£1,000-1,500 Note: A skilled portraitist who mastered the art of silhouette making, French-born Auguste Edouart initially began his career producing portraits from hair. After resigning from his position in Napoleon’s army, Edouart travelled extensively around Europe and America where he developed his skill at free-hand paper cutting, producing life-like portraits in minutes. Edouart settled in Edinburgh for three years in 1829, producing around 5,000 silhouettes during this time. Much of his work features a number of profiles in large groups rather than individual sitters, illustrating his ability to represent a range of ages and social types. In this example, the complex composition depicts several generations, as well as the family’s servants and their pet dog, set within an elaborate interior. Throughout his prolific career, Edouart’s reputation gained him many commissions from high profile individuals such as Victor Hugo and Sir Walter Scott.

18 THE STORRAR COVERLET - A RARE EARLY 18TH CENTURY WOOLLEN DOUBLE CLOTH COVERLET DATED 1729 two colour wool double cloth, yellow green on a red ground, woven with allover repeat pattern of flowering foliage and opposed birds, with chequer borders, the date 1729 woven in a repeating strip to each end 168cm long, 128cm wide Please note a dye analysis is available on request.

£10,000-15,000

Exhibited: Falkland Palace, 1995 Literature: ‘Scotch Carpets in the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries’ Textile History, 28 (2), 1997, 161-175. ’Kilmarnock Carpets in the American Colonies’ in Making for America, Transatlantic Craftsmanship: Scotland and the Americas in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, Eds. Vanessa Habib, Jim Gray and Sheila Forbes, Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, 2013, 151- 169.

Note: The Storrar Coverlet, which has the date 1729 woven into the border, is thought to have been handed from generation to generation, from first daughter to first daughter and is a remarkable survivor of a once common domestic textile. It is a two-colour wool double cloth in red and yellow green and woven in one piece, composed of two layers of cloth which interchange with each other to create the pattern and to provide thickness and warmth. In a very coarse weave these flat weave double cloths were used on the floor and known as ‘Scotch Carpets’. They became hugely popular in the Scottish home, often highly coloured and patterned and exported to many parts of Europe and the Americas. Handloom weavers often made both coverlets and carpets, probably using the same repertoire of patterns for both. An advertisement in the Caledonian Mercury from the Dalkeith Carpet Manufactory in April 1763 describes “the very best Scots (sic) Carpets, both ingrained and common colours; also coverings of all kinds for the navy or hospital bed.” Throughout the 18th century many kinds of bed covers or quilts were made to grace this most important item of household furniture: from the finest embroidered oriental silks and Indian calicos; crewel work; embroidered blankets; and the more utilitarian overshot coverlet where coarse coloured woollen yarns were floated over a plain weave, often linen, base. ‘Carpet coverlids’ (coverlets) are sometimes mentioned in Scottish Inventories in lists of bedding and napery. A weaver in Kilmarnock named John Murchland was awarded a Premium by the Board of Trustees for Fisheries, Manufactures and Improvements in 1736, for setting up a “Manufacture of Coverlets or Paislim Coverings for Floors which will ...Improve the Manufacture of Searges there, the Coarsest of the Wooll being very good for this ...” These more homely bed covers rarely survive and it is remarkable that The Storrar Coverlet is in such good condition with little sign of wear or fading. In Scandinavia, patterned coverlets woven in double cloth, often with one warp and weft

of linen and the second of wool were a prized part of family celebrations. A curious feature of this coverlet is the incomplete repeat at both sides, although there are no raw edges. Perhaps the pattern for this piece had been originally designed for a larger woollen hanging. Although long in the Storrar family, the origin of the coverlet is unknown. Described as the Storrars of Orphat (Nether Urquhart, Cupar, Fife) the family was long associated with Fife. But the county itself had strong trading links with continental Europe and Scandinavia. Many Scottish merchants were based abroad dealing in both wool and linen cloth. Experts from Holland, France and England came to Scotland bringing new fashions and manufacturing techniques with them. In the century between the departure of James VI for London and the Union of 1707 there were opportunities for the development of wool manufacturing at home which were encouraged by Royal patronage and statute. Patterns of birds in a flowering tree or in a dovecot are often found on textiles, seen for example in several coverlets in the collections of the Nordiska museet in Stockholm, of a later date. Paired birds on The Storrar Coverlet suggest the marking of a betrothal or a birth in 1729. Family research records the marriage of Richard Storrar of Orphat to Margaret Paterson in 1787 and it may be that the coverlet came into the family through the previous generation. Over a century later, commemorative Jacquard woven quilts and coverlets continued to feature birds, frequently emblematic birds such as eagles in the United States. In Scotland, The Storrar Coverlet reminds us of the skills of handloom weaving wool and worsted cloths which are now largely lost. Yet it has survived despite state encouragement for the linen trade and the subsequent onslaught of the cotton industry. Lyon & Turnbull thanks textiles historian Vanessa Habib for her help in cataloguing this lot.

64 GREEK REVIVAL PAINTED FIRECLAY CHIMNEY POT BY ALEXANDER ‘GREEK’ THOMSON CIRCA 1877 of cylindrical form incised and painted with Greek Revival anthemion and scrollwork banded decoration 40.5cm diameter, 110cm high Note: This chimney pot was designed by the eminent Glasgow architect Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson (18171875) for Millbrae Crescent, Glasgow. Millbrae Crescent consists of an elegant row of two-storey terraced houses believed to have been designed by Thomson and Robert Turnbull and was completed in 1877. ‘Greek’ Thomson was so named because of his decision, in the mid-1850s, to adopt the Greek idiom as his only language of expression.

His naturalistic depictions of figures such as Mary, Queen of Scots, James VI of Scotland and Robert Tannahill won him many accolades, shortly after his 8 year apprenticeship with sculptor William Brodie in the 1860s. Stevenson frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and, by 1876, he was elected Associate at the Royal Scottish Academy.

£400-600 Note: Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, the Orkney Chair has evolved over time from a low round stool completely covered in straw, to a distinctive low chair with a straw back. On the largely treeless northern isles, straw quickly became an important alternative material for the manufacture of furniture and other practical domestic items. Some designs feature a hood, thought to provide shelter from any draughts. Later, inset seats began to replace solid wooden bases and the chairs were made commercially by local craftsmen such as David Kirkness. Retailers such as Liberty of London regularly sold Orkney chairs during the early 20th century.

197 A MODEL OF A SINGLE SCREW STEAMER GOTHLAND 1932 built by A. J. Berry-Robinson for Mr W. Adams, the ship supplied to Builders H. Robb Ltd., Dundee, contained in a brass framed display case with engraved plaque with details, the hull stiffened for use in icy waters 79cm model length

£1,500-2,000

Note: Built at Henry Robb Shipyards and ordered by The Currie Line, the Gothland weighed 1286 tons, and was launched in March 1932. With a length of 250 feet, the ship was primarily used on the Leith to Hamburg route in peacetime. In 1940 she was taken over by the Ministry of Defence. SS Gothland was in convoy rescue service sailing with 41 convoys and rescued 149 seamen. This service came about when it was noticed no provisions had been made for the rescue of sailors from sunk or damaged ships. Cargo vessels were converted to hold around 150 people, with larger catering and storage facilities for supplies, and basic medical services along with AA guns. Although they were supplying a rescue service, they were still a target, unlike Hospital ships. Gothland was also useful in the North Atlantic as her hull had been strengthened for working in icy waters. Before being demobilised after the end of hostilities, she came back to the yard for inspection. To the satisfaction of the owners and the firm of Henry Robb it was found that after a prolonged period of excessive strain, the hull showed no sign of any structural defects, and the worst that could be found was a few slack rivets, a real testament to the shipbuilders who built her. The ship was sold to Claymore Shipping London in 1958 and renamed ‘Asrar’. In 1984 Henry Robb ran out of orders and closed in early 1984, ending over 600 years of shipbuilding in Leith. The land once occupied by Robb’s shipyard is now the Ocean Terminal shopping centre, home to the Royal Yacht Britannia.

