2 • SCULPTURE & DESIGN FOR THE HOUSE & GARDEN

1 An extremely rare Georgian lead cistern dated 1754 and with the initials FSD 75cm.; 30ins high by 109cm.; 43ins long by 58cm.; 23ins deep

Lead cisterns became popular in the 17th and 18th centuries as a means of storing rainwater from roofs. Often situated in courtyards, they are one of the very few examples of garden ornament to often bear a date, often supplemented as in this example, with the initials of the owner. The front and sides were cast

in one long rectangular panel in a sand pit with the decoration made through carved wooden strapwork mouldings, letters and numbers together with any other decorative features pressed into the sand before the lead was poured in. This would often include armorial devices relating to the family, or figures representing the seasons.

Whilst having the normal strapwork decoration, date and initials, as well as an armorial cresting, this rare example also has a very unusual pair of vases of flowers in the rococo fashion, which is very much in keeping with the mid 18th century date. ÂŁ6000-10,000

A Celebration of Coade stone Bacon as its manager two years later, see lot 6. 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. The output was considerable and included statuary, urns, finials, fountains as well as a number of architectural fittings both interior and exterior.

The Coade factory yard Lambeth in the 1790s Women in business in the eighteenth century were rare, yet some, such as the silversmith Hester Bateman and Alice Hepplewhite, who produced her late husband’s Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer’s Guide, are known. Mention the name Eleanor Coade, however, and most people would merely shrug. The reality is that Eleanor Coade’s ‘Manufactory

of Artificial Stone’ flourished from 1769 until the early 1840s. She had Royal Appointments to both George III and George IV and her work was utilised by every major architect in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. It can be seen as far afield as Russia, the United States and even Brazil. Visitors to Buckingham Palace, either as

a tourist, to a Garden Party or to collect a well-deserved medal may be amazed to learn that much of the architectural detail on the palace is made of Coade stone. Eleanor Coade (d.1821) opened her Lambeth Manufactory for ceramic artificial stone in 1769, and appointed the sculptor John

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. For more information on Coade stone, go to www.summersplaceauctions. com lot 6.

6† A Coadestone figure of Flora late 18th century stamped Coade excudit 158cm.; 62ins high A similar, but not identical figure of Flora, paired with Pomona stand in James Wyatt’s orangery at Heveningham Hall, Suffolk. Many of the Coade stone classical figures are very similar in modelling and only differ in the attributes they are holding. This figure which is loosely based on the antique model of the Farnese Flora, now in the Naples Museum, was most probably adapted from the antique original by Mrs Coade’s manager, the sculptor John Bacon, who later became sculptor to George III. Interestingly this figure is stamped Coade excudit, which was often used in the pre-1800 figures, suggesting that this figure was made in the 1780’s or 90’s.

7 A rare Coadestone armorial for the Founders Company stamped Coade and Sealy, Lambeth, 1800 124cm.; 49ins high by 94cm.; 37ins wide by 33cm.; 13ins deep Provenance: Most probably removed from the façade of the Founders Hall, London. The Worshipful Company of Founders is one of the oldest Livery Companies of the City of London, and can trace its existence back to 1365. It was formed to protect the interests of its members and to promote high standards of quality and workmanship in articles of bronze and brass. The first hall was built in 1531, when 18 members of the Company joined together to buy two houses and a garden in Lothbury and proceeded to build a Hall on a site which still bears the name of “Founders’ Court”. The Company was hard hit when the Hall, like so many others, was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and rebuilt at a heavy cost mainly borne by the Liverymen from their own pockets. Built in brick with a stone front it is almost certain that this armorial was a later addition to the Hall and would have been positioned at parapet height

on the façade, in the same position as a royal coat of arms, supplied in many cases by Eleanor Coade, for businesses which had received a Royal Warrant to supply some commodity or service. It would have been removed when the hall was demolished in the 1840’s to make way for a new Hall started in 1845. This piece would have been an individual commission and incorporates the Founders Company coat of arms which show a laver or washing ewer flanked by candlesticks reflecting the Founders who in the early days of the guild worked in brass and brass alloys or tinplate known as “Iatten” or “laton”, producing small cast articles. The top of the armorial incorporates a flaming furnace including a crucible from which the molten brass would have been poured into moulds. The lower portion with the bronze mortars and dolphin handles together with chain shot cannonballs normally used in naval engagements for destroying rigging on enemy ships, were very topical given the date of 1800 on this piece, since Britain was engaged in a maritime duel with Napoleon’s France for supremacy at sea which culminated in the battle of Trafalgar 5 years later in

October 1805. The skill of the Coade modellers in faithfully reproducing in clay, the wooden carriage even down to the square iron strengthening plates and screws flanking the Coade stamp is testament to the quality to which Eleanor Coade aspired.

