The following 183 Lots are being offered for sale on behalf of the celebrated Emmen Zoo in the far north of Holland.

Alongside its living inhabitants, the zoo established a museum to chart the evolution of life through the fossil record, and this museum contained a remarkably wide range of specimens.

Formed primarily in the 1980’s and early 90’s, many of the exhibits were acquired when certain fossils were more freely available than they are

today. Indeed, some of the specimens being offered represent a chance to acquire fossils that are no longer allowed to be exported from their native countries. Backed by the financial power of the zoo, the museum was able to buy the best specimens that could be found.

Today, a new much larger and far more modern zoo has been built on the edge of the Emmen city centre where the animals are rehoused in more spacious and more natural surroundings. With this

change in focus, the museum – sadly – did not fit into a new ‘wildlands’ concept, and so a reluctant decision was made to sell its contents along with many of the watercolour illustrations that were used for the production of literature and museum signs. These extraordinary watercolour and pen and ink drawings will be offered in two parts, the first in this auction and the remainder in September. Most of the lots, unless otherwise stated, are being offered

on a no reserve basis which will add to the excitement of this extraordinary auction with its collection of truly rare and important specimens.

Perhaps the most celebrated find was the uncovering of the famous Archaeopteryx, which was discovered at around the time when Charles Darwin was publishing The Origin of Species – and in many ways it helped to confirm his theory as it showed the evolutionary connection between reptiles and birds. The species was scientifically named Archaeopteryx lithographica as a reminder that Solnhofen fossils are found in lithographic stone, for it was here, using the local stone, that the process of lithography was developed. But bird fossils aren’t the only important specimens found here. Dinosaurs, crocodiles, turtles, pterosaurs, insects, and all kinds of marine creatures are found beautifully preserved in stone that is around 160 million years old.

51

The Santana Formation of Brazil was formed during the Cretaceous Period around 90 million years ago. Pterosaurs, dinosaurs, and insects have been found in the rocks, but it is the wonderfully preserved fossil fish for which the formation is most famous, and these often show the whole creature in perfect detail. Nowadays the export of Santana fossils is banned and the only examples available are those that left Brazil before the ban was imposed. This ban, which was imposed with the best of intentions, has unfortunately proved counter-productive.

Mining activities for the production of cement and building materials constantly uncover new fossils, but due to the ban these are now usually crushed along with the rest of the rocks and are therefore lost forever. ÂŁ400-600 50 A similar large fossil fish Santana formation, Brazil, Cretaceous

60 A rare Palaeochiropteryx bat fossil Messel Pits, Germany, Middle Eocene 16cm.; 6½ins by 13cm.; 5ins Near to the village of Messel, not far from Frankfurt in Germany, is a now disused quarry, and the resulting pit was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site during 1995.

The reason for this was the wonderfully preserved fossils that could be found

18

61

there. However, there was a serious problem with the fossils. Once uncovered and exposed to the air, these fossils would steadily disintegrate and in a short period of time all that would be left was a pile of dust. Then, a complex process was developed that would allow the fossils to be safely preserved. They are painstakingly removed from their original matrix and carefully placed on an entirely artificial one, and this prevents the degeneration process.

The resulting specimen shows the creatures’ remains in the most remarkable detail. The Messel pits, containing fossils that are around 50 million years old, is now robustly protected and the only fossils available to collectors are those found and preserved in the short period of time between the discovery of the preservation process and the governmental protection to which the site is now subject. £1000-1500

82 A rare fossilised Sabre tooth cat, probably Hoplophoneus primaevus North America, late Eocene/early Oligocene 120cm.; 47ins long Sabre toothed cats evolved over a considerable period of time and several different genus’ the principle ones being the Nimravids and the

Smilodons, producing six and three species respectively. The most famous “Smilodon” or the sabre tooth tiger is now recognized as three different species each being termed sabre toothed cats and evolved much later in the Pleistocene (2.5 m.y.a. 10,000 years ago) The Nimravids were a much earlier genus of sabre tooth cats dating from the

middle Eocene to late Miocene. They have now been classified in their own family the Barbourofelids.

