telephone bids must be confirmed in

writing, listing the relevant lots and

appropriate number to be called. We

recommend that a covering bid is

also left in the event that we are

unable to make the call. We cannot

guarantee that lines will be

available, or that we will be able to

call you on the day, but will

endeavour to undertake such bids to

the best of our abilities.

At the Sale

To bid at the sale all potential

buyers must be registered with us

on or before the day of sale. We will

residence, and may require a bank

reference. Potential buyers must

collect a bidding number before the

sale begins, and show that number

if successful in purchasing a lot.

repeats the number correctly when

doubt at this stage as to the

hammer price or buyer it must be

brought to the auctioneer’s attention

immediately. All lots will be invoiced

received will take precedence. They

at least an hour before the sale. We

will do our utmost to execute these

bids but we offer this service entirely

Under this legislation, we are

required to collect a royalty payment

the artist is still living. This royalty

will be charged to the buyer on the

hammer price and in addition to the

buyers premium. It will not apply to

works where the hammer price is

less than €1,000 (euros). The charge

for works of art sold at and above

€1,000 (euros) and below €50,000

(euros) is 4%. For items selling

above €50,000 (euros), 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.

Please note that the royalty payment

is calculated on the rate of exchange

at the European Central Bank on the

date of the sale.

Note:Only two other black terracottaWemyss figures have appeared atauction in recent times; a cat,offered at William Hardie’s, Glasgowon Thursday 10th December 1992;and a small pig at Sotheby’s,Gleneagles on Tuesday 29th August2006, Lot 218. Interestingly theSotheby’s pig was also unmarked,however the figure of the cat wasmarked by the factory. This anomalymay suggest that terracotta figureswere made in a commercial sectionof the pottery with other terracottaranges, rather than in the Wemyssshop. Additionally each knownterracotta example has been slightlysmaller than its earthenwarecounterpart, probably due todifferences in shrinkage in the kiln.

Nots:When the Grand Caledonian CurlingClub was instituted in 1838 for thepurpose “of regulating the ancientScottish game of Curling by generallaws” it was the four by two form ofthe game that was chosen and bythe early 1860s this formed hadousted all the others. By 1842 thenew national club had sought andobtained royal patronage, and it hasever since been known as the RoyalCaledonian Curling Club.

From 1838 onwards the gameexploded in popularity until by thelast decades of the nineteenthcentury every county had at leastone club affiliated with the RoyalClub, and almost every parish in theland had its custom-made curlingpond. (Extracted from RCCCwebsite)

weight to the theory of their usebeing for coffee.

Their functionality also is worthy ofnote, when it is considered thatwithin contemporary accounts coffeeis considered medicinal and should‘be drunk as hot as one can bear’the shape combined with the use ofa burner (now lacking in most ofextant examples) would have meantthe contents could have been kepthot. While most of the surviving urnshave now lost their burners, most(including this example) show signsof their use. The underside point ofthe urn (where most are marked)would have become polished outwith the vigorous cleaning needed toremove the staining left behind bythe burner.

The ovoid coffee urn is perhaps themost unique design seen in Scottishsilver; where the inspiration for thisdesign emanates from still remainsa mystery.

Even the use of these urns hascaused debate and the generalconsensus seems to be that of acoffee urn. Previously often termedwater urns, this now appears wrong.

During the period of these urnsmanufacture (circa 1719-1767) andparticularly within the height of theirmanufacture (circa 1730 -1750) thenumber of standard pouring coffeepots is minimal. This and areference in the John Rollo,Goldsmith Edinburgh, account book'To one Coffe poot 62 oz 2dr at 7sh6pe per oz - £23 - 5 - 8' and thesurvival of this piece adds great

this is the only urn with the texturedfinish to the handles this would havebeen added after the cast had beenmade. Thirdly the cast legs andimportantly the appliqué betweenbody and leg, are from the samemould as seen on other Kerr &Dempster urns.

The crossover of makers using thesame moulds and patterns forhandles, legs and spigot does addsome confusion to these theoriesbut the majority of urns using thesemoulds can be tied to the Kerr &Dempster workshop and must beconsidered when trying to attributethis urn to a specific maker.

