CHRISTOPHER DRESSER (1834‑1904) (PANEL DESIGNER)

AESTHETIC MOVEMENT CORNER CABINET, CIRCA 1880 ebonised and gilded wood, with a polychrome‑painted panel and mirrored glass

70.2cm wide, 120.5cm high, 43cm deep, panel 28.5cm x 43.5cm

Literature: Dresser C. Studies in Design, Cassel Petter & Galpin, London, the plates by A. Goater, Nottingham, 1876, plate II illus. V&A Collection accession no. W.3‑2015, for a related hand screen, decorated with an adaptation of the painted design. Note: This cabinet is a rare example of an object decorated after a published design in Dresser’s most important works, Studies in Design of 1876. Plate II shows two owls standing upright and is captioned “Parental advice”. Dresser wrote in the caption text that the design ‘may be painted on the panel of a door, on the door of a cabinet, or in any recess in a wall, especially suited to a smoking‑room or nursery.” Elsewhere in the text he states that “the sense of humour finds expression in grotesque forms. Plates II (etc…) are illustrations”.

It may be that this corner cabinet was decorated under Dresser’s direction for the Art Furnishers’ Alliance Co. The Art Furnisher’s Alliance was the association of art manufacturers established by Christopher Dresser (1834‑1904) in 1880. The key objective of the alliance was to buy and sell high‑class goods of artistic design and to “complete artistic furnishing of a house”. George Hayter Chubb was appointed as Chairman, and Dresser was the ‘Art Manager’ heading designs for furniture, pottery, glass and metal, aided by Holme and Arthur Liberty.

In his preface to Studies in Design, Dresser hoped that the work would assist to “bring about a better style of decoration” and “aid the designer and the manufacturer of decorated objects, by suggesting to them useful ideas”. Whether or not the current lot was made directly under his instruction, the panel inset into the door of this cabinet was undoubtedly the sort of effect on a design Dresser envisaged when he published Studies in Design

MORRIS & CO.

DESIGN FOR A TILE, ‘THE MINSTREL’ pencil on tracing paper, framed 26cm x 12.5cm

Note: In the painted paper technique of tile decoration the design was drawn on tracing paper which was pasted onto a sheet of glass. On the other side of the glass, a square of thin paper was attached. The sheet of glass was set up in front of a window, so the lines of the pattern were easily visible on the thin paper. The painter then filled the design with pigment. The finished copy was placed face down on the surface of a tile blank, adhered with sodium silicate and sprinkled with powdered glaze before being placed in the kiln. In the kiln, the pigment fused with the glaze and

piano 148cm wide, 124cm high, 72cm deep, stool 93cm wide, 57cm high, 39cm deep

Provenance: Collection of Gary Kemp, London

Note: Upright pianos were generally perceived as ungainly and over‑complicated designs and it wasn’t until the mid‑1890s that design reformers attempted to reimagine the form. M.H. Baillie Scott’s innovation, thought to derive from the form of an Elizabethan strongbox, was to enclose the keyboard, music stand and candleholders behind broad doors that rationalised the shape of the instrument. The result was a piece of drawing room furniture that is both cleverly functional and aesthetically pleasing. Baillie Scott first exhibited the piano at the Arts & Crafts exhibition of 1896. He moved to the Isle of Man in 1889 and hence this form of the piano is known as the ‘Manxman’. This example has been recently refurbished.

MADELINE WYNDHAM (1845–1920) (ATTRIBUTED MAKER)

6.5cm diameter

Literature: Dakers C. Clouds: Biography of a Country House, Yale University Press, 1993, pp. 143‑152

Note: The Souls, or ‘The Gang’ as they chose to call themselves before the name ‘Souls’ was coined in 1888 by Lord Charles Beresford, was initially made up of four aristocratic families; the Balfours, Lyttletons, Tennents and Wyndhams. Arthur Balfour was the leading light of the Souls, and as a set they rejected being grouped with other social cliques of the time such as The Marlborough House crowd, preferring rounds of golf and literary discussions to bridge and hunting.

