4 A.W.N. PUGIN (1812-1852) (ATTRIBUTED DESIGNER), POSSIBLY FOR GILLOWS GROUP OF SIX SIDE CHAIRS, CIRCA 1860 oak, with close-nailed leather upholstery, the top rail carvings representing fruiting vines; flowering foliage; thistles; convolvulus; ivy; flowering currants (6) 50cm wide, 88.5cm high, 49cm deep Provenance: Temple Three Paper Buildings, London Note: The Paper Buildings comprise a set of barrister’s chambers situated within the Inner Temple area in London. Initially built in 1609, the name refers to the construction materials used in the buildings, a combination of timer, lath and plaster, known as ‘paperwork’. In 1819 Robert Smirke was surveyor of the buildings; his only work in London that was executed in the Gothic Revival style, notable rooms include the Library and the Great Hall. However, the buildings’ history was plagued by a number of fires which destroyed large portions of Smirke’s work. The Library and Great Hall were rebuilt by Smirke’s brother Sydney in 1870, very much in the Gothic aesthetic; today the paper buildings resemble a far more modern aesthetic, with elements of neo-classical architecture after further renovations in the 1950s. The present set of six chairs, originally with green leather upholstery, certainly bear similarities with much of the seating produced for the Palace of Westminster, namely the chamfered square legs with recessed H-stretchers, completed in oak. The chairs each bear a distinct carving along the top rail and while Pugin’s designs were generally dominated by plain and solid construction, designs for the Palace of Westminster often featured more elaborate embellishments and intricately carved details. In 2006, a pair of X-frame side chairs, attributed to Pugin for the Palace of Westminster, feature similar carvings of oak leaves and acorns; a dining chair for the Speaker’s House, on display in The Metropolitan Museum in New York, also displays similarly carved flowering foliage (accession 2015.638). A chair matching the design of the present lot, carved with holly on the top rail with original green leather upholstery, still resides at the Three Paper Buildings Barristers in London today.

66 HERBERT HORNE (1864-1916) FOR THE CENTURY GUILD ‘PRAISE OF THE SOUL’, RARE FABRIC PANEL, CIRCA 1884 block-printed velveteen, manufactured by Simpson & Godlee, Swinton, Manchester, later framed panel 112cm x 80cm Literature: Livingstone, K. et al., C.F.A. Voysey: Arts and Crafts Designer, V&A Publishing, London, 2016, p. 65, pl. 79 illus. Parry, L. British Textiles from 1850 to 1900 V&A 1993, pl.103 illus.
£1,000-1,500 Note: Herbert Horne was a writer, architect, designer and member of the Century Guild. He was apprenticed to Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo in 1883 and the two were business partners from 1885 to 1890. The Century Guild was established in 1883 by A. H. Mackmurdo and Selwyn Image with several others, including Horne. This design is one of the most recognisable designs produced by the Century Guild. Known as ‘Angel with Trumpet’ or ‘Praise of the Soul’ it was exhibited at a number of exhibitions for the Century Guild. Not all contemporary critics were impressed, one reviewer of the 1897 Manchester Royal Jubilee exhibition in the Journal of Decorative Art described it as ‘at the best a very weak effort’. Nevertheless, it is now seen as exemplifying the Guild’s swirling designs that preempted the Art Nouveau era. As well as velveteen it was also produced as printed cotton. The two differ in one detail; in the cotton, the angel’s halo contains a cross (usually signifying Jesus Christ), in the present velveteen example it has a dot, which may suggest that Horne amended the design and that the velveteen was produced after the cotton.

