A cabinet with similarities to the present pair and with identical marquetry to the doors is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, Access. W.32:1 to 33-1979. The design for the marquetry is among a collection of tracings, originally bound in a scrapbook inscribed ‘Tracings by Thomas Wilkinson from the designs of the late Mr. George Bullock 1820’ (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, unbound no.240). The tracing for this particular design is dated August 1816 (unbound number 240).

£5,000-7,000
Note: The rediscovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 1748 sparked a desire for Classical motifs in late 18th and early 19th century furniture design. Roman furniture made of bronze and marble survived the inferno of Vesuvius, buried for millennia by volcanic ash. Their discovery lead to a flurry of designs based on the Roman antique for those inspired by the Grand Tour. The lion monopodia, along with the female caryatid, were heavily used by the Romans and served to reinforce the notion of strength within the composition. Many examples of excavated tables used lion motifs, such as the solid bronze lion paw tripod centre table, unearthed in the House of Fabius Rufus, now on display in Parco Archeologico di Pompei (Acces. No. 13108). A marble tripod table with very similar lion monopodia to this piece was also discovered at Pompeii and now residues in the Naples Archaeological Museum. The designer of this console table clearly understood the antique antecedents, here using materials to simulate the bronze and marble of the originals.

Using salvaged bricks from the aftermath of the fire, Erith built a restrained square house with a symmetrical façade,

rising through three storeys to a pyramid roof with a central chimney stack. It incorporates some unusual features such as the external louvred shutters. At a time when many of his fellow architects were embracing functional modernism, Erith looked back to the classical past and the ideals of Andrea Palladio and Sir John Soane. He adapted and used classical architectural language for the home he created at Great House. Arthur Oswald, who wrote about the house in Country Life in 1950, observed that “while paying deference to the Georgian context, Mr Erith has designed a house that is unmistakably 20th century.” Great House was furnished through antique shop purchases, auction finds and inherited pieces. Much of the furniture is from the Regency period, in keeping with the style of the interiors, but the contents also included a rich and varied collection, juxtaposing Roman busts on classical columns, with early Italian maiolica, with paintings and works of art from a wide range of periods.

Highlights amongst the lots presented here include a Chinese side table, lot 298, made from hongmu wood and deeply carved with flying squirrel designs. This was probably commissioned by the last owner’s great-grandfather when he worked in Shanghai for Kelly & Walsh, a publisher of English language books. The pair of Empire mahogany fauteuils by Jacob Frères, lot 281, are fine examples of French style. There is also a striking sideboard, lot 280, in an interpretation of the Regency style, which was designed by Erith and made by Swiss joiner R. Shaub of The Chiswick Guild in London. Great House has been in the family of the original owners since it was built, and remarkably it has had no significant alterations in that period. However, nothing stays constant, and the time has come for the property to change hands and for some of the contents to find new homes. Lyon & Turnbull are pleased to offer the selected contents for sale.

342 FRENCH LOUIS XVI GILT BRONZE AND WHITE MARBLE MANTEL CLOCK BY LEPINE CIRCA 1780 the white enamel dial with black Arabic numerals and Arabic quarter markers, signed in puce ‘Lepine, A Paris’, the white marble pendule d’officer style case with beaded door with rose branch bow swag below, surmounted by a figure of winged Cupid descending on billowing clouds to greet a figure Venus with two doves between them, mounted on a white marble inverted breakfront plinth base with acanthus moulding, the front with a classical frieze of putti, on front toupie feet flanked by two pairs of column base feet, the twin barrel movement with silk suspended pendulum and outside countwheel, striking on a bell, the backplate signed ‘Delaruelle AParis’ 32cm wide, 39cm high, 14cm deep.
£1,000-1,500
Note: There is a limited corpus of known Lepine clocks from the same period with a similar composition to the present clock, all featuring a pair of gilt bronze figures representing allegories of love flanking the case incorporating doves. A similar model, signed Lépine, can be seen in the collection of the Residenzmuseum, Munich, another housed in identical case can also be found at Château de Fontainebleau [See Hans Ottomeyer and Peter Pröschel, “Vergoldete Bronzen”, 1986, p. 248, pl. 4.6.13]. That model also features an allegory of Cupid, this time in the guise of a putti, descending from the opposite side. The modelling and chasing of the clouds is nearly identical to the present clock and the framing of the figures around the case is similar. Another similar model, signed Lépine, resides in the Collection of the Louvre
Museum, Paris, and came from the collection of Queen Marie-Antoinette [See P. Kjellberg, La pendule française du Moyen-Age au XXe siècle, Les Éditions de l’Amateur, 1997, p.251 (pendule C) et 246 (pendule A), Archives nationales O13510)]. That model represents the “Return of Love” and shows figures of a winged putti offering a dove to a young maiden arranged in a similar posture around the clock. Both of those signed Lepine examples have very similar dials to the present clock, with the style of both the Arabic numerals and the signature near identical. Lépine’s early dials only had Arabic numerals for the hours and minutes, this was one of the firm’s specialities. He continued to use them until about 1789 when he reverted back to the more usual combination of Roman and Arabic numerals.

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. 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.

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.

We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements.

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.
