THE VIEW / BWRW GOLWG

Welcome to the first 2021 edition

Croeso i rifyn cyntaf 2021

So, we have closed the door tightly on 2020, for most, with a sense of relief and a throw away of the key. I sincerely hope you are all well and that a gentle breeze of Spring is blowing optimism in your direction.

Felly, rydym wedi cau’r drws yn glep ar 2020, i’r rhan fwyaf, gydag ymdeimlad o ryddhad a chan daflu’r allwedd i ffwrdd. Mawr obeithiaf eich bod yn iach a bod chwa o wynt y gwanwyn yn chwythu gobaith i’ch cyfeiriad.

The last twelve months have gone by incredibly quickly. Just over a year ago, we were researching and cataloguing the Vivian Family Archive. And it feels like just three or four months ago when the Vivian collection sold in last March’s Welsh Sale. The artefacts which told the story of Swansea’s most famous family, spanned three centuries. The never seen before scrapbooks, pictures and artefacts revealed the lives of the well-heeled industrialist in a time of elegance and high society

Mae’r deuddeg mis diwethaf wedi hedfan heibio. Ychydig dros flwyddyn yn ôl, roeddem yn ymchwilio i, ac yn catalogio Archif y Teulu Vivian. Ac mae’n teimlo fel dim ond tri neu bedwar mis yn ôl pan werthodd y casgliad Vivian yn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig fis Mawrth diwethaf. Roedd yr arteffactau a adroddai hanes teulu mwyaf enwog Abertawe, yn pontio tair canrif. Datgelodd y llyfrau sgrap, lluniau ac arteffactau na welwyd erioed o’r blaen, fywydau’r diwydianwyr cefnog yng nghyfnod y boneddigion a cheinder.

Twelve months later, we have been researching another incredible family archive - this one is of a sporting nature. The Birkett family are a clan who left quite a mark on the sport of rugby union…and football. The Birkett Archive forms part of a strong Rugby section in our Selections & Collections auction to take place on April 17th.

This is hot on the tail of The Welsh Sale which starts at 11am on the same day, in what we now coin ‘Super Saturday’.

Ddeuddeg mis yn ddiweddarach, rydym wedi bod yn ymchwilio i archif teulu anhygoel arall - o natur chwaraeon y tro hwn. Mae’r teulu Birkett yn llwyth a adawodd gryn farc ar gamp rygbi’r undeb...a phêl-droed.

Mae Archif Birkett yn ffurfio rhan o adran Rygbi gref yn ein harwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau i’w gynnal ar 17 Ebrill. Bydd yr arwerthiant hwn yn dilyn yr Arwerthiant Cymreig sy’n dechrau am 11am ar yr un diwrnod, yn yr hyn rydym yn ei alw bellach yn ‘Ddydd Sadwrn Mawr’.

It is always a great delight to be entrusted to bring such family archives, collections, and family stories, out from the cupboards (or in the case of the Birkett family, airing cupboard) and under the spotlight. As auctioneers, we see ourselves as very fortunate custodians, who are afforded the privilege of immersing ourselves, recording and relaying incredible personal achievements. Such antiques are often passed silently through the generations without the recognition they deserve.

Mae bob amser yn bleser bod yn gyfrifol am ddod ag archifau, casgliadau, a straeon teuluol o’r fath, allan o’r cypyrddau (neu yn achos y teulu Birkett, o’r cwpwrdd eirio) a thynnu sylw atynt. Fel arwerthwyr, rydym yn gweld ein hunain fel gwarcheidwaid ffodus iawn, sy’n cael y fraint o ymdrochi ein hunain, cofnodi a throsglwyddo cyflawniadau personol anhygoel. Mae hen bethau o’r fath yn aml yn cael eu pasio’n dawel drwy’r cenedlaethau heb y gydnabyddiaeth maent yn eu haeddu.

I hope that you enjoy browsing through the catalogue and happy bidding if you decide to ‘have a go’ at something. There is certainly plenty to choose from. As we say frequently on the rostrum ‘don’t regret it tomorrow’. Seize the day!

Best Wishes Ben Rogers Jones

Gobeithiaf y byddwch yn mwynhau pori drwy’r catalog a phob hwyl ar wneud cynnig os ydych yn penderfynu mynd amdani. Yn sicr mae digonedd o ddewis. Fel y dywedwn yn aml ar y rostrwm ‘peidiwch â’i ddifaru yfory’. Bachwch ar y diwrnod!

REVIEW: The Market in 2020

ADOLYGIAD: Y Farchnad yn 2020

Of course, we had no idea how the antique and fine art market would respond to the challenges of 2020. But auctioneers around the UK are reporting similarly; the market has reacted fantastically well during the pandemic. For those who may be a little sceptical, there are textbook reasons why we are seeing such positivity.

Wrth gwrs, nid oedd gennym syniad sut fyddai’r farchnad hen bethau a chelf gain yn ymateb i heriau 2020. Ond mae arwerthwyr ledled y DU yn adrodd yr un fath; bod y farchnad wedi ymateb yn rhyfeddol o dda yn ystod y pandemig. I’r rheiny sydd fymryn yn amheus, efallai, mae rhesymau clasurol pam ydym yn gweld y fath bositifrwydd.

Firstly, there are fewer items on the market as many potential vendors put on hold their requirements to get items valued and into an auction. Consequently, the market has been thinner, which has in turn driven prices upwards (as per the first rule of economics - supply and demand). But conversely bidding numbers have increased, particularly in the non-trade sector as the digital live bidding systems have come into their own in the last year for private buyers. Collectors, homemakers, and enthusiasts have shifted their spending from travel and leisure to owning things that please and excite them. Plus, working from home does have its perks!

Yn gyntaf, mae llai o eitemau ar y farchnad gan fod nifer o ddarpar werthwyr yn oedi eu gofynion i brisio eitemau a’u gwerthu mewn arwerthiant. O ganlyniad, mae’r farchnad yn deneuach, sydd yn ei dro wedi cynyddu prisiau (yn unol â rheol gyntaf economeg - galw a chyflenwad). Ond, i’r gwrthwyneb, mae nifer y cynigion wedi cynyddu, yn benodol yn y sector di-fasnach wrth i’r systemau gwneud cynigion byw digidol ennill eu plwyf yn y flwyddyn ddiwethaf i brynwyr preifat.

Mae casglwyr, y rheiny sy’n gyfrifol am y cartref, a selogion wedi newid o wario ar deithio a hamdden i brynu pethau sy’n eu plesio a’u cyffroi.

Yn ogystal, mae gan weithio gartref ei fanteision!

As restrictions are lifted we are confident that the market will remain strong bearing in mind the increase in new bidders we are experiencing and even though a higher volume of lots is predicted.

Wrth i’r cyfyngiadau lacio, rydym yn hyderus y bydd y farchnad yn parhau’n gryf gan gadw yn y cof y cynnydd yn y cynigwyr newydd rydym yn ei brofi, ac er y rhagwelir nifer uwch o lotiau.

REVIEW: The Welsh Sale: December 5th 2020

Adolygiad: Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig: 5ed Rhagfyr 2020

Lots: 365 Sold: 335 (91%) Total: £222,485

Lotiau: 365 Gwerthwyd: 335 (91%) Cyfanswm: £222,485

December’s Welsh Sale got off to a very solid start with an excellent section of Welsh pottery and porcelain, with items from a West Wales deceased estate contributing over 100 lots. This discerning collection included Swansea and Nantgarw porcelain, as well as many rare items of early Welsh pottery, from the historic Swansea factories and the lesser-known factory of Ynysmeudwy.

Dechreuodd Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Rhagfyr yn gryf gyda chasgliad rhagorol o grochenwaith a phorslen Cymreig, gydag eitemau o stad ymadawedig yng ngorllewin Cymru yn cyfrannu 100 lot. Roedd y casgliad chwaethus hwn yn cynnwys porslen Abertawe a Nantgarw, yn ogystal â nifer o eitemau prin o grochenwaith Cymreig cynnar, o ffatrïoedd hanesyddol Abertawe a ffatri lai adnabyddus Ynysmeudwy.

Highlights of the collection included a Nantgarw plate, decorated lavishly in the Meissen style, selling for £3000 (1).

A rare Ynysmeudwy pottery Baptism basin for Pantteg chapel, weighed-in at £2100, a rare Dillwyn & Co jug to commemorate Wellington booted away the £300-500 estimate to £1650 (2), and an Ynysmeudwy pottery advertising plate for Huzzey’s Brewery frothed-over its £150-250 estimate to £600 (3).

Roedd uchafbwyntiau’r casgliad yn cynnwys plât Nantgarw, wedi’i addurno’n gain yn yr arddull Meissen, yn gwerthu am £3000 (1).

Gwerthodd crochenwaith prin o Ynysmeudwy, basn bedyddio ar gyfer capel Pant Teg am £2100. Rhagorodd jwg Dillwyn & Co prin i goffau Wellington yr amcan bris o £300-500 gan werthu am £1650 (2), a bu i grochenwaith o Ynysmeudwy, plât hysbysebu ar gyfer Bragdy Huzzey wneud yr un fath, gan guro’i amcan bris o £150-250 a gwerthu am £600 (3).

Roedd y casgliad hwn yn eiddo i un perchennog, yn llawn enghreifftiau prin ac anarferol o grochenwaith Cymreig a chafodd gryn sylw gan y farchnad, wrth gyrraedd dros £38,000.

Eitem arall o ffynhonnell wahanol oedd y pâr cyntefig, dymunol o rwyfau yn adrodd stori Gymreig (4). Roeddent yn darlunio Merched Llangollen ynghyd â Jenny Jones. Cawsant eu creu oddeutu 1915 gan y cwmni cydweithredol o Sir Ddinbych, Clwyd Toys. Roeddent wedi cael eu pasio i lawr yn ddiogel drwy deulu o orllewin Cymru ac er gwaethaf eu natur fregus, bu iddynt oroesi mewn cyflwr ffres, hyfryd.

This one owner collection was populated by rare and unusual examples of Welsh pottery and was very well received by the market, realising over £38,000.

Gallaf nawr gyhoeddi bod eu taith wedi parhau i Amgueddfa Sain Ffagan, lle byddant yn cael eu harddangos a’u gwarchod ar gyfer cenedlaethau i ddod.

Another item from a different source was the charmingly primitive pair of Welsh story-telling paddles (4). They depicted The Ladies of Llangollen together with Jenny Jones. They were crafted in around 1915 by a Denbighshire co-operative, Clwyd Toys. They had been passed down safely through a West Wales family and despite their delicate nature they survived in lovely fresh condition.

