no record of what sparked their interest. Things Victorian were the butt of cartoonists jibes, the Festival of Britain was fresh in peoples memories and ‘contemporary’ was the watchword for interior decoration. Antique shops were full of unwanted Victoriana; the BADA begrudgingly extended its date limit to allow Regency pieces to be exhibited at the Grosvenor House Fair but banned anything later. Peter and Albert’s early acquisitions were chosen for their evocative quality rather than their intellectual conception. Papier mache chairs and bois claire drawing room furniture furnished their modest early abodes. A terrace house in Richmond followed the Hampstead flat and then, in 1965, they moved to 1 Montpelier Villas in Brighton and from then on their scholarship blossomed. Christopher Dresser, W A S Benson, the Martin Brothers and Willian de Morgan exercised their curiosity and soon began to dominate the increasingly crowded house along with furniture by named designers; and they were in the vanguard of collectors of French Studio pottery. Doulton pottery and its many decorators became an engaging subject with Mark Marshall’s sculptural pieces a particular favourite. Peter’s purchase of a portfolio of Hannah Barlow’s drawings lead to research into her and her fellow Doulton decorators.

flowed with things inspired by or actually made from natural things ranging from shell pictures to a door stop made from an ostrich leg. Pottery by Blanche Vuillamy became a slight obsession and sat happily alongside other grotesquerie. Charles Handley Read emphasised the importance of keeping detailed records of their acquisitions and they obeyed. Every piece had an inventory card with a photograph of the object and details of where purchased and the price. Notes on provenance and subsequent research were added, with receipts and catalogues being filed separately. The archive is an important record of the collection and of the antique market in the second half of the 20th century. It is destined for the Brotherton Library in Leeds where it will eventually be available to students and a scholars. This permanent record of a remarkable collection together with the Albert Dawson Trust will ensure that the remarkable achievement of Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan will be preserved in perpetuity.

Moving in similar artistic circles and almost direct contemporaries, HARRY POWELL OF JAMES POWELL & SONS AND W.A.S. BENSON shared the same commitment to progressive ideas in design and business and were natural collaborators. Benson is today celebrated as a pioneer of Arts & Crafts lighting design, adept at using the reflective qualities of metal to enhance the light source. He had met William Morris through his friendship with Edward Burne-Jones and was encouraged by him to open a small workshop in Hammersmith, specialising in metalwork. In 1882 he moved to larger premises in Chiswick and in 1887 he opened showrooms on Bond Street. Throughout the 1880s Benson was involved in designing wallpapers and furniture for Morris & Co. and, on Morris’ death in 1896, Benson took over the direction of the company until he retired in 1917. Harry Powell took over as manager and chief designer of James Powell and Sons in 1875. The firm already had associations with Morris & Co. and the Pre-Raphaelite artists who were commissioned as designers on stained glass projects. Philip Webb’s glass designs for William Morris were made by James Powell & Sons in 1859 and heralded a new direction for the firm which marked them out from other manufacturers. From the 1860s, 16th and 17th century Venetian glass became very collectable, and Powells began to capitalise on this trend, producing hand-blown domestic glass, which were reinterpreted and adapted to suit the company’s style of simple, elegant forms. Another source of inspiration was ancient Roman glass and ceramics, and examples of both styles can be found in this collection. Both Powell and Benson were members of the Art Workers Guild which encouraged interdisciplinary skills and so Powell for example became adept at designing metalwork, incorporating it into his products. Benson designed across the disciplines. They promoted their work through The Studio and other publications and through participation in international exhibitions and stood together at The Glasgow International Exhibition of 1901 and The Arts & Crafts Exhibition of 1903. The opaline glass used for the shades on many of Benson’s lights, with several examples in this collection, were developed by the firm from 1862 and perfected by Powell, a chemist by training, by 1877.

Note: An initial wax version of this model of a dock worker was exhibited at the Salon De XX in Brussels in 1885, before a larger plaster was shown at the National Society of Fine Arts in Paris in 1889 to much acclaim: ‘never had one, with such intensity, put in a figure so tragic expression and touching, energy, suffering and resignation’. In 1890 the French State bought a version in bronze, which now resides at the Musée d’Orsay and a life-size copy resides in the main square in Antwerp, to the point of almost being a symbol of the city.

