62 EZ621/1 GILT ORMOLU INKWELL

BY PAUL SORMANI, PARIS, 19TH CENTURY modelled as a rocky river with a cresting of a putto riding the back of a sea-serpent in bronze, the pen trays as stepped rocks with a conch shell as the lid of the inkwell with a small turtle to the front of the stand 35cm wide, 21cm high Note: The firm established in Paris in 1847 by Paul Sormani exhibited consistently at International shows during the second half of the 19th century. In 1867 the firm relocated to 10 rue Charlot. Italian by birth, Paul Sormani was a maker of fine ‘meubles de luxe’, whose work was described in the 1867 Exposition Universelle catalogue as ‘toute sa production revele une qualite d’execution de tout premier ordre’. The firm also made eclectic furniture in contemporary styles. It can be difficult to date Sormani’s work, as the firm produced furniture for nearly ninety years. However, when Paul Sormani died, circa 1877, his wife and son took over the business and from this date onwards pieces are normally signed ‘Veuve Sormani & Fils’.

J. KRISHNAMURTI Freedom from the Known Published by Rider on July 1st 2010, priced £6.99 ‘One of the greatest thinkers of the age’ the Dalai Lama ‘Krishnamurti was one of the most significant human beings of the twentieth century’ Deepak Chopra Born in 1895 in India, Jiddu Krishnamurti rose from humble beginnings to achieve international acclaim as one of the greatest thinkers and spiritual teachers of all time. As comfortable debating philosophy as politics, he was awarded the UN Peace Medal two years before his death in 1986.

Eckhart Tolle, Joseph Campbell and Alan Watts are among those indebted to his writings.

Since its first publication in 1969, Freedom from the Known has become a modern classic, selling over 3 million copies and being translated into over 30 languages. This new edition has been updated with an introduction by David Skitt, explaining Krishnamurti’s relevance today. In Freedom from the Known, Krishnmurti explores the problems we face as we try to make sense of our lives and challenges us to strip away our preconceptions. He encourages us to forget all we think we know about love, violence, beauty and death – to discover our true natures here and now.

In our current age of uncertainty and confusion, Krishnamurti’s message could not be more relevant or more powerful. Books have been written about him and films have been made about his life; there are even schools in the UK, US and India based on his views on education. Krishnamurti offers true freedom from the known, as thousands of people around the world continue to discover…

BROCKWOOD PARK SCHOOL: JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI AND MARY TAYLOR ZIMBALIST

The Brockwood Park collection marked the coming together of two remarkable people, Jiddu Krishnamurti and Mary Taylor Zimbalist, with a creative community of people who, inspired by Krishnamurti's teachings, established a school where students from all over the world could live and learn in an expansive and free from fear environment.

When this school at Brockwood was set up in 1969 Mary, a former debutante, successful model and Hollywood actress, was working and travelling with Krishnamurti as his close friend and personal assistant. She was then in her fifties and he in his seventies. Brockwood Park became their European home and base, and its exquisite furnishings were, at Krishnamurti's request, selected by Mary whose tastes were not only impeccable but aesthetically inspiring. It was a joy to visit and feel part of their home at Brockwood, where perfectly chosen furniture, pictures and porcelain enhanced the beauty of the fine eighteenth-century manor house.

When Krishnamurti and Mary met in California in the early 1960s, each had known and relinquished vivid and colourful earlier life-styles, and become deeply involved in spiritual enquiry. Kirshnamurti was then renowned as one of the foremost religious teachers and educators of the twentieth century. Born in India in 1895 he had, in 1909, been “discovered” by the international and influential Theosophical Society, which saw him as a reincarnation of the Lord Maitreya, and proclaimed him “the World Teacher”. He was taken under the wing of Dr Annie Besant, the great force of the Society. Educated in England he subsequently travelled the world, talking to very large audiences and meeting an astounding variety of people.

Distinguished artists, writers, musicians, scientists, actors and educators acclaimed him, attracted not only to his teachings but to his personal beauty and charm.

George Bernard Shaw, for example, famously wrote that Krishnamurti was the most beautiful being he had ever seen!

However, in 1929, Krishnamurti walked away from the Theosophical teachings and life-style, stating the “truth is a pathless land”, and that his concern was to set men and women free from the religious, political, nationalistic and other forms of conditioning which limited them. He continued to travel and talk to large audiences, but no longer as a guru - rather as a friend.

Mary had been born into an affluent and privileged American family who were prominent in New York and European society. She resolutely made her own way, first as a photographic model and later acting in Hollywood. Her delicate beauty and strong but gently expressed personality attracted many admirers. After a long association with the screenwriter, Ben Hecht, she eventually married the MGM producer Sam Zimbalist in the early 1950s and they made their home in Malibu.

