1 An interesting and unusual early carved marble plaque 53cm high by 113cm long by 6cm deep Provenance: Ex The Robert Scull Collection, New York This interesting piece which may possibly date to the late Roman period may depict the adoration of the disciples with the figure of Judas on the right hand side slipping through a doorway. £2000-4000

2 A rare carved white marble basin Italian, 16th/17th century 36cm high by 90cm long by 68cm deep Although heavily weathered, the carving on this piece with each corner sculpted with a different putto or grotesque head would certainly indicate an early date. These would probably have been designed for the courtyard or loggia of a Renaissance Italian Palazzo. £800-1200 3 A similar carved white marble basin 30cm high by 64cm square £300-500

4 A rare carved limestone armorial from La Suvera, Siena, country villa of Pope Julius II and the Ricci family carved in high relief with a hedgehog gazing at the sun Italian, mid 18th century 68cm high by 44cm wide Provenance: The Ricci family were established in Montepulciano, Southern Tuscany in the 12th century and owned La Suvera in 1123. Riccio de Ricci was an amateur weather forecaster, whose predictions were so accurate, he was believed to be a warlock engaged in the Dark Arts. To deflect the accusations, he claimed to make his predictions by observing the way hedgehogs scanned the sun. Since that time, the Ricci coat of Arms has incorporated a hedgehog gazing at the sun as in this rare Italian 18th century carved stone example. To this day the Italian for hedgehog is Riccio. This armorial which would have adorned another Ricci property was relocated to La Suvera following the repurchase of the villa by the Marquises Ricci who converted La Suvera to a Relais Hotel.

Following its recent closure this and the marble baths were removed. See also footnote to the next lot. £6000-10,000 For details of our buyers premium which is added onto the hammer price together with any other applicable charges please refer to our guide for prospective buyers

5 A pair of important carved Rosso Verona marble baths from La Suvera, Siena, country villa of Pope Julius II and latterly the Ricci family Italian Renaissance, 16th century 74cm high by 172cm long Provenance: Removed from La Suvera, the country villa of Pope Julius II. Pope Julius II born Giuliano della Rovere; (1443 -1513) was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal

4

States from 1503 to his death in 1513. Nicknamed the Warrior Pope or the Fearsome Pope, he chose his papal name not in honour of Pope Julius Ibut in emulation of Julius Caesar. One of the most powerful and influential popes, Julius II was a central figure of the High Renaissance and left a significant cultural and political legacy. As a result of his policies during the Italian Wars, the Papal States remained independent and centralised, and the office of the papacy continued to be crucial, diplomatically and politically, during the entirety of the 16th century in Italy and Europe.

In 1506, Julius II established the Vatican Museums and initiated the rebuilding of the St. Peter’s Basilica.

The same year he organized the famous Swiss Guards for his personal protection and commanded a successful campaign in Romagna against local lords. In 1508, he commissioned the Raphael Rooms and Michelangelo’s paintings in the Sistine Chapel.

Julius II was described by Machiavelli in his works as an ideal prince. Pope Julius II allowed people seeking indulgences to donate money to the Church which

would be used for the construction of Saint Peter’s Basilica.

After Pope Julius acquired La Suvera in 1508, the name deriving from the French word “Souveraine”, meaning Sovereign, he entrusted the famous Siennese architect and genius Petruzzi with the task of mitigating the severe Medieval style of the ancient fortress with sumptuous Renaissance taste. Petruzzi refined the building, joining the two original towers by means of a transept. The addition of a double portico and loggia completed his work, turning it into an imposing Renaissance villa.

La Suvera was not simply one of the personal properties of the Pope, it was also the place Julius II retired to every now and again for a little rest far from Rome. La Suvera passed down the line from Julius II to his descendants, the Della Rovere family. From Julius’ nephew, Niccolò della Rovere, it then returned to the Sienna banking family, the Chigis. Marriage, inheritance, and acquisition caused it to pass through the hands of a number of prestigious Siennese and Roman families until it reached

the current owners, the Marquises Ricci, whose family had already owned La Suvera in 1123. In recent times Marquis Giuseppe Ricci Paracciani and his wife Princess Eleonora Massimo adapted La Suvera into a Relais where guests could enjoy the sumptuous state rooms and extensive gardens. Following the closure of the Relais, the villa is now for sale.

