The UK has agreed to follow the existing Artist’s Resale Right (ARR) regulations under the Brexit trade deal that came into effect earlier this month.

The settlement includes clauses relating to the resale levy in which both the EU and UK have committed to continuing ARR as part of the level playing field.

Although the text of the agreement may disappoint some Brexiteers in the art market who hoped the UK would be able to pursue a different course after leaving the EU, it does appear to allow for some leeway in terms of changing how ARR operates and even the levels at which the charges apply.

Currently under ARR, royalties are paid on original works of art when they are resold by an art market professional and the sale price exceeds €1000. The amount due is calculated on a sliding scale and is capped at €12,500.

The levy gives creators of original works across their lifetime, and their family for 70 years after their death, the right to receive a payment when their work is resold.

In theory, the UK could change the percentages and thresholds, although the government has not indicated it would consider doing so.

ARR is here to stayBrexit deal retains fee to create level playing field

Virtual StatesDealers, collectors and curators traditionally head to New York and Florida in January and February for a wide array of events. However, this year has inevitably been shaken up by coronavirus restrictions and no large gatherings will be held. A few dealers and galleries will be open by appointment but most exhibitions will be accessible only from a computer.

However, plenty of works can still be found in the many shows alongside a mix of online only and live auctions. Shown above is Pax by Carl Johan Forsberg, which appears in an exhibition staged by London gallery Stephen Ongpin Fine Art taking place in the Big Apple as part of the latest edition of Master Drawings New York.

Blake Morgan LLP and author of Artist’s Resale Right: A Guide to Law and Practice, told ATG: “The inclusion of ARR in the final Brexit deal should not come as a surprise.

“The UK had already stated its intention to retain ARR in UK law in the Political Declaration relating to Brexit made in October 2019 and had already put in place legal provisions for ARR to continue to fully operate in the UK, whether or not there was a deal with the EU.

“However, the Brexit deal does not commit the UK to continue to retain ARR in its current form. This means the UK will have more flexibility than currently in how it applies the right – it can revisit how the right is collected and also the thresholds and royalty amounts.”

Tariffs riskIf a future UK government decided to revoke ARR entirely, as some dealers and auctioneers have called for, the EU could respond by calling for arbitration and, should that fail, the imposition of retaliatory tariffs (although Stokes pointed out that such a scenario appears unlikely).

The Brexit deal contains a string of other changes for the art market.

Most immediately, trade will no longer be frictionless – customs and regulatory checks now apply when

Brexit deal: When UK purchasers buy works of art in Europe, import VAT of 5% will apply

Man City owner was buyer of oldest FA Cup

BADA appoints director of strategy and operations to new-look team

Trade and Cooperation Agreement

by Tom Derbyshire

Continued from front page

moving items between the UK and the EU (see ATG No 2472).

There are also extra considerations for items subject to CITES guides.

VAT variationsRudy Capildeo, partner at law firm Charles Russell Speechlys, pointed to other key changes including that, while the Temporary Admission scheme remains in place (meaning duties and taxes are not charged when works of art are imported in order to be exhibited or auctioned), EU buyers will now pay import VAT in their respective country when they make purchases in the UK (assuming the goods were also sourced in the UK).

The oldest surviving FA Cup was bought by Manchester City FC owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed when it sold at a London auction last year, it has now been revealed.

Presented to the winning teams between 1896-1910, the trophy was in fact the first major honour won by City thanks to their 1-0 win over Bolton Wanderers in 1904 in a game played at Crystal Palace.

Offered at the Bonhams Sporting Trophies Sale in New Bond Street, London, on September 29 with an estimate of £700,000-900,000, it had sold for a premium-inclusive £759,062. There were fears the

cup would head abroad but it is staying in England – City will loan the trophy to the National Fo ot ba l l Mu s eu m i n Manchester indefinitely.

Kinnaird provenanceWhen this cup was ‘retired’ it was presented in 1911 to FA president and former footballer Lord Kinnaird (1847-1923) in recognition of his service and remained in the Kinnaird family until 2005. Kinnaird is regarded as the first football ‘star’ and played in nine FA Cup finals, winning two with Old Etonians and three with Wanderers.

The silver two-handled trophy was cast from a mould of the original, which was stolen in 1895 while held by

Aston Villa and was never recovered. Made by Vaughton & Sons, Birmingham, in 1896, a note on the underside reads Made By P Vaughton & Sons Birmingham 1896 From A Cast Of The Old Cup Which Was Lost.

The cup had been bought in May 2005 by the then Birmingham City chairman David Gold for £420,000 at Christie’s South Kensington, the price setting a record for a piece of sporting memorabilia. It had up until recently been on display at the National Football Museum, lent by Gold, who is now joint chairman of West Ham United.

Manchester City date back to the 1880 St Mark’s (West Gorton) club and their present name was adopted in 1894.

They won the Second Division in 1899.

They were the first Manchester club to taste success in the FA Cup – United won this same trophy in 1909, beating Bristol City 1-0.

Signed at the end of last year, the Brexit deal (or ‘Trade and Cooperation Agreement’ to give it its full title) includes a large series of measures that maintain the level playing field, including a detailed section relating to intellectual property.

Within this section on page 130 of the agreement, Article IP.13 states: ‘Each Party shall provide, for the benefit of the author of an original work of graphic or plastic art, a resale right, to be defined as an inalienable right, which cannot be waived, even in advance, to receive a royalty based on the sale price obtained for any resale of the work, subsequent to the first transfer of the work by the author.’

The language in this clause is similar to the EU directive on ARR that has been applied in

EU countries since 2006, although the text in the Brexit agreement is considerably less detailed (four clauses as opposed to over 50 in the EU directive).

Simon Stokes pointed out that overall the wording in the Brexit deal is in fact closer to what the Berne Convention on international copyright says about ARR.

The Brexit deal also states that ‘the procedure for collection… and their amounts shall be determined by the law of each Party’, which appears to allow for some divergence in the charges and how they operate in the future.

One aspect the UK could change quite easily and quickly would be to change the ARR thresholds and bands so they are calculated in pounds rather than euros.

The average import VAT rate applied by the UK’s top six EU trading partners is 9.2%.

When UK purchasers buy in Europe, import VAT of 5% will apply.

The Brexit deal also contains clauses relating to cultural property under the ‘Trade in Goods’ section (Article Goods 20, p26 of the agreement).

While the UK and EU have pledged to work together to return illicitly removed cultural property from the territories of either side, the UK has not signed up to EU regulations relating to cultural goods sourced from elsewhere.

Since January 1 the rules have also changed for EU nationals moving to or opening a business in the UK with the same true vice-versa.

Right: Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed is the new owner of this 1896 FA Cup trophy made by Vaughton & Sons of Birmingham.

The British Antique Dealers’ Association (BADA) has reorganised its team and created a new role of director of strategy and operations.

It will no longer have the position of chief executive. Instead, the newly appointed director of strategy and operations, Kathryn

Singer, will work alongside secretary general Mark Dodgson. She has previously worked at dealership Lorfords in both Tetbury and in London and most recently as its general manager in Tetbury.

BADA’s former chief executive, Marco Forgione, resigned in 2019 to head the

Institute of Export and International Trade. The association recently appointed Louise Phillips as new chairman of its council.

It is still searching for a new president. Asian art specialist Roger Keverne is currently interim president.

Rushbrooks replaces Bellmans in Winchester

An auctioneer has put his own name above the door after working for more than three decades in the same Winchester saleroom.

Iain Rushbrook has 42 years of auction house experience, with 35 of them spent at The Red House on Hyde Street in Winchester.

He has now renamed the firm Rushbrooks Auctioneers as a new venture with backing from Swedish firm Auctionet.

Over the years Rushbrook and The Red House saleroom had operated under the banner of Phillips, Son & Neale and Bonhams, before becoming part of Bellmans in 2016.

After an amicable agreement between the parties, Bellmans

will focus on its main saleroom in Wisborough Green, West Sussex, and its off ice in London.

Remaining with Rushbrook in Winchester are Fabio Caliri, Sonya Wiebers and Jacob Carpenter. Joining the team as

Click-and-collect services from non-essential retail will now no longer be allowed in Scotland, meaning only delivery and courier services can operate for art and antiques shops and auction houses under current coronavirus restrictions.

This is in line with the current rules in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. In mainland Scotland the latest lockdown began on January 5, with non-essential retail closed. In Northern Ireland all non-essential retail businesses closed from December 26 and Ireland returned to its highest-level lockdown (level 5) at the end of December with non-essential shops closed.

