directly to the artists he admired and asking them to send whatever they might have spare that fit his modest means. It’s a collection that certainly speaks of different times – as does that of Leonard & Dorothy Elmhirst, founders of Dartington Hall – nominally a school, but also a workshop of art, philosophy and spiritualism, a Bauhaus set in a Medieval manor in Devon. The Gerald Summers furniture featured in the sale perfectly encapsulates the Dartington spirit, with form and function in absolute harmony, the aesthetic defiantly purist, but still wearing materiality and making on its sleeve. The celebrated lighting designers John & Sylvia Reid were certainly the inheritors of Dartington’s internationalist spirit. As the greats of European art, design and architecture – Mondrian, Moholy-Nagy, Gropius etc – passed through London in the late 30s and early 40s, they sparked a new generation of artists who shaped the destruction of postWar into a bright, new Modern Britain, exemplified in the aesthetic of the Festival of Britain in 1951.

Another arrival on our shores is Cedric Morris’s Experiment in Red, which for the last 50 years has been more and less hidden in Kenya, first with the dealer Kathleen Firmin, who bought it on a trip to London in 1975, and then latterly in a private collection. It forms the third part in a trilogy of major flower paintings by Morris that we have had the honour of presenting in the last year. The Morris is joined by important works of Modern British art – by some of our greatest artists such as Paul Nash and Victor Pasmore – with a healthy dash of European Modernism too, including such names as Picasso, Delvaux and Marquet. Our cover lot, Paolo Scheggi’s Zone Riflesse, is in some ways the ‘poster child’ for Modern Made as a whole. A serious work of modernist painting, that would hang perfectly above your Gio Ponti headboard (Lot 148) or Hans Wegner sofa (Lot 98), lit by a Reid or Angelo Lelii lamp (Lots 197 & 133, amongst others) whilst you have an espresso from a Rupert Spira cup (Lots 357 & 359). It’s the collector’s life we wish we had and which we hope you’ll enjoy too.

The artist Joan Warburton recalled of The Pound: At the back of the house lay a garden which ran down a slope to a pond … and beyond a marvellous view of the whole valley. The garden was a series of low-hedged beds, Cedric’s studio was beside the house in the garden. To go in there quietly when Cedric was painting the favourite of all his flowers, irises, was a revelation. (as quoted by Richard Morphet in Cedric Morris, Tate Gallery, London, 1984, p.48)

The artistic freedom underlying the painting is encompassed in its title, Experiment in Red. At especially creative periods throughout his career, Morris used this titling, such as the ‘Experiment in Texture’ and ‘Textures’ works of the 1920s (examples held in the collections of Tate and Gainsborough’s House. He was to return to his exploration of the titular colour in Essay in Red of 1959 (untraced), shown in his solo exhibition of that year at The Minories, Colchester. Indeed, a revival of interest in Morris’s achievements was witnessed in the 1960s and 1970s, including the retrospective exhibition mounted by the National Museum of Wales and the Welsh Arts Council in 1968. A further retrospective was held by David Wolfers at his influential New Grafton Gallery in London in 1975. Wolfers had been introduced to Morris by the artist and collector Natalie

and culturally. It was, in fact, during a royal tour of the Commonwealth, on behalf of her ailing father, King George VI, that Queen Elizabeth II came to Kenya for the first time in February 1952 and it was during this tour, at Treetops Lodge, north of Nairobi in the Aberdare National Park, that she received the tragic news of her father’s passing, thus becoming queen. Experiment in Red passed to Linda Lomonaco, Kathleen Firmin’s long-time assistant (who had worked with her hand-tinting Arthur’s prints). Linda went on to run Monaco Fine Arts Ltd in Nairobi, from where Experiment in Red was acquired by the present owner in 2006. After five decades in Africa, its return to the UK allows European admirers of Morris and of Modern British Art to savour a painting which embodies Richard Morphet’s declaration that:

Paul Bony was a French master glassmaker whose collaborations with Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall and Georges Rouault helped translate their designs into stained glass. He worked closely with Matisse on the windows for the Chapelle du Rosaire at Vence, a project conceived in 1947 and completed in 1951. Bony’s technical expertise was essential to realising Matisse’s carefully judged interplay of blue, green and yellow glass, which fills the chapel’s white interior with coloured light.

Peter Adam recounts in Eileen Gray: The Private Painter, she discussed painting with her niece, the artist Prunella Clough, but regarded her own work in the medium with considerable modesty. Only later did exhibitions bring sustained attention to her drawings and gouaches. The present work shows how readily Gray could move between the discipline of design and the freedom of painting. Its upright structure and crossing lines evoke the organisation of an interior or an architectural drawing. Yet the soft-edged colour and ambiguous forms resist any

Long overshadowed by her furniture and buildings, Gray’s works on paper offer a more intimate view of her imagination. This drawing is compelling for the balance it holds between measured construction and uncertainty, inviting the viewer to keep looking as its forms shift between image and abstraction.