Due to the fact that the AssayMasters mark of Hugh Gordon isstill visible to this urn proves it musthave been made 1744-1758, thisdoes suggest that the most likelyperiod of the Kerr & Dempsterworkshop would have been underthe control of William Dempster,rather than Kerr and is consideredthat his name is the most obvious tobe tied as maker of this item. Whileit has not been possible to proveWilliam Dempster the maker of thisurn it does now seem highlyprobable.

The survival rate of these urns isextremely small with only fifteencurrently recorded, and ten of thesein institutional hands. The design ofthese urns seems to vary more bythe period than maker, with themain flare of the maker coming inthe outline shape of the body; theycan vary in shape from elongatedegg shaped to more compressedsquat bodies.

While the marks to this example arenow all but obliterated frompolishing, it does seem possible tosuggest a maker, when the wholesurvival of these urns is comparedand stylistic trends noted.

Firstly the most prolific maker /workshop seen with the extantexamples are unsurprisingly that ofJames Kerr / William Dempster,who would laterally become Kerr &Dempster. They were one ofScotland’s most highly regardedgoldsmiths and received manyimportant commissions for thehighest fashion silver of the day, it istherefore unsurprising that hismarks are seen to the largepercentage of these urns.

Also the design and quality of thisurn is of note in many features.Firstly the quality of the chaseddecoration, the deep and bolddecoration could only have comefrom a very high quality Edinburghworkshop such as Kerr & Dempster.Such is the quality of the chasing tothis urn that it has previously beenconsidered to have been the hand ofEbenezer Oliphant considered one ofEdinburgh’s finest chasers. Secondlythe cast snake arms are of a mouldrecorded on other Kerr & Dempsterurns, access to a prepared mould inthe workshop must suggest a placeof manufacture similar to the otherurns featuring these handles.

over the house and gardens atBarncleuch which had beenconstructed by his grandfather JohnHamilton of Barncleuch,Commissary of Hamilton andCampsie in 1583. While the house atBarncleuch was of no great notewithin Scottish stately homearchitecture it was the gardenscreated by John Hamilton that reallystood out.

These terraced gardens he createdwith great vision and ambitioncarving five terraces into the steephillside from the house to the riverAvon and carried out large amountsof structural work. His visions andcreations were no doubt inspired byhis experiences travelling the worldwhich consumed a large part of hislife.

Quintin and Marion are believed tohave had five children and uponQuintin’s death in circa 1680 he wassucceeded by his eldest son Johnwho in turn died on 21st February1705 without direct heir.

Note:The survival of Scottish Puritanspoons is surprisingly rare whencompared to the same style andperiod of English examples. To dateonly nine hallmarked or provincialexamples are known and thisexample being the earliest.

It is unknown why this patternshould be so rare in Scotland whenit is such a standard andcomparably common pattern inEnglish silver. It must be consideredthat a large number have beenmelted down and re fashionedthroughout their history and lost.However even when compared to theother patterns of early Scottish

flatware their survival still seemsremarkably small.

Even within such a small survivalfashions and trends can be noticed.While following the Englishexamples the Scottish made piecesdo show variation.

Due to its early manufacture thispiece must be considered one of theplainer examples, virtually withoutadditional decoration to the stem,other than the almost standardthree V cut notches to terminal. Theaddition of the simple inciseddecoration above the bowl being it’sonly additional adornment andunique to this spoon.

For a full listing of currentlyrecorded Scottish Puritan spoonssee ‘An important new discovery inearly Scottish silver’ The FinialSeptember / October 2008.

Another interesting angle to thisspoon are the engraved ownersinitials to the reverse of the bowl;with the original source ofBarncleuch, it does appear that theupper initials ‘QH’ stand for QuintinHamilton of Barncleuch and it mustbe assumed the lower set ‘MD’ forMarion Denham his wife, the date ofmarriage so far remains untracedbut is presumably roughlycontemporary to the spoon.

Little is known about QuintinHamilton other than he succeededhis father James Hamilton and took

It has beenthis involvement in the recording ofScottish silver and the makers that thecollection’s reputation has grown andindeed many of the pieces can now bebetter appreciated and show Scotlandas a producer of fine craftsmanship.

While it has often been debated thatexamples such as this are lackingburners, this would seem unlikely assuch a high proportion of Scottishexamples are found this way. Thelack of a burner would notnecessitate a change in design andwhen the central loop section alsoprovides the hinging action it seemshighly likely that these would be leftin rather than have to re design awhole item.

