Jewellery Section:
Clients are advised that many coloured gemstones are treated to enhance their properties. For example, heating is commonly used to improve the colour or transparency of rubies and sapphires; oiling is used to enhance clarity of emeralds. Such enhancement procedures are widely accepted by the international jewellery profession. While the colour of heat-treated stones is permanent, oiling may need to be repeated after a number of years in order for emeralds to retain optimum clarity.
Prospective buyers should therefore bear in mind that, unless otherwise stated, such enhancement methods could have been used.
Paintings Section:

SIR FRANK BRANGWYN RA RWS RBA (1867-1956)
Breaking up the 'Hannibal'
original etching, pencil signed
Pl. 19 1/2 x 24 1/2 in
From the only edition of 70 signed proofs
Literature: Gaunt 36
This is one of Brangwyn's earliest large scale etchings. Etched on zinc after a preparatory sketch. HMS Hannibal a wooden screw-ship of the line was built in 1854, powered by 450 horse-power engines. The scene shows the massive hulk of the old wooden Hannibal lying in Castle's breaking-yard at Charlton, Woolwich
The artist and writer Walter Shaw Sparrow wrote in 1919 of Brangwyn's depiction of 'Hannibal' comparing it to Turner's Fighting Temeraire, noting however that the 'Hannibal was brought too close to my eyes, occupying so much of a large plate that I cannot see her poetry because I see much of her bulk'. By contrast the Temeraire was 'surrounded by a great seascape and visiting sunset'...As a big study full of apt concentration, Brangwyn's 'Hannibal' is very good; but yet...it seems to me that he ought to have achieved more because his emotion was all of a piece with Turner's'

Robert Hancock, (the engraver of the mezzotint depicting Edward Scofield), joined the Worcester Porcelain Company in 1756. He worked there for the next twenty years before having a short spell at Caughley. After 1780 he concentrated more on stipple and mezzotint portrait engravings.Sale price: £170

In the hope that he could generate interest in his work in England, John Trumbull the American artist, depicted the victory of the British over the Spanish at Gibraltar. Benjamin West, Trumble's mentor had recommended the subject to him, perhaps to rival John Singleton Copley's painting depicting The Seige of Gibraltar.The Sortie portrays the death of the Spanish Officer, Don Jose de Barboza who made a lone rush against the British Troops after he was abandoned by his own men. He refused aid offered by the British, preferring to die on the battlefield.
Copley's engraving of the Seige and Relief of Gibraltar depicts General Lord Heathfield on horseback, leading his soldiers on a fortress. He points towards the fighting and burning ships, with the Bay of Gibraltar in the distance.Sale price: £130

in a black painted arts and crafts wood frame, inscribed with metallic paint, overall size 22 x 68 in
Provenance: with Christian Klackner, 5, 17th East Street, New York
The frame is inscribed (left panel) 'Whilst Psyche wept upon the Rock, Forsaken, Alone, Despairing, Dreading-Gradually'; 'Forsaken, alone, despairing, dreading, gradually (centre panel) by Zephyrus she was enwrapt and taken, still trembling like the lilies planted high, through all her fair white limbs'; (right panel) 'Yet Love was not far off'.
Hollyer was exhibiting copies of prints of the Story of Psyche as early as 1894 (see The Photographic Journal, Sept 22 1894 no.146) and into the the early edwardian period. Their subject matter reproducing the relief sculpture by Harry Bates of 'The Story of Psyche'. This exists as a silvered bronze triptych, now in the Collection of the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
M.H.Spielmann's 'British sculpture and sculptors of today' (1901) includes a full -page advertisement for 'Permanent photographs of the works of Harry Bates, ARA ... by Frederick Hollyer', including illustrations of the three panels of 'The Story of Psyche'.
In the late 19th Century, Frederick Hollyer had established himself as a specialist in the photographic reproduction of contemporary art. Catalogues of his 'platinotype reproductions' were issued regularly between 1893 and 1911. Indeed Hollyer exhibited a set of platinum prints depicting Harry Bate's The Story of Psyche in the 39th annual exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society where it could be purchased for £6 6sh. In his review of that exhibition Alfred Horsley Hinton noted 'A finer or more complete idea of relief has probably never been produced than the reproduction of Harry Bates 'Story of Psyche', which is shown by F. Hollyer. The relief of the original clay modelling is so perfect given that it seems difficult to see why, from an aeshetic point of view, such productions should not be largely used for high class decoration...'

