Dore & Rees Specialist Services Dore & Rees, established in Frome in 1868, has a long standing and cherished position in Somerset and the South West. Having built up a loyal local following, offering regular general auctions of antiques, furnishings and works of art and collectables, Dore & Rees is also pleased to be able to offer a more specialist service for genres which often fall outside of the more traditional auction house departments.

This service has been specifically tailored to represent collectors and families whose passion or attachment to a very personal collection can best be represented by equally passionate specialists. Whether it’s an ancient artefact or a collection built up over many years, our approach to understanding the story and provenance behind the items and sharing them with a global audience in a tailored and considered way through strategic marketing and PR, has proven how personal attention can lead to success at auction.

The Curious and Collectable auction has been curated and catalogued by consultant specialist Marc Allum. Marc explains the ethos behind this auction category “Collecting is part of the human condition and our propensity for accumulation is as old as time itself. The sophisticated nature of that trait has changed through history and has absorbed some of the greatest minds because the very nature of collecting has also advanced all aspects of science and philosophy through the ages. It is our inherent obsession with mortality, art, literature, religion and psychology that has driven man to some of his greatest creations and the 'Curious and Collectable' auction caters for that aspect of our psyche. Be it the mechanical, the musical, the cult of personality, ethnographic or even the

Marc Allum

macabre, there is something here to pique the curiosity of the collector in all of us.”

Marc has been an expert on the BBC Antiques Roadshow for 24 years. His eclectic and broad knowledge stems from an inherent and exacting interest across a wide spectrum of the art and antiques business. With over thirty years’ experience, his areas of expertise range from pre-history to modern design. His early career was forged as Director of Rosebery’s auctioneers in London but in latter years he has worked closely as a consultant with his Roadshow colleague Lee Young and is pleased to be on board helping to develop the Dore & Rees brand.

Marc has appeared on numerous other television and radio shows over the years, writes regularly for mainstream magazines and is an author with several books to his name. As an Arts Society registered lecturer, he also talks frequently to groups

around the world. Marc is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and an ambassador for the Association of Heritage Engineers.

David John Stainthorpe (1947-2020) David was born in Brighton where he lived and worked for most of his life. Growing up on a council estate, David took part in typical childhood activities such as scrumping, winding up his younger sibling and building Airfix models that he hung from his ceiling. As a young lad he started his hobby of collecting by accumulating postage stamps, cigarette cards, dinky toys and more. This sparked an interest in David which stayed with him for the rest of his life, expanding vastly as he grew older. He also had a particular love of his local area and environment, Brighton and Hove, where he could be ‘at one’ with nature, easily identifying the local flora and fauna.

David left school at 17 and was appointed a trainee accountant at Brighton Borough Council.

He studied hard and after a few years and numerous exams he qualified as a Chartered Accountant. Despite commitments of work and study, David still found time to become a keen sportsman and was an accomplished runner and footballer. He was, of course, also a lifelong supporter of Brighton and Hove Albion (The Seagulls), watching the likes of Brian Clough and Alan Mullery in his earlier years and more recently, at the AMEX Stadium whilst the Seagulls were in the Premier League.

In 1974 David was appointed as a Senior Accountant at a large, locally based company where, apart from a few years when he was seconded to the World Bank, he remained until retirement. His career progressed and he rose to

David as a young lad with his family (his mother Patricia, Father Albert and sister Helen).

David Stainthorpe. the position of Director of Customer Services.

David, along with his friend, Frank, took responsibility of organising annual summer hog roasts as treasurer of the Sports and Social Club. In this role he was able to take his “good accountancy practice” seriously as trying to get funds out of him was akin to getting blood out of a stone. This is something his wife and daughters experienced also, although no expense was spared on wanted collectables.

David’s interests matured over the years into antiques, and he was particularly proud of his collections of flintlock pistols, silver snuff boxes, African art, canes, taxidermy and sailing ships in glass cases to name a few. His interests gradually developed into arts and crafts, art nouveau and art deco. He loved paintings of ships and coastal scenes and was also very fond of paintings of the old Brighton Chain pier.

During David’s years of secondment to the World Bank, he was sent to New York, Pakistan, Vietnam, Nepal and Nigeria where he lived for 3 years. He became fascinated with African culture and soon started assembling a collection of tribal art including zulu spears, masks and numerous East African headrests. As the African tribes were gradually converted to Christianity by the missionaries, the chiefs were encouraged to dispose of their ancient witch doctor artifacts thus enabling David to extend his collection even further. He was always keen

to explain to friends that much of his tribal art had been stored in the tribal cookhouse and still retained traces of original cooking smells.David was able to further his interest and knowledge by reading many books on African art and culture. This interest in Africa later expanded into holidays to the Gambia with his wife and two daughters where David was able to revisit the culture and climate of Africa, teaching his daughters the art of haggling.