One of these sporting weekends was held at Clouds, the home of Percy and Madeline Wyndham, at Easter in 1902 and is the subject of the current lot. Percy Wyndham bought the Clouds estate in 1876, and he and Madeline set about demolishing the existing late eighteenth‑century house and building a new one, designed by Philip Webb between 1881 and 1885 and decorated by Morris & Co. Madeline Wyndham was an artist in enamels, embroidery and watercolours, however from the mid‑1890s she concentrated on enamelling. Madeline was closely associated with the enamellist Alexander Fisher and became one of his most talented pupils; she also used her influence to further his career. It was an expensive hobby and appealed more to aristocratic women, some of whom installed furnaces in their homes. Indeed, Fisher procured a furnace for Madeline from a Parisian firm and had it installed at Clouds in 1901, where this medal was probably fired. The participants in the Golf Competition at Easter 1902 are inscribed verso on the current lot ‑ they are ‘A.J. Balfour’ (later to be Prime Minister); ‘Elcho’ (Lord Hugo Elcho, 11th Earl of Wemyss & March); P.S.W. (Percy Wyndham); ‘O. Lodge’ (Sir Oliver Lodge); ‘Ego’ (Lord Hugo Elcho) and ‘Evan’ (Evan Charteris, presumably the winner).

Note: Clement Heaton, an early member of A.H. Mackmurdo’s Century Guild, set up his company Heatons Cloisonné‑Mosaic Ltd at 6 Berners Street, London in 1887, a year after selling his share in his father’s lucrative stained glass business Heaton, Butler & Bayne for £4,800. He patented his enamelling technique in 1886, inspired by medieval techniques that precluded the firing process and instead used coloured cements: a mixture of resin, beeswax, sulphur marble dust and coloured pigments. Hardening over time, these cements could be polished to give the soft matt finish characteristic of Heaton’s work.

Note: Daphne Allen was the daughter of Hugh Allen, and possibly the granddaughter of Ruskin’s publisher George Allen. She was educated at Streatham College for Girls and continued to live in that area of South London into adulthood. While still a child, Allen produced watercolours inspired by the New Testament, published in 1912 by George Allen as A Child’s Visions. The same year, they were exhibited as A Child’s Visions and Fancies at the Dudley Galleries. In 1913, a second group was published as The Birth of the Opal; A Child’s Fancies, and again exhibited at the Dudley Galleries.

Through her teens, Allen illustrated volumes by other authors for Headley Brothers: John Oxenham’s The Cradle of Our Lord (1916), A Garden of Love from Herrick & the Other Poets of the 17th Century (1917), and Janet Dykes and Christine Standing’s

The Man Who Chose Poverty – The Story of St Francis (1917). She also exhibited alongside Annie French and others at the Burlington Gallery in December 1919. Later exhibitions include one of ‘landscapes and imaginative watercolours’ at B F Stevens & Brown (1928) and another of paintings at the Little Burlington Gallery (1937).

Her further activities included painting memorials (including one for Christ Church, Newcastle, New South Wales), designing stained glass (for Scotby Church, Northumberland), and producing drawings for the Illustrated London News (at least until the end of 1952).

Note: This mirror formed part of the furnishings designed for the offices of The Essex & Suffolk Equitable Insurance Company commissioned from Voysey in 1906 by General Manager Sydney Claridge‑Turner. Voysey also designed ‘The Homestead’ and Frinton‑on‑Sea for Turner in 1905 and the mirror may have first been used there. The insurance company offices were taken over by stockbroker Chase, Henderson and Tennant who retained the furnishings and fittings. When some Voysey furnishings were stripped out of the premises in the 1960s, one of the partners, E.H. Brooks, found suitable homes for as many pieces as possible. Recipients included Charles and Lavinia Handley‑Read, the Victoria & Albert Museum and the William Morris Gallery. The Victorian Society received a side table and the mirror being sold in this lot.

