MOUNT CONGREVE

AND THE CONGREVE FAMILY The Congreve family has played a leading part in the history of Waterford city and county over eight generations and nearly four centuries. The name is derived from Congreve in Staffordshire, which was their principal seat from the 14th century. The family has produced several celebrities, including: • William Congreve the poet and dramatist, born at Bardsey, Yorkshire, in 1670 (he lived for some years in Ireland when his father was stationed here as an army officer); • Sir William Congreve, 1st Bart, who made improvements in the manufacture of gunpowder; • His son Sir William Congreve, 2nd Bart, inventor of the Congreve Rocket, the Congreve Clock, and much else; • Sir Walter Congreve, awarded the VC in the Boer War and later a vigorous corps commander in the First World War (his elder son, also awarded a VC, was killed at the Somme).

The first of the family to settle in the Waterford area was the Rev. John Congreve, rector of Kilmacow, co. Kilkenny, who died in 1710. His son, the first Ambrose Congreve, played a leading part in the affairs of Waterford City: he erected a dry dock for the repair of boats and a bridge over St Catherine’s Pill; served as Mayor in 1736-37; and was the first of three generations of his family to represent Waterford at the Irish parliament in Dublin. He also bought or rented from the Corporation a considerable amount of property in the city and liberties.

In 1741 Ambrose died leaving a young son and heir John. Two years later his widow married Dr John Whetcombe, Bishop of Clonfert and later Archbishop of Cashel. Whetcombe was a noted biblical scholar, and several of the books in Mount Congreve Library bear his bookplate.

In 1758 John Congreve, son of Ambrose, married Mary Ussher, of the Kilmeaden branch of that family. They had two sons. John, the elder, lived at Landscape near Carrickbeg and died unmarried in 1801 (after his death Landscape was rented by a cousin, the celebrated politician and duellist William Congreve Alcock; a later tenant was the infamous Captain Boycott). The younger, Ambrose Ussher Congreve, succeeded his father.

The elder John continued his father’s acquisition of land near Waterford City. In particular, he acquired in 1759 the lease of property belonging to the Christmas family of Whitfield. Here he settled, and two years later we find him described as “of Mount Congreve”. We may therefore assign the building of the house to about 1760, and an account-book in the Mount Congreve archives shows that the builder was the Waterford architect John Roberts. (Of all Roberts’s buildings in and around Waterford, including the two cathedrals, this is the only one of which we have direct evidence of his involvement.)

John assembled the Mount Congreve Library, and many of the older volumes bear his bookplate, comprising the arms of Congreve impaling those of Ussher. His grandson and namesake compiled a catalogue of the library; of which he had some copies printed locally in 1827 (See Lots 770, & 779); to his own copy he added further acquisitions made down to his death in 1863.

Superbly restored in recent times, the library forms an interesting and valuable collection.

John and both his sons were enthusiastic supporters of the Volunteer movement and participated in the affairs of the Irish parliament.

The rebellion of 1798 and the Act of Union in 1801, however, put an end to these activities.

Ambrose Ussher Congreve died in 1809 and was succeeded by his son John, who in 1827 married Louisa Dillon of the Clonbrock family. Their son and heir, the third Ambrose Congreve, succeeded to the estate in 1863 and married his first cousin Alice Dillon of Clonbrock. Life at Mount Congreve during their time is depicted in the photographs of the Clonbrock Collection, some of which featured in the National Library’s recent “Power and Privilege” exhibition in Temple Bar. Their son, Major John Congreve, succeeded his father in 1901, and married Lady Irène Ponsonby, daughter of Edward Viscount Duncannon, later eighth Earl of Bessborough. Lady Bessborough’s mother was the redoubtable Lady Charlotte Schreiber. Her first husband was Sir Josiah John Guest, (See Lot 71), manager of the Dowlais Iron Works near Merthyr Tydvil, which became the largest of its kind in the world. After her husband’s death she took over complete management of the works. Then in 1855 she married Charles Schreiber, a classical scholar, left Dowlais, and together with her husband travelled Europe collecting objets d’art, especially ceramics, (See Lot 200).

Ambrose Christian Congreve, only son of Major John and Lady Irène, was born in 1907. Having worked for Unilever in England and China, he married in 1935 Marjorie Glasgow, whose father was one of the two founders of Humphreys and Glasgow. After his marriage Mr Congreve joined the firm, and in 1935 he took over its complete management; he remained chairman for many years, greatly expanding its capabilities. In 1965 he was created a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (Civil Division), and in 1967 was elected an honorary member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers, an acknowledgement of his unique contribution to British chemical engineering.

On taking over Mount Congreve he fully restored and modernised it, taking up residence there in 1968. He also progressed the development of the gardens, which had been a lifelong interest. He had begun planting with his father in his late teens, inspired by Lionel de Rothschild’s garden at Exbury. Lorry-loads of plants arrived, carriage paid by de Rothschild, including the newly discovered Rhododendron sinogrande. In 1955 Mr Congreve began to make large clearings in the woodlands to create the necessary conditions where the plants thrive.

The garden comprises around seventy acres of intensively planted woodland garden and a four-acre walled garden, and is said to have the largest collection of plants grown out of doors in Europe. In 1987 Mr Congreve was awarded a Veitch Memorial Medal by the Royal Horticultural Society, and in 2001 a Gold Medal by the Horticultural Society of Massachusetts, who classified Mount Congreve as a Great Garden of the World.

Mr Congreve also developed the farm and bred a large dairy herd of Friesian cattle. Garden, nursery and farm have given employment to many, in good times and in bad, and Mr Congreve was respected as an employer who would value and reward loyalty and honest work.

