A brass ‘capstan’ candlestick, late 16th /17th century, the socket with twin rectangular apertures, above a socle, drip pan and spreading base, 13cm high. Cf. Ronald E Michaelis, Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978, see pp 56-58 for comparable examples.
A Spanish brass candlestick, late 17th/ early 18th century, with knopped stem and square base, on triangular section lug feet, 14cm high; and another Spanish brass candlestick, first half 17th century, with knopped stem, the square base with raised circular drip tray and integral bracket feet, 13cm high. Literature: Both of these candlesticks were featured by Ronald F Michaelis, Old Domestic Base Metal Candlesticks, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978. The first is to the right of figure 146 on p100, whilst the earlier example is to the right of figure 143 on p99. Michaelis draws attention to the scallopshell cast to one corner to the base underside, probably the maker’s mark.
A Dutch brass Heemskerk candlestick, circa 1680, the tulip shaped socket and knopped stem with broad drip pan above an ‘inverted acorn’ moulding and a circular, spreading base, 21cm high. Cf. Ronald F.Michaelis, Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978, p78, figure 108a for a very similar example.
A Dutch brass Heemskerk candlestick, first half 17th century, with pierced socket and ‘ridged ball’ type knopped shaft, descending past the dished drip pan to a circular, spreading base, 19cm high. In his work Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks, (Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978), p71ff Ronald Michaelis states that the ‘ridged ball’ stem types gave way to the ‘inverted acorn’ type by the middle of the 17th century, suggesting that this stick was probably produced between 1600 and 1650. However its place of origin is slightly less certain since it was probable that Heemskerk types were produced in England as well as the Netherlands, although apparently not in brass before circa 1620.
A George II brass candlestick in the William III manner, second quarter 18th century, with knopped stem, the square base with concave circular drip tray, 22.5cm high. Ronald Michaelis suggests that this form, made in the 18th century technique but in a much earlier style, reflected the reluctance of provincial makers to adopt the newer styles of the day. Cf Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978, p116.
A Continental, probably French wrought iron lenticular lamp, first half 19th century, of typical form with swing handle above the cushion form reservoir, the filling plate with cockerel finial, 26.5cm high including hanging attachments, 12.5cm wide. Comparative Literature: Cf. John Caspall, Making Fire and Light in the Home pre-1820, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1987. See p221 for a very similar example. Lamps of this type were produced throughout Continental Europe, probably for mining use.
A Flemish bronze pricket candlestick, mid 16th century, the pricket and drip pan above a heavily knopped and inverted baluster cast stem, on a triform socle, the spreading triform base with ogee cast sides and three stylised feet, 37cm high. Literature: Cf. John Caspall, Making Fire and Light in the Home pre-1820, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1987, see figure 114, p69 for a closely related example.
A George II copper tinder box and candle holder, mid 18th century, the socket on a repousse decorated circular cover with a band of lozenges amongst punchwork, the sides and pierced handle with conforming motifs, 9cm high, 25cm long. Cf. John Caspall, Making Fire and Light in the Home pre-1820, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1987, pp20-23 for comparable examples.
An English or Dutch brass and bull’s-eye glass fitted hand lantern, late 17th/ early 18th century, with pierced pagoda top, the square section body with oval glass panes on three sides, the fourth decorated with repousse work fleurs-de-lys and with a serpentine handle, on four disc feet, 18cm high. Cf. John Caspall, Making Fire and Light in the Home pre-1820, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1987, p227, figure 509 for a similar example.
A Scottish wrought iron double valve crusie lamp, first half 18th century, the hanging hook with twisted shaft, the upper pan with twin scrolling finials, 37cm high overall, 19cm high excluding hook and bar. Comparative Literature: Cf. John Caspall, Making Fire and Light in the Home pre-1820, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1987. See pp 207-211 for comparable examples.
An English brass candlestick in the 15th century manner, early 18th century, with cylindrical socket on a slightly tapering stem, with spreading, circular base, 21cm high. Ronald Michaelis illustrates a very similar example as figure 170 on p116 of his work Old Domestic Base-Metal Candlesticks, (Antique Collectors’ Club, 1978). He points out in an earlier chapter covering candlesticks of the 14th-16th centuries that these differ from the early 18th century copies in that the shafts of the earlier models feature entasis, ie a slight swelling or tapering, whereas the later ones do not. Interestingly, the example in this lot does actually swell towards the base, although it cannot reasonably predate 1700.
