Setting Benchmarks for Single-Owner Collections artifacts: From the Collection of John Perry

John Perry

A Large and Impressive Model Waka Taua by Alex Coates

Dick Lyne, Mt. Ngauruhoe, 1955

7

In January, Webb’s achieved a white glove result for artifacts: From the Collection of John Perry. The auction was an absolute hit, presenting New Zealand folk art, ceramics, fine arts, ethnographica, man-made and natural curiosities, photography and printed matter, amongst other things. All lots sold, and the sale received the highest viewership for a Webb’s auction to date.

Many offered items surpassed their high estimates, including a series of paintings by New Zealand artist Dick Lyne. His 1955 work, Mt. Ngauru, which depicts the volcano mid-explosion, reached a price realised of $8,750. This far exceeded its pre-auction high estimate of $2,500. Another painting, Newtown by Selwyn Muru, also attracted fierce bidding attention. It reached $11,704 — crushing its high estimate of $4,000.

Folk art and handcrafted pieces also met strong buyer interest. A large model waka by Alex Coates was an excellent example in this category that sold for $7,315 against a high estimate of $2,000.

John Perry was legendary in the New Zealand art and auction scene. He was well-known for his encyclopaedic knowledge of New Zealand, international art and his charming personality. He was the curator of the Rotorua City Art Gallery, and later the Director of the Rotorua Museum for over a decade in the 1980s and 1990s.

In the early 2000s, a cinema in Helensville became the home of John’s incredible collection of art and objects.

John transformed the front of the cinema into Global Village Antiques, a shop filled with exceptional pieces from Aotearoa and other parts of the world. This cinemacum-storehouse has a footprint of over 700 square metres – the equivalent of four tennis courts – and is filled floor to ceiling with a boggling array of items.

With the honour of working closely with John’s family, we are continuing to present more of this magnificent collection at auction through our fortnightly offerings at The Estate. Our bi-weekly online auctions have seen unprecedented traction, now amplified by the ongoing sale of collectables sourced by John. We have delighted in the public response to celebrating John’s legacy and look forward to presenting many more extraordinary items.

Be sure to browse The Estate catalogues to discover more unveiled pieces. Curated displays are available to view upon each catalogue’s release at 31d Normanby Road, Mount Eden, or you can peruse the selection online.

à la poursuite de la beauté: The Jack C. Richards Collection of Lalique Glass At Webb’s, we are seeing the market for decorative arts continue to grow with no signs of slowing down.

Our diverse auctions are consistently achieving excellent results. High returns are seen across our department as clients, and both seasoned and emerging collectors look to the secondary market to sell and acquire unique pieces.

Jack C. Richards

René Lalique Palestre (Palaestra)

9

This was particularly evident in the exceptionally successful à la poursuite de la beauté: The Jack C. Richards Collection of Lalique Glass. The single-vendor live sale saw glass works by French Art Nouveau designer René Lalique reach new heights with new records set for individual pieces.

The competition for each piece made for an exhilarating auction, with prices for the fine glass escalating to new records. The vase Perruches (Parakeets) exceeded $50,000, against a high estimate of only $12,000.

Fever pitch was reached with the sale of Palestre (Palaestra), a grey-glass mould-blown piece, displaying intricate acid-etched figures standing in classical poses. The vase blitzed the high estimate of $35,000 to reach the unfathomable height of $73,455. à la poursuite de la beauté: The Jack C. Richards Collection of Lalique Glass was a monumental moment in New Zealand auction history that has set a benchmark for the global sale of Lalique glass on the secondary market.

Fervent international interest, from as far as the UK, France, Milan, and Zurich, and sensational figures attest to quality of Lalique presented. At over $1 million, the sale total surpassed its estimated value by 170%. à la poursuite de la beauté: The Jack C. Richards Collection of Lalique Glass now holds the Australasian record for a Lalique collection.

