, with temple and figure, Egypt, given the speculative nature of the titles ascribed at the sale. This work is hoped to feature in the unprecedented exhibition of Leighton’s landscape oil studies at Leighton House Museum in London around 2023-4.

155 MATTHEW RIDLEY CORBET (BRITISH 1850-1902) THE NILE AT LUXOR Inscribed with intitials, inscribed and dated 1879 on old label verso, oil on canvas 11.5cm x 25.5cm (4.5in x 10in)

£800-1,200

Note: This work belongs to a series of studies Corbet painted while sailing up the Nile in the winter of 1878-9 and was perhaps given to Vereker and Lilian Hamilton, fellow students at the Slade. It was painted between 5:30 and 6 pm, which testifies the significance the artist placed on the immediate impression of a landscape. Stylistically, it displays affinity with the views on the Nile that Frederic Leighton painted in 1868, which likely stems from the fact that Corbet had been sketching with Leighton and Giovanni Costa in Perugia only a few months before his trip to Egypt. The study is equally reminiscent, particularly in the bluish hue of the mountains, of the Extensive View of the Nile painted most likely in 1888 by George Howard (Castle Howard, Yorkshire), 9th Earl of Carlisle and a close associate of both Costa and Leighton.

156 MATTHEW RIDLEY CORBET (BRITISH 1850-1902) ENTRANCE TO THE SMALLER TEMPLE AT MEDINET HABOO (SIC) Signed with initials, inscribed and dated ‘December 1878’ verso, oil on canvas laid down on board 18cm x 25.5cm (7in x 10.5in)

£800-1,200

Note: This is the only known architectural study painted by Corbet during his voyage up the Nile in the winter of 1878-9, and perhaps entered the collection of Vereker and Lilian Hamilton, Corbet’s fellow students at the Slade, as a token of friendship. As another study produced in the same month and also painted on canvas which was then laid on board, Desert Afternoon (Fondation Custodia, Collection Frits Lugt, Paris), it exemplifies Corbet’s practice of dating his open-air pieces. As his subject the artist unconventionally chose a gateway leading toward the Pavilion of Rameses III at Medinet Habu in Luxor, rather than to the site’s main temple. Having recently stayed with Frederic Leighton in Perugia, Corbet’s style displays his influence in the dynamic, imploding composition with a distant glimpse of the blue sky as well as in the characteristic brushwork which he might have seen in the sketches that Leighton himself painted on the Nile in 1868.

157 MATTHEW RIDLEY CORBET (BRITISH 1850-1902) THE MOUNTAINS OF URBINO FROM PERUGIA Inscribed with initials, inscribed on old label verso, oil on canvas 9cm x 40.5cm (3.5in x 15.875in)

£800-1,200

158 MATTHEW RIDLEY CORBET (BRITISH 1850-1902 AN ALPINE VIEW Inscribed with initials verso, oil on paper laid down on canvas; and a companion, a pair, also mounted within the same frame (2) 9cm x 20.5cm (3.5in x in) each Note: These two small studies mounted together most probably depict Alpine landscapes. They were painted on individual sheets of paper subsequently laid on canvas. The initials “M.R.C.” inscribed in charcoal directly onto the canvas verso confirm the authorship of Corbet, although they are difficult to compare with his other traced open-air works due to the lack of known Alpine views in the artist’s oeuvre. The, unusual at this stage in landscape painting, technique of oil on paper enhances the fluidity of the artist’s dynamic brushwork in these evidently swiftly executed sketches which depict a small village and a church in lush green valleys surrounded by mountains. The motif of tumultuous clouds engulfing mountain tops especially in the latter work is close to that in the landscape sketch for Frederic Leighton’s David of around 1865 (Leighton House Museum, London).

£600-800

Note: Corbet painted this study in September 1881, most likely in the company of Frederic Leighton and Giovanni Costa who both stayed there at the time. The emphatically elongated format of this mountainous view is distinctly ‘Etruscan’ and was evidently influenced by Costa’s teachings. The undulating outline of the foreground hill steeped in lush green is dramatically backdropped by the sfumato-enveloped mountains in the distance, which adds to the impression of aerial perspective. The treatment of the mountains is reminiscent of Leighton’s studies of the Turkish coast of 1867, while the emphatically upward brushwork of the sky which evokes heat vapour is comparable with Leighton’s Egyptian studies of 1868.

This newly discovered mid 18th century Edinburgh coffee urn adds

While the marks to this example are now all but obliterated,

to a small but important group of Scottish silver, arguably without

it does seem possible to suggest a maker, comparing stylistic

compare. Bringing the survival to approximately seventeen (with

trends of shape, decoration and cast elements. The most likely

eleven in institutions), this urn fits perfectly within the Golden Age

candidate appears to be the highly regarded Edinburgh silversmith

of Edinburgh silver.

James Kerr, who would latterly go into partnership with William

With no parallel elsewhere in England or the rest of Europe, where the inspiration for this design emanates from is still the subject of debate, although the basic shape may derive something from the earlier practice of mounting ostrich eggs in silver. During the period of these urns manufacture (circa 1719 - 1767) and particularly within the height of their manufacture (circa 1730 -1750) the number of standard pouring coffee pots is minimal. This and a reference in the John Rollo, Goldsmith Edinburgh, account book ‘To one Coffe poot 62 oz 2dr at 7sh 6pe per oz - £23 - 5 - 8’ and the survival of this piece adds great weight to the theory of their use being for coffee, rather than as hot water or tea. Their functionality also is worthy of note, when it is considered that within contemporary accounts coffee is considered medicinal and should ‘be drunk as hot as one can bear’ the shape combined with the use of a burner (now lacking in most of extant examples) would have meant the contents could have been kept hot. The design of these urns seems to vary more by the period than maker, with the flair of the maker coming in the outline shape of the body; they can vary from elongated to more compressed squat forms. All but one of the surviving urns are of Edinburgh manufacture and by a small but highly regarded group of makers. The exception is a Dundee marked example by Alexander Johnston, which while marked by him and the body likely made by him, the cast elements (legs, handles etc.) appear to emanate from one of the Edinburgh makers, likely James Kerr. Research continues but it would appear that all seventeen urns could have these cast elements emanating from as few as three original workshops, although the number of makers marks struck to them is greater.

Dempster becoming Kerr & Dempster. On earlier examples Kerr’s mark is prolific and on later examples the partnerships maker’s mark is also seen. Perhaps most telling is the delicately flat chased decoration and diaper work to the neck which is reminiscent of Kerr’s work on bullet teapots of the same period. The cast legs with their acanthus clasped tops, with plain rat tail rib and the raised hoof feet are also a mould recognised as coming from the Kerr workshop. Access to prepared moulds in the workshop must suggest a place of manufacture similar to the other urns featuring these patterns. The crossover of makers using the same moulds and patterns for handles, legs and spigot does add some confusion to these theories, but the majority of urns using these moulds can be tied to the Kerr (and latterly Kerr & Dempster) workshop. It is also worth noting that James Kerr was responsible for the creation of the Hopetoun tea and coffee service (originally commissioned with an ovoid coffee urn, now lost) and similarities can be seen with the light diaper work of the 18th century and hoof feet of the spirit kettle held in the collection of The National Museums of Scotland. This piece certainly pre-dates his partnership with William Dempster in 1751, so it seems safe to ascribe James Kerr’s name alone to this work. This urn is also rare in that it was made with an integral placement for the spirit lamp burner.

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

21.2

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.

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.
