CANONGATE- A SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL TEASPOON WILLIAM CRAW
Note: Any early holloware made in Canongate is to be deemed rare. Not until much later in the 18th century does a small handful survive by William Craw and Michael Forrest.
Indeed, any wares bearing the mark of David Dunlop must be considered scarce. He is recorded making a small number of spoons (see Scottish Silver, Lyon & Turnbull 16th August 2010, lot 334) and the only recorded holloware are a small number of communion cups, including those for West Linton Parish Church. This tazza therefore, is the only item of secular holloware recorded by Dunlop. The rarity of David Dunlop’s work is in part explained but his very short working life, only between 1701 and 1710 when he died. He was trained in Glasgow by Thomas Cumming from 1691 and moved and worked in Canongate, gaining his Burgess ticket in 1701. In 1707 he is elected Master for the Burgh.
Considering his short working career and the use of a pseudo date letter A struck to this piece it seems likely it was copying the official date letter in use by the Edinburgh Assay Office for 1705 - 1706.
Marked WC, of Scot’s Fiddle pattern, engraved initials above 12; together with a collection of Provincial flatware, including, two dessert spoons, Donald Fraser of Inverness, marked DF, INS, of Old English pattern, engraved J to terminal and another indistinctly marked of Hanoverian pattern; a dessert spoon, William Jamieson of Aberdeen, marked WJ, A B D, WJ thrice, of Fiddle pattern, initials engraved to terminal and five teaspoons by George Sangster of Aberdeen, marked GS A B D, Edinburgh 1852, of Fiddle pattern, engraved italic B to terminal (10)

‘A POMPEIAN LADY AT HER TOILET’ - A VICTORIAN ELECTROTYPE AND COPPERED PLAQUE BY LEONARD MOREL-LADEUIL (1820-1888) FOR ELKINGTON & CO., LONDON 1876
Of circular outline, decorated with a Neoclassical scene depicting ‘A Pompeian Lady’ reclining on her couch with her three handmaidens, signed and dated ‘Morel-Ladeuil, inv Fecit 1876’, registration mark, all within a decorative border on a black, contained in its original convex glazed frame
61cm diameter (overall), 49cm diameter (plaque within frame)
Note: The Victorian era brought much invention and discovery, both industrial and for the arts. The firm Elkington & Co. were the epitome of innovation and were at the forefront of developments of electro-metallurgy.
Elkington & Co. honed their skills to create electroplate masterpieces and in particular electrotype facsimile copies of museum quality artefacts. They were also the only British company to consistently win the highest awards at all seven of the International Exhibitions held from 1851-1878.
Founded by cousins, George Richards Elkington and Henry Elkington, and financed by the steel pen magnate Josiah Mason the company formed a relationship with the pre-cursor to the Victoria and Albert Museum, the South Kensington Museum to produce facsimile copies of museum artefacts for educational purposes known as a ‘type pattern’.
In order to re-produce these type patterns, a mould is first made of the original piece and then sprayed with a silver paint to help conduct electricity, dipped in a solution with copper wires this first helps connect the copper and then the silver. The complex process produces a product that can be handled and examined for further research.
Elkington & Co. was a commercial enterprise and did sell their electrotype wares. The purpose of their exercise was to provide educational tools, but with Elkington’s success, they began to use the elements of the original ‘type patterns’ such as a handle, for other designs. This created a conflict of interest and may have been a contributing factor to why the relationship between the V & A and Elkington ended.
The plauque was originally produced in silver and damascened steel by the great French artist Leonard Morel-Ladeuil for Elkington, after the painting by Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912). He was approached in 1859, to work for them for three years in Birmingham, assuring him a free hand. The silver and steel prototype was produced as the showstopper for the Elkington stand at the Philadelphia Exhibition of 1876. There are 105 sa;es pf tje Pompeian Lady electrotype recorded in Elkington’s sales ledger at the 1876 exhibition. The first to be held in the United States, which coincided with the centennial anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia on the 4th July 1776.
Currently the V & A museum holds over 400 items relating to the firm Elkington and holds and has accessioned a copy of the plaque. The whereabouts of the original are unknown.

