Provenance: Private Collection, Essex since circa 1920

Literature: V&A Accession no W. 1-1991

£7,000-9,000

Note: Edward William Pugin inherited his father’s architectural practice and followed the same principles when designing furniture. His father had explained his wish to create furniture, which ‘could come moderate and suit gothic homes’. ‘Good bracing’ was to him essential, and ‘The strength of wood-work is attained by bracing the various pieces together on geometrical principles. This is beautifully exemplified in ancient roofs, either in churches or domestic buildings; the constructions of these, so far from being concealed is turned into ornament’. Furniture by Pugin and his son continued to be manufactured by firms such as J. G. Crace, Holland & Son and Gillows of London and Lancaster throughout the 19th century.

These chairs in this group are very closely related to chairs designed by E. W. Pugin for the Grange, his family home, in Ramsgate in about 1864. The Grange was designed and built circa 1843 by his father A. W. N. Pugin who also designed the original furniture. After A. W. N. Pugin’s death in 1852, the house was let until 1864 when the Pugin family returned.

E. W. Pugin inherited his father’s architectural practice and followed the same principles when designing furniture. This chair shows A. W. N. Pugin’s preference for revealed construction in the pegs holding the legs and stretchers together. E. W. Pugin combined his father’s ideas with new details of his own such as the broad back support.

43.5cm wide, 85cm high, 47cm deep £500-800

ATTRIBUTED TO CHARLES BEVAN (1815-1891) FOR MARSH & JONES, LEEDS OCCASIONAL TABLE, CIRCA 1870 walnut, with marquetry inlay 45.5cm diameter, 68.5cm high £1,500-2,000

Note: The firm of Marsh and Jones was founded in 1864 when John Marsh and Edward Jones acquired the upholstery and cabinet making business of John Kendall and Co. , 10 West Bar, Leeds. Kendall and Co. was a well-established business and had exhibited furniture at major exhibitions from 1850 onwards. In the early 1860s they had collaborated on work with the London firm of C. Seddon and Co. whose leading designer was John Pollard Seddon (1827-1906), the great-great-grandson of the firm’s founder, George Seddon. A sideboard designed by J. P Seddon and illustrated in J. Cooper, Victorian and Edwardian Interiors, London 1987, pl. 191, was made by the two firms in partnership and bears certain similarities to the above lot.

The design of the ‘Geometric Gothic’ furniture manufacture by Marsh and Jones is usually ascribed to Charles Bevan on the basis of the

renowned bedroom suite (now at Lotherton Hall) supplied by the firm to Titus Salt Jnr. in 1865. The Building News of 1 March 1867 illustrated Bevan’s design for a concert grand piano and describes ‘the whole of Mr Titus Salt’s furniture’ as being designed by Bevan. Research has supported the fact that it may be that the characteristic features of the furniture traditionally attributed to Bevan are in fact features more specific to the firm and it has been suggested that Bevan may have trained under John Seddon and C. Seddon and Co.

It seems likely that Marsh and Jones may have continued the link with Seddon and Co, and were possibly utilising the designs of John Seddon. Later the designer Bruce Talbert who was trained under John Seddon certainly went on to work independently as a designer for Marsh and Jones.

CHARLES LOCKE EASTLAKE (1836-1906)

DRESSER, CIRCA 1870

oak, with brass fittings, carved inscription COMEDE CUM LAETITIA CIBUM TUUM ET BIBE ANIMO HILARI VINUM 152cm wide, 205cm high, 64cm deep

Literature: Eastlake, C. L. Hints on Household Taste, Longmans, Green & Co. , 1878, pl. XI, where a similar ‘Dining-room sideboard’ is illustrated; Cooper, J. Victorian & Edwardian Furniture & Interiors, London, 1987, p. 108, pl. 241 (design drawing illustrating a similar sideboard). Note: Whilst Eastlake did not directly execute furniture himself, an engraving of this design was published in his Hints on Household Taste and has subsequently been reproduced in Jeremy Cooper’s Victorian & Edwardian Furniture & Interiors. Eastlake advocated simple furniture that was geometric in form with a strong preference for rectangular and square elements and gentle curves. He was reacting against the decorative excesses he felt were widely evidenced at the Great Exhibition of 1851. He also promoted the use of solid wood without elaborate inlays and executed using traditional methods that recalled the work of earlier English makers of the Gothic period. He recommended the use of inspirational mottos on furniture and in this instance the sideboard bears the Latin inscription COMEDE CUM LAETITIA

CIBUM TUUM ET BIBE ANIMO HILARI VINUM, which can be translated as ‘Eat your bread with joy and drink wine with a cheerful spirit’.