73 MORRIS & COMPANY (MAKER), HERBERT HORNE (1864-1916) (ATTRIBUTED DESIGNER) FOR THE CENTURY GUILD ARTS & CRAFTS RUG, CIRCA 1884 hand-woven wool, with characteristic knotted fringe 74cm x 123cm (88cm x 123cm including knotted fringe) Literature: Parry, L., Cathers D., et al., Arts and Crafts Rugs for Craftsman Interiors, New York and London, 2010, cat. no. 8, where a rug of the same pattern is illustrated.
£2,000-3,000
In 1875, MORRIS & CO. began large-scale production of floor coverings, rugs and carpets, designed to complement an ever-popular ‘Morris’ aesthetic in Victorian Britain. A triumph in craftsmanship on an impressive scale, these designs were hailed as some of the finest hand-knotted carpets ever produced in Britain at the time. Morris’ designs were largely inspired by his love of Eastern carpets from Persia, Turkey and China, of which he amassed a great deal and used to furnish his own homes, including Red House. Featuring an array of stylised plants and flowers, carefully woven into fields of vibrant colours, the carpets were hugely popular but very expensive to the average customer. As a result, the firm began to manufacture a range of smaller and less costly alternatives to an eager market. Flowerpots were often a feature of these designs, with trailing flowers stemming out from the centre against a cream ground, and a dark blue border. These smaller rugs were frequently used as wall hangings and occasionally placed as bedside rugs in guest bedrooms. In 1884, Morris & Co. also manufactured several designs for The Century Guild; a group of artists associated with the Arts & Crafts movement, who sought to preserve the integrity of the artistic trade and its craftsmen. These rugs were sold in the Morris & Co. shop and advertised in the Guild’s magazine Hobby Horse. Though Morris never had a hand in designing these, they look back to his earlier Hammersmith pieces, featuring simple patterns of flowers and flowerpots. This rug is thought to have been designed by Herbert Horne, one of the founding members of the Guild, alongside A. H. Mackmurdo and Selwyn Image. Linda Parry comments that of ‘the three designers associated with the Guild it is stylistically closest to the work of Herbert Horne’.

£1,500-2,000
ELENA POLENOVA was an accomplished, painter, illustrator and designer, having initially taken an interest in drawing from her mother, herself an amateur artist and children’s author. During her early career she was introduced to Savva Mamontov, a wealthy businessman and major patron of the arts. He had fostered a community of artists, musicians and designers on his estate and encouraged them to study traditional Russian culture as inspiration for their creative output. Elena immersed herself in this flourishing environment and by 1885 she had taken over management of the furniture workshops, a pivotal point in her career.
Under her leadership, students at the Abramtsevo workshop enjoyed widespread critical acclaim across the globe; a table similar to the present lot was shown in the Russian Pavilion during the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition. Elena is thought to have produced over 100 furniture designs during her time at the workshops and the influence from traditional Russian crafts is clear; boldly carved forms and patterns are sensitively reworked with her own intention of creating a captivating style that both striking and functional.

£600-800
Note: Located on Holy Island, near Berwick-Upon Tweed, Lindisfarne Castle was initially built as a fort in 1550, using materials from the island’s priory which was abandoned in 1537. Over the next three hundred years, the fort was transformed into a military station, occupied by soldiers who kept watch over the harbour for any potential attacks. In 1901, on a trip to Northumberland to explore the area, the remains of the fort were discovered by publishing magnate Edward Hudson, owner of Country Life Magazine. He tasked his friend and architect Edwin Lutyens to redesign and refurbish the Castle into an elegant holiday home in the Arts & Crafts style. The work was completed in 1912 and ranged from external work, such as the beautifully cobbled ramp, to major structural interior work: vaulted ceilings, arches, the use of different levels linked by steps and carefully installed fireplaces and cupboards. Throughout the Castle, Lutyens used a variety of materials, including brick, stone, slate and wood to create simple forms and rustic textures that drew upon the castle’s origins, whilst remaining a warm and homely environment for Hudson. In 1911, Lutyens instructed Gertrude Jekyll to design the walled garden, located on the site of a vegetable plot which provided food to soldiers living in the fort some time ago. The present two lots are an initial survey of the castle in 1902 before plans were drawn up for its renovation.

