Sir Henry is said to have sold the estate to Adam Rae, a merchant from Edinburgh, in 1612. Soon after that it was acquired by Sir Henry’s nephew, Lord Spynie, who revamped the castle’s interior in the course of the 1620s.

In about 1790, a grandiose staircase hall was added at the rear and the 16th-century corner turrets were embellished with crenelations in the Gothic style.

Note: Intaglio carving is a feature of furniture of the northern Italian Alpine region that was popular in the 16th and early 17th centuries, traditionally associated with the area around the Adige River. The technique of flat, incised decoration with inked scenes against a cut away, punched background, often depicted Biblical, literary, and historical scenes accompanied by animals and mythical beasts. Pieces were typically made of cedar or cypress due to their relative softness for ease of carving, but also for their warm colour and scent, which was a deterrent to moth and worm damage. Chests and boxes made of cypress and cedar were useful for storing valuable textiles,

In Shakespeare’s ‘Taming of the Shrew’ Gremio brags of his cypress chests containing ‘arras counterpoints, costly apparel, tents, and canopies, fine linen, Turkey cushions, … and all things that belong to house or housekeeping’.

In March 1835 Robert Jupe, an upholsterer based at 47 Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, London, applied for a patent on an ‘improved expanding table’ that was ‘so constructed that the sections composing its surface may be caused to diverge from a common center and that the spaces caused thereby may be filled up by inserting leaves or filling pieces’. From 1835-1840 Jupe was in partnership with John Johnstone of New Bond Street and the company traded under the name Johnstone, Jupe & Co. The partnership dissolved after 1840, and each man set up on his own, each selling tables with Jupe’s patent mechanism but under different trade names, Jupe under his own name and Johnstone with a new partner Jeanes. Beautifully engineered, the genius of Jupe’s mechanism was that it
enabled the table’s radial top to expand with minimal effort to accommodate two different sets of eight leaf inserts, allowing the table to transform into three different sizes. Pedestals and bases could be tailored to the wishes of the buyer, from fairly plain to more exuberantly carved examples like the present lot. Other closely related Jupe tables are on record, all with the distinct leaf-carved quadripartite base and lion paw feet as the present model. Although of the same design, many are marked with various combinations of Jupe and Johnstone’s company’s names, an interesting detail as the partnerships changed within such a short period. See C. Gilbert, Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840, fig. 535.

62 The scene most likely depicts the Battle of Emesa, and shows Zenobia, queen of the Palmyran empire, dressed as a warrior on horseback, accompanied by general Zabdas as her army battles with the army of Roman emperor Aurelian. The series from which this tapestry is taken is not well researched, but does appear in several early 20th century references on Brussels tapestries. A version of this scene is included in Johann Böttger, Tapisseries à Figures des XVIe et XVIIe siècles appartenant aux collections privées de la Suède, 1928, and the same tapestry is reproduced in Marillier, English Tapestries of the 18th Century, 1930. Marillier mistakenly attributed all Wauters tapestries to an English origin. A set of tapestries on the same subject, which may be the one of the current lot, is listed in the papers of the Forchoudt family firm of 17th century art dealers, who list the designer as ‘van Houbraten’, Jean Denucé, Kunstuitvoer in de 17de eeuw te Antwerpen. De Firma Forchoudt, Antwerp, 1936. With special thanks to Helen Wyld, Senior Curator of Historic Textiles, Global Arts, Cultures and Design, National Museums Scotland, for help in identifying the subject and maker of this lot.

