In addition to the Royal seal there is a significant collection of manuscripts relating to Taymouth Castle, the Earls of Breadalbane and Holland and the Breadalbane and Langton Estates dating throughout the 18th century and into 19th century.

Taymouth Castle was built between 1806 and 1842 by John Campbell, 4th Earl and 1st Marquess of Breadalbane, in the Neo Gothic style to a design by the architects James & Archibald Elliot. Taymouth lies on the south bank of the River Tay on the site of the 16th century seat of Clan Campbell, Balloch Castle, just North East of the village of Kenmore. The castle is positioned in the heart of Scotland upon lands that, at their zenith, stretched across some 450,000 acres from Perthshire across into the West of Scotland and the Atlantic Ocean. No expense was spared during the construction of the castle, with its fabulous carvings, plasterwork and murals.

3 CHRONICLE OF FORTIGALL [FORTINGALL] MANUSCRIPT Summary comprising 36 quarto pages, with two vellum leaves taken from a Latin mass book or similar acting as protective front and back cover, now bound into a leather volume, bearing ‘Chronicle of Fortirgall M.S.’ on the spine. The work was compiled at Fortingall, at the mouth of Glen Lyon in Highland Perthshire, near the eastern end of Loch Tay. It is written in several hands. Compilation took place between 1554 and 1579, although it may have begun earlier. One of the compilers records that he said his first mass in 1531, began to serve the curate at the church of Fortingall in 1532, and acknowledged the chief of the MacGregors. He may be the principal compiler, and further identified with Dubhghall (Dougal) MacGregor, on record as vicar of Fortingall in 1544. The authorial perspective reveals continuing Catholic allegiance, and hostility to the Scottish Reformation brought into law in 1560. £20,000-30,000 Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price: see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 4

the single most previous surviving Gaelic manuscript of Scottish provenance, the Book of the Dean of Lismore, now held by the National Library of Scotland (NLS Advocates’ MS. 72.1.37). On internal evidence, the Book of the Dean of Lismore was compiled between 1512 and 1542. There are numerous similarities and connections between the ‘Chronicle of Fortirgall’ and the Book of the Dean of Lismore, enough to bear out the likelihood that they were compiled on a successive but overlapping basis, by different generations of the same family of MacGregors between c. 1512 and 1579. Physical Description and Identification The manuscript consists of (i) 2 vellum leaves, sequentially placed first and last, and both bearing on both sides Latin liturgical text, and (ii) 36 paper pages, with writing either on both sides, or one one side only, or on neither side. When the item was rebound in the 19th century the manuscript was disaggregated, and its vellum leaves and paper pages placed individually between the paper pages of the volume.

The manuscript is a miscellany written in three languages: Latin, Scots and Gaelic. It contains:

5) A Gaelic poem written in an orthography based on Middle Scots

1) A list in Latin of 104 kings of Scots, copied directly from the printed edition (possibly 1533) of John Bellenden’s translaton of Hector Boece’s Scotorum Historiae, ‘The Histories of the Scots’

6) Poetry in Middle Scots: the stanza beginning ‘Luffaris be war and tak gwd heid about’ from Robert Henryson’s Testament of Cresseid; two stanzas from the poem sometimes attributed to William Dunbar, generally known as The Ballate againis Evill Women

2) A list in Latin of obituaries and reign-lengths of kings of Scots from Malcolm III to James IV/V 3) A list in Latin of Scottish battles from Bannockburn to Flodden 4) (a) A ‘local’ chronicle in Latin and Scots recording the deaths of prominent men and women, principally from the central and western Highlands, between 1390 and 1579; (b) from winter 1554-5 onwards, the chronicle becomes more personal in voice and diverse in its content, taking in the weather, economic conditions including the prices of victual, and events of local, regional, national and European significance

7) Miscellaneous verses, proverbs and aphorisms in Latin 8) Miscellaneous prose items in Latin and Scots: the size and divisions of Ireland; medicine and cures; religion and belief; commentary against women and inebriation The compiler(s) almost certainly belonged to a lineage of MacGregors who may have first settled beside the church of Fortingall around 1400, and who regularly served as clergy there. Dubhghall’s father was Seumas (James), who died in 1551, and who during his lifetime was also vicar of Fortingall. He was also the dean of Lismore - that is dean of the diocese of Argyll - and was the owner of what is probably