Exhibited: City of Birmingham, Museum & Art Gallery, Catalogue of a special collection of Works by David Cox, 1890 no. 3 (as Staircase to Terrace, Haddon Hall)
There were over 400 works exhibited in the 1890 exhibition, including some whose attribution have been subsequently called into question. Such was the demand for Cox's work at the time (his stature being close to Constable and Turner), that enhancement of works was common.
James Tertius Collins (d.1913), whose label appears on the reverse of the watercolour, was a Birmingham brassfounder and businessman. He was clearly a significant collector. After his death in 1913 there were were several bequests from his Estate to Birmingham City Art Gallery, including watercolours by Callow, Cox and Wimperis.

He held a number of solo exhibitions at the Zwemmer Gallery, London between 1955 and 1968.
Connor had a nostalgic pastoral vision, sometimes imbued with melancholy, at the passing of time and a changing world. Many of his landscapes portrayed the Suffolk countryside which he regularly visited. In 1989 O'Connor wrote that in his landscape art 'he retained a search for timelessness in subject matter and in mood of painting with avoidance of material that dates or humanises the picture..he also sought unusual weather conditions'.

AFTER PAOLO CALIARI VERONESE (1528-1588)
The Triumph of the Mordecai
oil on canvas, painted tondo
26 x 22in, within an early nineteenth century gilded frame
Painted c.1820 or earlier
The composition is after the 1556 ceiling painting in St. Sebastiano Church, Venice. The subject is an episode from The Triumph of Mordecai. The story to be found in the Old Testament book of Esther (Chapters 2-7). It is an intricate and ironic tale of revenge centring around the Jewish beauty Esther and her elder relative and guardian Mordecai. The tale ends with the downfall of Haman, a senior adviser to the King Ahaseurus. In the ultimate irony Haman is eventually hung from the very gallows that he had constructed, in order to hang Mordecai. Veronese's image depicts the later Procession to celebrate Mordecai's Triumph utilising a 'di sotto in su' technique, so that the viewer is shown the event from an unusual angle with remarkable illusions in the composition. It became a source of inspiration for a number of other ceiling paintings of the Baroque era.Sale price: not sold.

W. Elsmere, Esq.
Thence by descent
A copy of the 1881 William Hall, Wateridge & Owen auction catalogue is sold with the painting; together with a manuscript letter from W. Elsmere dated 25/11/1881. That letter refers to Pardon's painting of Samuel and is addressed to the original purchaser at the 10 November 1881 auction. Elsmere writes..'I am obliged by your favour of this morning, but not being too much of a judge of pictures myself, I do not feel inclined to offer a fancy price for the painting alluded to. My sole reason for wishing to possess it is that a near relative of mine sat for that picture when a child...'
James 'Canterbury' Pardon was trained at the R. A. Schools and initially exhibited at the Royal Academy from addresses in London and Canterbury where he was noted in a local Directory as 'a portrait painter and carver/gilder' of 51, St.Peter's Street, Canterbury. In about 1837 he moved to the Midlands, and in 1851 he opened a portrait studio in Shrewsbury. There he painted a number of local figures including RiceWynne, Mayor of Shrewsbury and Robert Darwin (father of Charles Darwin), then a doctor at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

SIDNEY RICHARD PERCY (1822-1886)
In the Highlands
signed 'S. R. Percy' (lower right)
oil on canvas
20 x 30 in
Provenance: Purchased from the Cooling Galleries, Bond Street, London, circa 1965
Thence by descent to the present vendor
Sidney Richard Percy was taught by his father, the landscape painter Edward Williams (1781-1855), and was one of an extended family of talented artists. In a working career stretching over 40 years he exhibited nearly 200 landscape subjects at the Royal Academy, The British Institution and the Suffolk Street Gallery of the Society of British Artists.
In his early years as an artist, Percy concentrated on depicting landscapes within a reasonably close proximity to his home in Barnes. However as he matured as a landscape painter, he increasingly sought inspiration in Devon, Yorkshire, The Lake District and further afield.
His detailed landscapes proved particularly popular with the Victorian public, and their sales afforded him the ability to live a life of some affluence.. Acclaim for Percy's landscapes perhaps reached its zenith in the 1860s, soon after Prince Albert had given one of Percy's landscapes to his wife Queen Victoria.This is still retained in the Royal Collection.
After a painting tour of Switzerland with William Callow in 1866, Sidney Percy returned to England, re-inspired to depict the grandeur of the mountain scenery within Britain. Not only did he travel to North Wales, but in the 1870's made a number of painting expeditions to the Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye. The example at Brightwells may well have been painted at that time.Sale price: £5,000