THE FIRST FLEET & THE SYDNEY COVE MEDALLION
An object of great importance in ceramic history and the history of travel and exploration, the Sydney Cove Medallion is an original artefact from the voyage of the First Fleet under Captain Arthur Phillip, which marked the beginning of European settlement in Australia. Phillip landed at Botany Bay in January 1788 with orders to establish a penal colony, which he did some twelve miles north at Sydney Cove, now Sydney Harbour. The settlement he founded is the direct ancestor of the modern Australian state and has been viewed favourably by historians as a model of just and pragmatic governance. Exhibiting a fineness of detail made possible by the unique qualities of the Sydney Cove clay, the medallion is a superb embodiment of the ingenuity of one of 18th century Britain’s leading industrialists. The medallion was made at Wedgwood’s Etruria factory in 1789. It was designed by Henry Webber and modelled by Wedgwood’s principal modeler, William Hackwood. It is moulded in bas-relief with a classical scene depicting Hope, encouraging Peace, Art and Labour, to work for the prosperity of the new young settlement. The original medallions range in colour from pale biscuit to a dark brown, almost black colour, as represented by the example being offered. In 1770 Captain James Cook discovered the Australian continent and claimed part of it for Britain. With the loss of British colonies in North America, the British were keen to expand their territories in other parts of the world and the government decided to found a settlement in Australia. In 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip became First Governor of the state of New South Wales, where he had been commissioned by George III to create a penal colony, as a way of dealing with the overcrowding in British prisons and prison ships. Eleven ships, carrying over a 1000 people, including 850 convicts and 200 officers, put down anchor at Sydney Cove on 26th Jan 1788. This is now known as ‘The First Fleet’. In November of that same year Captain Phillip wrote to Sir Joseph Banks, who was president of the Royal Society and had accompanied Captain Cook on his 1768 expedition, to inform him that he had found minerals and white clay in the area. He sent samples of these to Banks at the end of 1788. Banks directed the minerals to the relevant scientists, and he sent the clay directly to his friend and fellow Royal Society and Lunar Society member, Josiah Wedgwood, for him to investigate its potential for ceramic production. Wedgwood worked with the clay and was very pleased with its qualities. Two batches of medallions were produced from the clay sent back to Sir Joseph Banks. From the first batch of medallions Wedgwood sent an example to Banks and on 12th March 1790 Wedgwood wrote to him: Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price: see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 2

“I have the pleasure of acquainting you, that the clay from Sydney Cove, which you did me the honour of submitting to my examination, is an excellent material for pottery, and may certainly be made the basis of a valuable manufacture for our infant colony there. Of the species of ware which may be produced from it, you will have some idea from the medallions I have sent for your inspection.” [1] Medallions from the first batch were to be sent to Sydney Cove, for the attention of Governor Phillip, on the ‘Second Fleet’ and they were to be distributed at his discretion. By November 1789, a second batch of medallions had been completed. Wedgwood’s friend, the physician and poet Erasmus Darwin, was the recipient of one. He wrote to Wedgwood: “I have received great pleasure from your excellent medallion of Hope. The figures are all finely beautiful and speak for themselves.” [2] In Nov 1789, an account of ‘The Voyage of Governor Phillip to Botany Bay’ was printed by the publisher John Stockdale. On the title page there is an engraving of the Sydney Cove Medallion and a description of it:

“The elegant Vignette in the title-page was engraved from a medallion which the ingenious Mr Wedgewood caused to be modelled from a small piece of clay brought from Sydney Cove. The clay proves to be of a fine texture, and will be found very useful for the manufactory of earthenware. The design is allegorical; it represents Hope encouraging Art and Labour, under the influence of Peace, to pursue the employments necessary to give security and happiness to an infant settlement.” [3] It is unknown how many medallions of the original issue were produced. The whereabouts of 10 are currently known. [4] As the medallions would have taken considerable time and skill to make Richard Smith suggests in his Sydney Cove Medallion essay that:
“Wedgwood would have made no more than was necessary for the publicity value. One for Erasmus Darwin; a few for Sir Joseph Banks as President of the Royal Society for his own distribution; perhaps fifteen or twenty for Governor Phillip’s distribution. The total production may have been somewhere around two dozen, probably no more.” Despite having carried out thousands of ceramic experiments over many years, it appears that Wedgwood was proud of creating the Sydney Cove medallion, producing a special issue to commemorate the settlement at Sydney Cove. These medallions record the start of a new chapter of colonial history as well as symbolising Wedgwood’s skill and technical innovation, which was at its height at this time. The medallions are fine and fragile in nature. Surviving examples are rare and are seldom seen on the market.

In addition to the medallion being offered for sale, two are in UK museums: one in the British Museum; one in the Lady Lever Art Gallery. There is a broken medallion at the V&A, which is listed as being a 1789 example, although it is unclear if it has the original impressed makers mark to the reverse. Others are in Australian museums and institutions: five in the State Library, New South Wales; one in the National Museum of Australia; one with the Sydney Living Museums Corporation; one in the Silent World Foundation. In 2014 a medallion was offered for sale by an Australian antiques dealer and is now in private ownership.

THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE SIR RICHARD SHEPHERD, MP
Sir Richard Shepherd MP, who passed away earlier this year, was an influential backbench Tory Parliamentarian. The son of Davida and Alfred Shepherd, he was born in Aberdeen, and educated in London. He later went on to read Economics at London School of Economics before going on to Johns Hopkins University, School of Advanced International Studies in Bologna, Italy. In 1968 he set up a family grocery business, Shepherd Foods, the first convenience store chain to offer latenight shopping. He then founded the more upmarket grocery company, Partridges, in the Sloane Street area of Chelsea in 1972. The business is still run by his family and has proudly held a Royal Warrant since 1994. In his long political career he championed the concept of open government and freedom of information becoming widely respected as one of the party’s libertarians, even when he fell foul of ministers’ wishes
and the demands of party whips. In recognition of this he was awarded Backbencher of the Year in 1987 and Parliamentarian of the Year in 1995 by the Spectator Magazine. He represented the constituency of Aldridge-Brownhills in the West Midlands for 36 years, which he won from Labour in 1979 and held through the eight subsequent elections. After being knighted in 2013, he stood down as an MP at the 2015 general election. Sir Richard made his London home at No.14 Addison Road in Holland Park, a house with many strong literary associations. The novelist and playwright John Galsworthy lived there from 1905 to 1913 where he wrote the first book of the Forsyte Saga, and other notable occupants included the novelist Joseph Conrad, whose youngest son was born in the house, and the pioneering lesbian poet and author Marguerite ‘John’ Radclyffe Hall.

THE CLOWES & SONS EXCELSIOR MARIONETTES In the 1860s travelling marionette shows were a common sight either on their own or at fairgrounds. This peripatetic nature makes them one of the most ephemeral of Victorian entertainments, since they left no buildings, very few printed bills, posters, or scripts, and only a handful of actual puppets survive, which makes this little collection of marionettes so special. Travelling shows were performed by family troupes, and amongst the most famous was the Tiller-Clowes troupe. The company was created in the second half of the 19th century, when Ambrose Tiller was hired by the great marionette proprietor John Simms. In 1863 Simms’ partner, John Hunt, was killed while dismantling the booth in a storm. His widow Eliza Cheadle, a member of a travelling company, became the partner, both privately and professionally, of Ambrose Tiller. Her daughter by John Hunt married John Clowes, who belonged to another well-established theatre company from the Birmingham area. Soon there were half a dozen Tiller and Clowes companies actively performing around the country, with varying family members entering into partnerships, or going off on their own. The Clowes were wellknown as puppet makers, and many of the surviving Tiller marionettes were probably made by them. The present group are all Clowes & Sons’ Excelsior Marionettes, a troupe founded by William Clowes after dissolving his company with Walter Tiller in 1894. Clowes’ troupe would tour up until his death in 1916. This group of marionettes was originally purchased by Harry William Whanslaw, the British author, illustrator and puppeteer who contributed to the revival of interest in puppet theatre in Great Britain from the mid-1920s. He acquired a large collection of Clowes puppets in 1936 that had been packed away in crates after William Clowe’s death in 1916. In his own report he mentions how much the marionettes had suffered during their ’imprisonment’, how the clothes were extremely dilapidated, and his subsequent work to reconstruct them. In 1939 Florence Lillian Bartley Finn, mother of the current vendor, started enquiring about purchasing some of his marionettes, as is recorded in letters accompanying the collection. Due to safety concerns in the early years of the Second World War, Whanslaw could not risk shipping them to her in the United States, where she had moved from the UK. The purchase finally happened in 1941, and the marionettes stayed in her family until now. Florence’s daughter painstakingly created new costumes for each marionette, based on her own research and how each puppet ‘spoke’ to her. In April 2012 they memorably appeared in a segment of the Antiques Roadshow with Bunny Campione where they delighted a crowd once again.

