Decorative Arts

Our July Decorative Arts offering opens with The Collection of Dr Christine Rothauser. Spanning thirty lots, the collection can be defined by three categories, French Antiques, European art and a rare collection of bespoke-made furniture by the celebrated emigree designer Schulim Krimper. The antiques and artworks were all sourced by the vendor in Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. The collection is broad, ranging from traditional French tastes — exemplified by two fine Louis XVI period mantel clocks (Lots 3 & 4) — to Modernist art by eminent late 19th- and early 20th-century artists such as Giorgio De Chirico, Paul Signac, Jean Cocteau, Le Corbusier, and Henri-Edmond Cross (Lots 17–31).

The Krimper furniture component was predominantly made bespoke for the Rothauser family over a twenty-year period, for both professional and personal settings. It includes unusual designs such as the black bean and tile-inset dining suite (Lot 9), which is ensuite to the black bean sideboard (Lot 10), featuring Krimper’s trademark joinery and his distinctive use of Australian timbers. Shining a light on his craft, Bayside Galleries will be showcasing Krimper’s designs in a public exhibition opening in July.

The Myers Collection follows as the second single-owner capsule within the auction. A third-generation collection of artworks, antiques, and predominantly silver, it was sourced in England in the early 20th century. A highlight from the collection — and gracing our front cover — is the fine diamond-framed portrait miniature of George IV, attributed to Richard Cosway (Lot 34). Featuring no fewer than 110 old mine-set diamonds totalling approximately 6 carats, the portrait also bears an apparently original inscription to the verso: “Edward / Duke of Kent / R. Cosway.” The fact that the sitter is clearly not Edward, Duke of Kent, but his older brother, George, suggests the possibility that — rather than identifying the sitter — the inscription records that the miniature was once part of Edward’s collection.

The Myers Collection also features nineteen lots of Britannia and sterling standard silver, including early examples such as a lovely pair of Queen Anne tazze, possibly by John Bodington (Lot 38), and a Charles II porringer (Lot 39). Other notable pieces include an early Flemish School painting of the Lamentation over the Dead Christ (Lot 32) and a pair of George III cut-glass and crystal girandoles (Lot 57).

Lots 60-77, comprising Australian and related decorative arts and items of historical interest, include several noteworthy highlights.

Commanding two pages of the catalogue is an impressive New Zealand exhibition specimen wood secretaire cabinet (lot 60). The cabinet’s exterior and fitted interiors being of specimens of eight or nine different New Zealand species including kauri, puriri, totara, rimu, rewa rewa, pohutukawa and others, some represented by two or three different types of figuring of each.

Although not signed, is almost certainly by Walter Bayne, an Auckland- based cabinet maker in the 1870s and 1880s, he was particularly known for making specimen wood secretaire and similar cabinets of his own original design, and some of which were exhibited in New Zealand and Australia in 1886, 1887 and 1888.

Other highlights within this section include a very rare wartime portrait photograph of Winston Churchill, signed by the sitter and dated Jan 1st, 1944 (lot 70) and an autograph letter from Sir Joseph Banks, apparently addressed to John Fleming (lot 71). The latter dated 1798, is a fine example of the correspondence Joseph Banks maintained with fellow naturalists around the world and the procuring of specimens and exchange of knowledge this facilitated.

Our final single owner capsule (lots 78-97), features twenty lots of silver, predominantly drinking vessels focused on Newcastle makers. Rarer examples within the collection date to the William and Mary, and George I periods, and include sought after Newcastle silversmiths such as William Partis, Isaac Cookson, Francis Batty II.

Also, within the auction are another twenty-three lots of silver from other vendors, totalling over sixty silver lots offered for sale, a rare purchasing opportunity for seasoned and new collectors alike.

We look forward to inviting you into our showroom or connecting with you online to discuss our July offering.

A FINE DIAMOND-FRAMED

PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF GEORGE, PRINCE OF WALES, ATTRIBUTED TO RICHARD COSWAY*

Late 18th century, the frame of the same period Attributed to Richard Cosway (1742–1821)

A portrait of George IV when Prince of Wales, bustlength, wearing the breast star of the Order of the Garter over a blue coat with white cravat Watercolour and gouache on ivory

Apparently unsigned

Framed behind a slightly convex glass cover within a 9ct gold frame with a border of 110 pinched colletset old mine-cut diamonds, colour H-J, clarity SI, each measuring around 2mm, total diamond weight approximately 6ct, the gold back with a suspension loop

The reverse of the frame engraved ‘Edward / Duke of Kent. / R. Cosway.’

9.5 x 8.7cm, oval, 78g in total

provenance

Possibly, Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn (1767–1820)

other notes

Richard Cosway met George, Prince of Wales, later King George IV (1762–1830), in 1780, and was to enjoy his patronage for the next three decades, painting numerous portraits of George in this period and being appointed around 1786 ‘Miniaturist to the Prince of Wales’.

From comparison with other portraits of the Prince, the present portrait can be dated to the 1790s.

The fact that the sitter in this portrait is clearly not Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn (1767–1820), but his older brother, George, suggests the intriguing possibility that, rather than being an identification of the sitter, the apparently original inscription to the reverse records this miniature as being in Edward’s collection.