These baths, which are of typically tapering form with a drainage hole, would originally have been incorporated into the villa before being moved to one of the courtyard gardens and planted out with flowers, probably sometime in the late 19th or early 20th century with the advent of modern plumbing and copper or cast iron baths. Although Rosso Verona marble is normally a deep pink in colour, over the centuries it mellows and becomes a lighter yellowy pink as in these baths which is a good indication that these date to the Renaissance period or shortly thereafter. £12,000-18,000

6 John Cheere: A rare lead figure of a fruit seller mid 18th century on later stone base and on stoneware pedestal the figure 130cm high, the pedestal 63cm high; 193cm high overall John Cheere was first in partnership with his brother Sir Henry Cheere, but took over John Nost’s yard and his moulds for lead figures in about 1739.

Until his death in 1787 he was the leading producer of lead statuary as well as working in plaster.

Contemporary accounts of his yard, which was situated on Hyde Park Corner indicate that his oeuvre was very varied and included rustic figures as well as classical statues and busts from antiquity.

During the 18th century, masked balls or fete champetres set in Arcadian settings of country houses or in London’s Ranelagh and Vauxhall pleasure gardens, were immensely popular. These were attended by fashionable society dressed as milkmaids, fruit and flower girls or in the costume of the commedia dell’arte.

This fascination with Arcadia was reflected in many art forms – for instance porcelain figures, but also in lead statuary in which numerous models were produced. Unlike porcelain however, the depredations of the weather and the intrinsic value of the material have resulted in very few period lead figures from the 18th century surviving. £5000-8000

7 A rare lead figure of Leda and the swan possibly by John Van Nost mid 18th century on stone base and later plinth the figure 110cm high, overall height 140cm Although it isn’t possible to make a positive attribution, this rare lead figure of Leda and the swan was produced by one of the leading producers of lead in the late 17th/early 18th century. Much of the lead sculpture of the time drew on the classics and this depicts Leda who was the daughter of the Aetolian King Thestius and was seduced by Zeus when the king of the Olympian gods took the form of a swan. The result of this union, which occurred on the banks of the River Eurotas, was an egg from which the beautiful Helen and Polydeuces were born. Leda is depicted wearing a crown as befitting her status as a princess, whilst the partial figure of the swan can be seen at the back of the piece.

Stylistically it is reminiscent of the van Nost family who were of Flemish descent. The eldest, John van Nost, is first recorded working at Windsor Castle circa 1678. He had his own yard by about 1687 and there manufactured ‘Marble and Leaden figures, Busto’s and noble Vases, Marble chimneypieces and curious Marble tables’. He is best remembered as a supplier of lead garden statues. Records from Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire show that each of the supplied statues cost between £20-30. After his death (circa 1712) his yard at Hyde Park Corner was taken over by his nephew Gerard and then by John van Nost the younger in 1729 who continued until the mid 18th century. £8000-12,000

up and run by a woman.

She was employed by all the leading late 18th century architects. From about 1777 she began her engraved designs, which were published in 1784 in a catalogue of over 700 items entitled A Descriptive Catalogue of Coade’s Artificial Stone Manufactory. Then in 1799, the year she entered into partnership with her cousin John Sealy, she issued a handbook of her Pedlar’s Lane exhibition Gallery. The firm became Coade and Sealy from this date and following Sealy’s death in 1813, it reverted to Coade and in 1821 with the death of the younger Eleanor Coade, control of the firm passed to William Croggan, who died in 1835, following bankruptcy. Coade’s manufactures resembling a fine-grained natural stone, have always been famed for their durability.

8 A Coade stone boundary marker plaque depicting the seal of St Olave’s school and its foundation date 1571 circa 1780/90 the underside stamped COADE’S Lithodipyra LONDON 30cm high by 25cm wide

8

Provenance: St Olave’s School, Tooley Street, London Eleanor Coade (d.1821) opened her Lambeth Manufactory for ceramic artificial stone in 1769, and appointed the sculptor John Bacon as its manager two years later. It was highly unusual in the Georgian era and earlier for a business to be set

These plaques are stamped Lithodipyra which is a word put together by Mrs Coade from three Greek words meaning stone, twice and fire. The di (twice) element in the word refers to the grog part of the formula and also to the crushed glass which was included, both of which were fired twice, once to produce

them and a second time when kneaded into fresh clay to form the Coade body. This clever marketing ploy reinforced a major element of Coade stone’s desirability, namely its durability.

