SECTION HEADING xxx-xxx

Lot 1 1933 Austin 7 RP Saloon Registration No: AGK 389 Chassis No: 171068 Car No: B7 4573 £2,500 - 3,000 Finished in black over maroon with a gold pinstripe, the overall condition of this venerable little Seven is ‘older-restored’ throughout, with marks, blemishes and paint loss commensurate with age. The interior in marbled red vinyl is in generally good condition and the dash appears complete. Apparently stored for some time, the Austin will need some re-commissioning or light restoration to bring it to running and roadworthy condition. The engine does, however, turn freely by hand and the car rolls. Paperwork included in the sale includes a buff RF60 Registration Document and V5C. Please note that our HPI vehicle check shows that the engine number and chassis numbers have been transposed on the vehicle registration document.

Lot 3 1960 Morris Mini Minor De-Luxe Saloon Registration No: 71 COX Chassis No: MA2S447365 Engine No: 8AMUH81593 £12,000 - 15,000 Built on 5 October 1960 and despatched from the factory nine days later, 71 COX is a genuine right-hand drive, home market, Morris Mini Minor De-Luxe saloon.

First registered on 2 February 1961 through dealers Smiths Garages Limited, Bournville, the car came into its present family ownership in January 1974 after the Standard 8 it replaced ‘failed to proceed’. Cherry Red with grey fleck and red trim, 71 COX provided reliable service until 2000 (a small mishap at Kenilworth Golf Club in 1979 aside…), when the annual MoT test delivered bad news. With the choices being to either scrap or restore, thankfully the decision to restore was made.

A note in the Mini’s file suggests that the work took five years to complete, with it being restored to original specification where possible and remaining in Cherry Red with the original specification interior.

www.sworder.co.uk

The original rear seat was kept, although it is likely that the fronts were re-trimmed during the restoration, albeit in correct colours. Fifteen years later the car remains generally very tidy and still presentable, although starting to ‘mellow’ in some areas. More recently it has stood for some time, so inspection prior to purchase is expected and some re-commissioning will be required.

Paperwork includes the original Warranty dated February 1961 and BMIHT ‘Heritage Certificate’, the original buff log book dated February 2nd 1961, handbook, a large quantity of expired MoT test certificates, various expired V5 registration documents and V5C. The original Smiths Garage Ltd., Bournville rear registration plate has been kept with the car and, as a bonus, a nodding dog guards the rear shelf.

111 part lot

Provenance: F rom the private collection and descendant of a past owner of Johnson, Walker & Tolhurst, who purportedly originally commissioned the service.

The facsimile signature of Latino Movio (1858-1949) has been noted on chased and embossed Arts and Crafts silver pieces hallmarked between 1901 and 1907.

Although very few details about his life and work have come to light, he appears in the 1911 census as an Italian ‘artist in metal repoussé’. His son and daughter are recorded living in the same house as a ‘brass finisher and chaser’ and ‘art metal teacher’ respectively.

Given the style of his work and the date when his signature begins to appear on silver, it seems probable that he was employed in the workshop of Gilbert Marks, whose output ceased around 1902 because of illness.

Further weight is lent to this argument by the fact that Movio’s facsimile signature turns up on items bearing the ‘maker’s mark’ of Johnson, Walker & Tolhurst for whom Marks worked and at whose showrooms he exhibited his silver from 1895 to 1901. A likely scenario is that Movio continued to work for them (as well as for other retailers) on his own account after leaving the employ of Marks, applying his own signature in the same style. Movio last appears as a ‘chaser’ in a 1934 trade directory.

May Morris, William’s youngest daughter, was an important figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement. The verse is the opening of ‘To Violets’

by Robert Herrick, a 17th century poet. May helped transform embroidery from a domestic pastime - undervalued because it was mostly done by women - into a serious art form. Her work was exhibited widely and pieces like this showed what could be achieved by imaginative and inventive free-hand stitching, as opposed to the more plodding woolwork dominating much amateur production.

May had become the head of Morris and Co.’s embroidery department by the time she was twenty-three, but she was concerned by the lack of professional organisations open to women and tried to redress this by founding the Women’s Guild of Arts in 1907.

Wallington Hall is now owned by the National Trust. The interiors were remodelled with Pre-Raphaeliate art, sculpture and decoration.

The artist William Bell Scott was commissioned to paint the walls with a series of vivid Pre-Raphaelite scenes depicting great moments in the history of Northumberland. Bell carried out most of the painting and one panel was painted by John Ruskin. Another Pre-Raphaelite friend of the Trevelyan family was sculptor Thomas Woolner, who created sculptures in the entrance hall.

