Decorative Arts –

This October our auction offering opens with the private house contents of Trawalla, Toorak. Lots 1-70 feature antiques and custom-made pieces styled and sourced by the late Stuart Rattle. The collection is reminiscent of Rattle's passion for English design, with a modern twist.

Following this collection is the Douglas of Tilquillie family collection (Lots 75-89) featuring antiques passed down through various generations to the current Douglas family member. Treasures from the collection feature a lovely Italian micro mosaic box (lot 83) in addition to two Douglas female portraits from the 19th Century.

Our front cover features an inherited collection of Russian silver and enamel items (lots 92-100). The collection was forged with the vendor’s great grandfather, who was a Russian Silversmith in Moscow and immigrated to Italy around 1895. The majority of his collection consisted of pieces he had been gifted or collected from other silversmiths.

The collection was passed to the vendor’s grandfather who immigrated to Australia in 1923 and hence by descent to the current owner. These colourful enamels became popular in Russia in the late 19th Century, due to the influence of Chinese cloisonne and

revivalist styles inspired by earlier Byzantine models Within our European design section, we feature a lovely Biedermeier secretaire abattant (lot 149), showcasing a stylish architectural interior, a pair of waisted ‘Ballerina’ cabinets designed by Polish born cabinet maker Andrzej Loza for Studio Loza (lots 110 &111) and an impressive French four-piece macassar ebony and portoro marble dining suite (lots 105-108). Macassar ebony, named after the Indonesian port city of Makassar, boasts a richly figured exotic wood, which was in the height of fashion in France during the 1920s and 1930s, due to its rarity.

Another item of interest in the auction is the Letter to Admiral Nelson (lot 199), which was allegedly discovered in an old trunk acquired at a Burnhams property in the English county of Norfolk. In his letter Admiral Nelson quite simply expresses gratitude at receiving an unexpected gift from a distant relative, being a hare and two turkeys.

The auction also features a rare collection of antiquities including an Egyptian sarcophagus panel fragment (lot 217) and an Egyptian limestone canopic votive jar (lot 210).

THE DOUGLAS OF TILQUHILLIE FAMILY COLLECTION LOTS 75–89

The Douglas Family name origin.

The Douglas's were known as 'the great turbulent, daring and too often treacherous house'.

The Douglas of Tilquhillie branch was founded in 1479 in the marriage of David Douglas and Janet Ogston of Tilquhillie. This collection features lot 89, a Victorian mahogany hall chair which bears the Douglas of Tilquillie crest, together with two Douglas female portraits from the 19th century.

ENGLISH ANTIQUES LOTS 164–205

It is said that a Pilkington who fought under King Harold at the battle of Hastings in 1066AD, afterwards escaped under the disguise of a thresher, hence the crest’s thresher emblem.

The Pilkington lineage is the family of Lancashire – the Rivington division.

The most notable of the Pilkingtons of Rivington was James Pilkington who became the first Protestant Bishop of Durham from 1561 until his death in 1576.

Lots 164–167 all feature the Pilkington crest, and have been in one collection for generations.

This handwritten letter autographed by the Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté, also known simply as Admiral Nelson (1758-1805). He is regarded as the greatest ever British naval hero for his services to Britain during the Napoleonic Wars.

The letter was allegedly discovered in an old trunk acquired at a Burnhams property in the English county of Norfolk. It bears the Britannia watermark and is autographed ‘Nelson & Bronte’ in reference to Admiral Nelson’s status as the first Duke of Bronte. It is written with the Admiral’s distinctive left hand (having lost his right arm in battle in July 1797). It also conveys his strong character and charm that has distinguished so many of his letters.