SIR EDWARD BURNE-JONES (1833-1898) FOR MORRIS & CO.

‘ABRAHAM’ STAINED GLASS PANEL, 1909

stained, leaded and painted glass 123cm x 44.5cm (frame size 128.5cm x 50cm)

Provenance: The Chapel of Cheadle Royal Hospital, Cheshire

Literature: Sewter A. Charles The Stained Glass of William Morris and his Circle, Yale University Press 1974, nos. 401, 428, 539

Note: The contribution to the medium of stained glass by William Morris and his principal collaborator Edward Burne-Jones 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. The design for ‘Abraham’ was first employed in the scheme for St John the Devine, Frankby in 1873 at Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge in 1873-4, and further at St Martin’s, Brampton in 1878. 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. ’

Literature: Sewter A. Charles The Stained Glass of William Morris and his Circle, Yale University Press 1974, p. 117

Note: The design for ‘St. Joseph’ was first employed in the scheme for Church of St Matthew and St James, Mossley Hill, Liverpool in 1883. The original drawing for this window is held in the collections of the Huntington Library, San Marino, California (2000. 5. 1918e William Morris Collection).

Morris & Company Catalogue, circa 1914, p. 27, no. 519 where a line drawing of this table design is illustrated.

Note: This scarce table designed by Philip Webb for Morris & Co. is based on an original design by Webb for Red House in Bexleyheath which he also designed for his friend William Morris in 1859. Two tables were made for the hall, described later by May Morris as ‘the first one’. Early examples of the table, including one made for the Burne-Joneses at the time of their marriage in 1860, were made by major Gillum’s Boy’s Club in the Euston Road. Morris approved of the solid joinery construction, disliking furniture that was ‘so very light as to be nearly imponderable; it should be made of timber rather than walking sticks. The original design was adapted by Webb for sale at Morris & Co. and proved to be an enduring model for the firm, still appearing as a design in their catalogue as late as 1914.

Andrews J. Arts and Crafts Furniture, Woodbridge, 2005, p. 50, pl. 45

Note: In 1861 Philip Webb began collaborating with William Morris at Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. (later Morris & Co. ). The design for the current table originally dates to this period, adapted from a table Webb designed for Edward Burne-Jones in the 1850’s. The firm later produced several related examples for high-profile commissions, including Standen House, Sussex for the Beale family, Swan House, Chelsea and for the library at Tangley Manor, where Webb made alterations and additions and Morris provided the decorations. The current lot is also thought to be a variant of the original design, adapted as a special order without the central column which is replaced by a carved boss.

Literature: Evans, S. , Liddiard, J. , Arts and Crafts Pioneers, The Hobby Horse Men and their Century Guild, London, 2021, p. 117, fig. 5. 30 (this example illustrated). Note: This piece was probably made for the drawing room of Pownall Hall in Cheshire. The Century Guild had already decorated the dining room of the property owned by the brewer Henry Boddington. This cabinet was likely designed by Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo and demonstrates the Century Guild’s preference for emphasising verticality over horizontal axis, while the roundel inlay designs by Selwyn Image express something of the Guild’s admiration for French Art Nouveau furniture by the like of Emile Gallé. The design drawings for the roundels are held in the collection of the William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow (cat. no. A 194 a-c) and there is also a table similarly decorated with a tulip roundel (cat. no. G 39).

The Saint Louis Museum of Art holds a related cabinet acquired from Paul Reeves (Stuart Evans, ‘Putting Together the Pieces’, The Decorative Arts Society, no. 31 [2007), fig. 14), and the Colchester and Essex Museum has a Century Guild box with similar inlay (Gillian Naylor, The Arts and Crafts Movement, Norwich, 1980, no. 38g).