Sam died suddenly of a heart attack, and in 1960 Mary

Jiddu Krishnamurti

attended the Oscars ceremony to accept, on his behalf, the “Best Picture” award for his Ben Hur. Always a free spirit, she embraced many liberal causes and, elegant as ever in Haute Couture clothes, participated in marches with Martin Luther King and other significant figures for social reform.

Brockwood Park, now and when Krishnamurti and Mary lived and worked there, is a byword for excellence and beauty. After Krishnamurti's death in 1986 Mary continued to spend time there, in between staying at the other home she made for Krishnamurti and herself, in Ojai, California.

FURTHER SELECTED CONTENTS FROM SPRINGKELL HOUSE

In the borderlands of Scotland, not far from Gretna, lies the elegant mansion of Springkell.

Built for the Maxwell family, proprietors of the Barony of Kirconnel and Springkell since 1609, the original Georgian centre of the house was erected in 1734 and later extended with the addition of the wings in 1818. Francis Groome described it in his Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland (1882-85) as: ‘a fine Grecian edifice ... with beautiful grounds’.

In 1894, Sir John Heron-Maxwell, 6th Bt., sold the property to Sir Jabez Edward JohnsonFerguson (1849-1929). Born in Salford, Manchester, Sir Jabez was chairman of Jabez Johnson, Hodgkinson & Pearson Ltd. and a director of the mining company Bolckow, Vaughan & Co. Ltd. In 1885 he became the Liberal MP for Loughborough and he was created a Baronet in 1906. The house passed down the generations with its contents fairly intact and still remains in the Johnson-Ferguson family today.

Following on from our successful sale of selected contents in the March Fine Antiques sale, we are delighted to be offering more items from the house, including a collection of 16th and 17th century Flemish tapestries which adorned the walls of the dining room.

William Nimmo & Partners was originally based in Wishaw and moved to Glasgow in 1969. Her output was prodigious and some of her notable projects include: the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow (with Leslie Martin); the Faslane Naval Base; and the restructuring and refurbishment of Britannic House in London for BP’s global headquarters, all in the 1980s. Jean was awarded the status of Freeman of the City of London and retired from practice in the 1990s.

FURNITURE AND WORKS OF ART FROM KINNAIRD ESTATE

There has been a house at the estate of Kinnaird near Dunkeld in Perthshire from the early 1600s. The original part of the current main house was built in the late 18th century, and the property changed hands several times during the following period. It eventually sold to John, 4th Duke of Atholl in 1826.

In 1840 the house was occupied by as a dower house by Lady Glenlyon, daughter of the 2nd Duke of Northumberland, after the death of her husband, Sir James Murray, 1st Lord Glenlyon, the second son of the 4th Duke of Atholl. The central part of the house was constructed during that period. At the beginning of the 20th century the Atholl Estates were being reduced for the first time in centuries, and in 1927 the 8th Duke of Atholl sold the Kinnaird estate to Major the Hon. Sir John and Lady Ward, who further enlarged the main house.

Sir John was the second son of William Ward, Viscount Ednam and 1st Earl of Dudley. His wife, Jean, was the daughter of Whitelaw Reid, the American Ambassador to the Court of St James's from 1905-1912. Their house parties at Kinnaird were renowned for the hospitality and sport, and among their guests were members of the Royal family. In 1960 the estate was inherited by the Wards' second son, Reginald Ward. He married Constance Cluett, from New York, in 1975 and together they continued to run Kinnaird as a sporting and residential estate with guests from here and abroad. Following the death of Mr Ward in 1987 Mrs Ward chose to open Kinnaird as a Country House Hotel in order to preserve the house, its style and atmosphere. It duly opened in 1990 and became known worldwide as a fine hotel and a member of the Relais et Chateau consortium. After 20 years, however, it was decided to manage the Kinnaird estate in another way and the hotel was closed.

The current lots formed part of the original furnishings in Kinnaird house and were all inherited from Sir John and Lady Ward.

A change in direction was required to meet competition from other London firms such as Thomas Chippendale and John Linnell The neo-classical taste gradually took hold from the mid 1760s, first in an increasingly refined vocabulary of marquetry decoration applied to the bombé and serpentine forms of the ‘French manner’ of the 1750s introduced to London by Pierre Langlois and popularised by Chippendale’s Director.

15. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) While we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements

by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents or the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 “information to buyers”.

(2) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.

16. FORGERIES Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any Lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer's premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition.

The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.

GENERAL 17. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.

18 (1) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.

(2). Such rights and exclusions shall extend to and be deemed to be for the benefit of employees and agents of the seller and/or the auctioneer who may themselves enforce them.

19. Any notice to any buyer, seller, bidder or viewer may be given by first class mail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting.

20. Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing at the commencement of the catalogue.

21. Any indulgence extended to bidders buyers or sellers by us notwithstanding the strict terms of these Conditions or of the Terms of Consignment shall affect the position at the relevant time only and in respect of that particular concession only; in all other respects these Conditions shall be construed as having full force and effect.

22. Scottish law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.