22cm wide, 10oz

Note:While there is often great debateand confusion regarding the identityof Edinburgh maker’s marks WD,generally between the crossover ofWilliam Dempster and WilliamDavie. The use in this punch of a *between the initials ties this punchto the hand of William Dempster.As can be seen with various maker’spunches throughout Scottish silver,it was common for makersregistering punches to follow closelythat the style of their master or aworkshop they had or wereconnected with. This * betweenshows great similarities to thepartnership punch of Kerr &Dempster and also the serratedoutline and style of lettering backsthis theory.

While great confusion does stillsurround the various ‘WD’ punchesit is hoped ongoing research mayeventually tie the various punches toconfirmed makers.

Note:This very unusual ‘flying’ scroll figuralhandle forms part of a small survivalof Scottish silver. Although rare, bothdolphin and snake formed handles areknown but in only very smallnumbers, while the S scroll ‘flying’handle must be considered a standardof the period.

Of dolphin formed examples itappears as few as six recordedexamples exist (including a pair,counted as one), the earliest being byWilliam Dempster (or possibly Davie),Edinburgh 1743-1744.

Of the six known examples surviving,they are only produced by threemakers, William Dempster (or Davie),Robert Gordon and Ebenezer Oliphantall of Edinburgh, with Robert Gordonwith four of the six bearing his mark.One thing all these maker have incommon is the continual highly qualityand fashionable work they produced,and in fact it is not surprising they arethe makers who produced theseunusual items.

Note:The survival of Scottish bleeding bowls is extremely rare with only sevenrecorded between 1689-1811. This example is within the central (and mostprolific) period of manufacture with three dated for this year.

There is no apparent reason for this small survival (and by associationassumed manufacture), except to consider that the fashion for this type ofware was not as high as with English and indeed American markets, wherethese items are considered much more of a common standard.

Note:

This sugar / slop bowl is amongst the earliest three footed Scottish examples(pre dated by one 1726-1727) by James Kerr with lion mask and paw feet andpredates all recorded Irish examples. The overall style and design feature areinteresting and very comparable to other facets of period work. The evertedrim is obviously similar to pedestal sugar bowls, cream boats etc and theterminals and hoof feet supporting it show very visible comparables to creamboats of the period.

For a comparable sugar bowl of the same date by James Kerr, see ‘Silver;made in Scotland’ National Museums of Scotland 2008 item 433, as part ofthe Hopetoun tea service.

While this has previously been catalogued as a slop bowl its use might in facthave been for sugar as its size while deep is not as large as others recorded.

20.5cm long, 1.5oz

Note:Items attributed to Charles DicksonI of Dundee are very rare and to dateno items of hollow ware are notedand only a very small number ofspoons.

The design of this spoon is ofparticular interest as this unusuallyshaped terminal appears to suggesta transitional period between theDog Nosed and Hanoverianpatterns, often termed spatula. Thisdesign is quite accomplished on thisexample with the slight upturnedterminal, and chamfered stem, theslender rattail is also verycomparable to late Dog Nosedexamples.

respectively than the next tworecorded examples. Whenconsidered alongside the morestandard table spoons of the period(with an average weight of around2oz) iit s six times heavier.

This large size has also necessitatedslight changes in design to allow forthe proportions, firstly the mouldedcentral point to the terminalappears to be so that the spoonbalances when displayed on a tableto show hallmarks (as fashion of theperiod dictated) and secondly thelong and muscular nature of therattail to support the large deepbowl.

Although the date letter struck tothis piece is very worn, there can belittle doubt to the attribution. Fromthe remaining outline of the punch itis obviously a shaped cartouche andnot a straight sided punch, thiscombined with the clear AssayMasters mark of James Penmanmust place it to 1704 or earlier, ashis tenure as Assay Master ends in1707, and straight sided date letterpunches are started in 1705.

Note:This early 18th century thistle cup isinteresting in many ways. Firstly themaker’s mark struck for EdwardPenman is struck only one yearafter he is created a Freeman of theIncorporation, and shows how evena relatively new silversmith wasgaining interesting commissionseven at a very early stage in hiscareer. In this instance withoutdoubt due to his family connectionsand history within the trade, note hisFathers mark as Assay Master.