On the basis of the contents of its paper pages, the manuscript can be identified with certainty as ‘The Chronicle of Fortirgall’, which was transcribed, edited and published in The Black Book of Taymouth: with other papers from the Breadalbane Charter Room (T. Constable: Edinburgh, 1855). In 1855 when Cosmo Innes studied and published it in The Black Book of Taymouth it belonged with the private family papers of the earls of Breadalbane, held at Taymouth Castle by Kenmore, at the east end of Loch Tay in Highland Perthshire. When at various points during the twentieth century these papers were transferred to what is now the National Records of Scotland (NRS) in Edinburgh, where they are catalogued as the Breadalbane Munuments (NRS GD112), this manuscript was not amongst them. The editor, Cosmo Innes, discusses ‘The Chronicle of Fortigall’ in the preface (p. viii-xi) and the edition follows at pp.107-148. In the preface Innes states that the name has been assigned - presumably by himself - ‘on presumptions afforded by the MS’. He adds that it is ‘a small 4to book of paper, much decayed and imperfect, giving no name of the compiler or writer’. He makes no mention of a cover of vellum leaves, but the contents of that edition at pp.107-148 precisely match the contents of the paper pages of the manuscript under discussion, leaving no room for doubt that they are one and the same. The paper pages are indeed ‘decayed and imperfect’, suggesting that they were already in this condition when Innes came to work on the manuscript. A consistent staining pattern affects many pages, perhaps caused by damp.


15

But other pages bear darker staining whose location suggests the application of chemicals to enhance legibility where this was difficult. The may have happened in the course of preparing the edition of the text for publication in 1855, and the disaggregation and rebinding of the manuscript within the leather volume may have happened at this point also, and at the behest of Cosmo Innes, the better to preserve the manuscript. Dating, Provenance and Authorship Analysis of the contents of the ‘local’ chronicle, and some of the diary-style entries, indicates that the manuscript was written between 1554 and 1579, although an earlier start date is possible. The place of compilation was Fortingall, at the mouth of Glen Lyon in Highland Perthshire, near the eastern end of Loch Tay. Historically, Fortingall was the name of both a nuclear settlement and a parish, and the settlement was and is the location of the parish church. The manuscript is of composite authorship, written in several hands. The authorial perspective reveals a consistent Catholic allegiance, and hostility to the Scottish Reformation brought into law in 1560. One of the compilers records that he said his first mass in 1531, began to serve the church of Fortingall in 1532, and acknowledged the chief of the MacGregors. He may be the principle compiler, and further identified with Dubhghall (Dougall) MacGregor, on record of Fortingall in 1544. Dubhghall, and very likely the other compiler(s), belonged to a lineage of MacGregors, who may have first settled at Tulaich a’ Mhuilinn, hard by the church of Fortingall, around 1400, and who regularly served as clergy there. Dubhghall’s father was Seumas (James), whose detailed obituary in the ‘local’ chronicle records that he died in 1551, and during life was vicar of Fortingall and dean of the diocese of Lismore or Argyll. Seumas was the owner of what is probably the single most precious surviving Gaelic manuscript of Scottish provenance, the Book of the Dean of Lismore. On internal evidence, the Book of the Dean of Lismore was compiled at Fortingall between 1512 and 1542. Its main contents are Gaelic poetry, of Scottish and Irish provenance. It is the unique source of survival for the great proportion of this poetry; without the Book of the Dean of Lismore very little poetry of Scottish provenance, composed in the middle and later middle ages, would now be known. There are numerous similarities and connections between the ‘Chronicle of Fortirgall’ and Book of the Dean of Lismore: 1) Physical appearance: both the Book of the Dean of Lismore and the ‘Chronicle of

Fortirgall’ can be categorised as ‘commonplace books’ of quarto size, with vellum covers taken from liturgical manuscripts, and paper pages

neither chronicle derives wholly from the other, and that both derive from a lost parent chronicle.