Interestingly pieces stamped Lithodipyra were only manufactured in the 1780’s and 1790’s which gives us a pretty accurate timeframe in which they were made and since they are obviously very site specific, they would have been a one off commission.

Henry Leeke, a Southwark brewer, left a will on 13 April 1560 which gave £8 a year towards the founding and maintenance of a new free school. On 25 July 1571 letters patent were obtained which established the school as a grammar school. The charter stipulated that the school be called: The Free Grammar School of Queen Elizabeth of the Parishioners of the

Parish of Saint Olave in the County of Surrey.

Initially the school was housed in the old Vestry Hall of the church and its adjoining premises (on the west side of Churchyard Alley, a narrow lane off the south side of Tooley Street, running parallel with Borough High Street).

Although the school was untouched by the Great Fire of Southwark, major renovation and extension was undertaken in 1676 after the fire. These unusual plaques bearing the date of the school’s founding in 1571, date to around 1780-1790, prior to the school’s relocation to Bermondsey in 1829. The school has subsequently moved a number of times and is now located in Orpington, Kent.

Alison Kelly, the renowned doyenne of Coade stone charmingly remarks in her book, Mrs Coade’s Stone records under St Olave’s Tooley St School; “Oblong plaque found at New Malden and believed to be a boundary marker. Marked COADE’S LITHODIPYR, St OL, therefore probably 1780s-1790’s. Shows schoolmaster and boys in attempted Elizabethan scene representing school’s

date. Present whereabouts unknown” She further records the Architect of the school as Samuel Robinson 17521833.

Mrs Coade appears to have taken as her inspiration an already existing circular engraved woodcut of the school, probably contemporary with its foundation which is still in use as the school seal today.

13 A pair of rare Blanchard’s terracotta eagles late 19th century each with indistinct makers stamp Blanchard Terracotta London 64cm high Mark Henry Blanchard served his apprenticeship with the Coade Company and around 1839 established his

10

own manufactory in London. It is believed that in 1883 he moved his workshops to Bishops Waltham, to be nearer to the source of clay that he used. By the middle of the Century he had emerged as the leading manufacturer of terracotta in Britain, he was awarded prizes for his exhibit at the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Amongst the many properties where his produce can be seen is the South Kensington Museum (now the Natural History Museum). £2500-4000

14 A pair of Coade style terracotta sphinxes late 19th/early 20th century one bearing the stamp Coade, Lambeth 80cm high by 102cm long This sphinx model appears in the Catalogue of Coade’s Artificial Stone Manufactory published in 1784.

Rolls Royce built its Nightingale Road site to move production of the Silver Ghost car to Derby from Manchester in 1908. It later became synonymous with the Merlin engine, which powered the Lancaster Bomber, the Spitfire and the Mustang.

The following 42 lots came from a private collection in Ireland which was acquired by an Irish businessman from the 1960’s onwards. From his house in the middle of Ireland he was able to cover all the large country house sales at a time when so many were being sold and their contents dispersed. The collection includes rare 18th century examples carved in Kilkenny marble, lots 35, 36 and 37 as well as works by the foremost producers of artificial stone, Austin and Seeley produced in the latter half of the 19th century, lots 59 to 61. Amongst the marble pieces and of particular note, are the carved white marble fountain, which formed the centrepiece of the garden, lot 44 as well as the now sadly weathered marble group lot 40.

35 A rare Kilkenny marble cistern of oval form on stand 18th/19th century on associated square plinth 69cm high by 76cm wide £2500-4000 Kilkenny marble or Kilkenny black marble is a finegrained very dark grey carboniferous limestone found around County Kilkenny in Ireland in the “Butlersgrove Formation”, a Lower Carboniferous limestone that

30

contains fossils of brachiopods, gastropods, crinoids and corals. The first and main source was the “Black Quarry” in the townlands of Archersgrove and Gallowshill just south of Kilkenny city, which was used from the 17th to the 19th century. Kilkenny is nicknamed “the Marble City”; the footpaths of the city streets were paved with Kilkenny marble flagstones, which were highly polished with wear glistened when wet.