Introducing mr mod: The Morrison Collection

The Morrison Collection

In collaboration with mr mod, Webb’s is thrilled the present mr mod: The Morrison Collection.

Ross Morrison is a qualified antique restorer, woodcarver, dealer, and owner of mr mod, who is now selling his personal collection after more than 40 years in the industry. Based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Ross has specialised in the trade of international mid-century design for the last 25 years. Ross is one of the foremost design experts in the country and has exhibited in galleries such as Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū and CoCA. He has built an enviable collection of furniture, antiques, and objets d’art.

Ross’ interest in design began at the time when he learned to walk. His father was a wellregarded cabinet maker and antique dealer.

At the age of 13, he purchased the first piece of his collection – an Art Nouveau WMF Jug – beginning an insatiable desire for the best in design. It was at this time that his appreciation for architectural details, form, materiality and function grew.

Foreword

15

In 1979, his father bought a premises to trade and restore antiques. Ross worked alongside his father for almost a decade before moving abroad. His journey started in Japan, where he bought Japanese antiques.

Then headed to Sussex to open a store focused on Japanese antiques. He later moved to Paris and operated a stand at Les Puces de Saint-Quen flea market at Porte de Clignancourt, selling Japanese antiques.

Ross honed his eye for exceptional Asian and European design while overseas, gaining lifelong global connections and an increased following for his work back home.

It was not until his father’s passing in the 1990s that Ross’ interest in mid-century design flourished. Sourcing mid-century pieces was against the grain and the market then, but Ross ignored the trends, acquiring what he enjoyed. He bought predominately from America and Denmark. He liked repurposing, extending the life of reasonably accessible pieces that contrasted and complimented the New Zealand vernacular.

Ross believes in always buying things you love rather than following fashion. He encouraged his clients to mix design eras to achieve a true expression of their aesthetic, stating, ‘If you like it, it will fit in your home.’

He is now calling it time, selling his collection across several live auctions. The first is a broad cross-section, curated by both Ross and Webb’s. This is highlighted by his fascination with modernism, including standout pieces from Raymond Loewy’s Barcalounger, Joe Colombo’s pair of LEM chairs, and Charles and Ray Eames’ Second Generation Fibreglass Armshell, alongside many others.

Working with Ross has been a pleasure.

Bringing the curated first instalment of such a significant collection to market has been a privilege. We look forward to presenting this auction live on Sunday 28 May. Ben Erren Director of Decorative Arts

George Nelson George Nelson was an influential American mid-century industrial designer, and a proponent of a minimalist aesthetic. His work is set apart from his contemporaries by combining form and function in a playful and sculptural manner, incorporating innovative and unconventional materials. His impact transformed how furniture and interiors were perceived in the mid-twentieth century, and was felt across various mediums, including furniture, architecture, and graphics.

The Marshmallow Sofa and Coconut Chair were among his most famous designs, developed during his time as Design Director for Herman Miller. These works are characterised by using organic forms, reflecting his inspiration from nature.

Nelson’s experimentation with materials pushed the boundaries of design. In the 1950s, he innovatively used moulded plastic and fibreglass to create furniture. Designs such as the DAF chair were often statements of vibrant block colour with uninterrupted strong lines.

Parallel to this, he often combined different woods and metals to create striking contrasts and harmonies.

His career is marked by his willingness to experiment with materials, leading to the creation of designs that continue to influence contemporary concepts and aesthetics.

Milo Baughman

Lot 146

$2,000 — $5,000

A focus on functionality, simplicity, and clean lines marked Milo Baughman’s approach to design. The American designer believed that furniture should not only be visually pleasing, but also practical and accessible. Baughman’s designs were characterised by their modular and adaptable nature, allowing them to be rearranged and combined to suit a range of spaces and needs.

He worked with chrome, glass, burlwood and leather and was renowned for his attention to detail and commitment to quality. His designs were not just functional objects but works of art in their own right.