2) Composite authorship

Significance

3) Written in the style of writing known as secretary hand, in Latin, Scots and Gaelic: the Gaelic written not in ‘classical ‘ orthography, but in an orthography based upon Middle Scots

The significance of this manuscript lies in:

4) Miscellaneous contents, with categories to (7) as deduced for the ‘Chronicle of Fortirgall’ above, also valid for the Book of the Dean of Lismore. 5) Shared contents: 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 are essentially the same, perhaps copied from the Book of the Dean of Lismore to the ‘Chronicle of Fortirgall’; 8, ‘the size and divisions of Ireland’ 4 (a) the ‘local’ chronicles in each manuscript share 69 entries, while 13 are unique to the chronicle in the Book of the Dean of Lismore and 50 are unique to the ‘Chronicle of Fortirgall’. This would seem to imply that

1) its very close connection to the Book of the Dean of Lismore, and potential to add to our knowledge of the Book of the Dean of Lismore’s genesis, contents and compilers 2) its importance as a source for the history of the Highlands - social, political, cultural, economic, religious - in the later middle ages. 3) its linguistic importance, embodying the interplay of Latin, Scots and Gaelic, as written languages in the Scottish Highlands/Gaelicspeaking Scotland in the later middle ages. Note: We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Dr. Martin MacGregor, University of Glasgow, in the cataloguing of the manuscript.

10 SIR WILLIAM CHARLES ROSS, R.A., (1794-1860) THE MARCHIONESS OF BREADALBANE, MARY GAVIN CAMPBELL large miniature portrait, oil and bodycolour on ivory, the subject depicted seated in a red upholstered open armchair, her dark hair arranged loosely in ringlets falling across her decolletage, wearing a brown velvet dress edged in lace and blue satin, and adorned with turquoise and pearl mounted jewellery, in a fitted Moroccan leather case 22.9 x 15.9cm sight size Note: The stylish and striking sitter for this portrait is Mary Gavin Campbell, wife of John Campbell, the 1st Marquess of Breadalbane, whom she married in 1793. After her marriage she was styled Countess of Breadalbane and Holland, and from 1831, Marchioness of Breadalbane. She died in 1845. The miniature portrait is recorded in the Christie Manson & Woods 1863 Inventory of Taymouth Castle as hanging in the Tapestry Sitting Room, item 446. William Charles Ross artistic talent was recognised and encouraged from an early age by his parents, both of whom were accomplished portrait painters. Ross’ glossy style was influenced by Andrew Robertson, to whom he was apprenticed in 1814. In 1817 he established his own studio in London and quickly made a name for himself with prominent commissions. His growing list of important sitters included the prime minister and the queen’s uncle, and in 1837 Queen Victoria herself commissioned a portrait. She declared it ‘very like and very well painted’ and appointed Ross as Miniature Painter to the Queen, a position providing the opportunity to portray sitters from royal families throughout Europe. Ross was knighted in 1842.

MENTIS’, enclosing a saltire enamelled central shield with lion rampant within and crown surmount, with foliate and shell suspension Length: 5.8cm, weight 35g Note: Instituted by King James I in 1624 to raise money independently of Parliament the Baronets of Nova Scotia were sold to Scottish landowners. In 1625 Charles I conferred on the holders of this land the title and dignity of Baronets of Nova Scotia and the use of the title Sir. These titles were used until the Act of Union in 1707 when the separate Scottish and English titles came into line and became baronetcies of Great Britain. Some 18th, 19th and 20th century copies of these original badges are recorded presumably made by families whose forbearers had held the title and wished to commemorate this. It is likely that this piece was acquired to commemorate the family’s historical connections to the Baronetage of Nova Scotia such as 5th Baronet Sir John Campbell, 1st Earl of Breadalbane & Holland.

This extensive rare and historic service comprises pieces from two distinct Worcester periods. Part of the service is pre-1840 and the pieces are marked with the Flight, Barr and Barr brown printed mark. In addition to these there is a large quantity of post-1840 unmarked pieces, which were made around the time when Chamberlain’s took over the running of the factory in 1840. The slightly earlier Flight, Barr and Barr pieces have subtle differences in the decoration, and are painted with bell heather rather than the common ling heather depicted on the unmarked pieces. This service may well be the first to have been produced in the Heather pattern. However, The Duke of Sutherland ordered an identical pattern service for Dunrobin Castle in Sutherland. Dunrobin was remodelled in 1845 so the service there is likely to be later, ordered after the renovations in 1845. The service offered in this lot was supplied to John Campbell, 2nd Marquess of Breadalbane, prior to the visit to Taymouth Castle by Queen Victoria and her consort Prince Albert in 1842. It was the royal couple’s first visit to Scotland and they were guests of the Marquess from 7th - 10th September. The unmarked pieces are likely to have been an additional order to increase


25 the quantities of the service, ensuring that it would be extensive enough to cater for the large volume of guests. In the Worcester archive there is an invoice, dated 1842, for approximately 53 pieces, at the cost of £8-12-11. It was delivered to Taymouth Castle in January 1843. One can speculate that these pieces were perhaps acquired to make up for any losses and damages to the service that had been incurred during the revelery of the royal visit. The Worcester archive also contains a letter dated Sept 26th 1843, from the Worcester Porcelain Works to the Marquess of Breadalbane, respectfully asking him to pay his invoice, nine months after it had originally been received. Then, also on record at the archive, is a written instruction from the Marquess ordering the payment to Chamberlain and Co Worcester Porcelain for the additional items, dated 27th October 1843.