161

Lady Mary Terevelyan (1881-1966) was keen on the arts and there are a series of tapestries woven by her at Wallington Hall – it may be that she used the May Morris design from a pattern which was known to have been published in the ‘Day Book’.

Lot 161 An embroidered panel, ‘Maids of Honour’, designed by May Morris in 1880-92, the verse reads ‘Welcome maids of honour - You do bring in the spring and wait upon her’, inset into a mahogany firescreen, 62cm wide 90cm high £1,000 - 1,500 Provenance: From a descendant of the Trevelyan Family of Wallington Hall, Northumberland.

It is shown in a photograph of the hallway. The original design for this is now in the collection of RIBA, and the clock itself held by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

The architectural form of the piece demonstrates Voysey’s belief in simplicity of decoration without which, he said, ‘no true richness is possible’.

It can be compared to the clock tower he designed over the stable entrance at the Sturges house near Puttenham, 1896, his unexecuted 1889 design for a Tower House and the house he built for Mrs Forster at 14 South Parade, Bedford Park, Chiswick in 1891, all of which share the bold upright facia under an extended capped roof of this clock.

58

In common with a number of Voysey’s designs, which he reused for later commissions with or without minor amendments, a limited number of other versions were created. Two examples in oak are known, and a few are known to have been produced in aluminium by W Tingley, one of which was shown at the 1903 Arts and Crafts Exhibition.

Lot 224 A pair of rare Arts and Crafts oak armchairs,

by C F A Voysey (1857-1941), c.1902, each with leather and studded drop-in seats, 62.5cm wide 54.5cm deep 100.5cm high, seat 42.5cm high (2) £20,000 - 30,000 Charles Francis Annesley Voysey, was educated at Dulwich College and was a prolific architect- designer within the Arts and Crafts movement. An undistinguished academic at college, Voysey later claimed he became an architect because it was ‘the only profession for which one did not need to pass any examinations’. Beginning his career in 1881, he first established himself as a designer of furniture, textiles and wallpapers.

Winning his first building commissions in 1890, he quickly earned a reputation of being a master of artistic cottages and modern country houses.

He paid meticulous attention to detail, designing every aspect of a project, down to the door hinges. Voysey regularly exhibited watercolour elevations of his building projects, furniture and decorative designs at the Royal Academy, and is celebrated today as one of the leading British designers of the turn of the 20th century.

The simple design, personified by a heart motif on the back of a chair, is one of Voysey’s best known furniture designs. F C Nielsen, who made other furniture that Voysey designed, made these chairs from 1902, in differing proportions. One telltale detail is the dovetail construction fixing the splat to the frame. Versions of this chair can be seen in major collections around the world with leather and rush drop-in seats.

Voysey had a limited number of designs that he used, but in many of his schemes for interiors, this model appears often - his mantra was for furniture with a ‘sense of proportion and puritanical love of simplicity’.

Few of these chairs have come on the market over the last ten years, the most recent a pair of single chairs without arms, which sold in March this year for £16,500.

No doubt, this pair are the exemplar of the Arts and Crafts tradition and rarer still to be found together after all this time. Examples of this chair can be seen in The Homestead, built for the General Manager of the Essex and Suffolk Equitable Insurance Society, whose offices Voysey designed, and is among his best-preserved domestic masterpieces.

The vendor has been the lucky owner of these for over forty years.

A Collection of

S TA N L E Y WEBB D AV I E S Furniture The collection of furniture by Stanley Webb Davies lots 225-259 is probably the largest ever single-owner commission to come on the market.

Stanley Webb Davies (1894-1978) was born into a wealthy mill-owning family in Lancashire and was educated at Bootham, a Quaker School in York, and then studied history at Oxford. During the First World War, he was a member of the Friends' War Victims Relief team and built huts for refugees, which in turn developed his love of woodwork.

After the war, he worked for Romney Green at his workshop in Christchurch, Hampshire. In 1922, with help from his father, he built his workshop and a new home he called 'Gatesbield', which was designed by the architect Kenneth Cross. He worked there for the rest of his life and adhered to the Arts and Crafts Movement's ideals of the craftsman-maker versus machine-production.

He designed and made domestic and ecclesiastical furniture, presentation pieces, and items for boardrooms and offices. Most of his work was made to commission and he was resolute in never producing exactly the same design twice. His workshop closed on his retirement in 1961.

The fascinating detail of the works in this collection is that most of the pieces are signed by the craftsmen that made them: Ernest John Oldcorn, Bob Willetts, Herbert Marshall and Richard Cloudsdale.

Lot 265 A sycamore tallboy, 1927, by Peter Waals, with a panelled cupboard over three graduated drawers, 83cm wide 49cm deep 144 cm high £4,000 - 6,000 Provenance: The Goddard family.