Munich museum buys stele from London dealership

Missing lot reported as stolen

Scottish lockdown changes

An Egyptian polychrome painted limestone relief from the 12th dynasty has been bought by the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich, Germany.

London and New York-based art dealers Oliver Forge and Brendan Lynch have sold the c.1938-1850BC stele for in excess of £40,000.

The 16in (41cm) high stele had previously been sold in Frankfurt in 1976 and was in a private German collection until 2016.

Respect to HorusIt shows a husband and wife holding hands and standing before a table laden with food and drink. It also includes an inscription in hieroglyphic and hieratic text reading ‘[O] Horus, Great of Respect. I am a falcon of gold I am’.

Forge and Lynch said a similar example, possibly by the same hand, is in the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden, Leiden, in the Netherlands.

The Munich museum has purchased the stele because it fills a gap in the collection.

It will be shown together

picture director is James Harvey, who worked with Rushbrook in Winchester at Phillips, Son & Neale 30 years

ago. Harvey has also previously worked at dealership Mallet and The Fine Art Auction Group.

M a n a g i n g d i r e c t o r Rushbrook, who started his career in London in the saleroom of Harrods Estate Offices before moving back to Winchester in 1979 to Pearsons Auctions’ Tower House saleroom, is co-owner with Auctionet.

The first online sale under the new banner launches this week.

Bellmans senior director Philip Belcher said: “It was a strategic decision to focus on our Sussex saleroom and our good consignment office in London. In Sussex we have a huge saleroom that allows for plenty of space to operate in a Covid-secure way.”

Above: the 12th Dynasty polychrome stele bought by the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich.

A Wiltshire auction house has alerted the trade to a missing collection of porcelain.

Thames Valley Police and the Art Loss Register have been notified the collection has been stolen.

It was offered as a lot in an online auction held by Kidson Trigg near Highworth, Swindon, in Wiltshire on November 26

The mixed lot included three Meissen-style cherubs, a First Period

Worcester coffee pot and teabowl, a French cache pot and a rococo-style box. It went missing from Kidson Trigg’s saleroom sometime between November 27 and December 15.

Kidson Trigg hopes to recover the items and return them to the purchaser of the lot. Anyone with information on this theft should call 101 quoting the police crime reference number 43200426981 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

News Digest

Sotheby’s Paris on the move by 2023 Sotheby’s Paris headquarters will be moving to a new site in 2023, where Galerie Bernheim Jeune was previously located on rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

The Galerie Bernheim-Jeune, housed on the same site since 1925, played a major role in the development of the 20th century art market. The new premises will enable Sotheby’s to develop its exhibition space.

New US rules on money launderingThe Anti-Money Laundering Act 2020 (AMLA) was passed in Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act in the US on January 1. Among the changes in this AMLA is that antiquities deal-ers, advisers and consultants have been added to the defini-tion of “financial institutions” that are subject to anti-money laundering rules.

This means they must meet certain record-keeping, report-ing and other AML compliance requirements. The new law also directs the Department of Treasury and the Department of Justice to conduct an

assessment of the ways in which the art trade facilitates money laundering and terror financing, and to recommend to Congress the degree to which the art market should be subject to AML regulations.

Robinson and Jones promotedDreweatts has promoted two members of staff.

Joe Robinson has been appointed head of house sales and private collections. He has worked in Dreweatts’ business development team for three years and previously in the chairman’s office at Christie’s after graduating from the Uni-versity of Nottingham in 2016.

Imogen Jones has been appointed office manager at Dreweatts’ Pall Mall office in St James’s. She will work with the team of specialists based in London.

She previously worked on the refurbishment project of the Dreweatts offices and joined the firm in 2019 as the admin-istrator for its Pall Mall office and Bloomsbury Auctions. After graduating in 2015 from Durham University, she worked with a number of London galleries and auction houses before joining Christie’s in 2017.

Funding boosts bookbinding The Clothworkers’ Company has helped fund a course in bookbinding. The last full-time bookbinding course in the UK (the Queen’s Bindery Appren-ticeship Scheme at Windsor Castle) ceased last year due to Covid-19.

However, now thanks to this funding West Dean College of Arts and Conservation near Chichester has received

support for its Designer Book-binders’ ‘Transferring Design initiative’ which encourages students on allied courses in UK universities and colleges to consider a career in bookbinding.

The programme funding has enabled Kate Holland, a fellow of Designer Bookbinders, to teach a course within the grad-uate diploma in conservation studies, specialising in books and library materials.

Holland said: “Hand book-binding forms an important part of our national heritage and techniques such as edge gliding and gold finishing are in serious danger of being lost forever. The Clothworkers’ Company, in collaboration with Designer Bookbinders, have been incredibly support-ive and generous with their funding.”

Huge bequest for Williamsburg The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation has received its most significant American decorative arts bequest in its 90-year history. It comes from the Joseph and June Hennage Collection which comprises more than 400 objects includ-ing paintings, prints, antique

Aroma therapy: the c.1800 perfumes concealed in a bookThe luxury perfumery l’Officina Profuma Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella in Florence is considered the oldest pharmacy in the world.

With its origins rooted in the experiments of Dominican monks, a retail operation was established in Via Reginaldo Giuliani in 1612 by Fra Angiolo Marchissi and it remained in the ownership of the Church of Santa Maria Novella until 1866.

In an era when sweet-smelling aromas were thought to counter the spread of disease, scented waters were deemed as important to a ‘modern’ pharmacy as curative tonics and digestive aids. Acqua della Regina, the first perfume to use alcohol rather than vinegar or olive oil as a base, was given by the chemists of Santa Maria to patron Catherine de Medici before her departure for France in 1533.

HIGHEST MULTIPLE OVER TOP ESTIMATE

Country house auctions on the way this monthGolding Young & Mawer is to offer the untouched collection of a Warwickshire country house at the end of the month.

Newbold Pacey Hall has been the seat of the Little family since the house was built by William Little in c.1780-90, when he inherited the site and an older, probably Tudor house. Both the Grade II-listed mansion and its contents are up for sale.

Among the highlights of the two-day auction on January 27-28 is a portrait of William Little, c.1826, by Thomas Kirkby (1796-c.1847) estimated at £1000-2000.

Other highlights include a Barraud of Cornhill George III mahogany longcase clock estimated at £1500-2000 and a late 17th-early 18th century Japanned cabinet estimated at £3000-5000. Among the Grand Tour-related items in the sale are two pictures by Jacob More (1740-93), including The Falls of Tivoli which is estimated at £20,000-30,000.

Grand Tour via virtualAlso with a Grand Tour theme, but this time with a modern slant, the auction of the contents of a 17th century Grade I-listed country house, Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire, is being held by Dreweatts. As reported in ATG No 2471, Aynhoe Park: The Celebration of a Modern Grand Tour will take place on January 20-22.

The auction house has created a virtual tour of the home, powered by technology firm Matterport, which shows each room with the lots in situ. Clicking on any of them brings up its catalogue description.

Covid-19 may have played havoc with the jewellery fairs and auction calendar but it has done little to dull the appetite for quality antique and vintage pieces. Last year’s trends – high gold prices and exceptional demand for coloured gemstones and jewellery by celebrated ateliers – look set to continue in 2021. Here Roland Arkell previews sales.

The contents sale of Newbold Pacey Hall in Warwickshire by Golding Young & Mawer (24% buyer’s premium) on January 27-28 includes this rare collection of hair lockets.

Each in a labelled gold frame, they purport to offer locks of hair from Edward IV, George II, George III, Queen Charlotte, Ernest King of Hanover, George IV, William IV and The Duke of Wellington.

Samples of hair from the Wars of the Roses monarch Edward IV’s tomb were collected when his tomb was rediscovered in March 1789 during the restoration of St George’s Chapel, Windsor.

When the lead coffin was opened tufts of long brown hair were found near the skull, with shorter hair of the same colour on the neck of the skeleton.

The collection is offered together with an account of the opening of another royal exhumation at Windor Castle – that of Charles I on April 1, 1813 – as penned by the royal physician Sir Henry Halford who was witness to the occasion.

The estimate is £1500-2500.Newbold Pacey Hall has been the seat of the Little family since the house was

Christie’s New York (25/20/14.5% buyer’s premium) holds an online sale of Chanel fashion jewellery that closes on January 29. The Susan and Karl of the auction title references Susan Gutfreund and the couturier Karl Lagerfeld, who personally gave her costume jewels made for the Chanel runway.

Many of these pieces are prototypes from the late 20th century, not originally intended for a retail consumer. As such, many of the lots are fragile (and may not withstand regular wear or use) but most are rarities. This pair of oversized earrings, each designed as a faux pearl suspending a gilt metal and resin urn, 4½in (11cm) high, is estimated at $3000-5000.