These model ships and paintings form part of a collection, of which the remaining examples will be included in the Five Centuries sale on September 4th 2019. They formed an all-round display in the previous owner’s home which had a wide view over the Forth, underlining his interest in the sea, shipbuilding and ships. There is a surprising contrast between the finely detailed and accurately rendered ships models in the collection and the group of paintings by Malcolm Cheape which are quite free in their execution. Cheape however was also keen to research his subject thoroughly, not only in the configuration of the ships but also in the accuracy of the surroundings into which they are set. Cheape graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee in 1987 and has worked widely in Scotland and London ever since. His subject matter is drawn almost exclusively from the sea. His distinctive style combines paint, ink, pencil marks, paper and tape and are multi-layered pieces that are held in a number of private and public collections.

William Adam, who commissioned these works was Leith born and bred and wanted to own scale models of the ships that he knew. He met Alan Berry-Robinson in London in 2008 and commissioned a model of SS Gothland in 2009, shortly followed by SS Pharos and SS Sunniva in 2010. All were built in the builder’s-model style with gilded/silvered deck fittings on a carved timber hull, from original plans and photographs and, of course, Bill’s memory. The last commission was for MS Hubert in 2015.

198 A MODEL OF A SINGLE SCREW STEAMER SS “ST SUNNIVA II” Built by A. J. Berry Robinson for Mr W. Adams, the ship supplied to The North of Scotland & Orkney & Shetland Steam Navigation Company Ltd, builders Neil Russell and Co. Aberdeen, within a brass framed glazed display case

Note: Built by Hall Russell and Co. of Aberdeen, the St. Sunniva was named after one of the first purpose-built cruise ships which was launched in 1897. Hall Russell & Co. was founded in 1864 and closed in 1992. The firm built iron and steel ships of every kind ranging from cargo vessels to warships and fishing trawlers, making Aberdeen a name synonymous with engineering excellence around the world. Initially, the company made engines and boilers but in 1868 produced its first ship. Hall Russell & Co. Ltd was the last of the Aberdeen shipbuilders.

Model Length: 92cm

£2,500-3,500

The ST SUNNIVA II had a similar career to the GOTHLAND. Built in 1931 as a passenger vessel for the North of Scotland, Orkney & Shetland Steam Navigation Co., she was requisitioned by the Admiralty as a guard ship, and in 1940 was converted into an accommodation vessel. In September 1942 she was further converted into a Convoy Rescue Ship. After further refitting, she left Greenock on 3rd January 1943 on her first assignment and joined the New York-bound 35 ship convoy, which sailed from Liverpool on the 2nd of January. She was last sighted 21st January 1943 off Sable Island, Nova Scotia and it is believed that the ship capsized without warning due to severe icing up. No trace of the ship or her 64 crew and medical staff were ever found.

Note: PHAROS VII was in service with The Northern Lighthouse Board from launch in 1909 to 1955. Built by Wm. Beardmore & Co. Ltd Glasgow. It was broken up in Charlestown, Fife by Shipbreaking Industries Ltd. Beardmores were one of many large shipbuilders on the Clyde. At their peak they employed around 40,000 workers. Their original industry was steel forging but in 1900 they took over Napier and sons in Govan and moved into the shipbuilding industry, however they were also known for the production of cars and motorcycles as well as a variation on the ‘London Black Taxi’

199 A CASED MODEL OF A LIGHTHOUSE AND BUOY TENDER PHAROS VII 1909 built by A. J. Berry Robinson, for Mr W. Adams, the ship supplied to The Commissioners of The Northern Lighthouse Board, in a brass framed glazed display case with engraved plaque 61cm length of model

The duties of the PHAROS VII like all others owned before and since include the delivery of stores and supplies, buoy working and the replacement ships now have the added statutory inspection of the navigation aids on oil rigs in the Scottish sector

17.5cm long, 3.3oz Note: Charles Fowler’s work in Elgin is often denoted by fine quality, even in the smallest of items. While his hand is seen in various larger items including mugs and quaichs, his work is predominantly flatware. He is unique in Elgin as he seems to have adopted an unofficial date letter system using not only the C and F of his makers punch struck to replicate a date letter (as seen here), but also had a variety of other punches from A - H. Whether this had any direct correlation with the date letter cycle in Edinburgh at the time is unknown but seems unlikely. It does however show an understanding of the regulations and practices and a local maker’s attempt to work ‘within’ them.

22.5cm long, 56g

21.5cm long, 56.8g

£300-500

Note: This previously unrecorded Glasgow maker’s mark appears to date to the middle of the 18th century and bears the pseudo date letter O which is most commonly associated with the period 1757 - 1780. The initials could relate to either Thomas Barr or Thomas Bisbrown but both these men are only recorded as Journeymen so would not have had their own mark. The only Freeman of Glasgow whose initials fit are those of Thomas Brydson who was made free in 1779 and only worked for four years. While it is a tentative attribution, Brydson seems the most likely maker of this piece.

Note: The handle to this mug is very recognisable as a Glasgow style. While it is not unique to Glasgow it must be considered a Glasgow fashion and would for example be considered very rare if encountered in Edinburgh.

Although recorded in Perth as early as 1724 they appear to have worked in Edinburgh and possibly Elgin as well. No marks have been confidently ascribed to either of these periods and all their work is tied to Perth. The marks they used fall into three groups (all with the very recognisable IB and FB maker’s marks), with PERTH in full, a large Fleur de Lys, as seen on this spoon, what appears to be an armorial bearing. The use of the armorial punch has not been explained and the use is certainly their rarest. Its large size means that when encountered it is often poorly struck leaving details hard to ascertain.

Note: Leith Town Hall and Library is a B-listed complex of three buildings situated on Ferry Road in North Leith. The building, made from sandstone ashlar (highly characteristic of Edinburgh) was designed by architects Bradshaw, Gass and Hope in an interwar classical style. The structure has a socially historical significance attached to it. This complex was gifted to the Burgh of Leith by Edinburgh council following the merger of Leith into Edinburgh on 10th October 1920. The significance of these ceremonial pieces date back to when the work on the building first started, when the Lord Provost of the time, Sir Alexander Stevenson, laid the foundation stone on 11th October 1929. The laying of the foundation stone by the Lord Provost of Edinburgh was highly symbolic as it represented a union between Leith and Edinburgh, which had been notoriously divided for many years.

Note: Engraved with the crest and motto for Hope; of a broken terrestrial globe beneath a cloud-issuing rainbow with the motto ‘At Spes Infracta’; (Yet my hope is unbroken). Likely for John Hope, 2nd Earl of Hopetoun (1704 - 1781).

£150-180

For two generations The Hopetoun family, Charles and John Hope 1st and 2nd Earls, were perhaps the most important commissioners of silver in Scotland. Their influence on the Edinburgh trade appears to have not only to have given many valuable and important commissions, but to have encouraged the the goldsmiths to new heights, resulting in truly fashionable and important items. As with all family commissions, the success of the family closely directly relates to the commissions and need for silver. The boom in commissions seems to have occurred from 1699 when the architect William Bruce was commissioned by Margaret Hope, Charles’s mother, to create Hopetoun House, built in its original form between 1699 and 1702. This original Bruce building has been much changed by later work with the William Adam rebuild of 1721.

412

Flatware bearing the armorial/ crest is surprisingly rare. It is unknown how large the original services of flatware within Hopetoun House were. Oddly, these pieces do not seem to have survived, and it is predominantly larger important pieces which are still recorded. It is highly likely these smaller items were regularly recycled into larger impressive wares and while obviously made in large numbers, few survive.

Note: This remarkable new discovery is arguably amongst the finest work by the highly regarded ‘Edinburgh Golden Age’ maker Colin McKenzie and is also likely to be one of the largest early 18th century pieces of Scottish silver to survive. While punch bowls would have been commonplace in Scotland at the time, only the very highest levels of society would have been able to afford a silver example, most making do with ceramic. There are currently only ten pre-1710 punch bowls, or Montieths recorded, with at least five in museums / institutional collections. Indeed, it is not until the very late 18th century that punch bowls of any form can be considered anything other than rare in Scotland. Colin McKenzie is amongst the most important early 18th century Edinburgh (and Scottish) makers. His hand is linked to many important examples of silver and what must be considered some of the finest and most fashionable items of their day. From tankards and tazze to candlesticks and, as under discussion, Montieths and punch bowls, not to mention the only surviving toilet service hallmarked in 1703. The two earliest Montieths in Scotland are by his hand, one in a Private Collection (Mount Stuart) and the other the Kinloch Monteith (City of Edinburgh Museums), both dated 1698. Each of these weighs in excess of 70oz, making them not only among the finest but also the largest extant.