CHRISTOPHER DRESSER founder Linthorpe Art Pottery in Middlesbrough in 1879 with a local entrepreneur John Harrison. Harrison had met Dresser at a lecture on Japanese Art he had given locally, and Dresser had been affected by the deprivation caused by high unemployment in the area. and together they did something about it. Harrison owned a brickworks near Middlesbrough and it is from this red clay that most of the output was made. They aimed to create a model working environment with a highly trained workforce and fair pay regardless of gender. Eventually the firm would go on to employ over 100 people, including skilled workers from the Staffordshire Potteries and artists trained at the Schools of Art, South Kensington. Dresser persuaded master potter Henry Tooth to oversee the production of ware and for three years Dresser himself was ‘Art Superintendent’ of the firm. Although the work Dresser produced for Linthorpe was broadly inspired by his study of Japanese ceramics during his ground-breaking visit to Japan in 1876, characteristically he also drew from many other historicist sources including Roman glass and Peruvian and Fujian pottery, which he had studied in the British Museum. The wares at Linthorpe represent Dresser’s belief that the commonest materials can be transformed into things of beauty. Rich glazes & sculptural qualities revealed his skill in creating interesting and exciting shapes. Although critically acclaimed and reasonably priced the pottery ran into difficulties in the late 1880s, due in part to the rising cost of materials and saturation of the market by similar products produced by the Bretby pottery formed by a partnership between potter William Ault and Henry Tooth, who had left Linthorpe in 1882, and eventually the pottery closed in 1889-91. Many of the Dresser moulds were bought by Ault Pottery, which had been set up by William Ault in 1887. Christopher Dresser himself was later employed by the firm. His contract, signed in May 1893, paid £400 over three years. It specified he should travel to the factory twice a year, with first-class train expenses and a guinea a day for hotel costs for up to three days. On his visit he was to “inspect the production of objects”, “instruct the workmen” and “criticise objects already made”. The Ault Pottery was the last of three ceramic firms in the north of England with which Dresser was associated.

GEORGE TINWORTH’S love for art began when he worked as an apprentice to his father, a wheelwright. Here he would spend his days carving and drawing various pieces for parts for wheels. His family lived in poverty and for much of his childhood Tinworth worked several small jobs to help support the family. Yet in between all of this he developed an impressive talent for sculpting after taking local evening school classes. With his mother’s encouragement he enrolled in the Lambeth School of Art and later received an opportunity to study at the prestigious Royal Academy. Here he honed his craft further and won multiple awards for his work. Around the same time, the familyrun factory of Doulton was about to diversify from its usual production line of industrial ceramic wares, such as bathroom fittings and drainage pipes, in favour of decorative art pottery. Having been introduced to the Doulton’s by his old headmaster, a partnership was soon struck between the two and before long Tinworth’s output for the factory was immense. Most of the works Tinworth produced throughout his career were religious reliefs, often in terracotta and reflected his fascination with biblical scenes and scriptures, having studied them since he was a child. However, from the 1880s onwards, in an attempt to find some light-relief from his religious compositions, he began to produce playful sculptures on a much smaller scale. These fun and endearing pieces often featured, mice, frogs and children at play, in a number of humorous situations. Produced from moulds design by Tinworth, then handassembled by his assistants before adding some final touches himself, giving life to his character studies. It is not known how many of these dynamic and light-hearted pieces were produced,

Her designs for the pottery were an instant success, and featured heavily in the 1896 catalogue, as well as in exhibitions as the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. Childhood, motherhood and religion remained dominant themes throughout her work, and in particular, her charming compositions of children proved popular to Della Robbia’s customers. The figures, modelled with simplicity, have a certain classical aura about them; Rope’s approach was delicate, as she sought to offer up a graceful, tender, and endearing interpretation of her figures and the relationship between them.

