THE DIVER oil on canvas, laid on board, signed lower centre J THORBURN ROSS

Sir Hubert von Herkomer founded the Herkomer Art School at Bushey in 1883 and directed it until his retirement in 1904. The school taught more than 500 students, many of whom, including Lucy Kemp-Welch, Algernon Talmage and William Nicholson, went on to achieve distinction. Herkomer’s teaching had a wide influence on British art education, reflecting his own varied expertise in painting, drawing, etching, engraving and enamel work. His school provided practical training across different artistic disciplines and became an important centre for artists. After Herkomer’s retirement, Lucy Kemp-Welch continued the school’s work, developing it into a centre for animal painting.

£300-500

Edward Clifford was a British artist and a disciple of Edward Burne-Jones. The painting was created in Varallo, a district of Piedmont in northern Italy, between Milan and Turin. Clifford was deeply influenced by Burne-Jones, whose admiration for the Italian Renaissance painter Bernardino Luini shaped his artistic style. Luini’s influence is particularly visible in the striking, expressive eyes of Clifford’s figures, which became a distinctive feature of his work. Clifford belonged to a group of Burne-Jones followers whose art was described as “poetry without grammar.” His granddaughter remembered him as deeply religious, fascinated by duchesses, and exceptionally talented in watercolour.

£2,000-3,000 Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price: see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 2

‘The Car of Love’ is a large, unfinished oil painting by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones. The full painting depicts Love, the subject of this study, being drawn on a chariot by a group of men and women along a Sienese street. The triumphal procession of Love was a common theme in Medieval and Renaissance art, the specific inspiration for Burne-Jones’ work being ‘Trionfior Triumphs’ by the 14th-century Italian poet Petrarch. The idea for the painting dates from as early as 1871 but Burne-Jones only began the work in the 1890’s. It was left unfinished on his death in 1898 and was gifted by his wife Lady Burne-Jones to the V&A in 1909.

£2,000-3,000

Burne-Jones’ The Godhead Fires is the third painting in the second series of Pygmalion and the Image, depicting the moment when Aphrodite brings Galatea, Pygmalion’s ivory sculpture, to life. Aphrodite is shown standing on a cloud surrounded by doves and roses, extending one arm towards Galatea. Galatea’s upper body and arms are shown in motion, while her legs and feet remain positioned on the pedestal from which she is emerging. The two female figures have similar features and forms. The painting is based on the story of Pygmalion and Galatea from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. The series is held in the collection of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

Olaf was a 12th century King of the Isles, an area which included the Isle of Man, making the attribution to Knox near certain. Fascinatingly however, the Olaf clock design lacks the Celtic design features for which Knox is renowned, its solid base and the honest architectural feel of the vertical panels flanking the clock face aligning it more closely with the Arts & Crafts Movement.

Note: Titus Salt Jr., youngest son of Sir Titus Salt, married Catherine Crossley in 1866 and moved to Baildon Lodge near Bradford. Between 1865 and 1867 the couple commissioned local firm Marsh & Jones to furnish their home, from a grand piano to domestic wares. Marsh & Jones employed Charles Bevan, whose designs in the reformed Gothic style, alongside Bruce Talbert’s contemporary ‘medieval’ furniture, are regarded as marking an important turning point in British taste. Between 1871 and 1873 the Salts moved to their new country house, Milner Field, taking the contents of Baildon Lodge with them. Designed by Thomas Harris, the house incorporated furniture and panelling by Marsh & Jones, ornamental metalwork by Richardson, Slade & Co., and stained glass and decorative schemes by Saunders & Co. and Frederick Weekes. The present chairs form part of the music room suite associated with Catherine Salt, an accomplished musician and singer. Their distinctive A-frame backs correspond closely with the music cabinet and piano music stand from the same commission. The surviving duet stool at Lotherton Hall retains the maker’s label, inscribed with job number 99127, placing the commission within a sequence of documented Salt furnishings.

