Apprenticed in London he returned to Dundee to set up what turned out to be a successful if not a large business. His output covered all types of clocks from pocket watches to the clock in St Andrews Parish Church in Dundee - still going to this day. His output was not prolific as he didn’t employ a lot of staff and he was very much hands on in the workshop as well as at the front counter. He did produce a few watches and clocks whilst I London and signed pieces with London are well sought after. As well as a clock and watch maker he was a particularly competent engraver and this is shown by the individuality of decoration of his timepieces. The parts often made by hand in Dundee rather than ‘bought in’ There are various references to his work in many of the standard works on horology

41 A SCALE MODEL OF PS WAVERLEY MODEL BUILT CIRCA 1970 painted wood and ply, raised on a stand 99cm long, 33cm high

£200-300

Notes: Built in 1946, by shipbuilders A. & J. Inglis of Glasgow, PS Waverley was launched in October 1946. She entered service with the London and North Eastern Railway in June 1947, working the LNER’s Firth of Clyde steamer route from Craigendoran Pier, near Helensburgh, up Loch Long to Arrochar. In her first year in service she wore that company’s red, white and black funnel colours. After a revival of fortunes in the 1950s, the 1960s saw a gradual change in holiday habits that led to a decline in passenger numbers and the closure of many of the small piers. Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) withdrew Waverley after the 1973 season as she was too costly to operate and needed significant expenditure. By then the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS) had been set up and had bought the near-derelict small River Dart paddler PS Kingswear Castle. CalMac, keen to ensure that the ship was preserved, sold Waverley

to the PSPS for the token sum of one pound. Neither side really believed that the vessel would return to steam but, just in case, Caledonian MacBrayne stipulated that she should not sail in competition with their remaining cruise vessel, TS Queen Mary. A public appeal was launched to secure funding for the return of the Waverley to service and the fund-raising operation was successful. The PSPS found itself running a cruise ship operation, “Waverley Excursions”. Since then Waverley has been joined in the PSPS fleet by PS Kingswear Castle and MV Balmoral and has had a series of extensive refits and much restoration work, including a new boiler and improvements to meet modern safety standards. She has circumnavigated Great Britain and every year makes extensive sailings around the country.

42 A CAST IRON RAILWAY BENCH SIGN ’LUMPHANAN’, CIRCA of rounded rectangular form with bullnose moulding, cast in relief LUMPHANAN, later paintwork 91cm x 10.7cm

Notes: Lumphanan was a two platform station built in the 1850s on the second phase of the Deeside line. Closing in 1966 there is no longer any trace of this station.

£400-600

43 A CAST IRON RAILWAY BENCH SIGN ’BALLATER’, CIRCA of rounded rectangular form with bullnose moulding, cast in relief BALLATER, later paintwork 71cm x 10.7cm

£800-1,200 Notes: The Deeside Railway was a passenger and goods railway between Aberdeen and Ballater. A railway to serve Deeside was first suggested in 1845 and was authorised in July 1846, but it was decided to wait for the Aberdeen Railway to open first. Shareholders wanted their money back when the railway mania bubble burst, but it survived because the Aberdeen Railway bought a large number of shares. Interest was restored after Prince Albert purchased Balmoral Castle, to which the Royal Family made their first visit in 1848, and the Aberdeen Railway was able to sell their shares. Investors were still hard to find, but by limiting the railway to a line between Ferryhill, in Aberdeen, and Banchory the Deeside Railway was able to apply to Parliament for permission in 1852. Permission was granted, and the railway opened on 7 September 1853. A new company, the Aboyne Extension, was formed to reach Aboyne, completed in 1859 . As the line was extended up Deeside, closer to Balmoral, the terminus at Ballater became the royal station, welcoming Royal visitors once a year in the summer. The station was destroyed by fire in 2015 but has since been re-built.

44 A CAST IRON RAILWAY BENCH SIGN ’CORNHILL’, CIRCA of rounded rectangular form with bullnose moulding, cast in relief CORNHILL, later paintwork 70.5cm x 10.7cm Notes: Cornhill railway station was an intermediate station on the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR) line from Cairnie Junction to Tillynaught. Opened in 1859 by the Banff, Portsoy and Strathisla Railway, it was absorbed by the GNoSR in 1867 until grouping in 1923, passing into British Railways ownership in 1948. Passenger and freight services were withdrawn in May 1968 although most of the station buildings are still in existence.

This particular example draws on the Coalbrookdale style; featuring a brightly coloured ornamental pattern of blackberries and scrolled ferns, popular motifs of the Victorian era.

modern celebrations of Burn’s night. The toddy ladle in practice is smaller than a normal ladle but still features the long handle which allows it to reach the bottom of the punch bowl. Uniquely Scottish in design (as an aid for celebration) we see the spread of craftsmen originating from towns and centres of importance throughout the growing nation of late 18th century Scotland. The toddy ladle illustrates the social context of Scotland in the 18th/ 19th century. Much of the interest and fascination in collecting Scottish provincial silver is the array of marks struck to wares by silversmiths in the furthest reaches of Scotland. Coincidentally this variety is at its height at the period of the toddy ladle. The diversity of marks from Wick in the north to the Greenock and Castle Douglas on the West tell many stories of maker and location however of course many meanings are still unknown.

Notes: The working careers of John and his son Francis Brown is somewhat confused. Although recorded in Perth as early as 1724 they appear to have worked in Edinburgh and possibly Elgin as well. No marks have been confidently ascribed to either of these periods and all their work is tied to Perth.

The marks they used fall into three groups (all with the very recognisable IB and FB maker’s marks), with PERTH in full, a large Fleur de Lys, as seen on this spoon, what appears to be an armorial bearing. The use of the armorial punch has not been explained and the use is certainly their rarest. Its large size means that when encountered it is often poorly struck leaving details hard to ascertain.

23.5cm long, 79.3g Notes: John Sellar’s work is well recorded in Wick and is the most prolific of the two makers recorded there. However, less well known, is that Sellar also worked and marked silver in Elgin seen with ‘ELGIN’ and tree and bauble town marks, and in Tain. His work in Tain is without doubt his rarest and dates between 1821 – 1825. During this time two maker’s punches are attributed to him, JS with incurved sides and a matching town punch and the example under discussion. The punch seen to the following three lots is distinctively different to the one he uses in Wick as the proportion and spacing of the J and S is much wider and the punch slightly more crudely cut. The tablespoon is perhaps the most important example of this mark extant as it has obviously been made to match or extend a set of Alexander Stewart made Tain spoons. This and the direct family provenance from the Tain area give additional confirmation of the origin.

Notes: Considered one of the classic rarities of Scottish silver the survival of Wick made silver has always been considered rare. However unlike Tain silver, with whom it is often ranked amongst the rarest, Wick hollowware is extremely rare. Tain has in excess of twenty items of holloware by Hugh Ross I and II alone, while Wick only has four items by either of the recorded makers.