Note: Harold Stabler initially trained in woodwork and stone-carving before being appointed Head of Metalwork at the Keswick School of Industrial Arts in 1898. After a short time there and later at Liverpool University, he moved to London in 1907 where he was Head of the John Cass Institute’s Art School until 1937. Stabler worked with a number of materials, including enamels, metalwork, glass and ceramics, producing designs for mass-production which had a notable influence on the development of modern English design of the 1920s and 30s. He exhibited extensively at The Art Worker’s Guild and in 1936 he was one of the first to be appointed a Designer for Industry by the Royal Society of Arts. A relative of W. A. S. Benson, Richard Llewellyn Benson Rathbone was also the cousin of Harold Rathbone, Head of the Della Robbia Pottery in Birkenhead. He initially trained in metalwork with Benson, before setting up his own workshop in 1908. In keeping with the Arts & Crafts aesthetic, Rathbone’s work proved popular and he is known to have produced metalwork designs for Mackmurdo, Heywood Summner and C.F.A. Voysey. Rathbone also taught metalwork classes at Liverpool University, where he was later joined by Harold Stabler in 1903. By 1905 he moved to London to take a position as Head of the Art School at the John Cass Institute.

Note: Olive Cambridge Harbutt was an artist and sculptor who originated from Bath. Her father William was credited for the invention of plasticine in 1895. Her mother was an accomplished portrait miniaturist who was commissioned by Queen Victoria to produce portraits of herself and the late Prince Albert. Unsurprisingly, Olive took great interest in the arts from a young age and her father in particular encouraged her to be expressive when sculpting. Here, a focus on swirling linear forms in bold relief help achieve an extraordinary sense of energy and movement, as was characteristic of her work.

In July 1900 she married Charles Sydney Spooner, architect, teacher and art metalwork designer. They worked together on many projects as co-designers, including St Christopher’s Church, Haslemere, Surrey (1902-4) where Minnie painted the large-scale reredos. Their close friends included C F A Voysey, and Spooner had professional connections with Henry Wilson and Fred Rowntree amongst others. He exhibited regularly with the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society and the Art Workers Guild.

GRECIAN REVIVAL SIDE CABINET, CIRCA 1870-75 ebonised wood with parcel-gilt and polychrome painted decorations, bears black printed depository label verso GREEN & EDWARDS LTD.,/Depositories, Sailsbury Road, N.W./... 188cm wide, 243cm high, 51cm deep Literature: en-Doesschate Chu P., Max Donnelly M., Montana, A., Veldink S. Daniel Cottier: Designer, Decorator, Dealer, Paul Mellon Centre 2021, p.64, pl.51 near identical example illustrated. Cooper, J. Victorian and Edwardian Furniture & Interiors, London, 1987, p.291, pl.291 Coleman B., The Best of British Arts & Crafts, Atglen, PA, 2004, p.12 Note: The firm of Cottier & Co. was founded by the artist, designer, decorator and art dealer Daniel Cottier (1838-1891). Cottier had trained as a coach painter in Glasgow but by the 1860s was working as a glass designer in London where he heard lectures given by the critic John Ruskin and received drawing lessons from the artist Ford Madox Brown. Returning to Scotland he eventually opened his own business in 1864, which would grow to become a highly successful international organisation with branches in London, New York, Sydney and Melbourne. Cottier was interested in glass, furniture, ceramic manufacture, and interior design. In the United States he is seen as a ‘harbinger of aestheticism….and a profound influence on American decoration’. A key exponent of the aesthetic movement, Cottier developed a very original and highly distinctive style, employing to great effect delicately painted surface decoration often on gold or ebonised ground providing bold contrast. His designs frequently drew on the prevailing Japanese aesthetic associated with the aesthetic movement but also, as in the current lot, on other ancient sources.

During the 1840s Bell partnered with Henry Cole to produce a number of designs for his company Felix Summerly. It was around this time that Bell also collaborated with several companies like Minton to recreate his sculptures in Parian ware. These sculptures were immensely popular in the late 19th century, conjuring up notions of the exclusive Grand Tour and representing a superior knowledge of Rome and Classical Antiquities. Minton are thought to have produced around 500 figures between 1845 and 1910, with Bell’s Dorothea proving a particularly popular example.