£4,000-6,000

Note: The firm of Cottier & Co. was founded by the artist, designer, decorator and art dealer Daniel Cottier (1838–1891). Cottier initially trained as a coach painter in Glasgow, but by the 1860s he had moved to London, where he worked as a glass designer. During this period, he attended lectures by the influential critic John Ruskin and received drawing lessons from the artist Ford Madox Brown. Returning to Scotland, Cottier established his own business in 1864, which subsequently developed into a highly successful international enterprise, with branches in London, New York, Sydney and Melbourne.

Other fees apply in addition to the hammer price: see the ‘Buyer’s Guide’ section on page 2

Cottier’s interests extended across a wide range of decorative arts, including glass, furniture, ceramics and interior design. In the United States, he has been described as a ‘harbinger of Aestheticism … and a profound influence on American decoration’. As a key exponent of the Aesthetic movement, Cottier developed a highly distinctive and original decorative style, characterised by delicately painted surface decoration, often applied against gold or ebonised grounds to create a striking contrast, as seen in the present example. His designs frequently drew upon the Japanese aesthetic that became closely associated with the Aesthetic movement, while also incorporating motifs and sources drawn from earlier cultures. The present lot is a particularly interesting example of this broader approach, combining Cottier’s characteristic decorative treatment with imagery derived from ancient sources.

Henry Jeckell was the younger brother of architect and designer Thomas Jeckyll. Jeckyll’s family were originally Jeckells, however Thomas changed his name, perhaps as an affectation to elevate his social status and lay a claim to belonging to an older, more established family line. The nature of the professional relationship between the two brothers is hard to decipher. Henry is listed as an architect in London in 1868 but there is no record of him being connected with Thomas’s office. Further, by 1872 Henry had ceased practicing as an architect and become the director-designer of the foundry Robbins & Co. in Dudley. Robbins & Co. counted Thomas Jeckyll amongst their employees, and held manufacturing rights to his designs. Whilst Thomas lived until 1881, he suffered such a deterioration in his mental state, that by 1876 his brother facilitated his move into a private asylum. These firedogs bear a registration lozenge dated for 1879, hence their attribution to Henry Jeckell, rather than his elder brother

£300-500 The alloys, colouring and patination developed by Japanese metalworkers had a profound influence on the stylistic development of American silver. As Christopher Dresser observed during his 1876 visit to Japan, the Japanese understood “the value of colour in metal”, treating gold, silver, copper and bronze as materials for creating beauty. Inspired by Japanese wares, Gorham experimented with metal appliqués, oxidised and patinated surfaces, and hammered and chased textures. In 1881 the firm introduced a range of copper wares in varied tones, including a red lacquer-like patina. Its ‘Turkish’ coffee pots, as in the present example, were often finished in a rich reddish-brown gloss, known as Gorham’s ‘red copper’ line.

Their simplicity of line and lack of ornamentation were based on Japanese precedents, although Dresser made the designs distinctly his own, gathering together valuable influences and “developing a style which shall be new in character and yet at the same time an expression of our knowledge of all past ornament!”

A series of costing books, now held in the Sheffield Archives, reveals that Dresser produced approximately 80 designs for Dixon’s, not all of which are believed to have entered production. This may have been due partly to the comparative expense of manufacture, but also to the radical nature of his designs, which proved difficult for

There can be little doubt that the remarkable originality of Dresser’s series of teapot designs for Dixon’s are amongst his most seminal works. Two other examples of this teapot, model no. 2274, are known: one is held by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (accession no. M.4-2006), and the other by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (inv. 2011.35). The expense of these teapots may have limited their production but what these extraordinary designs ultimately achieved was Dresser’s posthumous reputation as a proto-modernist, helping to secure his place as one of the greatest talents of 19th century design.

