NEEDLEWORK RUG, CIRCA 1860 wool, with later linen backing, with later cotton binding to each end, the panel a section of a larger carpet
223cm x 147.5cm
Provenance: St. Leonards - Mayfield Chapel, Mayfield, Sussex, England.
Note: The remains of a medieval palace belonging to the Archbishops of Canterbury was converted into a school, Mayfield School of the Holy Child, by Edward Welby Pugin in 1863-6. This section of a needlework rug originally ran the entire length of the Chapel. Due to the sheer scale of the work, the rug was constructed in small, panelled sections and later stitched together to form the carpet. Hand-stitched by the sisters of Mayfield Chapel, the carpet was produced for Mother Cornelia Connelly, founder of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus. As in other projects, E.W. Pugin continued to use the decorative designs of his father of which this may be one.

The names of the individual manufacturers were not recorded however the note states that the design history of these very distinctive jewels remains speculative, but they certainly stem from the inspiration of considerable talent of the order of A.W.N. Pugin or William Burges. Another example of this brooch was given by Pugin to his third wife Jane Knill (Christie’s London, April 16, 2013, Lot 204.)
Note: The original drawing and a tracing of this brooch survive in the Hardman archive, held at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery. The Birmingham brooch and its design drawing were exhibited at Birmingham Gold & Silver 17731973, at the City Museum, 28th July-16th September 1973, cat.

FURNITURE & WORKS OF ART FROM PAUL SHUTLER, DEALER IN HISTORIC DESIGN
Dealing and collecting since 2006, Paul Shutler is a dealer with a difference. He studied cabinet making and furniture conservation for five years to degree level, before portering for an international auction house. From this Paul gained a strong understanding of furniture construction and a wide knowledge of the antiques trade. His appreciation of good design was formed along with a passion for knowledge. Learning how to make a chair by hand allows him to identify a well-designed chair!
Paul deals without a shop and does not stand at antique fairs, preferring to spend much of his time in archives and libraries to bring the stories of the objects he finds to life. His passion for research has resulted in the production of
numerous articles for several peer-reviewed journals, one of the first solely about the importance of provenance and research.
This meticulous research has allowed him to make countless important discoveries and place a diverse range of objects in private collections and museums across the globe. His focus continues to be on furniture and works of art designed by architects and designers from 1750 to the present day, with quality being a prerequisite and each work being assessed on its unique merits.
Offered here are a fascinating selection of pieces that have strong provenance and/or design-merit in common, and most have new research to accompany them.

Country Life, Madge Garland, 8 Addison Road, Kensington - The Town Houses of Halsey Ricardo - II, 20th November 1975
£2,000-3,000
Sir Ernest Debenham (1865-1952) of the Debenham department store family, commissioned the architect and designer Halsey Ricardo to build him a house at 8 Addison Road in 1906. This house came to be known as Debenham House or, on occasion, The Peacock House. Halsey Ralph Ricardo established his architectural practice in 1878 but also worked in partnership with William De Morgan (1839-1917) designing ceramics. He advocated the use of architectural glazed tiles to resist the pollution of 19th century London. Debenham House is a striking example of this practice.
Ricardo clad the external walls with glazed Burmantofts tiles in bands of peacock greens and blues. He fitted the four reception rooms, seventeen bedrooms and six bathrooms, all with De Morgan tiled fire surrounds (with no two alike) and with De Morgan pictorial panels throughout the building. In addition to this, he used various marbles and architectural elements clad with Doulton ‘Carrara ware’ tiles.
Described as the last flourish of the Arts & Crafts movement, the house features plaster friezes by Ernest Gimson (1864-1919), stained glass by Edward Prior (1852-1932) and a mosaic designed by George Jack (18551931). Along with the exterior gates and railings, the interior door furniture, including the handles, finger plates, bell-pushes and light fittings were all designed and made under the supervision of Ricardo by the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft. It would have been inappropriate for Ricardo to use any

MP William Kenrick (1831-1919), chief shareholder and director of the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft, and his brother-in-law was the Guild’s managing director, Claude Napier-Clavering (1869-1938).
These lights are one of the original three pairs designed specifically for the main hall, they feature butterflies circling a single rose before ivy leaves, a theme repeated throughout the building.

£15,000-20,000
William Burges’s only commission in Edinburgh was for a carved stone reredos or dossal for the high altar (though moved around 1900 to the lady chapel) of St Michael and All Saints Episcopal Church depicting the Annunciation flanked by Moses and Gideon. It was modelled by Thomas Nicholls and coloured and gilt by Charles Campbell of Harland and Fisher. This bowl was commissioned by Burges for his own collection using the funds he received for the work. Exotic antique works of art, such as the present example, mounted with precious metals and coloured enamels are typical illustrations of Burges’s enthusiasm for collecting and his antiquarian tastes. Burges commemorated his projects by having archaic items mounted and inscribed in this fashion. Another example of this, now in The Bute Collection, is his Cat Cup of 1867, an elaborately mounted Chinese crystal beaker which Burges had made for himself after his failed competition entry for the Law Courts, eventually won by G.E. Street. It is inscribed around the foot WILLIAM:BURGES:IN:REMEMBRANCE:OF:THE:LAW:COURTS:COMPETITION:AD:MDCCCLXVII.

