Jake Potts Silver Department

Peter Cameron is a world-renowned scholar and expert who has traded as a specialist in antique silver for fifty-two years. Peter is a Freeman of the Goldsmiths’ Company in London, and was a long-serving member of the Antique Plate Committee (subsequently, the Hallmarking Authentication Committee), an internationally renowned body, that adjudicates and advises on the authenticity of British silver. After studying history at Peterhouse, Cambridge, Peter Cameron began researching and dealing in antique silver in 1973. On his maternal side, the family’s involvement in the silver and jewellery trade dates back to the early 1800s, with a great-grandfather joining Lambert’s of Coventry Street in 1848, and a great-great-uncle founding London and Ryder at 17 New Bond Street in 1850.

In the world of antique silver, the name Peter Cameron is synonymous with quality, scholarship, and expertise. Peter has a well-earned reputation as a true expert with exacting standards. Kinghams Auctioneers is delighted to be entrusted with handling a collection of this calibre.

Matthew Lafite

After fifty-two years of trading as a specialist in antique silver, I made the decision last summer to retire and I am delighted that Kinghams have agreed to undertake the sale of my pieces.

I became fascinated with silver, the most subtle, malleable and magical of metals, as a child: my mother’s family, Harman, had been directly involved in the jewellery and silver retailing trade since the early 1840’s- latterly at 177 New Bond Street. As John Bourdon-Smith often told me, when I used to hang around in the basement of his shop in Conduit Street, an antique dealer needs to love his stock a little’. My interest was not only in the material, silver, but also in the stories of the objects created out of it: their uses, designs, makers and owners. The lots in this sale represent my pursuit of these narratives. Hence, there is an engraving of the amazing Jernegan Wine Cistern, together with a number of the lottery silver prize medals and a catalogue of the lottery sale itself [only one other, in the British Library, is known], acquired during my researches into the Kandlers, silversmiths, working in London from 1728. The Kandlers are now known to have been brothers of the Meissen modeler, Johann Joachim Kaendler,. From the 18th century, also, are several pieces of ‘French plate’ – silvered brass made to imitate solid silver, called ‘French plate’ because immigrants from France, arriving in London, introduced the technique of plating with silver leaf. I still plan, eventually, to develop my two articles on ‘French plate’ makers into a larger work.

From the nineteenth century I am offering a few pieces made by the brothers Henry William and Louis Dee, who supplied extraordinary objects to the retail trade: their careers coincided with the early period of the Martin Brothers, pottery manufacturers, and some of the Dee’s bizarre designs are comparable to the Martin brothers’ work. I am also offering pieces made by the firm of Hukin and Heath, a partnership which, from 1870, when John Thomas Heath became Hukin’s partner, manufactured articles in silver-plate and in silver, using innovative design and the latest techniques. From the mid 1870’s into the 1880’s the firm employed the designer Dr. Christopher Dresser, of course, and his association with the firm thereafter, in the absence of archival proof, remains the subject of much uncertainty and speculation. My concern, in writing the article ‘The Partnership of Hukin and Heath’ was to focus on the family which ran the business and to point up their continuing enthusiasm for modern style: supplying articles fit for the new industrial age, often working in collaboration with ceramic manufacturers like Doulton and Coalport, and with glass makers, like Stevens and Williams. A significant part of the offering in this sale focuses on the ‘naturalistic’ objects – surely deriving from Dr. Dresser’s botanical and ‘aesthetic’ interests – which developed from the lotus bowls of the early 1880’s through to the range of ‘hammered’ designs displayed by Hukin and Heath at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900.

Finally, amongst the assorted curiosities, including pieces of ‘medical silver’, I offer a group of tea strainers, essential utensils in the making of a proper cup of tea, which developed from simple pierced spoons with spiked handles, (19th century antique dealers re-named these strainers ‘Mote Spoons’), through the little buckets intended to hang from teapot spouts, introduced in the 1770’s, and on to infusers of various shapes and two-handled strainers based on the earlier lemon strainer but completed with little stands to hold drips of liquid.