I can now announce that their journey continued to St Fagan’s Museum, where they will be displayed and preserved for generations to come.

O fewn yr adran baentiadau, roeddem wedi ein bendithio gyda rhai enghreifftiau diddorol a chain gan ein ffefrynnau poblogaidd. Roedd paentiad dyfrlliw trawiadol gan Kyffin Williams o Garmel o dan haul y nos, a werthodd am £6200 (5).

Bu i ni guro record yr arwerthiant am waith Nick Holly gyda golygfa hiraethus o Gaerdydd, a werthodd am £3700 (6). Roedd diddordeb mawr yn ffigwr tinnoeth Harry Holland, a werthodd am swm hy o £3400 a chynigion di-rif ar weithiau gan Donald McIntyre, Gwilym Prichard a John Elwyn.

Within the paintings section we were blessed with some very fine and interesting examples from our regular favourites. There was a belting Kyffin Williams watercolour of Carmel under evening sun, which made £6200 (5). We broke the auction record for Nick Holly’s work with a nostalgic view of Cardiff, that realised £3700 (6). There was huge interest in Harry Holland’s bare-bottomed figure, which made a cheeky £3,400 and fierce bidding on works by Donald McIntyre, Gwilym Prichard and John Elwyn.

Lots: 87 Sold: 78% Total: £67,400 1

December’s Selections & Collections auction was flavoured by a super section of jewellery and watches, a market which is thriving.

The outstanding results in this category included amber beads which tripled their estimate to £1300, a beautiful opal and diamond bangle closing at £1000, an Art Deco brooch took £2900 (1) and an exotic Tahitian black pearl necklace, formed from the black lip oyster in French Polynesia, cultivated a hammer-price of £3900 (2). Also, in this section was a ladies Cartier ‘tank’ watch which battled to £1300 (3) and a supreme pink sapphire and diamond necklace shone at £2500 (4).

Further on in the auction there was a pair of stunning watercolours by Henry James Johnstone (1835-1907), showing a young girl carrying shellfish and possibly her sister carrying picked flowers. As well as being a fine watercolourist, Johnstone was a leading photographer of his age and lived much of his life in Australia. The delicate tones of blue in their dresses and muted hazy summer atmosphere were a big hit and typical of this artist. In fresh condition with original frames, the pair sold for £3600 against an estimate of £1000-1500 (5).

We see many tantaluses pass through our auction rooms. A tantalus is a device for locking up the liquor from the ‘servants and younger sons getting at the whisky’. In Greek mythology, Tantalus was a

figure who was made to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches, with the fruit ever eluding his grasp, the water receding before he could take a drink.

3

Most we see have wooden frames with metal fittings, some are electroplated silver, but rarely are they solid silver.

So, it was a first for us to sell a solid silver example in December, the maker was the famous James Dixon & Sons of Sheffield. The hammer price was a spirited one at £1900 (6).

Another first for us, was the chance to offer a rare pair of Staffordshire pottery dogs which are known to collectors but rarely seen. Victorian Staffordshire dogs are a common sight, and a standard pair will create no more than a whimper at auction, but the market for rare pairs, which have an unusual characteristic is far healthier. ‘Grace and Majesty’ are one such pair, as they stand on bases in the form of regal pink cushions. They were in wonderful Crufts standard condition and fetched £1400 (7).

ADOLYGIAD: Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau 5ed Rhagfyr 2020 Lotiau: 87 Gwerthwyd: 78% Cyfanswm: £67,400 Roedd arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau mis Rhagfyr yn serennu adran fawr o emwaith ac oriorau, marchnad sy’n ffynnu. Ymhlith y canlyniadau arbennig yn y categori hwn oedd gleiniau melyngoch a werthodd am £1300, teirgwaith yr amcan bris, breichled ddiemwnt ac opal hardd a werthodd am £1000, broetsh Art Deco a werthodd am £2900 (1) a chadwen berlau du Tahitïaidd egsotig, wedi’i ffurfio o’r wystrysen gwefusau du ym Mholynesia Ffrengig a werthodd am bris aruthrol o £3900 (2). Hefyd, yn yr adran hon oedd oriawr ‘tank’ Cartier i fenywod a werthodd am £1300 (3) a chadwen ddiemwnt a saffir pinc, rhagorol a serennodd am £2500 (4).

Yn ddiweddarach yn yr arwerthiant roedd pâr o baentiadau dyfrlliw gwefreiddiol gan Henry James Johnstone (1835-1907), yn dangos merch ifanc yn cario pysgod cregyn a’i chwaer, o bosib, yn cario blodau wedi’u casglu. Yn ogystal â bod yn beintiwr dyfrlliwiau o fri, roedd Johnstone yn ffotograffydd blaenllaw ei oes a bu’n byw yn Awstralia am y rhan fwyaf o’i fywyd. Roedd yr arlliwiau ysgafn o las yn eu ffrogiau ac awyrgylch tesog, tawel yr haf yn boblogaidd iawn ac yn nodweddiadol o’r artist hwn. Mewn cyflwr ffres gyda fframiau gwreiddiol, gwerthodd y pâr am £3600 yn erbyn amcan bris o £1000-1500 (5).

Rydym yn gweld nifer o standiau gwirodydd yn pasio drwy ein hystafelloedd arwerthu.

Stand gwirodydd yw dyfais ar gyfer cloi gwirodydd oddi wrth y ‘gweision a’r meibion iau rhag iddynt gael gafael ar y wisgi’. Ym mytholeg Gwlad Groeg, roedd Tantalus yn ffigwr a orfodwyd i sefyll mewn pwll o ddŵr o dan goeden ffrwythau gyda changhennau isel, gyda’r ffrwythau yn dianc o’i afael byth a beunydd, a’r dŵr yn cilio cyn y gallai gymryd llwnc.

Mae gan y rhan fwyaf a welwn fframiau pren gyda gosodiadau metel, mae rhai wedi’u helectroplatio ag arian, ond anaml iawn maent yn arian solet.

Felly, roedd yn brofiad Jacob & James Erat £2500 newydd i ni werthu enghraifft arian solet ym mis Rhagfyr, y gwneuthurwyr oedd yr enwog James Dixon & Sons o Sheffield. Aeth o dan y morthwyl am bris cadarn o £1900 (6).

Profiad arall newydd i ni, oedd y cyfle i gynnig pâr prin o gŵn crochenwaith Swydd Stafford sy’n hysbys i gasglwyr, ond anaml y cânt eu gweld. Mae cŵn Swydd Stafford o Oes Fictoria yn olygfa gyffredin, ac ni fydd pâr cyffredin yn gwneud llawer o argraff mewn arwerthiant, ond mae’r farchnad ar gyfer parau prin, sydd â nodweddion anarferol yn iachach o lawer. Mae ‘Grace and Majesty’ yn bâr o’r fath, gan eu bod yn sefyll ar sylfeini ar ffurf clustogau pinc mawreddog. Roeddent mewn cyflwr arbennig o safon Crufts a bu iddynt werthu am £1400 (7).

PREVIEW: The Welsh Sale at 11am April 17th 2021 The Gordon Stuart Collection Gordon Thomas Stuart (1924-2015) was a Canadian-born artist who was based in Uplands, Swansea for many years. Born in Toronto, he attended Ontaria College of Art & Design. It was in 1952, that Stuart moved to Swansea working as a lecturer and adviser until devoting himself to painting full-time in 1985.

When Swansea hosted the year of literature in 1995 Stuart became artist-in-residence at the Dylan Thomas Centre and held the post for 15 years. He painted more than 200 writers, poets, and celebrities, including Sir Kyffin Williams, President Jimmy Carter and Sir George Martin.

But it is Gordon Stuart’s series of portraits of the poet Dylan Thomas that are considered his most famous legacy. Over three afternoons in the late-summer of 1953, Gordon painted Dylan Thomas at The Boathouse in Laugharne, where the poet lived with his wife Caitlin and their three children. They were the last pictures painted of Thomas who died a few weeks later, aged 39, after downing 18 whiskies at the White Horse Tavern in Greenwich Village, New York.

Although Stuart did portraits of many literary icons - among them writers as disparate as Kingsley Amis, Seamus Heaney, Beryl Bainbridge and Benjamin Zephaniah - he was inextricably linked throughout his career with the Dylan Thomas sessions, and was often asked about their time together. ‘‘Dylan didn’t laugh a lot,’’ said Stuart in an interview in 2010. ‘‘And when I asked him who was his favourite poet he replied “I don’t like bloody poets. I like poetry’.’’ During the sittings Dylan spoke often of the novelist George Eliot and quizzed Stuart about his favourite films. Thomas would afterwards ask Stuart to accompany him to his favourite pub, Brown’s Hotel, where his wake was held later that year. ‘‘He always invited me to have a drink with him, but I never accepted - I preferred a stroll,” said Stuart. ‘‘Dylan was a good subject and very kindly towards me and told me he was looking forward to going to America. It was an amazing shock for me to hear that he had died. I was very saddened.”

The State University of New York acquired one of the portraits of Thomas and a sketch went to the University of Texas. A 19 ½ x 15in painting of Thomas looking sleepy and ruddy became part of a portfolio of five Stuart originals held by the National Portrait Gallery in London.

The final portrait from the sessions became “like a child” to Stuart who kept it at the home in Swansea where he lived with Mair; they had no children. This ‘final’ portrait is Lot 283 in our Welsh Sale on April 17th. It is a great honour to offer it for sale without reserve within a section of Gordon Stuart works which have come from the beneficiaries of the Stuart estate.

RHAGFLAS: Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig am 11am 17eg Ebrill 2021 Casgliad Gordon Stuart Artist o Ganada wedi’i leoli ym Mhantygwydr, Abertawe am lawer o flynyddoedd oedd Gordon Thomas Stuart (1924-2015). Wedi’i eni yn Toronto, mynychodd Goleg Celf a Dylunio Ontaria. Ym 1952 symudodd Stuart i Abertawe, gan weithio fel darlithydd a chynghorydd tan iddo ymroi ei hun i beintio’n llawn amser ym 1985.

Pan gynhaliodd Abertawe’r flwyddyn lenyddiaeth ym 1995, daeth Stuart yn artist preswyl yng Nghanolfan Dylan Thomas a bu yn y rôl honno am 15 mlynedd. Peintiodd fwy na 200 o awduron, beirdd, ac enwogion, gan gynnwys Syr Kyffin Williams, yr Arlywydd Jimmy Carter a Syr George Martin.

