Many will agree with what Anna Somers Cocks said in The Art Newspaper (20 June 2013) “like the Old Master drawings fair in Paris, but unlike most other fairs today,… is an encounter between people who really want to talk art and handle objects knowledgeably.”

During the mid 19th century a new type of batik was invented by a small group of Indo-European women, working traditionally with natural dyes and molten wax applied to cotton by means of a pen (canting). This genre is known as the Indische school and combines both Asian and Western design elements. Jonathan Hope

Early Meissen Porcelain

Visitors to San Francisco really should visit this:

 

A Princely Pursuit: The Malcolm D. Gutter Collection of Early Meissen Porcelain, Glass Gallery 9B, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Legion of Honor, 100 34th Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94121, until 3rd January 2016

Fragments of a bottle-gourd vase, ca. 1726–1730 Meissen porcelain manufactory. Bequest of Malcolm D. Gutter

Bequest of Malcolm D. Gutter

Malcolm Gutter has been collecting porcelain over several decades and has built up an important collection, with a particular focus on Meissen. Among the pieces on show are early experimental wares and eighteen items from the collection of Augustus II (“the Strong”), Elector of Saxony and King of Poland who established the factory. He commissioned Meissen, decorated in the style of Japanese and Chinese porcelain which he also avidly collected for his Japanisches Palais in Dresden and both German and Asian wares are to be found in this exhibition.

While some may think it is more than generous to loan your porcelain for an exhibition such as this it is in fact a “rehearsal” as Malcolm Gutter has promised the collection to the Museum. He is a very gifted and generous collector.

The Duchess – Update

The Library, West Horsley Place

The Library, West Horsley Place

The Sotheby’s London auction of Property & Precious Objects from the Estate of Mary, Duchess of Roxburghe had a pre-sale estimate of £1.6 – £2.3 million but after two days of keen bidding it realised a total of £3,701,654. When this is added to the amount raised by the Duchess’s jewels when auctioned earlier this month it comes to a grand total of £8,861,939. The total pre-sale estimate was £2.6 – £4 million.

The Duchess’s heir Bamber Gascoigne commented: “I’m delighted with the results of Sotheby’s sales results which exceeded expectations, both in London and Geneva. While it has been poignant to see the extraordinary array of my aunt’s possessions go, it has been heartening to see the enthusiasm with which they were received – both prior to the sale and played out in the sale room. Importantly we are now able to start the process of restoring West Horsley Place to secure its future.”

This silver-plated breakfast-in-bed tray sold for nearly 60 times over its pre-sale high estimate ((£200-300) by to selling for £17,500. That’s auctions for you!

A View of West Horsley Place

A View of West Horsley Place

This is a remarkable sale in that it reveals a way of life that has now vanished. The story is told through the seven hundred lots that make up this auction. Mary, Duchess of Roxburghe (1915-2014) was born into one of the great families; her father was Marquess of Crewe and her mother was Peggy Primrose, who was the daughter of the Earl of Rosebery, a British Prime Minister, and his heiress wife Hannah de Rothschild.

This elegant room had not been used for about fifty years and workmen were needed to prise open the shutters which had warped.

Mary Roxburghe, who was named for her godmother Queen Mary and whose husband George V was her godfather, was brought up in the glittering social world of her parents. Their London house was Crewe House in Curzon Street and they also had Crewe Hall in Cheshire. She became engaged to the Duke of Roxburghe at the age of 19, a fact celebrated by a ball at Crewe House and attended by the King and Queen at which the Crewe china and glass, featured in this sale, was used. The 1935 wedding was deemed worthy of being screened in cinemas across the land. The Duke and Duchess travelled extensively – some of the Duchess’s Cartier luggage is in the sale – and she spent part of World War II in the Middle East to be close to the Duke.

However after the war one day as she was sitting at breakfast with the Duke the butler presented her, on a silver salver (naturally), with her divorce papers. After a rather fraught period a settlement was reached and Mary Roxburghe then divided her time between her apartment in London and her parents country home West Horsley Place. The Crewe’s had bought the house in the 1930s after disposing of their other properties following the death of their son and heir. The house contains a melange of items from these other houses, although larger family pictures had also been sold and so when Mary inherited the house in 1973 it became a repository for her things too.

What a great selection there is; footmen’s livery, Coronation robes, paintings, furniture, silver, porcelain, jewellery and Objects of Vertu. All combine to be an integral part of a fascinating story that combines social and historical threads into a whole and tells the story of Mary Roxburghe’s life.

In the following second blog I will include a comment from Bamber Gascoigne, the Duchess’s heir, who is selling these items to help secure the future of this house and show a small selection of items on offer.