At 10, people in the park beginning to collect and the mist rising gracefully from the hills. The flags flying, birds singing and the hum of voices all round… From one o’clock we began to see people flocking into the Park, all the ladies with Tartan in scarfs or ribbons. 50 of Sir Neil Menzies tenants clad in their Tartan joined the rest in front of the house. Between v3 and 4 we began to expect the Queen and Prince and everything was put in readiness for Her reception. … Outriders and part of the escort preceded Her carriage and 6 other carriages followed… HM on reaching the door was welcomed by a simultaneous burst of cheering that echoed back again and again and anything so enthusiastic I never saw or heard. Lord Breadalbane at first stood in front of his splendid Highland Guard of 200 men and then having made a bow, bonnet in hand, he came round and assisted the Queen to alight and came up stairs to the drawing room where we were all waiting to receive her.

The 2nd Marquess, made huge efforts to make the royal visit memorable and a truly ‘Scottish’ experience for the couple. From arches of heather at the entrance of the castle and around the village, and an array of tartan dress on display, to finer details such as the use of the Heather pattern breakfast service, there was attention given to every aspect of the visit. Mrs Maule, a wife for the Liberal MP for Perthshire, was a guest at Taymouth Castle on the day of the Queen’s arrival. Below is an excerpt from her diary:

[National Records of Scotland reference: GD45/26/89, pp.2-5] The Marquess wore highland dress and Queen Victoria commented in her journal, “it seemed as if a great chieftain in olden feudal times was receiving his sovereign”. During the royal visit to Taymouth meals were provided for 730 people each day, including members of the royal party, guests, staff, pipers etc. While important Royal and invited guests would have had their lunch and evening meals served on and in silver, they would have had breakfast and refreshments from the Breadalbane Heather porcelain service being offered in this lot.

On 1st May 1851 The Great Exhibition was declared open by John Campbell, 2nd Marquess of Breadalbane, as Lord Steward. Below is an excerpt from Queen Victoria’s diary on the opening of the Great Exhibition: This concluded, the Procession of great length began, which was beautifully arranged, the prescribed order being exactly adhered to. The Nave was full of people, which had not been intended, and deafening cheers and waving of handkerchiefs continued the whole time of our long walk from one end of the building to the other. Every face was bright and smiling, and many had tears in their eyes. Many Frenchmen called out ‘Vive la Reine’. One could, of course, see nothing but what was high up in the Nave, and nothing in the Courts. The organs were but little heard, but the Military Band at one end had a very fine effect, playing the march from Athalie as we passed along. The old Duke of Wellington and Ld. Anglesey walked arm in arm, which was a touching sight. I saw many acquaintances amongst those present. We returned to our place and Albert told Ld. Breadalbane to declare the Exhibition to be opened, which he did in a loud voice saying ‘Her Majesty commands me to declare this Exhibition open,’ when there was a flourish of trumpets, followed by immense cheering. We then made our bow and left. Queen Victoria’s Journal, 1851 [taken from The Great Exhibition of 1851, compiled by C.H. Gibbs Smith (London: 1950). pages 16-18] By family repute the layered Bohemian glass in these three lots was a presentation gift to the Marquess to commemorate the occasion of his opening the Great Exhibition. It is likely that the glass was manufactured by an exhibitor participating in The Great Exhibition. 21 GROUP OF FOUR BOHEMIAN OVERLAY GLASS DECANTERS ENGRAVED WITH THE BREADALBANE CREST AND THE ORDER OF THE THISTLE, MID 19TH CENTURY comprising two large decanters, one with a stopper, and two smaller decanters, both with stoppers; all of baluster form with an elongated neck and broad collar, the stoppers of ogee outline, the clear ground body overlaid in opaque white and pale blue, cut through with shaped panels and oval printies, each piece with a central panel engraved with the Breadalbane crest and the Order of the Thistle, TOGETHER WITH two matching cylindrical glass beakers (6) largest decanter 36cm high , smaller decanters 25cm and 26cm high (including stoppers), beakers 8.8cm and 9cm high