12 A fine and rare William and Mary double horizontal carved Portland stone and bronze sundial circa 1690 inscribed and constructed for latitude 52° 24’ N., bearing the Arms and motto of the Cornwallis family, signed Henricus Wynne Londini Fecit, the dial plate seated on three bronze bearings upon a Portland stone plinth with octagonal top and four volute supports with acanthus terminals flanking scallop shells, on moulded square base Sundial 69cm.; 27in diameter, plinth 130cm.; 51ins high The double-horizontal sundial, as the name implies, is a dual instrument, its principal features comprising a ‘double’ gnomon and complementary hourscales on the dial plate. The primary instrument is the fiducial edge of the inclined or sloping part of the gnomon, which, when the sundial is correctly set, lies parallel to the earth’s polar-axis and aligned in the north/south plane of the meridian and the shadow of which indicates the time against the outer hour-scale on the dial plate, in hours and minutes. The secondary instrument is the sharp vertical edge of the triangular-shaped support to the gnomon, which lies in the axis of the observer’s zenith, and the shadow of which indicates the position of the sun at the point where the straight edge of the shadow intersects the hour-line on a planispheric projection of the celestial sphere, corresponding to the time indicated on the main dial. This observation provides various astronomical data, including the sign of the zodiac in which the sun is situated, the times of sunrise and sunset, the

1 4 • G A R D E N , D E S I G N & N AT U R A L H I S T O RY L I V E A U C T I O N 2 1 S T O C T O B E R 2 0 1 4

length of the day in terms of the number of hours in the day from sunrise to sunset, the altitude and azimuth (direction) of the sun, together with the means to determine the time when certain ‘fixed’ stars would transit the meridian. The Cornwallis doublehorizontal sundial has a floreated gnomon, seated on a sheet-brass dial plate, which is affixed to a cast-bronze base by means of ‘hidden’ rivets. The dial plate is engraved with various scales and tables, the primary hour-scale in the outer ring being graduated in hourly, ten-minute, five-minute and one-minute intervals, within which there are inner rings calibrated to indicate direction in terms of azimuth or bearing. The planispheric projection is also engraved with an inner and outer hour-scale, to facilitate its use, being graduated with hour-angle divisions (meridians) and parallels of declination to the limits of 23½ degrees north or south of the celestial equator or equinoctial line. Two engraved arcs, representing the ecliptic, the apparent path of the sun, extend from the points where the 6 o’clock meridians or hourcircles cut the equinoctial and graze the north/south extremities of the projection at the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. The signs of the

zodiac are inscribed at their respective intervals along these two arcs. At the east/west extremities of the projection there are datescales, graduated in months and days, whereby the date may be determined from an observation. Conversely, the date being known, the sundial may be readily be orientated and aligned in the meridian, without recourse to the more usual and protracted methods involved in setting up an ordinary common or garden horizontal dial. F O R E X T R A I M A G E S G O T O w w w. s u m m e r s p l a c e a u c t i o n s . c o m • 1 5

Other scales engraved on the dial include a semi-circular lunar hour-scale (situated within the arc of the inner hour-scale of the planispheric projection), by which the time may be deduced from an observation of the moon, and two sets of altitude scales, for use with a pair of compasses or dividers. The names of certain fixed stars are inscribed within the boundaries of these scales, together with the values of their respective hour-angles or angular distances measured

eastwards of the so-called first point of Aries, the vernal equinox. On the planispheric projection this is the point, at the eastern extremity of the grid system, on the date-scale in March, at which the ecliptic and equinoctial intersect. By knowing the angular distance of the sun from this point, for a given date, the time of night may be deduced from the position of one or more of these stars. Two calendrical tables are also engraved on the dial plate on either side of

1 6 • G A R D E N , D E S I G N & N AT U R A L H I S T O RY L I V E A U C T I O N 2 1 S T O C T O B E R 2 0 1 4

the Cornwallis coat-of-Arms. The double-horizontal sundial was the invention of the mathematician William Oughtred (1575-1660). This instrument was produced for him by his friend Elias Allen, who flourished circa 16061654, the most notable mathematical instrument maker of his day. His apprentice and successor was Ralph Greatorex (1625-1712), who was also a personal friend of Oughtred. One of Greatorex’s apprentices was