Original drawings for this mirror in the RIBA collections are dated 1906 and 1908 (versions with one and two knobs on each drawer) and include examples with mouldings around the drawers, as in the current lot, which has a RIBA reference SB116/VOY [392]. This mirror matches another example illustrated in the bedroom of Holly Mount, a house designed by Voysey in Buckinghamshire, and photographed in 1907. Contemporary photographs in The Studio and Decorative Kunst show examples of mirrors in other styles made in the 1890s.

ARTHUR W. SIMPSON (1857‑1922), KENDAL ARTS & CRAFTS ARMCHAIR, CIRCA 1910

oak, with close‑nailed leather upholstery, together with the book The Simpsons of Kendal: Craftsmen in Wood 1885‑1952, by Eleanor Davidson, published University of Lancaster 1978 (2)

73cm wide, 98cm high, 54cm deep

Provenance: Inherited by the current vendor from Barbara Henderson, the niece of Arthur Simpson.

Literature: Davidson E. The Simpsons of Kendal: Craftsmen in Wood 1885‑1952, University of Lancaster 1978, p. 72, fig. 11 where a view of the 1st‑floor showroom, circa 1912, appears to show an example of the current lot in the display.

Note: After honing his skills during an early apprenticeship with Gillows of Lancaster, Arthur Simpson worked in a number of workshops until setting up his own in Kendal in 1885, known as the Handicrafts. Simpson secured a large volume of ecclesiastical as well as domestic commissions for furniture, and while he often catered to client tastes, his furniture designs follow a distinctive elegant aesthetic.

Locally sourced, high‑quality woods are used to form bold yet simple structures with practicality at the heart of their design. Shelving units were often fitted with dust flaps, cleverly concealing variations in book height for a well‑proportioned and clean‑cut appearance. Simpson’s chair designs often showcase sleek curved forms for comfort, outstretched armrests terminate with broad surfaces to serve as a drink or book rest when relaxing. Carving is usually crisp but is used sparingly to create a striking balance for the eye to appreciate the simplicity of form and the elegance of the decoration applied across his designs.

Simpson exhibited widely and in 1889 an example of his work was accepted by the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society. It was there that he would meet the architect Charles Voysey who became a great influence; over time his designs became more architectural and simpler with less carving. By 1912, Simpson was exhibiting alongside Voysey and Walton in the Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia. His entire stand was sold to one client. Later, he was commissioned to carve panels for Blackwell House, designed by Baillie Scott for Sir Edward Holt and such was his skill he was entrusted by Voysey to make a number of furniture commissions.

Whilst primarily a wood carver and cabinet‑maker, Simpson was also a lecturer and taught classes at his summer home in Windemere, in a bid to further promote the importance of the Arts & Crafts ideology as an effective approach to design. Pupils included Richard Rathbone, Ann Macbeth and Harry Stabler.

Although some designs were readily available, such as kettle stands and small stools, other pieces are far less common and were made on request, slightly differing in their design or shape. The following lots wonderfully showcase the exquisite carvings and simple, distinctive forms that have come to characterise Simpson’s work. With a focus on high‑quality craftsmanship, it is not surprising that Simpson’s work continues to be popular amongst collectors today.

J.S. Henry was a wholesale manufacturer of Art Furniture based in Old Street, London and was established circa 1880. Most of their furniture output was Art Nouveau in mahogany and satinwood with decorative inlay. At the Arts & Crafts Exhibition Society in 1903 the company showed designs by George Walton and W.A.S. Benson. G.M. Ellwood was their most prolific designer, and although they used designs by C.F.A. Voysey, E.G. Punnett and W.J. Neatby, few designers were named. Examples of this chair are held at the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow and MAK Applied Arts Museum in Vienna.

KATE HARRIS SILVER

79

KATE, or Katie, Harris, is broadly considered one of the most important designers for the London‑based firm, William Hutton & Sons. From 1899 to around 1905, she produced exquisite designs for artistic silver. We are pleased to offer this wonderful selection of pieces, which demonstrate the exquisite breadth of work she produced for the firm, and which is still very much sought‑after by collectors.

