Farm House

MAYFAIR

A magnificent four-bedroomed house on one of Mayfair’s most sought-after streets, Farm House was beautifully refurbished with fine furnishings and works of art in 2013. Taking its name from the site’s original farmhouse that predated the development of Mayfair, the property was rebuilt at the beginning of the 20th century with medieval and 17th-century elements as a gentle nod to its heritage. The property’s colourful history continued, as it became home to aristocracy and socialites throughout the 1930s, first by Swiss-born Thelma Furness, Viscountess Furness (1904-1970), the twice-married mistress of the then Prince of Wales and later King Edward VIII, during their relationship between 1930 and 1934. Furness subsequently lent the house to Wallis Simpson, who entertained the Prince of Wales there, and the American actress Gloria Swanson. The collection is led by a Louis XV kingwood, tulipwood, sycamore and parquetry inlaid meuble d’entrée, made for the King at Château de Fontainebleau, which is complemented by Continental pictures, English and European furniture, lighting, and period and modern decorative furnishings.

Lot 12 Francois Dumont (French, 1751-1831) Portrait of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France (1755-1793), standing full length by a porphyry column, holding flowers in a vase bearing a profile relief of Louis XVI signed ‘F Dumont’ and dated 1815 l.l., oil on canvas 68 x 54.5cm £2,000 - 3,000 Marie-Antoinette had herself painted, probably in 1791, as a vestal, standing next to an altar (identified by Olivier Blanc as an altar to amitié) and holding a vase of lilies with an image of Louis XVI. The pose is a standard one, though it may have been chosen to echo French Revolutionary imagery; certainly the fleurs-de-lys are an obvious royalist emblem. It is possible, too, that the picture portrays the more personal theme of conjugal love elevated into passionate friendship. Louis XVI was fond of the picture. According to Marguerite Jallut, the original gouache stood on his bureau in the Tuileries, whilst a smaller copy accompanied him on the flight to Varennes. The present painting is another of the same subject that Dumont painted in 1815.

This cabinet was ordered and delivered for the use of King Louis XVI in Fontainebleau. The order was number 265, on 16 October 1786, and is mentioned in the bill of the Marchand-Mercier Dominique Daguerre, ‘Pour le café du Roy-Daguerre une commode à deux vantaux fermant à clé de trois pieds de long d’ancienne marqueterie représentant des cubes l’un sur l’autre avec dessus de marbre brèche d’Alep 120’ (Bibliothèque Nationale of France, Ms Fr. 7817 fol.35). The underside of the marble top shows the inventory number 53 beneath a Royal Crown, bearing the letter F to denote the Château de Fontainebleau. The piece is described in the inventory of the garde-robe des seigneurs taken in 1787: No 53: ‘un bas d’armoire de marqueterie plaquée en mosaique de bois rose, violette sur fond gris ouvrant à deux vantaux, une tablette de dedans, entrée, agrafe et sabots de bronze doré, dessus de marbre brèche d’Alep de 3 pieds de large 18 de profondeur’. Etienne Levasseur received Master 1766. His signature on a piece of furniture such as this, which is not in his usual style, may indicate that this piece was restored by him rather than one of his production.

A Roadshow Trump? Bought from a dealer in general antiques several years previously, the present owners wanted to know more about their dog. They brought him to a BBC Antiques Roadshow in July 2014 where it was instantly recognised as a copy of the dog in Hogarth’s ’Manifesto’ self-portrait (1745). But a copy by whom - and when painted? - a contemporary? or someone later? or perhaps even by Hogarth himself? More research was needed. In a broadcast follow-up programme and after discussions with several Hogarth authorities, the owners were informed that their own dog was deemed to be a good 19th century copy, possibly executed in the National Gallery where, in the 19th century, artists were given out of-hours access to copy any chosen work on public view.