Henry Wynne (fl. 1654-1709), who, in turn, became wellknown for the excellence of his instruments. Wynne was a member of, and in 1690, Master of the Clockmaker’s Company. He produced the finest and largest (36-inch diameter) double-horizontal sundials, known in this country, which in themselves are comparatively rare, since their construction requires a high degree of mathematical knowledge and considerable skill in the accurate engraving of the planispheric

projection. One of his dials was set up on the terrace at Windsor Castle in the Reign of Charles II and others are known in England and Scotland. The main supporting argument for the plinth being slightly later than the dial is that whilst there are threaded holes for levelling screws on the underside of the dial, no provision has been made in the top of the plinth for these screws. Instead there are three self-draining slots cut into the stonework, each containing a bronze ball-bearing on which the dial rests and which facilitate the dial’s orientation. Stylistically the plinth is certainly no later than 30/40 years later than

the dial and incorporates some early repairs. The Arms engraved on the dial and gnomon are those of Sir John Cornwallis who died in 1544, impaled with the families of Buckton, Braham, Tyrell and Stamford, his antecedents by marriage. It is probable that the anomaly of dates can be explained by the engraved coat-of-Arms being based on a Cornwallis tomb in Brome Church, Suffolk, the one-time seat of the Cornwallis family, since the latitude marked on the dial of 52° 24’ would be about right for Brome. £20,000-40,000

14 An over life size rare Austin and Seeley composition stone figure of Phocion mid 19th century on pedestal 324cm.; 128ins high overall This model appears in the 1841 Austin and Seeley catalogue titled as Phocion, who was the leader of Athens in 318 B.C. He was famed for trying to save his fellow citizens from their own foolishness, thereby earning the reward of Socrates. 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”.

15 A pair of rare Georgian carved Portland stone terms circa 1740 160cm.; 63ins high These would originally have formed part of a larger architectural fitting either as jambs of an important chimney piece or jambs for an imposing door casing. Terms in the form of classical busts on a tapering pedestal originated in Roman times, representing the god terminus and were used for marking the boundary of an area or estate. Revived in Italian renaissance gardens, they were later adopted by William Kent, the 18th century architect and leading exponent of the Palladian style of architecture, named after the Venetian architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) and first introduced into England at Chiswick House, designed in conjunction with his patron Lord Burlington and finished in 1729. Kent was also a prolific designer of both landscape gardens and furniture, with term figures liberally used in both disciplines. His work was recently celebrated at an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum William Kent: Designing Georgian Britain. £5000-8000

Although a number of Stevenson’s are recorded as sculptors working in the second half of the 19th century, largely in Scotland, William Grant Stevenson, (1844-1919) is specifically known for his animalier pieces. A member of the Royal Scottish Academy he exhibited a bronze stag in 1894, now in the Edinburgh Museum. He also sculpted a monumental stone statue of William Wallace in Aberdeen. This unusual group would have been undoubtedly have been an individual portraits commission for a family’s dogs, interestingly the marble separates into five different sections so that the dogs maybe viewed together or as individual groups. £3000-5000

The Medici urn is first recorded in 1598 in the inventory of the Villa Medici, Rome although there is evidence that it was there at least thirty years earlier. In 1780 it was removed to Florence and soon entered the Uffizi where it remains today. The vase was one of the most popularly reproduced antiquities being copied in marble, bronze, terracotta, alabaster and biscuit. It is believed that the original was executed in the second half of the first century A.D. The Borghese urn was first recorded in the garden of Carlo Muti in 1594 by Flaminio Vacca who added that it had been discovered along with the Silenus and Infant Bacchus on Muti’s estate near present day Casino Massimo. In 1645 the urn had found its way into the Villa Borghese where it stayed until purchased by Napoleon in 1807. By 1811 it was on display in the Louvre where it remains today. These urns are illustrated in the 1874 Handyside catalogue No 3 & 3A. £2500-4000 F O R E X T R A I M A G E S G O T O w w w. s u m m e r s p l a c e a u c t i o n s . c o m • 3 9

He obtained Letters Patent in 1854 for “Improvements in the Manufacture of China, Pottery, Bricks” and other articles, made for the most part from clay and again in 1860 for “improvements in burning pottery and china ware”. He had a manufactory in Millwall, Poplar with a sales outlet at No. 1 Praed Street, Edgware Road, London, but moved to Stamford, Lincolnshire in 1859, to be nearer the clay-beds. He won medals for Terra Cotta, in the glass and pottery and architectural objects classes at the International Exhibition in 1862 and a silver medal at the Paris International Exhibition of 1867. One of the most important commissions with which he was involved was supplying architectural terracotta for the decoration of the new Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, but this undertaking stretched his resources too far and by 1874 the Stamford Terracotta Company works, machinery as well as models and moulds were for sale; it finally closed in 1875 £2000-3000

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”. The company held appointments to H.M. King Edward VII, H.M. King George V and H.M. Queen Alexandria.