Two similar bronze skillets, last quarter 17th century, both with integrally cast projecting handles and three short legs, 30 and 27.5cm long respectively. Cf. Rupert Gentle and Rachael Feild, Domestic Metalwork 1640-1820, Antique Collectors’ Club, 1994, see pp 244 and 245 for comparable examples.

A Charles I oak panel back armchair, circa 1630, the rectangular back with foliate carved toprail, central panel with a crest, flanked by carved guillouche motifs, downswept arms, turned uprights above a plank seat and plain frieze, on turned legs and square section feet united by stretchers. Provenance: These arms are believed to be those of Sir Richard Wilbraham of Woodhey, co. Chester (1579-1643) impaling those of his wife Grace, daughter of Sir John Savage of Rocksavage, Bart, and sister of Thomas, 1st Viscount Savage. The arms contain four quaterterings of the Wilbraham Coat and twelve for Savage.The Wilbraham-Savage marriage took place in or before 1601. Sir Richard Wilbraham was born in 1579, was knighted 4th September 1603, Sheriff of Cheshire 1615-16 and created a Baronet on 5th May 1621.He died in 1643, therefore the arms of the chair are likely to have been given between 1621-1643. This information is supplied by an accompanying letter from The College of Arms, Queen Victoria Street, London, 12th August 1926 and another from the same source, dated 12th February 1935. For an armchair of similar design dated to circa 1630, see Oak Furniture, The British Tradition, Victor Chinnery, Antique Collecter’ Club Ltd,1979 page 251, Figure 3:47.
* Dixon (Charles Edward, 1872-1934). Britannia sailing through Cowes Roads, with many yachts and other vessels dressed overall, 1933, monochrome watercolour, signed and dated in lower left-hand corner, 184 x 216mm (7.25 x 7.5ins), mounted, framed and glazed. With an interesting provenance described in a faint manuscript note on headed paper (browned and laid down): ‘At the close of the 1933 season, Sir Phillip Hunloke, the King’s Sailing Master, desired to present H.M. King George V with a large picture of Britannia sailing through Cowes Roads and commissioned Charles Dixon RA in the matter. The arrangement made was that Dixon should in the first instance paint a black and white sketch of the proposed picture on approval for His Majesty. This is the sketch in question and the interesting point is that it has been handled by H.M. King George V, Sir Phillip Hunloke and Charles Dixon, all of whom are now dead, purchased the sketch from Dixon, who was a great friend of mine, in 1934. Ainsworth Gilbert’. J. A. Gilbert, OBE, was Honorary Secretary of the Island Sailing Club from 1927-1934. Charles Dixon is recognised as one of the world’s most gifted maritime artists. He exhibited at the New Watercolour Society and the Royal Academy of Arts from 1889, and had works shown there most years until his death. His work is highly sought after today and can be found in many national museums, galleries, and private and corporate collections in the UK, North America and Australia. (1)
* Ruskin (John, 1819-1900, circle of). The Matterhorn from near Zermatt, pastel, black charcoal, and pencil, heightened with bodycolour, of the Matterhorn, with a cottage and figures in the foreground, including a peasant woman collecting water from a stream, indistinct pencilled initials to lower right-hand corner, 357 x 507mm (14 x 20ins), mounted, framed and glazed. Inscribed in manuscript on the verso of the frame: ‘Bought July 1956 of Mr. Telford of Grasmere who bought at the sale of effects at Brantwood pictures and sketches some by John Ruskin. J.A. Holland’. Ruskin’s affinity with Alpine scenery in general, and the Matterhorn in particular, is well documented. In one respect he was an Alpine pioneer, not as a climber, but as one who encouraged a widespread love and understanding of Alpine scenery. He was the first to draw the Matterhorn accurately, and apparently the first to photograph it too. When, in 1844, Ruskin made his first sketch of the majestic mountain which he then supposed to be the Matterhorn, it was some thirteen years before the founding of the Alpine Club in London, around thirteen years before any serious attempt was made to climb the Matterhorn, and twenty-one years before its summit was gained by Edward Whymper. Ruskin’s painstakingly precise, yet romantically atmospheric, images of the Matterhorn were to spawn a host of paintings of the great mountain amongst his circle, students and followers. (1)