Of the recorded surviving Wick hollowware it would appear that only three of the items can be considered Wick made and one highly likely bought in and marked by Sellar. The known survival of Wick hollowware is limited to two mugs (one later decorated), a wine funnel (Inverness Art Gallery & Museum), and the wine funnel under discussion. Almost certainly made in Wick unlike the other surviving example, appears likely to have been bought in and later marked by John Sellar. The style is certainly Edinburgh or London with cast gadrooned border and shell clip, both features that would seem unlikely to have been made in a workshop the size of Sellar’s.

465 EDINBURGH PHRENOLOGICAL INTEREST - AN EARLY 19TH CENTURY AMERICAN SILVER TWO HANDLED PRESENTATION VASE JAMES THOMSON, NEW YORK CIRCA 1839 marked to the underside four times ‘Jas Thomson’, the rising bold leaf clasped handles to a baluster vase shaped body, decorated with leaf framed cartouches framing profiles of gentlemen related to The Phrenological Society, central cartouche engraved inscription to George Combe from students at lectures in New York 1839 and praising his knowledge, leaf clasped stem to a spreading foot with framed vignettes of various animals and birds, further engraved round the foot rim stating Thomson awarded a medal from the American Institute for the quality of workmanship in the vase, contained in the original fitted mahogany box, hinged lid, brass carry handles, together with the original hand written list of subscribers 41.5cm high including stand, 47oz Notes: George Combe born and named after his father in Edinburgh. After attending the High School of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh, Combe entered the legal profession in 1804, and in 1812 he began his own practice. The Combe family lived together at 25 Northumberland Street in the New Town until at least 1833. He founded the Edinburgh Phrenological Society in 1820 and was the author of the highly influential The Constitution of Man (1828). The Edinburgh Society was the first and foremost phrenological grouping in Great Britain; more than forty phrenological societies followed in other parts of the British Isles. The Society’s influence was greatest over the next two decades but declined in the 1840s; the final meeting was recorded in 1870. At the home of the Phrenology museum in Chamber’s Street in Edinburgh there are four heads at the top of the windows, those of Combe, and other leading members, Franz Joseph Gall and Johann Gaspar Spurzheim; these appear to be the same as the ones on the piece offered here for sale. James Thomson, silversmith: First recorded in New York in 1834 at 129 William Street NY and later in Brooklyn. He followed his father William in the trade and James’ brother, also a silversmith, took control in 1840 and then sold to Zalmon Bostwick around 1845. Thomson was very well respected in the New York trade and made several award-winning pieces including the lot offered here which was awarded a gold medal from the American Institute for Superior Workmanship. One other piece by Thomson which was also a medal winner was the McKeon vase designed by Sculptor Robert Ball Hughes in 1837. Strong similarities can be seen in the decorative work and also the engraving on this vase and the Combe vase.

The whole arms are enclosed within a circlet which has engraved the motto 'Fax mentis honesta gloria (Glory of the light of a noble mind) with badge of the Baron of Nova Scotia suspended and Barons coronet above.

£6,000-8,000

Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price, please see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 2

Notes: The armorials engraved to these plates are somewhat of a historic anomaly. There is no question they are original to the plates but seem to be engraved as almost a historic memorial. At the time of manufacture there was no extant baronetcy in this branch of the Hamilton family, and indeed they appear to most closely resemble the arms of John Hamilton of Broomhill in the County of Fife (born 1623 died 17th June 1679). He was an illegitimate son of James Hamilton, 1st Lord Hamilton who was latterly legitimised. Perhaps these plates were engraved by another family member with great pride in such a lineage and connection to such an important Scottish Family These plates are not the only example of this family creating such memorials to ancestors; a Meissen Porcelain service with the crest, motto and pendant badge of a Baron of Nova Scotia (as seen on these silver examples) is recorded. Its provenance although slightly unclear it is known to have been in the family of Lord Belhaven and Stenton around 1830. It has also been discussed these plates could have been re fashioned from an earlier set with a direct provenance to the earlier baronetcy. It should also be noted how rare the survival of Scottish plates is. Other than a few single examples, approximately seven sets are recorded between 1671 and 1840, including the important set by Henry Bethune of 1722.

The Elgin colliery referred to is The Elgin and Wellwood Colliery near Dunfermline in Fife. Records show it was started around 1825-27 and it may be John Henderson was the first manager. The Elgin family owned the mine until the mid 19th century. Owing to pressure with bank debt, the mine eventually closed in 1950 after a pithead fire and was deemed uneconomical to restart.

Notes: Although gold work and indeed rings would have been a mainstay of 18th and 19th century Edinburgh goldsmiths their survival is remarkably few. This is perhaps in part that only a small percentage were marked, making this example more unusual, and that many were recycled and as the gold within was too precious to be kept as a memento on the death of the original owner. Unusually the ring is in blue enamel rather than the traditional black so is not a memorial ring but more likely a love token.

bowl 35.5cm wide, overall height 45cm, 57.6oz Notes: Note: The fox masks and the grapes depict the story of the Fox and the Grapes, one of the fables by Aesop. Originally oral in tradition, the fables were passed down through generations and collated into the Perry Index. The fox and the grapes is number fifteen. The fable tells the story of a fox who cannot reach some delectable grapes, instead of walking away admitted defeat, the fox declares the grapes unappetising anyway and so the phrase 'sour grapes' was coined.

Arms: Argent three otters’ heads erased gules [differenced with a crescent] Crest: A camel’s head and neck erased proper Motto: Lux in tenebris [Light in darkness] Notes: Upon the balance of probability and without any evidence to the contrary, this pair of salvers was in the possession of a second son of the family of Fullerton, of Ballintoy Castle in the County of Antrim. The family are said to have settled in Ulster from Scotland sometime during the reign of King James I. The progenitor of the family at Ballintoy was a Fergus Fullarton. The surname of Fullerton or Fullarton is derived from the Barony of Fullarton near Irvine in the County of Ayrshire. So, saying it is thought that the Fullertons were anciently of either AngloSaxon or Norman origin who settled in Scotland at the beginning of the 12th Century. The first known member of the Ayrshire Fullartons from an evidential point of view was Alanus de Fowlertoun, who was born during the early 13th Century and who died around the year 1280.

Notes:

A RARE SET OF GEORGE III TEA CANISTERS AND SUGAR BOX IN ORIGINAL MAHOGANY CADDY

Produced at the end of the ‘Edinburgh’s Golden Age of the Goldsmiths art’ these caddies show the height of skills practiced by Scottish goldsmiths at the time and expertly portray the rare survival of rococo design in Scotland.