47 ▲ An important bronze and cast iron upholstered curved seat by Oscar Bach American, early 20th century 145cm.; 57ins wide Born in Breslau, Germany, in 1884, Oscar Bruno Baksti studied painting at the Royal Academy in Berlin and apprenticed in metallic arts. Soon thereafter he worked as artistic director of a metalwork firm in Hamburg where he won a commission to make an ornate jewel encrusted Bible cover for the study of Pope Leo XIII, which remains in the Vatican's permanent collection. This important commission led to others designing metalwork for civic buildings, notably Berlin's new city hall. Between 1904 and 1911 Bach worked as a successful metalsmith in Germany, producing both small, utilitarian objects and monumental architectural works. The resulting designs, whether in bronze, iron, steel, aluminum, silver, copper, or lead, were adorned with the application of polychrome enamels, custom glass, patina work, and cast ornamental detail. In addition, from 1908 he had a studio in Venice and travelled extensively throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, which informed his stylistic and technical inquiries. His artistic repertoire thus stemmed from a variety of influences including Arts & Crafts, Gothic, Renaissance, Spanish Baroque, Tudor Revival, and Art Deco. In terms of iconography, Bach's creations often featured zodiac and mythological symbols, scrolling grapevines, and classical masks, many of which are apparent in the highly eclectic decoration of this seat. He joined his brother Max in New York in January 1912. Soon after his arrival, they opened a metal design studio, with Max most likely in charge of commercial aspects, in Greenwich Village under the name of Bach Brothers (they would relocate several times and sell under Oscar B. Bach Studios, Inc. and Bach Products). In 1924 Bach established another studio in Florence. In addition to creating attractive household objects for wealthy New Yorkers, Bach also excelled at custom architectural works for lavish country estates, on which he often worked with architect Harrie T. Lindeberg. Noteworthy commissions include metalwork for the New York American Building in Columbus Circle (1913), the Woolworth Building (1913), Riverside Church (1930), Temple Emanu-el (1929), the Daily News Building (1930), Ohio's Toledo Museum of Art (for which he won the 1926 Gold Medal of Honor in Design and

Craftsmanship from the Architectural League in 1925), the Chrysler Building (1930), Rockefeller Center (1932), and the Empire State Building for which he created the large inlaid stainless steel mural in the lobby in 1931. From 1941 until his death in 1957 Bach worked solely as a consultant for companies such as Remington-Rand, Manning, Bowman, Edward Budd, Oneida, Baldwin Locomotive, American Radiator Company, and the Tappan Stove Company. Bach also exhibited widely from 1911, when he won the Grand Prix at the World's Exposition in Turin for a bed he designed for Kaiser Wilhelm II. In 1922, Oscar B. Bach and Oscar B. Bach Studios were mentioned in the metalwork category at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual exhibition of American industrial art, in which he would continue to participate until 1929. In 1924, he exhibited three examples of architectural work at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. Oscar Bach's work is today conserved in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Minneapolis Museum of Art, The Wolfsonian, and Reynolda House. £20,000-30,000 F O R E X T R A I M A G E S G O T O w w w. s u m m e r s p l a c e a u c t i o n s . c o m • 5 1

48 ▲ Clare Sheridan: An Art Deco bronze fountain group of four fish signed Clare Sheridan and dated 1938, fish mouths plumbed for water, weathered variegated green patination 122cm.; 48ins high Clare Sheridan (born as Clare Consuelo Frewen; also known as Clare Consuelo Sheridan), was born in London in 1885, the daughter of Moreton Frewen of East Sussex and his American wife, the former Clarita “Clara” Jerome. Her mother was the elder sister of Lady Randolph Churchill. She married Wilfred Frederick Sheridan in 1910; they had three children. Wilfred Sheridan was a Lieutenant in the Rifle Brigade, who was killed while leading his men at the Battle of Loos in 1915. Her godmother and namesake was Consuelo Vanderbilt, Duchess of Marlborough. After the death of her second child, Elizabeth, in 1914, Sheridan sculpted a weeping angel as an outpouring for her grief. It was from this piece of art that she discovered an ability for sculpting, and after the death of her husband a year later, she moved from France to London to study under John Tweed and Professor Edouard Lanteri. While visiting America, Sheridan had a love affair with Charlie Chaplin and enjoyed friendships with Princess Margaret of Sweden, Lord and Lady Mountbatten, Lady Diana Cooper, Vita Sackville-West and Vivien Leigh. Her famous bust of her first cousin Sir Winston Churchill, can be found at Blenheim Palace, Chartwell, Harrow School and Hastings Town Hall. She enjoyed an amicable relationship with Churchill, though her support for the October Revolution caused them to break ranks politically in the 1920s during which time she was invited by a Soviet Russian trade delegation on a visit to London to travel to Moscow and make busts of notable revolutionaries including Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky. The author Robert Service, in his 2009 book, claims that she had an affair with Trotsky who signed and dedicated a painting of himself to her. Sheridan’s dalliance with known Soviet agents earned her the suspicions of the Security Service. She earned an MI5 file that noted: “She has conducted herself in a disloyal manner in various foreign countries, adopting a consistently anti-British attitude.” In 1925 Sheridan moved to Algiers, where it was noted by MI5 that “she appeared to be comfortably off and debt-free for the first time in 10 years”. After returning to live in Belmont House in Hastings, Sussex where she died in 1970 at the age of 84, having outlived two of her three children. £10,000-15,000 5 2 • G A R D E N , D E S I G N & N AT U R A L H I S T O RY L I V E A U C T I O N 2 1 S T O C T O B E R 2 0 1 4