The exterior of this cabinet is decorated with a choir of angels on the front. Above the door is the Latin motto:
‘Non vox sed votum, non musica chordula sed cor, Non clamans sed amans, cantat in aure Dei’.
Translated as:
‘Not the voice, but the desire, not the musical instrument, but the heart, not the crier, but the lover, singeth in the ear of God’.
Or
‘It is the duty of a devout mind to pray to God, not with the voice or the sound of the voice but with the devotion of the mind and with the faith of the heart’.
The interior right-hand panel:
Gules two swords in saltire argent hilts and pommels or (for the See of London) Per fess indented argent and azure a bend gules (for Blomfield) - ensigned with a Cross and a Crozier
For the Bishop of London and Blomfield’s late father Charles James Blomfield (1786-1857).
The interior left-hand panel:
Argent on a bend azure between two unicorn’s heads couped three lozenges of the field (for Smith) Crest. A demitiger rampant azure holding a broken sword proper
Motto- Vigilando et orando (By watching and praying).
For Blomfield’s late wife Caroline Harriet Smith (1840-1882)
Note: Until the re-attribution of this cabinet, domestic furniture designed by Blomfield numbered just one: a cupboard, first published by his friend Charles Locke Eastlake in Hints on Household Taste, Plate XXX, of which a handful of examples exist.
Blomfield was not the only Gothic architect to make elaborate large-scale pieces for their home or office early on in their career. Richard Norman Shaw famously commissioned a cabinet that now resides in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum straight after he left the employ of George Edmund Street, and of course, the architect William Burges furnished his entire office and house with such cabinets.
The interior, later decorated following his wife’s death in 1882, is intended as a private memorial for his late father, the Bishop of London, Charles James Blomfield (1786-1857) and a memorial from a devoted husband to his late wife Caroline Harriet Smith (1840-1882).

In 1870 Frederick Vyner (1847-1870) was kidnapped by bandits while travelling in Greece. A large ransom was demanded and, in part, collected before his eventual murder. In his honour his mother Lady Mary Vyner and his sister Lady Ripon used the unspent ransom to commission two churches and this book of common prayer from the architect William Burges whose design for this binding is now held in the collection of the RIBA.
The two churches commissioned are The Church of St Mary, Studley Royal and The Church of Christ the Consoler, Skelton-on-Ure, where identical armorial shields are incorporated into the architecture of the external buttresses. A memorial tablet for Frederick Vyner is in York Minster.

Titus Salt Jr, the youngest son of Sir Titus Salt, married Catherine Crossley in 1866 and immediately moved into the newly vacant Baildon Lodge just outside Bradford, Leeds. While living at Baildon Lodge, the newlywed homemakers commissioned the local firm Marsh & Jones to supply a large number of furnishings from a grand piano to basic toilet wares between 1865-67. Marsh & Jones employed the designer Charles Bevan to provide the Salts with the most modern designs in the reformed gothic style. Along with Bruce Talbert exhibiting a handful of ‘medieval’ or ‘old English’ pieces (including the Pericles cabinet) on the Holland & Son stand at the 1867 Paris Exhibition, it is widely accepted Bevan’s designs for the Salts marked a turning point in British taste.
Between 1871 and 1873 the Salts moved to their partially built country house, Milner Field, with building work continuing around them they took the contents of Baildon Lodge with them. The architect used was Thomas Harris (c.1930-1900), a littleknown architect from London. The house too was built in the reformed gothic style with ornamental metalwork by Messrs Richardson, Slade & Co., furniture and panelling by Messrs Marsh & Jones, Stained glass by Messrs Saunders & Co. and cartoons and frescos painted by Frederick Weekes. The final two artists are best known for their collaborations with William Burges.
Catherine Salt was an avid musician and gifted singer and regularly sang at the many soirees the couple hosted. The music room suite that included these chairs would have been of great importance to her and so would no doubt have followed her when she left Milner Fields in 1903. Illustrations of the grand piano, duet stool and music cabinet from this commission were published in The Building News of 1st March 1867. Both the piano and the duet stool are in the collection of Lotherton Hall, Leeds.