Note: Winning the competition to build the new Northampton Town Hall at the age of twenty-nine established Godwin’s reputation as a leading civic architect. He followed this with another winning town hall design for Congleton, a small town near Manchester. These successes prompted his move to London in 1865, and in 1866 Godwin, with his partner Henry Crisp, entered the competition for the building of the new Bristol Assize Courts under the nom de plume ‘1066’ or ‘Ten Hundred and Sixty-Six’. Their designs won first, second and third prizes. Despite this, and amid protestations, a second competition was order by the town council, which Godwin again entered, this time only gaining second place to an entry from Popes & Binden, which was the one finally built.

He initially trained in metalwork with Benson, whose design aesthetic can be seen in this scarce sconce, before setting up his own workshop in 1908. In keeping with the Arts & Crafts aesthetic, Rathbone’s work proved popular and he is known to have produced metalwork designs for Mackmurdo, Heywood Sumner and C. F. A. Voysey. Rathbone also taught metalwork classes at Liverpool University, where Harold Stabler later joined him in 1903. By 1905 he moved to London to take a position as Head of the Art School at the John Cass Institute.

Wood rejected large-scale commercial practice and worked with a small number of assistants designing furniture, stained glass, sculpture, metal, and plasterwork as well as buildings. Many commissions were from friends and family in Middleton, Huddersfield and Hale, Cheshire. Influenced by the artistic and socialist writings of William Morris, he saw himself as an artisan serving the people of these localities. He was a founder of the Northern Art Workers’ Guild, set up by Walter Crane in 1896, one of the major provincial societies within the Arts and Crafts Movement and was president of the Manchester Society of Architects from 1911–12.

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.

The Collins and Co. mark was used between 1915 and 1919, after which the DMW stamp was used.

C. F. A. VOYSEY (1857-1941) FOR ALEXANDER MORTON & CO.

‘THE DULEEK’ HANGING, CIRCA 1900

Jacquard-woven wool double cloth, with later linen border and lining 260cm x 113cm, 278cm x 128cm including border

Provenance: Phillips, Edinburgh Late 19th and 20th Century Decorative Arts, 26th April 1996, lot 390

Collection of Ann and Gordon Getty

Literature: V&A accession no. CIRC. 886-1967

Note: The design was originally used as a wallpaper and was later adapted by the manufacturer Alexander Morton for this woollen textile, for transparent gauzes and for carpeting. Voysey’s stylised birds and trees became his trademark, and symbolic of the Arts & Crafts movement. The fabric was sold through Liberty’s shop in Regent Street. By the end of the 19th century the shop created what was described as ‘a new English period’ establishing a reputation as the main retailer of British Arts and Crafts goods.

Literature: Thomas Elsley Ltd. Catalogue of Designs by C. F. A. Voysey, Architect, no. 330, where this example is illustrated as a line drawing.

Voysey C. F. A. Reason as a basis of art, 1906 p. 24.

£3,500-5,000

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?”

CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (1868-1928)

‘GRASS HYACINTHE’, 1915 pencil and watercolour, signed with initials CRM and MMM, inscribed and dated lower centre GRASS

HYACINTHE/ WALBERSWICK/ 1915

27cm x 20cm (frame size 42cm x 35cm)

Provenance: Cyril Gerber Fine Art, Glasgow

Collection of Donald and Eleanor Taffner

Private Collection

£20,000-30,000

Note: Charles Rennie Mackintosh is today celebrated as a leading pioneer of modernism and his 1915 enigmatic pencil and watercolour sketch ‘Hyacinthe’, dates from a period of great change and turbulence for the artist. In June 1914, he and his wife Margaret Macdonald travelled from Glasgow to the Suffolk coastal town of Walberswick, economic recession having rendered Mackintosh’s home city increasingly hostile to his architectural business. The firm of which he was a partner had completed the celebrated Glasgow School of Art in 1909, but by the mid 1910’s was struggling to find work. Having split from the firm, Mackintosh journeyed to East Anglia for a countryside escape. ‘Hyacinthe’ is one of around thirty to forty similar works executed during his stay. It has been suggested that the series was commissioned by a German publisher, the progress of the prospective publication halted by the advent of World War I. Like many coastal towns in Britain, Walberswick became an artists’ retreat during the summer months, providing solace and inspiration to creatives including Philip Wilson Steer, E. A. Walton and Mary Newbery. Mary Newbery, was the daughter of Frances Newbery, headmaster at the Glasgow School of Art and friend of Mackintosh. It is thought that the Newberys encouraged Mackintosh to paint to help him come to terms with his disappointment and to heal his soul. Pencil and paper sketches were not a novel form to