The original plaster for one of the figures, and design drawings for the stove, are in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no. 40291853). Alfred Stevens, active as a sculptor, designer, and painter, rejected traditional distinctions between fine art and design. As chief designer for Hoole & Co., he produced award-winning designs for metalwork, maiolica, terracotta ornaments and chimneypieces. Decorations for the dining-room at Dorchester House, London, and the monument to the Duke of Wellington for St Paul’s Cathedral, London are amongst his most celebrated works.

GEORGE WALTON was born in Glasgow on 3 June 1867, the youngest of twelve children. The painter, Edward Arthur Walton, born in 1860, was his elder brother and the flower painter, Constance Walton, his sister. His father died in 1873 leaving the family in reduced circumstances and Walton had to leave school aged thirteen to become a clerk with the British Linen Bank, but while working there he also studied at Glasgow School of Art (as the School of Design had become in 1869). In 1888 Miss Catherine Cranston commissioned Walton to re-design the interiors of the tea rooms at 114 Argyle Street, Glasgow. Walton gave up banking and opened showrooms entitled George Walton & Co, Ecclesiastical and House Decorators, at 152 Wellington Street. The Walton firm quickly expanded into woodwork, furniture making and stained glass. In 1896 Walton received a further commission from Miss Cranston to decorate the Buchanan Street premises. His collaborator was C. R. Mackintosh, for whom Walton made some early pieces of furniture. In 1897 Walton moved to London and, as well as retaining his Glasgow showroom, opened a branch in York. This wardrobe demonstrated all of the characteristics of the furniture produced for Elm Bank, York by Walton & Co. in 1898 for Sydney Leetham. The furniture is inlaid with bold geometric chevron banding, a type of decoration that had been revived and popularised by George Jack at Morris & Co., however, the use of this technique at Elm Bank was altogether bolder and more expansive. This bedroom suite also demonstrates stained glass detailing derived from plant forms, with metal and wood also inset, relating to techniques being produced by Charles Rennie Mackintosh at the same time.

322 TALWIN MORRIS (1865-1911) TWO RARE GLASGOW SCHOOL PANELS, CIRCA 1893 brass with repoussé decoration, later framed (2) each panel 28cm x 12.5cm Provenance: Walter W. Blackie, Glasgow Note: After spending part of his early career working as an art editor in London, Talwin Morris took up a post as Arts Manager for Glasgow publisher Blackie & Son in 1898, a position he held until his death in 1911. He quickly became acquainted with Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the circle of artists associated with Blackie and the Glasgow School of Art, which had a significant influence on his work. Perhaps best known for his book designs, Morris also produced pieces of furniture, textiles and metalwork, which were incorporated into many of his decorative schemes, including his own home at Dunglass Castle and the refurbishment of W.W. Blackie’s Printing Works where these panels formed part of an entrance screen. The panels demonstrate the key characteristics of the ‘Glasgow Style’, with their heavily stylised linear plant forms and ‘Glasgow’ roses.

323 GEORGE HENRY WALTON (1867–1933) FOR MISS CRANSTON’S BUCHANAN STREET TEAROOMS, GLASGOW RARE EBONISED AND PAINTED BEECH DINING CHAIR, CIRCA 1896 ebonised beech with polychrome painted decoration, caned seat and back panels 49cm wide,115cm high, 48cm deep Provenance: T. & R. Annan & Sons Ltd., Glasgow Literature: Billcliffe, Roger; Charles Rennie Mackintosh, The Complete Furniture etc. pub. The Lutterworth Press, 1978, illus. 1896G. Moon, Karen ‘George Walton’, White Cockade 1993, p.53, pl. 63 Note: This chair was made for Miss Cranston’s new tearoom in Buchanan Street in Glasgow in 1896. This scarce chair, with its tall, curved back echoing the stencilled wall decoration and the hand-painted floral sprigs following the colour scheme of the walls. The tall vertical form of the chair continues the ‘Glasgow Style’ aesthetic whilst the Regency inspiration which the design subverts is still evident, particularly on the matching armchairs with their lower backs. Other versions of this chair were used by Walton in schemes throughout his career, but the Buchanan Street chairs are marked out by their painted decoration.