This gold, silver and enamel pendant locket to be offered by Fellows (23/15% buyer’s premium) in Birmingham on January 21 is modelled as an officer’s helmet of the Russian Imperial Guard. Opening to reveal two compartments, it has the mark of Erik August Kollin (1836-1901), the head work master at Fabergé from 1872-86.

A handful of these novelties, made for the loved ones of imperial guardsmen, are known including another in the Hermitage and the example from the Hammer collection that sold at Sotheby’s for £5000 in November 2019.

According to its label from the Russian Exhibition held in New York and Chicago in 1933-34, the latter was from the playroom of Tsesarevich Alexei at Alexander Palace and originally contained photographs of Nicholas II and the empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

Fellows expects its example to bring £1800-2400.The Imperial Guard, the bulk of the regiments stationed in and around St Petersburg

in peacetime, was disbanded after the October Revolution in 1917. Ben Randall, specialist at Fellows, says it is “a delight to be able to offer something with such emotive narrative encapsulated in such a small piece”.

Magna Carta shines in silver‘Exceptional’ Victorian piece that made £56,000 leads a look at recent notable sale results

Hansons’ (25% buyer’s premium) Derbyshire Fine Art Sale in Etwall on December 7-8 included an exceptional piece of Victorian silver: a sculptural group by Hunt & Roskell.

Marked to all elements for London 1880, the subject, modelled by George A Carter (1841-1918), depicts King John signing the Magna Carta in front of three barons, the Archbishop of Canterbury and two pages.

According to the presentation plaque, which includes a vignette of the Tower of London, it was given to the marine engineer Liberal MP Joseph d’Aguilar Samuda (1813-85) in 1880 by a large number of his friends and former constituents in the Tower Hamlets in recognition of the important services he has rendered to the borough.

The walnut stand on which it sits is carved with the Samuda coat-of-arms.

Exhibited at the South Kensington Museum (later the V&A) in 1884, it was sold by a descendant together with an eight leaf illuminated presentation manuscript and a guide of £20,000-30,000. It did rather better, selling at £56,000.

Warwick vase styleUnlike January (deprived of two major specialist sales following postponements at Woolley & Wallis and Lawrences of Crewkerne), December offered plenty for the silver buyer.

Silver in the sale of Fine Decorative Arts 1200-1900 at Bonhams (27.5/25% buyer’s premium) on December 18 was topped at £50,000 by a pair of Paul Storr wine coolers (London 1821) modelled in the form of the Warwick vase. They weighed 216oz and stood 8in (20cm) high.

However, alongside its set-piece of Georgian and Victorian plate, this sale was also memorable for an 8in (20cm) 17th century Dutch silver beaker by the Delft silversmith Pieter Groen. Its theme is education.

Dated 1667, it was made at a time when the Dutch education system was becoming secularised. The underside of the base is engraved with a scene of a teacher and his pupils.

Translated into English, the inscriptions read The School Orders in

Auction Reports Hammer highlights

the City of Delft were published on 29 July A[nn]o 1663 and (alongside six names) These are the promoters of our exams and orders whereby this city will create good school teachers, under the wise guidance of our Magistrate who are good enough to enter into their new job for the benefit of society.

Groen became a master of the Delft silversmiths’ guild in 1646, and was four times appointed assayer, the last time in 1668. This fine example of his output was guided at £3000-4000 but sold at £28,000.

Storr soup platesThe sale at Dreweatts (25% buyer’s premium) in Donnington Priory on December 8 included a set of twelve 10in (25cm) silver hexafoil soup plates by Paul Storr.

With clear marks for London 1813, these also had crisp crests of an eagle preying on a partridge (the same design as a crest used by the Biss family). The hammer price was well above hopes at a healthy £17,000.

Unexpected levels of competition

arrived for an early Victorian silver shaped oblong inkstand made in the Dutch naturalistic taste by the Barnard family (London 1840).

The design, measuring 15in (38cm) across the handles, includes a central detachable taperstick and it seemed to have gained further admirers for a presentation inscription reading The Gift of the Rev’d Cr. Wordsworth, Master of Trinity Col. Cam. to E&D Quillinan July 6, 1841.

Christopher Wordsworth (1774-1846) was an English divine and scholar and the youngest brother of the poet William Wordsworth. Edward Quillinan (1791-1851), himself a poet, was William’s champion and (after marrying his daughter Dora) his son-in-law. This inkstand is thought to have been a wedding present.

Estimated at an appealing £400-600, it took £4200.

Of particular interest for its marks – those of George Gordon who traded from 18 Popham’s Broadway in Madras from 1821-45 – was an

1. Victorian silver sculptural group by Hunt & Roskell – £56,000 at Hansons.

2. Cartier gold, silver and onyx desk clock and weather station – £24,000 at Dreweatts.

3. Early Victorian ink stand with a Wordsworth family presentation inscription – £4800 at Dreweatts.

4. Indian colonial tureen by George Gordon of Madras (with detail of mark inset) – £4800 at Dreweatts.

5. Pair of Queen Anne tapersticks – £4600 at Roseberys.

6. 17th century Dutch silver beaker – £28,000 at Bonhams.

8. Early 18th century Austrian parcel gilt tumbler cup – £1200 at Kingham & Orme.

Indian colonial tureen and cover. Standing 8in (20cm) and weighing just over 32oz, its nulled decoration was punctuated by a finial cast as an armorial. In very nice condition, it took £2600 (estimate £300-500).

However, few pieces in the sale could compete with the timeless draw of early 20th century Cartier.

As noted in a presentation inscription, a 4½in (11cm) high silver, gold and onyx desk accoutrement was given as a gift by British industrialist, financier and Member of Parliament Henry Mond (1898-1949), the 2nd Baron Melchett, to his long time personal assistant PW Cushion after 45 years’ service. It came by direct descent.

With import marks for 1912, to each of the four sides was a dial comprising clock, thermometer, barometer and perpetual calendar. Although it had been poorly maintained (and the box and travel case are not by Cartier), it sailed over a guide of £2500-3500 to bring £24,000.

Jensen mazarineGeorg Jensen tableware is similarly a market of its own.

Aberdeenshire firm Huntly Auctions (15% buyer’s premium) of Turriff quickly ran out of phone bids for a rare silver mazarine and cover that was offered on November 24 as part of the effects from a Highlands estate.

Measuring over 18in (46cm) across, its most striking feature was a stylised finial formed as a bird feeding on a branch of berries. The scarce design is by Harald Nielsen (1892-1977), with London import marks for 1937 underlining this was a pre-war piece rather than a later issue.

Much admired by all who viewed it in Turriff or online for its size, style and condition, it provoked a bidding contest that began around the low estimate of £1500 but ended at £37,500.

Tapersticks burn brightSilver at Roseberys’ (25% buyer’s premium) Fine and Decorative sale on November 25 enjoyed a 95% selling rate.

Estimated to make £1000-1500 was a pair of 8in (20cm) Queen Anne tapersticks with marks for Thomas Merry, London 1709. Made in the Britannia standard silver compulsory at the time, these were in very nice condition and went on to take £4600.

Merry, who was active from 1701-24, appears to have been a specialist candlestick maker, with many assuming this model with an octagonal base and baluster stem.

Sold at £2600 was an impressive George II twin-handled cup decorated to both the lower half and the cover with scroll and foliate motifs. Standing 12in (30cm) high and weighing 66oz, it had rubbed maker’s marks for London 1737.

Mannerist and moreKingham & Orme (23% buyer’s premium) dedicated the first sale day of three from December 3-5 in Evesham to nearly 500 lots of silver and jewellery.

Two early Continental pieces of silver gilt were of particular note. An 8in (20cm) high cup and cover of typical Mannerist form and decoration was marked for the Nuremburg silversmith David Lauer or Laue, c.1590, while an Austrian tumbler cup engraved with three pastoral vignettes was struck for Johannes Sottenreich, Vienna 1712.

The former sold just shy of the low estimate at £5700, while the latter, with a provenance to SJ Phillips, made £1200. n

Two exceptional examples of ethnographic art – one from the north-west coast of America, the other for Polynesia – sold in the UK regions on December 17. Both made prices way above token estimates.

Although described as ‘possibly Maori’ and estimated at just £20-30, a 9in (18cm) carved wooden vessel offered by John Nicholson’s (25% buyer’s premium) in Haselmere was more probably by the Haida or Tlingit peoples.