£4,000-6,000

Note: These exquisite folding tables, executed in a variety of contrasting exotic veneers and luxury materials, were most likely supplied for John Campbell, 2nd Marquess of Breadalbane, prior to the 1842 visit by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The west wing of Taymouth Castle was exentisively re-modelled from 1837-1842 by James Gillespie Graham, with interior decoration supervised by the London firm J. G. Crace. Invoices from the firm from 1842 reveal that they did not supply any of the furniture for the refurbishment, with much of the work completed by the Edinburgh furniture company founded by William Trotter, often to the designs of A.W.N. Pugin. While the Banner Hall and Library lavishly adhered to the neo-Gothic taste, others spaces were designed with a less purist approach. These tables, while not truly Gothic in their style, are nonetheless evocative of an earlier style, with elements reminiscent of furniture from the late 17th century. They are designed for convenience; to be quickly set up and moved where needed, but the informal nature of their purpose is quickly overshadowed by the sumptuous execution and materials. The inclusion of the Marquess’s cypher, delicately inlaid into the centre of each table top, had one purpose; to impress and remind the user of the power and influence of the family within whose house they reside.

GEORGE WICKES (1698-1761) An often-overlooked maker of the early-mid 18th century, George Wickes can be regarded in the same echelons as his contemporary, Paul de Lamerie who is often considered the finest maker of the 18th century. Apprenticed at the age of 14, Wickes moved to London and merely a decade later registered his own punch with the London Assay Office in 1722. Fundamentally it is due to George Wickes that we can understand better the context of these craftsmen and the businesses they ran. Remarkably the trade ledgers survive from George Wickes’ company, and we can appreciate the effort and man power required to produce such impressive pieces. The trade ledgers reveal that over sixty plate workers were employed with other members employed all for their individual roles such as planishing, chasing, turning etc. We can also see the network within the craft which was why the guild is so important, with prominent makers such as Ebenezer Coker relied on for their specialities in his case, candlesticks. Moreover, the British Museum holds a Trade card in the Heal Collection (Heal,67.428) advertising the company as “George Wickes & Samuel Netherton, Goldsmiths and Jewellers, Silversmiths, to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales...Make & Sell all Sorts of Jewels, Watches, Plate & all other Curious Work in Gold & Silver. Variety of Falsestone Work in Aigrettes, Earrings, Buckles &c. All manner of Seals in Stone, Steel, & Silver, Engrav’d in the newest Taste’. It is clear to see the influence that George Wickes had and how high regard his contemporaries held him in. For a similar example of his cup and cover, look no further than the V & A. A cup and cover by Paul de Lamerie 1736-7. (Museum no. 819-1890, © Victoria and Albert Museum, London) mirror the elegant, Wicke’s 1722

commission, with the cup of upended bell form, the lower half decorated with applied scroll mouldings, and the leaf clasped handles clearly show how closely Wickes and that of de Lamerie were working. A hugely significant commission and perhaps the largest of Wicke’s is the service of 1745-47 made for James Fitzgerald, Viscount Leinster, subsequently Duke of Leinster, on his marriage to Emilia, daughter of the 2nd Duke of Richmond. Offered by Christies in 2012 lot 48, this service comprising of over 140 pieces achieved a price of £1,721,250 in 2012. By the 1730s royal commissions were becoming more consistent and led to his appointment as Goldsmith to Frederick, Prince of Wales, the then heir apparent to the British throne. This George I twin handled cup and cover made in George Wickes’ first year, exemplifies the emergent Rococo period. Inspired from the Continent and especially France, silverware becomes much more fluid and pieces seem to melt into one. The cup and cover is a typical example of early 18th century holloware, which were used as both centrepieces as well as presentation gifts. The cup and cover remains popular within this period unlike some domestic wares which with new porcelain innovations appear less so in silver. The style of Rococo is characterised by elegance and key features such as scroll foliate moulding and shell detail can be seen clearly with the applied decoration to the body and domed cover and shell motifs to the foot. The engraved inscription to the underside pertains to a latin phrase for friendship and emphasises how these cups were presented as gifts to be displayed. It is with this information that we can confidently place Wickes alongside his renowned contemporaries such as de Lamerie and Nicholas Sprimont and emphasise the importance of George Wickes to this period. His work can be seen in museums across the world and his legacy continues with the evolution of his work, now known as Garrards.