EUGÈNE EMMANUEL VIOLLET-LE-DUC (1814-79) AND FATHER ARTHUR MARTIN (1802-1856) FOR POUSSIELGUE-RUSAND (1824–89)
PAIR OF FIVE-LIGHT CANDELABRA, CIRCA 1860
39.5cm wide, 64.5cm high, 18cm deep Private collection, Belgium, until November 2022
An appraisal of Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879) ’ Decorative Art Society Journal No. 16, 1992
Viollet-le-Duc, his business partner Jean-Baptiste Lassus (1807-1857) and Father Arthur Martin all supplied designs to Notre Dame during its 25-year post-revolution restoration from 1845. The design of the lower portion of these candelabra was initially found in a set of six ormolu pricket candlesticks made by Poussielgue-Rusand for Notre-Dame in 1862. Violletle-Duc’s drawing for these is in the Heritage and Media Photographic Library at Cherenton-le-Pont, Paris. A set of six of the original pricket candlesticks designs was also used in the chapel of Saint Michael, Saint Raphael & Saint Gabriel at the Cathedral of Saint Julian of Le Mans, France. The pricket design was also exhibited by Poussielgue-Rusand at the 1867 Paris Exposition Universelle.
The upper section of candle arms was designed by Father Arthur Martin, and it featured in Poussielgue-Rusand’s catalogues from 1853, initially as a wall-mounted candle arm. Father Arthur Martin was a talented draughtsman and collector of medieval art and materials. In the 1840s he and his fellow Jesuit Brother Charles Cahier (1807-1882) began interpreting and classifying the collection. Their work was then published by Placide Poussielgue-Rusand from 1847 onwards in the highly influential multi-volume publication on
medieval art entitled ’Mélanges d’archéologie, d’histoire, et de littérature’.
The upper portion of the candelabra can also be compared to the grilles designed by Viollet-le-Duc in 1865 for the Basilica of Saint-Denis, among other places. An engraving of these was published in the Gazette des Architectes et du Batiment, Vol. 3 1865 No. 9, p. 133.
A pair of Viollet-le-Duc’s pricket-design candlesticks in lacquered bronze is in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago and an elaborate casket designed by Father Martin is in the collection of Notre Dame.
Viollet-le-Duc’s writings on decoration and on the relationship between form and function in architecture had a fundamental influence on a whole new generation of architects, including all the major Art Nouveau artists. His writings also influenced John Ruskin, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, and William Burges admitted in his late life “We all cribbed on Viollet-le-Duc even though no one could read French.”
Street designed these tables for the interior of his Law Courts (now The Royal Courts of Justice), opened by Queen Victoria in 1882. The first room to be completed, indeed the only room within Street’s lifetime, was the Barrister’s or Bar room in 1880. Street used the firm Collinson & Lock to supply furniture including two centre tables, two side tables and 24 chairs. Later, in 1882, after Street’s untimely death in 1881, Collinson and Lock were asked to supply further items of furniture of the same designs as the firm had previously made. The two architects entrusted with completing the building were Street’s friend Arthur William Blomfield (see lot 31) and his son Arthur Edmund Street. This time the budget was far tighter so savings were required and the elaborately carved panels seen at the ends of the original tables were omitted. A number of these later tables of the same design as the current lot remain in the Courts today.

(1824-1881)
REFORMED GOTHIC HANGING
BOOKCASE, CIRCA 1880
ebonised and gilded wood, with later silk backing and with three adjustable shelves
116.5cm wide, 150cm high, 23.3cm deep, shelf depth 14cm
Provenance: John Gilbert Getty (1968-2020) with Paul Shutler
Note: In 1874-5 G.E. Street added a chapel to his previous commission, Cuddesdon College near Oxford (1853). At the same time, he designed and supplied a suite of ebonised and gilt bookcases for the library, and, although it is not known for which commission the current lot was made, this hanging bookcase follows their design. As with most architects of the time, the re-use of a successful design for other commissions was commonplace.

£2,500-3,500
Along with Bruce Talbert, who exhibited a handful of ‘medieval’ or ‘old English’ pieces (including the Pericles cabinet now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York) on the Holland & Son stand at the 1867 Paris Exhibition, it is widely accepted that Charles Bevan’s 1865 designs for Titus Salt Jr marked a turning point in British taste. This cabinet was one of a pair, which were split up between two friends shopping in London at Harris Lindsay circa 2000. The other cabinet was purchased by the academic collector Peter Rose (recently sold at Christie’s London, 30th September 2021, Lot 110, as part of The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection (£12,000). Stamped ‘GILLOW & CO’ ‘2324’ the Christie’s example has a note in the provenance mentioning Samlesbury Hall in Lancashire. Although originally built in the 14th century, Samlesbury Hall was acquired by the industrialist Joseph Harrison (1805-1880) in 1862 and given to his son William Harrison (18** -1879). William Harrison spent a vast sum of money refurbishing the interiors and furnishing the hall. The Gillow estimate sketch books, held at the Westminster City archives, have records of him ordering numerous pieces of reformed gothic furniture in 1866. The commission includes pieces in Bevan’s distinctive style but also in Pugin’s.

The pared-back design of this candelabrum in 1901, marks the move away from the dependence on stylised plant forms that characterised early Munich Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) up to 1900, paving the way for modernism. The design frequently appeared in the catalogues of the Vereinigte Werkstätten Für Kunst im Handwerk (United Workshops for Art and Handicraft, Munich) between 1901 -1907. Examples are held in the collections of The Stadtmuseum Munich (1958); The British Museum (1993); Saint Louis Art Museum (1995) The Minneapolis Institute of Art (1998) The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (2000) Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2008) and Philadelphia Museum of Art (2016).
This piece is often confused with a candelabrum made later by the Anderson Brass Works in Chicago. Apart from the obvious visual differences, these pieces are often signed with an ‘A’ in a triangle.