McKenzie was trained in the workshop of James Penman and therefore completed his apprenticeship in one of the most successful workshops of the late 17th century. He was trained alongside a remarkable group of silversmiths whose work would define the early part of the next century and whose legacy would last well beyond their working lives. When Colin McKenzie was completing his apprenticeship he would have trained and worked with Thomas Ker, Henry Bethune and Edward Penman, all makers whose work must be considered as fine a quality as their master and McKenzie. After gaining his freedom in 1695 McKenzie’s career flourished, during which time he took on ten apprentices including two of his sons, and he is recorded working up until at least 1720. For a maker of such renown it is interesting to note that although an active member of The Incorporation of Goldsmiths of The City of Edinburgh he never served as Deacon. A bold example of McKenzie’s work, this piece typifies his quality in manufacture, his use of large and bold proportions and also the plain almost austere form of the period.

£150-180

Maureen Edgar is arguably Scotland’s most important enameller and while her name is not yet known to as many collectors as it should the appreciation of her work is becoming widespread. Her work can be found in the collections of The National Museum Scotland, Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh, The Goldsmiths Company London and likely the largest grouping within The Pearson Silver Collection. Artistic from an early age, Maureen Edgar started her art training with an evening class at Glasgow School of Art and was latterly accepted to Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee. Here she moved from painting to the silver and jewellery department where she found her passion. Like many of the period, she trained under the eye of Bernard Harrington. It was in 1977 that she applied, and to her own surprise, was accepted to the Royal College of Art and would further her training under Gerald Benney for three years.

425 A COLLECTION OF MODERN SCOTTISH ENAMEL EARRINGS comprising three pairs of earrings, each with black ground enamel, one disc shaped with gold baton inlay; an interchangeable pair of black and white zig zag with removable central domed stud (comes with smaller studs to replace), and a pair of curved with white snake skin detail, all in original boxes (8) £200-300

In Maureen’s own words about working with Benney ‘This was my biggest opportunity’. Building from her training at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art this would prove to be the final link in the chain turning Maureen fully into an enameller. Her work was almost immediately a success and even early in her career she was gaining a reputation and large commissions. This early success perhaps explains the relative rarity of her jewellery as she immediately found work in larger commissions such as goblets, eggs and napkin rings. Sadly, due to ill health her career was cut short prematurely and she retired from working in 1999, with her final commission being the cruet set for The Millennium Collection of silver for Bute House. For a full biography and illustrations of much of her important work see ‘Designer British Silver’ John Andrew and Derek Styles page 194 - 199.

£150-250

Note: The original made circa 1500 can found housed in the British Museum and was discovered on the Estate of Lochbuie in Mull. By descent through the female line, the brooch was handed down until Anna Campbell, lady to Murdock McLean who had no male issue. She gave it to Isabella McLean, their daughter, spouse to John Scrogie, Esq, to whom she presented it to on the day after their marriage. The Lochbuie brooch is very similar to that of two other contemporary brooches, the Ugadale or Lossit brooch and the Brooch of Lorn all of turreted form.

£300-500

Note: This lot has been granted a license from Scottish Natural Heritage, and it contains fresh water pearls legally taken from the wild prior to 27 March 1991. During the ‘killing times’ of the 1680’s many martyrs were put to death due to their religious beliefs. Margaret Wilson, her younger sister Agnes, and Margaret McLaughlin succumbed to this fate, as covenanters, as they refused to swear an oath to James VII as head of the church.

Two Biblical references are noted on the box and two are engraved on the brooch, Zechariah 4:6 and Luke 11:9 on the box, and Ephesians 3:17-19 and Philippians 4:7 on the reverse of the brooch. Three similar brooches can be found in the Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum. See ‘A History of Stirling in 100 Objects’, Elspeth King, 2011. Taken from New International Version (NIV), the biblical references are as follows;

Agnes was only 12 at the time, and was spared, but is depicted in the memorial commissioned by William Drummond of Stirling in 1859. The statue depicts a guardian angel watching over Margaret Wilson reading the Bible to her younger sister, Agnes. In addition to the statue, William Drummond commissioned this brooch for all female members of his family for the inauguration of the Drummond funded Virgin Martyrs’ memorial.

Ephesians 3:17-19

The brooch, heavily symbolic, with the three forget-me-nots for each woman, the pearl symbolising purity and most significantly the cross, crown and laurel leaves of martyrdom.

Philippians 4:7

[17] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, [18] may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, [19] and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. [7] And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Zechariah 4:6 [6] So he said to me, This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. Luke 11:9 [9] So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Literature: Kelvin, M. (2003). The Jacobite Legacy. 1st ed. Wigtown: G C Book Publishers Ltd, p.151. Note: Alexander Smith of Longmay (also known as Lonmay) near Peterhead was based very close to Pitsligo Castle. Although his name is not listed among the ranks of the Pitsligo Regiment it is highly likely he was a volunteer within their ranks. A staunchly Jacobite area, the regiment contained many local people who lived on or near the estates and marched under Forbes of Pitslgio’s name throughout the ‘45. While the Latin motto to this piece Post Nubila Phabus could be a family one, its translation as ‘Sunshine After Clouds’ has a very Jacobite sympathy and mind set. The Sunshine being interpreted as the restoration of the Stuart from the Cloud of the Hanoverian rule.

458 A BRONZE JACOBITE ‘BRAVADO’ MEDALLION DATED 1749 obverse, a standing figure of a Highlander, the targe with motto within QUIS CONTENDAT MECUM (Who can contend with me) and raised sword, motto NULLUM NON MOVEBO LAPIDEM UT ILLUD ADIPISCAR 1749 (I will leave no stone unmoved to obtain that, 1749), the reverse with open displayed Jacobite rose head, legend around MEA.RES.AGITUR (My affairs are at issue) 31mm across, 16.4g Literature: ‘The Medallic Record of the Jacobite Movement’, N Woolf, item 61:1a ’British Commemorative Medals, and their values’, C Eimer, item 624

£200-300 Note: Perhaps one of the most commonly encountered Jacobite medallions, it shows the strength and support Charles Edward was gaining. No two symbols can show greater connection and power to the cause than the fighting Highlander in full dress or the Jacobite rose so commonly encountered in all aspects of Jacobite art. The mottos and legends offer little disguise in the support of the Stuarts and are an open display of force towards the Hanoverians. Unlike many medallions which show a gentle or political side to propaganda this is a defiant show of force, giving rise to this medallion being called the Bravado medallion. The maker, although unrecorded, is possibly connected to the Capture of Edinburgh medallion as there are many similarities in the engraving of the Highlander and the lettering to the legends. This connection assumes that this medallion was locally produced in Scotland for distribution around followers and supports still loyal after the failure of the uprising. Mass produced and widely issued, there are two variations of dies used for this medal and it appears to have been produced in silver, bronze and gilded bronze over a number of years as striking and die quality varies.

459 A CONTINENTAL SILVER AND GILT BUCKLE MID-18TH CENTURY the shaped oval outline with applied chased silver scrolls enclosing the supports of Ian Dubh Mackinnon, Chief of Clan Mackinnon, the reverse engraved “Carolus Princeps Deo Tibi Patriae”, with hinged curved double buckle 74mm high, 65mm across Literature: Kelvin, M. (2003). The Jacobite Legacy. 1st ed. Wigtown: G C Book Publishers Ltd, p.48. Note: The support of the Mackinnon clan is well recorded through both the ‘15 and the ‘45. Ian Dubh Mackinnon, Chief of the Clan joined Prince Charles after the battle of Prestonpans and marched with him to England. He and 120 of his clansmen stood beside Charles at the battle of Falkirk. After the defeat of the Jacobite army at Culloden in 1746 Ian Dubh Mackinnon went with Prince Charles from the mainland to Skye in the same boat and retreated together for five days till the Prince went to Macdonald of Morar and latterly escaped back to the continent. Mackinnon was captured only the day after leaving the Prince and was imprisoned by Hanoverian troops and tried. It was not until 1759 he would be pardoned for his offences. This buckle would appear to be a gift from Prince Charles and the fact that is of continental manufacture would support this. The use of the supporters, a lion and leopard, which are unique in this form to the Mackinnon’s shows a very personal touch to the presentation. The symbolism of the lion at the base where the scrolls emanate is also very symbolic. It can be taken to mean kingship and connection, or that the lion mask is indeed representing the Stuarts and by intertwining the Mackinnon support it shows their close connection. As the lion mask has both the ram and sheep sitting by its side, this seems likely as these would represent the subjects awaiting the dynasty’s restoration.