Grease bowls such as this were used to serve food – the largest vessels made for great feasts, the smaller domestic bowls used in the family home. Typically, they held ‘eulachon’ (candlefish oil) or rendered seal oil, an important food source used as an accompaniment to the dried fish or meats.

It was spotted by a number of knowledgeable bidders and sold for £26,000. The buyer was from Canada.

Intoxicating in FijiAt Rendells (18% buyer’s premium) of Ashburton in Devon on the same day a Fijian hardwood libation vessel carved in the form of a duck sold at £4600 (estimate £150-200).

As detailed by an old collection label, this refined priest’s vessel for drinking yaqona (the intoxicating liquor of the pepper plant) had been acquired on the island of Viti Levu by a Rev Benedict – presumably one of the many missionaries who travelled to Polynesia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to put an end to pagan ceremonies.

Some of the pieces they brought back as souvenirs were hugely inventive: a similar vessel taking the form of a man was ‘borrowed’ by Christopher Dresser and made in Linthorpe pottery and cast in iron.

An equivalent duck-form Fijian priest’s bowl in the Sainsbury collection is described as one of only four of its type known.

This Mamluk-style pottery basin decorated with a band of kufic script is in fact the creation of the French ‘father of art pottery’ Theodore Deck (1823-91).

Inspired by the zeitgeist of Orientalism which pervaded French society in the second half of the 19th century, he was famed for Middle Eastern-type artefacts with bright glazes mimicking those found on Iznik and other Islamic ceramics.

This 16in (38cm) bowl displays the

deep turquoise he developed, known as ‘bleu de Deck’. At Hannam’s (23% buyer’s premium) in Selborne, Hampshire, on January 4 it more than doubled hopes

to bring £4200.

Auction Reports Hammer highlights

The sale at W&H Peacock (17.5% buyer’s premium) in Bedford on January 1 included, estimated at £200-300, this pair of mahogany waterfall-style bookcases (right).

A popular form, with adjustable pine shelves, turned feet and brass castors, they also gained much from being a pair and an accessible size at 3ft (89cm) wide. Despite their outwardly tired condition (one leg is missing as are some mouldings) they promised to restore well.

The hammer price was £4800.

These Jacobite roundels carry the portraits of Charles Edward Stuart (1720-88) and his brother Henry Benedict Stuart (1725-1807). The Bonnie Prince is shown in his youthful pomp, shortly before 1745 and all that, while Henry, the final Jacobite heir to publicly claim the thrones of England and Scotland, appears as an adolescent.

Both Stuart brothers spent much of their lives in Italy (both were born, raised and died in Rome) and it is likely that these portrait plaques, rendered in alabaster with octagonal ebonized and brass mounted frames, were made c.1740 to appeal to Jacobite milords enjoying the Grand Tour.

Each of the 12in (30cm) roundels suspended bronze medals reading Legitimacy of the Jacobite Succession.

The rare pair were guided at £2000-3000 at Stride & Son (18% buyer’s premium) of Chichester on December 18. However, multiple admirers and keen bidding took the pair to £19,500.

‘Attagirls’ items fly high at two auctionsMemorabilia relating to members of a pioneering elite group of female pilots who flew in the Second World War soared over estimates at two auction houses, writes Tom Derbyshire.

The Air Transport Auxiliary, responsible for delivering new or repaired planes to RAF bases around the country during the war, used an initial team of eight women pilots, to free up time for fighter pilots to concentrate on training.

Intrepid flierAn MBE medal awarded to one of them – Flight Lieutenant Joan Lily Amelia Hughes (1918-93) – was sold by Chilcotts (21% buyer’s premium) in Honiton on December 12 for £5800 (estimate £200-300).

Hughes, who was the youngest of the group nicknamed the ‘Attagirls’, flew nearly 100 different craft including Stirling and Lancaster bombers (with the help of a cushion and an engineer to help her reach the levers and controls).

The MBE was sold together with a Pike Trophy medal awarded in 1980 and a related scrapbook.

Hughes had become interested in flying after her brother Douglas started learning, and she asked if she could do it too. They both learnt with the East Anglian Flying Club

at Abridge. She was just 15 when she took her first solo flight in a Gypsy One Moth biplane, securing her licence at 17 to become the youngest flyer in England.

She went on to become a flying instructor, training with Rosamund King Everard-Steenkamp of the ATA, the first woman to pilot a

Spitfire and a jet aircraft (but was killed in a demonstration accident in 1946).

After the war she began a career as a stunt pilot – flying Kenneth More’s spitfire in Reach for the Sky (1956) and a replica of the diminutive 1909 Demoiselle in Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965).

She stood in for George Peppard during the dogfight movie The Blue Max (1966) and served as Lady Penelope’s stunt pilot in the original Thunderbirds series, famously flying under a bridge on the M40 motorway while under construction in 1967, a daring deed for which she was prosecuted but was later cleared of all charges.

Logbooks in demandAt Exeter saleroom Bearnes Hampton & Littlewood (23% buyer’s premium) on December 15, six pilot’s logbooks belonging to Rosemary Rees MBE (1906-95), another of the eight original ATA women, took £7400 against an estimate of £400-600.

Brian Goodison-Blanks of BHL said: “A private collector in the UK outbid all of the competition on the phone.

“They had also been interested in the medal in Honiton [at Chilcotts – see left] but as it had been presented post war, their interest in the period logbooks was greater.”

The logbooks dated from June 25, 1933 (Trial Lesson in a Club Cadet) to June 23, 1947, and were offered together with a leather flying helmet, leather gloves, two photograph albums, photographs of Rees as a dancer and related ephemera and books on flying.

Rees began her early career as a dancer travelling around the world and performing in Ceylon, China and the US.

After her trial lesson in 1933 she gained her full licence after only six hours of flying time. By the time she joined the ATA she had obtained her instructor’s licence and over 600 hours flying time.

As one of the first female pilots of the ATA she began to fly a wide range of aircraft including Spitfires, Hurricanes and Mosquitos as well as larger four engine aircraft.

In 1941 she became deputy to Margot Gore at the all-female ferry pool at Hamble-on-Solent, eventually flying 91 different types of aircraft.

“For close to 50 years she took her clothes off for almost every artist who passed through Liverpool

Striking a pose for nearly 50 years

Auction Reports Art market

A group of works from the collection of the life model June Furlong proved a sell-out at Hansons (25% buyer’s premium) at the end of last year.

All 59 lots in the consignment got away, raising a total of £42,000. While the provenance and attractive estimates ensured decent interest throughout, one lot in particular commanded hefty bidding and provided over half the total raised.

Furlong, who was from Liverpool, began as an artist’s model aged 17 after the painter Don McKinlay suggested that she pose for students at Liverpool College of Art (now part of Liverpool John Moores University).

As her obituary in The Times noted: “For close to 50 years she took her clothes off for almost every artist who passed through Liverpool.” They included a young John Lennon who studied at the college in the late 1950s.

Furlong also spent a five-year spell in London, modelling at the Slade and the Royal College of Art. Among the aspiring artists who painted her there were Lucian Freud, who described her as “an exotic creature with a deep penetrating mind”, and Frank Auerbach.

She kept modelling until she was 65 and remained active on the Liverpool art scene throughout her life, organising exhibitions and publishing an autobiography titled June – a Life Study in 2000. She died in November last year aged 90.

Quick turn-aroundThe consignment came about after a contact of Hansons’ head of fine art Adrian Rathbone was assigned to oversee the estate. The turn-around was relatively quick and the lots were offered in the firm’s December 10-11 auction at Bishton Hall in Staffordshire.

Among the Furlong lots was a group of five monochrome prints depicting female nudes by Frank Auerbach (b.1931). Offered together but lightly catalogued and estimated at £800-1200, a number of parties recognised that were in fact part of a set of six works that represent the artist’s earliest recorded works as a printmaker.

The 6 x 6in (15 x 15cm) etchings were all based on life drawings that

he had made at the Royal College of Art or at the Borough Polytechnic in the 1950s. Auerbach chose six out of the several hundred drawings he had done (the majority of which were later destroyed) and reproduced them on small square alloy plates using a nail set into a pen holder.

All of the prints, for which he had used the back of a spoon to rub down the dampened wove paper, were effectively proofs as there was no published edition.

Around 12 sets of the six prints were produced in all and most ended up with Auerbach’s friends and fellow artists. While it is not known how Furlong acquired her set of five, it is believed that she was the model for one of the etchings. The one missing from her set was that in which she was thought to be the sitter.

In any case though, the appearance of any of these prints on the market is a rare event. The lot generated considerable pre-sale interest and an

A miniature by Henry Bone (1755-1834) depicting the American artist Benjamin West (1738-1820) was among the notable lots at the recent Hansons sale at Bishton Hall (also see main story left).

