MAP OF SUMMERS PLACE AUCTIONS, GARDENS AND GALLERY, enclosed in 6 acres of landscaped grounds including our new 5,000ft gallery. Completed in 2012 it has recently won Best Small Commercial Building in the Southern Local Authority Building Control Awards and was shortlisted in the Innovation and Environmental Design category for the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

1 A Georgian carved Portland stone panelled pedestal late 18th/early 19th century 81cm.; 32ins high by 71cm.; 28ins by 74cm.; 29ins ÂŁ2500-4000

3 A rectangular carved stone trough 56cm.; 22ins high by 115cm.; 45ins long by 80cm.; 31½ins deep £2000-3000

4 A carved white marble pedestal Italian, late 19th century now converted with copper armillary sphere 158cm.; 62ins high Provenance: Laurelton Hall, Long Island, New York, the home of Louis Comfort Tiffany. The son of Charles Louis Tiffany, founder of the eponymous jewellery business Tiffany and Co, Louis Comfort Tiffany, 1848-1933 is best known for his designs in stained glass in the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic styles. The 65-room mansion on 600 acres of land, was completed in 1905, and housed many of Tiffany’s most notable works, as well as serving as a work of art itself.

American Art and shipped to Winter Park, Florida after the fire. A major retrospective of Laurelton Hall opened at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in November, 2006. In 2010 the Morse Museum announced that it is building new galleries at a cost of $5 million. The galleries will have 6,000 square feet of space to display Tiffany work from Laurelton Hall. This lot originally stood in front of Laurelton Hall as the base for an elaborate cast iron fountain. Following the 1957 fire, the estate was split up and the base was relocated to the vendor’s garden in the Laurelton Hall grounds and reconfigured as a sundial, before being shipped to the UK. £1500-2500

Laurelton Hall served as home for a school for artists run by Tiffany and his Foundation beginning in 1918. The Laurelton Hall grounds also eventually contained a separate building which housed the Tiffany Chapel originally made for the 1893 Columbian Exposition and numerous Tiffany windows, and a separate art gallery building. Laurelton Hall eventually fell into disrepair in the years after Tiffany’s death, was sold by the Foundation in 1949, and burned down in 1957. The estate cost about $2,000,000 to build and landscape and was eventually sold for $10,000. The majority of windows and other surviving architectural pieces were salvaged by Hugh McKean and Jeannette Genius McKean of the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of 5

5 A large English stone armorial panel with a crest and motto of the Percy family of Northumberland late 17th century carved with the Royal supporters and motto around a hollow above the family motto ‘Esperance En Dieu’ on a ribbon and beneath a crest 169cm.; 66½ins high by 125cm.; 49ins wide £4000-6000

6 An unusual Coade stone corner pilaster capital now fitted out as a corner console table, the underside with impressed mark Croggon London 1832 58cm.; 23ins high by 76cm.; 30ins wide Mrs Coade in the 1784 Descriptive Catalogue of Coade’s Artificial Stone Manufactory shows a number of capitals and pilasters for both interior and exterior use. The London 1774 Building Act provided great opportunities for the Coade firm. The Act reduced exterior woodwork to the absolute minimum in an attempt to make houses as nearly incombustible as possible. Wooden porches and other decorations were banned, and window frames were set behind the embrasure, with very narrow glazing bars. As Sir John Summerson pointed out in Georgian London (p108-110) some form of fireproof decoration was needed, if house fronts were not to become intolerably boring and repetitious and this is exactly

what the Lambeth factory was able to supply in great variety with everything from capitals to keystones. In 1813 Mrs Coade’s partner John Sealy, died. Since by now she was too old to manage the factory and so she took on William Croggon, who was in some way related to her aunt. Following Mrs Coade’s death in 1821 Croggon bought the factory. One of his innovations was the manufacture of interior scagliola often in the form of columns and pilasters, all of which required a capital often in Coade stone. One of his biggest commissions was for the Duke of York at Buckingham Palace, which due to a dispute over unpaid bills ultimately lead to the firm’s bankruptcy in 1833, the year after this pilaster capital was made. £3000-5000

Campbell. It is regarded as a masterpiece of Neoclassical sculpture, but shows the mythological lovers at a moment of great emotion, characteristic of the emerging movement of Romanticism. It represents the god Cupid in the height of love and tenderness, immediately after awakening the lifeless Psyche with a kiss.