460 A GOLD MOUNTED RING ENCLOSING A LOCK OF PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART’S HAIR MID-18TH CENTURY the oval gold head enclosing a tied lock of hair under a glazed domed panel, the reverse of the setting engraved Mèche de cheveux de Prince Charles Edward Stuart 1744.”, set to a simple gold shank Ring head 13mm x 17mm Literature: Kelvin, M. (2003). The Jacobite Legacy. 1st ed. Wigtown: G C Book Publishers Ltd, p.132 - 133.

£2,000-3,000 Note: While various locks of Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s hair survive it is highly unusual to find one with a dated presentation and even more so to a date pre the launch of the ‘45 campaign. Given the date of thivs presentation, it appears this lock must have been given to a supporter while Charles waited to embark on his journey to Scotland from Dunkirk in 1744.

461 A JACOBITE SEAL RING LATE 18TH CENTURY the banded agate intaglio of shield-shaped outline, engraved with displayed rose head and single bud emanating from stem with motto Turno Tempus Erit above, set in a tradition collet setting with deep scroll to the shoulders Intaglio 11mm widest part Literature: Seddon, G. (2001). The Jacobites and their drinking glasses. Woodbridge, Suffolk: Antique Collectors’ Club, p.107.

£600-800 Note: The motto seen in connection to the typical Jacobite rose and bud, Turno Tempus Erit, translates as ‘For Turnus there will come a time’. This appears to have been taken from the Xth book of Virgils Aeneid. Turnus had killed Aeneas’ friend, Pallas. Later when Aeneas overcame Turnus, the King of the Rutuli, in battle, he was about to spare his life, however he noticed that Turnus was wearing Pallas’ gold sword belt. He was so incensed that he killed him in retribution.

This motto and story shows the classical ideas which the 18th century Jacobites placed themselves under. Seeing the cause as such an important and God given right, in this case Turnus represents the Hanoverian Duke of Cumberland, their foe in many battles, and the Stuarts as Aeneas. Although a motto rarely seen, it is also recorded on a Jacobite wine glass within the Drambuie Collection

462 AN IMPORTANT JACOBITE SOCIETY OF SEA SERGEANTS’ RING 18TH CENTURY the oval hardstone carved with a dolphin / sea serpent with sun radiating from behind, collet set within an oval setting, the shank with deeply cast shoulders with a butterfly and rose to both sides, the shank engraved Success to the Society Intaglio 7mm x 9mm Literature: Kelvin, M. (2003). The Jacobite Legacy. 1st ed. Wigtown: G C Book Publishers Ltd, p.136 (39)

£1,000-1,500

Note: The Jacobite Society of Sea Sergeants was based in West and South Wales. They convened once a year at a seaside location, often for a week at a time, and unlike some societies did have women present at meetings. The emblem and motto of the society can also be found on rare glassware (see The Jacobites and their Drinking Glasses, G. B. Seddon pp. 68 - 69, plate 7.). Since it is the only recorded example of fine quality, it would seem highly unlikely it was a standard piece owned or worn by all members. This perhaps suggest that this was worn by the chairman of the society.

463 A PORTRAIT SEAL OF PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART the oval carnelian matrix with intaglio carved halflength portrait bust of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, after the engraving by Sir Robert Strange, collet set in a gilded mount with intricate scroll suspension which forms a stylised crown, in fitted case 45mm overall length, intaglio 26mm high

£1,200-1,800

Literature: Kelvin, M. (2003). The Jacobite Legacy. 1st ed. Wigtown: G C Book Publishers Ltd, p.142 (2) Note: The finely carved detail so closely follows the known engraving by Sir Robert Strange of Prince Charles while he was in Edinburgh in 1746 that it offers the tantalising possibility that this was engraved by Sir Robert Strange himself or certainly under his close supervision. Another seal of this pattern is recorded within the collection of Blair Castle.

464 A DESK SEAL 18TH CENTURY the brass matrix engraved with the crest of Robertson with motto ’Virtutis Gloria Merces’ above, mounted to a simple turned wooden handle 70mm high, matrix 20mm diameter Heraldry: The crest as engraved upon this 18th century brass and wooden-handled Desk Seal is that of the chiefly family of Robertson of Struan. It may be blazoned as follows: Crest: A dexter hand erect holding an imperial crown all proper Motto: Virtutis gloria merces [Glory is the reward of valour] Provenance: Discovered in a house in Lauder, circa 1965 Anderson & Garland, Northumberland, 9th May 2006

£300-500

Note: Alexander Robertson of Struan was a committed Jacobite. Born in 1668, he joined the Jacobite army, but was captured following its withdrawal from Dunkeld. He succeeded in escaping to France, and was subsequently attainted until 1703, when he could return to Scotland. In 1715 he again supported the Jacobite cause, raising, it is said, 500 of his clan, but was taken once more, this time at the Battle of Sheriffmuir. With the assistance of his sister, he escaped yet again, and once more fled to France. Although attainted by Act of Parliament for a second time, he could return home in 1732.

In 1745, Struan was 77 years of age, yet nevertheless led 150 of his tenants to join the Prince, and, being too old himself to take up arms, returned to his home in General Cope’s carriage, which had been captured at Prestonpans, reputedly with the general’s furred nightgown and gold chain as trophies. Murray of Broughton wrote of him: “he is an old Batcheler, (sic) lived long abroad, and is reckoned a man of letters”. He was permitted to remain at Struan, and died at Carie on the Struan estate in 1749, 2000 men following his coffin 14 miles from Rannoch to Struan Kirk. In 1725 he was reportedly created a Knight and Baronet by King James VIII. He wrote in English as well as Gaelic, and a book of his poetry was published in 1789.

465 A PORTRAIT MINIATURE OF PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART AFTER MAURICE QUENTIN DE LA TOUR, 18TH CENTURY the half-length portrait on vellum of Prince Charles in armour with sash of The Order of The Garter, neck badge of The Order of The Thistle and draped in an ermine lined red velvet cloak, glazed and within gilt metal frame with scroll surmount 72cm x 59cm Provenance: Fine Portrait Miniatures, Bonham’s London, 17 November 2004, lot 11. Note: This portrait is a copy of the (now lost) original 1747 portrait in pastel by Maurice Quentin de la Tour. While the original is lost, various copies are recorded. This miniature appears to closely follow a copy by John Daniel Kamm in its composition and being landscape rather than the more traditional portrait alignment. These copies by Kamm were likely painted circa 1749 when George Watts, banker to Prince Charles, mentioned copies were being produced. This example closely matches this date and is probably after a Kamm original.

466 A JACOBITE FOB SEAL MID-18TH CENTURY the rounded rectangular citrine seal engraved with a displayed rose with single bud and thistle emanating, with motto REDII above, in a simple collet setting engraved David Rodger around with scroll suspension Seal 11mm x 10mm Literature: Kelvin, M. (2003). The Jacobite Legacy. 1st ed. Wigtown: G C Book Publishers Ltd, p.143 (11)

Note: Whilst at first glance, the motto to this piece seems a common and recognisable version often seen on wine glasses, on closer inspection it tells a much deeper story. The motto more commonly seen is REDITT rather than REDII. Reditt translates as ‘will return’ however Redii means ‘I have returned’. It has been long-considered that this motto relates to the clandestine visit of Prince Charles to London in 1750. It is recorded that he visited the Jacobite Oak Society meeting that year (which was commemorated in a medallion) and stayed with Lady Primrose.

£1,500-2,500

Note: The Jacobite motto ‘Awa Whigs Awa’ was a popular and long enduring one.

However by 1747 it is recorded that Strange was living in semi anonymity in Edinburgh (perhaps due to his overt support for the cause) and he made his living selling miniatures of the Prince. While not signed, the quality of the engraved print and the period frame do offer the possibility this was of the period.

Note: Hidden portrait snuff boxes such as this are amongst the most iconic Jacobite works of art. While they are a well recorded type, they are rare in any form. This example is in particularly good condition and finely enamelled. The portrait is a variant of the famous Sir Robert Strange example which likely date this piece to circa 1750. For a similar example but with a pasted engraved print on the interior of lid see Lyon & Turnbull ‘Scottish Silver & Applied Art’ 17th August 2016, lot 496 (sold for £10,000 hammer).