Painted in enamel on copper, it dated from 1803 and was signed by Bone. It came to auction with an intriguing provenance.

On the back of the 7 x 5¾in (18 x 14.5cm) miniature (right) was an inscription stating that it was based on an original self-portrait that West painted in 1800, with the artist showing himself as very much the academic figure seated at his desk with a classical bust behind.

On separate backing paper which accompanied the lot was another inscription stating that West had given it as gift to his daughter-in-law, Mrs Raphael West, in 1820. According to the Hansons’ catalogue, the vendor’s late husband was descended from the West family on his mother’s side.

Prices for Bone miniatures vary quite widely and, while some can easily reach strong five-figure sums, many also sell for a range of four-figure prices. While condition, size and date all play a part, the most important factor is normally simply how appealing and rare is the subject.

Estimated at £3000-5000, this example sold at £5500 to a US buyer. The price was in line with other works by Bone of leading gentlemen of the period – for example a miniature of statesman Charles James Fox made £5000 at Christie’s in November 2019.

Reappearing in the same saleroom after a six-year interval, a landscape by Edmund Morison Wimperis (1835-1900) attracted attention at a recent auction held by Halls (20% buyer’s premium) of Shrewsbury.

The 2ft x 3ft (61 x 92cm) oil on canvas, Across the Common, was a vintage example of his airy views painted on one of his visits to southern England and Wales. Commercially, the presence of figures walking was a bonus which, together with its good size, raised it above the artist’s more run-of-the-mill fare.

Signed with the artist’s initials and dated ’99, it was a late work that seemed to encapsulate how the Chester-born illustrator-turned-watercolourist-turned-painter had been influenced by the likes of David Cox, Myles Birket Foster and Peter De Wint and then incorporated a few distinct touches of his own.

Like many of Wimperis’ landscapes which have frequently appeared on the market, it was a work that was well known to the trade having previously appeared at both Phillips and Christie’s (the latter in 1994) and retained labels on the verso for two London dealers.

A more recent auction appearance was that Halls in in April 2014 where it sold for £2400. It reappeared on December 9 from a private local collection where, against a £1000-2000 estimate, it sold at £2100 to a UK online buyer.

Despite not being the freshest work – something so important in the Victorian picture market – the price was not only above average for the artist but it appears to be the highest auction sum for Wimperis since this picture last sold at Halls.

intense bidding battle emerged as a number of trade and private bidders from both the UK and Europe took part on the phone and online. The lot was eventually knocked down to a private UK collector at £26,000.

The price compares to the £35,000 for a full set of the six prints sold from the collection of artist RB Kitaj at Christie’s in February 2008. Of the handful of occasions when single copies from the set have emerged at auction in the last decade, the highest price was for an impression sold at Bonhams for £13,000 in June 2015. Further examples made £12,000 and £11,000 in the same sale.

ATG understands that the buyer at Hansons is keen to locate an example of the missing sixth print.

Jardine abundantWhile the etchings proved the undoubted stars, the artist most represented among the Furlong lots was George Jardine (1920-2003).

He was another painter who trained at the Royal College of Art, although he was there earlier between 1939-43, and met Furlong later in his native Liverpool when she began modelling for him. After her retirement from modelling, Jardine was one of the artists for whom Furlong helped organised a show at Liverpool Academy of Arts in 2012.

The Hansons consignment featured 26 works by the artist which included four portraits of Furlong. While a pen drawing depicting her in 1976 took £90 (est: £50-100), uppermost among them was a

painting of her in profile, probably from around the same date. The 10½ x 13½in (27 x 34cm) signed oil on board was pitched at £200-300 and was knocked down at £380.

The top price for Jardine overall in the collection came for The Palace of the Mermaids, a larger work that was more representative of his Surrealist output. While his earlier paintings were influenced by the landscape of the north-west and by arists such as Paul Nash and Edward Bawden, an exhibition of Surrealist art at Liverpool’s Walker Art Gallery in 1936 also had a dramatic effect.

This 23½in (60cm) square oil and mixed media on board was a colourful exposition of that fact and had some trademark features – including fantastical female figures.

Estimated at £2000-3000, it sold at £2100 to a London-based private buyer who bought a number of works by Jardine at the sale. Although the competition did not extend too far into the estimate, the price was the second highest for the artist at auction, only behind a larger Surrealist landscape that fetched £2300 at Bonhams in December 2018 (source: Artprice by Artmarket).

Derbyshire local heroOutside of the Furlong lots, four works by George Turner of Derby (1843-1910) were offered from a deceased estate for which Rathbone had done a probate report a few years ago. All sold for a combined £10,600 with a Derbyshire private collector purchasing three of them.

Uppermost among the group was a landscape showing a father and son fishing in a brook near the Derbyshire village of Kirk Ireton. A charming scene set nearby to where Turner moved following his wife Eliza’s death in 1900, the 15¾ x 23½in (40 x 60cm) signed oil on canvas tipped over its £2000-3000 estimate, selling at £3200.

Whether or not Turner truly merits the title of ‘Derbyshire’s Constable’ as mentioned in the pre-sale publicity, his most commercial works are those that best portray the rural idyll and this picture achieved the

highest price for the artist at auction in the last two years.

As something of a local favourite, Turner appears regularly at Hansons and, indeed, these lots were followed by another 43 on offer at the firm’s sale in Etwall on December 16. They were led by four works that sold for £3000 apiece – all of them bucolic scenes of either Derbyshire or north Wales. n

Auction Reports Books and works on paper

Middle East enthrals biddersNineteenth century travel accounts by European visitors are sold in London auction

Top lot in an online travel and natural history auction that ended on November 17 in London was a 20 volume set of the monumental Description de l’Egypte of 1809-22.

This was the official account of the great French scientific survey of the country that dealt with everything from antiquities to agriculture.

At Sotheby’s (26/20/13.9% buyer’s premium) it sold towards the low end of the estimate range at £170,000, while an 1842-29, six volume, subscriber’s copy of David Roberts’ Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia sold towards the higher end of its guide at £110,000. This was a set that was free of the spotting sometimes found in this deluxe issue.

A great many TE Lawrence lots were on offer, with letters much in evidence, but the most expensive was one of 170 copies of the 1926 edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom that he signed off as “Complete”. In the original brown morocco binding, it made a low-estimate £40,000.

Sold over estimate at £26,000, however, was an ivory silk kaffiyah, or head-dress. Lawrence famously wore Arab costume during the Arab Revolt, although he had first discovered how well suited it was to desert life while undertaking

by Ian McKay

archaeological work at Carchemish in Syria in the

years before the First World War.

Lawrence’s adoption of Arab

dress, said the saleroom, was practical but also crucial to his mission, which required that he gain the trust of the Arab people. Towards the end of the war he tended to wear more elaborate costume and by the time he returned to Europe after the war he had assembled a substantial collection,

Lawrence made a number of

gifts to friends and family, but this kaffiyah was brought back from the Middle East by Private Harry Hosker, his driver and batman.

Lawrence trusted Hosker to drive his car with a trunk full of gold sovereigns that he used to buy off Bedouin tribesmen, but not all these duties were carried out to his satisfaction, said the cataloguer. Lawrence apparently complained about Hosker’s culinary skills, especially his inability to cook porridge. In 1996, when last seen at Sotheby’s, this kaffiyah was part of a costume sale.

Above left: one of the finely preserved coloured plates from a copy of the deluxe issue of Roberts’ Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt & Nubia sold for £110,000 at Sotheby’s.

Above right: a plate from the copy of Alfred Russel Wallace’s Palm Trees of the Amazon... sold for a record £12,000.

Left: an Arabic head-dress once owned by TE Lawrence – £26,000.

Also illustrated here is a plate from a first edition of Alfred Russel Wallace’s Palm Trees of the Amazon and their uses.

Published in London in 1853 and illustrated with 48 litho plates by W Fitch, it was issued in an edition of just 250 copies and this rare survivor set an auction record at £12,000.

Wallace lost a great many of his natural history drawings and specimens when his ship sank on the return to voyage to Europe, but his notes and illustrations of Amazonian palm trees were among those things that were salvaged. n

Mounted in an autograph book that was compiled from 1937 onwards by Miss Joyce Cartmell, a sketch of Christopher Robin was a highlight of a November 18 sale in Yorkshire

Signed by EH Shepard and accompanied by a note on his headed notepaper reading “with ♥ and xx from Christopher Robin”, it made £3800 in a November 18 book sale held by Tennants (20% buyer’s premium) of Leyburn.