Large rough-hewn blocks were transported from the Black Quarry on horse-drawn drays the short distance to the River Nore, then onto small river floats or barges and brought about 3 kilometres down-river to Milmount where it was worked. A weir on the river provided water to drive reciprocating cross-cut saws to cut the larger blocks into the finished shapes required for the market.

As well as in several local buildings, including Green’s Bridge, Kilkenny marble was used in Cobh Cathedral and Bowen’s Court in County Cork; Lissadell House, County Sligo; the headstone of Daniel O’Connell in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin; the altar of St Patrick’s Church, Belfast; and the plinth of the 2015 tomb of Richard III of England in Leicester Cathedral. In 1878, Bishop Thomas Francis Hendricken, a native of Kilkenny, and 1st Bishop of Providence, Rhode Island USA, laid a large block of Kilkenny marble as the cornerstone of his new cathedral.

Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul (Providence, Rhode Island).

It is rare to find smaller sculptural pieces in Kilkenny marble, not least because of its extreme hardness and propensity to fracture whilst being carved. This Kilkenny marble cistern has been carved to a remarkable degree of delicacy which is only less than 4cms deep at its narrowest point on the sides. If the purchaser of this lot chooses to have it polished, this should bring out the richness of the material with natural fossil inclusions.

After Canova: A carved Portland stone figure of Venus

circa 1860

178cm high

122cm high

When the Medici Venus was forcibly removed from the Tribuna of the Uffizi by Napoleon’s forces, King Louis I of Etruria commissioned Antonio Canova to replace the figure. True to nature, Canova submitted a wholly original figure to rival the antiquity, despite originally being asked to sculpt a copy. Canova’s Venus references the Medici Venus in the turn of the neck, but leans slightly forward, adding greater finesse to the proportioning of the figure. The Neoclassical composition also incorporates drapery which is used by Venus to conceal her nudity.

£2500-4000

late 19th/early 20th century

Canova subsequently made a number of versions, including examples for the Marquess of Lansdowne, the Marquess of Londonderry and, ironically, for Napoleon’s brother Lucien. It is unusual to find a model carved in Portland stone. £2500-4000

59 After the Antique: An Austin and Seeley composition stone figure of the crouching Venus mid 19th century 94cm high Felix Austin went into business in 1828 having bought moulds from a firm that had gone out of business. He established works in New Road, London, describing himself variously as an architect, statuary mason and sculptor as well as artificial stone maker. His material was not the same as the ceramic body used by Mrs Coade but made from Portland cement, broken stone, pounded marble and coarse sand (The Builder 1868). However, like Mrs Coade, he encouraged leading architects and designers to work for him. Around 1840 he entered into partnership with John Seeley.

Seeley had trained at the Royal Academy Schools and also made an artificial stone which he called artificial limestone, before entering into partnership with Austin. In 1841 they published their first catalogue, Pleasure Grounds etc. from their address in New Road. The preface begins “Austin’s Artificial Stone is of a light tint, requires no painting or colouring, will not sustain injury from the severest winter, and being impervious to wet, is particularly applicable to all kinds of water works. Its superiority is now so thoroughly established, that the most eminent architects and scientific gentlemen have expressed, in their highest terms, their approbation of its durability, and close resemblance to the real stone”. £600-1000

69 A substantial Doulton stoneware urn on stand late 19th century 200cm high Although the firm of Doulton was established

by John Doulton in 1815, it wasn’t until the latter half of the 20th century that the company expanded its line of ceramics into decorative wares including a range of garden ornaments including figures fountains and urns.

Sir Henry Doulton died in 1897 and his son Henry Lewis Doulton took charge

48

of the company. A limited company was formed on 1st January 1899 called Doulton & Co. Ltd. The company was granted the Royal Warrant in 1901, which gave it the right to use the word ‘Royal’ in its title, hence Royal Doulton. £1500-2500 70 An rare Doulton stoneware urn late 19th century 91cm high £300-500

71 A pair of Pulham stoneware urns late 19th century stamped Pulham’s terracotta Broxbourne 61cm high The Pulham company was established in 1820 but made terracotta from around 1846 on into the 20th century, with workshops in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. By the 1880’s the company was concentrating on garden and landscape ornaments. A catalogue of 1915, indicates that their wares were made of “Pulhamite” stone, which, is considered the best material for all designed stonework in connection with the garden for the following reasons: Pulhamite stone is more durable than natural stone, for it

never decays and never shells or flakes, cement is not used in its composition, it is a lighter substance, making more elegant productions than any other so called artificial stone.

