Lots 49 to 51 comprise the collection of the late Mrs Aldyth Cadoux (1927-2015).

Aldyth and Theo Cadoux moved to Gayfield Square, in Edinburgh’s New Town, in 1955 when Theo was appointed to the Classics Department of the University of Edinburgh.

Aldyth was an only child and her father, who had spent time in Serbia and had friends in Belgrade, was perhaps responsible for sparking an early interest in what was later to become Aldyth’s passion for Slavic languages, travel and textiles, the lots sold here reflect Aldyth and Theo’s travels throughout Russia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Mrs Cadoux was well known and welcomed by the staff of the Hermitage Museum, where she became lifelong friends with the museum director himself. Textiles were one of Aldyth’s main interests in life - she was an accomplished embroiderer, with expertise in church embroidery and gold thread work. She had extensive knowledge of fabrics, especially ancient fabrics, which she developed during her annual trips to the Middle East. Here she would advise on the age and type of cloth that was extracted from the tombs in Egypt.

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 only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given.

(2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. Furthermore, Lyon & Turnbull makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that Lyon & Turnbull cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally.