The Nimravids were first described by Edward Drinker Cope in 1880. It is believed the Nimravids were forest dwellers and probably lead similar lives to modern day leopards.

Their disappearance from the fossil record follows the change in north America from forest to a more

savanna like landscape, the family surviving longest in Europe.

Hoplophoneus was the largest toothed of the Nimravids and lived in North America between the late Eocene and early Oligocene. Its limbs were shorter than modern day cats and like the smilodons it had a pronounced flange on the lower jaw. £5000-8000

86 Freya: A fossilised Hypacrosaurus stebingeri Montana, late Cretaceous 3.1m.; 122ins high by 7.1m.; 279½ins long Mounted in 1993 by Canada fossils, this very good example is largely complete.

The word Hypacrosaurus translates as meaning ‘nearly the highest lizard’, and this name was given because it was felt that

this dinosaur was almost as tall as a Tyrannosaur.

Despite the curious connection, this species has no connection with the famous predatory carnivore and it is, in fact, a member of the duckbill dinosaur group – a group that has a number of members all of which fed largely on vegetable matter. Hypacrosaurus stebingeri lived in the areas we now call Alberta and Montana in North America between 75 and

65 million years ago, which means it was among the last dinosaur species to survive. There are specimens in the Tokyo Museum and the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Canada, but this particular example is in a remarkably complete state and presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a fantastically well preserved dinosaur. £50,000-80,000 This lot has a reserve 29

195 A rare Georgian lead cistern dated 1728 back and sides replaced in the 19th century and now with side bronze tap 90cm.; 36ins high by 180cm.; 71ins long by 76cm.; 30ins deep Lead cisterns became popular in the 17th and

18th centuries as a means of storing rainwater from roofs. Often situated in courtyards, they are one of the very few examples of garden ornament to often bear a date, often supplemented as in this example, with the initials of the owner.

The front and sides were cast in one long rectangular panel in a sand pit with the

decoration made through carved wooden strapwork mouldings, letters and numbers together with any other decorative features pressed into the sand before the lead was poured in. This would often include armorial devices relating to the family, or in this instance, a nautical theme with stylised dolphins and scallop shells.

It would seem likely that the back and sides of this cistern have been adapted, probably over 100 years ago, since the bronze tap which usually is in the bottom centre of the front panel, is now located at the side. ÂŁ5000-8000

197 A rare Blashfield stoneware fountain figure of a triton circa 1870 stamped Blashfield Patent Pottery 91cm.; 36ins high John Marriott Blashfield, remarked in his essay Account of the History and Manufacture of Ancient and Modern Terracotta (1855) that he had been inspired to make a kind of artificial stoneware by seeing the kind of pieces for which Mark Blanchard had been awarded prizes at the Great Exhibition of 1851. He obtained Letters Patent in 1854 for “Improvements in the Manufacture of China, Pottery, Bricks” and other articles, made for the most part from clay and again in 1860 for “improvements in burning pottery and china ware”. He had a manufactory in Millwall, Poplar with a sales outlet at No. 1 Praed Street, Edgware Road, London, but moved to Stamford, Lincolnshire in 1859, to be nearer the clay-beds. He won medals for Terra Cotta, in the glass and pottery and architectural objects classes at the International Exhibition in 1862 and a silver medal at the Paris International Exhibition of 1867.

One of the most important commissions with which he was involved was supplying architectural terracotta for the decoration of the new Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, but this undertaking stretched his resources too far and by 1874 the Stamford Terracotta Company works, machinery as well as models and moulds were for sale; it finally closed in 1875. £1500-2500

199 John van Nost: A rare lead sundial in the form of a kneeling figure of North America early 18th century with associated 18th century bronze dial signed George Adams, London with Portland stone surround and on and on Portland stone base 155cm.; 61ins high The van Nosts were a family of sculptors of Flemish descent. The eldest, John van Nost, is first recorded working at Windsor Castle circa 1678. He had his own yard by about 1687 and there manufactured ‘Marble and Leaden figures, Busto’s and noble Vases, Marble chimneypieces and curious Marble tables’.