Sinuous botanical motifs and enchanting organic forms dominate her work, serving both a decorative and structural purpose for the piece itself. Perhaps Harris’ best‑known designs, however, are those featuring a classically stylised figural form, typically austere in feeling and with fewer erotic overtones than Continental Art Nouveau counterparts. The skilled craftsmanship needed to bring these designs to life showcases the sheer elegance and simple beauty that is now synonymous with Harris’ work. The period between 1880 and 1914 offered fresh opportunities to women artists in training and employment, and there was a growing number of women artist‑designers’ names published in popular art magazines at the time. Harris gained critical acclaim after regularly featuring in The Studio Magazine; soon several companies began to retail her popular silverwares, including Goldsmiths and G. L. Connell. While Harris may have been one of Hutton & Sons brightest talents, it was commercial standard practice for designs to be attributed to the firm itself, and not the individual designer. As a consequence, even successful artists would remain largely anonymous and it became challenging, particularly for women, to forge a prosperous artistic career. Though her biography remains vague, her accomplishments in silverware design are continually recognised and reflected in the high prices her work commands in the art market today.

ARCHIBALD KNOX (1864‑1933) FOR LIBERTY & CO., LONDON

‘TUDRIC’ CRUCIFORM CLOCK, CIRCA 1902

pewter, with abalone inlay, stamped TUDRIC/ 097

36cm high

Literature: Stephen A. Martin (ed.), Archibald Knox, London, 2001, p. 235

Note: Archibald Knox’s designs for Liberty & Co. are very well documented, especially his designs for their ‘Tudric’ and ‘Cymric’ ranges. Knox was known to have produced only a few very large clocks during his Liberty period and, at a towering 36cm, this is one such example.

His work draws on the rich cultural heritage of his native Isle of Man. As with many of the larger clocks that are known to exist, their monumental and minimalist forms are reminiscent of the standing Celtic stones which populate the island’s countryside and that Knox spent a lifetime exploring. The decoration on this example, stripped of superfluous ornament, incorporates abalone shell inlay as a repeating series of roundels; a stark and striking visual effect that signals a modernist approach to the design. This impressive clock fulfils Knox’s desire to bring together two worlds which he valued deeply: the ancient Celtic tradition and the new, modern world of design, which was undergoing the development of a new and innovative aesthetic.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Drawings & Interior Designs, Cameron & Hollis 2009, pp. 195‑197, 1904.J period photograph of the Blue Bedroom illus.; pp. 207 and 208, 1904.65 ‘Design and layout of furniture for the Blue Bedroom’; 1904.67 ‘Cabinet for the Blue Bedroom, Hous’hill’; 1904.67 illus.

Note: In 1903‑04, after working together on the Willow Tearooms in Glasgow for his patron Kate Cranston, Charles Rennie Mackintosh was invited to redecorate and refurbish her home ‘Hous’hill’, on the city’s outskirts. At this stage in his career, Mackintosh was in the throes of an innovative phase of creativity: experimenting with new materials, textures and forms, and how these contrasting elements could work coherently within a particular space. The ideas manifested at Hous’hill would inform future furniture designs and interiors, culminating in the commission for the second phase of The Glasgow School of Art in 1910.

Prior to his work on Hous’hill, many of Mackintosh’s interior schemes were white: elegant, white‑painted furniture adorned open white spaces which he decorated with flashes of coloured glass or stencilled roses. White interiors were also employed at Hous’hill however in the Blue Bedroom the furniture was typically stained or waxed and served as devices to break up what was a rather ordinary rectangular room. Stylised organic forms and Glasgow rose motifs were used sparingly; photographs and preliminary plans of

the bedroom indicate that decoration of this kind was minimal and largely reserved for the stained glass on a few basket lamps which were carefully positioned around the room.