470 A RARE RELIQUARY PENDANT FOR KING JAMES II the silver heart-shaped pendant with pull-off cover, the obverse engraved with initial IR with crown above and heart below, within circular cartouche, the border with oak leaf border, the reverse engraved ‘IHS’ within oak leaf border, the interior with fragment of what is believed to be a section of King James' pericardium 30mm including bale x 33mm Note: Reliquary pendants are more regularly for King Charles I after his beheading in 1649 and are seen in similar form with much the same motifs and iconography. Some rarer examples do feature engraved portraits of King Charles of memento mori motif, such as skulls. While the relic inside the pendant is now almost perished it is considered that due to iconography on the obverse showing the heart under the initials for King James that this could be what it held. While it would not have been flesh of the actual heart itself it would more likely have been a section of pericardium - the fibrous membrane which encloses the heart. This would not be unusual as another reliquary containing a portion of James’ pericardium is known at Chiddingstone Castle, Kent.

471 THE NERQUIS HALL/ WHITE ROSE CYCLE CLUB PORTRAIT PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART oil on canvas, within gilt frame, the profile bust within feigned oval, showing Prince Charles in armour with Order of the Garter Sash and Order of The Thistle pendant 24.5cm x 20cm Provenance: Nerquis Hall by descent Edward Williams (Cycle Club member from 1735) Robert Hyde (Cycle Club member from 1746) Reverend Maurice Wynne (Cycle Club member from 1815) By descent to Noel Lloyd Fletcher Wynne-Tringham, last Mr L Buckleyower of Nerquis Hall Gift to Mr Leonard W Buckley, 1963 Sold directly to current owner, 1997 Note: Nerquis Hall was built in 1637-38 on the order of John Wynn. A staunch Catholic family their support of the Stuart cause started from an early period. While a direct connection to the Wynn’s of Nerquis Hall and Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn who started the Cycle Club have not been found, it seems highly likely there was a close family tie. Indeed, there are various members of the family who are recorded in the membership rolls of the White Rose Cycle Club. Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn was amongst the most prominent Jacobites south of the border and certainly the staunchest supporter in Wales. He is credited with setting up the Cycle Club, perhaps the most active and well known of the numerous Jacobite clubs/ societies. Founded on 19th June 1710, the anniversary of the Old Pretenders birthday, the club would continue for over 150 years. Termed the Cycle Club as the meetings were held alternately in members’ houses and undoubtedly at Nerquis Hall, Watkin Williams-Wynn’s home, Wynnstay, seems to have been for general and anniversary meetings. The club’s rules and regulations are well known and the burden to attend meetings was key, all members having to attend each three-weekly meeting or give written notice as to why not. The members presumably had to supply their own glasses, which would explain the various patterns, style and engravers noted to those examples still surviving. As with all clubs, these glasses would have been used for communal toast and songs. The Cycle Club are one of the few societies which can claim an active part in the uprising of the ‘45. They marched to meet Charles’ army in England with men, money and supplies but by the time they reached Derby the Highland army was on retreat. In quick succession, they returned to Wales where the incriminating plans and papers were destroyed, although the club continued.

472 PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART’S SHOE BUCKLE 18TH CENTURY silver and gold-mounted, the navette shaped shoe buckle set with eighteen pastes claw set in silver with additional engraved gold inner border, the reverse converted to a brooch 52mm wide Provenance: By descent to Mrs Colquhoun, till circa 1888 By 1903 Mrs Robertson, Kingsburgh Bungalow, St Pierre du Bois, Guernsey With Francis Kerr by 1922 (whose hand-written note accompanies this lot) Private Collection Exhibited: Highland and Jacobite Exhibition Inverness 4th August - 20th September 1903, where described as ‘Brooch of old French paste, made from a shoe buckle worn by the Prince. Lent Mrs Robertson, Kingsburgh Bungalow, St Pierre du Bois, Guernsey’ Note: Although various buckles purport to have been given by Prince Charles to loyal supporters after he fled from the battlefield at Culloden few if any have an earlier history. This example is highly unusual having exhibition history back to 1903 and with written family provenance from 1922 detailing some earlier history. While the name of the original recipient is not mentioned, it seems possible it could have been gifted by the Prince to Donald Cameron of Glenpean. Donald Cameron had helped the Prince elude the Hanoverian troops and affect his eventual escape to the continent. Charles had stayed with Cameron on the 18th April 1746 and with MacDonald of Glenaladale near Glenfinnan they travelled a route through Corrour and the Braes of Moidart. Cameron saved the Princes’ life when, in the dark, he almost fell to his death. By the 22nd of July they parted ways and it is told that the Prince gave the gift of silver shoes buckles to him - amongst the last values he had about his person, having lost his baggage train after Culloden.

THE CREYKE FAMILY MINIATURES The Creyke family heritage appears to stem from Danish routes although they are recorded settled and holding the title of Governor in Berwick under the reign of Edward III in 1340. The family seem to have been spread along the borders of Scotland, York and wider afield in Yorkshire. By the time of the Stuart uprisings their seat was, and had been since 1447, Marton Hall in East Riding. However their connection to the Stuart cause goes much further back than the 18th century and they are recorded supporting and indeed suffering for their support upon the execution King Charles I. At this time the family patriarch was Gregory Crekye (born 1595) and it is recorded that for his support he ‘suffered greatly for his devoted attachment to Charles I, and compounded heavily for his estates’. Two of Gregory’s sons were also close adherents of the Stuarts. One being page to Queen Henrietta Maria and his eldest son Richard was commissioned by the Duke of Newcastle to guard the East Riding coast against the coming of William of Orange to over throw the Stuart King James II. In fact, it was Richard who personally delivered the fateful news to King James of William’s arrival. Setting in motion the Glorious Revolution and overthrow of the Stuart monarchy which would in turn create their supporters, the Jacobite’s. It is either this Richard Creyke or his son Reverend John Creyke who must be considered the original owners of these fine miniatures. In either case they were staunch Jacobite’s who as the miniature of King James suggest could have been given this directly for their long and well recorded support. Of course it was not only this past support but the need for future support through the uprisings of the 18th century which the Stuarts hoped to guarantee.

The Creyke support is seen early in the century with Reverend John who after the Jacobite defeat at Preston was so despondent by this defeat he refused on the 6th May 1718 to take the Oath of Allegiance to King George I. By doing so he had to resign from St. John College Cambridge. Almost immediately he appears to have taken refuge not at the family seat but under the care of the 5th Earl of Winchelsea, Heneage Fincha. So close was their relationship he stayed there as his chaplain and librarian until his death in 1757. This support was not only known locally but obviously met the ear of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, indeed he and Creyke may have had a more personal connection than is now understood. It is stated in an 1802 edition of Old Yorkshire that Prince Charles promised to Reverend Creyke that should he come to the throne that he would be granted the position as Archbishop of York. This obvious close connection tempts even further that these miniatures could in fact have been direct court gifts. It should also be said in case any doubt is still cast on the Reverend John Creyke’s Jacobite credentials it is recorded that not only was he present to witness the deaths of the Manchester Regiment soldiers so brutally dealt with for their ‘crime’ of taking arms for the Jacobite’s. But he also wrote the speeches given on the gallows by two of their soldiers. These speeches were written for Thomas Syddall and Thomas Deacon of Manchester. It therefore seems highly likely he would have been present at Southwark Gaol to comfort and consult with other prisoners and likely gave religious clemency to many. It would appear that these remarkable miniatures not only have a connection to a remarkable, and little known, Jacobite family but for their near 300 year existence have only been in the possession of two Jacobites, the Creyke family and one Private Collector.