Note: these boxes are illustrated in both editions of ‘Silver Boxes’ by Eric Delieb. Delieb, however, mis-attributed the maker in both editions. [Second edition, see p.23, plate 32] “A custom prevailed both at Oxford and Cambridge, in the seventeenth century, if not earlier, to provide the Chancellors with silver boxes containing their personal seals and those of the Universities. But some if not most of these have been melted or converted in to other objects, perhaps cigarette boxes. The only boxes which I have succeeded in tracing so far are a small pair...which contained the seals of the third Duke of Portland, Prime Minister in 1783 and 1803, which are still preserved at Welbeck Abbey. They were made in London in 1792-3 by Peter and Ann Bateman.” (Silver Boxes for the Official Seals of Oxford, 1934) References: Delieb, E. (1979). Silver Boxes. 2nd ed: Ferndale Editions.

Note: Portraits of John [Jean] Jacob and his second wife survive and are now part of the collection held by the Huguenot Museum London. Relatively few pieces struck with Jacob’s mark survive. It seems likely that Jacob began as a working silversmith and later became a retailer. This particular form of candlestick is most unusual and seems to have been particular to Jacob.Two other pairs are known and each is marked for 1734. One pair has a domed centre between the base and the stem, whereas this pair and the other pair have a sunken well which rises conically into the stem. The chased female masks on the upper side of the bases on these candlesticks has not been noted on any other pair. These sticks were produced without nozzles (nozzles began to be made from the later 1730’s) but the later associated nozzles, albeit with worn maker’s mark, can be identified as having been supplied by Robert Garrard in 1838

Note: According to the Victoria & Albert Museum, “This design by Christopher Dresser was made by Hukin & Heath of Birmingham for the London retailers Leuchars & Son. The design was registered with the Patent Office (Rd. No.18367), which dates it to late 1884... An oriental - in this case, Japanese - influence is also noticeable in the design of the tea kettle, in particular in the wicker handle. It is positioned above the pot, rather than at the side, and can fold down for ease of packing, both aspects characteristic of a traditional Japanese teapot.”

a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to unreasonably high reserves {in which case goods carry the storage (Condition 17) and loss damage warranty (Condition 5(a) charges as stipulated in these Terms of Consignment}.

b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent.

c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally.

d) Reserves are not usually accepted for lots expected to realise below £50.

9. ELECTRICAL ITEMS

These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.

10. SOFT FURNISHINGS

The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.The rights of disposal referred to in clauses 9 and 10 are subject to the provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection upon request.

11. DESCRIPTIONS

Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 4 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds.

12. UNSOLD ITEMS

If an item is unsold it may at our discretion be re-offered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred.

13. WITHDRAWN AND BOUGHT IN ITEMS

These are liable to incur charges on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued.

14. CONDITIONS OF SALE

You agree that all goods will be sold subject to our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses, liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking.

15. AUTHORITY TO DEDUCT COMMISSION AND EXPENSES AND RETAIN PREMIUM AND INTEREST

You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all expenses incurred from your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement. You authorise us at our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business 48 hours after the day of sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these Terms apply.

17. STORAGE

We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make storage charges.

18. SETTLEMENT

Subject to funds having cleared in our account we aim to pay you no later

than four weeks following the sale. If the buyer has not paid for the goods no settlement will be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. Please note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 11 above and you should therefore bear this in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale.

INFORMATION FOR BUYERS

1. INTRODUCTION

The following notes are intended to assist buyers particularly those who may be inexperienced or new to our saleroom. All sales are conducted in accordance with our Conditions of Sale. Our staff will be happy to help you with anything you do not fully understand.

2. AGENCY

As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly, if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.

3. THE BUYER

The highest bidder acknowledged as such by the auctioneer will be the buyer. If any dispute arises, the auctioneer has absolute discretion to settle the matter. The auctioneer rules the bidding and bids cannot be retracted. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse any bid.

The successful bidder, whether bidding for himself or for a third party, is entirely responsible for paying for the lots they have bought in accordance with Kinghams’s Conditions of Sale and Business. The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of the sellers for any lot and to withdraw, consolidate or divide any lot or lots.