Paul Storr is deemed one of the most prolific and successful British silversmiths. Working at a time which has often been considered the period that saw the greatest demand in production and trading of silverware, Storr always ensured that exceptional craftsmanship was maintained to the highest level.
Paul Storr registered his first punch on the 12th January 1793 and ten further marks followed, marking various stages in his career. It was his fifth registered mark in 1807 which reflects his ascendency and his personal success. The company ‘Rundell Bridge and Rundell’ who had been appointed Jewellers, Goldsmiths and Silversmiths to the Crown, and had also attained the Royal Warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales and The Duke of York, scouted Storr and he joined the company. Throughout his career, his work mostly features a Neoclassical style. Important commissions include the replica of the Warwick Vase, now on display at the V & A museum
LOAN:GILBERT.829:2-2008. Whilst working with Rundell Bridge & Rundell, the firm was instructed to create ‘The Grand Service’ for the Royal Family commissioned by George IV (17621830) when Prince of Wales. It is made up of over 4,000 pieces for dining and is still in use today.
Due to the volume of production at Rundell Bridge and Rundell, Storr’s role became almost supervisory, interacting with the existing staff to convey his work practices. A plate bearing Storr’s mark may not have been worked by his hands, but the hallmark was his and acted as a guarantee of the quality.
Perhaps due to the lack of opportunity to be ‘hands-on’, in 1819 Storr opened his own shop, and in 1822, formed the company Storr & Mortimer.

THE EMERSON PERSONAL DESK SEAL
A 19TH CENTURY CITRINE AND WOODEN PERSONAL DESK SEAL
Viscount of Stirling was born in Clackmannan Scotland, he became a courtier as James I (James VI of Scotland) claimed the English throne in 1603, a year later writing his most famous work ‘Aurora’.
Further successful works in poetry such as ‘Doomes day’ (1614) saw King James employing Alexander to aid in translating the Psalms. Also recognised for his colonial affairs Alexander became proprietor of Nova Scotia in spite of French claims of the territory, with the first settlement being established in 1629. Challenges from the French saw war break out in 1627 with the Scottish force being led by Alexander’s son. England and France established the treaty of SUSA agreeing to restore territory and shipping rights therefore forcing Alexander to surrender and withdraw Scottish settlers, leaving him in great debt. In 1630 he was created Viscount of Stirling and Lord Alexander of Tullibody and in 1633 the Earl of Stirling, Viscount of Canada.
The turned wooden handle of baluster form, to a fluted white metal collar with embossed foliate scroll border, the citrine matrix engraved with the arms of Emerson 9.5cm overall, 2.6cm x 2.7cm (matrix)
It is most likely that this seal was in possession of one of the sons of William Emerson (born 22nd April 1771 died 1st May 1821), of Ardmore in the County of Armagh and his wife, Sarah Arbuthnot (born circa 1770/71 died circa December 1851).
There are three candidates for the ownership of this desk seal. They are as follows:
1) George Emerson (born 4th July 1792 died 23rd August 1859).
2) Arbuthnot Emerson (born 22nd June 1802 died 24th May 1857)
3) Sir James Emerson (later Emerson-Tennant) (born 7th April 1804 died 6th March 1869).

He was later appointed teacher of military drawing at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst in 1824 and professor of military fortification at Woolwich in 1825.
During the Sixth Frontier War, which broke out in December 1834, Michell served as assistant quartermaster-general to the staff of Governor Benjamin D’Urban, and made valuable surveys and sketches of regions in the Eastern Cape.

A. BEFORE THE SALE
1. 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.
2. 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.

4.
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.

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.
2. 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.
(a) 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.
(b) 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 outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.
(c) 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 outwit the European Union and do not fall within the reduced rate category outlined above.
3. ARTIST’S
RESALE ROYALTY (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. The charge for works of art sold at and above £1,000 and below £50,000 is 4%. For items selling above £50,000, 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. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www.dacs.org.uk.

2. 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 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.