ALEXANDER GAIRDNER, EDINBURGH 1772 each marked to bases, comprising a set of two tea caddies and a sugar box, each of bombe form with bold rococo foliate scrolls to corners and beaded shells clasped to rim, the panels with scroll and foliate formed vacant cartouches with shell and gadrooned rim, each raised on four scroll supports, the slightly domed pull off covers with gadrooned rim and foliate formed panels. Contained in an original flame mahogany veneered caddy of rectangular form with incurved corners, ebonised stringing and brass lock escutcheon, raised on four foliate and paw supports and with hinged scroll handle, all in gilt bronze, the fitted interior with velvet lined apertures for each piece Caddies 12.7cm high, 7.3oz and 7.5oz, Sugar box; 12.5cm high, 9.4oz; Mahogany caddy; (excluding handle) 19.5cm high, 30cm wide Provenance: Sotheby’s 12th June 1969, lot 94 Bought by Baroccki, £85 Grandtully Antiques, Perthshire circa 1970’s Private Collection References: Compendium of Scottish Silver II, R & J Dietert, page 497

The survival of Scottish silver tea caddies pre 1800 is surprisingly rare. Of the references given the example under discussion being one of only two sets of three and the only set still in their original wooden outer caddy. While not all examples would have originally been housed in a wooden caddy any silver caddies without a lock, which covers most pre 1800 examples, would likely have been housed in a wooden caddy as the security of the expensive commodity was essential. It is often mooted that the fashion for rococo design passed Scotland by and that the simple plain lines of the earlier George II / III periods over shone the tastes in Scotland. While rococo is indeed rare and likely not as fashionable with the masses in Scotland items such as these tea caddies expertly show that when offered the opportunity the makers could supply clients who demanded the highest rococo tastes. Although rare some of the finest mid to late 18th century Scottish tea wares, including important examples for Leith race prizes, tea kettles, coffee urns and rare chocolate pots show these fashionable ideas were being created. Alexander Gairdner is a maker often overlooked by collectors due to such contemporaries as William Dempster, William & Patrick Cunningham and Patrick Robertson all of whom were supplying the Edinburgh public at the same time and received many important commissions. Gairdner is no less important just perhaps overlooked at a time of strong competition. He was one of Edinburgh’s longest serving goldsmiths working from 1754 (after his apprenticeship to William Aytoun) until his death in 1803, a career of some 49 years perhaps only bettered by the 51 years of James Mitchelson. During this period he took some 14 apprentices, including his son John in 1773. He acted as Deacon of the Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh for one term between 1772 - 1774, interestingly when these caddies were made. Gairdner also appears to have been one of a very small handful of Scottish goldsmiths who received Royal patronage, this is noted on the occasion of the marriage of the Prince of Wales to Princess Caroline of Brunswick (8th April 1795), The Caledonian Mercury noted that ‘Mr. Gairdner, Jeweller to his Royal Highness for Scotland, had a beautiful representation of the Prince’s feathers in small lamps on the front of his shop, which had a very fine effect, and attracted much notice’. He also uses a variant of his maker’s mark which features Prince of Wales feathers within the punch., This has so far only been recorded on a very fine Freedom box for the Burgh of Dumfries, given to Sir Henry Dundas.

A RARE GEORGE III ARGYLL

Sir John Noble of Ardkinglas collection

DANIEL KER, EDINBURGH 1765 the plain body with tapered upper section, domed hinged cover, simple gadrooned rim and cast acorn finial, the lower body section flared with V shaped spout, hinged cover and long slender S scroll spout to opposing side, with wicker bound S scroll handle 11.5cm high, 9.3oz The crest as engraved is upon the balance of probability that of the family of M’Lean. It may be blazoned as follows: Crest: A salmon naiant proper Although there is a dearth of information upon this family of M’Lean, several authorities state that this crest was borne by the family who were at one-time resident at Dundee in the County of Angus. Although it is not known whether the M’Leans, of Dundee were related to the M’Leans, of Duart, Coll, Mull or Ardgour and other branches of the family on Scotland’s western seaboard, the Dundee M’Leans certainly bear one or two similar charges in their arms.

Bonham’s Edinburgh, ‘Jewellery, Silver, European Ceramics & Glass’, 13th December 2012 lot 357 Notes: Scottish silver Argyll’s are remarkably rare with as few as two recorded. The only other recorded within The Compendium of Scottish Silver is dated 1776 by Patrick Robertson of Edinburgh and is in the collections of the National Museum of Scotland. There seems no simple explanation for this rarity as the use and need for such items would have been as standard in Scotland as it was in England and further afield. The Argyll takes its name from the story that it was ‘invented’ in the mid-18th century by the Duke of Argyll (it is assumed the 3rd Duke of Argyll due to the earliest known surviving example being London made in 1755). It was considered necessary as gravy was arriving cold to the dining room after its long journey from the kitchens on the lower levels of the house. The simple addition of a second wall of, well in the base filled with hot water or in some cases a capsule for a hot metal bar to be inserted meant that the heat emanating from the hot water / bar would keep the gravy warm.

They were also produced in ceramics and in 1774 it is noted Josiah Wedgewood was selling ‘Gravy Cups’ which were his very similar answer to the same problem. They were produced from around the 1750’s till 1800 and while never common graced many important dining rooms around Britain.

501 OF JACOBITE INTEREST - A FINE SET OF FOUR MID EIGHTEENTH CENTURY CANDLESTICKS LOTHIAN & ROBERTSON, EDINBURGH 1758 AND 1759 the cast candlesticks with shell clasped shaped square bases with incurved sides, with spooled and knopped stem and leaf clasped upper section and simple socket scone, with quatrefoil scones with leaf clasped corners, both base and sconces all engraved with matching crest and motto 20cm high, width of base 11.5cm combined weight 61.5oz Heraldry; With crest of a moors head with motto GANG FORWARD above, for STIRLING Provenance; By tradition Judge James Graham of Airth By descent to Mary Stirling nee Airth (second daughter of James Graham of Airth) who married John Stirling of Kippendavie By descent Private Collection Notes: These candlesticks have descended through two important Jacobite families connected with the ‘15 and the ‘45. Perhaps the most important member was Judge James Graham who is well recorded defending the Jacobite prisoners being not only a supporter but self-proclaimed defender of the Jacobites after the defeat in 1715.

James Graham worked on behalf of the Peers’ and other captives at their trials in 1716 trying to provide some defence for the prisoners and while his duty seemed destined to fail, with the full weight of Hanoverian monarchy and hierarchy against him, the case he fought was considered a victory. Although appealing for leniency, and not the death penalty, was obviously his goal the likelihood of winning such terms was minimal. Some consider the precedents he set in 1716 as the cornerstone for the treatment of prisoners after the ‘45, in particular the ‘Four Peers’, nobleman of the nation, were only hung rather than their original sentence to be hung, drawn and quartered. The important collection of Jacobite items and relics held by the Stirling family compares to that held by the Thriepland’s of Fingask and it seems their place within the Jacobites was not only important at the time but in protecting the legacy of the Cause. These relics were sold in these rooms within the ‘Jacobite, Stuart & Scottish Applied Arts’ auction 13th of May 2015, perhaps the most iconic of which was a Four Peers Ring, lot 20.

This original set of four Scottish candlesticks is a very rare survival with only a small number of similar sets recorded. Although by the hallmarking over two years it may at first appear they are two pairs, rather than a set of four, this is erroneous. It seems certain that they were sent to be hallmarked within a few days of each other which just happened to extend over the change in the hallmarking year in September 1759. They are obviously of the same hand and time and the engraved crest to each is certainly been done originally by the same person. Sending items in when they were ready rather than in one parcel is seen regularly however it is only on these rare occasions when it crosses ‘two years’ that it is noticeable. This set is made even more interesting by the fact that not only is it over the two hallmarking ‘years’ of 1759 but over the two distinct styles of hallmarking with and without the ‘Assay Master’ and ‘Thistle’ marks applied.

most important collections of Scottish silver.