HALF-LENGTH PORTRAIT OF JOHN CAMPBELL, VISCOUNT GLENORCHY (1738-1771) BY THOMAS GAINSBOROUGH R.A. (BRITISH 1717-1788)

This recently identified portrait by Gainsborough is unusual. It is one of the few portraits dated by a receipt and the pendant portrait of his wife, is painted by another artist. Gainsborough’s portraits were famed for their likeness and in this particular portrait John, Lord Glenorchy, the heir of the Earl of Breadalbane, is shown as a slight, sickly figure. His elder brother, George, had died at the age of twelve in 1744 and tragically, in November 1771, Breadalbane’s second son, John, was to predecease him at the age of 33. In September 1761 John had married Wilhelmina Maxwell who later in life was to establish a number of dissenting chapels in Scotland and in south-west England. According to the Bath newspapers Lord and Lady Glenorchy travelled to Bath—no doubt to take the waters—in April 1762 and five months later Lord Glenorchy returned to the City without his wife. It must have been at the time of this second visit that Breadalbane commissioned Gainsborough to paint his son’s portrait. According to the Glenorchys’ friend Lord Royston, who was to sit to Gainsborough in May, the couple arrived in Bath on 9 April 1763, no doubt anxious to see the completed portrait. Breadalbane’s payment of £21.7s is recorded in a receipt dated 13 April 1763. It was customary for artists to be paid half the fee when the portrait was commissioned and the final payment was made once the portrait was finished. The receipt accords with the artist’s standard charge of £42 for a half-length portrait and the additional charge of 7s covered the cost of a packing case. Curiously, at the time Lord Glenorchy was sitting to Gainsborough in Bath, in London his wife was sitting for a pendant portrait by the Scottish painter and pastellist Katherine Read. A receipt for this canvas dated 22 April 1763 records the larger payment of £24.4s for the portrait which is presently lent to Dundee Museum and Art Gallery. There are very few instances of pendant portraits being commissioned from different artists. The portrait presently offered by Lyon & Turnbull was not the Glenorchys only connection with Gainsborough. In 1766, again for health reasons, Lady Glenorchy returned to Bath and sat to Gainsborough for a head-and-shoulders portrait in which she wears an elaborate brocaded green silk robe à la française. This portrait is now in a British private collection. No doubt seeking warmer climes again to improve their fragile health, later that year the couple travelled to the Continent arriving in Rome in November where they stayed until the summer of 1767.

From June 1760 Gainsborough rented a house belonging to the Duke of Kingston that faced the west end of Bath Abbey. This prime location served him well and he quickly became an established part of the community. His ‘shew’ room, filled with portraits both completed and half finished, became one of the sights of the city; an added attraction for the ever-changing stream of tourists. Over the next three years Gainsborough received so many commissions that he suffered a serious breakdown in his health during the autumn of 1763 and his condition was considered grave enough for his death to be announced in the local newspapers. He had worked extraordinarily hard during the previous three years, developing his style from the provincial charm of his Suffolk portraits and by combining his innate draughtsmanship and honing his perfect colour harmonies he achieved his ambition to become an artist of national significance. His popularity grew exponentially and his appointments book, that must have included dates for Glenorchy’s and Royston’s sittings, was overflowing. Glenorchy wears clothes that are the height of fashion. His ailede-pigeon bag-wig is set off by a fine worsted green suit with gold-covered buttons and gold-thread embroidery worked in a scroll design along the garment edges that is repeated on the cuffs and pocket flaps. The green suit is offset by a generous swag of red drapery in the background and, on the right, the appropriate grandeur of the sitter’s surroundings is suggested by a large column base. The portrait was recently cleaned to great effect and it shows the extraordinary dexterity in the artist’s handling of paint. Details such as the lace cuffs and the gloved right hand perfectly represent the comparative textures of linen and kidskin and demonstrate a relaxed fluency and confidence that is rare in any artist’s work. Compositionally the portrait is very close to another recently discovered portrait of James Edward Colleton (Belsey 199). With subtleties of stance and expression Gainsborough shows the divergent characters of the two sitters. Colleton, standing in a domestic interior, arrogantly confronts the beholder; his right arm held akimbo suggests the nervous irritation of being disturbed from reading a book. Glenorchy is more relaxed. His right hand is tucked into his waistcoat pocket and his gloved left hand rests on the hilt of a ceremonial sword. In contrast he has an expression of unruffled aristocratic sensibility. The canvas is paired with a portrait of the sitter’s wife by Katherine Read. This painting was recorded in Christie Manson & Woods 1853 Inventory of Taymouth Castle as hanging in the Breakfast Room

