Literature: Christopher Gilbert, ‘Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840’, 1996, this table is illustrated on pp.188, 189. At the time of publishing, there were no other examples of patent furniture by this maker.

With accompanying letter from the photographer John Stabler regarding the inclusion of this table in Gilbert’s ‘Pictorial Dictionary of Marked London Furniture 1700-1840’, dated 18 June 1993.

D Edwards, maker, active first half of the 19th century. Possibly the same D Edwards based at 84 St James’s Street, London and then 21 King Street, Bloomsbury, London, known for their fashionable writing and dressing cases, and the inventor of patent campaign and military travelling writing cases. He was appointed supplier to the Royal family in 1813 until his death in 1848.

This form of concertina action expanding table has been referred to as a ‘Cumberland-action’ table. The first table of this type was supposedly made for Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland, fourth son of Frederick, Prince of Wales and brother of George III. Resident at Cumberland Lodge, Windsor, he was a patron of John Linnell in the mid-1770s, so it is possible that he was the first recipient of a sophisticated design which is a development of the double gateleg table, adapted so that the legs spread the weight without obstructing people sitting at it.

This stick was presented to Marshal Soult, with gratitude from Napoleon’ [sic], 91cm long £1,000 - 2,000 Provenance: T he Peter and Pat Crofts Collection.

Marshal General Jean-de-Soult, the 1st Duke of Dalmatia (born 29 March 1769, died 26 November 1851), commonly known as Marshal Soult, was a distinguished military commander during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (including the Peninsular War).

The Stansfield and Copper-Horsfall families were brought together by the marriage of the Reverend Michael Alfred Horsfall of West Thorpe, Whitby to Mabel Catherine Stansfield in 1897.

As the name Stansfield is mentioned first, it is more than feasible that the stick came into the possession of the Copper-Horsfall family through Michael’s marriage to Mabel in 1897. The Stansfield family were a well-established family in the County of Yorkshire gentry. Likewise, the Horsfall family appear to have been long residents in the county.

Lot 294 A Napoleonic gilt-bronze medallion in a fitted case, 19th century, depicting the emperor in profile, the red leather case inscribed in gilt lettering ‘Donnee Par S. M. L’Empereur A Mr Roustam Ier Mameluc’, 7.7cm diameter case 9.5cm wide 9.5cm deep £1,000 - 2,000 The inscription on the case of this medallion suggests it was presented by Emperor Napoleon to Roustam Raza, Premier Mameluc.

Roustam Raza was Napoleon’s Mamluk bodyguard and secondary valet. Having been taken into slavery from his home city of Tbilisi, Georgia, by the Egyptians, Roustam was gifted to Napoleon in 1798 by the sheikh of Cairo, following the successful French campaign in Egypt. He served the Emperor for 15 years until his exile. The use of the phrase ‘premier Mameluc’ in this inscription is notable and alludes to the fact that Napoleon had a second Mamluk, Mamluk Ali who joined his service in 1812, after which time Roustam would have referred to himself as the premier mamluk to denote his seniority. This may indicate that whoever inscribed the box knew of this arrangement and was probably following the owner’s instructions, rather than someone simply inscribing a text.

A letter from the British Museum, Department of Coins and Medals, dated December 1964, suggests that this medal matches the description of one shown in both Trésor de Numismatique and Bramsen which is said to have been produced in December 1813.

Peter Crofts (1924-2001) Peter Crofts was a big man in many senses of the word. Broad and above average height, with thick white hair and clear penetrating eyes, he cut an imposing figure.

Above all, he was a big man in terms of his courage, spirit, and determination to make the most of life.

Peter was born in Elm, a small village south of Wisbech in Cambridgeshire. His parents were well-known professional farmers and Peter joined the family firm, where he remained active until his death.

After leaving Wisbech grammar school, he volunteered to serve in the Fleet Air Arm and subsequently went to the USA as part of the Admiral Tower Scheme, to train as a pilot.

He gained his wings at Corpus Christi Air Base in Texas. On 25 March 1945, a month and a day before his 21st birthday, the engine of his Corsair F4U failed during take-off, crashed and burst into flames, leaving Peter severely injured. He spent the next three and a half years in hospital. In his own words ‘on April 25th, surgeon Sam Stabins came to see me and told me he would have to amputate both my feet… it sounds better than legs. I spent the 26th April, my 21st birthday, with no legs’. The care he received forged a great love of America and many lifelong friendships.

In 1948 Peter met Major Bernard Edinburgh of Stamford, a well-known and knowledgeable antique dealer who took him under his wing and encouraged him to set up and trade himself. In 1950 he married Pat, who shared his love of antiques. In 1958 Peter was elected a member of the British Antique Dealers Association, whom he served for the following forty years.