Mackintosh, and in many ways represented a return to his former oeuvre. From his student days in the 1880s, he used sketches to process design ideas. His early drawings were more technical and regularly harnessed by the young artist as a means of experimenting with stylised plant forms to create patterns. Furthermore, nature-based subjects were familiar to the artist, having sketched the flora of his surroundings whilst on holidays in Britain and beyond from 1901. The Walberswick sketches, however, represent a shift in artistic style. Gone are the architectural explorations, replaced instead with a marriage of the technical botanical drawing and free, creative expression of the natural world. ‘Hyacinthe’ bears not only the monogram signature of Charles but also that of his wife Margaret, confirming her presence at the time of painting. The misspelled plant name is a common feature in his work, leading to speculation that he was dyslexic. The stay at Walberswick lasted fourteen months, its end only prompted by Charles’ arrest on suspicion of being a German spy, such was his tendency to study the East Anglian coastal landscape which aroused the suspicions of the local community. Artistically however it provided the artist with an opportunity to sharpen the clarity of his artistic vision, with many followers believing the Walberswick sketches to be amongst his finest works.

CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (1868-1928)

SKETCH FOR A BLOCK OF STUDIOS AND FLATS FOR THE ARTS LEAGUE OF SERVICE, GLEBE PLACE, CHELSEA pencil and bodycolour on tracing paper, laid down on board 13cm x 12.5cm (frame size 24cm x 28.5cm)

Provenance: The artist, by whom given to Major Desmond Chapman-Huston, by whom given to Francis Webb Private Collection

Exhibited: Glasgow, McLellan Galleries, Mackintosh Memorial Exhibition, May 1933. £15,000-20,000

Note: In early 1920, Mackintosh received several commissions for buildings on the site of Old Chelsea House, including designs for three studios for Arthur Cadogan Blunt, Harold Squire and Francis Derwent Wood. The Arts League of Service also commissioned this block of studios and flats for the south side of Glebe Place, facing Upper Cheyne Row. Founded in a spirit of idealism after the First World War, the Arts League of Service set itself the task of ‘placing within the reach of everyone higher forms of entertainment, and opportunities for the enjoyment of any art or craft’, and set out to bring the arts into everyday life. The dramatic design was never executed as the Arts League ran out of money, but its experimental form is one of Mackintosh’s most compelling late schemes.

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 twentiethcentury 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.

Literature: Moon K. George Walton: Designer and Architect, Oxford 1993, page 47-48, illus. no. 54

Note: These chairs were made for John Rowntree’s cafe in Scarborough where Walton developed a new style of furniture based on the French 17th century ‘caquetoire’ style. This French renaissance style was popular in Scotland in the 16th century and the strong links between the two countries ensured the style flourished well into the 17th century. These chairs would still have been seen in the more aristocratic homes in Scotland in the late 19th century and Walton here has taken the basic form and adapted it with the use of rushing to lighten the effect of the construction.

Literature: Moon K. George Walton: Designer and Architect, White Cockade 1993 Glasgow Museums - Collections Navigator, collections. glasgowmuseums. com, 2016 ‘Miss Cranston’, Glasgowlife. org. uk, 2016 £1,500-2,000

Note: This rare wall panel by George Walton (1867-1933) is characteristic of his work as a designer and decorator in the context of Glasgow’s artistic avant-garde during the late 19th century. Walton was a pioneering influence on the distinctive ‘Glasgow Style’, experimenting with mixed media wall panels and stained glass, such as this example of a glass mosaic overlaid with copper and pewter. Similar examples can be seen in his work for Miss Cranston’s tearooms at Argyle Street, for which he was commissioned, together with Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928), to redesign the interior in 1888. Walton’s panels combined coloured glass with bright beaten copper, creating light and reflective three-dimensional surfaces. Walton chose coloured glass for its distinct material characteristics which did not need to be overpainted.