Baughman’s impact on furniture design was significant, helping to define trends of the 1970s.

His contributions have received numerous awards and honours, including induction into the Furniture Hall of Fame in 1987. Prestigious institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York have exhibited his work.

His innovative approach to form, function, and versatility was ahead of its time, and his modular designs remain popular with collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

An Engraved Gilt Brass Cheval Clock

by Thomas Cole

The Morrison Collection

89

Mid-19th century, London. This clock, numbered 508, probably dates from 1846/47. Its design is known as cheval, after the mirror style that was popular at the time. It is of 8-day duration and is in original condition.

The decorative Fleur de Lis hands are a typical Thomas Cole feature. Oval body with pierced scroll crest, pivoted between scroll uprights rising from floral engraved base with pivoted foot. The dial is silvered, engraved with foliate scrolls and flowerheads, roman chapter ring, blued fleur-de-lis hands. Temperature gauge below frame. With original winding key. Signed to reverse by retailer ‘C. F. Hancock successor of Storr and Mortimer’s.’ Thomas Cole (1800-1864) was the son of James Cole and brother of the more eminent James Ferguson Cole.

At first Cole worked in partnership with his brother at 3 Bond Street, London. Then from 1839 until his death he produced the work by which he is best known. Most of these were produced for and sold through high-end London jewellers and goldsmiths.

est

$8,000 — $12,000

The Cole workshop produced all the components of his clocks. This is unusual for the time as most clockmakers by then sourced their cases, movements, dials, hands and so on from horological manufacturers and case makers. Thomas Cole clocks are highly regarded by collectors. They demonstrate the highest standards of English Victorian clockmaking, from the delicate blued steel hands to the exquisitely finished movements and cases. H190 W105 D25mm

Raymond Loewy Raymond Loewy was a highly influential French-born American industrial designer whose impact on midcentury design aesthetics cannot be overstated. He was known for his linear, functional, and visually striking designs. Loewy was a spearhead of modernism. From locomotives to furniture, cars to brand logos, his work helped shape the mid-century era’s look and feel.

One of Loewy’s most significant innovations was the application of aerodynamic principles in his designs. He believed form should follow function, and his streamlined designs reflected this philosophy. Loewy’s work was marked by its simplicity, emphasising clean lines and minimal ornamentation.

Another key aspect of Loewy’s approach to design was his focus on branding and marketing. He was among the first designers to recognise the importance of creating a cohesive brand identity. He worked with clients to develop logos, packaging, and advertising campaigns that were as distinctive and memorable as his product designs.

Loewy’s impact on mid-century design can still be felt today. His works, such as the Coca-Cola bottle and the Shell logo, are instantly recognisable. His innovative approach continues to influence designers across various industries.

Terms and Conditions The terms and conditions of sale listed here contain the policies of Webb’s (Webb Fine Art). They are the terms on which Webb’s (Webb Fine Art) and the Seller contract with the Buyer. They may be amended by printed Saleroom Notices or oral announcements made before and during the sale. By bidding at auction you agree to be bound by these terms.

1.

Background to the Terms used in these Conditions The conditions that are listed below contain terms that are used regularly and may need explanation. They are as follows: “the Buyer” means the person with the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer. “the Lot” means any item depicted within the sale for auction and in particular the item or items described against any lot number in the catalogue. “the Hammer price” means the amount of the highest bid accepted by the auctioneer in relation to a lot. “the Buyer’s Premium” means the charge payable by the Buyer to the auction house as a percentage of the hammer price. “the Reserve” means the lowest amount at which Webb’s has agreed with the Seller that the lot can be sold.

“Forgery” means an item constituting an imitation originally conceived and executed as a whole, with a fraudulent intention to deceive as to authorship, origin, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description as to such matters is not reflected by the description in the catalogue. Accordingly, no lot shall be capable of being a forgery by reason of any damage or restoration work of any kind (Including repainting). “the insured value” means the amount that Webb’s in its absolute discretion from time to time shall consider the value for which a lot should be covered for insurance (whether or not insurance is arranged

by Webb’s).

