`Outdoor' Petworth can go ahead in September

by Frances Allitt

The Petworth Park Antiques & Fine Art Fair can go ahead as planned in September after the National Trust deemed it an `outdoor' event.

All forthcoming indoor fairs have been effectively cancelled by a government announcement prolonging restrictions on events of more than 30 people taking place at conference and event venues until October 1.

However, the West Sussex fair, which runs in a marquee in the grounds of Petworth House, has qualified as an outdoor event. Last week it was granted approval by the National Trust to take place from September 11-13 ? a date rescheduled from its original spot in May.

Delighted exhibitors

"It's obviously what we were hoping for," organiser Ingrid Nilson of Antiques Dealers Fair Limited told ATG. "Because we are classed as an outdoor event, we have an opportunity that isn't open to many other fairs before October."

For the 50 or so dealers slated to stand at Petworth, the fair now offers a bright spot on the calendar.

Bidding battle as Dutch drawings sound call to arms

Pick of the week

Above: one of a pair of drawings of soldiers attributed to Jacob de Gheyn the Younger that sold for ?125,000 at Sworders.

Estimated at ?200-300, a pair of Old Master drawings sold for ?125,000 after a sensational competition at Essex auction house Sworders, writes Alex Capon.

The battle for these military subjects on July 21 in Stansted Mountfitchet involved 12 phone bidders from the UK, US, France and the Netherlands. After 10 minutes, the lot was knocked down to a Dutch buyer.

One of the two 10 x 7in (26 x 18cm) pen and ink sketches on buff paper showed a soldier standing with a pike and the other a separate figure holding a blunderbuss. They came from a local property that did not yield any other significant treasures.

Sudden interest

Catalogued during the lockdown, this was the first time in more than 15 years that Sworders' specialist picture consultant had been unable to inspect the works offered ? hence the sparse cataloguing and lowly pitch. Chairman Guy Schooling admitted they had "slipped through".

After the catalogue went live, the sudden interest led the auction house to reassess them as autograph works by Jacob de Gheyn the Younger (1565-1629). The drawings were, in fact, part of a wellknown series of works by the Antwerp-born artist.

Gheyn the Younger was commissioned in 1597 by the cousin of the Prince of Orange to produce a series of drawings for a military handbook intended as a training manual for officers in the newly formed Dutch standing army.

Vendors hang on to works as

Fairs affected by ruling on indoor events

virus hits sales

by Alex Capon

The `high season' of summer auctions in London held by Sotheby's and Christie's generated ?205.8m including premium last week.

The sales offered a wide range of Old Masters, sculpture, antiquities, books, works on paper and Modern and Contemporary art, with twothirds of the auctions staged as online-only sales and just a scattering of socially distancing room bidders present at the live events.

With the calendar in flux due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is not possible to properly compare this figure with totals from previous years but overall turnover from the major summer sales at the big two salerooms in the capital appears to be under half that from last year's auctions.

Individual highlights

This is mainly due to vendors holding onto key works rather than consigning. However, strong prices can still be achieved for individual highlights, as the current series proved. Among such works at

Christie's `Classic' sales was a marble relief of the Death of Lucretia attributed to Italian Renaissance sculptor Antonio Lombardo (1468-1516).

It had been purchased by the father of the private European vendor in the early 1950s, although its significance was not previously recognised and it was seemingly unknown to modern scholars in the field.

The Christie's catalogue stated that the 19 x 17in (48 x 43cm) relief related to a series of small rectangular plaques, all depicting figures from classical antiquity carved in such high relief as to be almost fully three-dimensional.

In this case Lucretia was depicted standing in the centre of the relief, flanked by two attendant figures and plunging a dagger into her body.

A great rarity at auction, it drew strong competition against a ?500,000-800,000 estimate and was knocked down at ?3.1m to a private European buyer. The price was a record for a work by Lombardo at auction.

Christie's Classic Art evening sale on July 29 was led by a portrait of an unknown woman by Sir Peter Paul Rubens

(1577-1640) that got away under estimate at ?3.4m.

Rembrandt self-portrait

The top Old Master of the week sold the night before at Sotheby's when a Rembrandt (1606-69) self-portrait from 1632 was knocked down for ?12.6m.

