Summers Place Auctions Ltd

Home and Garden Conversation Pieces

We’ve had a lot of fun putting together this early Spring sale and been very fortunate in securing some interesting private collections.

The sale is particularly strong in 20th century garden sculpture, showcasing both established and upcoming sculptors. As with so many areas of collecting, tastes have expanded from the purely antique to 20th century design and sculpture which is now becoming a hot ticket, with opportunities to acquire pieces by recognised living sculptors for substantially less than gallery prices. Included are works

by David Williams-Ellis, Mark Coreth, Dylan Lewis, Paul Vanstone, Ian Rank Broadley, Guy Portelli, and Michael Speller, to name but a few.

As sculpture specialists, used to dealing with solid assets, we view the recent fluctuating fortunes of crypto-currencies like Bitcoin with both bafflement and amusement. Do you invest in the ethereal or the physical….? We may be biased, BUT, for anyone wanting to make a BIG statement, it doesn’t get better than the pair of 13 foot long bronze “Trafalgar Square” lions, recently liberated from Camden Lock Market together with eight other monumental bronze horse sculptures.

Whilst on the subject of monumental, and in light of the recent film, “The Darkest Hour”, we are also offering no 3/6 of the limited edition over life size bronze busts of Sir Winston Churchill, taken from the original in Parliament Square, London, under licence from the Trustees of the sculptor, Ivor Roberts-Jones.

We’ve always been particularly keen on the “Toys for Boys” element of our sales and so to even up the global balance of power, from Churchill’s Britain to across the Iron Curtain, we are including some Cold War military hardware, headed up by a rare Soviet SA-4 Ganef missile, dating to the 1960’s and nearly 9 metres in length….no home complete without one!

You may wonder how we manage to display this wonderful diversity of objects. As well as having 6 acres of Victorian landscaped gardens, we also have a custom built 5000 sq ft gallery…(see our map). There is nowhere else on the planet where you can view rockets next to a family of Ice Age Mammoth skeletons, which are also in the sale.

We’ve always believed that Mother Nature herself is the best artist of all and the glittering minerals and fossils, often hundreds of millions of years old are increasingly popular in modern interiors. However, although stuffed animals isn’t everyone’s bag, for a real flight of fancy, you have the opportunity to own a very rare and now extinct passenger pigeon, once America’s most populous bird.

Come and pay us a visit in the glorious Sussex countryside… don’t be put off by the official viewing times; if you want to come any weekday before the sale, just let us know and there will be a cup of tea or coffee waiting….

If you can’t make it, then browse the lots on our brand new interactive tablet/phone friendly website. We are happy to provide condition reports on any lot on request.

Happy hunting James and Rupert

The following 12 lots and lot 29 in the live sale were recently removed from the world famous Camden Lock Market in London. They were all originally commissioned in the early 1990’s as fixtures in the old stables 3 storey indoor market hall designed by architect John Dickinson.

Camden Lock Market is situated by the Regent’s Canal on a site formerly occupied by warehouses and other premises associated with the canal. By the early 1970s the canal trade had ceased and a northern urban motorway was planned that would cut through the site, making any major permanent redevelopment impossible, and in 1974 a temporary market was established. By 1976, when plans for the motorway were abandoned, the market had become a well-known feature of Camden Town. Originally, the Lock was a market for crafts, occupying some outdoor areas by the canal and various existing buildings. It attracted large numbers of visitors partly due to stalls being open on Sundays, when previous to the Sunday Trading Act 1994, shops were not permitted to operate on Sundays. It is now the fourth-most popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend.

In 1991 a three-storey indoor market hall designed by

architect John Dickinson was opened on the site of the first outdoor market. In the style of the traditional 19th century industrial architecture and housing in the area, it is built of brick and cast iron.

From 2006 a large indoor market hall was constructed in a yard between the Camden Lock Market and the Stables Market that was previously used for open air stalls. In November 2007 a large part of the Stables Market was demolished as part of a long-term redevelopment plan for the area and rebuilt as a year-round permanent market area.

465 † After John Cheere: A painted lead figure of a shepherdess modern 137cm high John Cheere was first in partnership with his brother Sir Henry Cheere, but took over John Nost’s yard and his moulds for lead figures in about 1739. Until his death in 1787 he was the leading producer of lead statuary.

