211 JOHN FAED R.S.A. (SCOTTISH 1819-1902) ’LOOK AFTER THE PENNIES’ Signed, oil on canvas 61cm x 76cm (24in x 30in) Provenance: Private collection, Scotland

£1,000-2,000

Note: John Faed was born near Gatehouse of Fleet, Kirkcudbrightshire. Artistic talent emerged early and between the ages of 11 and 12 he worked as an itinerant miniature painter fulfilling portrait commissions for Galloway aristocracy. In his late teens Faed moved to Edinburgh to study at the Trustees Academy, and was soon regularly exhibiting portraits and historical and genre scenes at the Royal Scottish Academy. Many of his compositions derived from the works of William Shakespeare, as well as Walter Scott and Robert Burns; more still depict characters and scenes inspired by his native Dumfries and Galloway. Look After the Pennies is set within a humble domestic interior, and demonstrates Faed’s exquisite handling of light and shade to articulate form: delightful details such as the soft light on the boy’s green woollen beret, the older woman’s hands, and the dust on the well-used spinning wheel exemplify his mastery. Faed’s paintings proved immensely popular to a Victorian audience in Britain, and he also had a significant following in the United States, in acknowledgment of which he painted an important posthumous equestrian portrait of George Washington (1856). Faed’s siblings James (1821-1911), Thomas (1826–1900) and Susan (1827–1909) were also successful artists.

In September 1805 Wellesley had just returned from India and was due to meet the Secretary of State in the Colonial Office at Downing Street. On entering the room he immediately recognized Nelson and since they were kept waiting by the Secretary of State they conversed for three quarters of an hour. Nelson was killed at the Battle of Trafalgar later that year. It is not clear whether our painting is a copy of the original painting by Prescott Knight or the engraving by S W Reynolds of 1864

Note: Robert Stevenson, FRSE, FGS, FRAS, FSA Scot, MWS (Scottish 1772–1850) was a civil engineer, designer and builder of lighthouses. His works include the Bell Rock Lighthouse. This is a copy of a marble bust of Stevenson by Samuel Joseph RSA (British 1791 – 1850), commissioned in July 1824 by the Northern Lighthouse Board.

233 BRASS MODEL OF THE BELL ROCK LIGHTHOUSE CIRCA 1900 on a rectangular base, unmarked 24.2cm high, 10.8cm wide, 16.5cm deep The Bell Rock lighthouse, engineered by Robert Stevenson, was built between 1807 and 1810. The masonry work was to such a high standard that it has not been replaced for over 200 years. It lies in a treacherous stretch of the North Sea, twelve miles east of Dundee. The lighthouse was built on a rock known as the Bell Rock (or Inchcape). According to legend the rock got its name because, in the 14th century, the Abbot of Arbroath had a warning bell installed on the rock, which floating debris, the winds and the sea would act upon to toll the bell and warn mariners of this approaching danger. Soon after installation the bell was carried off by Dutch pirates. The lighthouse had the first revolving light in Scotland. It was de-manned in 1988 and from then it has been remotely monitored from the Northern Lighthouse Board headquarters at 84 George Street, Edinburgh. It is still an active lighthouse today. Because of the engineering challenges that were overcome to build the lighthouse, it has been described as one of the Seven Wonders of the Industrial World.

332 FOUR SCOTTISH CARVED LIMEWOOD TABLEAU SCENES FROM TAM O’SHANTER, WORKSHOP OF THOMAS HALL TWEEDY CIRCA 1860 carved in high relief depicting Souter Johnnie and Tam O’Shanter conversing and drinking while the Miller and proprietress look on; Tam drunk outside the tavern preparing to ride into the night; the interior of the haunted church with witches and warlocks dancing while the Devil plays bagpipes and Tam watches at the window; and Tam spurring Meg across the Brig P’Doon as the creatures give chase and the witches pull Meg’s tail off; each in a glazed mahogany case (4) 68cm wide, 41cm high, 18cm deep

£1,500-2,500

Note: Based in Newcastle, Thomas Hall Tweedy (1816-1892) was a noted woodcarver working in England in the mid-nineteenth century. Tweedy was primarily a business man rather than a craftsman. It is recorded by his apprentice Ralph Hedley that he only saw him hold a tool once when he changed the figure of Miranda from a panel of the “Tempest” into a rock. However, he did have the gift of recognising skilled workmen and giving them employment thus enhancing his considerable reputation. A set of four carved tableaux from ‘Tam O’Shanter’ attributed to Tweedy are in the collection of the Robert Burns Museum, Ayrshire, and are stylistically very close to this set.

Victoria & Albert III launched in 1899 and was commissioned in 1901. Queen Victoria had to lobby in the parliament for multiple years to get the previous yacht replaced, the winning argument being that both the German Kaiser and the Russian Tsar had bigger and more modern yachts than she did. The ship was designed to look similar to the previous royal yacht, a side-wheel steamer. Unlike the ships of other monarchs of the time the vessel was purely a yacht, not a combination yacht and warship. After serving four sovereigns and having made sixty passages, she was decommissioned as royal yacht in 1939; then served as a depot ship in the Second World War, and was broken up in 1954.

The scenes were intended to point out the foibles of humanity and would have been humorous to an 18th century audience, who would have recognised the references to popular fables. The activities of the animals depicted are quite curious and specific and likely relate to a particular fable source. Anthropomorphic services created at Meissen are rare and few are in existence.

CONDITIONS OF SALE 22.3 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.

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.

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.

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.