’Painter Pug’ Short, spirited and humorous, Hogarth enjoyed playing up to his public nickname ’Painter Pug’. Artist and faithful dog were often seen strolling the streets of London together. From his early paintings of the 1730s, to his very last self-portrait (1757/8), Hogarth frequently lightens or subverts the mood by introducing a pug, usually misbehaving and facing the viewer full-on. Hogarth owned at least three pugs over his lifetime, skittishly named Pug, Crab and, best-known of all, Trump. The 18th century pugdog was larger and more leggy than today’s often wheezy toy specimen. With human or monkey-like features, it was a perfect alter ego for a satirist. The pug’s comical presence among gentlefolk pricks - or ’trumps’ - a gathering of self-importance. Even today in Northern England a ’trump’ means ’a blast of wind from below’ - (Republicans, take note!). In his 1745 ’Manifesto’ self-portrait Hogarth, with conscious false modesty, places his tongue-in-cheek pet before himself. The artist’s look of sardonic amusement is countered by the dog’s troubled stare off-stage, in seeming mockery of his master’s literary aspirations - represented by the pile of tomes (Shakespeare, Milton and Swift) - upon which the inner ’trompe l’oeil’ oval canvas rests. The artist repeats the pug pose seen in his earlier Strode Family group portrait where a near-identical pug (Trump again?) upstages a family taking tea.

The Last Trump In his final, sad-poignant self-portrait (1758) Hogarth included his final pug. But then he changed his mind. An X-ray shows the irreverent pet cocking its leg against his Master’s chair. Perhaps feeling this might be regarded as a royal insult (Hogarth had only lately been appointed Serjeant Painter to the King), Hogarth seems to have lost his nerve and painted out the dog - but still there under the paint. After Hogarth’s death in 1764 his dog-and-master double-portrait stayed with his widow until her death twenty-five years later in 1789. Thence it changed hands, eventually entering the Angerstein Collection which, in 1824, inaugurated the newly founded National Gallery. Hogarth and his alter ego, took their final walk upstream to the Tate where they may be seen today.

Barrington Hall

ESSEX

Named after the Barrington family, the hereditary ‘woodwards’ or foresters of Hatfield Forest, the Grade II*-listed Barrington Hall was designed by architect John Sanderson, with construction commencing in the 1730s. Sitting near to where the original manor house would have been, in a 42-acre estate in the village of Hatfield Broad Oak, Essex, the hall was intended as a long-term family seat that would be large and grand enough to reflect the Barringtons’ prominent status. However, it was never completed and sat empty for over a century until it was inherited by a distant relative in 1863, George Lowndes, who lived in the hall until his death in 1904. Finally completed and remodelled in the Jacobean style, much of what we see today was built at this time, but incorporating some original eighteenth-century features, such as the marble and stucco reliefs in the drawing room. Since 2014, Barrington Hall has been sympathetically restored and furnished with a stylish mix of pieces that we are now offering for sale, from a Charles I oak tester bed, estimate £3,000-5,000, to a pair of French white-painted commodes with delicate swag and garland decoration, estimate £2,000-3,000.

The lantern features new stained glass panes recreated by a master stained glass artist. The original wrought iron frame has been repaired and reshaped by a skilled blacksmith, and the chain shortened, ready to hang in a modern home.

GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname of a recognised destination of an artist is or is probably a work by the artist, eg. David Cox. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that while a full designation is our highest category or authenticity, no unqualified statement as to the authorship is made or intended. A full cataloguing does not necessarily imply a full warranty. Attributed to David Cox in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.

Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.

Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt. A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. South Netherlands School, circa 1750.

Follower of David Cox in our opinion a work executed in the style of David Cox After David Cox in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist

All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.

Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

Condition reports are not included in the descriptions.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT (ARR) What is Artist’s Resale Right? Following a European Directive in 2006, the Artist’s Resale Right entitles creators of original works of art to a royalty each time their work is resold, with the involvement of an auction house, for 1,000 Euros or more. This right covers sales of work by living artists and also the beneficiaries and heirs of artists deceased within the last 70 years of the sale. How are resale royalties calculated? The artist’s royalty depends on the hammer price (sale price without any VAT or Buyer’s Premium). The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate. The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%. Hammer Price

Royalty

From 0 to €50,000

From €50,000.01 to €200,000

From €200,000.01 to €350,000

From €350,000.01 to €500,000

0.5%

Exceeding €500,000

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Artists who are nationals of these countries are therefore generally eligible to receive resale royalties. The nationality criteria only applies to the artist and not to the beneficiaries or heirs. Are all sales of artwork covered? The Artist’s Resale Right does not apply to all sales of artworks. A royalty is only due if the following conditions are met: • • • •

the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art; it is sold for more than €1000; it is sold in the secondary market with the involvement of an art market professional (e.g. auction house); and it is sold in the UK or another country in the European Economic Area (EEA).

0.25%

What is the qualifying threshold? An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for a royalty. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling must be worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork was sold.

228

What nationality must an artist be to qualify? The Artist’s Resale Right applies to the sale of artworks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The following countries are in the EEA:

This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser. It is exempt of VAT.

The lower estimate may represent the Reserve Price (the minimum Price for which a Lot may be sold) and will not be below the Reserve Price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the Auctioneer before the auction of the Lot. They are not definitive. Buyer’s Premium The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a Buyer’s Premium at 25% on the Hammer Price of each Lot purchased, except for our Fine Wine and Port auctions when it is 15%. In addition, VAT is charged on these Premiums (see below). VAT Items in our catalogue may be marked with a dagger † or double dagger ‡, which indicates that VAT is payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium at either the standard rate (currently 20%) or a reduced rate (currently 5%), depending upon the legal requirements relating to that Lot. Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the Hammer Price. This is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Shipping Costs are liable for VAT and are payable by the Buyer. Inspection of Goods by the Buyer As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Goods. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the Goods. You must inspect and investigate Lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 12.4. Condition reports We may be able to assist Buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending Buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale. Shipping of Goods We offer a delivery service for Lots purchased. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale on our website under each Lot and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be automatically calculated, such as furniture, you can obtain a bespoke Shipping Cost from our website to any destination in the world either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased. Estimates of Shipping Costs on our website are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price. www.sworder.co.uk

Electrical goods These are sold as ‘antiques’ only. If you buy electrical Goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them. Export of Goods If you intend to export Goods you must find out: a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing Goods of that character e.g. because the Goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Bidding Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We Reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a Commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value Lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion. Commission bidding You may leave Commission bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding the Buyers’ Premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute Commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Buyers submit identical Commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving Commission bids online via our Website, though please contact us about leaving bids by telephone or fax/email. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute Commission bids received after this time. Telephone bidding If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value Lots. Please note that this service is for Lots with an estimate of £500 or more. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason. Online bidding Any Lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional Commission charge on the Hammer Price payable by the Bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. From 1 January 2020, these charges will be charged at 0% while bidding via Sworders Website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. These charges will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our Buyer’s Commission.

IMPORTANT NOTICES Removal of Lots All Lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Sworders retain the right to remove Lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made. Electrical Goods All electrical Goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified safe or unsafe by an appropriately qualified electrician. All electrical Goods certified safe must be re-Commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-Commissioned. Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling. Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra) To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items have Article 10 certificates. If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number. It is therefore the responsibility of commercial Buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. Items are marked with this sign §.

Our liability to you 14.1 We will not be liable for any loss of opportunity or disappointment suffered as a result of participating in our auction. 14.2 In addition to the above, neither we nor the Seller shall be responsible to you and you shall not be responsible to the Seller or us for any other loss or damage that any of us suffer that is not a foreseeable result of any of us not complying with the Terms and Conditions.

Partial exercise of any right under these Terms of Sale will not preclude any further or other exercise of that right or any other right under these Terms of Sale. Waiver of a breach of any term of these Terms of Sale will not operate as a waiver of breach of any other term or any subsequent breach of that term. 17.7 These Terms of Sale and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including any non-contractual claims or disputes) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