498Y A SILVER AND TORTOISESHELL BOX, ENGRAVED WITH JACOBITE SYMBOLS MID-18TH CENTURY unmarked, plain silver moulded rims to lid and base, plain tortoiseshell base, the slightly rounded lid with delicately engraved landscape, with a tiled floor, table with crown jewels and a mitre, the sky with sun, moon and eye 12.4cm across Provenance: Scottish Silver and Applied Arts sale Lyon & Turnbull 17th August 2016, lot 495 Literature: For similar examples with this iconography see; Delieb, “Silver Boxes”, published by Ferndale, London 1979, illustrated pp 41-42, 45. ”The Swords and Sorrows”, National Trust for Scotland, London 1996 No 7:1

£1,500-2,500

Note: The hidden Jacobite symbolism on this box is not perhaps as obvious as those on glasses and other snuff boxes, however its meaning is deep within the Stuart cause. As discussed by Prof. J. H. Plumb, Vice Master of Christ’s College, Cambridge: “The son (pun on the ‘sun’) of Charles I - will return or emerge (as the moon is doing from the eclipse) from the Boscobel Oak (the oak tree with the Welsh mountains behind, which was commonly used as a symbol for Charles II at the time of the Commonwealth) to his kingdom (indicated by the engraved city on the right) or this might read from Breda (I have not seen an engraving of this city, but it might be related to a city with twin spires) and restore the succession (the crown), royal authority (orb), the church (mitre), bring peace (the spectre laid across the sword) restore the coinage (the bits of gold on the table), and hang (the halter) his enemies. There is the picture of a peaceful and plentiful countryside to the left. The fact of the guineas on the table, suggests, I think, that the box can be dated just after 1696 when the re-coinage by the government of William III created great difficulty for most people and brought about a chronic shortage of cash. Also, I think that this emblematic description of restoration of the Stuarts is cast in an historic form so that it could not be regarded as treasonable. It could be argued that it only depicted what had happened in 1660, although the implication, of course is clear enough: what happened once might happen again”.

502 AN ARCHITECTURAL CAPSTONE - OF JACOBITE INTEREST LATE 17TH CENTURY of triangular outline, cross sword and sceptre, with initials I E K, dated 1698 below, surmounted by crown 45cm high x 39cm at widest point Note: The Earldom of Kintore and Lord Keith of Inverurie and Keith Hall was created in 1677 and first issued to John Keith, maternal grandson of the Earl of Mar and the son of the 6th Earl of Marischal. The 10th and last Earl Marischal was John Keith (c. 1693-1778), a staunch Jacobite, he managed to escape to the Continent after actively participating in the rising of 1715, where he was able to serve the Jacobite court at Avignon and be its ambassador to Spain and then Prussia, dying in Potsdam in 1778. Although the original location of this stone is untraced it presumably graced a lintel or doorway above one of many properties owned by John Keith. It is tempting to consider it may have been removed after the ‘15 in defiance of his participation from one of his forfeited estates.

All that do survive seem to relate to the earlier period of the Uprisings and come from the first quarter of the 18th century.

The song of the cycle club being sung at each meeting in toast to the Jacobites was: I hope there’s no soul, That over his Bowl, But means honest Ends to pursue, With the Voice goes the Heart, And let’s never depart, From the Faith of an honest True Blue. True Blue! From faith of the honest True Blue. For Country and Friends, Let us dam private Ends, And keep old British Virtue in View, Despising the Tribe, Who are bought by Bribe, Let’s be Honest and ever True Blue True Blue! From faith of the honest True Blue. Here’s Health to all those, Who Slavery oppose, And our trade both defend and renew, And to each honest Voice, That concurs in the Choice, And Support of an honest True Blue, True Blue! From faith of the honest True Blue. (this last verse added in 1745) For the Days we’ve misspent, Let us truly repent, And render to Caesar his due, Here’s a Health to the Lad, With his Bonnet and Plaid, For the World cannot stain his True Blue. True Blue! From faith of the honest True Blue.

521 A RARE SET OF SIX ORDER OF THE GARTER JACOBITE WINE GLASSES

LATE 18TH/ EARLY 19TH CENTURY the tapered bowls with diamond engraved WW creating two panels with badge of The Order of Garter between, raised on short reeded knopped stem and domed foot (6) 9.2cm high Provenance: The Late Michael Buckingham Collection Believed to have been made for the Watkin Wynne family, by descent Note: Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn was amongst the most prominent Jacobites south of the border and certainly the staunchest supporter in Wales. He is credited with setting up the Cycle Club, perhaps the most active and well known of the numerous Jacobite clubs/societies. Founded on 19th June 1710, the anniversary of the Old Pretender’s birthday, the club would continue for over 150 years. Termed the Cycle Club as the meetings were held alternately in members houses and had a supposed base at Wynn’s home Wynnstay which seems to have been for general and anniversary meetings. The club’s rules and regulations are well known and the burden to attend meetings was key, all members having to attend each three-weekly meeting or give written notice as to why. Various glasses are associated with the Club, and it seems likely that members presumably had to supply their own glasses, which would explain the various patterns, styles and engraving noted to those still surviving. As with all clubs these glasses would have been used in the communal toast and songs. The Cycle club are one of the few societies which can claim an active part in the uprising of the ‘45. They marched to meet Charles’ army in England with men, money and supplies but by the time they reached Derby the Highland army was on retreat. In quick succession, they returned to Wales where the incriminating plans and papers were destroyed, although the club continued. Wynne himself an MP at the time survived the uprising relatively unscathed and indeed kept his seat in the Houses of Parliament. Perhaps no direct evidence could be found, or the Hanoverian retribution was focused more on the highland supporters seen to have betrayed the crown. His luck however ran out while in 1749 he died falling from his horse hunting. The Jacobite sympathies to these glasses is very covert and even the somewhat hidden nature of the WW’s is interesting. This presumably shows they were in use at a time when hiding ones sympathies was safer than advertising your belief in the cause. The Order of the Garter star is an emblem associated with some rare Jacobite glasses and it shows the right that the followers felt the Stuarts had to the throne. The Order of the Garter is seen in portrait and the use of chivalry within the cause and the Stuarts’ belief in their right to these honours is well recorded.

522 A RARE JACOBITE SYLLABUB GLASS MID-18TH CENTURY the flared bowl finely engraved with a rose head flanked by open and closed buds, on a compressed knop with air bubbles, on a stepped domed foot 10cm high Provenance: Private collection of G. S. May Esquire Note: This unusual glass seems to be a crossover pattern between a firing glass and a syllabub glass; an unusual pattern which is rarely seen with Jacobite engraving. Although of standard firing glass size it does not have the heavy thick foot that the standard form requires and the bowl shape is slightly later than the drawn bowls of the early 18th century when firing glasses were more common. The attractive compressed stem and domed foot along with the waisted bowl seem to suggest this is a syllabub glass.

524 A JACOBITE WINE GLASS MID-18TH CENTURY the bucket bowl engraved with open rose head flanked by open and closed buds, the reverse with displayed thistle, engraved above ‘SUCCESS TO THE SOCIETY’, raised on a multi-enamel twist stem and circular foot 15cm high Provenance: Private collection of G. S. May Esquire Note: Although the exact Society referenced on this glass has not been determined it appears to fall within a small group of Society’s glasses known. Others similar by the same hand are recorded with mottos such as ‘Health To All True Blues’ and ‘The Friendly Hunt’. There is no doubt that the Society is pro Jacobite and it is considered by the addition of the thistle that it is likely this society was Scottish based.

535 AN IMPORTANT EARLY 18TH CENTURY SILVER HILTED PRESENTATION RACE PRIZE BASKET HILTED BROAD SWORD WILLIAM SCOTT II (ATTRIBUTED), ELGIN, CIRCA 1700-1710 marks very worn but traces visible, the silver basket hilt formed with plain and gadrooned bar with flat forward facing knuckle guard flanked by pierced panels with crowned CR monogram and thistle, with compressed pommel, the tapered double edged blade with triple fullers, with a silver chape and remnants of the leather scabbard Blade 75cm long, overall length 102cm

£30,000-40,000 Note: This highly important silver basket hilted sword forms part of a very small group of race prize swords presented for the Huntly Races. Currently the prizes known to survive are a thistle cup by William Scott of Banff 1695 (National Museums of Scotland), a basket hilted sword by William Scott of Elgin 1701 (National Museums of Scotland), another basket hilted sword by William Scott of Elgin 1713 (Royal Collection), a cup and cover by Robert Cruickshank of Old Aberdeen circa 1725 (Private Collection Mount Stuart) and a basket hilted sword by the same maker 1727 (Royal Collection). The Huntly Races were held between 1695 and 1749 under the tenure of the 1st and 2nd Dukes of Gordon, after being granted the right by the Scottish Parliament. Termed the ‘Charles Fair’ this seems to have been in commemoration of King Charles II, and therefore a thinly veiled support of the Stuart/ Jacobite cause. That said the Races followed a form common throughout Scotland of race meetings ‘sponsored’ by the local council of gentry. As well as adding to the social and sorting calendar they were a means of attracting business and money to the area in the form of big-spending aristocrats and gentry who owned and ran the horses. From the outset it was clear that the Races were intended to appeal to a far-flung constituency.