Ond cyfres Gordon Thomas o bortreadau o’r bardd Dylan Thomas sy’n cael ei hystyried fel ei waddol enwocaf. Dros dri phrynhawn yn nyddiau olaf haf 1953, peintiodd Gordon, Dylan Thomas yn y Boathouse yn Nhalacharn, lle’r oedd y bardd yn byw gyda’i wraig Caitlin a’u tri o blant. Dyma’r lluniau olaf a beintiwyd o Thomas a fu farw rai wythnosau yn ddiweddarach, yn 39 oed, ar ôl yfed 18 wisgi yn Nhafarn y Ceffyl Gwyn yn Greenwich Village, Efrog Newydd.

Er y bu i Stuart wneud portreadau o sawl eicon llenyddol - yn eu plith awduron mor amrywiol â Kingsley Amis, Seamus Heaney, Beryl Bainbridge a Benjamin Zephaniah - roedd yn cael ei gysylltu’n anorfod drwy gydol ei yrfa â sesiynau Dylan Thomas, ac yn cael ei holi’n aml am eu hamser gyda’i gilydd.

“Nid oedd Dylan yn chwerthin llawer,” meddai Stuart mewn cyfweliad yn 2010. “A phan ofynnais iddo pwy oedd ei hoff fardd atebodd “Dydw i ddim yn hoffi beirdd, myn uffern i. Barddoniaeth dw i’n hoffi.”

Yn ystod y sesiynau, siaradai Dylan yn aml am y nofelydd George Eliot a holai Stuart am ei hoff ffilmiau. Yna byddai Thomas yn gofyn i Stuart fynd gydag ef i’w hoff dafarn, Gwesty’r Brown, lle cynhaliwyd ei wylnos yn ddiweddarach y flwyddyn honno. “Roedd bob amser yn gofyn i mi fynd am ddiod gydag ef, ond ni wnes i fyth dderbyn - roedd yn well gen i fynd am dro,” meddai Stuart. “Roedd Dylan yn oddrych da ac yn garedig iawn tuag ataf a dywedodd wrthyf ei fod yn edrych ymlaen at fynd i America. Roedd yn sioc enfawr i mi pan glywais ei fod wedi marw. Roeddwn yn drist iawn.”

Daeth Prifysgol Talaith Efrog Newydd i feddiant un o bortreadau Thomas ac aeth braslun i Brifysgol Tecsas. Daeth peintiad 19 ½ x 15in o Thomas yn edrych yn gysglyd a gwritgoch yn rhan o bortffolio o bum gwaith gwreiddiol Stuart gan yr Oriel Bortreadau Genedlaethol yn Llundain.

Daeth y portread olaf o’r sesiynau “fel plentyn” i Stuart ac fe’i cadwodd yn ei gartref yn Abertawe lle’r oedd yn byw gyda Mair; nid oedd ganddynt blant. Y portread olaf hwn yw Lot 283 yn ein Harwerthiant Cymreig ar yr 17eg o Ebrill.

Betty Evans Collection

Casgliad Betty Evans

We have been fortunate enough to sell many large collections of Welsh art in our Welsh Sales over the years. But it is not every day that these collections are complemented by first class British and Continental artist’s works.

Rydym wedi bod yn ddigon ffodus i werthu nifer o gasgliadau mawr o gelf Gymreig yn ein Harwerthiant Cymreig dros y blynyddoedd. Ond nid bob dydd y mae’r casgliadau hyn yn cynnwys gweithiau gan artist Prydeinig a Chyfandirol o’r radd flaenaf.

The Late Betty Evans of Cardiff was the former President of the Contemporary Art Society for Wales and it follows that there is an academic feel to the collection, which we are selling on behalf of Betty’s family. The Betty Evans Collection has bolstered the April Welsh Sale auction by some 38 lots but the collection also spills over into the Selections & Collections auction with another nine lots.

Roedd y diweddar Betty Evans o Gaerdydd yn gyn Lywydd Cymdeithas Celf Gyfoes Cymru a chan hynny mae ymdeimlad academaidd i’r casgliad, yr ydym yn ei werthu ar ran teulu Betty.

Mae Casgliad Betty Evans yn rhan fawr o Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Ebrill gyda 38 lot ond mae’r casgliad hefyd yn croesi i’r arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau gyda naw lot arall.

Betty’s interest in Art probably started when she was a Nurse in London, during the Blitz. After moving back to Wales, she could make it her focus, supporting the artists of 56 Grwp (set up in 1956 in Wales) and then with CASW, Contemporary Art Society for Wales, a charity started in 1938 to support Welsh art and artists. Betty was involved for many decades, as a Member, Secretary, Chairman and President. She regularly visited museums, art galleries and exhibitions in Wales, the United Kingdom, across Europe and beyond, especially the Venice Biennale. Betty also supported emerging Czech artists whilst the country was under Soviet rule.

Mae’n debyg bod diddordeb Betty mewn Celf wedi dechrau pan oedd hi’n Nyrs yn Llundain, yn ystod y Blitz. Ar ôl symud yn ôl i Gymru, gallai ganolbwyntio ar Gelf, gan gefnogi artistiaid 56 Grŵp (a sefydlwyd ym 1956 yng Nghymru) ac yna gyda CASW, Cymdeithas Gelf Gyfoes Cymru, elusen a sefydlwyd ym 1938 i gefnogi celf ac artistiaid o Gymru. Roedd Betty yn gysylltiedig gyda’r elusen am ddegawdau lawer, fel Aelod, Ysgrifennydd, Cadeirydd a Llywydd.

Bu’n ymweld yn rheolaidd ag amgueddfeydd, orielau celf ac arddangosfeydd yng Nghymru, y Deyrnas Unedig, ledled Ewrop a thu hwnt, ac yn arbennig Biennale Fenis. Roedd Betty hefyd yn cefnogi artistiaid Tsiec newydd tra bod y wlad o dan yr Undeb Sofietaidd.

Welsh Sale entries include works by Ceri Richards, Kevin Sinnott, Peter Prendergast, Will Roberts, Josef Herman and Jack Crabtree.

Ymhlith eitemau’r Arwerthiant Cymreig mae gweithiau gan Ceri Richards, Kevin Sinnott, Peter Prendergast, Will Roberts, Josef Herman a Jack Crabtree.

Casgliad Betty Evans

The non-Welsh entries spilling over into the Selections & Collections auction from the Betty Evans collection, include works

by Marc Chagall, Paul Nash, Scottie Wilson, Carlo Carra and Christopher Wood.

Ymhlith yr eitemau nad ydynt yn Gymreig sy’n croesi i’r arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau o gasgliad Betty Evans mae gweithiau gan Marc Chagall, Paul Nash, Scottie Wilson, Carlo Carra a Christopher Wood.

There is strong Welsh connection for John Christopher ‘Kit’ Wood (1901-1930) which is perhaps why Betty purchased his work.

Mae cysylltiad Cymreig cryf ar gyfer Christopher ‘Kit’ Wood (1901-1930), ac efallai mai dyma pam y prynodd Betty ei waith.

Born in Liverpool, Wood initially studied architecture and medicine before meeting our very own Augustus John in 1919/1920. It was John who persuaded Christopher Wood to become a painter.

Wood went on to train at Academie Julian in Paris, meeting Picasso, and Cocteau. He travelled before returning to Britain where he became friends with Ben Nicholson and became influenced by the St Ives movement. Wood died tragically young, jumping under a train at Salisbury Railway Station at the age of 30.

Wedi’i eni yn Lerpwl, bu i Wood astudio pensaernïaeth a meddygaeth cyn cyfarfod â’n Augustus John ni ym 1919/1920. John wnaeth berswadio Christopher Wood i ddod yn beintiwr. Aeth Wood ymlaen i hyfforddi yn Academie Julian ym Mharis, lle cyfarfu â Picasso a Cocteau. Teithiodd cyn dychwelyd i Brydain lle daeth yn ffrindiau gyda Ben Nicholson a chael ei ddylanwadu gan y mudiad St Ives. Bu farw Wood yn druenus o ifanc, pan neidiodd o flaen trên yng Ngorsaf Reilffordd Caersallog yn 30 oed.

The Birkett Rugby Union Archive

Archif Rygbi’r Undeb Birkett

One of the most rewarding facets of auctioneering is being entrusted with family heirlooms that tell a remarkable story, while being given the opportunity to expose such stories to the wider public. This often happens when we are privileged to auction a family’s military medals, but it also happens in a sporting context too.

Un o’r agweddau o arwerthu sy’n rhoi’r mwyaf o foddhad yw bod yn gyfrifol am drysorau teuluol sy’n adrodd stori drawiadol, wrth gael y cyfle i amlygu straeon o’r fath i’r cyhoedd ehangach. Mae hyn yn aml yn digwydd pan rydym yn cael y fraint o arwerthu medalau milwrol teulu, ond mae hefyd yn digwydd mewn cyd-destun chwaraeon hefyd.

The Birkett Family is one such remarkable story, and those of you who follow football and rugby may well be asking yourself how you did not know this story already.

Mae’r Teulu Birkett yn un stori drawiadol o’r fath, ac mae’n ddigon posibl y bydd y rheiny ohonoch sy’n dilyn pêl-droed a rygbi yn gofyn i chi’ch hunain sut nad oeddech yn gwybod am y stori hon yn barod.

We start with Reginald Halsey Birkett or Reg, who was born in 1849. Reg’s stature in Victorian sport is immense; he played for the famous Clapham Rovers sporting club, where he alternated between association football and rugby football. He played in the first International rugby match 150 years ago, in 1871, in which he scored the first ever try in an International rugby match. He was also a committee member of the first Rugby Football Union which commenced 150 years ago.

Rydym yn dechrau gyda Reginald Halsey Birkett neu Reg, a anwyd ym 1849. Mae statws Reg ym myd chwaraeon Oes Fictoria yn enfawr; chwaraeodd i glwb chwaraeon enwog Clapham Rovers, lle’r oedd yn chwarae pêl-droed a rygbi bob yn ail. Chwaraeodd yn y gêm rygbi ryngwladol gyntaf 150 mlynedd yn ôl, ym 1871, lle sgoriodd y cais cyntaf erioed mewn gêm rygbi ryngwladol. Roedd hefyd yn aelod pwyllgor yr Undeb Rygbi gyntaf a ddechreuodd 150 mlynedd yn ôl.