The sale’s most expensive lot, at £5400, was an 1848 first (second issue) copy of Anne Brontë’s Tennant of Wildfell Hall, the three volumes bound in half calf gilt.

Well-bound individual works and literary sets were a notable feature of the sale overall.

Ephemeral material included a collection of around 30 catalogues, brochures, price lists, etc, that made £2100 rather than the suggested £60-80. Like the example illustrated here, they were mostly issued by Fortnum & Mason, but Crosse & Blackwell, Harvey Nichols, and Bellerby of York, wallpaper manufacturers, were also featured, along with playing card designs by Macmichaels.

Bid to £1400 was a collection of some 47 photographs focused on the ‘Great Week of Aviation at Heliopolis’ in Egypt in 1910, an event that – with the exception of a few flights in North Africa made by French pilots in late 1909 – marked the first flights in the Arab world.

There were, inevitably, a few copies of Charles Dickens’ much-loved tale, A Christmas Carol, on offer at auction as the big day approached. Among them was an example of the very earliest issue offered as part of a November 12 sale held by Freeman’s (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) in Philadelphia.

In the original gilt and blind stamped brown cloth binding with two small stains on front board (right), this 1843 copy showed some soiling to John Leech’s frontispiece illustration of ‘Mr Fezziwig’s Ball’ and to the title-page, along with scattered minor spotting to text and plates. It nevertheless sold at $16,000 (£14,545).

Another first-issue copy sold for £8500 in a November 18, Forum sale of books from the Rugby School Library.

Many copies of this perennial best-seller have made a great deal more and three have brought six-figure bids. In October 2010, at Sotheby’s in London, a copy that Dickens inscribed for his great friend, the actor and stage manager William Macready, made a record £150,000.

Very earliest Christmas Carol

Two of the best-selling literary lots in a New York sale of November 17 were copies of Jane Austen novels.

Bid to $60,000 (£45,455) at Swann Galleries (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) was a three-decker, 1813 first of Pride and Prejudice in a 19th century binding of full polished turquoise morocco by Rivière. Missing half titles were supplied in Vol I with an example from a second edition, and in the other two volumes with facsimiles.

Sold at $46,000 (£34,850) was a copy of Austen’s first published work, Sense and Sensibility. This was a novel written in the once popular letter form in 1795 but only much later revised for anonymous publication in 1811 – in an edition of no more than a thousand copies. This example was in a later but period style binding of half tan calf and marble boards.

American note-takerSold for $28,000 (£21,210) was a first of Charles Dickens’ American

Notes for General Circulation. In the original ribbed brown cloth binding, this was a copy with a very desirable literary association, being inscribed “For Richard Dana/From his friend/Charles Dickens/Nineteenth October, 1842” on the half-title of the first volume. It was additionally signed by Dana on the front pastedowns.

Shortly after Dickens arrived in Boston in late January 1842, on his first visit to the US, a dinner was held in his honour at Papanti’s Dancing Academy.

There Dana, a lawyer, politician and author of a famous maritime memoir, Two Years before the Mast, that had been published anonymously a couple of years earlier, was one of the prominent guests, along with Oliver Wendell Holmes and others.

Four other copies inscribed by Dickens on or about the same date have been sold at auction, including one inscribed to another attendee at that Boston dinner, Josiah Quincy.

Dealers’ Diary

Forsberg finds peace in the worldSwedish painter’s stylised alpine view is one of the highlights of Master Drawings New York

“It was the first time I found myself in front of a glacier, alone in the infinite silence and solitude of the snow mountain, surrounded by the overwhelming majesty of nature…”

Swedish open-air painter Carl Johan Forsberg (1867-1938) wrote this after painting the highly stylised alpine view, shown above, of the Rhône Glacier in the Swiss Alps. Titled Pax, it was regarded by Forsberg as the ‘capo lavoro’ of his life, inspired by an on-the-spot sketch made in 1903.

The place heightened his sense of life’s fragility, as it was here where the artist and his wife almost lost their lives when their horse-drawn carriage nearly plunged into the raging Rhône river during a thunderstorm. Barely noticeable, seated on a small island at the left, is the tiny figure of Death with his scythe.

Priced at £50,000, the watercolour gouache features in an exhibition of 19th and 20th century landscapes by London gallery Stephen Ongpin Fine Art, which forms part of the latest edition of Master Drawings New York (MDNY), the veteran dealer event held annually in the Upper East side of Manhattan.

“At a time when many of us have been asked to remain indoors, we have chosen to present a catalogue and exhibition dedicated exclusively to landscapes, in lieu of our usual Master Drawings presentation, with the hope that it will offer respite and

by Gabriel Berner other dealer exhibitions planned for the latest edition. London dealership Karen Taylor Fine Art holds a show of 18th and 19th century works on paper that examines ‘the world of the imagination of British artists influenced by the picturesque movement and the progression into the romanticism of the 19th century’.

Included in Romantic Landscape and the Picturesque Imagination, priced at $25,000, is a black chalk drawing of a wooded landscape by Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88), dated to the mid-1780s.

As with Forsberg, Gainsborough’s first love was landscape painting, famously writing in a letter to a friend: “I’m sick of portraits and wish very much to take my viol da gamba and walk off to some sweet village where I can paint landskips and enjoy the fag end of life in quietness and ease.”

Pages from a sketchbook by Jan van Goyen (1596-1656), one of

the main pioneers of naturalistic landscape in early 17th century Holland, is the focus of an exhibition at New York gallery Mireille Mosler.

The artist travelled the length and breadth of the Netherlands recording ‘when inspiration struck’ landscapes and topography in small notebooks. Back in his studio, he used his travel sketches to create imaginary landscapes in paint and pen.

The show contains around 30 drawings in black chalk and grey wash from the now dispersed sketchbook, which Van Goyen filled in 1650-51 when he was in his mid-50s. The gallery said the relatively late works present a “different view on the artist’s studio practice towards the end of his prolific career when relatively fewer paintings were produced”.

A diminutive and delicate black chalk sketch of a town with windmills is priced at $20,000. n

a reminder of what lies beyond our walls,” said Ongpin.

Aptly named A Sense of Place, it takes place at New York gallery Adam Williams Fine Art and includes 70 landscape drawings, watercolours and oil sketches dating from c.1820-1960 spanning movements from the Barbizon School to Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and beyond.

Big Apple actionA total of 18 dealers will host online exhibitions as part of MDNY, which goes live to the public on January 22, timed as usual to coincide with the major January/February auctions of Old Master paintings and drawings in the Big Apple. Though primarily digital this year, MDNY hopes to retain a remnant of its physical event with a select number of dealers in New York ‘open by appointment’ throughout the week (around 10 as ATG went to press).

French artist Roger Broders (1883-1953) designed this classic ski poster promoting one of the oldest ski resorts in France, Chamonix. It dates to the opening of the Chamonix to Planpraz 2000m cable-car in 1928 and shows people enjoying the scenic view from one of its gondola cabins.

Broders worked for the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée PLM railway company, where he designed posters for many of the fashionable French summer and winter resorts. For a decade from 1922 he dedicated himself fully to poster art, though he produced fewer than 100. His distinctive Art Deco designs, characterised by simple lines and bold, flat areas of colour and dramatic mountain and seascape backdrops, remain popular with vintage poster collectors.

This 3ft 6in x 2ft 6in (1.08m x 76cm) example is offered by vintage poster specialist Antikbar, based in Chelsea, and is priced at £4250.

1 How did you get your start? I studied art history and heritage management at the University of Buckingham. With a passion for the decorative arts, I sent every dealer in the London antiques trade letters saying I’d like to work for free and started first with Jonathan Horne in Kensington Church Street and then Mallett at Bourdon House. Fourteen years later I struck out on my own, specialising in 18th and 19th century furniture, works of art, arms and armour and oceanic art. I’m drawn to the history, the way the objects were commissioned, made and the places they were made for.

2 What’s one great discovery you’ve made? While I was still at Mallett I found a table at a second-hand shop and bought it for £50. We got it into Christie’s and sold it for £5000 – a great calamander table, and someone else obviously thought so too. It was a pivotal decision-making

moment for me, which showed me I was ready to go off on my own.

3 Who do you admire in the trade?The young dealers today are so inspirational – there are a few I’d pick out such as Mark Pargeter, Matthew Holder and Adam Calvert Bentley – they are very nimble and run circles around the established trade. There are also great interior designers out there that I admire greatly such as Nicholas Haslam and Colefax & Fowler.