The Goddard family of Leicester were important local patrons of the arts. Joseph Goddard was a chemist, who developed Goddard’s plate powder, a cleaning powder without mercury. He promoted the use of the powder by giving free samples to travellers who visited his shop. He was a Baptist, like Thomas Cook, and promoted temperance in the works and improving excursions - to, for example, the 1851 Great Exhibition - for his workforce. The family had close links with the Evans family following the marriage of W A Evans to Nancy, one of the four Goddard daughters, in 1904.

Works from the family collection can be seen at the Leicester Museum.

ART DECO FURNITURE AND LIGHTING 287-542 John Guida (1897-1965), born to an Italian father and an American mother, was an important Italian stylist, designer and illustrator. As a child he moved to Rome where he attended Visconti High School. In 1914 he participated in the fashion exhibition at the Circolo Degli Artisti together with Sartorio, Grassi, Innocenti and Angoletta. John Guida was a regular visitor to the Paris fashion shows, coming into contact with famous tailors such as Jean Patou, Jeanne Lanvin, Lucien Lelong, Madeleine Vionnet and Coco Chanel from whom he drew inspiration to find his own personal style, becoming an official dress designer for some of the most well-known Italian tailors such as Coen, Sanet and La Merveilleuse of Turin.

His designs remained characterised by a refined linearity and a constant attention to precious detail. Elongated and slender female figures were often underlined by loose skirts and flowing pants; the sophisticated profiles were highlighted by short or gathered hair, inspired by the typical garçonne model of the time.

He was also active as an illustrator for the women’s magazines ‘La Donna’ and ‘Cose’, and as an advertising designer for the fashion and perfumery sectors.

Lot 362 Demétre Chiparus (Romanian, 1886-1947), ‘The Dancer of Kapurthala’, patinated and gilt-bronze and ivory, on a stepped onyx base, signed on the plinth and stamped ‘Made in France and numbered 35’, 57cm high £35,000 - 45,000 Provenance: Private collection, East Sussex.

See A Shayo, ‘Chiparus: Master of Art Deco’, Abbeville Press, 1999, pl.63, p.132.

‘The Dancer of Kapurthala’ is believed to have been inspired by Anita Delgado (1890-1962), a flamenco dancer who captured the heart of the Maharajah of Kapurthala when he saw her perform at a café, while attending the wedding of Spain’s King Alfonso XIII. They later married and she changed her name to Maharani Prem Kaur Sahiba.

Demétre Chiparus (1886-1947), was born in Drohoi, Romania, went to study in Italy with the sculptor Raffaello Romanelli, and then enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The distinctive sculptures he produced, in the Art Deco style, were frequently made with bronze and ivory - a tradition that had been used in ancient Greece and commonly known as chryselephantine.

Chiparus, fascinated by the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb and influenced by Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, was also inspired by the exotic - something that is very evident in this fantastic sculpture.

287-542 ART DECO FURNITURE AND LIGHTING Lot 512 *Agatha Walker (1888-1980) Jean Forbes-Robertson in the role of Peter Pan c.1930, a painted wax statuette, inscribed to the plinth 35cm high 43cm high overall, cased £250 - 350 This wax figurine is modelled on the actress Jean Forbes-Robertson (1905-1962) in the title role of J M Barrie’s 1904 children’s play ‘Peter Pan’. Jean Forbes-Robertson first played the part at the Gaiety Theatre, Christmas 1927, and subsequently became one of the best known actresses associated with the role, playing it at the Garrick Theatre, 1928/1929; at the St James’s, 1929/1930; and at the Palladium for five consecutive Christmases, from 1930 until the end of the 1934/35 season. Other actresses took the part subsequently at the Palladium, but Jean ForbesRobertson returned to play it for the last time there for the 1938/39 season.

This is one of several wax figurines modelled by Agatha Walker in the 1920s and 1930s, mostly of actors and actresses in costume for roles in successful productions on the London stage. There had been a craze for ceramic figurines of performers in the 19th century and Walker attempted to revive this tradition with her limited edition sculptures. They were modelled from life in plaster and coated with a fine wax layer which was then coloured. In 1931 there was an exhibition of her wax figures at the Fine Art Society.

GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname of a recognised destination of an artist is or is probably a work by the artist, eg. David Cox. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that while a full designation is our highest category or authenticity, no unqualified statement as to the authorship is made or intended. A full cataloguing does not necessarily imply a full warranty.

Attributed to David Cox in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.

Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.

Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt.

Follower of David Cox in our opinion a work executed in the style of David Cox After David Cox in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. South Netherlands School, circa 1750.