J.H. CHAMBERLAIN (1831-1883)
GOTHIC REVIVAL LONGCASE CLOCK, CIRCA 1878
carved oak and walnut, inset with marquetry panels, and carved to the roundel with initials TR, the 14” silvered brass dial inscribed HURT & SON, BIRMINGHAM, with seconds dial and strike silent facility, the three-train movement with dead-beat escapement, quarter-chiming on a nest of eight bells and striking the hour on a subsidiary bell 61cm wide, 248.5cm high, 30cm deep £4,000-6,000
This magnificent clock was designed by the architect, John Henry Chamberlain, and the case was probably made in the workshop of Samuel Barfield, a skilled woodcarver who frequently worked for Chamberlain. A related set of wall shelves and an entire room by Chamberlain, currently on display in the British Galleries at the Victoria and Albert Museum, were removed from The Grove, Harborne. The Grove, demolished in 1963, was one of a wide range of projects designed by Chamberlain and his partner William Martin (1828-1900) in and around Birmingham. Frequently designed in the Ruskinian Gothic style they pumping stations, libraries, schools, shops, churches and chapels as well as a number of private houses. His ideals chimed perfectly with Birmingham’s ruling liberals at the time, who sought to transform industrial Birmingham into a cultural centre to rival the great European capitals. One of his finest achievements, the Municipal School of Art of 1885, still stands today in Margaret Street.
Chamberlain was one of the earliest practical exponents of the ideas of architectural theorist, John Ruskin and was increasingly influenced by the early Arts and Crafts movement in his later works. His belief in the value of individual craftsmanship and patterns inspired by nature are evident in the profusely carved and inlaid case of the current lot.

Note: Clement Heaton, an early member of A.H. Mackmurdo’s Century Guild, set up his company Heatons Cloisonné-Mosaic Ltd at 6 Berners Street, London in 1887, a year after selling his share in his father’s lucrative stained glass business Heaton, Butler & Bayne for £4,800. He patented his enamelling technique in 1886, inspired by medieval techniques that precluded the firing process and instead used coloured cements: a mixture of resin, beeswax, sulphur marble dust and coloured pigments. Hardening over time, these cements could be polished to give the soft matt finish characteristic of Heaton’s work as seen in the present example.

These more flamboyant pieces used rare and expensive timbers and enabled the designer to showcase his skill in decorative metalwork.

The contribution to the medium of stained glass by William Morris and his principal collaborator Edward Burne-Johnes marked an epoch in its post-medieval development. By the 1890s, the reputation gained by Morris & Co. for their stained glass was such that a number of their patrons exclusively commissioned windows from the firm, to ensure the visual unity of their buildings. One such commission was from Cheadle Royal Hospital near Manchester, who in 1904 instructed Morris & Co. to glaze all of the windows of their new chapel. The glass was installed over four periods (1906, 1909, 1911, and finally in 1915), and this present example, depicting St Andrew, originally formed the left part of a three-light window, with St Matthew in the centre and St Peter on the right-hand side.
This fine example of stained glass can be traced back to a drawing by Burne-Jones (BJ 514) that was first made for a window in St Mark’s Church, New Ferry, in 1876. It was then re-used at Holy Trinity, Sloane Street in London in 1894-95 and Albion Congregational Church in Ashton-under-Lyne in 1896 before it illuminated the chapel at Cheadle. The guiding principles that governed the manufacture of the Cheadle windows can be found in an article by Morris in 1890 in which he stressed the importance of clarity of design and colour, ‘The qualities needed in the design […] are beauty and character of outline […] Whatever key of colour may be chosen, [it] should always be clear, bright and emphatic.’

Provenance: From the collection of Arthur Halcrow Verstage
Note: Arthur Halcrow Verstage (1875-1969) was an architect who spent much of his career in the public sector. He was a student at the Royal Academy School of Architecture in the 1900s and was elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1902. By 1903 he was a student and assistant at the Central School of Arts and Crafts (later known as the Central School of Art and Design) in London, where William Lethaby was principal and a great influence on him. He then oversaw the design of the new school in Southampton Row from 1905-8. From here, he became an architect for London County Council, was involved with many London societies and was a founding member of the Kelmscott Fellowship, a forerunner to The William Morris Society. His large and varied collection was a reflection of his wide interest in the arts. His archive was purchased by The William Morris Society in 2005.
The Irish horticulturist and journalist William Robinson (1838-1935) had a marked effect on the textile arts during the final decades of the nineteenth century. Author of The Wild Garden (1870) and The English Flowered Garden (1883), Robinson rejected the artificiality and formality of High Victorian pattern gardening in favour of naturalised plantings of perennial shrubs and climbers. This approach found favour with Arts & Crafts textiles designers at the time including May Morris.