£1,000-1,500

Moyr Smith’s furniture designs are characterised by their architectural forms, geometric ornament and carefully considered surface decoration. He drew on a range of historical and contemporary sources, including medieval and classical ornament and the emerging interest in Japanese design. Ebonised wood, painted decoration, incised detail and inlay feature frequently in his work, creating pieces that are decorative without being excessively elaborate. His designs sit comfortably within the broader aesthetic of late Victorian furniture, where architecture, furniture and the decorative arts were increasingly considered as part of a unified interior. The combination of strong structure and controlled ornament gives his furniture a distinctive character, while reflecting the varied influences of the period.

176 § EDWARD KENNETH CENTER (1902-1986) PORTRAIT OF ARTHUR HEYGATE MACKMURDO oil on canvas, signed upper right E. KENNETH CENTER, framed 58.5cm square (frame size 82cm square)

£1,000-1,500

Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo (1851-1942), pioneering architect and designer, founded the Century Guild with his fellow architect and friend, Herbert Percy Horne, in 1882. The Century Guild acted as forerunners to the Arts and Crafts movement, with some of the work created by Mackmurdo in particular viewed as early examples of the ‘Modern Style’, a particular British type of Art Nouveau. Much of his work was historically inspired, with references spanning the Italian renaissance to 18th century design motifs. Kenneth Center was the studio assistant of Mackmurdo’s friend and mentor, Sir Frank Brangwyn, for many years and another of his extant works is a portrait of Brangwyn. It is thought however that Brangwyn’s picture was painted posthumously, using a photograph of Mackmurdo for reference. This photograph shows the designer sitting in the same armchair to the one depicted in both Brangwyn’s portrait and the current lot.

177 ‡ WILLIAM DE MORGAN (1839-1917) PERSIAN-STYLE VASE AND COVER, FULHAM PERIOD CIRCA 1890 glazed pottery, decorated by Joe Juster, painted marks to base W. DE MORGAN/ FULHAM/ J.J. (2) 35cm high Through the latter half of the 19th century there was increasing interest in Persian (meaning Turkish, Syrian, Egyptian and Persian) art among British designers. Owen Jones wrote about Islamic design in his Grammar of Ornament and the Islamic pottery and fabrics in the South Kensington Museum, later the V&A, allowed William De Morgan, William Morris and others to study these items first-hand. De Morgan also restored artist Sir Frederick Leighton’s collection of Islamic tiles for the Arab Hall at Leighton House, granting him extended access to handle and understand the make-up of these wares. In his own practice De Morgan developed both a colour palette and decorative motifs familiar from Islamic designs, in the case of this covered vase the Persian leaf and flower patterns executed in blue, turquoise and green hues are highly reminiscent of Middle Eastern ceramics. The stylised almost hour-glass shape of the vase and tapered knop on the cover also echo Persian examples.

This indigo-discharge printed furnishing cotton was several years in development. Drawing began in September 1883, with trial printing continuing into March 1884, and the design was finally registered on 28 July. Named after the river beside Morris & Co.’s Merton Abbey Works, the large-

scale pattern was intended to celebrate the stream that powered the works. Morris explained the choice to his eldest daughter: “if it succeeds I shall call it Wandle”, acknowledging that although the river was small, the design would be “very elaborate & splendid” and he wished to “honour our helpful stream.”

The motto was printed in lowercase Roman lettering by woodcut. It was reused in the Kelmscott Press edition (September 1892), framed in a Morris frame with the motto in capitals, both as woodcuts. It appeared again in a March 1894 leaflet for the Ancoats Brotherhood. The image was reconstituted as ‘Labour’ for the Daily Chronicle in 1895, about the time this untitled photo-relief was created. The Daily Chronicle illustration was one of 24 by prominent artists, assembled by Joseph Pennell to support the Reform Party in the 1895 LCC elections.

The Flower Book by Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) is a series of 38 round watercolours, each about six inches across, painted from 1882 to 1898. They were painted for his private pleasure, many while he was resting at his summer home in Rottingdean and were described by his wife as the “most soothing piece of work that he ever did”. On his death, Burne-Jones left the album of flower paintings to his wife Georgiana, and she published a facsimile edition of 300 copies in 1905 in cooperation with the Fine Art Society in London.