This striking bedside cabinet, one of two produced for the bedroom, is decidedly rigid in form and follows a preference for simple geometric outlines. The elongated rectangular structure is further emphasised by a series of rectangular inlets for storing books and magazines. This effect is enhanced by the fine graining of the timber, which flows upwards in the direction of the exterior panelling. The decoration is relatively restrained and relies on a precise arrangement of cut‑out and inlaid squares, some of which have been inset with mother‑of‑pearl. Mackintosh’s preference for geometric linearity was carefully balanced with the subtle use of a curved stained‑glass panel, originally located in the central alcove of the cabinet, but now absent. By staining the cabinet as opposed to painting it white, Mackintosh allows the timber to play a role in its simple decoration. Contrasting textures of glass, brass, mother‑of‑pearl and the grain of the timbers work in harmony to create an innovative design which evokes an elegant yet restrained level of decoration. Other examples of furniture in the bedroom follow these new ideas to create a visually arresting interior scheme which would dominate some of his later commissions.

The two bedside cabinets were made for the Blue Bedroom by Francis Smith, one of Mackintosh’s regular cabinetmakers. His original designs for the interior show this example standing tall on the left‑hand facing side of the bed, closely positioned by the bed for ease of use and with a chair alongside each to balance the room. However, period photographs indicate Miss Cranston opted to position the cabinets slightly further away from the bed than initially intended, and the chairs were moved elsewhere. The other bedside cabinet now resides in a private collection.

By 1914, Mackintosh’s professional fortunes were dwindling and life in Glasgow became unbearably oppressive. Following the completion of the Glasgow School of Art in 1909, Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh’s business received very little work, much like their competitors, as the city was grappling with a recession. Mackintosh resigned as partner of the firm in December 1913, supposedly with the intention of setting up his own company, yet sadly nothing came of this. Clearly requiring some rest and recuperation from this drastic turn of events, the Mackintoshes left Glasgow for a summer break to Walberswick in June 1914, but the uncertainty of the First World War and a rather unstable economic climate persuaded them to remain in the village for fifteen months.

Like a number of coastal villages across the UK, Walberswick became a hub of artistic creativity in the summer months. Bright blue skies, endless coastal cliffs and colourful fields as far as the horizon brought the likes of Philip Wilson Steer, E. A. Walton and Mary Newbery Sturrock to this charming fishing and boatyard community. Mary Newbery was the daughter of Frances Newbery, Headmaster of the Glasgow School of Art at the time Mackintosh designed its new premises. The two men had formed a very close friendship during their time in Glasgow. Mary was convalescing in Walberswick while the Mackintoshes were staying in the village, close to her family’s villa there. Every day they would venture over to her studio and it is thought that Mackintosh was encouraged by the Newberys to turn to painting during this time, in his search for solace and seclusion.

Over the next ten months or so, Mackintosh made over forty botanical watercolour studies using a variety of species: from wild plants such as willow catkins and kingcups to garden favourites fuchsias and petunia, as well as flowers from local fields and hedgerows such as sorrel and chicory. From 1901 Mackintosh had been sketching similar plants and flowers whilst on holiday within Britain, and further afield in Italy and Portugal. These earlier studies are more technical in composition; the background is almost completely abstract as alternating and overlapping perspectives of botanical cross‑sections are illustrated. The focus of these sketches was analytical: investigating ways in which certain plant forms could be stylised to create abstract patterns on the page.

At Walberswick, the studies are decorative depictions, delicately drawn in a naturalistic manner. It is likely that Mackintosh worked with pressed specimens, perhaps picked on his walks to Sturrock’s studio, giving him an already flattened section to work from. In Ivy Seed, the plant is positioned off‑centre as the coloured leaves pointing towards the cartouche draw the eye into the complex structure of the branch itself. Mackintosh was clearly meticulous in his approach: connected stems and foliage are interwoven and overlaid in a beautiful display; there is a careful balance of tension and delicacy in the delineation of the leaves. The vibrancy of colour, subtly deployed across the page, breathes life into the work and helps capture the decorative beauty of his peaceful new environment.

The initials of Margaret Mackintosh appear frequently on many of these watercolours, and it was previously suggested that she contributed to the studies in some way. However, there is no stylistic evidence that correlates with Margaret’s own watercolour techniques. Mary Newbury Sturrock has stated that her initials merely indicate that she was there when the studies were made, thereby highlighting her constant presence in Charles’ life and art.