DAY TWO: 17TH NOVEMBER 2022 FROM 10AM
THE BELLAMY COLLECTION Norman and Hazel Bellamy designed and built their family house in County Down, Northern Ireland in 2002. Norman was an artist, who initially worked as an illustrator in the newspaper industry before becoming a senior manager. Hazel progressed through a career in banking. Together they enjoyed forty very happy years of ‘buying trips’ across the UK carefully sourcing pictures, furniture, works of art and furnishings to fill every corner and surface of their home. Over this time they both developed a keen eye for what would work and what to look for next. For Norman and Hazel, it was often as much about the buying trip as furnishing their home. They had enormous fun going off on their travels and selecting pieces that appealed to them; without fail, there was always a pre Christmas visit to London to see what else they could find to add to their collection. In Hazel’s words, their approach to collecting was ‘Collect things you love, with people you love, and a house becomes your home’. The result was a well curated, richly decorated, warm and welcoming home, packed full

670 THE DYERS’ COMPANY USHAK CARPET WEST ANATOLIA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY the camel field with allover palmette and foliate vine lattice pattern, within blue border
The Company’s Gift Book records that this carpet was commissioned and presented in 1930 by Court Assistant Dr. Gerald Moody. The carpet remained in the Court Room from that time until its recent removal as part of the hall’s renovations, which commenced in 2018; the most significant works since the building of the hall in the 19th century.
1007cm x 697cm
Henry VI granted the Guild of Dyers their first charter in 1471, confirming Provenance: that the guild had the authority to The Worshipful Company of control the quality of workmanship Dyers, Dyers Hall, London and hence the reputation of London £8,000-12,000 dyers. Once the guild became incorporated by charter, it was legally possible for it to own land and their first hall was then acquired in 1482. Over the centuries the Dyers have had several halls, both on the riverside and at the current site. The present Dyers’ Hall, occupying a corner position at the junction of Dowgate Hill and College Street in the City of London, was designed and built by the aptly named architect Charles Dyer in 1839-41. The hall is listed Grade II* and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The Court Room, occupying the same space as the previous hall, faces out on to College Street. It is used for the monthly meetings of the Court of Assistants and several dinners each year. Some of the furniture and furnishings were transferred from the old to the new hall, but whether or not the carpet in the Court Room was new at the time the building was finished in 1841, it was no longer at its best by the time Dr Moody offered to replace it with a bespoke commission.

Above: The carpet in situ at a meeting of the Court of Assistants in 1966 in the Court Room of The Worshipful Company of Dyers, Dyers Hall, London Dr Gerald Tattersall Moody DSc. FCS. (1864-1943) was initially a chemist although later read for the bar and was called in 1910. He also took a keen interest in finance and applied his analytical mind to investing. He became chairman or director of a number of companies and had a high reputation in the City. Dr Moody joined the Livery in 1918 and became Prime Warden of the Dyers in 1935. When Dr. Moody commissioned this impressive carpet for the Court Room, the city of Ushak in the new Republic of Turkey had established a significant reputation for the production of large scale good quality carpets designed for European tastes and room sizes. Ushak (or Uşak) in Western Anatolia, and its surrounding region, has a long and illustrious history of carpet weaving. In the fifteenth century it produced carpets for the Ottoman court in Istanbul and from the sixteenth century on it was one of the largest producers of commercial carpets for Europe. With revitalised demand from the late 19th century onwards, the carpet weaving trade in Ushak boomed once more. Mary Beach Langton notes in her book How to Know Oriental Rugs, published in 1904, that: “at Oushak [sic], alone, it is estimated that from five to six thousand weavers and dyers are employed. And here the best rugs are made…They are usually of good wool, often of permanent dyes” (p177). An Ushak production would thus have been an obvious choice for a good quality carpet on a grand scale for the principle room of the Dyers’ Hall. The Company notes that to produce a carpet of this size required a specially built loom to be constructed at the time. Almost a century on, a new bespoke carpet was commissioned to mark the 550th anniversary of the Company Charter and it is now time for the Dyers’ Hall Ushak to find a new home.

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.

On occasion where Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. own a lot in part or full the property will be identified in the catalogue with the symbol (🄰) next to its lot number.
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
22.3
three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report.
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.
(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.
(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
(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given.
(d) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300. (e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

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.

This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme.

This reduced rate is applicable to Antique

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.

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.