SIR EDWIN LUTYENS (1869-1944)
DOOR FOR LITTLE THAKEHAM, 1902

91cm wide, 199cm high, 2.5cm deep
Provenance: Little Thakeham, West Sussex Little Thakeham (the sale of the contents), Rupert Toovey, 18th October 2000, lot 17.
Private Collection
Literature: Stamp G. Edwin Lutyens Country Houses, Aurum Press 2001, pp.110-115, and p.114 where similar doors to the current lot are illustrated in situ
Note: Lutyens once described Little Thakeham in Sussex, which was designed for Ernest Murray Brown and completed in 1902, as ‘the best of the bunch’. The exterior of the house is vernacular, as are several features of the interiors including the magnificent doors, found around the house, of which the current lot is one example. However, the house was one of the first in which Lutyens mixed neoclassical architecture into his previously vernacular style, particularly seen in the large hall.

Dryad was formed in 1906 by Harry Peach and Benjamin Fletcher, head of Leicester School of Art. Initially producing cane furniture, it soon branched out to produce other Arts & Crafts artefacts. Dryad Metal Works was established in 1912 when William Pick of Collins & Co., Birmingham, and a former pupil at Leicester School of Art, joined Harry Peach in partnership. From 1917 they produced simple but well-made designs predominantly provided by John Sidney Reeve and other instructors at the Leicester School of Art. John Sidney Reeve was a silversmith who had formally worked for Charles Robert Ashbee and the Guild of Handicraft in Chipping Campden. The Collins and Co. mark was used between 1915 and 1919, after which the DMW stamp was used.

Voysey C.F.A. Reason as a basis of art, 1906 p.24.
Note: Voysey’s fireplace designs exhibit a startlingly modern simplicity, in contrast to the ‘distracting’ ornament which had typified the Victorian hearth. If simplicity pervaded Voysey’s approach, it was enlivened with familiar motifs which he used elsewhere, in this instance the heart and the perched bird. Writing in 1906 he asked his readers to “consider the average fireplace in the average home and count the number of different materials and colours of which it is composed. Is it conducive to restfulness and quiet reflection? Or is this whirl-wind of countless sensations needed to drown out our sober thought? Are bustle and discord necessary to our home life?”

Kate, or Katie, Harris, is broadly considered one of the most important designers for the London-based firm, William Hutton & Sons. From 1899 to around 1905, she produced exquisite designs for artistic silver. We are pleased to offer this wonderful selection of pieces, which demonstrate the exquisite breadth of work she produced for the firm, and which is still very much sought-after by collectors.
Sinuous botanical motifs and enchanting organic forms dominate her work, serving both a decorative and structural purpose for the piece itself. Perhaps Harris’ best-known designs, however, are those featuring a classically stylised figural form, typically austere in feeling and with fewer erotic overtones than Continental Art Nouveau counterparts. The skilled craftsmanship needed to bring these designs to life showcases the sheer elegance and simple beauty that is now synonymous with Harris’ work.
The period between 1880 and 1914 offered fresh opportunities to women artists in training and employment, and there was a growing number of women artistdesigners’ names published in popular art magazines at the time. Harris gained critical acclaim after regularly featuring in The Studio Magazine; soon several companies began to retail her popular silverwares, including Goldsmiths and G. L. Connell. While Harris may have been one of Hutton & Sons brightest talents, it was commercial standard practice for designs to be attributed to the firm itself, and not the individual designer. As a consequence, even successful artists would remain largely anonymous and it became challenging, particularly for women, to forge a prosperous artistic career. Though her biography remains vague, her accomplishments in silverware design are continually recognised and reflected in the high prices her work commands in the art market today.

RARE CRUCIFORM ‘TUDRIC’ CLOCK, CIRCA 1902 model 098, pewter, inlaid with abalone shell, stamped TUDRIC 098
37.5cm high
Literature: Martin, S., Archibald Knox, London 2001, pp.70-75, illus. pp.70 and 235. £25,000-35,000
Knox’s work draws on the rich cultural heritage of his native Isle of Man. As with many of the larger clocks that are known to exist, their monumental forms are reminiscent of the standing Celtic stones which populate the island’s countryside, which Knox spent a lifetime exploring. The decoration in this example is stripped of superfluous ornament and is sparingly embellished with inlays of iridescent abalone shell. The soft sheen of its flat pewter surface is punctuated by the exuberant chapters, and the whole creates a stark and striking visual effect that signals a modernist and highly original approach to the design. This is a rare clock, one of the great clocks of Knox’s ‘Liberty Period’ and one of only a handful known. It fulfils his desire to bring together two worlds which he valued deeply: the ancient Celtic tradition and the new, modern world of design, which was undergoing the development of a new and innovative aesthetic.