Following this, George Walton & Co, Ecclesiastical and House Decorators, expanded to include the design and production of woodwork, furniture and stained glass. Walton, influenced by William Morris (1934-1896) and James Whistler (1834-1903), went on to work in almost every area of the decorative arts including; stencilling, fabrics, fireplaces, carpets, glassware and graphics to name a few, before finishing his diverse and innovative career as an architect.

White C. The Enchanted World of Jessie M King, Canongate 1989, p. 33, pl. 28 illustrated

£20,000-30,000

Note: This remarkable Art Nouveau drawing by Jessie M. King was the frontispiece design for ‘L’Evangile de L’Enfance’, for which she designed the binding and illustrations circa 1902. The book was entered as part of the Scottish Section of the 1902 International Exhibition of Decorative Art in Turin, which was organised by Fra Newbery, director of The Glasgow School of Art and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The binding, a striking Art Nouveau design tooled in gilt on white vellum, was executed by the Glasgow book binders, MacLehose and won the coveted Gold Medal for book binding at the exhibition. The certificate was made out to ‘Signor Jessie King’ such was the assumption that a man would be the recipient of the award. This success however brought with it a raft of publicity and commissions as articles about her work appeared in art journals around Europe.

Her achievement is all the more remarkable given the early point in her career. From 1899 her work was already beginning to attract attention, being selected for an exhibition at the Venice Biennale and illustrated regularly in The Studio magazine. This was followed by the offer of a teaching position in the department of Book Decoration and Design at the Glasgow School of Art, a role she undertook whilst a student at the same institution. This was a time of stylistic experimentation and evolution for King, as her characteristic two dimensional figures surrounded by halos and orbiting stars became increasingly abstract. At their furthest progression, her designs were entirely devoid of figural representation. This was the case in an 1899 cover design for ‘Rund um Berlin’ in which the spirits of her ethereal subjects are suggested purely through fine circles of ornamentation.

This frontispiece demonstrates the influence of continental and Scottish artists on King’s designs. The symmetrical arrangement of her figures possesses not only a German orderliness but also echoes the work of her Glasgow contemporaries, whilst retaining her particular sense of fantasy, which she maintained in her work throughout her career.

Note: After studying at the Düsseldorf Art Academy under Karl Janssen, Bernhard Hoetger travelled to Paris and settled there from 1900 to 1907. He became acquainted with artists such as Paula Modersohn-Becker, Käthe Kollwitz, Karl Hofer and Henri Rousseau. He was most interested by Rodin’s work, which strongly influenced his visual language in this early phase. As early as 1901, Hoetger achieved his artistic breakthrough with the sculpture “L’Aveugle (The Blind Man)”. This led to the first contact with Julius Meier-Graefe, director of the Art Nouveau gallery “La Maison Moderne”, who included Hoetger’s sculptures in the gallery’s sales catalogue alongside works by George Minne, Charpentier and others. His time in Paris, during which the present example was also created, ended in 1909 with Hoetger’s appointment as a professor at the Darmstadt artists’ colony.

L’exposition Internationale des arts decoratifs modernes a Turin 1902. Darmstadt: Alexander Koch, 1902. 4to, pp.[8],340, [1], publisher’s adverts., French text, text by George Fuchs and F.H. Newbery, illustrated throughout, 4 coloured plates, 2 tinted, Jessie M. King decorative title for Scottish section, on different paper, the “Papier de garde” (end papers) supplement are used as end papers, original Art Nouveau designed vellum gilt

30cm x 22.6cm

Extremely rare in this fine condition, this book was published in connection with the first international exhibition of modern decorative art, Turin 1902, which included architecture, interior design, painting, ceramics, metal works, book illustrations, typefaces, glass, etc. Participants included Holland, Scotland (the book includes an extensive article on Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School), Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Belgium, France, USA, Denmark, Sweden, England, and Japan. A special emphasis on the German contribution, with designs and typographical arrangement by Peter Behrens is also included.