He is best remembered as a supplier of lead garden statues. Records from Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire show that each of the supplied statues cost between£20-30. After his death (circa 1712) his yard at Hyde Park Corner was taken over by his nephew Gerard and then by John van Nost the younger in 1729 who continued until the mid-18th Century.

A Blackamoor and similar North American Indian were originally made for Hampton Court by John Van Nost the Elder in 1701. They were perhaps originally intended as part of a larger set representing the Continents but for the death of William III two months after the erection of the first two.

The first recorded British one is at Elmley Castle in Hereford, which dates to around 1545. However by the 18th century Scotland became the main centre of production, which is where it is likely this example originated. This was the period of Scottish Enlightenment, with huge advancements in intellectual and scientific accomplishments. The multiple dial provided the ideal opportunity to show off the mathematical skills of the maker. ÂŁ2000-4000

A rare Portland stone bulldog circa 1900

A pair of rare Austin and Seeley composition stone greyhounds

45cm.; 17½ins high by 56cm.; 22ins long

2nd half 19th century

The oldest single breed specialty club is The Bulldog Club (England), which was formed in 1878. Members of this club met frequently at the Blue Post pub on Oxford Street in London. There they wrote the first standard of perfection for the breed. In 1894 the two top Bulldogs, King Orry and Dockleaf, competed in a contest to see which dog could walk 20 miles (32 km). King Orry was reminiscent of the original Bulldogs, lighter boned and very athletic. Dockleaf was smaller and heavier set, more like modern Bulldogs. King Orry was declared the winner that year, finishing the 20-mile (32 km) walk while Dockleaf collapsed. The Bulldog was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1886.

63cm.; 25ins high by 120cm.; 47ins long Austin and Seeley were one of the earliest manufactuers of artifical/composition stone, based in New Road, London. This popular model of greyhounds is illustrated in their 1848 catalogue.

(See engraving) £1200-1800

206 ▲ William McMillan: A lead and granite fountain early 20th century signed McMillan and dated ‘27 155cm.; 61ins high overall William McMillan RA, 1887-1977 was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, the son of William McMillan, master engraver, and Jane Knight. He studied at Gray’s Art School and then at the Royal College of Art, London from 1908 to 1912, under Édouard Lantéri. McMillan joined The Artists Rifles in WWI and was commissioned into the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry on 5 December 1915. He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1925, a full member in 1933 and a Senior RA in 1962. From 1929 to 1941 he was Master of the Royal Academy Sculpture School. From 1940 to 1966 he became involved in a number of important and prestigious public commissions, and became more widely recognised at international level. Perhaps his most well-known work in collaboration with Sir Charles Wheeler, is the bronze Mermaids and Dolphin fountain in Trafalgar Square, London. Another bronze fountain of a Triton and Dryads stands in Regents Park, London. He was made a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO) in 1956. His home city of Aberdeen made him a Freeman of the City and Aberdeen University conferred an honorary doctorate upon him. McMillan exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1917 until 1971. £1000-1500

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

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.

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.

Manner of Antonio Canova

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

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.

It is essential for buyers to satisfy themselves as to the condition of lots prior to the sale and to arrange their own insurance cover against loss and damage immediately after the sale. Please refer to the Conditions of Business for Buyers.

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.

SUMMERS PLACE AUCTIONS AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE 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.

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

74

(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. To be able to claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i)

notify Summers Place Auctions Ltd in writing within three (3) months of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the item, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is thought to be counterfeit; and

(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.

Summers Place Auctions Ltd has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Summers Place Auctions Ltd may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field, mutually acceptable to Summers Place Auctions Ltd and the Buyer.

Summers Place Auctions Ltd shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event Summers Place Auctions Ltd decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS 1. Buyer’s Premium Rates The buyer’s premium payable by the buyer of each lot is at a rate of 25% on the first £50,000, then 20% up to £250,000 and 12% on the amount by which the hammer price exceeds £250,000, plus an amount in respect of VAT thereon (see below).

2. VAT on Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium and VAT Symbols in the Catalogue Property with no VAT symbol Where there is no VAT symbol, Summers Place Auctions Ltd are able to use the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme and VAT will not normally be charged on the hammer price. Summers Place Auctions Ltd must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% on this premium, which will not be shown separately on the invoice.