The story of Cupid and Psyche is taken from Lucius Apuleius’ Latin novel The Golden Ass, and was popular in art. Joachim Murat acquired the first or prime version in 1800. After his death the statue entered the Louvre Museum in Paris, France in 1824; Prince Yusupov, a Russian nobleman acquired the 2nd version of the piece

from Canova in Rome in 1796, and it later entered the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg. Due to its enduring popularity it has been extensively copied in a variety of materials, including marble and bronze. £2500-4000

THE COLD WAR

The following four lots provide a historical link with the Cold War which existed between the Soviet bloc countries and the Western powers between 1945 and 1990. A clash of very different beliefs and ideology – capitalism versus communism – each held with almost religious conviction, forming the basis of an international power struggle with both sides vying for dominance, exploiting every opportunity for expansion anywhere in the world. Propaganda formed a major weapon, especially for the Communist bloc countries whose press was heavily censored and whose leaders, especially Joseph Stalin established a virtual cult demanding absolute belief in the ideals of the state. The three figures lots 24 to 26 added to the roof of the Communist Party Headquarters and placed there shortly after the establishment of Communism in Czechoslovakia are a testament to the USSR’s attempts to indoctrinate the local population. The Cold War was to dominate international affairs for decades and many major crises occurred; the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, Hungary and the Berlin Wall being just some. For many, the growth in weapons of mass destruction was the most worrying issue. The SAGuideline missile System was developed in the late 1950's in response to combat America's long range bombers. The system was deployed in Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis, when it shot down a U-2 piloted by Rudolf Anderson overflying Cuba on October 27, 1962, almost precipitating nuclear war. Subsequently the same missile system was used to bring down John McCain’s fighter plane. See lot 27. It is now 25 years since the fall of the Iron Curtain and although those who lived through the Cold War years did so in a permanent fear of global annihilation by nuclear weapons, we now look back with feelings bordering on nostalgia. These four lots provide an unprecedented opportunity to acquire some rare icons all historically associated with this seminal period of mid 20th century world history.

The following three lots originally stood on the roof of the Communist Party Headquarters in Prague, and were removed following the ‘Velvet Revolution’ of 1991. In 1950 a set of six statues were commissioned of which three are offered here. Each was carved from a two ton block of sandstone, and since Czechoslovakia had recently become a Communist satellite, they fulfilled a primarily propaganda role in glorifying the exploits of the October 1917 revolution. It is certainly no coincidence that lot 25 looks like an idealised heroic representation of Stalin himself, who, prior to his death in 1953, still ruled the USSR with an iron fist. Given pride of place on the parapet of the Communist party headquarters, which later became the Lenin Museum, they were carved collectively by three of the leading Czechoslovakian sculptors of the time, Svata Hajerova, Irena Sedlecka and Ludvig Kodym. All three were awarded the prize of City of Prague and were Laureates of the State Prize for previous achievements. Of the three Irena Sedlecka is the only one still living and who went on to become a well-known sculptor in the West.

The Prague Communist Party Headquarters showing two of the figures

Born in 1928 in Plze, Czechoslovakia, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and was awarded the Lenin Prize for sculpture before fleeing the communist regime in 1967. Her first private commission in Britain, in 1975, was from Kathleen Hunt of Walthamstow, for a 70cm resin statue of the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus (The Madonna). She has sculpted many monumental portraits and busts since, including Freddie Mercury of Queen, now in Montreux, Switzerland; Beau Brummell in Piccadilly, London, and many in private collections. (Her statue of Mercury served as a model for the large illuminated statue that currently dominates the front of the Dominion Theatre in London since the May 2002 premiere of the musical We Will Rock You.) Commissioned portrait heads include Laurence Olivier (she also modelled the huge head used for his appearance in Dave Clark’s musical Time at the Dominion Theatre), Donald Sinden, Paul Eddington, Richard Briers, Jimmy Edwards, Ted Moult, Bobby Charlton, Lord Litchfield and Sir Frank Whittle. In August 1992 her work was shown at the Czech Embassy in London as part of an exhibition devoted to the work of five distinguished Czech émigré sculptors. She has been married several times, lastly to the sculptor Franta Belsky, who died in 2000. In late 2010, visual artist Aleksandra Mir befriended Sedlecká. A series of interviews in the following spring led to the publication of a monograph on Sedlecká’s life and work together with an unsolicited proposal of bringing the statue, now exiled in Montreux, back to London on temporary loan and to place it on the 4th Plinth in Trafalgar square. The idea has been met with varying reactions while the petition continues to gather signatures from all over the world.