The six chairs designed and manufactured by Gordon Russell Ltd. in collaboration with Ernest Brander Musman have an equally revealing history. The design originated in the clubroom of the Ace of Spades roadhouse on the Kingston By-Pass, where Musman’s architecture and Russell’s furnishings contributed to a thoroughly contemporary setting for leisure. Advertised by Gordon Russell in the June 1933 issue of Design for To-Day, the chair can also be identified in period photographs and surviving British Pathé footage of the building. The Elmhirsts selected examples for the dining room of their remodelled London home. They appear in the December 1934 feature on 42 Upper Brook Street in Architecture Illustrated, recording their place within Chermayeff’s interior. Subsequently transferred to Dartington Hall, they connect the couple’s metropolitan life with their wider undertaking in Devon. Their choice also shows how readily a design developed for a public clubroom could find a place in a carefully considered private interior. Chairs by Ernest Brander Musman for Gordon Russell (Lot 40) on display in the Elmhirst’s London home, appearing in Architecture Illustrated, 1934.

Together, these works reveal the discernment behind the Elmhirsts’ patronage. They recognised the achievements of designers working in different settings and gave their furniture a place in their own lives. The surviving photographs are especially compelling in this respect: they

Martha Deese also discusses Dorothy’s acquisition of the table and six chairs in late 1934 or 1935 in her study, Gerald Summers & Marjorie Butcher: Makers of Simple Furniture 1931–1940. Their presence in the studio places them within one of the most creatively active settings on the estate. The ‘CB’, or curved back, chair is a particularly accomplished exercise in making a small amount of material do a great deal. Flat plywood side supports are combined with a moulded backrest, set low enough for the chair to slide beneath a table or desk. From the front, the thin edges of the supports give the chair an almost insubstantial appearance; seen from the side, their profile supplies its distinctive shape. These are practical decisions with a strong visual consequence. Around the ‘ADN’ table, the six chairs formed an ensemble appropriate to the adaptable working space of the theatre studio.

£1,500-2,500

The waste paper cylinder is a well-documented design by Gerald Summers; however, examples incorporating a fitted lid are previously unrecorded, making this an exceptionally rare variant. The addition of the lid transforms the design into a versatile dual-purpose object, allowing it to function equally as a small table or stool. Research has demonstrated that the method of construction is entirely consistent with Summers’ wider body of work. The lid is secured by a recessed plywood disc that fits precisely within the cylinder, employing the same ingenious solution found on Summers’ centre pedestal table, where a plywood disc beneath the upper tier slots securely into the cylindrical pedestal in much the same manner as a cork fitting into a bottle. This distinctive constructional detail provides

compelling evidence that the lid was conceived as an original element of Summers’ design, rather than a later adaptation, further illustrating his continual refinement of existing forms to enhance both functionality and economy of manufacture. The adaptation also reflects Summers’ characteristic approach to design. Throughout his career he continually revisited existing models, refining them to improve practicality while simplifying manufacture. The transformation of the cylinder into a dual-purpose waste paper basket and stool with a fitted lid is entirely in keeping with this philosophy, illustrating his enduring interest in creating versatile, economical furniture through intelligent engineering rather than unnecessary complexity. We would like to thank Martha Deese for her assistance in cataloguing this work.

Unfortunately I have nothing at present in my studio here in Newcastle; but I shall be returning to my home in London in about a fortnight and I will see what I have there….

The picture should not be framed. However, if you do find a frame necessary, the frame should be kept well away from the edges of the painting. To get the best effect, the picture should be hung on a white or near white background…. (18 July 1959) …Many thanks indeed for your letter and cheque. I am delighted that you are all pleased with the painting and I hope when you find a suitable place to hang it, it will continue to give you pleasure.

orderly on the Macedonian front was still vivid and fresh, a Dressing Station at Smol, Macedonia (1919), commissioned by The Ministry of Information and now in the Imperial War Museum. Stylistically, Mules is also closer to Spencer’s more simplified, more roughly painted works of the early 1920s, such as The Last Supper (1920) or The Resurrection, Cookham (1920-1) which wore their child-like facture as a sign of modernity, a break from the old world that died in the mud. As such, Mules could be seen as an independent work, as much as a study, a simple idea simply put, in the loose, frank

letters. The parcel I shall send off this morning. The painting you will find in it is […] oil on paper. The scene is of mules in the “Resurrection of Soldiers” altarpiece painting at Burghclere. These mules have been relieved of their burdens and the objects on the ground are the mules’ pack saddles and lying between the mules are their mounts. A portion of a truss of straw is in the foreground…