The decoration is always worthy ofnote, and while lobed decoration tothe lower sections of thistle cups isvirtually standard, the varietiesnoted within this style is interesting.This example with chased semispiralled lobes / gadrooning isinteresting as is obviously verydifferent to the standard applieddecorations more commonly seen.

8.7cm diameter, 3oz

Note:This plaid brooch is of the pattern worn by the Balmoral Highlanders.William Robb was commissioned on many occasions by King Edward and hismother Queen Victoria to make silver for the Royal family and also utilitarianwares for the dress uniforms of the Balmoral Highlanders.

The Balmoral Highlanders were formed from the estate and householdworkers at Balmoral and performed ceremonial duties at the castle for stateoccasions and also at the local Highland gatherings etc. While the mainorder for uniforms from Robb was placed in 1904 earlier examples such asthis do exist. The later engraved inscription to the reverse does seem tosuggest that when the recipient left the estate employment he was presentedwith this piece.

The main order placed to William Robb for Balmoral Highlanders uniformaccessories in 1904 was for a complete set for twenty five men. TheHighlanders had been in existence for sometime previous to this and hadbeen in varying forms for over 30 years

7cm wide

Note:While Banff silversmiths were working to a very high standard the survival of hollowware in general is low in number and within this snuff boxes forms a small part.Particularly when considered among the survival of provincial silver across Scotland.

George Elder was a very accomplished Banff maker and this is most often seenthrough his high quality production of flatware, among the small survival of hisholloware items such as Communion beakers, brandy pan (Lyon & Turnbull MurrayCollection 20th August 2003 lot 243, item and marks illustrated) and spirit labels areknown.

Although only struck with maker’s mark ‘GE’ twice, the unusual proportions of the punch and slightlyunusual font of the lettering are noted on fully marked Banff flatware attributed to this maker.

Secondly the Scratch weight 11o (oz)5d (drops) under the engraved initials is slightly unusual to be found onspoons and indeed even more so as it is for the combined weight of the sixrather than each individual spoon.

Note:While etched and engraved blades for Victorian military dirksare not uncommon it is very unusual to find such engravedscenes to the blade of a civilian dirk. It is possible that thescenes denote part of the dirks history and suggest it ispossible a ghillies dress dirk for a large Highland estate. It isrecorded that after Queen Victoria (and later monarchs)started the fashion to supply dress wear to estate staff someof the larger estates followed suit, this was often incarnated inofficial tweed and tartans for workers but in some cases wentfurther to Highland Dress accessories.

Exhibition:Festival of Britain Arts andHandicrafts Exhibition

Provenance:Private CollectionsTremblath & Wells Auctions, Essex,circa 1969Private Collection

References::For similar work in the hand of MaryQueen of Scots, see ‘TheNeedlework of Mary Queen of Scots’Margaret Swain 1973, page 32 plate11

Note:The accompanying 19th century notestating, ‘lace work by Mary Queen ofScots, while in Loch Leven castle’ isan interesting but hard tosubstantiate provenance. It doeshowever add a great deal of interestto the item, and at a particularlyemotive time of her life during hermarriage and imprisonment in 1567.Research into the possibility doesadd interest and weight. FromMargaret Swain’s book on the lacework of Mary, we can see that thistype of panelled work was obviouslythe fashion of the time and the lionpassant seen to this piece is alsowithin the vein of animals andheraldic representations seen withinthe illustrations in plate 11 by MaryQueen of Scot’s hand. Mary’sinterest and skill in needle and lacework are well recorded and such

work would certainly have beenwithin her skills. The mention ofworked in ‘Loch Leven castle’ alsoties to a very turbulent and wellrecorded period of her life. WhileMary was imprisoned at this timeshe was not held within a cell andappears to have lived life while notin the full comfort befitting a Queen,certainly not at the level of aprisoner and her time would havebeen spent in her interests andpursuits. During the Festival ofBritain in 1951 many satelliteexhibitions were held to coincidewith the main events such as the‘Festival of Britain Arts andHandicraft Exhibition, DanburyVillage Hall’. This was a time ofgreat renewed interest in all thingsBritish and the varied and importanthistorical past of the country. To thisend the satellite exhibitions heldmany displays with relics andimportant art and antiques fromlocal museums, institutions andfamily collections. Sadly nocatalogue of this exhibition can betraced to give further details.