The ancient village of Bransford sits adjoining the river Teme, in an area of countryside between Worcester and Malvern frequently painted by Bates.The origins of the name of Bransford are unknown but is believed to originally have translated as 'Ford at Bragen'.

The first bridge here over the Teme was built in 1338, and it has been re-built a number of times since that time.In the 17th century a bridge was destroyed here by King Charles 11's Scottish Army.
A Victorian directory noted that there was a corn mill near the bridge, and also a small manufactory there for agricultural implements. It also housed a group of glove-sewers.
David Bates worked as a painter at the Worcester Porcelain factory for over twenty-five years, before leaving in 1880 to pursue his own career as an artist. During that time he lived at various addresses in Worcester and MalvernSale price: £2,600

B. PRABHA (1933-2001)
Untitled (Two Boys)
signed and dated 'B. Prabha, 1965' (upper right)
oil on canvas
56 x 38 in
Provenance:
Philip Richardson, Esq, Arundel, Sussex (by c.1990);
Thence by descent
Philip Richardson travelled to India and had a wide circle of Indian friends and contacts both there and in the UK. He met Prabha in person on at least one occasion, and may very possibly have acquired this painting direct from the artist.
Badgelwar Prabha (better known as B. Prabha) began her career when there were few other leading women artists in India. Working in the 1950's and 1960's when post-independence India was in the throes of dynamic change and upheaval, Prabha utilised her unique position as one of the very few professional artists to become a medium for strong social commentary on poverty and inequality in Indian Society.
She studied at the Nagpur School of Art and afterwards at the Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai. Soon after she married the artist and sculptor B. Vithal. Two years following that she exhibited at the Bombay Exhibition of 1958, where she won first prize. She followed that up with two solo shows at Delhi's Kumar Gallery in 1959 and 1961.
Prabha had come to Bombay as a financially struggling artist, and is said to have initially sold pieces of family jewellery to raise funds. At that time she and her husband were living in a dilapidated house at Worli Naka. Their first month's rent and Prabha's paints allegedly being purchased from Vithal's first ever commission fee which he received for helping sculpt a statue of Vallabbhai Patel. Prabha's first break through came when three of her paintings were purchased by the eminent Indian scientist Homi J. Bhaba.
Prabha embraced a bold, modern Indian aesthetic. She developed a style which became well known for her characteristic images of elongated pensive figures on canvases, executed in a single dominant colour. Over the years, her penchant for simplicity, perhaps to counter the myriad complexities of life, led her to develop a characteristic, elegant style that came to be instantly recognisable. Her refined aesthetic language, defined by elongated, graceful lines and figures, always guided and informed her works.The writer Shirin Bahadurji wrote of Prabha's paintings "Her figures have a haunting presence as if caught in a rare moment of stillness and silence- a single second stolen out of the bustle of daily living''
Prabha claimed that 'she was more at ease with the female form, painting men only in large murals where they blend into the backdrop'. The subject matter of her work often centred on the rural and urban poor. She was particularly concerned with the issues of hunger, homelessness and the subservient role of women in Indian life. In 1965 she executed a 'hunger' series of fourteen paintings that depicted the slums of Bombay and the 'shattered dreams of the hutments'. For three other figurative paintings by Prabha dateable to 1965, cf. Christies's, New York, March 8th 2008, Lot 22; Sotheby's, London June 16th 2009 lot 43; and Christies's London June 11th 2008, lot 76. The Brightwell's example with, unusually for Prabha, all nude sitters, has certain compositional similarities with a later 1982 work by the artist sold at Artiana Auctions, Dubai, 13th October 2016, Lot 5. That work also depicted a double portrait (of two Indian Girls wearing Saris) featured against a largely opaque background.Sale price: £16,000