27 A SA-2 Guideline rocket circa 1960 Titanium, stainless steel and aluminium, with numerous stencils in Cyrillic and later signed by Senator John McCain 10.9 metres; 37.76 feet long This rocket is part of the S-75 family of rockets which were developed in the late 1950's in response to combat America's long range bombers. The S-75 and its many variants provided much of the air defence of the Soviet Union and numerous other countries which adopted it. This is a two stage rocket with an initial solid fuel rocket booster which burned for four seconds and a second stage liquid fuel engine that burnt for a further 22 seconds. This enabled the craft to reach altitudes of 66,000 feet and speeds of Mach 3, with a range of up to 22 miles. The system first gained international fame when an S-75 battery, using the newer, longer-range and

higher-altitude V-750VN (13D) missile was deployed in the 1960 U-2 incident, when it shot down the U-2 piloted by Francis Gary Powers overflying the Soviet Union on May 1, 1960. Seven years later in 1967, during the Vietnam War an SA-2 knocked the right wing off of John McCain's carrier-based A-4 Skyhawk, forcing McCain to eject and parachute, badly injured, into Hanoi's TrĂşc Bach Lake, where he was fished from the water and taken prisoner. It was the SA-2 that delivered what the Vietnamese today regard as their greatest aerial triumph: the destruction of more than a dozen B-52s during the so-called Christmas bombings of 1972. Senator McCain has kindly and courageously autographed one of the rocket panels as a memento of his unfortunate escapade nearly 50 years ago. ÂŁ6000-10,000

THE CRADDOCK COLLECTION PART 1 Ade Craddock initially contacted us out of the blue saying he had some items he thought we may be interested in including in one of our Natural History sales. As chance would have it, Errol and I were only an hour's drive away at the time so decided to visit straight away. Little did we realise what awaited us within his farmhouse. Upon entering it was clear we were looking at a remarkable collection and that was just in the hall. With excitement building we were ushered into ”his room”. Not a modest room by any means and one absolutely covered from floor to ceiling with fantastic taxidermy from the golden age of natural history. The big cat material immediately drew one's eyes as Mr Craddock, unbeknown to any of our wide network of collectors and dealers, had amassed one of the finest collections we had ever seen. As his story unfolded and we flitted from item to item Ade explained how his father had collected taxidermy and antique big game trophies and he had just continued acquiring pieces throughout his life. A few of the items were known to us, many from years ago and nobody had known where they had ended up; well, we had just found out! Just as exciting were the other pieces, much of the collection sourced at a time when little regard was paid to Leopard heads or Tiger skin rugs. His long involvement with the subject and innate eye for quality shone through and made it a real pleasure dealing with Ade. Most collections have some areas that are weaker than others but what we came to realise was that even the so called lesser items were in their own way top rate. A pair of horns on a shield might at first sight seem just that – a pair of horns on a shield! But this wasn’t the case with Ade Craddock's material. Each item could stand alone as a particularly fine or unusual piece; some had been collected by celebrated hunters of the nineteenth century or early years of the twentieth, and almost all were on shields provided by the great natural history suppliers of the era: Rowland Ward, the van Ingen brothers, Gerrard's, or Theobald of Mysore. The scale of the collection was breathtaking. This is a highly unusual collection with such a strong focus on big game and that very specific era of time from the late nineteenth century to the years before the Second World War. This was a time when our connection with wildlife was perhaps closer than it is today although our attitudes were displayed in a very different ways. Some people may not like some of the items, but they are antiques and perhaps best viewed as such – cultural artefacts from a different age.

28 W. Woodehouse The Taxidermist Oil on canvas Signed and dated 1888 70cm.; 27½ins high by 60cm.; 23ins wide £2500-4000

William Woodhouse (1857-1939) The well-known Lancastrian painter William Woodhouse lived close to the small town of Carnforth and was friendly with the celebrated local taxidermist Henry Murray. Because of this connection it has sometimes been assumed that this is a portrait of Murray. However Jeff Dent, whose forthcoming book on Murray is to be published soon, has done considerable research on the image and has assembled a considerable body of evidence that indicates that it is, in fact, a portrait of George Mussell (18271909), a taxidermist who operated in Middlesborough during the last half of the nineteenth century.