325 CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (1868-1928) AND LEOPOLD BAUER (1872-1938) MEISTER DER INNEN KUNST: HAUS ELNES KUNST FREUNDES II, 1901 published by Alexander Koch, Darmstadt, to include SIX FRAMED DESIGN PRINTS, each taken from the original album by Mackintosh, each print approx. 30.5 x 52cm; and PAGE 1 of the same album; together with FOUR PAGES FORM THE ALBUM BY BAUER, including the title page, pages 1 and 2 and one page with two designs, within an associated portfolio (6) Note: A competition to design a house for a connoisseur of the arts was announced in the December 1900 issue of ‘Zeitschrift für Innendekoration’, published by Alexander Koch. It seems reasonable to assume that Mackintosh would have heard about the competition on his visit to Vienna at the end of 1900, where it would almost certainly have been a topic of discussion amongst the architects and designers he met at the Secession, especially as J.M. Olbrich, who had become a good friend, was to be one of the judges. The closing date was 25th March 1901, and the adjudication was set for 16th and 17th May 1901, at Darmstadt. Mackintosh’s entry was disqualified initially because he did not submit the required number of interior perspectives; but, after preparing these, he was awarded a prize of 600 marks and the drawings were reproduced in one of three folios of competition drawings issued in 1902 under the title ‘Meister der Innenkunst’. No first prize was awarded, the prize money being divided between more than sixteen competitors. The second prize was given to M.H. Baillie Scott, and the third was shared by Leopold Bauer and Oskar Marmorek of Vienna and Paul Zeroch of Coblenz.

Skilfully executed, with bright pastel colours and expressive stitching, MacBeth’s captivating pieces were a regular feature in The Studio, well-received and much admired. In 1908, MacBeth succeeded Jessie Newbery as Head of the Needlework & Embroidery Department at the Glasgow School of Art; she also taught bookbinding and ceramic decoration in the years following. During this time MacBeth published a number of books on embroidery; together with Margaret Swanson, she co-wrote ‘Educational Needlecraft’ a textbook which proved hugely influential both in the UK and Internationally.

128cm high, 70cm diameter approx.
figure 111cm high, including plinth 139cm high
£400-600
Note: Regarded as amongst Sir Robert Lorimer’s most innovative architectural designs, St Peter’s, Morningside was built in two stages from 1906-7, with the nave completed from 1928-9. The church was designed by Lorimer in an Italianate style and includes stained glass by Morris and Gertrude A. Meredith Williams, Nina Millar Davidson, and Pierre Fourmaintraux, metalwork by Thomas Haddon and a fine Arts & Crafts lead font by G. P Bankart. On the exterior are carved stone sculptures by Joseph Hayes including The Crucifixion with Our Lady and St. John of around 1907. The current lot is the maquette for the figure of St. John. A polychrome carved wood sculpture in the apse of around 1908 uses the same figure. Joseph Hayes worked on several projects with Lorimer from around 1900, including the management of the carving for the Thistle Chapel in St. Giles’ Cathedral, Edinburgh, built from 1909-1911.