4 One object you couldn’t do without?My cameras - a Canon DSLR and Hasselblad medium format. Trading online demands excellent photos. I personally oversee all the photography; it is crucial to the business. Everything has to be honestly represented and shown at its absolute best.

5 Do you collect anything personally?I collect Indian and Ceylonese boxes. I’ve done it forever. They’re wonderful objects, especially the porcupine quill boxes, and have such a story behind them. They were bought by travellers on the trade route between Europe and China and I like how the designs reflect the influence of both cultures.

New York’s Americana-focused event and longest-running antiques fair, The Winter Show, holds its 67th edition online from January 22-31 with around 60 exhibitors taking part.

Chinese export porcelain specialist Cohen & Cohen is part of a contingent of UK dealers showing and present this newly discovered large Chinese armorial charger, made for the Scottish market during the early reign of the Emperor Qianlong in c.1740.

Priced at $85,000, it is the sixth example belonging to a well-known group of chargers

painted en grisaille in different designs copying European prints and is the only

one known left in private ownership.Hand painted by a Chinese artist

in Canton, it depicts the 1737 print La Fontaine de Bacchus engraved by Jean Moyreau after an oil painting by Dutch artist Philips Wouwerman (1619-68).

thewintershow.org

This recently discovered grisaille painting of Adam and Eve by the Florentine Mannerist artist Jacopo Carucci (1494-1557), known as Pontormo, is the centrepiece of a new exhibition of monochromatic works at New York gallery Nicholas Hall.

A prime example of the artist’s private work, the small painting is noted for its unusual grisaille technique (rarely used in Pontormo’s oeuvre) and the subject, which shows Adam and Eve at work after the fall of man with the first children, Cain and Abel, at their feet. Burlington Magazine described it last year as a “major discovery for the art of the Florentine Renaissance” and it has already found a buyer for an undisclosed sum ahead of the show’s opening on January 25.

Titled Grey Matters, the exhibition is drawn from American museums and private collections and examines the concept of ‘paragone’ through Pontormo’s grisaille

technique. Paragone was popularised by Leonardo da Vinci and sparked vigorous debates in Renaissance Italy concerning the superiority of painting or sculpture.

A range of artworks produced between late-15th century and early 16th century is for sale with prices starting in five figures.

Sotheby’s opens shop in Bond Street saleroom

antiques trade


Moorcroft bidders make 1912 overtures

Sotheby’s has opened a new shop in its Bond Street galleries retailing art, design and luxury items.

It includes items sold by the firm as well as exhibition space for dealers and artists to sell to the public, with dealer Adrian Sassoon the first occupier (see Dealers’ Diary page 32).

Sotheby’s said the new space is “dedicated to showcasing the finest assortment of art, design and luxury items, all available for direct purchase”.

For the past few years it ran the Mayfair gallery space S2 for art exhibitions. This closed in July.

Move to retailAll the large auction houses have placed an increased emphasis on fixed price sales across the past decade (private sales at Sotheby’s reached $1bn in both 2018 and 2019). The relative speed and privacy of this type of transaction can appeal to some clients, while the auctioneers argue retail selling is better suited to some types of object.

Sotheby’s and Christie’s both sell jewellery online as retailers and last month Phillips opened Flawless, an online shop offering “exceptional jewels for immediate purchase”.

The unusual circumstances of 2020 have encouraged further initiatives. During the summer, Long Island, New York, was a popular location for auction houses to trial physical shops. Phillips and Sotheby’s both opened stores in the Hamptons while Christie’s opened a temporary gallery at the Parrish Art Museum.

In the first four months of 2020, before the full impact of Covid-19, Sotheby’s reported private sales transactions were up 18% year on year. Christie’s said in June that since March private sales had grown by 113% compared to the same period the previous year.

Two pieces of Moorcroft Pomegranate pattern made exceptional sums within a matter of 24 hours at the end of September. Both were early versions of the popular pattern and dated 1912 – the year William Moorcroft left his studio at James Macintyre to run his own factory in Cobridge.

The three-piece teaset offered by Dawsons in Maidenhead on September 23 was the highlight of a collection of prime period and later Moorcroft pottery assembled in the last two decades by the late Valerie Cook of Hampstead.

Her teaset, in near-perfect condition, combined the talents of the Moorcroft tubeliners Continued on page 4

and silversmiths from the San Francisco jeweller Shreve & Co. It was made specifically for export, as shown by the green painted mark to the base reading W Moorcroft, Shreve & Co, San Francisco, 1912.

Estimated at £3000-5000, it attracted online bids up to £10,000 before two phones battled it out. The winning bid of £15,400 (plus 23% buyer’s premium) was tendered by a UK-based private collector.

Awarded a gold medal at the St Louis International Exhibition, Moorcroft pottery was sold by Shreve & Co from 1904, with Tiffany and other famous

Unesco ad campaign on looted art has ‘intention to mislead’

De Morgan charger swoops to £27,000

BADA hires first female chairman

A Unesco campaign aimed at increasing public awareness of looted art is threatening to backfire after it emerged the ‘stories’ told in its adverts were fabricated.

Three of the objects chosen for the October campaign were long-time exhibits from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and had been misrepresented. Other pieces came from stock image sites and had not been stolen.

CINOA, the international federation of art and antiques dealers associations, filed a formal complaint with Unesco on November 15. It described the campaign as “fraudulent, with the desired intention to mislead the public on the provenance of works of art and to damage the credible reputation

“We almost never see De Morgan pieces over here,” said James Bridges, director of Martel Maides on Guernsey. At least, not until he was asked to clear a near-derelict house on the island and found a collection of six lustre dishes by the Victorian art potter lining a staircase.

On November 25, a determined bidder from

The British Antique Dealers’ Association (BADA) has appointed Louise Phillips as its new chairman, taking over from Michael Cohen.

Cohen steps down after seven years in the role and the changes were announced at BADA’s AGM on December 1.

Phillips is a second-generation antiques dealer: Elaine Phillips Antiques was established by her mother in the 1960s and specialises in 17th and 18th century oak furniture and decorative items. Louise joined the firm in 1985 after a career in PR and marketing in the fashion industry.

Turkey, attracted by these British interpretations of the Iznik style, bought five pieces. They included a 14in (36cm) diameter ruby and gold lustre charger in the ‘Frightened Bird’ pattern (detail shown) at £27,000 (plus 17.5% buyer’s premium).

new startNew year,

Lockdown restrictions mean the normal January and February international focus on US auctions and dealer events will be rather different in 2021, but plenty of opportunities are still on offer to buy art and antiques, as Anne Crane reports

In the international art and antiques calendar, January and early February traditionally mean the US.

Dealers, collectors and curators head to New York in search of the best in Old Masters, Chinese Export porcelain and British ceramics. In Florida the focus is very much on silver and jewellery.

The winter months of 2021 will be different. There will be no large gatherings in New York or Florida. A few dealers and galleries will be open by appointment but most shows will be accessible only from a computer.

Sixty dealers will take part in the online Winter Show (Jan 22-31), no Ceramics Fair takes place this year, while Master Drawings New York (January 22-30) will be a hybrid event instead, with much of the attention on digital viewings (see Dealers’ Diary p26-27).

In Florida the traditional trip south for the Original Miami Beach Antique Show and its ancillary events has been postponed until the spring (provisionally March 12-16 at the Miami Beach Convention Center), although Palm Beach Show Group is still hoping to go ahead with the 18th Annual Palm Beach Show on February 11-16.

Auction emphasisInstead, the emphasis will be on the auctions that go ahead much as planned, albeit as either online only or live online sales.

While much of the traditional New York arts scene will be modified for the start of this year, the late January focus on auctions of Old Master paintings and drawings continues in the city’s major salerooms as a mix of online only and live auctions.

Sotheby’s Masters Week series hosts no fewer than seven live and online only auctions of paintings, drawings and sculpture from January 22-30 including two single-owner offerings (Drawings from the collection of Dr John O’Brien and the Collection of Hester Diamond).

Christie’s will hold its usual sale of Old Master and 19th century drawings but running online from January 14-28. Doyle too will offer Old Masters and 19th century paintings and drawings as part of its sale on January 21.

Pictured here is a selection of works from upcoming sales with an emphasis on those with a European flavour. n

“Sotheby’s Masters Week series hosts no fewer than seven live and online-only auctions

Van der Goes alongside Botticelli and Rembrandt

The flagship event of Sotheby’s Masters Week sale series is the January 28 Master Paintings and Sculpture auction. Its highlight entries are Botticelli’s Portrait of a young man holding a roundel (estimate in excess of $80m) and Rembrandt’s Abraham and the Angels guided at $20m-30m.