Contemporary accounts of his yard, which was situated on Hyde Park Corner indicate that his oeuvre was very varied and included rustic figures as well as classical statues and busts from antiquity. During the 18th Century, masked balls or fete champetres set in Arcadian settings of country houses or in London’s Ranelagh and Vauxhall pleasure gardens, were immensely popular. These were attended by fashionable society dressed as milkmaids, fruit and flower girls or in the costume of the commedia dell’arte. Most popular of all, however, were the costumes of a shepherd or shepherdess. Numerous contemporary references to their popularity remain. The Spectator of 1711 recounts: “There is not a girl in town but let her have her will in going to a masque and she shall dress as a shepherdess.” J.T. Smith in his “Life of Nollekens” tells of a visit he paid with Nollekens and his wife to an old lady, “quite the old school,” who lived near Hamstead Heath.” Her evergreens were cut into the shapes of various birds, and Cheere’s leaden painted figures of a Shepherd and Shepherdess were objects of as much admiration with her neighbours as they were with my Lord Ogleby, who thus accosts his friend in the second scene of the popular current comedy ‘Clandestine Marriage’: ‘Great improvements, indeed Mr Stirling, Wonderful Improvements! .......You have as many figures as the man at Hyde Park Corner” A similar figure may be seen in the recently restored Grecian Valley at Stowe where a circle of shepherds and shepherdesses surround a bronze Faun. £2000-3000

469 S Maida Crowe A carved Forest of Dean stone figure 203cm high Maida Crowe was born in Axminster, Devon in 1915.

After a private education, she studied at the City and Guilds of London Art School from 1957-1962. She became a member of the Free Painters and Sculpture movement working in both wood and stone. Established in 1952, FPS was originally associated with the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Arts). Founding members featured many high profile and influential artists, including Roy Rasmussen, Lyall Watson and Maurice Jadot. FPS played a significant part in the establishment of abstract art in the 1950’s and 60’s and was the first of a number of post war movements that freed artists from the orthodoxy of rigid and purely technical judgements.

In 1981 there was an exhibition of sculpture by Maida Crowe in Southwark Cathedral.

Roy Rasmussen in the preface to the History of Free Painters and Sculptors commented; “Her wood carvings were at home in any modern collection, and graced many FPS exhibitions. But the deeper implication of her sculptures was religious, and for her it was appropriate that they should be shown in the place where she worshipped. She worked mainly on a scale of two to six feet. Her sculptures were not overtly religious; she did not use obvious religious symbols.

A woman who was comfortable and tolerant in the company of diverse opinions, she could reveal a sparkling humour.”

“She was passionately involved in the endless debate over forms of modern expression. She described her own work as an inward search.”

She showed at the RBA as well as in the provinces and had solo exhibitions at the Cockpit and Loggia galleries.

A copy of Maida Crowe’s book of her work; First and Last: A Search for Meaning, A Spiritual Journey Through Sculpture in 1994 is included in this lot which gives a full account of the carving of this statue and the placing of it in her garden. £2000-4000

Isayev was

granted his own section of OKB in 1947 which became known as OKB-2, these both came under the umbrella of the scientific research institute of the Ministry of Aviation. Isayev focused on small liquid fuel rockets which powered much of the soviet space programme between 1957-1967 and his engines powered the vehicles carrying the first artificial satellites, the first unmanned probes to the Moon and Venus and the world’s first unmanned spacecraft, the Vostok. He also worked in the development of surface to air missiles and air to sea missiles, his most famous being the R-11 “Scud”.

509 A rare SA-4 “Ganef” missile circa 1968 878cm long, overall width including fins 274cm The 2K11 Krug (NATO code SA-4 Ganef) is a Soviet-made medium-range air defence missile. The development of the system started in 1958. The first version, Krug-A, entered service in 1967, with extensively modified versions, the Krug-M in 1971 and the Krug-M1 in 1974, which were developed to rectify problems discovered during army service. It was first unveiled during a military parade in Moscow in May 1965. Modified versions, the Krug-M in 1971 and the Krug-M1 in 1974 were developed to rectify problems discovered during army service. The 2K11 was briefly operated by the Soviet army during the war in Afghanistan in 1979 and 1980, but was withdrawn several months after the initial invasion. In 1997, it was reported that, between 1993

and 1996, some 27 fire units of Krug and 349 missiles had been sold to Armenia.