All values expressed in Webb’s catalogues (in any format) are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$). All bids, “hammer price”, “reserves”, “Buyers

Premium” and other expressions of value are understood by all parties to be in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$) unless otherwise specified.

2.

Webb’s Auctions as Agent

Except as otherwise stated, Webb’s acts as agent for the Seller.

The contract for the sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

3.

Before the Sale

3.1.

Examination of Property Prospective Buyers are strongly advised to examine in person any property in which they are interested before the Auction takes place.

Neither Webb’s nor the Seller provides any guarantee in relation to the nature of the property apart from the Limited warranty in the paragraph below.

The property is otherwise sold “AS IS” 2.

Catalogue and Other Descriptions All statements by Webb’s in the catalogue entry for the property or in the condition report, or made orally or in writing elsewhere, are statements of opinion and are not to be relied upon as statements of fact. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty or assumption of liability by Webb’s of any kind. References in the catalogue entry to the condition report to damage or restoration are for guidance only and should be evaluated by personal inspection by the bidder or a knowledgeable representative. The absence of such a reference does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of any others. Estimates of the selling price should not be relied on as a statement that this is the price at which the item will sell or its value for

118

mr mod

any other purpose. Neither Webb’s nor The Seller is responsible for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplemental material.

4.3.

Bidding as a Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price including the buyer’s premium and all applicable taxes, plus all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed in writing with Webb’s before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Webb’s and that Webb’s will only look to the principal for payment.

Images are measured height by width (sight size). Illustrations are provided only as a guide and should not be relied upon as a true representation of colour or condition. Images are not shown at a standard scale. Mention is rarely made of frames (which may be provided as supplementary images on the website) which do not form part of the lot as described in the printed catalogue.

An item bought “on Extension” must be paid for in full before it will be released to the purchaser or his/ her agreed expertising committee or specialist. Payments received for such items will be held “in trust” for up to 90 days or earlier, if the issue of authenticity has been resolved more quickly. Extensions must be requested before the auction.

4.4.

International Registrations All International clients not known to Webb’s will be required to scan or fax through an accredited form of photo identification and pay a deposit at our discretion in cleared funds into Webb’s account at least 24 hours before the commencement of the auction. Bids will not be accepted without this deposit. Webb’s also reserves the right to request any additional forms of identification prior to registering an overseas bid.

Foreign buyers should note that all transactions are in New Zealand Dollars so there may be a small exchange rate risk. The costs associated with acquiring a good opinion or certificate will be carried by the purchaser. If the item turns out to be forged or otherwise incorrectly described, all reasonable costs will be borne by the vendor.

This deposit can be made using a credit card, however the balance of any purchase price in excess of $5,000 cannot be charged to this card without prior arrangement.

3.

Buyers Responsibility All property is sold “as is” without representation or warranty of any kind by Webb’s or the Seller. Buyers are responsible for satisfying themselves concerning the condition of the property and the matters referred to in the catalogue by requesting a condition report.

4.5.

Absentee Bids Webb’s will use reasonable efforts to execute written bids delivered to us AT LEAST 24 Hours before the sale for the convenience of those clients who are unable to attend the auction in person. If we receive identical written bids on a particular lot, and at the auction these are the highest bids on that lot, then the lot will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first.

Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors or omissions which may arise.

It is the bidder’s responsibility to check with Webb’s after the auction if they were successful. Unlimited or “Buy” bids will not be accepted.

No lot to be rejected if, subsequent to the sale, it has been immersed in liquid or treated by any other process unless the Auctioneer’s permission to subject the lot to such immersion or treatment has first been obtained in writing.

Reserves Unless otherwise indicated, all lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which the Lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue.

The auctioneer may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller.

The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders.