A conscientious member of the Anglican Communion, Mr Congreve devoted considerable financial resources down the years to the improvement of the local churches, in particular Waterford Cathedral and Kilmeaden Parish Church.

Mr Congreve died on 24 May 2011 aged 104, the eighth generation of his family to enhance the life of Waterford. They have well served the family motto: Non moritur cujus fama vivit – “He does not die whose good name lives on.”

200 THE SCHREIBER COLLECTION

Lady Charlotte Schreiber

Lady Charlotte Schreiber, direct ancestor of the Congreves of Mount Congreve, was noteworthy both for her expertise in ceramics and her collection of same, found during her “china mania” travels throughout Europe with her second husband, Charles Schreiber. The voyage lasted from 1869 until shortly after Charles Schreiber’s death in 1884.

Born Lady Charlotte Elizabeth Bertie to Albermarle Bertie, the ninth Earl of Lindsey, and his second wife, Charlotte Susanna Elizabeth (Layard) in 1812, Lady Charlotte began keeping personal journals at the age of nine, soon after the marriage of her mother to the Reverend Peter Parsons, three years after the death of her father. An accomplished and influential writer in her adulthood, Lady Charlotte would eventually keep a journal over the next seventy years, and her personal accounts of the 15-year ceramic expeditions would be published.

It was not only ceramics that captured her interest and enthusiasm; she is widely known for her translation of the set of Welsh myths and legends called Mabiogion. Although the education of girls was discouraged by her stepfather, as a girl, Lady Charlotte taught herself French and Italian, and with the help of her brother’s tutors, learned Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Persian and later studied archaeology and medieval history and legends.

On July 29 1833, at the age of twenty-one, Lady Charlotte married Josiah John Guest, a successful ironmaster and the first Member of Parliament from the town of Merthyr Tydfil, Wales and moved near to the Dowlais Iron Company. Lady Charlotte was a driving force behind John Guest’s political career; she lobbied for him, spoke to the locals in the Welsh language and wrote on his behalf. A pillar for the community, Lady Charlotte’s social activism was a positive influence on both the welfare and rights of workers and the quality of education of the community. Her many gifts to the Welsh community included, but were not limited to: helping re-organise the system so that children fourteen and under could remain in school; opening a night school for working men and women; and focusing on educating illiterate young country women who came to work in the iron industry.

In 1855, three years after Sir John’s death, Lady Charlotte married Cambridge scholar Charles Schreiber, who over the course of fifteen years accompanied Lady Charlotte through Europe, collecting china, antique playing cards and fans.

Spanning sixteen years over two volumes, Lady Charlotte kept a now published and illustrated journal of her ceramics-related travels throughout Europe and the Middle East. The tone of her writing is energetic and thorough; the content sprinkled with the names of the known ceramics dealers and experts of England, The Netherlands, Germany and France, and the aristocrats who shared her interests and were her good friends. Lady Charlotte herself became an established authority on identifying markings and recognizing forgeries.

After Charles Schreiber died in March 1884, Lady Charlotte catalogued the entire collection of fans, antique playing cards, and ceramics, and donated these to the South Kensington Museum and the British Museum. Her impressive collection of salt-glaze ceramics, including the Spanish cabinets where the collection her most unusual discoveries were stored by Lady Schreiber herself, are now offered to the public for the first time a single lot collection, together with the two volumes of Lady Charlotte’s journals.

(3) Provenance: with Partridge, London.

Literature: Partridge - Recent Acquisitions, 1994, p. 70, no. 29. The C-couronné poinçon was a tax mark on any alloy containing copper used between March 1745 and February 1749. A garniture of three vases of simialr outline, which features a central vase with almost identical handles and foot was in the collection of the Princes Colonna at the Palazzo Colonna in Rome (illustrated on top of a lacquer bombé commode by Dubois D. Cooper, Great family Collections, Zurich, 1965, p.24). The shell and coral finial surmounting these vases first featured on the lid of a sucrier from the Nécessaire de voyage of Queen Marie Lescynska, hallmarked for 1729-30. As an ormolu mount, the finial appeared on a pair of vases in the Gaillard de Gagny sale, 29 March 1762, lot 41: ‘le dessus des couvercles est enrichi d’une platforme en ornement avec du corail, & une espece de conque de Triton’; as well as on a pair of Japanese lacquer bowls believed to have come from the collection of Madame du Pompadour at the Château de Bellvue and now in the Louvre (P. Verlet, Les Bronzes Dorés Français du XVIIIe siècle, Paris, 1987, fig. 165, p. 127). Further related finials appear on European and Oriental porcelain including a pair of covered bowls in the Wallace Collection (F115-6: P. Hughes ed., The Wallace Collection, London, 1996, col. II, pp. 1361-5, no. 279); a pot-pourri in the Wrightsman Collection in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (F.J.B.

Provenance: Anonymous Sale, Christie’s London, 3 December 1964, lot 167. The very rare stamp ‘Lalbertaut’ is recorded on three other tables: a pair sold by Mrs. Biddle, Galerie Charpentiere, Paris 15 December 1959, lot 88 and a single table sold Christie’s, New York, 19 October 2007, lot 259. The 1959 Paris sale catalogue suggested that the stamp belonged to a sculptor named ‘Bertaut’ who worked for the Court. Records show that a Laurent Lalbertaut was married to Anne Cavillé and his profession was noted as maître menuisier; their son also named Laurent, was born in Paris on 3 July 1752. The label is that of William Freeman, a cabinet-maker and dealer in Norwich. The address post-dates 1830 and the firm existed until circa 1850.