He was born in the United States, and moved to Europe in 1902, becoming a British citizen in 1911. He often produced controversial works which challenged taboos on what was appropriate subject matter for public artworks. He also made paintings and drawings, and often exhibited his work. Many of his larger works were of an architectural nature, however he is best known for his portrait sculpture in bronze. These sculptures were often executed with roughly textured surfaces, expressively manipulating small surface planes and facial details. His sitters included Joseph Conrad, George Bernard Shaw, Albert Einstein, Paul Robeson and members of his family. Some fine examples are in the National Portrait Gallery. Little Eileen is a childhood friend of Peggy Jean, Epstein’s first daughter who was born in 1918, and the sculpture dates from circa 1927.

The Crowther Collection

The display garden of H Crowther & Son, 5 The High Road, Chiswick The name of Crowthers is synonymous with all areas of garden ornament and architectural fittings and fireplaces, throughout the 20th century

Crowthers of Syon Lodge located next to Syon Park sold an even bigger range of garden ornament before finally auctioning of the residue of their stock with us in 2002.

When I held my first sale of Garden Statuary here at Summers Place under Sotheby’s auspices back in 1986, there were three branches of the Crowther family all plying their trade in London.

This just leaves the venerable firm of H.Crowther and Son, established by Henry ‘Mash’ Crowther in 1908 at the same premises they still occupy in Chiswick High Road, London. From the beginning Mash specialised in making lead garden ornaments, a skill he had learnt from his father Tommy, who, at the fairly advanced age of 60, took a stand at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1914 displaying lead ornament and wrought iron gates, which earned him a gold cup. It says something for the continuity of this branch of the family, that Mash’s

All were descended from John and Mary Crowther who arrived in London in the 1860’s with two sons and four daughters. By 1901 one of the sons, Thomas had moved to 282 Northend Road in Fulham selling fireplaces, garden ornament and architectural fittings before closing their doors in 1992.

The picture taken at Carville Hall, Brentford, Thomas Crowthers home and now a public park. grandson, Paul Crowther, the present proprietor of H.Crowther and Son, also exhibited his lead wares at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2007-2009, winning commendations as well as supplying the leadwork to Chris Beardshaw’s gold medal winning garden Throughout the twentieth century, the company’s collection played an important role for garden designers to draw upon. As Gertrude Jekyll, the outstanding Edwardian garden designer remarked; ‘There can scarcely be a doubt that the happiest material for our garden sculpture and ornament is lead'’ ‘and it was Crowthers who supplied lead statuary and ornament to the newly created Jekyll gardens at Hestercombe, Sissinghurst Castle and Hidcote Manor, to name but a few. Crowthers also supplied pieces to many fine 18th century gardens being restored; indeed it’s said that there are very few important gardens where you cannot find at least one example of Crowther’s work. Paul wants to develop the workshops at the back of the garden and no longer needs the main house, since no family members are living in it, necessitating the emptying of the vaults,

bringing to light a number of pieces which haven’t been seen for years including many of the plaster originals from which the moulds were made with which to cast the lead pieces. Paul Crowther remarked; I decided it was time to rationalize our family business which has been going in the same premises here in Chiswick for over 100 years. As a family, we no longer use the main house and vaults, which have become a treasure trove of old lead models and plaster moulds. We also felt that the pieces in our display garden, many of which have been here for up to 100 years and which have achieved a wonderful patina, were no longer representative of the new pieces we sell. In order to continue expanding our business, I need to concentrate on developing our workshops adjacent to the garden. We are delighted to be offering the second part of Paul’s family collection of leadwork, spread over our last sale and this sale with estimates often considerably below the retail price, which represents not just great value but the chance to acquire pieces with genuine history.