But plenty of other works are on offer by major names in the Old Masters field. They include Sir Anthony van Dyck, Guido Reni, Ambrosius Bosschaert and the Northern Renaissance artist Hugo van der Goes (c.1440-82) who is represented by this Descent from the Cross.

The 21 x 15in (53 x 38cm) work, in distemper on fine canvas, was painted by der Goes c.1480 and was originally the left side of a small diptych, the right-hand part of which is in the Gemӓldegalerie in Berlin. Formerly in the Landry collection, from where it was acquired by a New York private collection in 1951, it carries an estimate of $3m-5m.

Major early van Dyck

Diamond collection includes BerniniThe collection of Hester Diamond, a New York art dealer, interior designer and art collector, is one of the designated single-owner offerings in Sotheby’s Masters Week series.

This ensemble, spanning Old Master paintings and sculpture through to Contemporary works of art, will be offered on January 29 with a further online only sale on January 22-29.

The collection’s highlight is an impressive Baroque marble statue of a bearded man representing Autumn executed c.1615-18 by the young Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) and his father Pietro (1562-1629).

Made for Prince Leone Strozzi, one of the Berninis’ first patrons in Rome, it passed down through the Strozzi family until sometime in the 19th century. Diamond acquired the work in 1991 from Anthony Roth in London.

One of the few sculptures by Bernini and his father still in private hands, the 4ft 1in (1.25m) high marble has an estimate of $8m-12m.

sothebys.com

Two auctions devoted to drawings and works on paper, one single-owner, one mixed-owner, also form part of Sotheby’s Master Week sales, both staged on January 27.

A highlight of the mixed-owner event in the morning will be a rare early drawing by the young Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) that is a preparatory study for The Healing of the Paralytic, a major early composition in the artist’s oeuvre from c.1617-20.

The 14½ x 9in (37 x 23cm) drawing (far left) features an old bearded man holding a bundle, executed in black, white and red chalk, while the verso shows various composition studies in pen and ink. Consigned from a North American private collection, the drawing has an estimate of $2.5m-3.5m.

Single-owner selectionThe single-owner event that follows comprises the collection of Dr John O’Brien, who has spent the last 55 years assembling a collection of Italian Old Master drawings.

Among the highlights of the 133-lot ensemble is this study (left) by Corrado Giaquinto (1703-66) for his work The Translation of the Relics of Saints Acutius and Eutychetes from Pozzuoli to Naples which was commissioned by the Cardinal Archbishop of Naples Giuseppe Spinelli and executed for the left-hand tribune wall in the Duomo of Naples, c.1744-45.

The 17½ x 11¼in (44 x 29cm) work in pen, ink and grey wash heightened with white on paper has an estimate of $40,000-60,000.

Christie’s Old Master and British drawings sale will take place as an online auction from January 14-28.

The 95 lots will include drawings from a number of designated consignors including the Cornelia Bessie Estate. Among them is this 9½x 7½in (24 x 19cm) red chalk drawing of a young woman sleeping on a chair by Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806).

Described by the auction house as “quintessential Fragonard”, the drawing belongs to a group of studies of young women executed as independent works, depicted standing or seated, sometimes surrounded by vegetation or in an interior.

The drawing was given to Bessie by her mother Kate Schaeffer in 1982 as a Christmas gift. It has an estimate of $300,000-500,000.

Doyle is offering a selection of Old Master and 19th century paintings as the opening 78 lots of its January 21 sale of English and Continental Furniture, Silver and Decorative Arts and Old Masters.

Included will be this portrait of Rear Admiral John Sprat Rainier (1777-1825) in naval uniform by the British artist John Hoppner (1758-1810). The sitter was a nephew of Admiral Peter Rainier, commander of the Royal Navy in the Dutch East Indies.

He served as a lieutenant on his uncle’s flagship and ended up being promoted to rear admiral in 1819.

Hoppner’s 2ft 6in x 2ft 1in (76 x 63cm) oil on canvas has been consigned from the estate of A Edward Allinson of Palm Beach and has an estimate of $8000-15,000.

This large 19th century portrait of Marie Antoinette and her children from the studio of the French artist Elisabeth Louise Vigée le Brun (1755-1842) is one of the highlights of Skinner’s Fine Paintings and Sculpture sale in Marlborough, Massachusetts, on January 22.

The large, 9ft x 7ft 2in (2.75 x 2.2m) oil on canvas is contained in a period frame topped with a central crest and royal coat of arms. The painting, which is unsigned and is identified and dated to 1837 on a presentation plaque, was commissioned in the early years of the 19th century from the studio of Vigée Le Brun by the Irigoyen Family, Spanish aristocrats and close associates of the French royals.

The painting recreates on the same large scale one of Vigée Le Brun’s most renowned works which is held in the collection at Versailles. Vigée le Le Brun’s Versailles painting of 1787 was the largest she ever created and took two years to complete.

The estimate is $80,000-120,000. skinnerinc.com

Letters & Obituaries Write to editor-at-large Noelle McElhatton at:[email protected]

“For those of us who have been involved in the art world for most of our careers it is a seismic change to the old order

Obituaries

David March (1936-2020)David was a well-known dealer in the antique ceramic world. He exhibited at the second ever Antiques for Everyone at the Birmingham NEC and every one after until his retirement. He became a vetter and remained so until his last fair.

David took early retirement from being factory manager of the WD & HO Wills cigar factory to follow his great interest and study.

The Wakefield ceramic fairs took him all over the country and thus he made many friends and contacts.

One trip took us from Newton Abbot then Oxford, Derby and Edinburgh, all with two large dogs in the caravan and in constant pouring rain.

David’s love of his subject and genial personality gained him numerous friends, which was the most important part of his life. He loved the subject, but the personal connections meant everything to him.

There will be a service of thanksgiving in the spring/summer and anyone interested can contact my daughter Lucy by email [email protected].

From Sally March

MADAM – Thank you to ATG for keeping us up to date with all the goings on in the antique, art and book world in 2020 while this dreadful virus has curtailed all our visits to antique fairs, book fairs etc.

We hope 2021 will see a coming to an end of this awful situation and we can all look forward to getting out and about to all the wonderful fairs that we’re so used to visiting in normal times.

Mr R Duckworth

MADAM – I wonder if any of your readers can identify the mezzotint attached. Someone cut the title off. It is on laid paper, image size 9½ x 14in (24 x 35.5cm). I am guessing it is a c.1780 brothel scene.

RJ Horlock

Who depicted this ‘brothel’?

MADAM – With regard to the mention of Gloria Cardew in the Lyon & Turnbull sale (Books and Works on Paper, ATG No 2474), readers may be interested to know there was an illustrated article on her in the Imaginative Book Illustration Society’s Journal 5 (2014) which is still available from the society at bookillustration.org

Martin Steenson

MADAM – I was most dismayed to read that Christie’s is withdrawing the archival service that has been available for so many decades (News Digest, ATG No 2474).

The announcement may only occupy a couple of column inches in your publication but for those of us who have been involved in the art world for most of our careers it is a seismic change to the old order.

Christie’s archive withdrawal is a ‘seismic change’

Over the years l have enjoyed many exchanges with the amiable and efficient custodians of the Christie’s archive – in some instances resulting in mutually advantageous outcomes.

It would be interesting to know the reasoning behind this decision.

When I first engaged with the auction scene some five decades ago the standard rate of vendor commission was 10% with no charges to the buyer.

We now have a regime whereby, via a number of charges to both seller and purchaser, the auction companies can end up with at least 50% of the hammer price.

I could wax apoplectic regarding the insurance premiums extracted on the hammer price of underestimated lots, but for now l will restrict my angst to the withdrawal of a client service which will be to the disadvantage of the vendor.

Mike Sanderson

One day we’ll be back to the fairs

Angela ShortAngela Short (previously Linstead), the well-known Tunbridge Wells dealer, passed away peacefully on December 5 aged 89.

Angela lived most of her life in Tunbridge Wells and, like many dealers, cut her teeth running a Saturday stall on the Portobello Road while working for the decorator Merlin Pennink. Over 45 years ago she set up her first shop, A&A Antiques on Mt Sion, at a time when antiques were very much a male-dominated business. She later moved to Mt Ephraim where she traded as Cowden Antiques until her retirement at the millennium.

She loved everything about the trade and was often to be seen at all the local house sales, buying, gossiping and laughing. Her energy, sense of humour, eye for the unusual and decorating potential, gained her the respect of dealers and customers alike, all of whom will remember her with affection.

There are few houses in the Tunbridge Wells area that do not contain at least one or two pieces sourced from Angela.