This is not to deny, though, that its composition – of serried ranks of mules at rest, their drivers wedged between them, seeking shelter and comfort - is extensively reprised at the top left of the magisterial Resurrection of the Soldiers at Burghclere, where the mules lie on the ground, formulating an undulating sea, much as Nash’s hollowed out Messerschmitts would in his 1941 Totes Meer. But rather than being at rest, as they could be in Mules, one senses now that they too are dead. Amongst them, white crosses sprout up, as the muleteers climb out between their bodies, towards eternal life. In the ‘study’ then, the path between the living and the dead isn’t clear – the discarded saddle in the middle of the composition the only indication of possible violence. Sleep may not be eternal, but instead, to paraphrase Primo Levi, a ‘moment of reprieve’.

Forrest Modern: Early Lighting Designs for Thorn

Forrest Modern Floor Lamp, circa 1952, shown in the 1st Forrest Modern Catalogue, 1953. Reproduced with kind permission of John & Sylvia Reid LLP.

The Reids’ route from exhibition work to commercial lighting can be traced through the Festival tripod lamp. Manufactured by Thorn Electrical Industries, it belonged to a period in which the company was expanding its lighting interests. Thorn had acquired George Forrest & Son in 1950, and in 1952 John designed the Forrest Modern range. Sylvia designed the catalogues. Soon afterwards, they adopted the practice of crediting their architectural and design work jointly. That decision matters when looking back at their careers. Early commissions sometimes carry an individual attribution, but their mature practice was founded on shared authorship. The design of a fitting and the way it was presented to architects, retailers and customers formed parts of the same undertaking. Forrest Modern received coverage in D. Dewar Mills’s ‘Light Fittings’, published in The Architectural Review in November 1952. The article placed the range before an architectural readership at a time when manufacturers were seeking a place in the growing market for contemporary interiors. It also provides a valuable record of the Reids’ lighting before their better-known association with Rotaflex. Rotaflex Lighting: New Materials and Modern Lampshades

freedom of shape. Cellulose acetate filament was wound around a wooden former and bonded to produce a selfsupporting shade, its surface marked by closely spaced ribs. The technique had been patented in 1946 by Danish engineers Bent Højberg-Pedersen and Bent Panker, and was subsequently licensed to manufacturers internationally. Cylinders, globes and elongated forms could be made using the same underlying method. For a designer, the attraction went beyond the outline. The

The Ovoid Lampshade and International Recognition Their ‘Ovoid’ shade received a Council of Industrial Design Designs of the Year award in 1957. Its rounded profile demonstrated how effectively a relatively simple manufacturing process could produce a distinctive domestic object.

Around these designers stood an extensive manufacturing industry. Troughton & Young, Atlas Lighting, Merchant Adventurers, Hiscock & Appleby, G.E.C. and Falk Stadelmann all belong to the broader account. Their presence helps explain the variety of surviving British lighting: sculptural metalwork, translucent plastic shades, adjustable reading lamps and fittings developed for particular architectural uses.

British Lighting in the 1960s: Aluminium and Adjustable Spotlights Nor was the Reids’ lighting confined to translucent plastic. Their adjustable spotlights for Rotaflex received a Design Centre Award in 1961. Natural anodised aluminium housings, black metal components and white enamel demonstrated another aspect of their work: precise adjustment and a careful distinction between materials. These fittings helped connect the domestic experimentation of the 1950s with the more technical architectural lighting of the following decade. Bernard Schottlander’s Mantis Lamps and Peter

in connection with both a manufacturing process and several business names. Original advertisements, catalogues, labels and provenance help establish the identity of an individual fitting. The Reids’ achievement is clearest when their lamps are considered as objects intended for use. Their proportions were judged for rooms, their shades for the light they transmitted, and their structures for the demands of manufacture and adjustment. A Rotaflex pendant can still hold a room through the simplest means: a well-drawn outline, a ribbed surface and the glow of the material itself. Overall the Reids helped give post-war Britain a new way of seeing the modern home through lighting.

Nelson’s Architectural Lighting Other designers approached the same period’s opportunities differently. Bernard Schottlander brought a sculptor’s understanding of balance to his Mantis lamps, conceived in 1951. An admirer of Alexander Calder, he used counterweights, slender metal arms and shaped reflectors to give an adjustable lamp an unusually animated presence. The mechanics were integral to its appearance: the reach of an arm and the poised weight of a shade supplied much of its character. Peter Nelson’s work took a more explicitly engineering-led direction. Having made precision aircraft models, he founded Architectural Lighting in 1961. His aluminium fittings made adjustment and construction readily apparent, with cylindrical heads and economical supports suited to both domestic and professional interiors. The company’s own history records the progression from his early Series S to Series A in 1967.