347 SIR ROBERT LORIMER (1864-1929) (ATTRIBUTED DESIGNER) FOR WHYTOCK & REID, EDINBURGH CABINET ON STAND, CIRCA 1920 mahogany, burr walnut, glass, painted and gilded wood 123cm wide, 137cm high, 54cm deep Provenance: Paul Reeves, London Kirkton House, Angus Literature: Savage, Peter, ‘Lorimer and the Edinburgh Craft Designers’, Steve Savage 1980, p. 89, plate 175
£2,000-3,000
Note: Although Lorimer had used the Edinburgh cabinet makers Whytock & Reid in the 19th century, from around 1900 they increasingly became his favoured cabinetmakers because of their skill in interpreting his design sketches and their high-quality workmanship. Lorimer did not hold copyright over his work, and many examples of what may have started as his designs became Whytock & Reid pieces which, as modified for other customers, became examples of the firms’ look. This fine display cabinet, probably a one-off commission, is designed in the Chinese taste, an aesthetic Lorimer favoured in the latter part of his career and employed in commissions such as Glencruitten House, near Oban, in 1927. The cabinet demonstrates all the characteristic features of his output including high quality inlaid cabinetmaking using fine timbers, with low relief carved and moulded detail.

Provenance: The cabinet was made for Gimson’s distant cousin Kingsley Gimson in 1916. The design is 1941.222.39, dated 25 July 1916, to be made in mahogany inlaid with holly & ebony. Literature: Carruthers A., Greensted M., Roscoe B. Ernest Gimson: Arts & Crafts Designer and Architect, Yale 2019, p.251, pl. 234 where this cabinet is illustrated Note: Copies of letters held at The Wilson, Cheltenham relate to this piece. The workshop Job Book states the cabinet took over 1000 hours to make (around 20 weeks) in 1916-17. It was made by Ernest Smith with some assistance from Harry Davoll, under the supervision of Peter Waals. The price charged was £85.10s, less than the cost of £88.10s given in the Job Book (1941.225.121, p.31). The piece is typical of Gimson’s later work, based on his early designs but made much more elaborate by the addition of the shaped cornice. In one of his letters, Gimson revealed that he had received an order for a similar piece as a result of this example, but that it would not be a repeat as he had ‘used up the last veneers of a famous tree’.

Margaret Wittgenstein (1882-1958) married the American Jerome Stonborough (18731938) in Vienna on 7 January 1905. For their wedding and their subsequent move to Berlin, Karl Wittgenstein (1847-1913), the bride’s father, commissioned the Wiener Werkstätte to furnish the couple’s Berlin apartment (In den Zelten 21a). Wittgenstein was a German-born Austrian steel tycoon and, at the time, one of the richest men in the world. His sons were the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and the pianist Paul Wittgenstein and he was also a major patron of the Vienna Secession. In the same year, he commissioned Klimt to paint Margaret’s portrait, which today hangs in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich. Koloman Moser and Josef Hoffmann supplied the interior designs for the apartment, including all ancillary facilities such as the kitchen and the servant’s quarters. Margaret, writing to her mother in Vienna on 18 April 1905 remarked that “Moser who was absolutely charming again - and I have for the last three days been arranging furniture, hanging pictures and painting frames. Now the apartment is in good shape, at least superficially, and Jerome and I are delighted and sing yours and the Wiener Werkstätte’s praises every day.” The current lot, a pair of coal boxes, were said to have stood in the servant’s quarters. They are striking, with their stepped facades in bas relief adding drama to the restrained form. This feature is found in other furniture designed by Hoffmann for the apartment including chairs and a matching wardrobe. In keeping with other related pieces, the boxes were highlighted with a coloured band in grey or blue (now overpainted).

Heavily regarded as one of the leading designers of the Jugendstil movement, RICHARD RIEMERSCHMIDT initially trained as a painter before turning his attention to furniture and architecture in 1895. Inspired by the ideology of the Arts & Crafts movement, he produced a number of designs for furniture, textiles, ceramics and glass using simple forms and materials to create pieces that very much conveyed a functional aesthetic. In 1897 Riemerschmidt was co-founder of the Deutsche Werkstãtten für Kunst und Handwerk and the Deutscher Werkbund in 1907, and pioneered the machine production of artistically designed wooden furniture. He championed low-cost material, and simple yet solid craftsmanship to advocate affordable design for everyday living.