It is a delightful book which reveals how by the eighteenth century Europe’s long- established fear of the Turk had been replaced with a fascination for things deemed to have an Ottoman influence. Indeed I remember reading elsewhere that the Prince de Ligne had musicians who wore Turkish costumes.

This beautifully illustrated and researched book celebrates the buildings interiors, gardens, furniture, paintings and variety of objects that were created for Royal and noble patrons in detail. The final chapter looks at how the interest in things Turkish continued into the nineteenth century. Haydn Williams deserves our thanks for producing this really enjoyable book

A MEISSEN BOLOGNESE SPANIEL

Decorative Works of Art, Matthew Barton Ltd, 25 Blythe Road, London W14, December 9th, 2014

I thought I would draw your attention to this charming Meissen figure in Matthew Barton Ltd’s bi-annual auction at 25 Blythe Road.

27 A MEISSEN FIGURE OF A BOLOGNESE SPANIEL, CIRCA 1743 Modelled by J. J. Kändler, free-standing, modelled seated, scratching under its chin with its hind leg, 19cm. high, restoration to right foreleg Provenance: The Collection of Sir Gawaine and Lady Baillie; The Count Alcario Palmieri Collection, Christie's London, 28th March 1996, lot 7 £1200-1800

27 A MEISSEN FIGURE OF A BOLOGNESE SPANIEL, CIRCA 1743
Modelled by J. J. Kändler, free-standing, modelled seated, scratching under its chin with its hind leg, 19cm. high, restoration to right foreleg
Provenance: The Collection of Sir Gawaine and Lady Baillie; The Count Alcario Palmieri Collection, Christie’s London, 28th March 1996, lot 7
£1200-1800

It was modelled, circa 1743,  by the famous J. J. Kändler and would originally have been one of a pair on a chimney piece. One would be scratching and the other sitting upright, both looking at the other. It was at one stage in the noted Meissen collection of Sir Gawaine and Lady Baillie the remainder of which was sold by Sotheby’s last year.

Christie’s, King Street, London – 25 November 2014

The John Shearer Collection of Important Meissen, Vincennes and Sèvres, Christie’s, King Street, London SW1, Tuesday, 25 November 2014, 10:30am

John Shearer CHRISTIE'S IMAGES LTD. 2014

John Shearer
CHRISTIE’S IMAGES LTD. 2014

John Shearer (1924–2010) began collecting in the late 1960s and was helped by one of the most well-respected dealers of the time ‘Bob’ Williams (1923-2014). As this sale shows it must have been a very exciting journey with the emphasis on quality, condition and provenance.

Lot 37 A MEISSEN SLOP-BOWL CIRCA 1723-24 Painted on one side with merchants and their wares in a palace interior overlooking the sea with a ship on the water beyond, the other with a procession of Turkish figures, soldiers, horses and a caparisoned elephant on the shore and a dressed barge beyond with blackamoors aboard, within oval gilt scroll-edged cartouches with Böttger-lustre panels issuing shadowed iron-red scrolls, the interior painted possibly by J.E. Stadler with an Oriental holding a fan within a similar cartouche below a gilt band border (minor chip to footrim) 6 5/8 in. (16.8 cm.) diam. Estimate 15,000 - 20,000 British pounds CHRISTIE'S IMAGES LTD. 2014

Painted on one side with merchants and their wares in a palace interior overlooking the sea with a ship on the water beyond, the other with a procession of Turkish figures, soldiers, horses and a caparisoned elephant on the shore and a dressed barge beyond with blackamoors aboard, within oval gilt scroll-edged cartouches with Böttger-lustre panels issuing shadowed iron-red scrolls, the interior painted possibly by J.E.

6 5/8 in. (16.8 cm.) diam.
Estimate 15,000 – 20,000 British pounds
CHRISTIE’S IMAGES LTD. 2014

Many of the pieces in the collection reflect Shearer’s other interests and passions such as his love of seafaring which is seen in the decoration of some of his Meissen. Similarly various Sèvres pieces show he was also interested in ornithology.

Lot 3 A VINCENNES BALUSTER POT AND A COVER (POT 'A BOUILLON' OR 'MARMITE') CIRCA 1746-49, THE CONTEMPORARY COVER POSSIBLY MATCHED Painted in the Meissen style, one side with boats on a river beside a tower, the other with Turkish and European figures in conversation beside a river, supported on three paw feet (very minor wear to enamels) 12.7 cm. (5 in.) high Estimate 50,000 - 80,000 British pounds CHRISTIE'S IMAGES LTD. 2014

CHRISTIE’S IMAGES LTD. 2014

The decoration of very early pieces of Vincennes reflected the style used in Meissen as can be seen in the rare Vincennes pot ‘a bouillon’ circa 1746-49. The Vincennes factory, later Sèvres, very quickly developed its own style which is well represented in the sale and will be familiar to many.