AN IMPRESSIVE GEORGE II PORRINGER WITH COVER

That of Gavin 1st Marquess and 7th Earl of Breadalbane. His collection, while now dispersed, is perhaps the best known of the period, not by its contents alone, nor auction catalogue as testament, but by the virtually unique applied collector’s mark he used on pieces within the collection.

KER & DEMPSTER, EDINBURGH 1755 of traditional form, two loop handles, demifluted body, with similarly decorated lid and finial of knopped form, later Breadalbane marked to base and cover 22cm high with lid, 36.28oz The rarity of such a piece is due to a combination of two defining aspects; that of craftsmanship and that of provenance. The word Porringer is derived from the French ‘potager’, a vessel for stew, and porringers were common throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, but one of this scale of Scottish manufacture is rare if not unique. The presence of the cover also enables us to view this item in its entirety to imagine the way it was utilised in the mid 18th century. While many porringers would originally have had covers, most are now lost or perhaps were not supplied with them in the first instance. The craftsmen Ker & Dempster are synonymous with Edinburgh silversmith’s finest wares. After an apprenticeship with James Ker 1739-1742 William Dempster, married Ker’s daughter and set up Ker & Dempster which lasted until William Dempster’s death. James Ker himself had many connections with landed families in the borders of Scotland with his Mother related to the Earls of Haddington. A member of parliament for Edinburgh 1747-54.

Breadlabane was among the earliest scholars of Scottish silver and helped in the discovery and attribution of many makers and town marks. Many of these marks and his attributions (some now considered erroneous) formed the main reference for the Scottish sections in Sir Charles Jacksons’ first (and later) editions of English Goldsmiths and Their Marks in 1905. Gavin Campbell was born in 1851 and succeeded his father John, 6th Earl in 1871. The succession of his father in 1867 had not been a simple one as he was not descended from the main Breadalbane line and was a cadet branch, the Campbells of Glenfalloch. When considering the importance the family had in Scotland and the lands they held, in excess of 450,000 acres from Perthshire to the Atlantic Ocean, this five-year dispute set legal history. Educated at St Andrews he succeeded his father as 7th Earl of Breadalbane, Earl of Holland; Viscount of Tay and Paintland; Lord Glenorchy, Benederaloch, Ormelie and Weik; and Baronet of Nova Scotia. He was created

The unmistakeable ‘Breadalbane’ in script struck incuse confirms without doubt that this originates from one of the earliest and arguably

Baron Breadalbane in 1873; and Earl of Ormelie and 1st Marquis of Breadalbane in 1885. He married in 1872, Lady Alma Imogen Carlotta Leonore Graham, the youngest daughter of the 4th Duke of Montrose. A favourite of Victorian society he held many important roles within the country, notably Lord-inWaiting to the Queen, Treasurer to the Royal Household 1880 - 1885, Privy Councillor 1880, Lord Steward of the Household 1892 - 1895, Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland 1883 - 1885, A.D.C. to King Edward VII, Keeper of the Privy Seal of Scotland, 1907, Brigadier-General of the Royal Company of Archers - the Royal Body Guard for Scotland, Colonel of the Highland Cyclists Battalion; Colonel of the 5th Volunteer Battalion Royal Highlanders, Chairman of the St. Andrew’s Ambulance Association, Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Argyllshire, from 1914 and Member of the Fisheries Board. In 1893 he was created a Knight of the Garter and was also a Knight of Justice of the Order of St. John and a Knight of the Swedish Order of the Seraphim. His collection was dispersed after his death in various auctions, nay of the most important items now reside in institutional collections. This would appear to be the largest piece which is still in private hands and available to collectors. Provenance: ’Catalogue of the major portion of the choice collection of antique silver, formed by the late Most Hon.

WILLIAM AYTOUN, EDINBURGH 1748 Assay master Hugh Gordon, Edinburgh 1748, of shaped circular outline, scroll and shell border, the flat with engraved border, foliate, shell and scrolls, raised on three hoof feet, initialled H to underside of base and with engraved scratch weights (2)

RICHARD RAE Edinburgh 1706, of rounded end form with central lobe, the reverse of terminal with engraved initials TF / MMF /W (likely later), with slender rat tail to bowl

diameter 25cm, 29oz

The previously unrecorded makers mark is undoubtedly for Richard Rae of Edinburgh, a maker known through original documents but until now not seen in extant work. Rae was born in 1677 and started his apprenticeship with Andrew Gilmour in 1691. Upon the death of his Master Rae transferred his apprenticeship to Edward Cleghorne where he completed his indenture and was admitted to the Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh in 1703.

36cm long, 6.2oz Heraldry: with contemporary crest to reverse of terminal for the Whiteford family of Blairquhan and Ballochmyle. With additional later armorial to reverse of bowl for Lockhart. Notes: Originally made for Sir John Whiteford of Blairquhan, this spoon was likely inherited by his son and heir Sir John Whiteford of Ballochmyle. The younger Sir John was perhaps most famous as one of Robert Burns’ earliest patrons. Sir John Jnr and Robert Burns met when the latter was tenant at Mossgiel Farm near Ballochmyle. They served together as, the Master and the Depute Master of the St. James Masonic Lodge, where their friendship blossomed. Whiteford later helped Burns with introductions in Edinburgh after the poet moved to the city. Although without conclusive proof, a case has been put forward that this close connection of Whiteford and Burns may suggest this spoon was used to serve Burns at one of the many meetings between him and his patron.

511 THE HOPETOUN SALTS - A SET OF FOUR MID EIGHTEENTH CENTURY SALTS JAMES KER, EDINBURGH 1745 The slight bellied bodies with corded rim and with engraved monogrammed cipher and coronet above, raised on three stepped and hoof feet, the interiors gilded and with later liners (4) 7.3cm across, 12.8oz Provenance: Commissioned by John Hope, 2nd Earl of Hopetoun The monogram and coronet engraved to these salts is recorded on a fine Montieth by James Ker, hallmarked 1746, which likely formed part of this original commission which included these salts, see ‘Silver; Made in Scotland’ NMS 2008, item 4.37, illustrated page 80. Also Georgina Lee, British Monteiths p 106, item 310 The Hopetoun family for two generations, Charles and John Hope 1st and 2nd Earls, were perhaps the most important commissioners of silver in Scotland. Their influence on the Edinburgh trade appears to have not only given many valuable and important commissions but raised the challenge of the goldsmiths to new heights to create truly fashionable and important items. As with all family commissions the success of the family closely compares to the need for silver, the expansion of Hopetoun House and its formal rooms necessitated the purchase of new and fashionable silver from Edinburgh’s finest makers.