The Turin Exposition of 1902 was the first to celebrate the emergence of the Art Nouveau style in Italy and is considered the first international exhibit of modern decorative art. Turin was a centre of liberal ideas and creativity and thus a receptive environment for Imported modernism with work exhibited by Behrens, Mackintosh, Olbrich, et al. Italian artisan workshops and individual craftsmen such as Carlo Bugatti were also featured. The exposition was concerned also with the renewal of Italian architecture. A bold, exuberant, stylistically appropriate setting was created by Raimondo D’Aronico, at that time the chief architect to the Sultan in Constantinople. His work for the exposition was influenced by a visit to the Darmstadt Artist’s Colony designed by Joseph Olbrich. His entrances, pavilions and exhibition and administrative buildings are illustrated in the first section of the present book, which deals with architecture.

£3,000-5,000

Note: Two near identical versions of this design exist, the key difference being on the other version a knight is given an extravagant moustache. This has led to the supposition that King made use of this embellishment to disguise an accidental ink blot in the making of the binding. Almost contemporaneous to this work is the binding for ‘L’Evangile de L’Enfance’. The latter was entered into the Turin Exhibition of 1902, where it received such acclaim as to be awarded a Gold Medal. For a woman to receive this accolade was highly unusual, as is demonstrated by the certificate being made out to ‘Signor Jessie King’. King’s achievement is all the more remarkable given the early point in her career, as she was at this time both teaching and studying at the Glasgow School of Art.

PHOEBE ANNA TRAQUAIR (1852-1936)

‘SEEK YE MY FACE’ ENAMEL TRIPTYCH, DATED 1906 enamel with foil on copper, within a patinated copper frame and stand, probably designed by Ramsay Traquair (1874-1952) and made by J.M Talbot, inscribed in gilt to the front in the enamel SEEK YE MY FACE/ THY FACE

LORD WILL I SEEK, signed twice with artist’s monogram and dated 190*, inscribed verso in the copper I WILL LAY ME DOWN/ IN PEACE, AND TAKE/ MY REST, FOR IT IS THOU,/ LORD, ONLY, THAT MAKEST/ ME TO DWELL IN SAFETY with artist’s monogram and date, 1906 overall height 16.8cm, central enamel panel 3.5cm x 5.3cm, side panels 3.5cm x 2.4cm

Literature: Cumming E. Phoebe Anna Traquair 1852-1936, 1993, p. 81, no. 96 and p. 36, no. 89, illus. £6,000-8,000

Note: Phoebe Anna Traquair (1873-1936) was an Edinburgh-based artist who was an important member Arts and Crafts Movement. She was one of few late Victorian women who managed to balance her traditional family responsibilities with a successful, internationally recognised artistic career. This is emphasised in the fact that she was the first woman to be given honorary membership of the Scottish Royal Academy, in 1920. Her specialities included mural painting, manuscript illumination and enamelling.

This devotional triptych is almost identical to one in the collection of the V&A Museum (V&A M. 189-1976). It is thought Traquair made four versions of this triptych, two of which were originally owned by the Carmichael family. The enamelled scenes represent ‘Love, Comforter of the Night’, flanked by ‘Evening’ and ‘Morning’, all of which Traquair also produced as single enamels set as pendants. The reverse of the central panel has an engraved message taken from the Bible: ‘I will lay me down in peace and take my rest for it is thou, Lord, only, that makest me to dwell in safety’ (Psalm 4:8). The exterior surface of the side-panels is also enamelled and shows a quotation from Psalm 27:8, ‘Seek ye my face; They Face Lord will I seek’.

The triptych is dated 1906, when Traquair was at the height of her enamelling career. It is estimated that she produced around 150 enamels over the course of her career, with at least 80 made between 1901 and 1906. She was particularly attracted to enamel work because of the bright colours that it created, which she further heightened through the use of metal foil fragments.

The form, subject and style of this triptych are entirely typical of Traquair’s work. They reflect her belief in the moralising purpose of art and her love of Italian Renaissance artists such as Fra Angelico. The central panel’s red flowers against a green ground and the rainbow sky, indicating dawn or dusk, are features repeatedly used by Traquair and can be seen on another of her triptychs The Red Cross Knight, of which there are two known versions. The copper mount for the present example, like her others, would have been designed by her son, Ramsay, based on Renaissance metalwork forms that they researched together.