Almost certainly by Walter Bayne, Auckland, circa 1887

literature

William Cottrell, Furniture of the New Zealand Colonial Era, An Illustrated History 1830–1900 (Auckland, 2006), p. 421, image 21.43, referring to the series of cabinets of which the present lot is a part and illustrating the related secretaire cabinet in the Kauri Museum, Matakohe, NZ.

other notes

The present lot is one of a series of related cabinets apparently by the same maker working in Auckland in the 1870s and 1880s. A cabinet of identical form but with differences in its carved details and the supports flanking the knee hole is in the Kauri Museum, Matakohe, NZ, attributed to ‘H.M. Gill’ (inv. no. 1997.518.1-8). William Cottrell is aware of two further related cabinets: a cylinder-top desk with paw-footed monopod supports festooned with grapes similar to those of those of the Kauri Museum cabinet sold at auction in Auckland in 1991, and another sold at auction with Webb’s in Auckland in the later 1990s. The cabinet sold at Webb’s is said to have been signed ‘H.M. Gill’.

Additionally, the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, holds a New Zealand specimen wood secretaire cabinet of different design also inscribed ‘H.M. Gill’, acquired by its donor from the estate of Justice Lydiard Wood, Springfield House, Adelaide in November 1991 (inv. no. 97/194/1).

No other record of ‘H.M. Gill’ has been traced and Mr Cottrell now believes these cabinets were probably all made by the Auckland maker Walter Bayne. Bayne is recorded in contemporary newspaper reports and advertisements as a cabinet-maker variously working for others and on his own account through the 1870s and 1880s and particularly for making specimen wood secretaire and similar cabinets of his own original design, some of which

were exhibited in New Zealand and Australia in 1886, 1887, and 1888.

An article in the Auckland Star newspaper of 17 February, 1888, reporting the opening of that city’s public art gallery refers in some detail to a recently-completed secretaire cabinet by Bayne exhibited on that occasion and shortly to be sent to the ‘Melbourne Exhibition’. The correspondent’s detailed description of the design of the cabinet and various of its parts – including the central counterweighted downward-sliding panel with a carved medallion of ferns enclosing small drawers faced with specimen woods, the flanking doors carved with peas, and blue velvet lining – is seemingly identical in most respects with the present lot. The one specific difference between the description and the present cabinet is a reference to the ‘claw of the pedestal … to which is affixed a [carved] bunch of grapes’, apparently a reference to monopod supports like those flanking the knee hole on the Kauri Museum cabinet rather than the turned columns on the present cabinet. (The correspondent’s description does not otherwise match the Kauri Museum cabinet excluding the possibility it refers to that cabinet.)

Contemporary Australian newspaper reports indicate that, in addition to attracting attention and awards for his entry to the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition, Bayne also exhibited a ‘lady’s escritoire’ at the 1887 Adelaide International Jubilee Exhibition (presumably a different cabinet from the recentlycompleted piece shown in Auckland in February 1888 and in Melbourne later that year).

We are grateful to William Cottrell for his generous assistance with information used in cataloguing this lot.

An instrumental figure in the early development of the Royal Australian Air Force, later serving as its head as Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Goble served as the Australian Air Liaison Officer to the Empire Air Training Scheme in Canada from 1941 to 1945. It seems likely the present lot was presented to him in that capacity.

BANKS, Joseph (1743–1820) – AUTOGRAPH

LETTER SIGNED, APPARENTLY TO JOHN FLEMING

Dated at Soho Square, London, 7 August, 1798

A letter to an unnamed addressee, apparently John Fleming, beginning: ‘Sir, I beg you to accept my best thanks for your obliging intentions towards me in forwarding by […?] a living musk animal. I am writing to inform you that your obliging good wishes have been disappointed by the death of the animal which is a grievous loss to Natural History as I am certain that hitherto no animal of the species has been brought to England.’

After reporting the circumstances of the death (‘Mr Brown tells me that it died in a fit being in perfect heath a few minutes before …’ and that the deer had been in good care before that), Banks relates that ‘in consequence of this care we have learned from it a curious fact in comparative anatomy. The position of the penis of this animal respecting its musk bag which it appears to perforate but really does not[?]’.

After further comments on this specimen, Banks refers to an antelope previously supplied by the addressee having ‘shared the same fate’ but thanks him for his endeavours and the opportunities these afford Banks (‘I feel as a naturalist the pleasure of seeing it and noting the remarkable circumstances of it …’). He continues with various comments on the sharing of specimens and related knowledge and concludes with an offer of reciprocal assistance: ‘I shall be happy to receive your command as I consider myself much obliged to you Sir and really am / with esteem and regard / your obedient [honourable] servant / Jos: Banks’.

Three pages on a folded sheet of gilt-edged laid paper, inscribed verso ‘Sir Joseph Banks / Aug. 7. 1798 / Recd April 13th. 1799’

Inscribed in pencil in a later hand ‘Addressed to John Fleming Esq.’

The sheet 23 x 38cm overall

other notes

A fine example of the correspondence Joseph Banks maintained with fellow naturalists around the world and the procuring of specimens and exchange of knowledge this facilitated.

John Fleming (1747–1829) was a surgeon who served in the Indian Medical Service from 1768 to 1811, during which period he also pursued his keen interest in natural history, especially botany, culminating in his A Catalogue of Indian Medicinal Plants and Drugs (1810).

Fleming and Banks corresponded over many years. That Fleming was the addressee of the present lot seems confirmed by a letter from him in Calcutta to Banks dated 11 November, 1797, in which he writes that he is sending a living ‘Thibetan Musk’ (cited in James Britten, ‘John Fleming, M.D. (1747–1829)’ in The Journal of Botany, British and Foreign, vol. LIV (1916), p. 302).