WORKS FROM THE GLASGOW ART CLUB COLLECTION
Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to present this eclectic series of sketchbook drawings by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for sale. The collection offers an insight into different aspects of his oeuvre, illustrative of both his methodology as a designer and the role the natural world played in his process.
The sketches belonged to James Meldrum, having come from the collection of his father William Meldrum, Mackintosh’s friend and fellow student at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1880s. James Meldrum notably staged the 1933 Memorial Exhibition of Mackintosh’s work in the MacLellan Galleries on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street, along with his friend William Davidson. After James’ death, his widow Eva gifted the vast body of the William Meldrum Collection to the Mitchell Library, Glasgow. The series of works shown here were gifted to the Glasgow Art Club in the 1980s and now appear on the open market for the first time.
Mackintosh blazed a difficult trail. He felt profoundly that in order to innovate, the practises of art and architectural design must be synonymous, stating that ‘The Architect must become an art worker… But to do this requires conviction’. This holistic, fundamentally artistic viewpoint was met with little enthusiasm by his architectural peers in Glasgow at this time. Fortunately for us, Mackintosh held true to this conviction at great personal cost, producing groundbreaking and timeless artworks, buildings, interiors and objects. Sadly, famously, he died long before wide recognition of his genius.
His eye for detail and distinctive, encompassing aesthetic is apparent in lot 259 ‘Scale Drawing for Proposed Memorial Stone to Lt. Col. Oswald Arthur Gerald Fitzgerald CMG’. Though the memorial did not ultimately entirely follow Mackintosh’s design specifications, it remains an interesting example of the way in which Mackintosh could turn his hand to an extraordinary diversity of projects.
Lot 260 is a delicate design for a wall frieze. Referenced on p.66 of Roger Billcliffe’s, this sketch is a study for 14 Kingsborough Gardens in Glasgow, the property of Fra Newbery’s mother-in-law Mrs Rowat. Dating to c.1902, Billcliffe states that the design of Kingsborough Gardens was notably feminine, with detailed stencilled motifs of stylized flowers decorating the walls.
Offered here are a fascinatingly diverse group of floral studies in which we see the artist employ different approaches. Mackintosh began creating flower sketches as far back as his student days in the 1880s. ‘Anemones’ is one such early example. He notes in the cartouche that the plant was found at Lamlash on Arran in 1893, presumably pressed, and then sketched three years later in 1896. These trips and the company he kept (recorded by the inclusion of his friend’s initials in many cases) were clearly important to him. The sketches represent a journal of sorts, and it perhaps speaks to a sensitivity (as well as his great precision) that he chose to depict a re-discovered flower from a past excursion.
Colour began making a subtle, delicate appearance after a visit to Lindisfarne, Holy Island in 1901. Lot 257 ‘Harebells’ is a decorative and stylised piece, unusually created entirely in watercolour with no traces of the assured and technical pencil lines that one associates with his botanic studies. Nonetheless, each brushstroke is considered and placed with intent above spontaneity.
At the other end of the spectrum is lot 258 ‘Plant Studies’, which offers a tantalising insight into his design process. Here Mackintosh considers a cluster of appealingly shaped leaves. In the bottom right we see he has constructed a grid, sketching within it a floral form: pinned for dissection by his designer’s eye which seeks to discover his subject’s recurring natural shapes to extrapolate into pattern.
During a ten-month period in 19141915, Charles Rennie Mackintosh created his celebrated series of botanical watercolour studies at Walberswick on the Suffolk coast. Believed to number around 30-40 in total, these works are loved for their meditative, skilful delicacy, and the way they encapsulate the extraordinary marriage of technical and creative vision that Mackintosh possessed. Few beyond Mackintosh are capable of perceiving, much less conveying, both the random beauty and extraordinary symmetry and inherent structural design of the natural world.

By 1915 he had married Margaret Mackintosh, and her initials ’MMM’ begin to appear on his drawings, denoting, like a diary entry, that she was present with him when these sketches were created. ‘Lavander, Walberswick’, the most detailed of the sketches offered here for sale, beautifully illustrates his technical prowess and ever-elegant hand. Creating a sense of texture by highlighting just a few upper leaves with the most delicate of washes, our eye then focuses on the accomplished pencil mark tangle of unfurling leaves towards the base of the stem.
One contemporary source, an article by author Desmond ChapmanHuston, suggests that Mackintosh produced this proliferation of flower studies for a book commissioned by a German publisher, the outbreak of war preventing its publication. It could also have been a deliberate move towards more commercial subject matter as Mackintosh had just quit his architectural practice in Glasgow. He left the recession-bound city under a cloud; his reputation tarnished by rumours of alcoholism. From what we can infer from this beautiful series of drawings, the tranquillity of the coastal village provided him with an opportunity to re-sharpen the clarity of his artistic vision, with many followers holding the Walberswick sketches among his finest work.
“Art is the flower – Life is the green leaf. Let every artist strive to make his flower a beautiful living thing –something that will convince the world that there may be – there are – things more precious – more beautiful –more lasting than life”