In association football the same Reg was in the side that scored the first goal in the history of the FA Cup in 1871. He played football in two back-to-back FA Cup finals in 1879 and 1880, winning the cup in 1880.

He also sat on the Football Association sub-committee that was created to lay down the rules for the FA Cup. And in the 1870s was a selector for the England football team.

Reg’s brother’s, Louis and Percival also played rugby and Louis played for England four times, twice in tandem with Reg. It is certainly a lot to take in! So, remembering that he scored the first try in the first International rugby match and winning the FA Cup is a good start!

John Guy Giberne Birkett was Reg’s son and born in 1884. He played rugby for England a record 21 times, including when they won the inaugural Five Nations Championship in 1910. Echoing the feat of his father, he was the first try scorer at Twickenham Stadium, while representing Harlequins against Richmond. John GG Birkett served on the RFU for more than a decade.

O ran pêl-droed, roedd yr un Reg yn rhan o’r tîm a sgoriodd y gôl gyntaf yn hanes Cwpan yr FA ym 1871. Chwaraeodd bêl-droed mewn dwy rownd derfynol olynol Cwpan yr FA ym 1879 a 1880, gan ennill y gwpan ym 1880.

Eisteddodd hefyd ar is-bwyllgor y Gymdeithas Bêl-droed a grëwyd i osod y rheolau ar gyfer Cwpan yr FA. Ac yn y 1870au cafodd ei ddewis i dîm pêl-droed Lloegr..

Roedd brodyr Reg, Louis a Percival hefyd yn chwarae rygbi a chwaraeodd Louis i Loegr bedair gwaith, dwywaith gyda Reg. Mae’n sicr yn llawer i’w ddirnad! Felly, mae cofio ei fod wedi sgorio’r cais cyntaf yn y gêm rygbi ryngwladol gyntaf ac ennill Cwpan yr FA yn ddechrau da!

John Guy Giberne Birkett oedd mab Reg a anwyd ym 1884.

Chwaraeodd rygbi i Loegr 21 gwaith, record ar y pryd, gan gynnwys pan enillasant Bencampwriaeth y Pum Gwlad agoriadol ym 1910. Gan efelychu ei dad, ef oedd y cyntaf i sgorio cais yn Stadiwm Twickenham, wrth gynrychioli Harlequins yn erbyn Richmond. Gwasanaethodd John GG Birkett ar yr Undeb Rygbi am fwy na degawd.

John’s son, also John - John Brian Birkett, played rugby for Harlequins, Headingly, and the Army. It was a true rugby dynasty.

Chwaraeodd mab John, a elwid hefyd yn John - John Brian Birkett, rygbi i Harlequins, Headingley, a’r Fyddin. Roedd yn llinach rygbi wirioneddol.

Lots 572 to 589 include an incredible pocketbook belonging to Victorian Reg Birkett which logged Clapham Rovers’ football and rugby season in 1870-1871 while he and his fellow players flitted from association to rugby rules while on the cusp of the commencement of the Rugby Football Union.

Mae lotiau 572 i 589 yn cynnwys llyfr poced anhygoel yn perthyn i Reg Birkett o Oes Fictoria a gofnododd tymor pêl-droed a rygbi Clapham Rovers ym 1870-1871 tra’r oedd ef a’i gyd-chwaraewyr yn symud yn ôl ac ymlaen rhwng rheolau pêl-droed a rygbi ar ddechrau sefydlu’r Undeb Rygbi.

There is also an England jersey from John Birkett and one of the most immaculate rugby caps from the Edwardian period, we have ever offered for sale. Between these superb artefacts is an astonishing array of detailed scrapbooks, ephemera and match-worn jerseys and caps which have never been seen before outside of the family.

Hefyd, mae crys Lloegr gan John Birkett ac un o’r capiau rygbi mwyaf taclus o’r cyfnod Edwardaidd rydym erioed wedi’i gynnig i’w werthu.

Rhwng yr arteffactau ysblennydd hyn mae casgliad gwefreiddiol o lyfrau sgrap manwl, effemera a chrysau a wisgwyd mewn gemau a chapiau nad ydynt erioed wedi cael eu gweld gan neb y tu allan i’r teulu o’r blaen.

The collection has been entered for sale by Reg’s great-great-grandsons, who have made an enormous decision to auction such historic items. One of the reasons they took the decision to sell, was that the artefacts and the stories within, were stored away, concealed to the public. They felt that it was time for the story of Reg, John GG Birkett and (John) Brian Birkett who formed an incredible sporting dynasty to be told.

10

Mae’r casgliad wedi cael ei gyflwyno ar gyfer yr arwerthiant gan or-orwyrion Reg, sydd wedi gwneud penderfyniad enfawr i arwerthu eitemau mor hanesyddol. Un o’r rhesymau dros eu penderfyniad i werthu, oedd y ffaith bod yr arteffactau a’r straeon wedi’u storio, o olwg y cyhoedd. Roeddent yn teimlo ei bod yn amser i stori Reg, John GG Birkett a (John) Brian Birkett a ffurfiodd linach chwaraeon anhygoel gael ei hadrodd.

In January we relaunched our website which comes with our own live bidding platform, Rogers Jones Live, which is free to use.

The new site comes with far greater functionality, particularly within the catalogue and bidding pages. For a rainy day, there is also plenty of reading material within the site in the form of articles written by our team.

In our December publication we announced the opening of our new office in The Old Vicarage, Carmarthen which is operated primarily by our West Wales based auctioneer Charles Hampshire.

Charles has been busy getting The Old Vicarage ready for clients and it really does look the part. The space will have many different purposes but primarily it acts as a valuation office for potential vendors in West Wales. It is ideal for this purpose with customer parking in a lovely parkland setting near to the main road-links. The Old Vicarage offers privacy and comfort for valuation appointments with Charles. Ben Rogers Jones can also be available for specialist valuations on Welsh items and Sporting items, while Philip Keith can be on hand for Asian fine arts and tribal antiques.

In March, the Colwyn Bay team were given instructions to empty the residual antique contents of the historic Bodelwyddan Castle (1). An eclectic mix of antique and later furniture was offered, the highlight being a sumptuous Rococostyle gilded console table with marble top which realised £55,000 (2).

SPOTLIGHT ON CHINESE BLUE & WHITE CERAMICS WITH PHILIP KEITH Blue and White

‘Chinamania” in Britain

We are delighted to be able to offer for sale in the Spring Selections & Collections auction a private collection of Qing dynasty blue and white porcelain and Delft pottery.

The Aesthetic movement emerged in the third quarter of the 19th Century in Britain amongst intellectuals and Philip Keith artists, who propounded the philosophy of ‘art for arts sake’ (to quote the rock band 10cc). Influential artists like Whistler and Rossetti eagerly collected ‘Nankin’ or ‘Old blue’ for its purity of colour and form.

Subsequently, the fashion for blue and white became established among the emerging middle classes to affirm their cultivated taste and decorate often dark Victorian interiors, to the extent that entire rooms were designed to accommodate entire collections (Peacock Room of shipping magnate F. R. Richards in Kensington, redesigned

by Whistler). Whistler and others were derided as suffering from ‘Chinamania’, and upon Whistler’s death, his collection numbered over 300 pieces (now in the Hungarian and V&A).

Chinese origins Blue and white is certainly the most well-known and enduring ceramic made in east Asia, where its origins can be traced to the Mongol rulers of the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368), when dishes, bowls and pouring vessels were processed following traditional central Asian metal forms. Cobalt mineral from the near east was discovered in several regions and imported into China. The process of production is technically skilled with the cobalt solution applied to the dry porcelain body after the first firing. At this stage, the paint is black.

After the coating in clear glaze, it is refined at a high temperature and the colour miraculously turns beautiful blue. The control of paint, glaze, temperature, and time are crucial to achieve the best results.

The town of Jingdezhen in southern China had been producing pottery since the 6th Century, and with the establishment of the Ming dynasty in 1368, the imperial household decreed that all its porcelain was to be made at twelve official kilns at Pearl Hill. Blue and white porcelain continued to be made at Jingdezhen to the present day.

Spring Sale The porcelain offered in this sale dates throughout the Qing Dynasty, form the late 17th Century to the early the 20th Century. For many collectors, the blue and white porcelain made during the reign of the Kangxi emperor is the finest of the Qing. Baluster vase (lot 485) is a classic example characterised by a clear, even, and bright sapphire blue tones executed like ink painting (fengshui), on an intense white clay body with a thin, clear, translucent glaze. Designs often include characters illustrating passages from epic poems, scholars in contemplation in dramatic landscapes, warriors in battle, as well as more familiar Ming revival floral designs. Soldier vase (lot 493) is a late Qing copy of the 5ft floor vases made for export to the west known as ‘Soldier’ or ‘Dragoon’ vases, after 600 cavalrymen were exchanged by the porcelain-obsessed collector Augustus the Strong of Saxony for 150 vases by Frederick the Great of Prussia in 1717.

Lot 485 12

Lot 493

Who’s copying Who? The Arita kilns in northwest Kyushu in Japan produced blue and white porcelain copying Chinese styles in the 17th Century, and when political turmoil in China made trade very difficult, the Dutch East India Company had a monopoly on trade with Japan, and started importing Arita blue and white to Holland in large quantities.

Two lots in the sale are rare examples of dishes made by late 17th Century Dutch Delft pottery companies copying these imported Japanese dishes, in turn copying Chinese ‘Kraak’ dishes made during the reign of the of the Wanli emperor (1573-1619).

Results Rogers Jones & Co. have enviable success in selling fine Chinese porcelain over the years and illustrated here is an example of one such lot.

This saucer dish measuring 35cm (13 ¾ in.) across, was sold in the Cardiff Saleroom in 2018 for £6000. It is painted with a mythical creature called a Qilin. They symbolise luck, good omens, protection, prosperity, success, and longevity; all attributes greatly admired by the Chinese. It is a chimera-like creature of various forms, and during the Qing Dynasty in particular is depicted with the head of a dragon, hooves of an ox, skin of a fish and tail of a lion. The background shows a landscape with rocks and banana palm beneath a moon, and was common on porcelains made during the so-called Transitional Period (1620-1683), the turbulent time at the end of the Ming and beginning of the Qing dynasty when government became increasingly corrupt and impotent. It bears a Hall mark rather than the more usual Reign mark, Yu Tang Jia Qi (Fine Vessel for the Jade Hall) and is associated with porcelain from the reign of the first Qing emperor, Shunzhi (1644-1661). Much of this Transitional porcelain was exported to Europe - bold in design, auspicious and old, these dishes are sought after by both Chinese and European collectors alike.