Prizes were most commonly supplied by the organisers and often took the form of silver or gold plate rather than cash, the plate being made by one of the most highly regarded makers in the area. The fact that so few have actually survived in Scotland suggests they were often converted back into hard cash. Although the knuckle guard has now been erased as well as the original presentation inscription, and disappointingly the marks have been worn, there is no doubt this sword forms part of this important group. The form of the basket, cipher, crown and bars are unique to this group. It seems highly likely this sword is by William Scott rather than Robert Cruickshank. It fits far more comfortably within his surviving examples with the obvious gadrooned bars and identical construction.

£800-1,200

Note: The Balmoral Highlanders are recorded as the Royal bodyguard at the highland estate of Balmoral. Formed from the estate workers rather than a military regiment their formation and duties are still somewhat misunderstood. The most recognised period of their existence was in 1904 when King Edward VII commissioned, from the local Ballater silversmith William Robb, 25 complete suites of uniform. While these are obviously rare, split uniforms do occasionally appear at auction. However, this commission is really only a part of the story as it is known from photographic and documentary evidence that this was not the formation of the ‘regiment’ merely a continuation and perhaps an attempt at standardisation of uniform. Until the discovery of these buttons it had been considered that the earlier buttons - to the same pattern - were made in silver by Lumsden & Co of Aberdeen (two or three sets currently recorded) and the William Robb 1904 order was commissioned with silver plated buttons by Firmin & Co. However, these buttons are certainly of silver and are by the latter maker. It is possible these were commissioned specifically by the Royal Household, perhaps via William Robb, for either an ‘Officer’ or perhaps Royal Piper or perhaps even Royal use. For a full 1904 William Robb Balmoral Highlanders uniform on view see the recently opened Braemar Royal Highland Society’s, Highland Games Centre at Braemar.

Note: Although the exact reason for the presentation of this dirk is not recorded it seems highly likely it will relate to the Highland Light Infantry’s time serving in India during the Indian Mutiny. They served there between 1857 and 1863 after having seen service in the Crimea in 1854.

Regarded by some as one of the most sought-after special editions by Macallan, the Private Eye bottling is known for its rich dark chocolate and fruity flavour profile - synonymous with sherried Macallan expressions from the 1960s. Celebrating 35 years of the renowned satirical publication, each bottle features a vibrant label, designed by the magazine’s illustrator Ralph Steadman. This vatting of 5000 bottles included a 1961 cask, marking the year Private Eye was founded.

ST. MAGDALANE / LINLITHGOW DISTILLERY Built by Sebastian Henderson in the mid1800s, St. Magdalene operated for over 200 years before its closure in 1983. With a capacity of 1 million litres per annum, the traditional coal-fired stills and naturally sourced water from the Union Canal produced a distinctively floral lowland malt, characterised by smoky undertones.

As the majority of production went into blending, no official bottlings were released until the 1990s. Only two such bottlings were issued, one as part of Diageo’s Rare Malts series, the other one of Diageo’s special releases in 2004 marking a revived interest in this ‘lost’ distillery.

653 ROSEBANK 1981 20 YEAR OLD RARE MALTS DISTILLERY CLOSED 1993 bottled in 2002, number 5243, with carton 70cl/ 62.3% Note: Named after the abundance of roses which grew along the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal, Rosebank was once described by Jim Murray in 2007 as one of the ‘top ten distilleries in the world’. The triple-distilled expressions were full-bodied, floral and aromatic and still sought-after today. Recent official bottlings include the Rare Malts range by Diageo and the Flora & Fauna series, which was discontinued in 2006. Mothballed in 1993, Rosebank is now set to reopen in 2020 after a major refubishment by Ian Macleod Distillers whose reputation with Glengoyne and Tamdhu gives Rosebank enthusiasts great hopes for the future.

Wemyss Ware 1882 - 1930

ISBN: 9781788840170 RRP £30.00

A treasure trove of Wemyss Ware, this book catalogues a collection lovingly compiled over decades. Carol McNeil’s essay traces the history of the Fife Pottery where Wemyss Ware saw its debut, while Bellamy’s introduction guides the reader through several of the key figures involved in the locating and preserving of these works of art. Scottish Wemyss Ware 1882-1930 celebrates the labour, design and artistry that poured into each hand-decorated pot. Often inspired by the Fife countryside where they first originated, these characterful creations are just as delightful now as when they were first produced.

Conditions of Sale CONDITIONS OF SALE FOR BUYERS (UK) The Auctioneer carries on business with bidders, Buyers and all those present in the auction room prior to, or in connection with, a sale on the following General Conditions and on such other terms, conditions and notices as may be referred to herein. 1. DEFINITIONS In these Conditions of Sale (Buyers): “Auctioneer” means Lyon and Turnbull Ltd (Registered in Scotland No: 191166 | Registered address: 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3RR) or its authorised auctioneer, as appropriate; “Hammer price” means the level of bidding reached (at or above any reserve) when the Auctioneer brings down the hammer; “High Cumulative Value of Lot” means several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above; “High Value Lot” means a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above; “Lot” means each Item offered for sale by Lyon and Turnbull; “Purchase Price” is the Hammer Price and applicable Buyer’s Premium; “Reserve” means the lowest price below which an item cannot be sold; “Total amount due” means the hammer price in respect of the lot sold together with any premium, Value Added Tax or other taxes chargeable and any additional charges payable by a defaulting Buyer under these Conditions; “You”, “Your” means the Buyer; “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon and Turnbull Ltd, The singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. 2. AGENCY We act as agent solely for and in the interests of the Seller. We do not act for Buyers in this role and do not give advice to Buyers. When we make a statement about a lot it is doing so on behalf of the Seller of the lot. The Auctioneer normally acts as agent only and disclaims any responsibility for default by Sellers or Buyers. 3. BIDDING PROCEDURES AND THE BUYER (a) Bidders are required to register their particulars before bidding and to satisfy any security and credit references or arrangements before entering the auction room to view or bid. We reserve the right to ask buyers for identification to prevent fraud, underage purchases and/or any other legal or legitimate purpose. (b) High Value Lots and High Cumulative Value of Lots: If you wish to bid on any High Value Lot (a lot with a lower estimate of £30,000 or above) or if you are bidding on several lots with a total lower estimate value of £30,000 or above, you are invited to complete the High Value Lot pre-registration. After you have successfully registered as a bidder with us, you should complete the High

Value Lot pre-registration before the date of sale by contacting the Office Manager or on the date of sale at the registration area. Unless otherwise agreed by us, you will be permitted to bid for High Value Lots only if we have confirmed your payment of deposit and your completion of the High Value Lot pre-registration before the sale. The Deposit required will be 10% of the lower estimate. Upon pre-registration, you should pay the deposit or such other sum as determined by us dependant on circumstances, by way of bank transfer or credit card(s) acceptable to us. Please note that we do not accept payment from third parties and this also applies to agents. If you are not successful in any bid and do not owe us any debt, the deposit will be refunded to you by way of wire transfer or such other methods as determined by us. Please make sure that you provide your bank details in the pre-registration form. The exchange rate provided to us by the bank on the date of exchange is final. We will arrange to refund the deposit to you within seven days after the date of sale, however we do not guarantee when you will receive the payment due to the variance in time for banks to process fund transfers. Upon successful pre-registration, you will be given a numbered High Value Lot paddle for identification purposes. The auctioneer will usually only accept bids made with the High Value Lot paddle or by its High Value Lot registered bidder. This applies to saleroom, telephone and absentee bids. We have the right to change the High Value Lot pre-registration procedures and requirements from time to time without notice. (c) The maker of the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer conducting the sale shall be the Buyer and any dispute shall be settled at the Auctioneer’s absolute discretion. (d) Our right to bid on behalf of Sellers is expressly reserved up to the amount of any reserve. (e) The right to refuse any bid is also reserved. (f) Commission Bids: While prospective Buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition we shall, if so instructed, clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf. Neither the Auctioneer nor our employees nor agents shall be responsible for any failure to do so. Where two or more commission bids at the same level are recorded we reserve the right in our absolute discretion to prefer the first bid so made. (g) Telephone Bids: If a prospective Buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to