This is an important point, as the sides of a Pulhamite vase give more space for soil. It is the colour of light stone. There is nothing deleterious to plant life in it, in fact, owing to the nature of the material, the opposite may be said in its favour.

We guarantee its durability, and can refer to work which has been exposed for 70 years. If desired we can reproduce in the antique style, and copies can be made from practically any existing examples.

The company held appointments to H.M. King Edward VII, H.M. King George V and H.M. Queen Alexandria. £600-1000

The Moore Collection

Dr Gerald Moore was a polymath, who ran a medical empire, a Safari Park and Motor Museum, while also painting, sculpting and writing novels, children’s books and poetry. Born in 1926, he spent his life in London, Kent, Sussex and retired to Devon where he died in 2018 at the age of 91.

In 1993 he sold the contents of Heathfield Park and its Motor Museum at Sotheby’s with the BBC filming a documentary of the sale. Summers Place Auctions’ director James Rylands and Dendy Easton, former director of Sotheby’s Sussex and Antiques Roadshow expert, were both involved in the last sale and remember Gerry well. James said: “Despite his diminutive physical stature he more than compensated with his larger than life personality and passion for art. We are naturally delighted to be involved in organising an auction on behalf of his family nearly 30 years after the original Sotheby’s sale.”

Gerald Moore

Gerald Moore was a friend of Sir Charles Wheeler and the original bronze was gifted by Gerald Moore to his old school Eltham College and at that time this resin copy was made.

A resin dancing figure in the style of Charles Wheeler 195cm high This variation on the Wheeler figure of Spring was made at the same time as a companion piece to the following lot. £1500-2500

Sir Charles Wheeler KCVO CBE PRA 1892-1974 was a painter and who exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy summer exhibition from 1914 to 1970. ‘Spring’ was shown at the 1930 summer exhibition. The model was Marguerite Kelsey

who sat to Meredith Frampton in 1928. She holds a seed in her right hand symbolising her personification. Flowers bloom in relief on her feet and are indented on the rest of her body. Wheeler discovered the model at an evening sketch class and said that she brought spring into his studio when it was midwinter.

Other sculptures by Wheeler include the Jellicoe Memorial Fountain in Trafalgar Square and figures on the Bank of England building.

He was President of the Royal Academy 1956-66. £2000-4000

Gerry Moore was not only a sculptor but also a very talented artist. From his selection of paintings one can see how his style changed with the times from the late 1950’s through to the 2000’s from Abstraction through to pop art and figurative painting. His paintings have been arranged in chronological order to indicate the progression of his style.

192 A magnificent pair of Sea Eagles by Duncan or Cullingford late 19th century 110cm high by 110 cm wide This magnificent pair of eagles was produced towards the end of the 19th century by one of the celebrated school of taxidermists that operated out of the north-east of England. This school specialised in placing their subjects against plain backgrounds so that the birds themselves could be focused on without any complication.

This way of proceeding called for the highest level of skill as there was nothing to distract from the effect of the work. This particular case is by Cullingford or Duncan. Their work is very similar and it is often impossible to separate the two. £6000-10,000 193 A magnificent pair of Great Horned Owls by Waters late 19th century 95cm high by 73cm wide This wonderful case is by J.B. Waters a late 19th century taxidermist who operated out of Aboyne in Aberdeenshire. His work is always of a very high standard and he often used the device of shaping his cases in an unusual way. This case displays two very large Great Horned Owls (a North American species) and is featured in the legendary book produced by Christopher Frost in 1987 titled A History of British Taxidermy. Frost might be called the Godfather of the current vogue for taxidermy, and his business The Enchanted Aviary was a mecca for the older generation of collectors. Today both his book and the business have acquired an almost mythical status. £3000-5000 For details of our buyers premium which is added onto the hammer price together with any other applicable charges please refer to our guide for prospective buyers

194 A Red Squirrel by Lowne, with label to rear early 20th century 34cm high by 28cm wide W. Lowne was a taxidermist from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk who operated from the 1870s until just before the outbreak of World War I. He specialised in East Anglian species but also often worked on exotic birds. £200-300