Although she worked in several media, including watercolour, stained glass and needlework, she became known for pioneering “fabric mosaics”, incorporating fragments of antique textiles into her compositions. Inspired by Georgian embroidery techniques, Ireland hand-painted details such as faces and hands onto silk, combining them with individually cut and fitted fabric pieces. Her interest in preserving historic textiles led to this distinctive technique after illness prevented her from continuing with stained glass. Ireland first exhibited in Birmingham in 1929 and subsequently received commissions from public institutions and religious buildings, with Queen Mary among her purchasers. After the Second World War, she concentrated on repairing, researching and exhibiting antique textiles rather than incorporating them into new works.

THE RIVER RUG

The design stands apart from the majority of Voysey’s textile and carpet work, much of which was produced commercially and characterised by carefully balanced, repeating motifs inspired by nature. Throughout his career, Voysey became one of the leading designers of the Arts & Crafts movement, creating wallpapers, woven textiles, printed fabrics and carpets distinguished by their clarity, simplicity and harmonious compositions. His carpets typically employed stylised floral and foliate forms arranged in rhythmic, symmetrical patterns that complemented domestic interiors while reflecting his belief that beauty should be an integral part of everyday life. The River Rug, however, demonstrates a more imaginative and narrative approach. The rug has often been compared to the sixteenth-century Sheldon tapestry maps of English counties, whose embroidered landscapes similarly combine geography with decorative artistry. When Voysey’s own example of the rug was exhibited at the Arts & Crafts Exhibition Society in 1903, critics noted its resemblance to Chinese textiles, reflecting the broad range of artistic influences that informed his work; that rug is now held at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (accession no. T.71-21). The River Rug remains one of the most C. F. A. Voysey in the 1920s image courtesy Wikimedia

This fireplace surround represents an early design by Voysey as he was supplementing his nascent architectural practice with designs for industry. The firm of Benjamin Parkes Ltd. of Hill Crest, Tipton Road, Woodsetton, Wolverhampton recorded this design in January 1890. Voysey designed an advertising sheet for the firm, dating to around 1890, and promoting its wares as manufacturers of “all wrought or case metal work connected with fire places” (see illustration) and shows an array of fireplace objects including a frieze of galleons. The image of a galleon in full sail is a familiar motif which Voysey returned to several times. He produced a hallmark for Essex & Co., a prominent wallpaper manufacturer for whom he designed wallpapers from 1893. This hallmark bears a remarkable similarity to the imagery seen on the present lot. The galleon on

the fire insert demonstrates a looser handling of the motif than that designed for Essex and Co., however when Voysey did return to an old design, it invariably involved him ‘tightening up’ and formalising his more naturalistic, early designs.

Knox’s unique interpretation of the rich design landscape within which he sat is played out into his early 20th century Liberty designs. This magnificient covered cup is one of only a handful known to exisit. It was crafted by hand rather than a production piece. The bowl of the cup is ethereally connected to the stem by slender silver branches, creating a sense of delicate elongation aligned with the Art Nouveau style. The enamel however has an abstracted Celtic spirit; the familiar knot form translated into an unravelled series of waves and dots. The Liberty convention of not naming their designers in their catalogues and on their work resulted in limited contemporary recognition. Interestingly Knox was credited as the designer of this covered cup when it was illustrated in the 1903 Der Moderne Stil, perhaps the only occasion he was recognised in this way.

TUDRIC CLOCKS The large clocks within the Tudric range comprise some of Knox’s most magnificent designs and chart the originality of his vision. The silhouette of standing stones or Celtic crosses against the Manx sky has been credited as providing the inspiration for the monumental stature of clock model no. 098 [Lot 275]. Contemporaneously to designs apparently rooted in his Celtic upbringing however are examples so striking in their simplified, stark design that they speak to a dialogue with the Modernist Movement. [Lot 276] incorporates square panels of inlaid abalone and a protracted form, exaggerated by the vertical panelling, which has seen parallels drawn with the work of Glasgow designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. In 1903 Mackintosh was completing work on his famous Willow Tearooms, the interior of which included a monumental clock with repeating square pattern.