Estimated at ?12-16m, it was one of just three self-portraits

Above: the Rembrandt selfportrait from 1632 that sold for ?12.6m at Sotheby's. Left: Death of Lucretia, a marble relief attributed to Venetian sculptor Antonio Lombardo ? ?3.1m at Christie's.

painted by the artist remaining in private hands with the almost all the others now in major museum collections. The work carried a third-party guarantee, meaning it was always bound to sell at the auction.

More works from these sales will be covered in Art Market in a future issue of ATG.

Gold at all-time record as silver rises sharply

The price of gold jumped to a record high in the UK last week as global precious metal markets rose amid economic and political uncertainty, writes Alex Capon.

The weakening dollar, tensions in US-China relations and the growing concerns about the impact of the global pandemic led investors to seek a traditional safe haven.

On Monday, July 27, the gold fix reached ?1511.30, an all-time high and a 28% increase on the rate at the start of the year.

Brighton-based precious

4 | 8 August 2020

metals dealer Michael Bloomstein was paying ?17.58 per gram for nine carat gold.

He said that the higher scrap value meant objects such as gold Albert chains, brooches and pocket watches, especially those with a higher carat, were being consigned in larger quantities and were now destined for the melting pot.

Seven-year silver high

Silver has also spiked, reaching its highest level since 2013.

Bloomstein was paying ?15.70 per ounce for standard silver and said that almost all

items being brought in, except lightweight antique silver, were heading for the furnace.

The latest rises surpassed a previous bounce two months ago when the gold fix rose to ?1450.85 on May 18.

Bloomstein said: "Due to the effects of this terrible virus, world markets and financial institutions have been thrown into disarray with mass unemployment and many currency devaluations.

"In times like these people like to own gold. For hundreds of years people have found it useful for spreading risk."

Some analysts are predicting even further rises in the metals market due to the continuing geopolitical tensions and particularly the expectation of a prolonged weak dollar as the US Federal Reserve seeks to keep interest rates low.

Despite the all-time high for gold, silver remains some way off its record level.

In April 2011, when the scrap value brief ly touched ?30 an ounce, large quantities of silver items were scrapped as the price of the raw material far outstripped their value as antiques.

"They were absolutely elated," Nilson says of the exhibitors. "They've had this hiatus since mid-March and they've been hearing about the other events they were hoping for in September being cancelled."

But after months of uncertainty her pleasure at the verdict is tempered. She adds: "We all know that the situation today might not be the same in a few weeks so we're more nervous than we would be before a normal fair."

Few other antiques shows have been so fortunate.

Neither Cooper Events' Cotswolds Decorative Antiques & Art Fair at Westonbirt House (September 4-6) nor Penman Antique Fairs' Petersfield Antiques Fair on the same weekend are able to go ahead as a result of restrictions.

Galloway Antiques Fairs has also cancelled its two September events planned for Arley Hall in Northwich and Duncombe Park in Yorkshire in reaction to the guidance.

In a f luid situation, the Decorative Antiques & Textiles Fair in Battersea, scheduled to run from September 29 to October 4, is waiting for clarification on whether or not it can take place under government guidance.

Among the other autumn fairs that have been called off are PAD London, Frieze and Frieze Masters, all of which would have run in October, as well as the debut edition of Eye of the Collector which had also been rescheduled from May to September.

Also in London, the IACF show at Alexandra Palace and Adams Antiques Fairs' monthly event at the Royal Horticultural Hall are both off in September, although Jay Fairs at Benson, near Oxford, plans to go ahead with its event on August 16 (see Fairs, Markets & Centres on page 35).

Currently confirmed to go ahead is the Winter Art & Antiques Fair Olympia, which is set for November 3-8 with 70 exhibitors.

The ?260,000 joy of Qianlong's hanging bottles

by Roland Arkell

A pair of imperially inscribed Qianlong (1735-96) mark and period famille rose wall vases set a house record for Asian art at Roseberys.

Estimated at ?20,00030,000 in the south London sale of Chinese, Japanese & South East Asian Art on July 28, they sold for ?260,000 (?324,500 including 25% buyer's premium).

According to the archives of the imperial workshops, it was in 1742 that the art-obsessed emperor Qianlong instructed Tang Ying (1682-1756), head of the Jingdezhen imperial kilns, to produce porcelains inscribed with his poems.

The same year the first wall pockets were made following a request for a vase suitable for displaying fragrant flowers in a

sedan chair. They became one of the emperor's favourite forms and one that developed across his long reign.

Of the 320 Qianlong wall vases recorded in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing, 138 are inscribed with poems by the emperor.