Camden Lock Market

Armorial Plaque from Camden Lock Market Stables

The following 12 lots were recently removed from the world famous Camden Lock Market in London. They were all originally commissioned in the early 1990’s as fixtures in the old stables 3 storey indoor market hall designed by architect John Dickinson.

1991 a three-storey indoor market hall designed by architect John Dickinson was opened on the site of the first outdoor market. In the style of the traditional 19th century industrial architecture and housing in the area, it is built of brick and cast iron.

Camden Lock Market is situated by the Regent’s Canal on a site formerly occupied by warehouses and other premises associated with the canal. By the early 1970s the canal trade had ceased and a northern urban motorway was planned that would cut through the site, making any major permanent redevelopment impossible, and in 1974 a temporary market was established. By 1976, when plans for the motorway were abandoned, the market had become a well known feature of Camden Town. Originally, the Lock was a market for crafts, occupying some outdoor areas by the canal and various existing buildings. It attracted large numbers of visitors partly due to stalls being open on Sundays, when previous to the Sunday Trading Act 1994, shops were not permitted to operate on Sundays. It is now the fourth-most popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend. In

From 2006 a large indoor market hall was constructed in a yard between the Camden Lock Market and the Stables Market that was previously used for open air stalls. In November 2007 a large part of the Stables Market was demolished as part of a long-term redevelopment plan for the area and rebuilt as a year-round permanent market area.

Philip Jackson CVO born 18 April 1944 is one of Britain’s most renowned contemporary sculptors. Acting as Royal Sculptor to Queen Elizabeth II, his sculptures appear in numerous UK cities, as well as Argentina and Switzerland. Half of his time is spent on commissions and the other half on his gallery sculpture, which are instantly recognisable for their hauntingly elegant and theatrically enigmatic qualities. His most famous and highly acclaimed recent commission is The Bomber Command Memorial Sculpture, Green Park, London, comprising a group of seven figures, depicting the crew of a heavy bomber which was unveiled by HM The Queen, on 28th June 2012, amongst a fanfare of publicity. Other recent public commissions include; Large

gallery piece ‘Gale Force Nun’ installed in Berkeley Square, London, June 2012 and sculpture of Sir Alex Ferguson, for Manchester United FC, unveiled late 2012.

His twice life-size bronze statue of Bobby Moore was erected outside the main entrance at the new Wembley Stadium in May 2007. This piece was commissioned about ten years ago by a

widow to commemorate her husband, Peter, whose favourite horse was a Clydesdale called Victor. Powerful and beautifully sculpted, the meticulously precise posture creates an

overwhelming sense of drama and movement whilst still emphasising the inherent gentleness of the animal. £20,000-30,000

Further studies at Goldsmiths College included training as an art teacher, and studying ceramics - working on large figurative bowls and figurative sculptures. He now works loosely in pencil, charcoal ink and paint to help produce ideas as small maquettes before working in clay on the larger finished piece. From 1988 to 1995 Wyard lived in the South of France working, exhibiting, and further developing his ideas by visiting many continental museums, galleries and cave paintings. His work has largely been concerned with using the human figure as a point of departure to produce dynamic forms that also suggest an intimate connection to the landscape. Now living and working in the Exmoor National Park, ideas are sparked from patterns in the surrounding rocks, trees and banks of undulating moss, which often echo forms seen on his travels throughout Europe.

His work has been exhibited internationally, and has completed commissions for many prestigious clients including the BBC and the Palace of Westminster. He was elected to the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1993, and director for the Burghley Sculpture Garden in 1997. £4000-6000

102 Ptolemy Elrington Eagle Hubcaps and steel Unique 235cm.; 88½ins high Ptolemy Elrington was born in 1965. He lives in Brighton, England and his sculpture is rubbish, literally. When finishing college in Bradford, he lived near a sharp bend in the road where cars often lost their hubcaps. He started collecting them from a ditch at the side of the road and planned to turn them into a suit of armour, but noticed that they could be turned into an array of birds, fish and other creatures. “I like to work with reclaimed materials to show that what is one person’s junk is another man’s treasure. I’m now working full-time mainly doing commissions for councils and companies.” £6000-8000

110 Richard Cresswell Spitfire Mirror polished stainless steel Edition 1 of 5 Signed 260cm.; 102¼ins high by 200cm.; 78¾ins wide by 30cm.; 12ins deep Cresswell has a background in design and engineering, prior to his decision to take a career break and study art at Warwick College of Art and Birmingham City University. His current work has seen a shift of emphasis, with metal being the medium of choice as he is not constrained by the size and shape of timber, and his recently developed metal tile technique allows him to work in beautiful organic three dimensional curves. Alongside his abstract work are a number of fun pieces such as the ‘Butterfly Bench’, ‘Caterpillar Bench’ and the ‘Cocoon’, hence completing the lifecycle.