397 WILHELM SCHMIDT (1845-1938) (ATTRIBUTED MAKER) AND JOSEPH ANTON HODEL (18731930) RARE ART NOUVEAU OPAL CAMEO PENDANT, CIRCA 1900 carved opal matrix, with openwork silver metal mount, stamped to rear HODEL, within fitted case 5.2cm tall, 2.8cm across
£6,000-8,000
WILHELM SCHMIDT developed an innovative technique of carving opal; an incredibly difficult task given the delicate nature of the material. Instead of carving the whole piece from the precious stone, he used a rough opal and opted to carve the matrix with a very thin layer of precious opal overlaying it. The result is a stunning contrast of layered opals, giving his designs a sense of depth and relief. Schmidt worked for renowned jewellers such as John Brogden, Child & Child and Guilliano. Examples of his work are now housed in museum collections such as the British Museum and the Natural History Museum in London. The silver frame supporting the central opal has been worked by Joseph Anton Hodel, a leading silversmith and jeweller of the Arts & Crafts period. He initially trained in Vienna and Paris, before moving to London in 1900. In the years following he worked for the Bromsgrove Guild and taught metalwork in 1908 at the School of Art in Liverpool.

AGATHON LÉONARD is best remembered as the French Art Nouveau sculptor responsible for creating a series of works inspired by the dancer Loïe Fuller. First produced for Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres in 1899 and exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900, they were then executed in bronze at the Süsse Frères foundry, as a result of their popularity. This present bust possesses the same grace as the dancers, with the elegant flowing lines and arabesques of the hair and the beautiful serenity of the pose. Between 1896 and 1914 he regularly exhibited at the Salon de la société nationale des beaux-arts. A list of these works including a number of marble busts is provided in Ingelore Böstge’s Agathon Léonard Le Geste Art Nouveau, Paris, 2003, pp 120-122. Two of these are entitled Flore des Champs - one in 1905 model number 1818 and the other in 1907 model number 2001. This seems a plausible title for the present lot as the girl has daisies and poppies in her hair, together with ears of corn. Born in Belgium, Agathon Léonard was naturalised French in 1887 and in 1900 he was awarded the chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur, the highest order of merit in France.

French artist and weaver JEAN LURÇAT is widely credited for the revival of contemporary tapestry. Studying in Paris, he was very familiar with the Cubism and Expressionism movements, becoming enmeshed in the circles of Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Henri Matisse. His earliest work incorporated abstracted forms in a colourful palette, clearly derived from his contemporaries. Though he initially worked as a painter, Lurçat became intrigued by tapestry after learning more its history, and downfall as an authentic art form. During the Renaissance, many artworks by painters such as Raphael were re-created as tapestries. As a result, traditional weaving techniques were applied in ways which set out to copy painterly effects of colouring and shading. Lurçat firmly believed that tapestry and paintings were two separate entities, distinguished by the fact that a tapestry is often custom made for the wall on which it is displayed, and thereby works in unison with the surrounding architecture to transform the space it inhabits. He set out to create original and striking compositions; inspired by medieval bestiaries, his work often features mythical beasts and creatures that fill the space entirely. As in the present lot, the central animal dominates and is captured in the midst of movement: entwined with a vivid mass of leafy foliage, creating an incredibly dynamic work. By embracing the origins of tapestry, adopting bold colour palettes and unique energetic compositions, Lurçat helped restore the integrity of a lost art form and re-positioned it as a respected and valued medium of contemporary art.

447 OTTO LINDIG joined the Bauhaus as a sculptor in 1919 and in 1920 was apprenticed under Gerhard Marcks at the school’s Dornburg premises. As the school moved closer towards a philosophy of uniting Art & Technology, Lindig became increasingly interested in machine-based production methods and in 1924 he was responsible for the technical management of the pottery. Simple, organic forms dominated his work, as well as a careful selection of glazes in an effort to further emphasise the sculptural quality of the design. A testament to Lindig’s popularity, the Karlsruhe factory contacted Lindig for permissions to use some of his Bauhaus designs as he owned their copyrights. The original designs came into production at Karlsruhe in 1929, some of them produced until 1962.