Lt Col. Oswald Arthur Gerald Fitzgerald (1875–1916) was personal military secretary to Lord Kitchener (1850–1916). Both men died in the sinking of HMS Hampshire off Marwick Head, Orkney, on 5 June 1916. Fitzgerald’s body was not buried at Lyness on the island of Hoy, with others recovered from the sea, but was taken instead to Ocklynge Cemetery, Eastbourne, Sussex, where his father was buried. The design shows an upright stone slab 7 feet (2.13 m) high and just over 3 feet (0.91 m) wide at the base, framed at the top and sides by mouldings of a stepped profile. The angular mouldings have similarities with some of the stone carving at Scotland Street School and with later decorative work by Mackintosh, especially the hall fireplace at 78 Derngate, Northampton. The classical victor’s laurel wreath and the military badges above and below the inscription speak the familiar language of soldiers’ memorials. It is not known how Mackintosh came to make the design, or who commissioned it. Fitzgerald had served for some years with Kitchener in India, and it may have been through Mackintosh’s association with Patrick Geddes’s Indian town planning work in 1915–16 that the job came his way. The monument ultimately erected over Fitzgerald’s grave is very much simpler and in no sense a realisation of Mackintosh’s design, although it contains faint echoes of the original drawing offered here and suggests that whoever carved it may have had access to Mackintosh’s design.

ANNA MUTHESIUS (1870-1961)
DAS EIGENKLEID DER FRAU, 1903
84 pp., with 14 plates, cover illustration and remains of original green silk ties. Krefeld, Kramer & Baum, 1903.
16cm x 12.8cm
Note: This book bears an Art Nouveau binding designed by Frances Macdonald McNair, who with her husband J. Herbert McNair, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh made up a group of radical artists and designers known as ‘The Four’. The author Anna Muthesius and her husband Hermann, the architectural writer, became close friends with the ‘The Four’ after several trips to Glasgow and the Willow Tearooms. The book is considered a seminal text in the development of early twentieth-century women’s fashion. Muthesius believed women should have the freedom to choose their own clothes, styling and fabrics. Emphasis was placed on the rejection of the heavy, restrictive Victorian fashions of the day. The movement was also political in its aims, and part of wider societal moves to liberate women in both the public and private spheres. The book and the form of dressing that it championed represented an outlet for radical expression for women and aligned itself well with McNair’s artistic representation of the female form. The dresses were usually made by their designers and the book includes plates showing the Macdonald sisters wearing such dresses along with similar examples designed by Jessie Newbery and worn by her daughters, Mary and Elsie. The original pencil drawing for the cover image was sold in these rooms on 3rd November 2020, lot 361

St Mary’s Isle burnt down in 1941, and the Hope’s moved to Cowdenknowes, Earlston in the Scottish borders. When Captain Hope died he left the house to his nephew, Charles Burns
In 1947 her nephew Charles Burns went to South Africa and there gave Cowdenknowes and all his possessions to Moral Re-armament (also known as The Oxford Group) thus leaving his aunt Katie and sister Jean Burns homeless. Between them, Katie (as she was known) and Jean pooled resources and bought the house and estate off Moral Re-armanent. Katie made and embroidered all the huge curtains for Cowdenknowes, and the embroideries and samplers offered here.

In 1918 Percy Bradshaw contacted 20 of the leading illustrators of the day and commissioned each of them for a special illustration. Each artist was given an entirely free hand as to the subject, the only stipulation being that the painting or drawing should be representative of his/her technique and that each stage in its composition should be shown. Bradshaw then reproduced in 6 plates each step in the artistic process and published the 6 lithographs in a portfolio with a 12-page introduction and description of the process within a card folder. The current lot represents the final drawing by Warwick Reynolds.
Other artists were Lawson Wood, F.H. Townsend, Fortunino Matania, Harry Rountree, Claude A. Shepperson, Bert Thomas, William Heath Robinson,
Frank Reynolds, Cyrus Cuneo, William Russell Flint, Charles Brock, Spenser Pryse, Edmund Sullivan, Balliol Salmon, H.M. Bateman, Louise Wright, W Hatherell, Dudley Hardy and Bernard Partridge.
Born in Islington, Warwick Reynolds was the son of a cartoonist and illustrator of the same name. He studied in London at the Grosvenor Studio and the St. John’s Wood Art School, and in 1895 began working as a magazine illustrator, eventually contributing to such publications as The Idler, Pearson’s Magazine, The Quiver and The Strand Magazine, among others. In 1906 he settled in Glasgow where he was employed as a staff artist at the Daily Record, he also exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and the Royal Scottish Academy.

This elegant figure in an elaborately draped dress belongs to a series of dancers conceived by Agathon Léonard, the Jeu de l’Écharpe, which was first exhibited at the Société Nationale des Beaux Art in 1897 as a project for a theatre foyer. The dancers in elegant poses are characterised by their delicate gestures, loose dresses and wide sleeves. They rapidly became Léonard’s most popular works and were produced in gilt bronze by the Susse foundry. The present bronze is a large-size Susse Frères cast of the ‘Danseuse à L’Écharpe, Genou Levé’, model no. 12, created between 1897 and 1899, the Susse edition produced from 1901. The carefully chased surface of the bronze produces a shimmer effect of light on the gilded surface.