SYLW I GERAMEG GLAS A GWYN TSIEINEAIDD GYDA PHILIP KEITH Glas a Gwyn

Pwy sy’n copïo Pwy?

Pleser yw gallu cynnig casgliad preifat o borslen glas a gwyn llinach Qing a chrochenwaith Delft yn arwerthiant Dewisiadau a Chasgliadau’r Gwanwyn.

Roedd yr odynau Arita yng ngogledd-orllewin Kyushu yn Japan yn cynhyrchu porslen glas a gwyn gan gopïo arddulliau Tsieineaidd yn yr 17eg Ganrif, a phan effeithiodd yr helynt gwleidyddol ar fasnachu, roedd gan y Dutch East India Company fonopoli ar fasnach gyda Japan, a dechreuodd fewnforio glas a gwyn Arita i’r Iseldiroedd mewn symiau mawr. Mae dwy lot yn yr arwerthiant yn enghreifftiau prin o’r llestri a wnaed gan y cwmnïau crochenwaith Delft Iseldiraidd ar ddiwedd yr 17eg Ganrif wrth gopïo’r llestri Japaneaidd hyn a fewnforiwyd, a chan hynny, wrth gopïo’r llestri ‘Kraak’ Tsieineaidd a wnaed yn ystod teyrnasiad yr ymerawdwr Wanli (1573-1619).

Tarddiad Tsieineaidd Glas a gwyn yw’r cerameg mwyaf enwog ac oesol a wnaed yn nwyrain Asia, lle gellir olrhain ei darddiad i reolwyr Mongolaidd llinach Yuan (1279-1368), pan broseswyd llestri, powlenni a basnau arllwys yn dilyn ffurfiau metel traddodiadol o ganolbarth Asia.

Darganfuwyd mwyn cobalt o’r Dwyrain Canol mewn sawl rhanbarth a’i fewnforio i Tsieina. Mae’r broses gynhyrchu yn dechnegol iawn gyda’r toddiant cobalt yn cael ei roi ar y corff porslen sych ar ôl y tanio cyntaf. Ar y pwynt yma, mae’r paent yn ddu. Ar ôl ei orchuddio mewn farnais clir, mae’n cael ei buro ar dymheredd uchel ac mae’r lliw, drwy wyrth, yn troi’n las prydferth. Mae rheoli paent, farnais, tymheredd ac amser yn hanfodol i gyflawni’r canlyniadau gorau. Roedd tref Jingdezhen yn ne Tsieina wedi bod yn cynhyrchu crochenwaith ers y 6ed Ganrif, ac ar ôl sefydlu llinach Ming yn 1368, gorchmynnodd y tylwyth ymerodrol fod ei holl borslen yn cael ei gynhyrchu mewn deuddeg odyn swyddogol yn Pearl Hill. Mae porslen glas a gwyn yn parhau i gael ei gynhyrchu yn Jingdezhen hyd heddiw.

Arwerthiant y Gwanwyn Mae’r porslen ar werth yn yr arwerthiant hwn yn dyddio’n ôl i Linach Qing, drwy gydol ei rheolaeth, o ddiwedd yr 17eg Ganrif i ddechrau’r 20fed Ganrif. I nifer o gasglwyr, y porslen glas a gwyn a wnaed yn ystod teyrnasiad yr ymerawdwr Kangxi yw’r gwychaf o’r Qing. Mae fâs ‘Baluster’ (lot 485), yn enghraifft glasurol a nodweddir gan arlliwiau saffir glas llachar, cyson, clir wedi’u paentio fel peintiad inc (fengshui), ar gorff clai gwyn dwys gyda farnais tryloyw, clir, tenau. Mae dyluniadau yn aml yn cynnwys cymeriadau yn darlunio darnau o gerddi epig, ysgolheigion yn myfyrio mewn tirweddau dramatig, milwyr mewn brwydr, yn ogystal â darluniadau blodeuog adfywiol mwy cyfarwydd Ming. Mae fâs ‘Soldier’ (lot 493) yn gopi Qing hwyr o’r fasys llawr 5 troedfedd a wnaed i’w hallforio i’r gorllewin a elwir yn fasys ‘Soldier’ neu ‘Dragoon’, ar ôl i’r casglwr porslen brwd Augustus y Cryf o Sacsoni gyfnewid 600 o farchfilwyr am 150 o fasau gan Frederick y Mawr o Brwsia yn 1717.

Canlyniadau Mae Rogers Jones & Co. wedi bod yn llwyddiannus iawn yn gwerthu porslen Tsieineaidd dros y blynyddoedd ac yma ceir un enghraifft o lot o’r fath.

Gwerthwyd y soser hon yn mesur 35cm (13 ¾ modfedd) ar draws, yn Ystafell Arwerthu Caerdydd yn 2018 am £6000. Wedi paentio arni mae creadur mytholegol a elwir yn Qilin. Maent yn symboleiddio lwc, argoelion da, amddiffyn, llewyrch, llwyddiant, a hirhoedledd; pob un yn rhinweddau a edmygir yn fawr gan y Tsieineaid. Mae’n greadur tebyg i fwystfil o sawl ffurf, ac yn ystod Llinach Qing yn benodol caiff ei ddarlunio gyda phen draig, carnau ych, croen pysgodyn a chynffon llew. Dengys y cefndir dirwedd gyda chreigiau a choeden fanana o dan y lleuad, ac roedd hyn yn gyffredin ar borslen a wnaed yn ystod y Cyfnod Pontio fel y’i gelwid (1620-1683), yr amser cythryblus ar ddiwedd llinach Ming a dechrau llinach Qing pan ddaeth y llywodraeth yn gynyddol lygredig a di-rym. Mae ganddi ddilysnod yn hytrach na nod arferol y Deyrnas, Yu Tang Jia Qi (Fine Vessel for the Jade Hall) ac fe’i cysylltir â phorslen o deyrnasiad yr ymerawdwr Qing cyntaf, Shunzhi (1644-1661). Allforiwyd llawer o’r porslen hwn o’r cyfnod Pontio i Ewrop - yn ddyluniadau beiddgar, gobeithiol a hen, mae galw mawr am y llestri hyn gan gasglwyr Tsieineaidd ac Ewropeaidd fel ei gilydd.

Obsesiwn Tsieineaidd ym Mhrydain Amlygodd y mudiad Esthetig yn nhrydydd chwarter y 19eg Ganrif ym Mhrydain ymhlith deallusion ac artistiaid, a oedd yn pledio’r athroniaeth ‘celfyddyd er mwyn celfyddyd’ (i ddyfynnu’r band roc 10cc). Casglodd artistiaid dylanwadol fel Whistler a Rossetti, ‘Nankin’ neu ‘Old blue’ yn eiddgar am ei burder lliw a ffurf. O ganlyniad, sefydlodd y ffasiwn am las a gwyn ymhlith y dosbarthiadau canol newydd i gadarnhau eu chwaeth ddiwylliedig ac i addurno ystafelloedd Fictoraidd tywyll, i’r fath raddau hyd nes y byddai ystafelloedd cyfan wedi’u dylunio i ddal casgliadau cyfan (Ystafell Peacock y meistr llongau F. R. Richards yn Kensington, wedi’i hailddylunio gan Whistler). Gwawdiwyd Whistler ac eraill am ddioddef ‘Obsesiwn Tsieineaidd’, ac ar farwolaeth Whistler, roedd ei gasgliad yn cynnwys dros 300 o ddarnau (sydd bellach yn Amgueddfa Hunterian, Glasgow ac Amgueddfa Victoria ac Albert).

COMMISSION BIDDING

TELEPHONE BIDDING

About: commission bids are when you leave us your highest price to bid on your behalf. We will bid up to your price(s) and you will win items if another bidder drops out before your maximum price. If there is no other bidder then you may win the item at the bottom estimate / reserve.

About: we phone you a few minutes prior to the lot you have booked a phone line on. Our operator will communicate the price and ask whether you want to bid.

Commission bids must be received by 4pm April 16th. We are not answering the phones on auction day!

How: this can be done on our website by clicking on the lot(s) you are interested in and then clicking ‘REGISTER / LOG IN TO BID’.

Or you can complete a copy of the bidding form at the back of this catalogue and send a clear image of the form to us by email.

Tips: there is little point in bidding below the bottom of the auction estimate and enter as high as you can so as not to regret missing out. It is always a good chance you may win the item at a smaller price.

A native of Rhymney, he became a prominent civil servant, administrator and author who was Deputy Secretary to the cabinet from 1916 until 1930. He was an Independent Labour Party member and a member of the Fabian Society and he devoted much time to an intensive study of the problems of poverty, living and working at social settlements at Glasgow and Cardiff.

During the severe inter-war depression in the South Wales coalfields he was closely associated with voluntary efforts to alleviate the worst ravages of the downturn in trade and industry.

227 LAURENCE STEPHEN LOWRY (1887-1976) pencil on napkin tissue - The Old Hand Ball Court, Nelson, Glamorgan, signed and dated 6 Nov 1961, 16 x 15.2cms Provenance: Percy Warburton; gifted to an anonymous Bury family; private collection, Midlands Auctioneer’s Note: Warburton was a fellow student with Lowry at the Bury Art College, and frequented Warburton’s home in the Holcombe Brook area of the city. Lowry undertook several trips to the villages in the valleys of south Wales in the 1960s with his friend and collector Monty Bloom, reigniting his interest in industrial landscape for a time, resulting in major works such as ‘Bargoed’ (1965) and ‘Hillside in Wales’ (1962). This sketch was executed at this seminal time, probably whist seated in a Nelson cafe. Handball was a popular sport amongst the working men of the south Wales valleys, leading to local rivalries and betting opportunities. The sketch depicts the three-sided court with squared quoins in the grounds of The Nelson Inn, thought to have been built in around 1860 (for further details see Aldo Bacchetta & Glyn Rudd, ‘Porth and Rhondda Fach’, pp.22-23: The Most Famous Handball Court in South Wales; and www.coflein.gov.uk/en/site/32811/). Although worked in broad soft pencil on delicate tissue, we can identify the characters of the five figures In the centre and foreground. From left to right, the wife and/or mother with hat and tightly wrapped shawl, the old man bent over with his cane, the working man hurrying along, the top-hatted man with hands on hips looking into the vacant court and the portly gentleman waiting on the street corner with his(?) dog. Lowry shows his uncompromising nature by scribbling out a building on the left, perhaps dissatisfied with the balance of the composition. Overall, an unusual and charming local south Wales view by a giant of modern British art Presentation & Condition: paper slightly browned, framed, ready to hang £8000-12000*

The Welsh Sale • Rogers Jones & Co 283 GORDON STUART oil on canvas - head and shoulders portrait of poet Dylan Thomas in side-profile, label verso entitled ‘Portrait of Dylan’, signed and dated 1953, 44 x 34cms Provenance: estate of the late Mair Stuart, widow of the artist, label verso inscribed ‘Exhibited National Eisteddfod Ystradgynlais 1954’ Auctioneer’s Note: the portrait was painted by Canadian artist, Gordon Stuart (1924-2015) when Thomas sat for him for three afternoons, near the poet’s home in Laugharne, in September 1953.