Goscombe John and chose a Celtic style for the commission because it ‘is suitable for any object definitely of Welsh interest and secondly because the Celtic is essentially a “religious art”.’ The father and mother mourning their child represents love triumphing over pain. The full-scale model was sent to Wurttemburg, Germany, to be cast in silver. In October 1914 Jagger resigned from the commission because, having enlisted, he felt he could not complete the work. The model sent to Germany is presumed lost, but a bronze cast was listed in the studio inventory at Jagger’s death.

244 ALEXANDER FISHER (1864-1936) BHANAVAR THE BEAUTIFUL, CIRCA 1903-4 silvered metal, black patinated bronze base, signed ALEX FISHER/ BHANAVAR 49cm (19 1/4in) high Provenance: 20th Century Decorative Arts, Christie’s South Kensington, 23 July 1993, lot 765; Purchased from Michael Whiteway, December 1993. Literature: Coleman, B., The Best of British Arts & Crafts, Atglen, 2004, p. 213 (illustrated). Note: George Meredith’s The Story of Bhanavar the Beautiful, from a collection of pseudo-oriental stories titled The Shaving of Shagpat was first published in 1856 and became a popular subject of artists and sculptors of the period. The tale follows Bhanavar, an Arabian beauty and innocent daughter of a Caucasian amir, who gains possession of a magical jewel and is transformed into an evil queen of the serpents. In Alexander Fisher’s rendition he captures Bhanavar at the moment of transformation, with her arms held aloft to the heavens, creating a femme fatale figure that was a source of fascination to the public, as was shown in art and literature of the period, in the latter half of the long nineteenth century.

AUGUSTE DELAHERCHE earned himself the nickname ‘poet of stoneware’ and the works in this sale illustrate the subtlety of his simple forms and tonal glaze effects. He is regarded as a master of glazes and invested much of his career researching and experimenting to create a great variety in his production. Besides having a fascination with the regional ceramics of his native Beauvais, he was inspired by Asian glazes and firing methods. He had a love of drip glaze that appear accidental but were in fact meticulously planned. Examples of his work are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

In 1882 ERNEST CHAPLET founded his own atelier with assistance from Albert-Louis Dammouse and funding from Haviland & Company. He produced works in stoneware with Japanese inspired decoration.

CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUYERS (UK) These Conditions of Sale and the Saleroom Notices as well as specific Catalogue terms, set out the terms on which we offer the Lots listed in this Catalogue for sale. By registering to bid and/or by bidding at auction You agree to these terms, we recommend that You read them carefully before doing so. You will find a list of definitions and a glossary at the end providing explanations for the meanings of the words and expressions used. 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. In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. “You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller.

A. BEFORE THE SALE 1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS 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. All dimensions and weights are approximate only. 2. O UR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below. (a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website

21.2

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 us 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 us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (b) 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. (c) 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. 3. WITHDRAWAL Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw. 4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS (a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any

improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) 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, we make 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 we 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. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) Alcohol: 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. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (d) 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. (e) 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. (f) 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. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

made. Bids must be expressed in the currency of the saleroom. The Auctioneer will take reasonable steps to carry out written bids at the lowest possible price, taking into account the Reserve.

D. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM, TAXES AND ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY 1. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £300,000, plus 20% from £300,001 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. 2. 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. Please see D.2(e) for the conditions to be fulfilled before the VAT charged on the Hammer Price may be cancelled or refunded upon exporting from the UK. (a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium 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 UK and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (b) Lots affixed with (‡): A reduced rate of Import Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the UK. (c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of 20% of Import Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the UK and do not fall within the reduced rate category. (d) Lots affixed with [Ω] or ‡ when these lots are released to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay us Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. the import VAT at the rates noted above on the hammer price. The buyer should also note that the appropriate rate will be that in force on the date of our release and not that in force at the date of auction or payment. (e) Export from the UK: For lots

offered under the VAT Margin Scheme and lots with [Ω] or ‡ symbols attached; you may be eligible to have a VAT refund in certain circumstances if the lot is exported. Should you show us proof of export within three months of collection a VAT refund may be arranged. No VAT amounts will be refunded where the total refund is under £100. Bank/transfer charges relating to any refund will be borne by the buyer and will not be reimbursed. Please also note that all customs formalities of the destination country are the responsibility of the buyer. 3. A RTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (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.

We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements.