Albert Cheuret was born in 1884 in Paris. He studied sculpture with Jacques Perrin, a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (fine arts school), and with Georges Lemaire. The artist began his career in 1907 and set up his studio at 11 Avenue Franco-Russe, near the Champ de Mars. Thereafter he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, part of a milieu that included Auguste Rodin, Antoine Bourdelle, and Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux.
After the First World War, Cheuret resumed his practice and secured several high-level commissions. His work is imbued with the clean lines of the Art Deco period and also bears the influence of images which began to appear after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, and the new language which it introduced into Western arts and crafts.
At the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1925, Albert Cheuret rented a stall along the Alexandre III bridge and presented his famous light fixtures in bronze and alabaster, his favourite materials.

Note: Ashley Havinden was a painter, typographer, graphic and textile designer. In 1922, when he joined W.S. Crawford – one of London’s largest advertising agencies – he had not received any formal art training. He subsequently took evening classes in design and drawing at Central School of Arts & Crafts (1922-23) and received private drawing lessons from Henry Moore in 1933. The London Gallery held Havinden’s first solo exhibition in 1937. Two years later he was one of the nine British artists to feature in an exhibition of abstract paintings held at the Lefevre Gallery. He remained with W.S. Crawford for forty-five years becoming art director in 1929 and vice-chairman in 1960. During this time, Havinden was given full freedom to develop his distinctive style, working on campaigns for Martini, Liberty’s and Chrysler, amongst others. Meanwhile, he produced rug and textile designs for Duncan Miller Ltd and Edinburgh Weavers. For the V&A’s 1946 exhibition Britain Can Make It, he designed the Men’s Wear displays, as well as the exhibition catalogue cover. Havinden received an OBE for his services to British Design in 1951.

‘GIRL WITH PARROT’, 1933 bronze, signed and dated in the bronze RICHARD GARBE ARA/ 1933 40cm high £4,000-6,000
A prolific sculptor of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Richard Garbe initially learned his craft under the apprenticeship of his father, a carver of luxury ivory and tortoiseshell goods. Garbe’s emotive and often dramatic compositions take inspiration from the New Sculpture movement which aimed to convey a renewed sense of dynamism and physical realism, somewhat removed from the more stylised representations of neo-classical sculpture. Recognised for his versatility in working with ivory, bronze, clay and plaster, Garbe gained much praise for his work and was elected into the Royal Academy in 1929 after several nominations from contemporaries such as Frampton, Thornycroft and John Goscombe.

Exhibited: Rosemarkie, Black Isle Groam House Museum The Celtic Art of Geoge Bain, 2003, no.11
£2,000-3,000
George Bain was born in Scrabster in northern Scotland, and was an art teacher who almost single-handedly revived interest in Celtic and Insular art.
His book ‘Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction’ was published in 1951. Although it had little impact at the time, its re-issue in 1971 introduced a generation to Celtic knotwork, the Pictish stones, the Book of Kells and the Book of Durrow. As well as describing and illustrating over 200 historical examples, his book was notable for giving detailed instructions on creating similar interlace, spiral, and trumpet designs, and encouraging their use in craftwork.

The artist’s note on this sculpture reads “The Messenger is a sketch for the uppermost figure on the Axis Mundi group [cat. number 550]. The pose is based on that of Mercury by the Renaissance sculptor Giambologna, who in turn based his famous image on others, now lost, from Greek antiquity. This pose has been used by many artists through the ages, particularly in sculpture, and appears most recently on the cap badge of the Royal Corps of Signals. My figure is, unusually for this pose, female, and in the fullscale version, winged, as befits a Wise Virgin in her Apotheosis.”

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. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. 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
We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below.
(a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way.
(b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.
(c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.
3. WITHDRAWAL Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.
4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS
(a) Jewellery:
(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future.
(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report
if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report.
(iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.
(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.
(b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/ newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.
(c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no
warranties are given.
(d) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300.
(e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.
(f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

1. THE PURCHASE PRICE
For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 26% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £20,000, plus 25% from £20,001 to £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,
229
“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 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
(b) the only method of establishing that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the Lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the Lot; or
(c) There has been no material loss in value of the Lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading. This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the Lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the Lot must:
(a) notify us in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the Lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and
(b) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale.
We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the Lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of Lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the Lot. We shall not be bound by
any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original Purchase Price paid (the successful Hammer Price, plus the Buyer’s Premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon & Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest.
3. YOUR WARRANTIES
(a) You warrant that the funds used for settlement are not connected with any criminal activities, including tax evasion and You are neither; under investigation, have been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities or other crimes.
(b) Where You are bidding on behalf of another person You warrant that:
(i) You have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate Buyer(s) of the Lot(s) in accordance with all relevant anti-money laundering legislation, consent to us relying on this due diligence, and You will retain for a period of not less than five years the documentation evidencing the due diligence. You will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by a third party auditor upon our written request to do so;
(ii) The arrangements between You and the ultimate Buyer(s) in relation to the Lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes, and;
(iii) You do not know, and have no reason to suspect that the funds used for settlement are connected with the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate Buyer(s) are under investigation or have been charged with or convicted of money-laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.