The last of them probably died out during the sixteenth century, although there are rumours that some may have survived until a much later date. The extraordinary size of their eggs led to their use by native peoples as containers for liquid. A few have survived intact and these fetch very high prices. Some, like the present example have been reconstructed from pieces. £2000-4000

(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. Manner of Antonio Canova

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

(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

Some of these items require specialist dismantling and may not be available for immediate collection after the sale. Intending purchasers should check the status of these lots before the sale. 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. Seller’s confidential reserves are set no higher than the low pre-sale estimates, except in the rare circumstance in which the reserve has been set in a foreign currency and the exchange rate has fluctuated. It is advisable to consult us nearer the time of sale as estimates can be subject to revision. The estimates printed in the auction catalogue do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT. 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.

Sales and Uses Taxes Buyers from outside the UK should note that local sales taxes or use taxes may become payable upon import of items following purchase (for example, the Use Tax payable on import of purchased 143

The Auction Auction speeds vary, and generally average between 50 and 120 lots per hour. The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate (generally in increments of approximately 10% of the previous bid) and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the seller up to the reserve on the lots, without indicating he is doing so and whether or not other bids are placed.

All clients should also have registered with us beforehand and provided photographic identification. All bids must be with us, at the latest, by the day before the published date of the sealed bid auction at which time the bids will be opened. 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 there being 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. Sale by private treaty Summers Place Auctions shall, from time to time, be offering some lots for sale by Private Treaty in our architectural portfolio. These will usually comprise larger pieces of an architectural nature, which will require a longer period of planning and consultation than an auction can provide. Additionally if you are looking for a specific piece please let us know and we will use our worldwide network of trade and private clients to help source the most suitable item for you.

Sealed Bid – How it works First you require a catalogue. Once you have the catalogue, you need to register your interest in bidding. This can be done quickly and simply by presenting one of our viewing staff with some photographic ID (a modern driver’s license or passport is ideal) or by scanning a copy and emailing it to us. We will take a copy of the ID and a registration form can be completed.

SUBSCRIPTIONS To subscribe to these catalogues please complete the box below with your debit/credit card and contact details. Upon lapse of the subscription we will be in contact to determine if you wish to renew your subscription.

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 may also be sent by e-mail. If you choose to send the bid electronically, please e-mail 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.

Catalogues are printed approximately 4-5 weeks prior to the sale date and are mailed to subscribers immediately. £10 if collected from Summers Place Auctions Gallery

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.

Bids will be opened on Thursday 23rd October and sales results will appear on the Summers Place Auctions website.

Includes both Live and Sealed Bid sales(*) All amounts are in sterling (GBP)

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:

Name ……………………………………………………

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.

Address .....................................................................

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 than bidding £1,000, try say £1,004, as many lots have been bought for the sake of the odd £1!

Email..........……………………………………………… Tel No……………......................................................

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.

Credit/debit card type.............................................. Card no ....................................................................

In the event of two identical highest bids, the earliest bid received with take precedence. Expiry date..........Issue Number …………………….. 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 also 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 †.

Along with Le Corbusier he is widely regarded as the most influential figure in French architecture in the period between the two World Wars. In addition to designing shops, factories, a fire station in Paris, apartment buildings, private homes, and interiors, he was one of the first architects to show an interest in cinema. He designed film sets and his design for Marcel L’Herbier’s silent film L’Inhumaine (1924) is considered a masterpiece. During his career he assembled a team of artisans and craftspeople who worked with him: interior designers, sculptors, master glaziers, lighting specialists, and ironsmiths.

Joseph Gott (1786-1860) was apprenticed to John Flaxman for two years. In 1805 he joined the Royal Academy Schools winning a Silver Medal in 1806 and a Gold Medal in 1807. He spent the majority of his working life in Rome where he was commissioned by a large number of wealthy English patrons engaged on the grand Tour, including The 6th Duke of Devonshire.

As well as executing a large number of portrait busts, funerary monuments and religious sculpture, Gott specialised in the depiction of dogs, especially greyhounds as in this group. This is almost certainly one of the versions of the “Boy with a basket, playing with a greyhound”, listed as being sculpted in 1853, originally in the collection of JE Duboys with another later version in the Musee des Beaux Arts, Angers in 1882 .

At least 10,000 Roman sarcophagi survive, with fragments possibly representing as many as 20,000. Although mythological scenes have been mostly widely studied, carved sarcophagus reliefs have been called the richest single source of Roman iconography, and may also depict the deceased’s occupation or life course, military scenes, and other subject matter.

