Richard Noel Postlethwaite was born in Halifax, Yorkshire. After graduating from Clare College, Cambridge, with a Mathematics Tripos degree, he moved to Yokohama in Japan to work for the Rising Sun Petroleum Company (known today as Shell), where he was an Accountant and Director until 1922. When living in Yamate (known in English as The Bluff), the foreigner's settlement in Yokohama, Postlethwaite met and married Ella Adeline Vincent Cain. Many of the silver pieces included in this sale would have been acquired, or were gifted to the couple for their wedding.Postlethwaite was colleague and friend of Hugh Malcolm (1886-1961), then Managing Director of the Rising Sun Petroleum Company. Lyon & Turnbull successfully sold Malcolm's collection of Japanese Works of Art in 2016.Postlethwaite returned to England just before the Tokyo-Yokohama earthquake of 1923, and brought back his extensive collection of Japanese silver, bronze and ceramics. The second part of the collection will be offered at Lyon & Turnbull's Edinburgh Asian sale in March 2019.

2nd-4th century AD. A finely executed statue of Buddha in schist, standing upright in formal pose on a dais in a loosely draped sanghati robe extending to below the knees with the bare feet resting on the rectangular plinth, beaded swags to the neck and hair carefully carved with a chignon above the ushnisha, serene facial features and heavy-lidded almond eyes, nimbus to the rear of the head, left hand holding a gathered fold of the cloth garment; tiered plinth with frieze of standing four figures flanking a vessel, columns to the corners; mounted on a custom-made stand. 32.7 kg, 89cm (35"). Property of a London gentleman; previously with central London gallery; imported from the USA in the early 1970s; formerly with Mahboubian Gallery, New York since the late 1960s; accompanied by copies of an early 1970s black and white photograph. The Gandharan tradition of portraying Buddha as a youthful male developed during the 1st century AD and lasted until at least the 7th century. It drew on the local artistic conventions of the Swat valley, but was heavily influenced by classical Graeco-Roman ideas. During the reign of the Indian emperor Ashoka (3rd century BC), Gandhara was the source of intensive Buddhist missionary activity. Alongside some influential depictions of Buddhist legends and scenes from the life of Buddha, the Gandharan school of art incorporated a range motifs and techniques from Roman art, including vine scrolls, cherubs bearing garlands, tritons, and centaurs. The art flourished during the Kushan dynasty's rule (1st-4th century AD"). The dynasty relied on trade with the Mediterranean world for its wealth, and its coins and other artistic output depict a unique mix of Asian and European themes. Very fine condition.

[§] JOHN DUNCAN FERGUSSON R.B.A. (SCOTTISH 1874-1961)SEATED NUDE Bronze15cm high (6in)Note:Although a later casting of an edition of 9 made from the plaster is known no other example of this lifetime cast has been recorded. John Duncan Fergusson is acclaimed as a pre-eminent member of the Scottish Colourists - a group of four artists that thrived with their shared interest and training in the French art scene. It is strange to think that a Scottish Colourist would choose a medium so restricted in colour, and he was the only of the four to work in three dimensions. Nonetheless, the period of 1918-22 saw the peak of his sculptural output, in which it can be assumed his Seated Nude mould was made. For Fergusson, sculpture presented new, provoking ways to manipulate and experiment with the human form, the physicality of his sculpture as exciting as the colour in his painted works. Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to be offering three sculptural works by the artist in this auction, all of which reveal Fergusson's fascination with the female form. The pose of Seated Nude is atypical, displaying the woman in a stance of meditation. Her legs are crossed, her arms are outstretched, and her head faces intently forwards. Standing Nude is a more typical pose for Fergusson, a strong and statuesque female figure stands with her arms clasped behind her, bringing one elbow to point up to the sky, the other drawing down by her side. While Head of Meg represents, in three-dimensions, the striking features of his long-term partner and muse, the dancer Margaret Morris.In many ways, the bronze figure of Seated Nude resembles icons of non-Western art - a field by which he was greatly influenced. Recall, perhaps, the ample imagery of sitting Buddha statues that can be found throughout the Asian continent. Cambodia and India, in particular, were of interest to Fergusson whose Celtic roots, he believed, were shared with these peoples. His time working in Paris, Edinburgh and London introduced him to museum collections of objects from foreign lands, and his highly intellectual approach to art certainly expanded his world view.Despite the noticeably continental influence on his work, there still remained this Celtic Spirit which he so passionately championed; his newfound interest in sculpture could be likened to the masonry carving of the Celts, his sculptures often suggestive of a certain primitivism in their figuration and handling. During the First World War, Fergusson spent time in Edinburgh directly carving in stone, following attempts in terracotta and clay throughout his stay in Antibes.Fergusson was producing sculpture alongside his modernist contemporaries working in Paris, such as Jacob Epstein and Constantin Brancusi who were all aligned in their similar choice of material and subject. Nonetheless, judged against concurrent work being produced in Britain, Fergusson's sculptural practice was highly unique in its investigation and rendering of the human form. The offered sculptures demonstrate an assured concoction of influences, cultures, and his intellectual outlook on art. They are one of a select group of pointedly under-appreciated, yet fundamental, sculptures from an artist whose work helped shape 20th Century Modernism.