344 CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (1868-1928) FOR MISS CRANSTON’S WILLOW TEAROOMS LADDERBACK CHAIR, CIRCA 1903 ebonised oak, with drop-in rush seat, stamped to the seat block 100, stamped to the seat 108 45.7cm wide, 103.5cm high, 44.5cm deep Provenance: Miss Cranston’s Willow Tea Rooms, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, Scotland Estate of the late Eric Sloane Literature: Billcliffe R. Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture Drawings & Interior Designs, Moffatt 2009, pp. 150-165, illus. 1908.8 and in situ at 1903 C; D; E; F; J; H & I

£10,000-15,000

Designed in 1903 for Miss Cranston’s Willow Tea Rooms on Sauchiehall Street, this chair is regarded as Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s most successful treatment of this vernacular form. He had produced ladderback chairs previously, most recently in 1901 for Windyhill. The Windyhill iteration has the same materials, an ebonised wood frame and rush seat, as well as the proliferation of rungs on the seat-back. Where the Willow Tea Rooms example differs is in its overwhelming statement of strength, with rectangular and square section uprights and legs. The elongated nature of the back is then further emphasised by the extension of the seat-back rungs to below the seat, resulting in their interaction with the stretchers at the chair’s base. The outcome is a complete aesthetic in which the chair speaks as a single, harmonious entity rather than the seat, legs and back being distinguishable elements. Contemporary photographs show ladderback chairs of this design set around white cloth covered tables at Miss Cranston’s Willow Tea Rooms, the wood panelling and walls a similarly pale colour. In this context the dark wood and striking line of the chairs is perfectly accentuated. This design is one of Mackintosh’s most recognisable chairs and Cassina of Milan reproductions, both of this model and the more stylised Hill House example, have extended the impact and renown of his work.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose work had recently gained international attention following his exhibition at the Vienna Secession, was one of the entrants. Although his submission was incomplete when entries closed, the judges recognised its originality and awarded him a special prize. No first prize was awarded, reflecting the competition’s demanding standards. Instead, Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott received second prize, while Leopold Bauer, Oskar Marmorek, and Paul Zeroch shared third prize. Despite not being among the principal winners, Mackintosh’s design became one of the competition’s most influential entries. Almost a century later, in 1999, a modified version of the House for an Art Lover design was built in Bellahouston Park, Glasgow.

When Margaret Macdonald designed this bookplate in 1896, she had begun working in partnership with her sister Frances Macdonald at their studio at 128 Hope Street in Glasgow. The design centres on the elongated form of a naked woman, representing Wisdom, with her children, her hair merging with the tendrils of a fruit-bearing tree, the ‘Tree of Knowledge’. The bookplate was made for John Edwards, a patron about whom little is known. The image was also published in the ’Studio’ magazine in 1897 and the Austrian Secession Movement periodical ’Ver Sacrum‘ in 1901.

£800-1,200

This high-ceilinged first-floor flat at 120 Mains Street (later Blythswood Street) was Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald’s first home together after their marriage in August 1900. Mackintosh likely moved there shortly before the marriage and redecorated the rented flat in his own time. He designed decorative schemes and furniture for the drawing room, studio, bedroom and dining room, while the kitchen, second bedroom, where this window was fitted, and the maid’s room, are undocumented. The flat allowed Mackintosh to develop his holistic approach to interior design, combining horizontal picture rails, vertical wall-strapping, spare furniture groupings, contrasting light and dark palettes, and an emphasis on the fireplace. These ideas influenced later domestic and tearoom projects. In 1906, the couple moved to 6 Florentine Terrace, where many of the Mains Street interiors were recreated using the original fittings and furniture. The flat attracted international attention, appearing in The Studio (1901), Hermann Muthesius’s Das Englische Haus (1904), and a French publication in 1905. Mr Sloane, a Glasgow architect and Mackintosh enthusiast, rescued the two architectural elements when the flat was demolished in 1988. A note found in his papers reads “120 Blythswood Street/ 8.5.1988/ Joe McG and ES salvaged/ rear window from/ former CRM FLAT. Which was being demol./ No. 4 Blythswood Sq/ also being gutted/ at the same time” Contemporary photographs taken by Mr Sloane (see online catalogue at www.lyonandturnbull.com) show very little evidence of the Mackintosh’s interiors, save this window and a section of wall strapping, with traces of the original paint. The window, with its distinctive deep squared astragal in a 12/12 formation differs from the other windows seen in the flat where the astragals are of a traditional moulded form and 6/6 formation, befitting the Georgian bones of the building.