Although now, in parts, dispersed through auctions in 1953 and 1977, the collection of silver held within the house was vast and it epitomises the status that silver brought to families and the much discussed idea of wealth held in silver and reflected their status. No doubt much was re worked and melted over the decades into new fashionable wares but a number of key pieces are still extant. Important silver bearing this provenance can be seen within institutional collections, including a unique pair of wall sconces and a fine five-piece tea service both made in Edinburgh which form part of a wider collection of Hopetoun silver within the National Museum of Scotland collection (see Silver; Made in Scotland, NMS 2008 for illustration of these and other items) and a monumental wine cooler and cistern made in London by William Lukin, housed within the Victoria & Albert Museum.

512 A FINE QUEEN ANNE DOGNOSE TABLESPOON CHARLES DUNCAN, EDINBURGH 1709 of Dognose pattern with large swollen knop to finial, the reverse of terminal with original initials ‘H / IT’ the bowl with long rat rail 19.6cm long, 75.3g Notes: This post 1700 example of an Edinburgh Dognose spoon perfectly illustrates the evolution in design for the pre 1700 Wavy End spoon to the true Dognose. Wavy End spoons are often erroneously termed Dognose but unless the terminal has the swollen / domed end it should be considered a separate pattern.

£1,500-2,000

The importance having a client such as the Hope family cannot be over stated and the status this must have given the Goldsmiths would surely have impacted on their wider business. In the small world of 18th century Goldsmiths of Edinburgh it is interesting to note the choice of Hope to follow a ‘family’ of makers and support it for decades. This is seen with some of the earliest pieces by James Penman, perhaps the most influential maker of his time, who trained both Harry Bethune and Thomas Ker, who in turn trains James Ker and continuing with successful training and partnership of James Ker and William Dempster. All these makers are closely connected with the Hopetoun story and owe a great debt to this relationship over 50 years.

A RARE GEORGE I CASKET ARCHIBALD URE (ATTRIBUTED), EDINBURGH 1729 with makers mark lacking, Assay Master Archibald Ure, of canted rectangular form with stepped foot rim, the hinged domed cover engraved to centre with Barons coronet above initials KH

This previously unrecorded Scottish toilet box / casket appears to have only one comparable which survives. That example forms part fo the highly important Kier Toilet Service by Colin Mckenzie of Edinburgh made in 1703. Its design is very similar and the sizes and weight closely match. See ‘Silver Made in Scotland’, Dalgleish and Fothringham item 4.10 page 62 for further detail on this service.

31.5cm wide 74.7oz

No other box of this period and size is known to survive.

£6,000-8,000

Although apparently lacking a makers mark it seems highly likely that Archibald Ure’s mark is seen to this both representing him as maker and Assay Master. The role of Assay Master did not preclude the holder making silver and running a workshop and in some cases items are found with the makers mark struck twice to denote this. It seems in the example however that was not deemed necessary and it was only struck once to denote both ‘positions’.

However, the output of James Nasymth would appear to be an exception to this rule. Although he did produce general wares a large percentage of his work is boxes, from small snuff boxes to fine presentation boxes and vinaigrettes such as this. When looked at overall he seems to have made a large percentage of boxes in Edinburgh through this period and was likely regarded as the specialist in Edinburgh.

Leaders in the production of Scottish pebble and granite jewellery it is believed that she was a regular customer personally buying gifts for visitors and family at Balmoral. They were commissioned soon after the death of her favourite and closest attendant at Balmoral who had helped her through the difficult time after her husband’s death. This close relationship is well recorded and much evident in the production of these pins. The pins were given to the estate workers and residents as a memento of John Brown and is recorded by Lytton Strachey’s 1921 biography of Victoria ‘following Brown’s death in 1883…. A Brown memorial brooch - of gold, with the late gillie’s head on one side and the royal monogram on the other - was designed by Her Majesty for presentation to her Highland servants and tenants, to be worn by them on the anniversary of his death, with a mourning scarf and pins’ For another example in gold see ‘The Scottish Sale’ Bonham’s 19th - 21th August 2009, lot 283

It may be blazoned as follows: Crest: An eagle issuant and reguardant proper Motto: Consilio non impetu [By counsel not by force] This snuff mull was undoubtedly in the possession of the Nova Scotia baronetcy family of Agnew of Lochnaw in the County of Wigtownshire in south west Scotland. Given its presumed date the leading candidate for its ownership was Sir Andrew Agnew of Lochnaw, the 5th Baronet (born 21st December 1687 died 21st August 1771). Sir Andrew served as Lieutenant General in the British Army and Governor of Tinmouth Castle in 1750. He married Eleanor Agnew of Lochryan (died 29th May 1785), the daughter and eventual sole heir of Thomas Agnew of Lochryan in Agnew’s home county of Wigtownshire on the 12th May 1714. Andrew and Eleanor had several children and on his death in 1771, his fifth son Stair succeeded as the 6th Baronet of Lochnaw. The Agnews of Lochnaw together with several other Wigtownshire branches of the family all stemmed from Andrew Agnew, Constable of Lochnaw who was appointed to the office of Sheriff of Wigton in 1451.

She was the daughter of George Montagu, the 1st Duke of Montagu and Mary Montagu, Countess of Cardigan and later Duchess of Montagu. After Mary’s father died, her husband was named Duke of Montagu, taking her father’s title. Elizabeth married Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch in 1767 to become Duchess of Buccleuch. In 1767, her portrait was painted by well-known artist Thomas Gainsborough. She died in 1827, at the very advanced age of 84. Sir Walter Scott wrote about her, saying “she was a woman of unbounded beneficence to, and even beyond, the extent of her princely fortune. She had a masculine courage, and great firmness in enduring affliction, which pressed on her with continued and successive blows in her later years.” There were two Montagu houses in London. Both are now demolished. The first one was given to the British Museum when the area of Bloomsbury became unfashionable. The first house, after a fire in the late 17th century that destroyed the original on the first site, was designed by Pierre Pouget in a French inspired design with Mansard roof and French interiors and gardens. The second house, where Elizabeth Scott would have grown up, was on the Thames in Whitehall, London. It was a relatively modest mansion when compared with grand period houses and had seven bays and a pediment. In 1767, Elizabeth Scott married in the Whitehall house. It was demolished in the mid-19th century and replaced with a Victorian house which was demolished in 1950. Dalkeith Palace in Edinburgh was built in 1702, on the site of an earlier palace. It served as the seat of the Montagu family until the 1920’s. It was designed by James Smith, the preeminent classical architect in Scotland at the time. It was based on William of Orange’s Netherlands palace and the engravings were done by Grinling Gibbons. Today, the palace is a historical site.

Notes:

A RARE MID SEVENTEENTH CENTURY SCOTTISH ‘DEID BELL’

This rare mid-17th century Scottish hand bell would appear to be one of only six known by James Montieth and indeed the only small example. The other five recorded bells are all large church bells and can be found in St. Andrews, North Berwick, Auchinleck and Alloway.