Each TEL (Transporter Erector Launcher) SA-4 Ganef 2P24 (2P24M for the Krug-M version) consists of a tracked armoured chassis on top of which is mounted a hydraulically operated turntable carrying two missiles.

The launcher can be traversed through 360º and the missiles elevated up to an angle of 45º on their launcher arms for launching.

The missiles are launched with the aid of four solid fuel rocket motors inside boosters attached to the outside of the missile. Once they have burned and the missile is aloft, a liquid-fuelled ramjet sustainer engine is ignited.

It reaches speeds of up to Mach 4 and has an effective range of 50-55 km (31-34 miles) depending upon the version. It carries a 135 kg (300 lb) fragmentation warhead. Possible engagement altitudes range from 100 m to 27 km (330-88,500 feet). £15,000-25,000

510 A Lapis Lazuli veneered roundel modern, 80cm diameter Lapis lazuli is found in a very small area of Badakhshan in Afghanistan and the vein has been continuously quarried for over 3000 years. The striking blue colour of lapis lazuli has been admired and coveted since the earliest days of civilization. The ancient Egyptians prized it highly and throughout antiquity it was considered more valuable than gold. Its use as jewellery or crushed and used as a pigment were signs of extreme wealth. The ancient Egyptians used it as a pigment notably in their renditions of the night sky on tomb roofs as famously seen in Tutankhamun’s tomb and inlaid on his funeral mask. By the Middle Ages it had reached Europe and was used to produce Ultramarine the most expensive of paint colours. Wealthy patrons would supply it to artists and

prescribe exactly how much of the painting should be blue as a demonstrating of their power and wealth.

These lots from the Sar-eSang mine deposits are of unusual large size and weight.

Here, he catered to Dukes and Duchesses, the rich and famous, and sportsmen the world over. He was so successful, and his reputation so great, that following his own death in 1912, the company he founded stayed in business for another 60 years, despite the general decline in interest in taxidermy through the twentieth century. During this period, the ďŹ rm employed hundreds of workers, and was always renowned for the high quality of the work produced and the top quality standards maintained by its employees. Ward himself made many innovations in terms of taxidermy, and always maintained that a good taxidermist was not simply a craftsman but an artist and that he or she should be regarded as nothing less.

The following are examples of the terminology used in this catalogue. Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date, age provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact.

In our opinion a work executed in the style of the renaissance but not necessarily of that period.

Please read carefully the terms of the Authenticity Guarantee and the Conditions of Business for Buyers set out in this catalogue.

Antonio Canova In our opinion a work by the artist. In the case of 19th century sculpture this indicates that the work was made in our opinion either by the artist or by a foundry or editor who had the rights to reproduce the artist’s original model either during the artist’s lifetime or for a defined posthumous period. (When the artist’s forenames are not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named).

Attributed to Antonio Canova In our opinion probably a work by the artist but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category.

The term signed and/or dated and/or inscribed means that in our opinion the signature and/or date and/or inscription are original to the model or authorized by the sculptor’s studio or editor but not necessarily from the hand of the artist.

The term bearing the signature and/or date and/or inscription means that in our opinion the signature and/ or date and/ or inscription have been added at a later date.

Dimensions are given height before width Condition of lots Condition is only noted in the catalogue where an item is severely distressed. Prospective purchasers making commission bids without viewing the sale can be given condition reports on any lot on request.

Manner of Antonio Canova In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date After Antonio Canova In our opinion a copy at a later date of a known work by the artist. In the 19th century this indicates that in our opinion the work was made by a foundry or editor at a later date and apparently without exclusive rights.

Italian 18th century In our opinion a work from that region and of that date.

Probably Italian 18th century In our opinion a work that is likely to be from that region and/or of that date but less certainty as to the region and/or date than is expressed in the preceding category.

If Summers Place Auctions Ltd sells an item which subsequently is shown to be a “counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Summers Place Auctions Ltd will set aside the sale and refund to the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Summers Place Auctions Ltd for the item, in the currency of the original sale.