Mackintosh’s winning proposal for a public hall combined Beaux-Arts planning with Greek architectural details, earning him £60 to fund a three-month study tour.

160 By the 1890s, Wylie & Lochhead’s cabinetmaking business had become the largest in Scotland, producing furniture that ranged from avant-garde designs to more traditional forms. The firm looked beyond Scotland for inspiration and collaboration, commissioning leading English and Continental designers and manufacturers, including Liberty & Co., while simultaneously nurturing emerging Scottish talent. Its close engagement with the Glasgow School of Art kept the firm abreast of contemporary stylistic developments, and it enlisted graduates such as Jessie M. King, who designed wallpapers and may also have contributed furniture designs. This breadth of approach was particularly evident at the Glasgow International Exhibition of 1901, where Wylie & Lochhead presented a series of interiors that brought contemporary design within the reach of a middle-class clientele. The firm exhibited work that toned down the more extreme innovations of designers such as Mackintosh, Herbert McNair, and Margaret and Frances Macdonald – the Four. Wylie & Lochhead was happy to embrace the ‘New Art’ styles where there was a commercial opportunity to do so. Each of the four rooms was entrusted to a different designer: John Ednie designed the Dining Room, E. A. Taylor the Drawing Room, and George Logan the Library and Bedroom. Known as the Rossetti Library, a bookcase closely related to the present lot was designed by Logan and is currently in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The bookcase shares many stylistic elements with the present lot, including its distinctive central-door inlay, carved details and drop handle. Butterflies, seen in the door panel of the bureau, were a motif popularised by Whistler and a recurring theme throughout the four interiors designed for the exhibition. In the Drawing Room, for example, they appear on the lamps, stained glass, furniture andirons, while in the Library they can be seen on the ends of the fireplace settles in the one known view of the room. The presence of these motifs and details on the present lot points to the possibility of it’s connection with another area of the scheme. Today, Wylie & Lochhead is best known for the avant-garde work produced by its three celebrated designers; however, the comparatively radical interiors they created for the firm represented only a small part of its enormous and long-established output.

Robert Stodart Lorimer (1864–1929) trained under Sir Robert Rowand Anderson, later working in the London office of G. F. Bodley. In 1878, his family leased Kellie Castle in Fife as a holiday home, and Robert spent much of his youth there, helping with his father’s restoration work from the age of 14. Kellie had a formative influence on his interest in Scottish historic architecture, craftsmanship and interiors. Returning to Edinburgh from London in 1893, Lorimer established his own practice, restoring historic houses and designing new ones, including Ardkinglas and Rowallan Castle. His reputation was enhanced by his work on the Thistle Chapel at St Giles’ Cathedral and the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle. He also undertook war cemeteries, church restorations and university buildings. He was knighted in 1911 and appointed K.B.E. in 1927.

Ashbee’s Guild of Handicraft, joining just before it moved to Chipping Campden in 1902. In 1908 after the Guild’s forced closure, Hart took over the Silk Mill silversmith’s workshop, registering the ‘GofH’ (Guild of Handicraft) mark to himself in 1912. To this day, the Old Silk Mill is the premises for Hart Silversmiths. Hart & Huysche was established in 1919 between George Hart and Reynell Huysche, his half-brother and erstwhile apprentice. Little is known about the short-lived partnership, but they did sell their metalwork through Gordon Russell’s firm. The brevity of production makes Hart & Husche designs rare, another survivor including a beaten copper bowl, currently in the Wilson Museum, Cheltenham.