Imperial poem

This 8in (20cm) pair with a ruby ground feature The Hanging Bottle, a verse dated to 1758 in which the emperor expresses his delight in seeing a wall vase filled with f lowers hanging inside his sedan chair on the way to a hunting trip. The two iron-red seal marks read Qianlong chen han (`the Qianlong Emperor's own mark').

They came from a private west London collection and had been inherited around 1950. Condition issues included broken and rebuilt dragon

handles (with small losses) and some chipping to two corners.

Nine prospective buyers had paid a deposit to bid on this `premium lot' ? seven on the phone and two Chinese agents in the room.

One of the latter opened the contest with the shout of ?100,000 but it was the other, taking instructions in West Norwood via a mobile phone, who placed the winning bid.

Roseberys' specialist Bill Forrest told ATG it had been "a seriously strong sale ? our best so far", with a hammer total of ?914,000.

Last November, Sworders sold a similar wall vase with a yellow sgraffito ground and a poem praising incense that was dated to c.1745. Bought by the vendor in a Hertfordshire charity shop earlier in 2019 for ?1, it sold for ?380,000 (plus 25% buyer's premium).

Pick of the week

Buyer answers call to arms at ?125,000

Continued from front page

The completed drawings, which demonstrated the correct handling of the pike, the musket and the caliver (an early handgun like an arquebus), were then engraved by de Gheyn's pupils for the publication Wapenhandelinghe van Roers, Masquetten ende Spiessen, better known in English as The Exercise of Armes, which eventually appeared in 1607 with 117 plates.

The illustrated guide is regarded as one of the defining military handbooks of the age.

The Delft factories produced a series of tiles based on the engravings and at Clifton Hall in Nottinghamshire

the designs were used for paintings on the panelling.

More than half of de Gheyn's original drawings for the series are known to survive, including 25 in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and 20 in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.

A number have appeared at auction before, with the highest prices fetched, according to Artprice by Artmarket, being Trayle your pike that made ?58,000 at Sotheby's in July 2010 and Charge your pike at the right foote which sold for ?46,000 at Christie's in July 2014.

On close inspection, Sworders' drawings carried watermarks that matched known examples from the series.

Among the underbidders was dealer Crispian Riley-Smith, who described them as "amazing images in great condition whose whereabouts was previously unknown".

With 25% buyer's premium included, the winning bidder will be paying more than ?156,000.

Pokemon cards take ?25,000

A complete base set of first edition Shadowless Pokemon cards bought directly from the original US publisher in 1999 sold on for ?25,000 in the Richard Winterton auction in Lichfield on July 27.



The 102-card set, which had been estimated at ?25,00035,000, has actually 103 cards as there are two different versions of the Pikachu, numbered 58a for Red Cheek Pikachu and 58b for Yellow Cheek Pikachu.

The vendor was Nigel Brookes, a 33-year-old selfemployed sales consultant who grew up in Streetly, West Midlands. The collection was bought in 1999 for his 14th birthday as a special present. Unusually for the time, it was acquired online from the Wizards Of The Coast shop in the US.

The cards were offered together with a vintage 1990s official Pokemon trading card binder with the classic slogan Gotta catch 'em all! on the cover.

George VI expresses thanks to therapist

A royal presentation silver cigarette case given by George VI to his speech therapist Lionel Logue, the subject of the 2010 film The King's Speech, sold for ?61,000 at Woolley & Wallis in Salisbury.

Estimated at ?4000-6000, the case had an accompanying letter from the king to Logue.

Logue was an Australian speech and language therapist and amateur stage actor who was engaged to treat George VI for his stammer in 1926. In the 2010 film, he was played by Geoffrey Rush and the king by Colin Firth.

Numerous bidders competed for the lot at the July 22-23 auction and it was knocked down to a private UK buyer who saw off bidding from dealer Wartski. Among the other underbidders was Prince Alfred College in Adelaide, where Logue was educated.

Dating from 1936, the 5in (13cm) cigarette case was made by The Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company in London and carries the royal cipher of George VI in gold.

The letter was dated May 17, 1937, and was sent five days after the coronation. Written from Windsor Castle, it begins: "The Queen and I have just viewed the film of our Coronation, and I could not wait to send you a few lines to thank you again for your hard work in helping me prepare for the great day."

Both the case and letter had provenance to Logue (1880-1953), his brother Herbert (1883- 1954), Charles McGowan and Sons in 1953, and then they had descended through the family of the vendor at the Salisbury auction.