£800-1,200
SERGE CHERMAYEFF had a long and varied career. He was initially an interior designer but later became an architect and academic. Born in Grozny, Chechnya, he and his parents moved to England when he was young. He was educated at Peterborough Lodge Preparatory School, the Royal Drawing Society School and at Harrow, before his family lost their money during the Russian Revolution. In 1928, along with the French designer Paul Follot in the Paris branch, became director of Waring & Gillow’s ‘Modern Art Studio’. Together they organised an Exhibition of Modern Design from 1928-9, which gave the British public access to luxurious Paris furnishings and an introduction to the French Modern style. Chermayeff was widely travelled and “enthusiastically pro-Modern”. His use of geometric, sometimes asymmetric forms and abstract decoration is illustrative of the influence of firms like Primavera in Paris and avante-garde designers like Pierre Chareau. Despite the lack of formal qualifications Chermayeff established his own architectural practice in 1930 and left Waring & Gillow in 1931. After 1933 Chermayeff executed several commissions with the German architect Erich Mendelsohn, the best-known of which is an icon of the International Style, the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea. He emigrated to the United States in 1940 where he became an academic.

ALFREDO AVELLA was born in Cava de Tirreni in Italy in 1924. He began his career as a painter, studying under Hugh Adam Crawford at the Glasgow School of Art. During this time his work was admired by J. D. Fergusson, who encouraged him to exhibit at The McLellan Galleries in 1956, alongside a number of aspiring young artists known collectively as The New Scottish Group. Years later, Avella returned to the School of Art to study Stained Glass, graduating in 1965. An accomplished stained-glass artist and painter, Avella exhibited widely and undertook a number of private commissions throughout his life, predominantly for churches across Edinburgh and Glasgow. He was made an associate of the British Society of Master Glass Painters in 1966 and became a full-time lecturer for the Glasgow School of Art’s Stained Glass and Murals department from 1969-1982.

£2,000-3,000 RUPERT WILLIAMSON, the acclaimed designer-craftsman, had little interest in wood as a student in the 1960s. His early pieces were made of fibreglass, acrylic and foam.

His interest in colour contrast and the tension between straight and curved lines is a primary feature of his work.

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. OUR 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.
22.1
(a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. 3. WITHDRAWAL Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw. 4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS (a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological
reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.
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.
(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.
(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.
(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
(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.

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

Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we Reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. Bids must be expressed in the currency of the saleroom. The Auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the Reserve. If You make a written bid on a Lot which does not have a Reserve and there is no higher bid than Yours, we will bid on Your behalf at around 50% of the lower Estimate or, if lower, the amount of Your bid.
responsible for any error (human or otherwise) omission or breakdown in providing these services.
C. DURING THE SALE
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.

The Reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low Estimate and will not exceed the low Estimate for the Lot.
D. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY
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. The Auctioneer may move the bidding backwards of forwards in any way he or she may decide or change the order of the Lots.

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 £500,000, plus 20% from £500,001 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. (a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.
3. ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (DROIT DE SUITE) This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs. org.uk. E. WARRANTIES 1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each Lot, the Seller gives a warranty that the Seller; (a) Is the owner of the Lot or a joint owner of the Lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners, or if the Sellers is not the owner of or a joint owner of the Lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the Lot, or the right to do so in law, and; (b) Had the right to transfer ownership of the Lot to the Buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either other above warranties are incorrect, the Seller shall not have to pay more than the Purchase Price (as defined in the glossary) paid by You to us. The Seller will not be responsible to You for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages or expense. The Seller gives no warranty in relation to any Lot other than as set out above and, as far as the Seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the Seller to You, and all obligations upon the Seller which may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. 2. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each Lot in this Catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the Catalogue description of the Lot, as amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the
206 Catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the Lot the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the Lot by the original purchaser. This Guarantee does not apply if: (a) The Catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the Catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or
