From Penicuik House, Midlothian, Scotland. Penicuik Estate, situated to the southwest of Edinburgh at the foot of the Pentlands, has been owned by the Clerk family since the middle of the 17th century. Sits at the heart of this designed landscape is Penicuik House, the finest and most influential example of Palladian architecture in Scotland. The 18th-century Palladian mansion was built by Sir James Clerk, 3rd Baronet, in 1761. It was devastated by fire in 1899. During the fire, a great deal of effort was channelled into salvaging the furnishings. The once magnificent building has stood as a roofless shell for over 100 years. The stables and coach house of the original Penicuik House, converted after the fire into the ‘new’ Penicuik House where the Clerk family reside to this day. A significant selection of property from Penicuik House was sold in this saleroom, 27 March 2024, lot 1-69; A smaller selection of Asian Art from Penicuik House was also sold in this saleroom, 13 March 2024, lot 189-198. The most famous interior feature of the house was the Ossian Hall. A watercolour by G. Carelli, dated 1878, depicts the lavish interior of the Ossian Hall furnished by this garniture set on the fireplace (see illustration 1, circled). A Victorian photograph of the Ossian Hall also shows this garniture set features in the centre of the hall on the fireplace (see illustration 2, circled). One of the covered vases from this garniture set is shown displayed in the drawing room of the ‘new’ Penicuik House (see illustration 3, circled). 佩尼庫克莊園,蘇格蘭中洛錫安。佩尼庫克莊園是蘇格蘭帕拉第奧建築最精美、最有影響力的典範。這座18世紀的帕拉第奧宅邸由第三代男爵Sir James Clerk於1765年建造。1899 年,佩尼庫克莊園被大火摧毀。火災期間,人們投入大量精力搶救其家具及内容,這些家具後來被搬入附近改建的馬厩,Clerk家族後嗣居住於此。佩尼庫克莊園一大部分歐洲藏品於2024年3月27日售於禮昂騰博,拍品1-69;另一部分亞洲藝術藏品於2024年3月13日售出,拍品189-198。佩尼庫克莊園最具代表性的其奧西安大廳(Ossian Hall)。一幅由G. Carelli 1878年繪製的水彩畫描繪了富麗堂皇的奧西安大廳,其中壁爐上陳設的正是此清乾隆外銷粉彩人物紋瓶(附圖,紅圈);另一幅維多利亞時期拍攝的老照片也顯示Clerk家族成員安坐於奧西安大廳,壁爐上亦擺設本組拍品(附圖,紅圈);最後一幅照片乃新佩尼庫克莊園客廳,角落一隅可見本品其中一支帶蓋瓶(附圖,紅圈)。