The interior of Lea Cottage, Leicestershire, showing the dresser in situ. © Country Life / Future Publishing Ltd.

The vast majority of the furniture and metalwork for both the brothers’ cottages was designed by Gimson, and Sidney and Ernest Barnsley. It seems likely that the dresser for Lea Cottage was designed after construction was completed, the dawn of the new century marking a period in which Gimson Cotswold School designer Ernest Gimson conceived this

Lea Cottage was constructed during an interesting period of change in Gimson’s life. Along with fellow Arts & Crafts enthusiast, designer and architect Sidney Barnsley, Gimson had moved from London to the South Cotswolds in 1893, seeking a return to a simpler, pastoral life in which to hone their ‘good handicrafts and building’. By the conclusion of the decade, he was married and in 1902 moved with his wife Emmie to Sapperton.

Whilst the photograph is in black and white, the author notes how the china on the dresser and the inventively positioned bookshelf running under the rafters perpendicular to it add ‘a note of colour and interest’.

Lea Cottage was built in parallel to Stoneywell Cottage, a summer house for Gimson’s other brother Sydney. Architect Detmar Blow was contracted to officiate the building process, he and Gimson having had a working relationship for several years. As was Gimson’s general preference, both cottages were constructed from local materials; stone, Swithland slate, timber and thatch in the case of Lea Cottage. The cottages were equipped and furnished in a manner verging on the austere, with no electricity, gas or plumbing, the whitewashed walls and

particularly against the white walls of the cottage would certainly have been visually captivating. This was a design feature Gimson returned to, for instance on the backs of dining chairs. Most intriguing is the almost yoke-like form of the vertical strut at the plate rack’s centre. This traditional farming implement was still used in the Cotswolds at the turn of the century, creating the possibility of Gimson observing from life, perhaps in a similar manner to his incorporation of ‘hay rake’ stretchers into table designs.

Under their guidance, he refined his craftsmanship and developed a discerning eye for timber, selecting fine specimen woods and exotic veneers. Gimson frequently consulted Waals on design and construction, acknowledging his significant contribution. Together, they became pioneering figures of the ‘Cotswold Tradition’. Following Gimson’s death in 1919, Waals established his own workshop in Chalford, continuing traditional methods learned at Sapperton. To protect Gimson’s legacy, he agreed with the family not to reproduce his designs or inlaid patterns, instead concentrating on domestic furniture that showcased his exceptional marquetry. Later, Waals secured important commissions from Leicester University and Eton College, alongside prominent local clients, including the Goddard family of Leicester.

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. In these Conditions the words “Us”, “Our”, “We” etc. refers to Lyon & Turnbull Ltd, the singular includes the plural and vice versa as appropriate. “You”, “Your” means the Buyer. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller. On occasion where Lyon & Turnbull Ltd. own a lot in part or full the property will be identified in the catalogue with the symbol (🄰) next to its lot number.

A. BEFORE THE SALE A1. DESCRIPTIONS OF LOTS 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. All dimensions and weights are approximate only.

A2. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR DESCRIPTION OF LOTS We do not provide any guarantee in relation to the nature of a Lot apart from our authenticity warranty contained in paragraph E.2 and to the extent provided below. (a) 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. (b) 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. (c) 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.

A3. WITHDRAWAL Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.

A4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS (a) Jewellery: (i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future. (ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of

the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said report. (iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report. (iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced. (b) 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. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys. (c) 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. (d) 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. (e) 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. (f) 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.

E2. 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.

In the event we, in our reasonable opinion, deem that the conditions of the authenticity guarantee have been satisfied, it shall 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: (a) 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 (b) 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 (c) 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: (a) 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 (b) 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 & 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.