The Forrest Modern range was selected for inclusion in the Council of Industrial Design’s (CoID) Design Review and exhibited widely internationally, notably at the 10th Milan Triennale in 1954, where it was awarded a silver medal. Retail stockists during the 1950s included Dunns of Bromley, Bowmans of Camden Town, Peter Jones of Sloane Square, Liberty of London, Harrods and Woollands of Knightsbridge. ‘Forrest Modern interchangeable fittings are assembled from a number of basic components to suit your particular requirements, and the only limitations are your imagination and the laws of statics.

Potworowski spent time with Picasso, Bonnard, Cocteau and Brancusi, as well as doing a short stint working at Léger›s studio. It was through this job that he met his first wife Magdalena Makowska, an anthropology student. They married in Paris but returned to Poland in 1930.

In 1996 a major retrospective exhibition was held at the Polish National Gallery of Contemporary Art in Warsaw and his work is held in major institutions in both Poland and Britain, including Tate, Victoria Art Gallery, Bath and The Royal West of England Academy, Bristol.

£15,000-25,000

Edward Seago (1910–1974) was a leading figure in twentieth-century British landscape painting, working in both oil and watercolour to capture coastal and urban scenes, as well as landscapes encountered throughout his extensive travels. Largely self-taught, his distinctive style combined the immediacy of late Impressionism with a keen observational eye, resulting in compositions that remain firmly rooted in the reality of the places he saw. Particularly sensitive to subtle shifts in colour, light and weather, Seago could evoke an atmosphere with remarkably fluid and spontaneous brushwork.

Evening in the Place de la Concorde, Paris is a particularly lively expression of this fascination. Rather than concentrating on the monumental architecture of the square, Seago lowers the horizon and devotes much of the composition to an expansive evening sky. Broad, loosely worked passages of cream, grey and pale blue capture the luminous and transient quality of clouds as they drift. Against this soft modulation, the buildings which boarder the square are rendered in silhouette with remarkable simplicity, their increasingly indistinct forms creating an almost abstract sense of aerial perspective.

Paris became an important subject for Seago during the 1950s and 1960s. Between 1951 and 1967 he made eight major painting expeditions to France, frequently travelling aboard his yacht and floating studio, Capricorn. Sailing across the Channel and along the Seine, he would stop at Dieppe, Honfleur and Rouen before reaching Paris, seeking for what he recounted as ‘an endless search for explanations and discovery’. There, the Champs-Élysées, Tuileries Gardens and Place de la Concorde became recurring subjects, providing Seago with the compelling combination of grand architecture, bustling city life and ever-changing light that so fascinated him.

The characteristic bustle of the Place de la Concorde has not been overlooked. Cars and clusters of figures animate the lower edge of the panel; their forms conveyed through deft dabs of paint. Seago’s expressive brushwork lends the foreground an almost flickering quality, capturing the constant movement and vivacity of the city he so adored.

WORKS FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE NAOMI E.A. TARRANT (1942-2025)

Works from the Collection of The Late Naomi E.A. Tarrant (1942-2025) As Curator of European Costume and Textiles at National Museums of Scotland, 1974-2002, Naomi Tarrant was a renowned expert in the field of textiles. The author of five major books on the subject, she had a particular passion for Scottish samplers, and became an authority not just in their craftsmanship, but also their place in social and genealogical history. Born in Murree, British Punjab (now Pakistan) in 1942, she later studied History at Leicester University, graduating in 1964, after which she received her Museums Association Diploma in 1970. Tarrant worked as a curator in various museums throughout her career, including the London Museum at Kensington Palace, before taking her position at the National Museums of Scotland in the 1970s. Her keen eye for design and craftsmanship transcended the world of textiles, enabling her to curate a personal collection of modern jewellery and design. The collection comprises lots 284-300, 303, and 311.

By registering to bid and/or by bidding at auction You agree to these terms, we recommend that You read them carefully before doing so. You will find a list of definitions and a glossary at the end providing explanations for the meanings of the words and expressions used. Special terms may be used in Catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms, etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the Catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. “You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. On occasion where Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. own a lot in part or full the property will be identified in the catalogue with the symbol (🄰) next to its lot number.

A. BEFORE THE SALE A1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS Whilst 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 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. Please note that photographs/images provided may not be fully representative of the condition of the Lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the Lot. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.

A2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS 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.

A3. 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.

A4. 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.