Property with a † symbol These items will be sold under the normal UK VAT rules and VAT will be charged at 20% on both the hammer price and buyer’s premium.

Property with a α symbol It is assumed that items sold to buyers whose address is in the European Union (EU) will be remaining in the EU. The property will be invoiced as if it had no VAT symbol.

It is assumed that items sold to buyers whose address is outside the EU, will be exported from the EU. The property will be invoiced under the normal VAT rules (see ‘Property with a † symbol above).

Property sold with a ‡ or Ω symbol These items have been imported from outside the EU to be sold at auction under temporary importation. When Summers Place Auctions Ltd release such property to buyers in the UK, the buyer will become the importer and must pay Summers Place Auctions Ltd import VAT at the following rates on the hammer price: ‡ @ 5% Ω @ 20% Summers Place Auctions Ltd must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% on this premium, which will not be shown separately on the invoice.

VAT Refunds VAT may be cancelled or refunded on export if strict conditions are met. For advice, please contact us on 01403 331 331.

Sales and Uses Taxes Buyers from outside the UK should note that local sales taxes or use taxes may become payable upon import of items following

purchase (for example, the Use Tax payable on import of purchased items to certain states of the USA). Buyers should obtain their own advice in this regard.

Artist’s Resale Right Purchase of lots marked with the following symbol ▲ will be subject to payment of the Artist’s Resale Right, at a percentage of the hammer price calculated as follows: Portion of the hammer price (in €) Royalty Rate From 0 to 50,000 4% From 50,000.01 to 200,000 3% From 200,000.01 to 350,000 1% From 350,000.01 to 500,000 0.5% Exceeding 500,000 0.25% The Artist’s Resale Right payable will be the aggregate of the amounts payable under the above rate bands, subject to a maximum royalty payable of €12,500 for any single work each time it is sold. The maximum royalty payable of €12,500 applies to works sold for €2 million and above. Calculation of the artist’s resale right will be based on the Pounds Sterling / Euro reference exchange rate quoted on the date of the sale by the European Central Bank.

Property with a ♠ symbol.

Some of these items require specialist dismantling and may not be available for immediate collection after the sale. Intending purchasers should check the status of these lots before the sale.

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.

75

C.I.T.E.S. All the relevant lots in this sale have been carefully vetted, mindful of current C.I.T.E.S. regulations, concerning the sale of endangered species. We are happy to provide advice on any lots, to overseas buyers concerning export restrictions. However, it is ultimately the buyers responsibility to satisfy themselves that the correct licenses can be obtained prior to bidding.

4. The Auction Auction speeds vary, and generally average between 50 and 120 lots per hour. The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding at levels and in increments he considers appropriate (generally in increments of approximately 10% of the previous bid) and is entitled to place a bid or series of bids on behalf of the seller up to the reserve on the lots, without indicating he is doing so and whether or not other bids are placed.

First you require a catalogue. Once you have the catalogue, you need to register your interest in bidding. This can be done quickly and simply by presenting one of our viewing staff with some photographic ID (a modern driver’s license or passport is ideal) or by scanning a copy and emailing it to us. We will take a copy of the ID and a registration form can be completed.

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 may also be sent by e-mail. If you choose to send the bid electronically, please e-mail 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 9th June 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.

Credit/debit card type..............................................

You should consider leaving a bid of an odd amount in pounds, for example, rather than 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.

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 also 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 †.

Sealed bid auction lots 300-602 All sealed bids must be with us, at the latest, by 5pm BST on the 8th June since the bids will be opened on the 9th June. The winning bid will be the highest left on each lot above the reserve. Bids are non sequential and the highest bid left is the price at which the lot is sold plus buyers premium and any VAT liable. In the event of two identical winning bids being left on the same lot, the earliest received bid shall take precedence. Summers Place Auctions decision on which is the winning bid shall be final. Winning bidders will be invoiced after the bids are opened. For further information on sealed bids and how they work see page 80.