All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.

Condition reports are not included in the descriptions.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT (ARR) What is Artist’s Resale Right?

Following a European Directive in 2006, the Artist’s Resale Right entitles creators of original works of art to a royalty each time their work is resold, with the involvement of an auction house, for 1,000 Euros or more.

This right covers sales of work by living artists and also the beneficiaries and heirs of artists deceased within the last 70 years of the sale.

How are resale royalties calculated?

The artist’s royalty depends on the hammer price (sale price without any VAT or Buyer’s Premium). The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate.

The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%.

Hammer Price

Royalty

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 Exceeding €500,000

0.5% 0.25%

What is the qualifying threshold?

An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for a royalty. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling must be worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork was sold.

152

What nationality must an artist be to qualify?

The Artist’s Resale Right applies to the sale of artworks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The following countries are in the EEA: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom.

Artists who are nationals of these countries are therefore generally eligible to receive resale royalties. The nationality criteria only applies to the artist and not to the beneficiaries or heirs.

Are all sales of artwork covered?

The Artist’s Resale Right does not apply to all sales of artworks. A royalty is only due if the following conditions are met: • • • •

the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art; it is sold for more than €1000; it is sold in the secondary market with the involvement of an art market professional (e.g. auction house); and it is sold in the UK or another country in the European Economic Area (EEA).

This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser. It is exempt of VAT.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS INFORMATION FOR BUYERS Introduction The following notes are intended to assist bidders and buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Conditions of Business incorporating the Terms of Consignment (primarily applicable to sellers), the Terms of Sale (primarily applicable to bidders and buyers) and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the auctioneer at the auction. Our Conditions of Business are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand.

Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale set out in this catalogue or on our website carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale.

Methods of Payment Lots must be paid for before they are collected. For those attending the auction we ask that lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our web site, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm on the Friday following the sale.

We accept cash to an upper limit of 10,000 euros equivalent. We accept credit card payments to an upper limit of £5,000. Usually any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the goods away.

Collection and storage All lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm on the Friday following the sale.

Commission bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment and collection within this time. Please note what the Terms of Sale say about collection and storage. Items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 as an administration fee and £2 per lot per day may be charged (plus vat). Please note that we will apply these charges strictly to Furniture purchased in our Homes and Interiors Sales.

Dispatch We are rarely able to pack and dispatch purchases. A choice of shippers is detailed on our web site.

Agency As auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the goods is with the seller, not with us as auctioneer.

Estimates Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale price. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price (the minimum price for which a lot may be sold) and will not be below the reserve price. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium or VAT (where chargeable).

Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the auctioneer before the auction of the lot.

They are not definitive.

Electrical goods These are sold as ‘antiques’ only. If you buy electrical goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.

Export of goods If you intend to export goods you must find out: a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing goods of that character e.g. because the goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory.

Bidding Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding.

Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion.

Commission bidding You may leave commission bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a lot (excluding the buyers’ premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained).

We recommend leaving commission bids online via our website, though please contact us about leaving bids by telephone or fax/email. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute commission bids received after this time.

Telephone Bidding If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value lots. Please note that this service is for lots with an estimate of £500 or more. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.

Online Bidding Any lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional commission charge on the hammer price payable by the bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. From 1 January 2020, these charges will be charged at 0% plus VAT while bidding via Sworders website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. Both charges will be payable to us on top of the hammer price and our buyer’s commission.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

Buyer’s Premium The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a buyer’s premium at 25% on the hammer price of each lot purchased, except for our Fine Wine and Port auctions when it is 15%. In addition, VAT is charged on these premiums (see below).

Removal of lots ALL lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Sworders retain the right to remove lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made.

VAT Items in our catalogue may be marked with a dagger † or double dagger ‡, which indicates that VAT is payable by the buyer on the hammer price and the buyer’s premium at either the standard rate (currently 20%) or a reduced rate (currently 5%), depending upon the legal requirements relating to that lot.

Electrical Goods All electrical goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified safe or unsafe by an appropriately qualified electrician. All electrical goods certified safe must be re-commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-commissioned.

Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the premium is not recoverable as input tax.

Inspection of goods by the buyer As we act on behalf of the seller, we are dependent on information provided by the seller about their goods. We may inspect lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of lots to check their condition in the way a buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the goods. You must inspect and investigate lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 12.4.

Condition Reports We may be able to assist buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale.

Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling.

Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra) To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war rosewood furniture items have Article 10 certificates.

If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate.

You would need to contact the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number.

It is therefore the responsibility of commercial buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. Items are marked with this sign §.