After each portrait sitting, Dylan Thomas would head straight for his favourite drinking haunt at Brown’s Hotel in the village

Gordon Stuart recalled that Thomas, ‘…was a good subject and very kindly towards me and told me he was looking forward to going to America’ But in America, on the poet’s fourth US tour, Dylan Thomas suffered a severe chest infection and bouts of heavy drinking left him in a coma. He tragically died on November 9th 1953, at the age of just 39, it was just two months after the portrait sittings.’It was an amazing shock for me to hear that he had died in New York. I was very saddened’, said Gordon Stuart. The artist painted three portraits of Thomas. One example is at The National Portrait Gallery and the other at The University of Texas.

This, the first painting of the series, was kept by the artist, and then by his widow. The painting was exhibited at the National Eisteddfod in 1954, and then for the first time to the public fifty years later, at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive, Swansea - during the Dylan Thomas centenary celebrations Gordon Stuart was a Swansea based artist. Born in Toronto, Canada in 1924 and attended the Ontario College of Art before moving to UK and studying at St Martin’s, London, and the University of London. He spent many years as a lecturer and art adviser until 1985, when he decided to dedicate his time fully to painting from his home in Swansea. He won a number of awards and prizes for his landscapes and portraits.

His other well known portrait sitters included President Jimmy Carter, fellow Welsh artist Sir Kyffin Williams, former rugby international Cliff Morgan and The Beatles producer Sir George Martin.

He also painted Dylan Thomas’ daughter Aeronwy Thomas Presentation & Condition: no problems, framed and glazed £10000-15000*

The experience of visiting Mametz wood inspiring the artist’s masterpiece ‘The Welsh Division at Mametz Wood, 1916’ which is now in the ownership of the National Museum of Wales, it was commissioned by David Lloyd George and originally hung in Downing Street. Lloyd George was something of a patron of Christopher Williams and the artist painted three different portraits of the Welsh Statesman and his father

358

Williams’ war experiences affected him deeply and according to the recollections of his friend Arthur H Thomas, ‘Christie’s vehement denunciation of man’s inhumanity remain with me still’ (‘Christopher Williams: An Account of his Life and Appreciation of his Work’ by Jeremiah Williams, Delyn Press, 1955). It is no surprise that the artist sought out a mother of a soldier as a portrait sitter. One can see in the expression of the lady, someone who is sorrowful but also that of someone who may be sharing the artist’s despair at the ‘juggernaut trampling of the soul of man’ and asking ‘why’. The subject matter brings the questions around the futility of war to a personal level, creating a powerful connection between artist and the sitter David Lloyd George considered Williams as the most gifted artist Wales had produced Presentation & Condition: has been later cleaned and reframed, no notable problems other than light surface scratch and small losses on edge near frame £1500-2000*

It was painted in about 1954. I’d gone there foolishly to ask a girl to marry me. Luckily my efforts were thwarted, and ever since I’ve realised how fortunate I was. She was a monumental snob and her father told her that I was financially and socially ineligible. He was an old fool but I’m grateful to him for those comments. I hope you enjoy the picture, and that you didn’t have to pay too much for it...’. The letter was a reply to the former owner’s request to Sir Kyffin for further information about the painting, the letter would have been dictated as at the time Sir Kyffin was suffering of ill-health, he died in 2006 Presentation & Condition: no problems, later framed £15000-20000* 379 No lot

Non-European Antiques & Fine Art – Lots 469-495 469 JOHN NDEVASIA MUAFANGEJO (Namibian, 1943-1987) limited edition (28/150) linocut - Evangelical Lutheran Church Womens Meeting (Umhlangano Wabasizikasi), signed, numbered and dated 1974 in pencil (I) 21.5 x 55cms Provenance: Barry Levinson (Movie Producer/ Filmmaker) collection. This and the following four lots were acquired by Barry Levinson when filming in South Africa directly from the artist with whom he came friends Auctioneer’s Note: John Muafangejo was considered the most important visual artist of his country. His linocuts are powerful depictions of people and events, expressed in black and white imagery, condensing the colourful landscapes and animal images of Namibia’s artists of European origin. He often combines text with images, and his images contain references to the history and culture of his own people, the Ovambo. He did not live to see the independence of Namibia, but the violent struggle for it formed the background for his art. Muafangejo’s output contains only about 260 different prints.

The Namibian Arts Association in Windhoek has a large collection of his works in their Permanent Collection

Rogers Jones & Co • Selections & Collections 479 POLISHED COCO DE MER SEED (Lodoicea maldivica), of typical form, 24cms high Provenance: private collection, consigned via our Carmarthen office

479

Auctioneer’s Note: The coco de mer is a palm found only in the islands of Praslin and Curieuse in the Seychelles. The fruit requires arounf seven years to mature and a further two years to germinate.

Originally believed to have been a sea-bean or drift seed (a seed designed to be dispersed by the sea) it is now known that the nut is too heavy to float, and that only rotten nuts can be found on the sea surface: this explains why the trees are limited in range to just two islands. Until the true source of the nut was discovered in 1768, many believed that it grew on a mythical tree at the bottom of the sea. In the 16th century, the European aristocracy decorated their coco de mers with precious jewels, and treasured them in “cabinets of curiosities”. The sailors who first saw the nut floating in the sea imagined that they resembled a woman’s buttocks, leading to the plant’s archaic botanical name, “Lodoicea callipyge”; “callipyge” meaning “beautiful rump” in Greek

H Q Ravine at 3pm’, signed fully in ink and dated 1917, 29 x 44.5cms Provenance: private collection, London Auctioneer’s Note: at the outbreak of World War I, Maze returned to France from Canada and attempted to join the French army but was deemed unfit.

Determined to serve, Maze made his way to Le Havre and offered his services to the British and became an interpreter with the British cavalry regiment the Scots Greys. During the retreat from Mons, Maze became separated from the Royal Scots and narrowly avoided being captured by the Germans but was taken prisoner by a British unit. Maze’s position with the Royal Scots Greys was unofficial and his lack of documentation and his odd uniform led the British to think he was a spy. Maze was summarily sentenced to death. On his way to face the firing squad, Maze was recognised by an officer from the Royal Scots Greys who happened to be passing and who quickly secured his release. Maze then joined the staff of General Hubert Gough, initially as a liaison officer and interpreter but increasing as a military draughtsman undertaking reconnaissance work. Maze would go to advanced positions, often forward of the British trenches, to produce accurate drawings of enemy positions and other military objectives. The work was very dangerous and Maze was wounded three times in four years. He was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal and Military Medal by the British, and the Croix de Guerre by the French. His book, A Frenchman in Khaki (1934), detailed his experiences of the action that he saw on the Western Front. Churchill wrote the foreword to his book Presentation & Condition: no problems, framed and glazed £300-400*

Rugby Union Antiques including the Birkett Family Archive – Lot 572-598 572 AN IMPORTANT POCKET JOURNAL FROM 1870/71 RELATING TO CLAPHAM ROVERS, THE HISTORIC LONDON SPORTS CLUB, WITH HANDWRITTEN ENTRIES BY THE REMARKABLE REG BIRKETT (1849-1898) Birkett was one of only three sportsmen to represent England at Association Football and Rugby Union.

He was also an FA Cup Winner, scorer of the first International Rugby Union try and a Committee Member of the inaugural Rugby Union In the journal, Reg Birkett documents matches played in the season 1870/1871 by the famous Clapham Rovers club, revealing the somewhat chaotic nature of Victorian sport as a pool of players juggle between football played in the Rugby school tradition and Association football. The 1870/71 season was crucial to the future of both sports, rugby union especially The journal with black leather hardcover and lined paper, 15.5 x 10.5cms. is in excellent condition considering the age. All entries are in handwritten ink, except newspaper cuttings reporting on matches neatly stuck in. To accompany the journal is a facsimile copy of the Rugby Football Union First General Meeting, 1871 Clapham Cricket Club Journal Content: The first page within the journal inscribed ‘Clapham Cricket Club Matches, 1867’ and the following 20 or so pages are represented by an opposing cricket club to be played against that season by Clapham, together with their selected or available players for the fixture, and with location of venue From page 24-34 these fixtures are repeated in much the same way, except with comments as to the outcome of the match eg. Clapham won by innings and # runs…. There also some changes to the previously selected players. We do not believe this part of the journal involved Reg Birkett Clapham Rovers Journal Content: The entries relating to Clapham Rovers begin on page 38, which read as follows; ‘Clapham Rovers / foot-ball club / Captain – R H Birkett / Committee – A Nash, J Field, A W French, E Field, E C Lygath (?), W R Bryden, A Luzzer (?) / Secretary & Treasurer W E Rawlinson / Season 1870-71’ The next pages with entries, lists the ‘Addresses of secretaries not on the foot-ball association’ with addresses for the following representatives / Sydenham – R W Abbott / Hornsey – E N Alfie (?) / Lausanne – F H Moore (?) / Mohicans – Geo Ellis (?) / Harlequins – E Ellice Clark /Brighton - Walter Foster (?) /Barnes – Walter Powell’ The next entries are ‘Members Playing Rugby Rules’ with R, P & L (Reg, Percival and Louis) Birkett at the top of this list

572 with Reg Birkett at top of this page suggesting he would be the first on the team-sheet if all players were available Evidently Reg, on been given the responsibility of club-captain receives the journal and the remaining pages are handwritten by the 21-year-old. In each page Reg has included a match fixture, the venue, Rovers’ selected players, and the outcome of the match with comments, usually together with a cut-out newspaper report on each match. The matches are divided between matches played using ‘rugby’ rules and matches played using ‘association rules’ In all there were 42 fixtures entered into the book with 22 for the Rugby fashion and the remainder for Association code. Note that some of these entries were not played. Reg Birkett was in the team for 27 matches, mostly as captain (top of the team-list). Many of the Clapham Rovers played against were inaugural members of the first Rugby Union, namely Richmond, Gipsies, Harlequins, Ravenscourt Park, Lausanne, Civil Service, Marlborough Nomads and Mohicans

that thirteen matches were called off – the winter of 1870/1871 was very cold and so ten were called off because of weather, usually noted as ‘hard frost’. Two other fixtures were called off because one of the sides could not raise the necessary playing numbers. While on February 18th with resonance to present times, a clash against Wimbledon was called off, a few days before ‘on account of vaccination’. This is likely to relate to the compulsory smallpox vaccination of the time Remainder of pocket-book blank except note of an address in 5 Doughty Street, Mecklenburgh Square (Bloomsbury) and Seymour St (Marble Arch) Auctioneer’s Note: The 1870 / 71 season was a critical season for the future of ‘foot-ball’ and especially football played in the Rugby School tradition Rugby up until 1871 had been played to a variety of rules. But in 1870 Edwin H Ash, secretary of the Richmond Football Club wrote a letter to the newspapers stating, ‘those who play the Rugby-type game should meet to form a code of practice, as various clubs play to rules which differ from others, which makes the game difficult to play.’