The first few decades of the twentieth century were a turbulent era for Columbian art. Bogota born sculptor Romulo Rozo (18991964) sat at the heart of this changing artistic climate, educated within and inspired by both European and indigenous artistic traditions. His work’s incorporation of Pre-Columbian motifs and myth resulted in him becoming an enduring figurehead for the art of his homeland and its distinctive identity. Colonial activities in Colombia and movement of artists between Europe and Latin America fostered strong Spanish and French influences in the art scene in Columbia at the conclusion of the 19th century. The founding of the School of Bogota at the start of the 20th century however, heralded a desire to free Colombian art from European models. Nevertheless, just a couple of decades later and under political pressure to promote Spanish heritage as a model for society and the arts, the pendulum swung back the other way, as the Circle of Fine Arts was established. This organisation favoured artists following the academic tradition seen in Madrid. Rozo was born in Bogota in 1899 and first enrolled at the National School of Fine Arts in his home city. As was politically popular, he then followed a European training route, travelling to Spain where he studied for four years, before completing his education in Paris. Here he worked with sculptors including Paul Landowski, known for his work Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, and Antoine Bourdelle. This mixture of European and Latin American training is evident in his work La Musica. Executed in 1925, during his time in France, it reflects the two locations of Rozo’s training; the impressed decoration and highly textural protrusions have visual parallels in indigenous Columbian art, but the figure’s contrapposto pose and realistic form draw heavily on the European classical tradition. Executed in the same year as La Musica, the granite sculpture Bachué would become his most celebrated and famous work. To the indigenous Muisca people of modern-day Colombia, Bachué is the mother goddess of humanity. Rozo’s sculpture depicts the two parts of the Muiscan origin of humanity myth; the goddess emerging from the water holding a child and snakes returning to the lake having populated the earth. The sculpture reached its zenith at the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition in Seville, an extended exhibition celebrating the links between Spain and Latin

America. It sat in a fountain at the heart of the Columbian pavilion, the carvings and façade scheme of which were also designed by Rozo. Such was the impactful presentation of the almost life-size work that it was awarded a prize. This exposure and recognition thrust Rozo into the artistic spotlight and cemented Bachué as a landmark in Colombian art. Rozo’s sculpture was adopted as a symbol for what was later named the Bachué Group; artists and writers in the late 1920s looking to champion indigenous concerns within contemporary Colombian art. In June 1930 they published ’Monografia del Bachué’ in the newspaper El Tiempo, adocument regarded by some as their quasi-manifesto. The group sought a return to their country’s roots by putting local and indigenous culture foremost in the arts. The legacy of their work survives today under the Proyecto Bachué, a platform for managing activities related to Colombian arts and acting to promote and support contemporary creative enterprises. Bachué represented a pivotal moment in Rozo’s personal artistic development, by cementing the Pre-Columbian visual language in which he primarily would work for the rest of his life. Thus, La Musica provides a touchstone with Rozo’s period of self-discovery, as he experimented with combining European and Latin American models before fully embracing his roots. Further, the sculpture illustrates the wider cultural interests of the man behind the chisel. In addition to his artistic contributions, Rozo was involved in the Columbian musical offering at the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. He performed disguised as a peasant with the Columbian duo Wills and Escobar, their act showcasing another form of indigenous art. La Musicadepicts a musician deep in reverie, a state with which Rozo was perhaps familiar. After his success in Paris, Rozo relocated to Mexico in 1931 where he worked for ten years as a member of the Columbian government’s cultural department. Surrounded by Mayan culture, Rozo incorporated these influences into various projects, most notably in Monumento a La Patria in Mérida (1956). Despite his early acclaim, he died a poor man in Yucatan in 1964. Throughout his life he used art to pursue his indigenous ancestors with a tenacity bordering on the obsessive, La Musicarepresenting a crucial part of his search for an authentic creative identity.

His book ‘Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction’ was published in 1951.

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.

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.

any reports produced by the original purchaser of the Lot, and Reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense.