90

Kirk of Glasgow was a highly regarded taxidermist whose cases sometimes resemble those of Rowland Ward. They are always sought-after by those who collect antique taxidermy. £600-800

197 A rare pair of Bitterns by Hutchings of Aberyswyth with label late 19th century 90cm high by 87cm wide Hutchings operated in Aberystwyth and he is the best known of all the Welsh taxidermists who were working at the end of the 19th century and start of the20th. His work is characterised by its high quality and this quality is clearly demonstrated in this case of two bitterns. £3000-5000

202 An exceptional Pike in bow fronted case by Cooper early 20th century label to interior 57cm high by 138cm wide This enormous pike equalled the size of the largest that was ever stuffed by any of the famous Cooper family so celebrated for their fish taxidermy. It is featured in Fred Buller’s almost legendary book ‘The Domesday Book of Mammoth Pike (1979).

In the book Buller named

94

the fish ‘John Bourne’s Pike’ and records its weight as 42lb with a length of 48 and a half inches and a girth of 25 and a half inches. It was caught in 1908 at Lough Arrow, Ireland and soon after its capture articles were written on it in the Angler’s News and the Fishing Gazette; these were produced because the catch was considered so remarkable. More recently the fish was featured in Barry William’s book ‘The Domesday Book of English Fish Taxidermists (2020).

Curiously, John Bourne, the man who caught the pike had no interest in having it stuffed and he gave the fish to a man fishing nearby, a Mr. Thomas Phillips, a public house owner from Birmingham. Phillips immediately dispatched the specimen to Coopers in London, and it arrived two days after its capture.

After the fish had been preserved it stood for many years in the bar of the Crown pub in Ladywood, Birmingham. £8000-12,000

203 An Impressive Mallock barrel Salmon early 20th century 51cm high by 133cm wide P.D. Malloch was a celebrated Scottish taxidermist who operated out of Perth. During the last decades of the 19th century he realised that he could get a better result by casting fish (particularly salmon which are very oily and take months to degrease) rather than stuffing them.

His productions are much sought-after and, like the present example, are usually placed in unusual barrel-shaped display cases.

The following are examples of the terminology used in this catalogue. Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact.

In our opinion a work executed in the style of the renaissance but not necessarily of that period.

Please read carefully the terms of the Authenticity Guarantee and the Conditions of Business for Buyers set out in this catalogue.

Antonio Canova In our opinion a work by the artist. In the case of 19th century sculpture this indicates that the work was made in our opinion either by the artist or by a foundry or editor who had the rights to reproduce the artist’s original model either during the artist’s lifetime or for a defined posthumous period. (When the artist’s forenames are not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named).

Attributed to Antonio Canova In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category.

The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are original to the model or authorized by the sculptor’s studio or editor but not necessarily from the hand of the artist.

The term bearing the signature and/or date and/or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/ or date and/ or inscription have been added at a later date.

It is essential for buyers to satisfy themselves as to the condition of lots prior to the sale and to arrange their own insurance cover against loss and damage immediately after the sale. Please refer to the Conditions of Business for Buyers.

Manner of Antonio Canova In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date After Antonio Canova In our opinion a copy at a later date of a known work by the artist. In the 19th century this indicates that in our opinion the work was made by a foundry or editor at a later date and apparently without exclusive rights.

Italian 18th century In our opinion a work from that region and of that date.

Probably Italian 18th century In our opinion a work that is likely to be from that region and/or of that date but less certainty as to the region and/or date than is expressed in the preceding category.

For these purposes, “counterfeit” means a lot that in Summers Place Auctions Ltd reasonable opinion is an imitation created to deceive as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue (taking into account any Glossary of Terms). No lot shall be considered a counterfeit by reason only of any damage and/ or restoration and/or modification work of any kind (including repainting or over-painting).

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinion(s) of 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 (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely to have caused damage to the lot or likely (in Summers Place Auctions Ltd reasonable opinion) to have caused loss of value to the lot; or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of five (5) years after the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the Buyer and may not be transferred to any third party.

Summers Place Auctions Ltd has discretion to waive any of the above requirements.

Summers Place Auctions Ltd shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Summers Place Auctions Ltd decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports.

3. Before the Auction Pre-sale Estimates Pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers but all lots can realise prices above or below the pre-sale estimates.