One of the Zulu spears came in very handy in later years when David encountered a burglar in his house and the sight of David brandishing a 7foot-long spear successfully scared the intruder away.

David, together with his kindred spirited friend Frank, studied Newlyn and St Ives paintings for over a year and became very knowledgeable on the subject. David particularly loved the Stanhope Forbes school and the Lamoma Cove colony of pre-WW1 years and managed to acquire numerous paintings by artists including J Park and I Wallis. David and Frank both loved antique fairs and never missed an Ardingly fair in 30 years. They also regularly visited Kempton Park, Sandown, Newark and twice weekly, accompanied by another friend Dave, visited the renowned car boot sales at Ford, West Sussex.

They were also well known for frequenting in local charity shops and the trip became connoisseurs of the ‘traditional full English breakfast’.

David as a young child with one of his treasured teddy bears. ‘teddy bears’, which the girls still treasure to this day. David was also overjoyed when his grandson Bertie was born in 2019, ‘boys’ toys’ then became the new attraction. Unfortunately, David died before his granddaughter Evie was born but everyone knows how much he would have been the doting grandad to her.

Following David’s death in 2020 Alison and the girls have now decided, after much heart searching, to sell the majority of his collection.

There is absolutely no doubt that whoever becomes the new owners of these antiques will be rewarded with items of quality that have been personally identified, acquired and loved by David over the years which are guaranteed to bring pleasure for many years to come.

Throughout his life David was fascinated by trains, particularly the history of the Southern Region and he constructed from scratch numerous scale model locomotives firstly taking over the kitchen breakfast bar, then later building in his converted outhouse named ‘David’s Workshop’. He also became fascinated by working model steam engines and acquired many of these for his collection.

David chaired the Finance Committee for the East Sussex Scouts and was a Trustee. He was proudly awarded an Award of Merit for his services.

David was very happily married to Alison and they settled into Rottingdean, a beautiful village by the sea. The family enjoyed many dog walks along the undercliff and up to the windmill.

Following the birth of their daughters, Sarah and Rachel, a new dimension of collecting was born,

Glossary of Cataloguing Terms Dore and Rees team members are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction, you are welcome to request condition reports. If you require clarification of any terms used in the catalogue please be in touch. We are pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored.

The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie. basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have undergone restoration, repair, or alteration. It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the description. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration. The use of inverted comas around a word or phrase (i.e. “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be (i.e. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt, our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice.

For Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark. Clearly, references to the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to personally inspect items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation.

Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date and provenance is reliable and accurate, but all such statements of opinion are not to be taken as statement or representations of fact. Dore and Rees reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority reasonably considered by them to be reliable.

Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage. Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers.

Paintings, Drawings and Prints

A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname or recognised designation of an artist is, in our opinion, a work by the artist, e.g. JOHN NASH

Attributed to JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.

Studio of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work by an unknown hand, which may have been executed in the studio of the artist.

Circle of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

Follower of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work executed in the style but probably not necessarily by a pupil.

Manner of JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date.

After JOHN NASH – in our opinion, a copy of any date after a work by the artist.

Signed/inscribed/dated JOHN NASH – in our opinion, the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist.

Bears signature/inscription/date JOHN NASH – in our opinion, the signature/inscription/date are probably not by the hand of the artist.

The addition of a question mark after any of the cataloguing terms in the above glossary indicates an element of doubt.

The term 'ascribed to' may in certain cases be used to denote a traditional attribution based on style.

A work catalogued as 'School' accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date mean that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in that location, e.g. Italian School, circa 1800.

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

The use of inverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connection with a signature, or inscription (ie. signed “John Nash”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand.

Jewellery

The contents of any gemmological certificates accompanying lots in this sale are not guaranteed by Dore and Rees and we cannot be held responsible for any disagreement over the contents of the certificates after the sale, or for a retrospective change in opinion by the certificate issuer. All weights and measurements provided are approximate only. Prospective purchasers should assume that all coloured stones sold by Dore and Rees have been treated unless otherwise stated to the contrary in the catalogue description. Stones are commonly treated to enhance their colour and clarity. Sapphires and rubies are commonly heat treated and emeralds commonly oiled. Jade/jadeite is often bleached, polymer/resin filled or dyed.

Please contact Dore and Rees for more clarification on treatment in individual lots. Items containing rubies or jade/jadeite of Burmese origin are not permitted for import by the USA