Despite his disability, he was a keen sailor, greatly enjoying time on his boat ‘Amity’, an eighty-eight year old clinker-built Norfolk beach boat. He was also a trustee and generous benefactor of the Fenland Museum.

Lot 502 Sarah Biffin (1784-1850) Study of feathers inscribed in pen ‘Drawn by Miss Biffin, 6th August 1812’, watercolour 10.3 x 12cm; together with a handbill advertising her as an attraction ‘During The Races’, describing her as ‘born deficient of arms and legs, she is of comely appearance, twenty-eight years of age, and is only thirty-seven inches high’. £3,000 - 5,000 Provenance: The Peter and Pat Crofts Collection.

Sarah Biffin was born in Somerset with no arms and only vestigial legs. She was apprenticed to a man called Dukes who exhibited her as an attraction throughout England. The Society of Arts awarded her a medal in 1821 and the Royal Academy accepted her work. She is thought to have had the condition phocomelia, but taught herself to write and paint, holding the pen or brush between her teeth. She has come to greater prominence in recent years, although the majority of her paintings that have emerged at auction have been portraits.

The Earl of Marton died in 1827 leaving her without a noble sponsor, which caused her financial difficulties.

Queen Victoria later awarded her a Civil List pension whereupon she retired to Liverpool and later married.

Three similar works sold at Sotheby’s this year: one also dated 1812 - 7 July 2021, lot 11, and two further smaller examples - 27 October 2021, lots 65 and 66.

Sarah Biffin, a lithograph by G Engelmann (1788-1839). Wellcome Collection.

Lot 562 Henry Baines (1823-1894) Boats off Hunstanton, the tide covering the sandbanks, a rainbow in the sky inscribed ‘Off Hunstanton - Tide coming up on the Bull Dogs Sandbank. Painted August-October 1867 by Henry Baines of Kings Lynn, born 1823, died 1894. Acquired by Henry J Thompson, January 1914, and by W E G MacDonald 27th April 1932’ on old label verso, oil on canvas 43 x 92cm £600 - 800 Provenance: The Peter and Pat Crofts Collection.

Henry Baines was the younger brother of the celebrated artist Thomas Baines (1820-1875), whose reputation rests on the extensive output of paintings and drawings produced on his expeditions to Australia and, principally, Southern Africa.

The brothers were brought up in King’s Lynn and, after training in London and Europe, Henry returned to the town and established his own Art Academy. His paintings are chiefly devoted to East Anglian landscapes and coastal scenes, and his topographical views are a valuable record of the town and its environs. The King’s Lynn Museum holds a large collection of his sketches and watercolours as well as paintings, many of which were included in the exhibition of his work held after his death in 1894.

This painting depicts a stormy landscape in the romantic tradition, but the subject appears to be African. Although, so far, we have been unable to find a record of this composition by Thomas, it is well known that Henry copied his brother’s work. Stylistically, parallels can be drawn with some of Henry’s East Anglian landscapes in his treatment of the foreground vegetation, but also, more tellingly, in his Turneresque rendering of the approaching storm and the dramatic effects of light.

A leather buttonupholstered slipper chair

Provenance: B olehyde Manor, Wiltshire.

This slipper chair originates from a country house in Wiltshire and is believed to date from the early 1900s.

This classic chair has been re-upholstered in a kilim fabric, giving it a contemporary ‘country house’ look.

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.

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.

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

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.

Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

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

0.5%

Exceeding €500,000

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).

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.

264

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:

This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser.

It is exempt of VAT.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. 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 Terms and Conditions and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction. Our Terms and Conditions 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 Terms and Conditions that you do not fully understand.

Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale 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 or shipped. 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 Website, 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 or shipping within this time. For our specialist auctions please refer to the collection and storage requirements detailed in the catalogue and on our Website, which specifies the applicable fees. For our Homes and Interiors auctions, items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 (plus VAT) for administration and £2 (plus VAT) per lot per day.

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.

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).

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. 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.

Shipping Costs are liable for VAT and are payable by the Buyer.

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.

Shipping of Goods We offer a delivery service for Lots purchased. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale on our website under each Lot and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be automatically calculated, such as furniture, you can obtain a bespoke Shipping Cost from our website to any destination in the world either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased.

Estimates of Shipping Costs on our website are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price. www.sworder.co.uk

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% while bidding via Sworders Website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. These charges will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our Buyer’s Commission.

IMPORTANT NOTICES 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.

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.

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 §.