From the 17th century onwards it became fashionable for the British aristocracy to return from their Grand Tours of Italy with ancient Roman and Greek sculpture reaching its nadir in second half of the 18th century. Sir William Hamilton, British Ambassador to the Kingdom of Naples from 1764 to 1800 amassed a large collection of vases and antiquities, some of which were subsequently acquired by the British Museum. Likewise Italian sculptors and designers such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi and Bartolomeo Cavaceppi

were restoring and in some cases faking ancient sculpture to satisfy the growing English market. By the end of the 19th century demand was considerably outstripping supply and a number of Italian sculptors were carving copies from scratch, as in this example, often distressing them to give the appearance of great antiquity. Some were sold as copies of Roman marble originals, whilst others were passed off as the real thing. £5000-8000

Jonathan Loxley was born in 1960. His father was a fighter pilot and this meant that Loxley travelled widely throughout his youth. Between 1979 and 1981, Loxley studied marble sculpture techniques in Florence, Italy. After leaving education, Loxley painted stage sets and created sculptures for film and theatre sets. He worked on set design for such cult films as Labyrinth and A Fish Called Wanda. In 1989, Loxley established a studio in Carrara, Italy, and began on his current path. He had several exhibitions in Italy, and across Europe, and then in 1993, was commissioned by David Bowie to create a sculpture to celebrate Bowie’s marriage to Iman. In 1999, Loxley took part in The Shape of the Century - 100 Years of Sculpture in Britain at Canary Wharf, London. His work has also featured at the Hampton Court Flower Show and Henley Art Show, both in 2001.

He attended three art colleges and a university in England but became disillusioned with

the art world in the 1980s and for ten years worked as a freelance editor and author, publishing 14 non-fiction books. In the mid-1990s, he started making sculpture again and he has subsequently exhibited widely in the UK, Europe, and as far afield as Japan. His work can be seen in the Spanish National Collection in Orense, Taunton’s Musgrove Park Hospital and in many sculpture gardens.

Michael also uses references from natural forms such as seedpods, shells fossils and plant buds. The idea that a form develops and grows from within a hard casing to burst forth and reveal a new appearance is paramount in his thought process. He unbalances the original and juxtaposing taut polished geometric forms against roughly textured organic shapes that emerge from within. £3000-4000

He grew up in East Anglia with ready access to clay thanks to his mother Rosemarie Cooke, who is also a ceramic sculptor. David has been based at Sculpture Lounge Studios in Holmfirth since 2005, and has been running ceramic workshops there with Brendan Hesmondhalgh since 2006. He regularly exhibits at some of the major UK ceramic and wildlife art shows, such as Art In Clay at Hatfield House, Potfest In The Park, Penrith and the annual Society of Wildlife Artists Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London. £400-600

Educated at North East Wales Institute of Art and Design, then Edinburgh College of Art. Brendan works primarily in ceramic and creates bold animal designs that are often mounted on ceramic plinths. He uses a hand-building technique that deliberately cracks the surface of the clay. By pushing out a sheet of clay from the inside the surface breaks as it stretches. In this way wrinkles, textures folds can be readily incorporated into the shape. The wet flexible clay can be pushed out from the inside to form the fullness of a belly, the line of a rib or the undulation of a muscle. He has won numerous awards, fellowships and prizes for his work, and as his work escalates from smaller scale garden sculpture to larger scale pieces, he has been selected for various private, public and corporate commissions. £2000-3000

Hayes was born in Birmingham, England, where, aged 12, he was selected to attend the Moseley School of Art. In 1961 he left to study at the Birmingham College of Art before travelling extensively in Africa. Over the course of several years, he worked as a ceramic artist with tribes and village potters. Moving on to India, Nepal, Japan, Korea and New Mexico, he found similar skills and adopted the

techniques he learned. In 1982, Hayes came home and built a studio in a disused toll house on Cleveland Bridge, Bath. The distinctive appearance of Peter Hayes’ ceramics comes from the techniques like Raku firing to which he subjects them, but also from the fact that he submerges them in the flowing river beside his studio, or sends them to Cornwall to be washed in the sea for months at a time. The

water washes minerals such as copper and metal oxides into the basic white clay with which Hayes works, creating a characteristic green-blue “blush” in his sculptures along with random elements that make every piece unique. The effect is to create objects that many feel look ancient and perhaps even a little alien. Hayes’ work is generally finished by waxing and polishing. £1200-1800

Ten main bays (of approx. 12ft) formed by very substantial jowled oak posts connected to the arcade plate and tie beams by main mortise and tenon, subsidiary teazle tenon and lapped dovetail joints.

The main tie beams and arcade plates are supported and braced by mainly heavy curved braces, with a few replaced in the 19th century with solid knee braces.