The next entry reads ‘A good Association team to play against first rate club like Charterhouse & Wanderers’

There is evidence of the difficulties and frustrations of acting as club captain during this period, with many of the fixture dates having the two codes played on the same afternoon. Adding to Reg’s problems would have been the fact

Then following this is a list of ‘Association Rules’ with R & P Birkett as the second entries on the list

Consequently, 32 members of London and suburban football clubs gathered on the evening of 26th January, 1871, in the Pall

Rogers Jones & Co • Selections & Collections Mall Restaurant, Haymarket, London, ‘to codify the rules of the game and to provide a central governing body.’ It was at this meeting, presided over by Edward Carleton Holmes (the captain of Richmond Football Club) that the Rugby Football Union was founded W E Rowlison was at the Pall Mall meeting, as representative of his Clapham Rovers club, who enrolled to the new union together with 20 other member clubs (comprising Addison, Belsize Park, Blackheath, Civil Service, Flamingoes, Gipsies, Guy’s Hospital, Harlequins, King’s College Hospital, Lausanne, Law, Marlborough Nomads, Mohicans, Queen’s House, Ravenscourt Park, Richmond, St Paul’s School, Wellington College, West Kent, and Wimbledon Hornets) The meeting was held halfway through Reg’s journal, so it is not inconceivable that the pocket-journal was present in Reg’s breast pocket as the Rugby Union was formed Each club paid a membership fee and byelaws were drafted, a secretary and a president were elected together with a committee of thirteen gentlemen.

Reg Birkett was nominated as one of those committee members, and then just two months later in March 1871, Reg Birkett was playing in the world’s first International Rugby match between England and Scotland at Raeburn Place in Edinburgh - in which he scored the first ever Rugby International try. It was one of four International rugby matches that Reg played in The 1870 /1871 foot-ball season also saw the first three international matches according to Association rules, played at the Oval, London. It was therefore a seminal year for Victorian sport – while Birkett completed his journal, the Rugby Union was being born, the sport was formalised, and International matches of association foot-ball and Rugby commenced their 150 year history Reginald Halsey Birkett Reg was born in 1849, London, he was the son of a surgeon and brother to Percival, Evelyn, Arthus and Louis. Percival and Louis were also players at Clapham Rovers and are in many of the team selections noted in the journal. Louis also played rugby for England. Reg was educated at William Jacob’s School in Calne and then Lancing College where he learned both foot-ball codes. His switching between the two codes continued at Lancing Old Boys and as documented in the pocket-journal at Clapham Rovers. He also represented Surrey FC

Six years after scoring the first ever try in the first ever Rugby International, Reg Birkett was playing as goalkeeper for Clapham in the 8th FA Cup Final Round against Old Etonians at Kennington Oval (1879), which Clapham lost. A year later in 1880, Clapham Rovers were FA Cup Winners with Reg again ‘between the sticks’, as they beat Oxford University AFC, 1-0. Reg Birkett was now an FA Cup Winner The studiousness and comprehensive nature of Reg’s journal entries, enhanced by neatly cut-out newspaper reports, reveal a great deal about Reg’s character and skills. Evidently, he was very committed to the Rovers Club and to both codes of football, perhaps in the knowledge that there could be exciting times ahead, as both sports were maturing in this age of dramatic change. The pocket journal tells us of his stature as a sportsman but also his extraordinary skills as an administrator Tragically Reg died at the young age of 49, when, suffering from diphtheria he leapt from a window of his Wimbledon home, while being helped into his bed, he fell 20 feet to his death. At the inquest, a verdict of suicide whilst delirious was returned Reg Birkett left his mark on both sports as a player and administrator. He scored the first try in the first rugby international. He was an FA Cup winner and International association player. He was a committee member of the inaugural Rugby Union. He became a Rugby Union auditor, he was also appointed onto the Football Association’s special sub-committee to draw up the rules for the FA Cup competition, later becoming an England selector for Association. He was one of only three players to represent England in rugby and football Reg was instrumental in moulding the two sports which today are played across the world, giving millions of people pleasure and generating billions in the sporting economy This unique pocket-journal represents the trail-blazer Reg’s early skills as a sportsman as well as his skills as an administrator.

But perhaps more importantly, it also represents the last days of a confusing colliding relationship between two of our national sports before their eternal separation into the two sports to which we are familiar Provenance: the vendors of the Birkett Sporting Archive are the great-great grandsons of Reg Birkett and the great-grandsons of John Birkett (1884-1967), Reg’s son £4000-6000* 572 157

574 AN IMPORTANT & IMMACULATE ENGLAND RUGBY UNION CAP AWARDED TO JOHN GUY GILBERNE BIRKETT (1884-1967) embroidered with references to every one of his record 21 England International appearances between 1906 and 1912 The peaked cap is in stunning condition considering the age. With the maroon colour of the felt as fresh as it was when awarded to John Birkett. Braiding, embroidery, and tassel equally in awesome condition. There are tears to silk lining as is usual with antique caps, but tears are not extensive The six-panel cap with two-leaf wirework England Rose emblem to front segment below F (France) 07-08, then the peak with 1905 S-1906 representing his first cap against Scotland, and then each of the five further panels embroidered with letters to represent International opposition and the season eg. W.I.S 11-12 (Wales / Ireland / Scotland in 1911 and 1912) John Birkett was the son of Reg Birkett (please see Lots 572 & 573) The 21 fixtures accounted for on the cap represent every one of J G Birkett’s total England International cap count, between 1906 and 1912, which was a record for England caps at the time During this period, Rugby was starting to become more akin to the sport we are familiar with thanks to the inventive All Blacks ‘Originals’ on their inaugural tour of Europe, and with a great deal of thanks to John Birkett’s Harlequin team-mate - Adrian Stoop Stoop saw the advantage of quick back play and releasing the wings as early as possible. Birkett was initially a half-back but when he arrived at Harlequins RFC, Adrian Stoop occupied one of the half-back positions and he saw Birkett as having the ideal skills and build to fulfil his vision of quick back play. Birkett had the natural ability to move the ball wide while being strong enough to withstand the pressure from oncoming defenders. So thanks to the foresight of Adrian Stoop, John Birkett became a legendary Harlequins and England centre, and played in the position for the remainder of his career

158

John Birkett’s England caps began in 1906 against Scotland, after England had suffered a seven match losing run. He played alongside his Harlequin partner Stoop, and the Quin’s Stoop-style of play paid dividends as they won the tie with tries scored on both wings. Five days later the partnership featured against France in Paris in what was the first International between the two countries By the 1908 season John Birkett had established himself in the England side, and captained the side against Wales for the first of four occasions. He played in each of the inaugural Five Nations Championship matches in 1910, which England won. Birkett scored twice against Scotland

By John Birkett’s final match against France in 1912, he was England’s record cap holder and record try scorer with ten tries.

He continued playing with Harlequins and when in October 1909, the club side adopted Twickenham as their new home, John Birkett scored the first ever try at the ‘Home of English Rugby’ This feat echoed that of his father Reg, who scored the first ever International try In World War I, John Birkett was captain in the Royal Field Artillery and was mentioned in dispatches 18 times. Later he was a committee member of the RFU for 12 years Considering the sensational condition, provenance, and player history, together with the embroidered complete reference to each of John Birkett’s record England appearances, we believe the cap to be the most prestigious pre-war Rugby Union cap ever to be offered at auction Provenance: the vendors of the Birkett Sporting Archive are the great-grandsons of J G G Birkett (1884-1967), and the great-great-grandsons of Reg Birkett £3000-5000*

575 ENGLAND INTERNATIONAL RUGBY UNION JERSEY WORN BY JOHN GUY GILBERNE BIRKETT (1884-1967) believed be his ‘International career jersey’ and worn on the Harlequins player’s England debut, versus Scotland in the Calcutta Cup match of 1906 The jersey in traditional all white with fine cotton collars and with felt rectangular patch stitched to chest having a finely embroidered red, maroon, and pink English rose with two tone green and brown stems with five leaves. The sleeves are in the three-quarter length style for the England team during that period, two original buttons remain intact and there is a stitched name label to the inside of collar ‘JOHN BIRKETT’ As with the John Birkett’s England cap (Lot 574) the jersey is in super condition without notable damage Please see Lot 574 John Birkett’s associated England cap in this auction with regards to John Birkett’s playing career, records, and achievements which include being the top try scorer and most England caps gained, the first try scorer at Twickenham and winner of the inaugural 5 Nations Championship in 1910 In this early period of International Rugby Union, players were expected to retain their jerseys for matches, even after players returned to International duty from a 4–5-year hiatus of military duty in World War 1. The English Rose badges at the time were individually embroidered for each player with differences in detail. Lot 578 in this auction is an album containing John Birkett’s England team photographs. In his debut photograph in 1906 against Scotland, one can see through a magnifying glass that the different tones of black and grey on the stem and leaves match the emblem on the jersey, proportions seem to be correct as does the angle of the stem and rose. John Birkett did play in other jerseys which can be seen in the team photographs, but we believe this to be his debut jersey and used on several England appearances. Copy of the 1906 photograph shown with this description but is not part of this lot Auctioneer’s Note: Making his debut with Birkett in 1906 versus Scotland was James ‘Jimmy’ Peters who was the first black rugby player to represent England, and the only black player until 1988.