Mackintosh’s time spent studying the coastline and nature in and around Walberswick subsequently led to his arrest in 1915 when he was mistaken for a German spy. After a thorough search of their home led to discoveries of their artistic endeavours in Germany and Austria, Charles and Margaret were forced to leave the area with immediate effect. They eventually settled in London, where his deeply personal connections with nature formed the basis for further watercolours and some innovative textile commissions.

The spectacular series of Walberswick studies marks an interesting point in Mackintosh’s career. His intense personal and professional struggles prompted a search for solace in nature: these careful, naturalistic renderings of his surroundings are captivating in their simple beauty, evoking the serenity and contemplation he longed for.

Note: In 1916 the Mackintoshes left Walberswick for London where they made their new home in rented lodgings in Chelsea and two adjacent small studios in nearby Glebe Place. The war had ended any idea of Charles setting up an architectural practice either in Glasgow or London, where he lacked the contacts or the money to do so.

The series of wildflower studies that Mackintosh produced at Walberswick suggested a new way forward as an artist. In London, he began a series of cut flower watercolours and textile designs. The first of these flower paintings to be exhibited, Anemones, appeared at the ISSPG (The International Society of Sculptors, Painters and Gravers) in May 1916. A piece of fabric made from one of his designs can be seen in the background, suggesting he had begun working for the textile roller printers, William Foxton Ltd and William Sefton & Co. before this date. His early textile designs developed from his later work in Glasgow and from the Viennese designers he had admired before the war. Later, he drew on his intimate knowledge of the natural world, to produce abstracted repeat patterns, as in the current example. A variation of this design also provides the backdrop for Cyclamen, a watercolour of around 1922‑23.

By 1920 Mackintosh had built an impressive body of work and had become one of the leading textile designers of the period. His diary entry for this year recorded income of £200 from the sale of designs for voiles, chintzes and handkerchiefs. Despite this relative success, fabric designs did not bring him the recognition he needed to attract further work or commissions as his name would not have been associated with the designs at this time.

In 1916 Mackintosh did however receive a commission from the engineering and toy model manufacturer W.J. Bassett‑Lowke for his house at 78 Derngate in Northampton, where he was able to use some of his printed textiles. However, apart from this and a small commission for Miss Cranston in Glasgow no other architectural work was forthcoming and painting remained his alternative career until his death in 1928.

Note: Initially apprenticed in the Glasgow shipbuilding industry, E. A. Taylor trained as an artist at the Glasgow School of Art, where he met Jessie M. King around 1898. Taylor joined the Glasgow cabinetmakers and retailers Wylie & Lochhead as a trainee designer in 1893. His furniture designs for the firm brought him great acclaim with exhibitions at the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition and, with his fiancée Jessie King, a series of stained‑glass panels for the Turin International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art in 1902. Taylor went on to lecture in furniture design at the Glasgow School of Art from 1903 to 1905. In 1908 he married Jessie King and moved to Manchester to manage and design for George Wragge Ltd where he produced many designs for stained glass. Between 1911 and 1914 the Taylors lived in Paris where they established an art school – the Shealing Atelier. This rare sideboard by Taylor demonstrates his skills as a furniture designer, the inlaid panels characteristic of the burgeoning ‘Glasgow Style’, the mouldings and cut‑out features enlivening the solid form. This example is similar in form to a sideboard designed by Taylor for William Douglas Weir (later Lord Weir) in Glasgow around 1901, following the success of his room for Wylie & Lochhead at the Glasgow International Exhibition the same year.

Paris, Le Musée d’Orsay, 22nd January ‑ 13th April 2008, Brussels, Le Musée d’Ixelles 29th May ‑ 31st August 2008 Alexandre Charpentier (1856‑1909): Naturalisme et Art Nouveau, no. 79

“It is necessary to make art part of contemporary life. To make the ordinary objects that surround us into works of art”. Paul Greenhalgh (ed.), Art Nouveau 1890‑1914, V & A Publications, London, 2002, p. 20.