participate in bidding by telephone. We do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connections. (h) Online Bidding: We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the internet or software malfunctions related to execution of online bids/ live bidding. 4. INCREMENTS Bidding increments shall be at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion. 5. THE PURCHASE PRICE For each lot purchased a Buyer’s Premium of 25% of the hammer price of each lot up to and including £100,000, plus 20% from £100,001 thereafter. VAT at the appropriate rate is charged on the Buyer’s Premium. No VAT is payable on the hammer price or premium for printed books or unframed maps bought at auction. Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above. 6. RESERVES Unless indicated by a insert symbol (∆ ), all lots in this catalogue are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is the confidential hammer price established between us and the seller. The reserve is generally set at a percentage of the low estimate and will not exceed the low estimate for the lot. 7. VALUE ADDED TAX Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant lots. (1) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the hammer price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme. (2) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a lot has been imported from outwith the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items. (3) Lots affixed with [Ω]: Standard rate of Value Added Tax on the hammer price and premium is payable. This applies to items that have been imported from outwith the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above. 8. DROIT de SUITE This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living

artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the hammer price and in addition to the Buyer’s premium. It will not apply to works where the hammer price is less than €1,000 (euros). The charge for works of art sold at and above €1,000 (euros) and below €50,000 (euros) is 4%. For items selling above €50,000 (euros), charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. Please note that the royalty payment is calculated on the rate of exchange at the European Central Bank on the date of the sale. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk. 9. PAYMENT (1) Within 7 days of a lot being sold you will: (a) Pay to us the total amount due in cash or by such other method as is agreed by us. We accept cash, bank transfer (details on request), debit cards and Visa or MasterCard credit cards. (b) Please note that we do not accept cash payments over £5,000. (2) Any payments by you to us may be applied by us towards any sums owing by you to us howsoever incurred and without agreement by you or your agent, whether express or implied. 10. TITLE AND COLLECTION OF PURCHASES (1) The ownership of any lots purchased shall not pass to you until you have made payment in full to us of the total amount due. (2) You shall at your own risk and expense take away any lots that you have purchased and paid for not later than 7 working days following the day of the auction or upon the clearance of any cheque used for payment whichever is later. We can provide you with a list of shippers. However, we will not be responsible for the acts or omissions of carriers or packers whether or not recommended by us. (3) No purchase can be claimed or removed until it has been paid for. (4) It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ascertain collection procedures, particularly if the sale is not being held at our main sale room and the potential storage charges for lots not collected by the appropriate time. (5) Export of goods: Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character, e.g. items that may contain prohibited materials such as ivory or rhino horn. It is the buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence. The denial of any licence or any delay in obtaining licences shall neither justify the recession of any sale not any delay in making full payment for the lot.

11. REMEDIES FOR NON-PAYMENT OR FAILURE TO COLLECT PURCHASES (1) If any lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, we, as agent for the Sellers and on their behalf, shall at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights we may have, be entitled to exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies: (a) to proceed against you for damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the contract for sale of that lot and/or any other lots sold by us to you; (c) to resell the lot (by auction or private treaty) in which case you shall be responsible for any resulting deficiency in the total amount due (after crediting any part payment and adding any resale costs). (d) to remove, store and insure the lot in the case of storage, either at our premises or elsewhere and to recover from you all costs incurred in respect thereof; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month above the current base rate on all sums outstanding for more than 7 working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other lot sold to you until you pay the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from you or your agent at future auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other lots due or which become due to you towards the settlement of the total amount due by you and to exercise a lien over any of your property in our possession for any purpose until the debt due is satisfied. 12. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION (1) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective Buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and only accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer or our employees or agents accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and no warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are given. Please note that photographs/images provided may not

be fully representative of the condition of the lot and should not be relied upon as indicative of the overall condition of the lot. (2) Condition reports: Condition reports are provided on our website or upon request. The absence of a report does not imply that a lot is without imperfections. Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and you are strongly advised to examine any lot in which you are interested prior to the sale. Our condition reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our condition report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The condition reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way. (3) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon. (4) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred. (5) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. (6) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item. (7) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, you affirm that you are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for

natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given. (8) Special terms may be used in catalogue descriptions of particular classes of items (Books, Jewellery, Paintings, Guns, Firearms, etc.) in which case the descriptions must be interpreted in accordance with any glossary appearing in the catalogue. These notices and terms will also form part of our terms and conditions of sales. 13. BOOKS, CLOCKS & WATCHES (1) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of lots sold for less than £300. (2) Clocks & Watches: All lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/ newer parts. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. 14. CITES Please be aware that all lots marked with the symbol Y may be subject to CITES regulations when exporting these items outside the EU. These regulations may be found at http:// www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/importsexports/cites We accept no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not be identified as such. 15. SALE BY PRIVATE TREATY (a) The same Conditions of Sale

(Buyers) shall apply to sales by private treaty. (b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction and subject to our agreed charges for Sellers and Buyers. (c) We undertake to inform the Seller of any offers it receives in relation to an item prior to any Proposed Sale, excluding the normal method of commission bids. (d) For the purposes of a private treaty sale, if a lot is sold in any other currency than Sterling, the exchange rate is to be taken on the date of sale. 16. THIRD PARTY LIABILITY All members of the public on our premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation, safety and security arrangements. Accordingly, neither the Auctioneer nor our employees or agents shall incur liability for death or personal injury or similarly for the safety of the property of persons visiting prior to, during or after a sale. 17. GENERAL (a) We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person. (b) Any notice to any Buyer, Seller, bidder or viewer may be given by email if not available then first class mail in which case it shall be deemed to have been received by the addressee 48 hours after posting. (c) Notices to us should be in writing and addressed to the Managing Director at 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh EH1 3RR, quoting the reference number specified at the beginning of the sale catalogue. (d) Should any provision of these Conditions of Sale be held unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. (e) These Conditions of Sale are not assignable by either party without the other’s prior written consent. No act, omission or delay by us shall be deemed a waiver or release of any of its rights. (f) The contract between the parties may be varied by the parties by agreement and in writing. 18. AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE We guarantee that the authorship, period, or origin (collectively, “Authorship”) of each lot in this catalogue is as stated in the BOLD or CAPITALISED type heading in the catalogue description of the lot, as amended by oral or written saleroom notes or announcements. We make no warranties whatsoever, whether express or implied, with respect to any material in the catalogue other than that appearing in the Bold or Capitalised heading and subject to the exclusions below. In the event Lyon and Turnbull in its reasonable opinion deems that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall


158 Lyon & Turnbull

refund to the original purchaser of the lot the hammer price and applicable Buyer’s Premium paid for the lot by the original purchaser. This Guarantee does not apply if: (i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the opinion(s) of generally accepted 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 that the Authorship was not as described in the Bold or Capitalised heading at the date of the sale would have been by means or processes not then generally available or accepted; unreasonably expensive or impractical to use; or likely (in our reasonable opinion) to have caused damage to the lot or likely to have caused loss of value to the lot; or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the lot from its value had it been in accordance with its description in the Bold or Capitalised type heading. This Guarantee is provided for a period of one year from the date of the relevant auction, is solely for the benefit of the original purchaser of the lot at the auction and may not be transferred to any third party. To be able to claim under this Authenticity Guarantee, the original purchaser of the lot must: (i) notify us in writing within one month of receiving any information that causes the original purchaser of record to dispute the accuracy of the Bold or Capitalised type heading, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons for such dispute; and (ii) return the Lot to our registered office in the same condition as at the date of sale to the original purchaser of record and be able to transfer good title to the Lot, free from any third party claims arising after the date of such sale. We have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. We may require the original purchaser of the lot to obtain, at the original purchaser of lot’s cost, the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the field. The reports must be mutually acceptable to us and the original purchaser of the lot. We shall not be bound by any reports produced by the original purchaser of the lot, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. It is specifically understood and agreed that the rescission of a sale and the refund of the original purchase price paid (the successful hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium) is exclusive and in lieu of any other remedy which might otherwise be available as a matter of law. Lyon and Turnbull and the Seller shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages incurred or claimed, including without limitation, loss of profits or interest.

19. DATA PROTECTION In connection with the management and operation of our business and the marketing and supply of our services, or as required by law, we may ask the Buyer to provide personal information about themselves or obtain information about the Buyer from third parties (e.g. credit information).

If you would like further information on our policies on personal data, or to make corrections to your information, please contact us on 0131 557 8844. 20.