Provenance In certain circumstances, Summers Place Auctions Ltd may print in the catalogue the history of ownership of a work of art if such information contributes to scholarship or is otherwise well known and assists in distinguishing the work of art. However, the identity of the seller or previous owners may not be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For example, such information may be excluded to accommodate a seller’s request for confidentiality or because the identity of prior owners is unknown given the age of the work of art.

Sealed bid- How it works Our sealed bid auctions close at 4.oopm on the day after the live auction, but are on view at the same time and are included in the same catalogue with an illustration, description and estimate. Clients wishing to leave bids should do so in writing or by emailing a signed scanned page detailing lot numbers, brief description and the bid(s) which they wish to leave. All clients should also have registered with us beforehand and provided photographic identification.

Sealed bids, when placed by telephone, are accepted only at the the caller’s risk and must be confirmed by letter or e-mail to info@summersplaceauctions.com. You can also e-mail the completed sealed bid form to sealedbids@summersplaceauctions.com Next give us your bid(s). This can be done by filling in the bidding slip found in your catalogue.

If you are sending your bidding slip to Summers Place Auctions by post, please mark the envelope “Sealed Bid” so that we know it contains a sealed bid and do not open it accidentally. Bids and IDs may also be sent by e-mail. If you choose to send the bid electronically please email sealedbids@summersplaceauctions.com. This is a closed mailbox and will not be opened before the advertised time. However, we strongly recommend that if you have not viewed the sale in person, that you ask for condition reports on any lots you are thinking of leaving bids on.

Sealed bid auctions differ from established auctions in that the bid left is the bid that will be exercised in full. Therefore, if you decide to leave a bid of, say, £900 on the lot estimated at £800-1000 and there is no higher bid (where two identical bids are received, the earliest received bid will take precedence), £900 will secure the lot subject to buyer’s premium and VAT on the premium.

We will contact you if you have been the successful bidder to inform you of the lot or lots that you have purchased, so that you can make payment and make arrangements for delivery. We have had many years of experience dealing with both UK carriers and international shippers and are happy to obtain quotations and facilitate transport and shipping of single lots and multiple purchases to anywhere in the world.

Bids will be opened on Thursday 20th May; and sales results will appear on the Summers Place Auctions website. Please be mindful that we will have to process a large number of bids, which does take time. However, we will endeavour to get this accomplished as quickly as possible and will expect to have the results of the sale posted by the end of the day.

If you have never bid in a sealed bid sale before, here are some things to be aware of as regards leaving bids for this auction: Every lot in the sale has a fixed reserve, (the minimum price for which the lot can be sold) and this is never above the low estimate, it can be slightly below, but in the vast majority of cases it is the low estimate.

The highest bid (as long as it is on or above the reserve) will be the winning bid. This is the ‘hammer price’ that the lot will be sold for.

You should consider leaving a bid of an odd amount in pounds, for example, rather that bidding £1,000, try say £1,004, as many lots have been bought for the sake of the odd £1!

You can tailor your bid in ways that are impossible to do in a live auction. For example, if you really like three lots, but only need one, and the piece you like the most is later in the sale, simply mark your order of preference. As long as your instructions are clear, having looked at any other bids left on the lots, we will do our best to comply with your preferences.

In the event of two identically highest bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

An auction price is made up of different components; the winning bid is called the ‘hammer price’; A commission, which is in addition to the ‘hammer price’ is payable to the auctioneers.

This is known as the buyers premium, on which VAT is payable. Lots marked with  are subject to Artist Resale Right (ARR), which is 4% of the “hammer price”. All lots that have additional VAT are clearly marked in the catalogue with a †.

Sealed Bid Auction Lots 400-836 All sealed bids must be with us, at the latest by 4pm BST on the 19th May since the bids will be opened on the 20th May. The winning bid will be the highest left on each lot above the reserve. Bids are non sequential and the highest bid left is the price at which the lot is sold plus buyers premium and any VAT liable. In the event of two identical winning bids being left on the same lot, the earliest received bid shall take precedence. Summers Place Auctions decision on which is the winning bid shall be final. Winning bidders will be invoiced after the bids are opened. For further information on sealed bids and how they work see our conditions of business.

The following 72 lots are from the personal collection of Tim Wonnacott and until recently were set out in the grounds of his country house, Whitefoots, near Ashington, West Sussex which has now been sold.