Raffield’s fascination with the traditional practice of steam bending began whilst studying at Falmouth College of Arts (now Falmouth University), where he discovered the traditional technique of using a chamber wouldn’t allow him to create the complex 3D bends he had envisaged. Years of research and experimentation allowed

him to develop a new steaming method to turn his design visions into reality and create furniture such as these chairs which were displayed at the Chelsea Flower Show. £2000-3000 381 † s A similar steam bent oak bench by Tom Raffield 266cm.; 105ins long £2000-3000 383 382 † s A similar steam bent oak bench by Tom Raffield 279cm.; 109ins long £2000-3000

The following 52 lots were recently removed from the world famous Camden Lock Market in London. It was originally commissioned in the early 1990s as one of the fixtures in the Old Stables 3 storey indoor market designed by the 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. It is now the fourthmost popular visitor attraction in London, attracting approximately 100,000 people each weekend. In 1991 a 3 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.

484 A pair of lead urns supported by attendant satyrs and with a young satyr surprising nymphs of Diana on the other.

1st half 18th century 52cm.; 20½ins high Provenance: Removed Biddlesden Park, Buckinghamshire. The house, which lies on the site of an old Cistercian abbey, was built by John Sayer, in the Georgian style in 1727. The staircase dates from the same period. The house then passed to Ralph Verney, 2nd Earl Verney before it was acquired, on Verney’s death in 1791, by George Morgan, who was High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire. It passed through various 136

owners before being comprehensively renovated in the 1980’s.

Whilst large quantities of lead urns and finials in an 18th century style were manufactured from the beginning of the 20th century onwards, period 18th century examples are even scarcer than lead figures produced at the same period. The figural friezes were often taken from marble originals, as in a pair of lead finials dating from circa 1740 at Wrest Park, where the friezes are taken from a

pair of marble urns executed for Hampton Court Palace at the end of the 17th century by two prominent sculptors, Caius Gabriel Cibber and Edward Pearce. Other sources included chimneypiece friezes and tablets of the 18th century. Each of these examples is decorated on each side with a panel depicting a drunken Silenus on a donkey

Interestingly the foot of each urn is slightly different, with acanthus on one and an egg and foliate moulding on the other. Unlike the later, Edwardian Georgian style urns, which are slush or sand cast, these period examples are cast using the lost wax or cire perdu process and as a result are extremely crisp and well detailed with excellent quality chasing. £3000-5000

by Pietro Calvi.

James spent his early childhood in Devon.

In 1990 he set up a company designing and making a range of wooden objects to sell in Europe and the USA, boxes and picture frames encrusted in shells and marble, large papier mȃché animals and pieces of fine furniture made from wood salvaged from old demolished hardwood houses.

He has subsequently built up a small network of driftwood gatherers which provides much needed cash to impoverished provincial villages. For every kilo of driftwood that James buys he plants a seedling on denuded hills in North and South Cebu. He has started a program called 80,000 trees (www.80000trees.com)

which aims to plant 80,000 trees over the course of the next 5 years and build relationships with the tenants and claimants of the land and DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources). James has amassed an extensive collection of driftwood, varying in size and form from small pieces to large natural sculptures, each piece hewn by natural forces into a myriad of individual shapes. The wood is found along the shorelines and riverbeds of

the archipelago and is from a number of indigenous species, all dense enough to withstand years and years of exposure to both extreme tropical climate and intense frosts.

James started to design driftwood furniture in the early 2000's and it was while playing with the various natural forms that he was drawn to experiment with his first driftwood animal sculpture. His large supply of wood has made it possible for him to find

the pieces which most lend themselves to the natural form and shape needed to give his animals the movement and reality he strives to obtain in every piece he creates.

He works in his studio full time alongside a small team of assistants who help him sort and clean the wood, weld the steel frames and generally assist where and whenever they are needed.

James exhibits at the Chelsea Flower Show, London each May where,

in 2013, he was awarded the Director General's Award for the best trade stand. He also holds a solo exhibition in the autumn, hosted by the Eton Contemporary Fine Art Gallery. His largest public work to date is a series of 3 galloping life size thoroughbreds that are now racing through the Flower Dome of Gardens by the bay in Singapore. ÂŁ50,000-80,000