4. REGISTRATION

Unless registered already on a bidding platform, it is essential that all prospective buyers register with us, giving their full name, address, contact telephone number(s) and email address. First time buyers will be required to provide proof of identity (i.e. driving licence/passport), a valid debit or credit card and a copy of a utility bill confirming their name and address. Upon receipt of the above a paddle will be issued, which is only valid for the current sale. The paddle may be used to indicate your bids to the Auctioneer during the sale. If successful, the bidder must ensure that their number can be seen by the Auctioneer and that it is their number that is called out. Should there be any doubts as to price or buyer, please draw the Auctioneer’s attention to it immediately.

7. AUCTIONEERS MARGIN SCHEME

This scheme allows auctioneers to sell items without VAT on the hammer price. The buyer then pays an amount equivalent to VAT. This amount cannot be refunded and is not shown separately on the invoice.

8. PAYMENT

Buyers must pay in full before items can be removed from the premises (please see “payment methods” below).

Invoices will be issued from the day of the sale. Buyers must pay their invoice in full within 24 hours and advise when they will be collecting their item(s). Any invoices which remain unpaid after seven days will incur interest at 5% above the base rate, charged from the date of the sale. If buyers are unknown to us, we cannot hand over purchases unless we have adequate references or payment is cleared.

11. COMMISSION BIDS

If instructed, Kinghams will execute bids and advise prospective buyers. This service is free.

Buyers who cannot come to a sale may leave their bid with our staff after/during viewing, or make their bid in advance by telephone or email (enquiries@kinghamandormeauctioneers.com). Such bids are placed at the buyer’s own risk.

Bids must be made at least one hour before the sale starts, but we advise buyers to make bids at the earliest possible opportunity. When making bids, buyers must provide:

Their full name

Address

Email address

Contact telephone numbers

The number of the lot they wish to buy

Their maximum bid amount – excluding commission which will be added to the invoice afterwards

Buyers must state what their maximum bid would be. We cannot accept an instruction to ‘buy’ or unlimited bid.

We will ensure that lots are bought as cheaply as possible depending on the bids made and other reserves. If identical bids are placed, they will be dealt with on a “first come first served” basis.

12. TELEPHONE BIDS

Lines for telephone bidding should be booked 24 hours before the auction. Lines are booked on a “first come first served basis.” Full name, address and telephone numbers will be required together with proof of identity and address. Bank and credit/debit card details are also necessary to secure the line.

13. DATA PROTECTION

Kinghams will use information provided by its clients or obtained by Kinghams relating to its clients for the provision of auction services or as required by law. Kinghams may need to record telephone conversations for security or legal reasons or as necessary to provide a higher quality of service. Clients agree that Kinghams may use sensitive information that they supply to Kinghams. Unless permitted by law, Kinghams will not otherwise process sensitive personal data without express consent. By agreeing to the Conditions of Sale and Business, clients agree to the processing of their personal information.

14. STORAGE AND COLLECTION

Please note all items after the auction will be removed to store. Arrangements for collection can be made with the office.

15. ELECTRICAL GOODS AND SOFT FURNISHINGS

These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations.

16. EXPORT OF GOODS

Buyers intending to export goods should check whether an export licence is required and whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.

17. PACKING AND DESPATCH

We offer a packing and despatch service for smaller lots. We also use national and local carriers. Further details can be obtained from our office.

18. DROIT DE SUITE ROYALTY CHARGES

A picture or work of art by an applicable living artist, or those who have died within the last 70 years, which costs more than £1,000 hammer price will incur a royalty charge paid by the buyer. We pass this payment on to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (DACS), and do not charge a handling fee. Buyers can calculate royalty charges on the DACS website. Items marked with the † symbol in the catalogue will potentially incur royalty payments.

The actual qualifying threshold is calculated by the Artist’s Resale Right Service Hub and can be found on the DACS website.

The royalty charge for pictures and works of art that achieve a hammer price of more than £1,000, but less than that of £50,000 is 4%. On pictures and works of art that achieve a hammer price of more than £50,000 a sliding scale of royalty charges applies. For a complete list of the royalty charges and threshold levels please download more information from the DACS website.

The royalty charge is added to invoices and must be paid before purchases are removed. VAT is not paid on royalty charges.

Clients intending to import/export any item derived from natural history specimens into/from a non-European country should first check for any Import/Export and possession restrictions prior to bidding/selling.