Tim is a well-known TV presenter and auctioneer and for many years was a colleague of ours at Sotheby’s. His diverse media career has included appearing on and presenting well known programmes such as Bargain Hunt and Antiques Road Trip, but he also enthralled the nation a few years ago with his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing.

As a charity auctioneer, he has raised a lot of money for various good causes over the years and this sale includes a painted resin cow (lot 463) presented to him

by Esther Rantzen, after he raised over £600,000 selling sixty decorated cows in the first Cow Parade auction in London when he was Chairman of Sotheby’s Olympia 2002. Tim has kindly agreed to donate the proceeds of this lot to Childline, and Summer’s Place Auctions will not be charging Buyer’s Premium on this lot.

McBean is renowned for his theatrical and inventive photography of the 1930s and 1940s. Imitated throughout his career, his influence especially in advertising is still prominent today. In 1935 he opened his own studio; and his prominent style was soon being published in glossy magazines. After the Second

World War he opened a larger studio in Covent Garden, and in the 1940s and 1950s was inundated with commissions from theatre companies.

In the 1960s McBean photographed the Beatles for their first album as well as Audrey Hepburn, Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier.

In the 1960s, he bought a Tudor manor house, Flemings Hall in Bedingfield, Suffolk, and undertook a major restoration. He lived there until his death in 1990.

later became the seat of the Government of India and where it is clear how Indian architecture inspired his designs.

A lot of his fame is down to the then new lifestyle magazine Country Life, created by Edward Hudson, as it featured many of his house designs. Hudson commissioned Lutyens for several projects including the magazine’s headquarters on Tavistock Street and the refurbishment of Lindisfarne Castle. Most importantly he designed and built The Deanery in Sonning, Berkshire for Hudson between 1899 and 1901. Renowned garden designer Gertrude Jekyll designed the gardens and the house was essentially designed as a show home, which was featured in Country Life in 1921 and 1961.

Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens (29 March 1869 - 1 January 1944) is admired by many as one of Britain’s greatest architects. He designed many English country houses, war memorials and public buildings – adapting to the requirements of his era, while keeping hold of a more traditional style.

152

During the 1980’s the deanery was owned

by Stanley Seeger who made various changes, including remodelling the entrance with gates big enough to drive a car through and replacing the wall. Seeger knew that the vendor was a big Lutyens admirer and so gifted the original Lutyens gates and wall components to him rather than possibly disposing of them forever.

The current owner now hopes that they will find a new, suitable home, perhaps with someone who shares his admiration for the architect.

Lutyens was born in Kensington London, he was named after one of his painter father’s friends Edwin Henry Landseer and was brought up in Surrey and later studied architecture at the South Kensington School of Art. He set up his own private practice shortly after finishing college in 1888 and during his first commission of a private house in Surrey he met the garden designer Gertrude Jekyll which later led to a professional partnership that would create the “Lutyens-Jekyll” garden

look of many country houses.

This combination of formal and informal style is still defined as the “English garden”. His early work was mainly private houses in an Arts and Crafts style, but after 1900 his style became a more conventional Classicism.

Knighted in 1918, he received the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal 100 years ago in 1921, which firmly established him as one of the greatest architects. £5000-8000

545 † An exceptionally large lingam stone 92cm high Lingam stones are symbols of worship, based on the scriptures and cultural traditions among the Hindus, particularly of the Shaivaites and Smartha Brahmins.

Stones are ancient and connote divinity and are of smooth cylindrical form. All of the Lingams occur naturally in the Narmada River and are finished off by hand to enhance their egg shape. Shiva means auspiciousness and linga means a sign or a symbol.

Hence the Shiva Linga is regarded as a “symbol of the great God of the universe who is all-auspiciousness.”, Legends also say that for Lord Shiva, the Hindu God, the river is especially sacred on account of its origin, and it is often called Shankari i.e., daughter of Shankar (Lord Shiva). All the pebbles rolling on its bed are said to take the shape of his emblem with the saying, “Narmada Ke Kanker utte Sankar” (a popular saying in the Hindi belt of India), which means that ‘pebble stones of Narmada gets a personified form of Shiva’. These lingam shaped stones (cryptocrytalline quartz, called Banalinga also called (Banashivalingas) are much sought after for daily worship by the Hindus. £3000-4000