(ii) return the item to Summers Place Auctions Ltd in the same condition as at the date of sale to the Buyer and be able to transfer good title in the item, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

For these purposes, “counterfeit” means a lot that in Summers Place Auctions Ltd reasonable opinion is an imitation created to deceive as to authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue (taking into account any Glossary of Terms). No lot shall be considered a counterfeit by reason only of any damage and/ or restoration and/or modification work of any kind (including repainting or over-painting).

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinion(s) of scholar(s) and expert(s) at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely to have caused damage to the lot or likely (in Summers Place Auctions Ltd reasonable opinion) to have caused loss of value to the lot; or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description.

This Guarantee is provided for a period of five (5) years after the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the Buyer and may not be transferred to any third party.

3. Before the Auction Pre-sale Estimates Pre-sale estimates are intended as a guide for prospective buyers but all lots can realise prices above or below the pre-sale estimates. Seller’s confidential reserves are set no higher than the low pre-sale estimates, except in the rare circumstance in which the reserve has been set in a foreign currency and the exchange rate has fluctuated.

It is advisable to consult us nearer the time of sale as estimates can be subject to revision. The estimates printed in the auction catalogue do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT. Provenance In certain circumstances, Summers Place Auctions Ltd may print in the catalogue the history of ownership of a work of art if such information contributes to scholarship or is otherwise well known and assists in distinguishing the work of art. However, the identity of the seller or previous owners may not be disclosed for a variety of reasons. For example, such information may be excluded to accommodate a seller’s request for confidentiality or because the identity of prior owners is unknown given the age of the work of art.

You can also e-mail the completed sealed bid form to sealedbids@summersplaceauctions.com Next give us your bid(s). This can be done by filling in the bidding slip found in your catalogue.

If you are sending your bidding slip to Summers Place Auctions by post, please mark the envelope “Sealed Bid” so that we know it contains a sealed bid and do not open it accidentally. Bids and IDs may also be sent by e-mail. If you choose to send the bid electronically please email sealedbids@summersplaceauctions.com. This is a closed mailbox and will not be opened before the advertised time. However, we strongly recommend that if you have not viewed the sale in person, that you ask for condition reports on any lots you are thinking of leaving bids on.

Sealed bid auctions differ from established auctions in that the bid left is the bid that will be exercised in full. Therefore, if you decide to leave a bid of, say, £900 on the lot estimated at £800-1000 and there is no higher bid (where two identical bids are received, the earliest received bid will take precedence), £900 will secure the lot subject to buyer’s premium and VAT on the premium.

We will contact you if you have been the successful bidder to inform you of the lot or lots that you have purchased, so that you can make payment and make arrangements for delivery. We have had many years of experience dealing with both UK carriers and international shippers and are happy to obtain quotations and facilitate transport and shipping of single lots and multiple purchases to anywhere in the world.

Bids will be opened on Thursday 22nd March; and sales results will appear on the Summers Place Auctions website. Please be mindful that we will have to process a large number of bids, which does take time. However, we will endeavour to get this accomplished as quickly as possible and will expect to have the results of the sale posted by the end of the day.

If you have never bid in a sealed bid sale before, here are some things to be aware of as regards leaving bids for this auction: Every lot in the sale has a fixed reserve, (the minimum price for which the lot can be sold) and this is never above the low estimate, it can be slightly below, but in the vast majority of cases it is the low estimate.

The highest bid (as long as it is on or above the reserve) will be the winning bid. This is the ‘hammer price’ that the lot will be sold for.

You should consider leaving a bid of an odd amount in pounds, for example, rather that bidding £1,000, try say £1,004, as many lots have been bought for the sake of the odd £1!

You can tailor your bid in ways that are impossible to do in a live auction. For example, if you really like three lots, but only need one, and the piece you like the most is later in the sale, simply mark your order of preference. As long as your instructions are clear, having looked at any other bids left on the lots, we will do our best to comply with your preferences.

In the event of two identically highest bids, the earliest bid received will take precedence.

An auction price is made up of different components; the winning bid is called the ‘hammer price’; A commission, which is in addition to the ‘hammer price’ is payable to the auctioneers.

This is known as the buyers premium, on which VAT is payable. Lots marked with S are subject to Artist Resale Right (ARR), which is 4% of the “hammer price”. All lots that have additional VAT are clearly marked in the catalogue with a †.