Alexandre Charpentier and Tony Selmersheim belonged to Les Cinq (which later changed its name to Les Six Les Huit as new members joined) who advertised their ambitions, in an 1898 Paris exhibition, as to integrate art into present‑day life and to make everyday items beautiful and meaningful. They, like Emile Gallé, believed in the transformative and redemptive power of the arts to change not just an individual but society more broadly, and even the national economy. Charpentier created the sculptural components of this clock. Originally conceived as a larger figural group it is here employed at half the size. Besides the change in scale, the other difference between the two figural groups is the inclusion of a scythe in this present piece.

Charpentier had begun his career working for a medal maker and this clock incorporates three panels representing the Fates. He was very much at the forefront of the revival of interest in medal‑making and low‑relief plaques of the period. This art form very much suited the Art Nouveau ethos and the fascination for whip‑lash lines.

While Charpentier created the sculptural elements, it was the architect and decorator Tony Selmersheim who designed the case of the clock. Regarded as one of the leading Art Nouveau furniture makers, he worked alongside Victor Horta, Maurice Dufrêne and Henry van de Velde on La Maison Moderne, before forming a highly successful partnership with Charles Plumet. As is the case here, his work was characterised by simple forms that emphasised the structure of the piece, and by flowing elongated stem‑like lines that reference nature.

Like so many Art Nouveau works, this clock explores recurring Symbolist themes. The sculptural group surmounting the clock can be seen to represent Time, Age and Love. A young man kisses his lover whilst holding her aloft. Concurrently the man grasps the scythe being wielded by the old man, trying to keep him and it at bay. He represents not only old age but with the scythe offers a reminder of human mortality. Life is a cycle, and the bas‑relief panels below depict the Fates from Greco‑Roman mythology. In the front panel, Clotho holds a distaff, the left panel depicts Lachesis operating the spindle and on the right Altropos cuts the thread. This imagery is in keeping with the representation of time in the figural group surmount with a beginning and an end determined by another force. Instead of using classical models, Charpentier chose contemporary figures, and in so doing draws a clear link between art and modern life. Art is relevant and should speak to the present. This functional clock has been transformed and elevated by Charpentier and Selmersheim into a meaningful work of art.

THÉODORE DECK (1823‑1891)

FAÏENCE VASE, CIRCA 1880

glazed ceramic, signed to base TH. DECK 48.7cm high

Note: Born in Guebwiller, Haut‑Rhin, Théodore Deck moved to Vienna as a young man, training as a stove‑maker and producing work for Schönbrunn Palace. He returned to France in 1847 and, impressed by the majolica wares shown by the Minton factory at the Exposition Universelle of 1855, Deck was moved to produce his own. In 1856 he established his faïence workshop Joseph‑Théodore Deck Ceramique Française, initially producing ceramics in the Islamic and Turkish Iznik style. Throughout the 1880s Deck’s pottery began to reflect elements of japonisme, a popular element of the Aesthetic Movement in the late 19th century.

Working with notable artists such Raphaël Collin, Deck developed a number of his own glazes, the most familiar being bleu de Deck, used in this pair of baluster vases.

Deck’s obituary in the New York Times recognises that it was “at the Exhibitions of Decorative Arts, in Paris in 1880 and 1884, [that] he attained world‑wide celebrity with his vases, red, turquoise, Deck blue, and other colors (sic), limpid, profound, and dazzling.” A committed aesthete, “Deck died at Sèvres, in the little pavilion‑with rooms of gold, satin, and velvet, filled with vases painted in manganese violet and eel yellow colors (sic), lacquers, netsukes, and swords of Japan…. He was inseparable from his surroundings; he wore the air of their art and charm as if he had been born among them.”

CAMILLE GAUTHIER (1870‑1963) (ATTRIBUTED TO) ART NOUVEAU DINING SUITE, CIRCA 1900

Note: Camille Gauthier began his career with Louis Majorelle in 1893, as a draftsman in the design office. At this point in his career, Majorelle was producing reproductions of Louis XV furniture. These he exhibited in 1894 at the Exposition d’Art Décoratif et Industriel in Nancy, but the influence of the glass and furniture‑maker Emile Galle (1846 ‑ 1904) inspired him to take his production in new directions.