JAMES MONTIETH, EDINBURGH CIRCA 1642 the deep bell with short simple stalk handle the main body with reeded decoration with one border reading ‘IACOBUS MONTIETH ME FECIT 1642’ 20cm high, 15cm diameter

£2,000-3,000

It seems likely the small hand bell would have been used in a smaller parish / town as an official town or church bell likely used on market days, processions and to announce proclamations etc. Bells of this type in Scotland are often called ‘Deid Bells’ as they were also used in funeral processions and services and became so closely connected with death and the assosicated services. The maker, James Monteith, is well recorded in the records of Edinburgh and the Incorporation of Hammermen, he is recorded as a Pewterer and like many other members of the Hammermen he obviously turned his hand to varied trades to help make ends meet. His name is also seen on a brass cannon, dated 1642, which is within the collection of National Museums Scotland. This cannon is an exceptionally rare survival in Scotland and is thought to have been used by the Army of the Solemn League and Covenant. Monteith’s connections with the Covenantor cannot be overlooked as he appears to have acted as an armourer for them and likely produced other cannon, guns, armour and musket balls etc. It is recorded that he was not paid for this work until 1649 when a special act of Parliament was needed to settle his account of over £5000 Scots. Being owed such a sum must have weighed heavily on his business and within this act it is said of him ‘if some speedy course be not taken for his present subsistence, the supplicant would have cause to desert his family’

554 A FRAMED SECTION OF THE STONE OF DESTINY the small fragment deeply set within a card mount, set above a letter stating ‘This is to certify that the small piece of Sandstone...... was taken from the Stone of Destiny when it was being repaired by me in March, 1951’ hand signed ‘Robert Gray A.T, T.P City of Glasgow’ section of stone approx 1.4cm long The Stone of Destiny (also known as the Stone of Scone) and the Coronation Stone has witnessed coronations for nearly a thousand years. Before the 13th century, it was kept at the monastery of Scone. The origins of the stone before it was in Scone are unclear. In some stories the stone is associated with Fergus son of Eric, the first king of the Scots who died in 501 AD. In other stories, the stone is associated with Jacob from the Old Testament, with him using it as a pillow while he dreamt of Jacob’s Ladder.

On its discovery, and now in two pieces, Robert “Bertie” Gray, a stonemason was commissioned to repair it. Gray would have been an obvious choice, because he was a stonemason and active in the nationalist movements in Scotland, having helped to establish the National Party of Scotland in 1928. After his repair, the stone was left at Arbroath Abbey on 11 April, 1951 by Gray and Ian Hamilton, who had helped to steal it. It was subsequently returned to Westminster Abbey and was used in Queen Elizabeth’s 1953 coronation.

The stone was the subject of several medieval conflicts. In 1296, it was brought to England by King Edward I, who had captured it in war. It was ensconced in Westminster Abbey and made part of the throne there. In 1328, as a result of the Treaty of Northampton, England agreed to return the stone, but mobs of English protesters kept this from taking place. During the period of Stuart rule, even though the Stuarts were originally Scottish, the stone was not returned.

Mystery still surrounds the Stone and even as recently as 2008 the stone in Westminster’s authenticity has been called into question. This has been further fuelled by Gray’s son and daughter who claimed he made two stones and kept the real one. His children also claimed he contemplated stealing it in the 20’s and had made a copy stone to practice carrying it. Alex Salmond, former First Minister of Scotland claimed the stone in Westminster Abbey was a fake, and that the Scottish monks kept the original in 1296.

Perhaps one of the most famous episode in the Stone’s repatriation to Scotland was Christmas day 1950. In a daring escapade, it was stolen from Westminster Abbey by university students who were Scottish nationalists. Unfortunately, while stealing it, it was broken in two pieces. The pieces were shuttled around various hiding places, including (unbeknownst to him) the Consulate’s Public Affairs Officer’s basement.

The stone would finally be returned to Scotland in 1996 and is now exhibited beside the Honours of Scotland at Edinburgh Castle.

555 JACOBITE SILVER MEDALLION - PRINCESS CLEMENTINA ESCAPE FROM INNSBRUCK OTTONE HAMERANI (1694 - 1764), STRUCK 1719 Obverse; bust of Princess Clementina with legend CLEMENTINA. M. BRITIAN. FR. ET. HIB. REGINA. Reverse; Princess hurriedly escaping in a horse and carriage with Rome in the distance with legend FORTVNAM. CAV. SAMQVE. SEQVOR and in exergue DECEPTIS. CVSTODIBVIS. MDCCXIX 48mm across, 47.8g Notes: As the last in line to the Stuart throne it was important for King James to marry and marry well giving him further ‘rights’ and power in the continental Royal courts. He sent Charles Wogan to scour the courts of Europe for an appropriate bride. By 1718 he had arrived at the Sobieski Court in Ohlau and an agreement was made that Clementina would become his bride. The now betrothed Clementina travelled incognito to meet James in Bologna with her mother accompanied by James Murray. However, word had likely reached King George of the planned union and he was rightly worried this signalled the future of the Stuart line, meaning the marriage had to be stopped from taking place. To this end he ordered Emperor Charles VI to hold the wedding party at Innsbruck; a ruler who felt compelled to obey, surely down to reasons of state and his own protection. By September both Clementina and her mother were being held prisoner in Innsbruck by which time James had arrived in Bologna to meet them. On hearing the news, in October, he sent Charles Wogan to rescue his bride and bring her to him so they could be married. In cavalier style Wogan saved the Princess, substituting her for a maid servant and leaving her mother to explain all when the plot would be discovered the day after. They both fled to Bologna to meet James, who by this time had left as there was hope of support from Spain. Clementina was married to James in Bologna by proxy with James Murray standing in his stead before they left to unite James with his bride. It has been said that this medal was ordered by Pope Innocent XI as the Sobieski’s were staunch Catholics, with the hope that when James and Clementina married they would secure the Catholic Stuarts a place back on the throne.

Of the five, one has been lost, one broken and one retained by the owner, and possibly disposed of since, as three specimens are traceable’ Old English Drinking Glasses, G Francis page 191 Investing in Georgian Glass, Ward Lloyd page 130 The Jacobite’s and their Drinking Glasses, G. Seddon plate 71 Notes: The Oak Society was one of many pro-Jacobite clubs which sprung up after the defeat at Culloden. They met in London at the Crown & Anchor on the corner of Arundel Street and the Strand. It has been previously discussed that the medallions they produced were done so to commemorate the visit of Prince Charles, in the upmost secrecy, to London and the Society in 1750. It is also considered that the motto ‘Redi’ to the foot of this glass relates to these clandestine visits of Prince Charles to London. The supposition being that ‘Redi’ was a contraction of ‘Redii’ meaning ‘I have returned’ so in relation to the visits rather than the beginning of the ‘45 and Charles’s arrival in Scotland.

As quoted in the catalogue of the Seton Veitch collection’ Some have suggested they might be Dutch. Despite the strange proportions and the Continental character of the engraving, this seems unlikely. Perhaps the form of the bowl suggests a Scottish glasshouse. Despite its unusual looks the glass is extremely competently made.