Also playing for England was Belgian John Raphael, part of a millionaire banking family, who also played first class cricket and was killed in his home-country in 1917 during the Battle of Messines.

While Adrian Stoop, the legendary Harlequins whom which their ground ‘The Stoop’ is named after played at half-back. The captain was V H Cartwright who was president of the RFU in 1928/29. In the Scottish line-up was Kenneth Grant McLeod, who was inducted into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame for his all-round sporting ability, winning 9 caps for Scotland while also playing for Manchester City FC, cricket for Lancashire and was a successful golfer too. Also in the Scottish team was British Lions captain David Bedell-Sivright who was killed during the Gallipoli campaign The match was played at Inverleith, Edinburgh on the 17th March, 1906, watched by some 20,000 spectators. Against expectations, after a terrible losing streak of six matches, England were the victors 9 points to 3 (3 tries to one). The victory was despite England’s forward Simpson not completing the match due to injury sustained in scoring the winning try. Newspapers including ‘The Referee’ commended the English Selection Committee and bringing in John Birkett for his debut, while The Daily Mail wrote ‘Birkett, the young Harlequins centre, whose claims to international honours have been advocated throughout the season, showed himself to be possessed of rare judgment and a considerable amount of pace; he had a hand in the obtaining of all the three tries scored by his side’. The reports of Birkett’s debut being a glorious success continued in The Morning Post, The Field and other newspapers Provenance: the vendors of the Birkett Sporting Archive are the great-grandsons of J G G Birkett (1884-1967), and the great-great-grandsons of Reg Birkett £12000-18000*

576 A SPARE ENGLAND INTERNATIONAL RUGBY UNION JERSEY BADGE CIRCA 1908 with embroidered English rose from the archive John Guy Gilberne Birkett (1884-1967) of rectangular form, 13 x 11cms and with fine cotton embroidery in seven colours.

Superb condition. On the reverse there appears to be a faded red stamp with a broad-arrow and a number ‘2’ with script in a banner below within an impressed outline of a heart. We are unsure of the purpose of this ‘spare’ rose and have discussed various theories such as whether the broad-arrow on the back has military connotations or whether the heart may have a connection with the heart-shaped design on his Colvin-House School rugby jersey. Or whether simply it was sent to John as a replacement or spare badge from the RFU. We do know that during the first part of the twentieth century England badges were sent to players to stitch on themselves.

However, this badge does not appear to have been stitched to a jersey. Regardless, it is a rare and splendid object, and the embroidery is of high quality Provenance: the vendors of the Birkett Sporting Archive are the great-grandsons of J G G Birkett (1884-1967), and the great-great-grandsons of Reg Birkett £300-400*

In 1947 he replaced Trevor Allen in the Sydney 1st XV and promptly earned selection for NSW, then earned his first cap in the Bledisloe Cup Test versus New Zealand in Brisbane that year His performances earned him a spot on the 1947-48 tour of Britain and France where he played 21 tour matches as well as the Tests against England and France. He scored a dazzling try against England which thrilled the crowd and ended up in diagrams in match programmes and books for years to come. He was the top try-scorer on that tour with 19 tries. He played the two Tests against the visiting British Lions in 1950 from which this jersey originates, before concentrating his efforts on becoming a cricketer.

597 597 1905-1907 WALES INTERNATIONAL RUGBY UNION JERSEY WORN BY RHYS GABE (1880-1967) HAVING BEEN SWAPPED WITH IRISH OPPONENT BASIL MACLEAR bearing embroidered Prince of Wales feathers on a black background, four buttons and white collar, bears label to back of waist for J C Stewart, Edinburgh Provenance: quotation by Rhys Gabe in ‘Fifty Years of the All Blacks’ ‘The match between Munster and the All Blacks in November 1905 afforded Basil Maclear the opportunity of creating a unique record - that of playing against the All Blacks four times. What the extent of Munster’s defeat would have been without the heroic deeds of Maclear is a matter of conjecture.

Captain Maclear was a charming personality and persona grata, with all his opponents on and off the field. I was delighted to exchange jerseys with him after a memorable Ireland v Wales game, when we were Captains and opposite numbers at Centre ¾’ Statement from vendor ‘after Basil was killed in 1915, all of his effects were sent to his mother and she in turn passed them on to her granddaughter, my mother. (I should point out that my grandfather Percy, Basil’s brother, had already been killed less than a year earlier, and a third of the five brothers was killed towards the end of the Great War). My mother was the only child of that generation. Of my mother’s children, I was the sportsman, so she passed all of Basil’s effects to me. These included a suitcase containing his rugby jerseys and caps, comprising three Ireland jerseys (one with his name-tag sewn in), a Welsh jersey and an All Blacks Originals jersey. He had played against them 4 times on their 1905 tour. I have been caring for these since they came into my possession in 1974. I am the son of the late Eileen Bickford, nee Maclear and Basil Maclear was my mother’s uncle’ £7000-10000* 176

598 598 A PRESENTATION VOLUME OF ‘THE TRIUMPHANT TOUR OF THE N.Z FOOTBALLERS (1905 An Illustrated Record from notes by George H Dixon, Manager of the Team)’ published by Geddis & Blomfield, Wellington, binding in gilt tooled dark brown leather with silver NZ fern, the fly-sheets inscribed ‘Presented to Mr J Davey on the occasion of the visit of the Anglo Welsh team to New Zealand 1908, by the Cornishmen of Auckland’ and with approximately seventy signatures. The book chronicles the trailblazing tour of Europe and USA by ‘The Original’ All Blacks in 1905, led by captain Dave Gallaher Auctioneer’s Note: James Davey played rugby for England in 1908/9, won a silver medal at the 1908 Olympics (Rugby Union) and played 5 matches on the Anglo-Welsh tour to Australia and New Zealand in 1908, including a Test v New Zealand. The 1908 British Isles tour to New Zealand and Australia was the seventh tour by a British Isles team and the fourth to New Zealand and Australia. The tour is often referred to as the Anglo-Welsh Tour as only English and Welsh players were selected due to the Irish and Scottish Rugby Unions not participating. It is retrospectively classed as one of the British Lions tours, as the Lions naming convention was not adopted until 1950. Cornishmen were encouraged to emigrate to New Zealand in the late 19th Century because of their hard work ethic and so such Societies as The Cornishmen of Auckland were formed Provenance: private collector vendor from New Zealand £200-300*

NOTES

Rogers Jones & Co

185

Rogers Jones & Co

COMPANY TERMS & CONDITIONS These conditions of business for auctions held at our premises consist of:

this catalogue. In addition, VAT is charged on the premium (see below).

(1) Information for Buyers;

8. VAT. VAT is payable by the buyer on the buyer’s premium at either the standard rate depending upon the legal requirements relating to that lot.

(2) Terms of Sale (for bidders and buyers).

(1) INFORMATION FOR BUYERS AT AUCTIONS 1. Introduction. The following notes are intended to assist bidders and buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand.

9. Artist’s Resale Right/Droit De Suite. EU & UK law states that the artist or artist’s estate are entitled to a royalty known as ‘artist’s resale right’ when any lot created by the artist is sold. We identify these lots with the symbol next to the lot number. If these laws apply to a lot, you must pay us an extra amount equal to the royalty. We will then pay the royalty to the appropriate authority on the seller’s behalf.

The royalty applies if the hammer price of the lot is 1,000 euros (British Sterling equivalent) or more.

The total royalty for any lot can not be more than 12,500 euros. The percentages are as follows: 4% up to 50,000 / 3% between 50,001 and 20,000.

Please enquire for the accepted exchange rate on the day of the sale.

Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:

Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale.

4%

Up to €50,000

3%

€50,000.01 - 200,000

1%

€200,000.01 - 350,000

0.5%

€350,000.01 - 500,000

2. Methods of Payment. Lots must be paid for before they are collected. For those attending the auction we ask that lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our web site, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm within five working days following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 1,000 euros equivalent. We do not accept credit card payments.

We are unable to accept debit-card payments when the card holder is not present. Cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the goods away.

0.25%

In excess of €500,000

3. Collection and storage. All lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm within five working days following the auctions in this catalogue. Absentee bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment and collection within this time.

Please note the Terms of Sale concerning collection and storage. Items not removed in the timescale stated will be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 as an administration fee and £5 per lot per day may be charged (plus VAT).

4. Dispatch. We do not offer postage for lots sold at auction in this catalogue unless they can be packed within a Jiffy-bag. We can recommend agents who can undertake packing and postage.

5. Agency. As auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the goods is with the seller, not with us as auctioneer.

6. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price (the minimum price for which a lot may be sold) and will not be below the reserve price. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the auction of the lot. They are not definitive.

7. Buyer’s Premium. The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a buyer’s premium at 24% on all lots up to a hammer price of £19,999, and 16% on all lots of a hammer price £20,000 and over on of each purchased lot in the auctions contained within

186

Up to a maximum levy of €10,000 10. Inspection of goods by the buyer. As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods.

You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale on our website and www.the-saleroom.com 11. Condition Reports. We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy.

Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view.

Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale. In many cases condition reports are stated in the catalogue description but this does not act as a guarantee that the report is factually correct and it must not be taken as guaranteed that items without condition reports stated in the description are free from issues, such as damage, restoration or other problems.

12. Electrical goods. These are sold as “objects” only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.

13. Export of goods. If you intend to export goods you must find out: 1. whether an export licence is needed; and 2. if there is a prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because the goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory.

14. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You

will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding.

Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion.

15. Absentee bidding. You may leave absentee bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a lot (excluding the buyers’ premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute absentee bids as economically as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids.

If two buyers submit identical absentee bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving absentee bids online via our website. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute absentee bids received after this time.

16. Telephone Bidding. If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for some lots at our discretion.

The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance.

Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.

17. Online Bidding. Any lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional commission charge on the hammer price payable by the bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 5% plus VAT. The charges will be payable to us on top of the hammer price and the buyer’s premium.

(2) TERMS OF SALE Both the sale of goods at our auctions and your relationship with us are governed by the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers) the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices displayed in the saleroom or announced by us at the auction (collectively, the “Conditions of Business”). The Terms of Consignment and Terms of Sale are available at our saleroom on request.

Please read these Terms of Sale carefully. Please note that if you register to bid and/or bid at auction this signifies that you agree to and will comply with these Terms of Sale.

Please note that these Terms of Sale relate to auctions held at our premises only. We have separate terms for online only auctions.