32 A Maned Lion head by Rowland Ward circa 1900 73cm.; 29ins high Rowland Ward (18481912) the most celebrated of all taxidermists, operated from premises in Piccadilly. Here, he catered to Dukes and Duchesses, the rich and famous, and sportsmen the world over. He was so successful, and his reputation so great, that following his own death in 1912, the company he founded stayed in business for another 60 years, despite the general decline in interest in taxidermy through the twentieth century. During this period, the firm employed hundreds of workers, and was always renowned for the high quality of the work produced and the top quality standards maintained by its employees. Ward himself made many innovations in terms of taxidermy, and always maintained that a good taxidermist was not simply a craftsman but an artist and that he or she should be regarded as nothing less.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

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. 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. 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. 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. Dimensions are given height before width Condition of lots Condition is only noted in the catalogue where an item is severely distressed. Prospective purchasers making commission bids without viewing the sale can be given condition reports on any lot on request. 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.

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.

SUMMERS PLACE AUCTIONS AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE If Summers Place Auctions Ltd sells an item which subsequently is shown to be a "counterfeit", subject to the terms below Summers Place Auctions Ltd will set aside the sale and refund to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Summers Place Auctions Ltd for the item, in the currency of the original sale.

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. To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i)

notify Summers Place Auctions Ltd in writing within three (3) months of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the item, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is thought to be counterfeit; and

(ii)

return the item to Summers Place Auctions Ltd in the same condition as at the date of sale to the Buyer and be able to transfer good title in the item, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

Summers Place Auctions Ltd has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Summers Place Auctions Ltd may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Summers Place Auctions Ltd and the Buyer. 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.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS 1. Buyer’s Premium Rates The buyer’s premium payable by the buyer of each lot is at a rate of 25% on the first £50,000, then 20% up to £250,000 and 12% on the amount by which the hammer price exceeds £250,000, plus an amount in respect of VAT thereon (see below). 2. VAT on Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium and VAT Symbols in the Catalogue Property with no VAT symbol Where there is no VAT symbol, Summers Place Auctions Ltd are able to use the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme and VAT will not normally be charged on the hammer price. Summers Place Auctions Ltd must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% on this premium, which will not be shown separately on the invoice. Property with a † symbol These items will be sold under the normal UK VAT rules and VAT will be charged at 20% on both the hammer price and buyer’s premium. Property with a α symbol It is assumed that items sold to buyers whose address is in the European Union (EU) will be remaining in the EU. The property will be invoiced as if it had no VAT symbol. It is assumed that items sold to buyers whose address is outside the EU, will be exported from the EU. The property will be invoiced under the normal VAT rules (see ‘Property with a † symbol above). Property sold with a ‡ or Ω symbol These items have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under temporary importation. When Summers Place Auctions Ltd release such property to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay Summers Place Auctions Ltd import VAT at the following rates on the hammer price: ‡ @ 5% Ω @ 20% Summers Place Auctions Ltd must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% on this premium, which will not be shown separately on the invoice. VAT Refunds VAT may be cancelled or refunded on export if strict conditions are met. For advice, please contact us on 01403 331 331. 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 items to certain states of the USA). Buyers should obtain their own advice in this regard. Artist’s Resale Right Purchase of lots marked with the following symbol ▲ will be subject to payment of the Artist’s Resale Right, at a percentage of the hammer price calculated as follows: Portion of the hammer price (in €) Royalty Rate From 0 to 50,000 4% From 50,000.01 to 200,000 3% From 200,000.01 to 350,000 1% From 350,000.01 to 500,000 0.5% Exceeding 500,000 0.25% The Artist’s Resale Right payable will be the aggregate of the amounts payable under the above rate bands, subject to a maximum royalty payable of €12,500 for any single work each time it is sold. The maximum royalty payable of €12,500 applies to works sold for €2 million and above. Calculation of the artist’s resale right will be based on the Pounds Sterling / Euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of the sale by the European Central Bank. Property with a ♠ symbol. 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. 99

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. 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. 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 22nd September 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 than bidding £1,000, try say £1,004, as many lots have been bought for the sake of the odd £1!