£2,000-3,000

Notes: The hidden Jacobite symbolism on this box is not perhaps as obvious as those on glasses and other snuff boxes, however its meaning is deep within the Stuart cause. As discussed by Prof. J. H. Plumb, Vice Master of Christ’s College, Cambridge: “The son (pun on the ‘sun’) of Charles I - will return or emerge (as the moon is doing from the eclipse) from the Boscobel Oak (the oak tree with the Welsh mountains behind, which was commonly used as a symbol for Charles II at the time of the Commonwealth) to his kingdom (indicated by the engraved city on the right) or this might read from Breda (I have not seen an engraving of this city, but it might be related to a city with twin spires) and restore the succession (the crown), royal authority (orb), the church (mitre), bring peace (the spectre laid across the sword) restore the coinage (the bits of gold on the table), and hang (the halter) his enemies. There is the picture of a peaceful and plentiful countryside to the left. The

fact of the guineas on the table, suggests, I think, that the box can be dated just after 1696 when the re-coinage by the government of William III created great difficulty for most people and brought about a chronic shortage of cash. Also I think that this emblematic description of restoration of the Stuarts is cast in an historic form so that it could not be regarded as treasonable. It could be argued that it only depicted what had happened in 1660, although the implication, of course is clear enough: what happened once might happen again”.

569 AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY JACOBITE PORTRAIT RING unmarked, the oval head with portrait behind glass after Alexis-Simon Belle, in a scalloped silver mount with yellow gold shank, in later leather box head 1cm Notes: Portrait rings and other jewellery have been recorded as used and gifted by the Stuart Royal family from as early as King Charles I, to commemorate his execution, to the restoration of King Charles II. This medium, however, was seldom used by the Jacobite court, although some very rare portrait rings of Prince Charles from the mid-18th century and later are known. Much Jacobite jewellery consists of later supporters’ jewellery, rather than period pieces, and are not as closely connected to the Court, such as this. This ring is a very rare and early example, depicting the Old Pretender and likely dating to the uprising of 1715 when King James was still the figurehead of the Jacobite cause. The portrait appears to be after the Belle portrait while James III was Prince of Wales in c1700 or the portrait of him immediately after taking the title of King in 1702. While there are similarities to both the fact that James appears to be wearing a wig of white hair rather than as in the portraits his natural hair does show some artistic license. The portrait shows James in the finery associated with his position as rightful King and notably even in such a small scale with his sash of the Order of the Garter, making sure this claim to his Royal lineage is prominent.

BOND (EIGHTEENTH CENTURY SCOTTISH SCHOOL) LADY CHARLOTTE STUART, DAUGHTER OF PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD Inscribed on stretcher verso, oil on canvas, unframed 76cm x 63.5cm (30in x 25in) Provenance: The Hardy Collection, Christie’s London 22nd January 1954 English Country House Collection Private Collection

£3,000-5,000

Notes: Charlotte Stuart Duchess of Albany 1753-1789 The heir to the Jacobite throne, Charlotte was born to Charles Edward Stuart and his Scottish mistress Clementina Walkinshaw at Liège in October 1753. Her parents, unmarried, it was only in 1784 when Charles legitimised her and created her Duchess of Albany in the Jacobite Peerage on his death bed. This is particularly so, as she was his only child to survive infancy. On March 30, 1783, Charles as King Charles III signed an Act of Legitimation by which he recognised his natural daughter, Charlotte. This Act of Legitimation was forwarded to King Louis XVI of France who confirmed it and had it registered in the Parlement de Paris. When Charlotte moved to live with Charles in Florence at the Palazzo San Clemente in October 1784, Charlotte nursed her father and in the latter years of his life ensured he returned to the Palazzo Muti in Rome. She sacrificed everything to be with him including her mother and her own illegitimate children.

Her letters home to her mother while living with Charles in Italy reflect her agonising conflict of loyalty to both parents. Clementina had removed Charlotte from Charles at a young age, raising her in convents across the continent. Charles’s refusal to acknowledge her mother meant that she was never to see her mother or her children which were a secret she kept all her life from her father. On her death the Cardinal Duke of York revoked her claim and those relating to her. However there has been much conversation around her heirs and it is through Charlotte that the Jacobite sentiment is alive today. Furthermore, the romanticism of the Duchess of Albany has been epitomised throughout history and nonetheless by Robert Burns This lovely maid’s of nobel blood, That ruled Albion’s kingdoms three; But Oh, Alas! for her bonie face, They hae wrang’d the lass of ALBANIE.

640 THE CAMERON FAMILY SWORD - AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY AND EARLIER SCOTTISH BASKET HILTED BROADSWORD the early 18th century basket of Stirling form with flattened round bars enclosing bold ram’s horns and S bars, the pierced knuckle guards with scalloped edges and pierced lozenge and circular designs, the reeded pommel with screw fitting, the fish skin covered grip copper flat wire bound with similar ferrule, the earlier large double edged blade with twin short fullers and orb and cross bladesmiths mark, engraved the length ‘Yis Suerd was brukyt be Ht Cameron at ye Batttailly off Stirling Bryg MCCXCVII and Bannockburn MCCCXIIIII & Feili Melle’, at the join of blade and hilt a loose fitting plaque is engraved ‘Yis Thrusande Claiffoff Metell gud aeft Tynt 3 hits Shynn in Saxonys Blud’, original leather tooled scabbard blade 81cm long, overall length 98cm Notes: The tradition of re mounting family historic blades by antiquarian members of families is will recorded, with many important families still having such items within their collections. This can be seen in other relics / trophies such as the Preston Blunderbuss sold within these room ‘Jacobite, Stuart & Scottish Applied Arts’ 13th May 2015, lot 124. This blade is unusual in its mounting seems much earlier than the usual early 19th century fashion for the Scottish revival fueled by Sir Walter Scott culminating in the visit of George IV to Edinburgh. Sadly its provenance is now almost lost and the story which follows it has been handed down verbally rather than written. Repute which follows this blade suggests that it was remounted in the early 18th century (the basket hilt being commissioned at that time) to be taken to the Jacobite risings and follow Prince Charles where it was not only used but continued the families connection and involvement with the protection and support of the nation.