As a draftsman for the firm Gauthier will have been absorbed in producing designs for marquetry, carved details and the sinuous lines of the Art Nouveau style. By 1900 he decided to set up his own company and in 1904 joined forces with industrialist and upholsterer Paul Poinsignon.

The firm was immediately successful, appealing to a wide market and producing high‑quality furnishings in their mechanized workshops. Their production adhered to the principles of the School of Nancy (L’École de Nancy). The School was part of a wider effort to dissolve the divide between the ‘major’ arts of painting and sculpture and the ‘minor’ decorative arts. Set up by Émile Gallé in 1901, it was principally supported by designers Louis Majorelle, Victor Prouvé, and the glassmakers August and Jean‑Antonin Daum. Camille Gauthier was on the steering committee. They aimed to enhance the artistic content of industrially produced articles through the intervention of the craftsman, building on the legacy of the writings of John Ruskin and William Morris in Britain. £10,000‑15,000

Crawford – one of London’s largest advertising agencies – he had not received any formal art training. He subsequently took evening classes in design and drawing at Central School of Arts & Crafts (1922‑23) and received private drawing lessons from Henry Moore in 1933. The London Gallery held Havinden’s first solo exhibition in 1937. Two years later he was one of the nine British artists to feature in an exhibition of abstract paintings held at the Lefevre Gallery. He remained with W.S. Crawford for forty‑five years becoming art director in 1929 and vice‑chairman in 1960. During this time, Havinden was given full freedom to develop his distinctive style, working on campaigns for Martini, Liberty’s and Chrysler, amongst others. Meanwhile, he produced rug and textile designs for Duncan Miller Ltd and Edinburgh Weavers. For the V&A’s 1946 exhibition Britain Can Make It, he designed the Men’s Wear displays, as well as the exhibition catalogue cover. Havinden received an OBE for his services to British Design in 1951.

CHARLES D’ORVILLE PILKINGTON JACKSON (1887‑1973)

‘DAWN’, 1925

bronze, signed and dated in the bronze PILKINGTON JACKSON/ 1925, raised on a stepped slate plinth 63cm high, 76cm high including plinth Provenance: Stanley Cursiter and by descent

Note: The sculptor Charles Pilkington Jackson set up his first studio in 1912 with the founder William McDonald. Commissions included collaborations with Sir Frank Mears and Sir Robert Lorimer. After the First World War, he set up on his own at 12, Church Lane, Edinburgh (now Gloucester Lane).

During the 1920s Pilkington Jackson principally worked on memorials, among these the Elsie Inglis Memorial with Sir Frank Mears in 1922 and the Alloa War Memorial with Sir Robert Lorimer in 1925. He also produced some portraiture and allegorical work during this period including the current lot. ‘Dawn’ was cast by McDonald and Creswick between July 24th and March 1925, and the orb of the sun was cast separately. The marble base was supplied by Galbraith and Winton. Never on the open market before now this is the only example of this figure known to have been cast. The figure was given by Pilkington Jackson to the Orcadian artist Stanley Cursiter, in exchange for two oil paintings which the artist produced of Pilkington Jackson’s studio at 12, Church Lane.

The work of Carl Milles was an important influence on Pilkington Jackson, who visited the Swedish sculptor in 1929. After the Second World War, he continued to work, his career culminating in the monumental sculpture The Bruce at Bannockburn, cast in 1964.

We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below.

(a) Condition Reports: Condition Reports are provided on our Website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a Lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way.

(b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.

(c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.

3. WITHDRAWAL

Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.

4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS

(a) Jewellery:

(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future.

(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale

and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report.

(iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.

(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

(b) 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, we make 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 we 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. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.

(c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given.

(d) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300.

(e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

For each Lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 26% of the Hammer Price of each Lot up to and including £20,000, plus 25% from £20,001 to £500,000, plus 20% from £500,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the Hammer Price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

2. VALUE ADDED TAX

Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant Lots.

(a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger

(†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme.

(b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

(c) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.

3. ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (DROIT DE SUITE)

This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.