Expiry date ....................Issue Number ……………..

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.

3 digit security number on reverse of card ............

In the event of two identical highest bids, the earliest bid received with take precedence.

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”.

The McEwan Hall Entrance Way

The Entrance Way displayed with faux stone block work underneath the railing sections

410 A highly important and imposing late 19th century carved sandstone and wrought iron entrance way the central pair of gates supported by substantial carved sandstone piers and flanked by railings, terminating in pedestrian gates at either end 330cm; 130ins high overall, the complete entranceway 1620cm; 638ins wide overall; the central gates 297cm; 117ins high by 335cm; 132ins wide Provenance: Removed from the McEwan Hall, University of Edinburgh. Scotland. The McEwan hall was built and presented to the University in 1897 by William McEwan, a brewer and politician, at a cost of £115,000, which at the time was the single biggest private donation in the University’s history. The architect, Sir Robert Rowland Anderson, trained under George Gilbert Scott and was responsible for many of the most prestigious Victorian buildings in Scotland including the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute for the 3rd Marquess of Bute. Built in the Italian Renaissance style, and a Grade 1* listed building, McEwan Hall forms an integral part of the University site in the centre of the City of Edinburgh, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. It has fulfilled many functions over the years including hosting Edinburgh University Graduation ceremonies. The Hall and the adjacent Bristo Square are now being redeveloped in a £33 million project, which has necessitated the removal of this entrance way, with the necessary permissions. The ironwork has undergone an extensive programme of sympathic restoration forming a symmetrical Entranceway with an 11 foot central gate opening flanked by carved sandstone gate piers, railings and then pedestrian gates. Since many of the components are modular, it is possible to reconfigure it in any number of ways including angling the end sections as well as the choice of a natural stone, rendered/brick dwarf walls beneath the railings. At present it has been illustrated with faux stone blockwork underneath the side railings for display purposes to give an idea of one of the options available. Quotations can be given for the complete installation of the entranceway, together with detailed costings depending on prospective purchaser’s requirements. Full draughtsman’s drawings are also available in pdf format and on our website. This represents a unique opportunity to acquire a very impressive entranceway from a Grade 1* listed building in a UNESCO World Heritage site. £80,000-120,000

the traditional practice of steam bending began whilst studying at Falmouth College of Arts (now Falmouth University), where he discovered the traditional technique of using a chamber wouldn’t allow him to create the complex 3D bends he had envisaged. Years of research and experimentation allowed him to develop a

new steaming method to turn his design visions into reality and create furniture such as these chairs which were displayed at the Chelsea Flower Show.

The earliest multiple dials are thought to have originated in Germany and France. The first recorded British one is at Elmley Castle in Hereford, which dates to around 1545.

During the War he saw action in the Western Desert and Sicily, and was awarded the Military Cross and the George Medal. The years (1946-50) that he spent as Professeur de Sculpture at the AngloFrench Art Centre in St John’s Wood, London, he would subsequently look back upon as being influential in his development as a sculptor; they witnessed his increasing technical mastery and creative adventurousness, which went hand in hand with his own inspirations his love of mythology, history (both human and natural) and the deeper world of the spirit. Besides exhibiting at the Royal Academy and other institutional galleries, Crampton held 17 one man shows in the West End over a period of nearly four decades. Works on a more heroic scale were commissioned by civic organisations, colleges (two at Cambridge), churches and convents. He was particularly gratified when he was asked to create the war memorial for his own regiment. Several of his most notable works earned him awards from the Civic Trust and from the Royal Society of British Sculptors. He had been a member of that body since 1953 and served as its president for five years (1966-71). Provenance: Bought by the vendor from the sculptor’s widow in about 2000 £1500-2500

Westminster. Ferri has always been interested in nature, and its influence is evident in her work. She is particularly drawn to the human form where she feels the wealth of expression and possibilities are limitless. In her current work which is predominantly sculpture, she is examining how society restricts our lives,

demonstrating the boundaries to our freedom. She is exploring this theory through the female form which she feels allows for greater communication of both emotional and physical nuances. She hand builds using coiling technique, and her pieces are finished by burnishing, followed by smoke firing. £800-1200

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. £1000-1500 227