641 AN IMPORTANT EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY SILVER MOUNTED SCOTTISH BASKET HILTED SWORD C1620 the basket formed of flat sheet and curved boars with shaped guards with toothed border and incised linear details, profusely applied with silver mounts, icons and mottos, large compressed pommel with conical, the leather bound wooden grip with lattice bound twisted wire, the single edged blade with triple fuller and signed to both sides blade 83cm, overall 102cm long Notes: This important early basket hilted sword offers an insight into not just the traditions of use and significance of swords in Scotland, but also reflects the long-standing pride Jacobite families held across the generations. While it is easy to consider this sword as a romantic fancy, a family relic which has been ‘improved’ by the addition of silver mounts, this would be short-sighted. The closest comparison to this sword in its overall outline and formation of the basket is the highly important ‘Twysden Sword’ in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The fine silver encrusted basket hilted sword that is believed to have belonged to Sir William Twysden (1566 - 1628) who was closely connected with the Royal Stuart court and was knighted by King James I in 1603. While it cannot be said the Earlshall sword under discussion is by the same hand it must be agreed that the similarities in style offer a close connection. The distinctive silver mounts that encrust the basket of Earlshall sword are a key area of interest. The precise date of each of the mounts still remains a matter of debate, some being original to the early 17th century manufacture of the hilt and others added around 1707 and the Act of Union. The two classical medallions to the pommel appear to be contemporary to the manufacture and have comparisons to the Twysden sword and others in the Wallace Collection. The addition of mounts in the early 18th century, reflect a high-status family strong and very public in their support of the Jacobite cause choosing to make a political and nationalistic statement with their family relic. This was likely around the time of the union under Queen Anne or perhaps a little earlier at the time of the initial Jacobite uprisings. The addition of St. Andrew on the cross, thistles and overt naming of James Stuart are obvious and common icons of this period. Equally, the motto to the knuckle guard can leave nobody in doubt owner’s allegiances, “Prosperity to Schotland, No union, God save ye Kings James VIII.” A motto emblazoned in the centre of the sword - in full view when worn by the side or drawn in action - would have been a bold and to some a controversial statement. This motto can be seen on other Jacobite relics of c.1700, most notably to a group of basket hilted sword blades which bear the same motto and unusual spelling of Scotland. For a fine example of this blade type see ‘Two Great Scottish Collections; property from the Forbes of Pitsligo and the Marquesse of Lothian’ Sotheby’s 28th March 2017 lot 108, for the sword of Alexander, 4th Lord Forbes of Pitsligo. The spelling of ‘Schotland’ has long been explained by the manufacture of the blades in Germany before their movement to Scotland to be hilted, a common practice on the 17th and 18th centuries. It is believed that a group of blades, engraved with strong Jacobite sentiment, were commissioned on the Continent for distribution around Scotland to capitalise on the growing antiUnion sentiment. The mounting of this particular blade on such a prestigious hilt may be a reflection of the high status, perhaps even Royal connections, of the owner. While there is much to be discussed around the Earlshall sword, including its early provenance, it is certain that it is a historically important piece of Scottish arms, reflecting a key moment in the country’s history.

DEFINITIONS In these Conditions of Sale (Buyers): “Auctioneer” means Lyon and Turnbull Ltd (Registered in Scotland No: 191166 | Registered address: 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3RR) or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; “Hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the Auctioneer brings down the hammer; “High Cumulative Value of Lot” means several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above; “High Value Lot” means a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above; “Lot” means each Item offered for sale by Lyon and Turnbull; “Purchase Price” is the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium; “Reserve” means the lowest price below which an item cannot be sold; “Total amount due” means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax or other taxes chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting Buyer under these Conditions; “You”, “Your” means the Buyer; “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon and Turnbull Ltd, The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. 2. AGENCY Lyon and Turnbull acts as agent solely for and in the interests of the Seller. We do not act for Buyers in this role and do not give advice to Buyers. When Lyon and Turnbull make a statement about a lot it is doing so on behalf of the Seller of the lot. The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 3. B IDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security and credit references or arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid; (b) High Value Lots and High Cumulative Value of Lots: If you wish to bid on any High Value Lot (a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above) or if you are bidding on several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above, you are invited to complete the High Value Lot pre-registration. After you have successfully registered as a bidder with Lyon and Turnbull, you should complete the High Value Lot pre-registration before the date of sale by contacting the Office Manager or

on the date of sale at the registration area. Unless otherwise agreed by us, you will be permitted to bid for High Value Lots only if Lyon and Turnbull has confirmed your payment of deposit and your completion of the High Value Lot pre-registration before the sale. The Deposit required will be 10% of the lower estimate. Upon pre-registration, you should pay the deposit or such other sum as determined by Lyon and Turnbull dependant on circumstances, by way of bank transfer or credit card(s) acceptable to Lyon and Turnbull. Please note that Lyon and Turnbull does not accept payment from third parties and this also applies to agents. If you are not successful in any bid and do not owe Lyon and Turnbull any debt, the deposit will be refunded to you by way of wire transfer or such other methods as determined by Lyon and Turnbull. Please make sure that you provide your bank details in the preregistration form. The exchange rate provided to us by the bank on the date of exchange is final. We will arrange to refund the deposit to you within seven days after the date of sale, however we do not guarantee when you will receive the payment due to the variance in time for banks to process fund transfers. Upon successful pre-registration, you will be given a numbered High Value Lot paddle for identification purposes. The auctioneer will usually only accept bids made with the High Value Lot paddle or by its High Value Lot registered bidder. This applies to saleroom, telephone and absentee bids. Lyon and Turnbull has the right to change the High Value Lot pre-registration procedures and requirements from time to time without notice. (c) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion. (d) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (e) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (f) Commission Bids: While prospective Buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. (g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in bidding by telephone.

We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding. 4. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion. 5. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the hammer price of each lot up to and including £100,000, plus 20% from £100,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 6. RESERVES Unless indicated by a insert symbol (∆ ), all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential hammer price established between Lyon and Turnbull and the seller. The reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. 7. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant lots. (1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 8. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in

the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk. 9. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. (b) Please note that we do not accept cash payments over £5,000. (2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing by you to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by you or your agent, whether express or implied. 10. T ITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due. (2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. (5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot.

11. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the Sellers and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the contract for sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). (d) to remove, store and insure the lot in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere and to recover from you all costs incurred in respect thereof; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month above the current base rate on all sums outstanding for more than 7 working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or which become due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due by you and to exercise a lien over any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. 12. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/ images provided may not be fully

representative of the condition of the lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the lot. (2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or Lyon and Turnbull and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our condition report does not form any contract between Lyon and Turnbull and the Buyer. The condition reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. Lyon and Turnbull provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item. (7) Wine: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, you affirm that you are at least that age. On collection, you must provide positive proof of age should this be requested. Buyers of wines must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. Lyon and Turnbull can provide no

guarantees as to how the wine may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the buyer must be made. Wine is sold “as is” and quality of the wine is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (8) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms, etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 13. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of lots sold for less than £300. (2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, Lyon and Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that Lyon and Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. 14. CITES Please be aware that all lots marked with the symbol Y may be subject to CITES regulations when exporting these items outside the EU. These regulations may be found at http:// www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/importsexports/cites Lyon and Turnbull accepts no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such. 15. SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY (a) The same Conditions of Sale (Buyers) shall apply to sales by private

141

treaty. (b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers.

(d) For the purposes of a private treaty sale, if a lot is sold in any other currency than Sterling, the exchange rate is to be taken on the date of sale. 16. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation, safety and security arrangements. Accordingly, neither the Auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to, during or after a sale. 17. GENERAL (a) We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

(c) Notices to Lyon and Turnbull should be in writing and addressed to the Managing Director at 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh EH1 3RR, quoting the reference number specified at the beginning of the sale catalogue. (d) Should any provision of these Conditions of Sale be held unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. (e) These Conditions of Sale are not assignable by either party without the other’s prior written consent. No act, omission or delay by Lyon and Turnbull shall be deemed a waiver or release of any of its rights. (f) The contract between the parties may be varied by the parties by agreement and in writing. 18. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE Lyon and Turnbull guarantees that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each lot in this catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the catalogue description of the lot, as amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. Lyon and Turnbull makes no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event Lyon and Turnbull in its reasonable opinion deems that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall refund to the original purchaser of the