While much has been said of the renovations and redecoration of the State and principal rooms of Taymouth Castle in preparation for the Royal visit in 1842, some of the furniture that predated the transformation would have been repurposed and used in various other locations in the house. Once part of a larger suite, most likely dating to the earlier William Adam designed house of the 18th century, these chairs are fine examples of Georgian seat furniture. The side chairs are ample in proportion and functionally considered, while the library armchair has been embellished with delightful carved hand terminals marked with flowerheads. As times and tastes changed, and in particular after Taymouth’s 19th century metamorphosis, the suite would have moved from public rooms to those intended for private use. Showing signs of repair, alteration, and reupholstery that one would expect to see after over two hundred and fifty years of use, the suite has remained in the family directly to the present day. Inherited and passed down, after their residence at Taymouth Castle, these particular chairs from the original Georgian suite were used to furnish Wootton House, Bedfordshire, a red brick William and Mary period country house, home from 1940 to Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. Thomas George Breadalbane Morgan-Grenville.

CORNELIS DROOCHSLOOT was a son of Joost Cornelisz Droochsloot (1586 – 1666), the prolific Utrecht painter of village scenes, landscapes, genre pictures, moral allegories and biblical stories. The present charming and well preserved pair by Cornelis Droochsloot show several groups of children engrossed in different kind of playing. On the square of a village we see two boys blowing a bladder as if it is a balloon, an elegantly dressed young fellow is running with a hoop, two boys are walking on stilts and in the centre a group is parading as young soldiers of a civic guard. Near the village pump three youngsters are bowling. The second painting shows two girls on hobby horses, three lads are jumping leapfrog, while others play different games while one is playing a little violin. The joyful playing takes place near a moat, a castle beyond at the right. Typical of Cornelis Droochsloot´s imagery is the scant use of shadow, his figures and architecture cast very little shadow on their surroundings. As in the works of his father, the architecture in the present paintings is used to provide scale and structure to the suggested space. The buildings function as coulisses on a stage of a play. The figures of the young people show, in the way they are executed, the influence of Esaias van de Velde, who died in 1630. On stylistic grounds we might assume these are relatively early works executed before 1660. We are grateful to Drs Luuk Pijl who has confirmed the attribution to Cornelis Droochsloot on the basis of photographs.

Note: Although earlier English Apostle spoons do survive this Edward IV example is a documentary part of the evolution of one of the most important aspects of British silver, the hallmark. Although hallmarks have been struck since circa 1300 it is not until the application of an annual changing date letter in 1478 that the recognisable format of maker and date were established. The date letter ‘A’ stuck to this piece is therefore the first example of this now centuries old, tradition being applied and the start of what would become a cornerstone of the oldest, continual and still virtually unchanged form of consumer protection in the world. It is easy to see why this spoon was not only collected but adorned by Gavin Campbell 1st Marquess and 7th Earl of Breadalbane and not just that but saved by the family from the sales of his collection in 1926 and 1935.

As with the example under discussion, it is a particularly fine example showing the highest quality of decoration in the floral sprays and borders, with the detail much finer than more often seen. The portrait also shows far more attention to detail than normal, and, while it is copying the recognisable portrait used in many forms of Jacobite art, the use of such a wide palette of colours is unusual. The portrait is a direct copy of one of the most prolifically produced and recognisable engravings of Prince Charles completed by Sir Robert Strange, an engraver from Edinburgh and member of Prince Charles’s Lifeguards regiment, during the ‘45. Sir Robert’s connection to the cause was close and he is known to have had at least two personal meetings with the Prince in Inverness just before Culloden to create the engraved

The symbolic drowning of Hanoverian Kings on coins set into punch ladles or the passing of glasses over the punch bowl to symbolise the ‘King over the water’ would all have been well-understood in 18th-century society. To carry out these acts using such a fine and bold Jacobite punch bowl would have made what was already a significant act even more important to those involved. Indeed the kudos of owning such an exotic, fashionable and fine piece of porcelain suggests that a high-status Jacobite supporter would have owned this bowl.

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.

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.

(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.

(c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of 20% of Import Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable.

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.
