Sir Alfred Gilbert, A.R.A., R.A., M.V.O (British, 1854-1934): A rare and probably unique patinated and parcel gilt bronze 'double size' figure of St Georgeordered by John Charles Williams of Werrington Park, Launceston, Cornwall directly from the sculptor and probably cast by Broad & Son, circa 1895-6the figure with helmeted downcast head modelled in contrapposto and clad in elaborate armour with shell cast pauldrons and winged poleyns, one arm raised and with a slightly turned hand, the other arm down and outstretched, his straight sword with a corpus crucifix to the hilt (now lacking finial), on swirling base, raised on an ebonised shallow square plinth, the figure, 88cm high, 93cm high overall including wood plinth base Footnotes:ProvenanceJohn Charles (J.C.) Williams (1861-1939), Werrington Park, Launceston, Cornwall.Ordered by J.C. Williams in 1895 as apparently the first part of a commission for four double size figure replicas, St George being the first figure representing England, the others as the second part of the commission being saints representing Ireland, Scotland & Wales (these three figures apparently never realised).Thence by descent.John Charles Williams (1861-1939) of Caerhays Castle, St Austell, Cornwall was an English Liberal Unionist politician, collector and keen horticulturalist, noted for his philanthropic interests in botany.Affectionately known as 'J.C.', he was the second son of the miner, landowner and banker John Michael Williams (1813-1880) and Elisabeth Maria (d. 1884), of Caerhays Castle and was educated at Rugby School and at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. The Williams family of Caerhays, Burncoose and Scorrier were prominent owners of mines and smelting works for several generations during the Cornish Industrial Revolution. In 1882 'J.C.' Williams acquired the estate of Werrington, an 18th century house with earlier origins (then in Devon, but since 1974 in Cornwall) as his home and set about furnishing with furniture and artworks, some possibly from an earlier dispersal sale of the original contents but the majority acquired himself from other sources following the fashions of the day. His own wealth combined with the fact that his elder brother Michael Williams took over running the family's business interests meant that he was able to devote time to collecting including amassing three major noted mineral collections and in particular his interests in breeding rhododendrons, camellias and daffodils amongst other plants. He married Mary Christian Williams (1861-1922), the second daughter of Sir Frederick Martin Williams, second baronet of Tregullow in 1884 and in that same year he returned to live at Caerhays Castle when his mother died. However, he remained Squire of Werrington Park even when he returned to his ancestral home as he reputedly enjoyed the good hunting on the Werrington estate and as such it is recorded that the he and his family lived partly at Caerhays and partly at Werrington in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Elected at the 1892 general election as the MP for Truro, he held the seat until he stood down at the 1895 general election and was also High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1888, and Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall from 1918–36.During the Great War Werrington was turned over to the Red Cross becoming Auxiliary Home Hospital Werrington and accepting injured troops from the frontlines in France and Belgium. Mrs Williams is recorded as being 'Officer in Charge and Organising Secretary' and the hospital treated 1128 patients between January 1915 and March 1919.John Charles and Mary Christian Williams had five sons and one daughter: The Honourable Charles Williams of Caerhays Castle, Conservative MP for Tavistock 1918-1922 and Torquay 1924-1955.John Francis Williams, killed in 1916 serving as Sub-Lieutenant of the St. George flotilla on the 'HMS Russell'.Alfred Martin Williams, CBE, Conservative MP for North Cornwall 1924-29.Robert Williams, killed in 1915 serving as Second Lieutenant of the 1st Guards Brigade, 2nd Battalion of the Grenadier Guards at the Battle of Loos.Peter Michael Williams, known as 'PM', High Sheriff of Cornwall, 1952.May Williams, who nursed her father after her mother's death. Alfred Gilbert's St George and The Duke of Clarence MemorialAlfred Gilberts depiction of St George can perhaps be described as the emblematic zenith of the New Sculpture movement. However its conception and realisation on what was perhaps Gilberts most prestigious commission of the his career, that of the tomb of the The Duke of Clarence in the Albert Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle was also the cause of much controversy.Ten years previously however, Gilberts accent to the position of England's premier sculptor had seemed a natural and inevitable progression following the death of his former master and sculptor to the Royal family, Joseph Edgar Boehm in 1890. His success was subsequently sealed with the most prestigious commission of the day from the bereaved Prince and Princess of Wales to design a tomb for their eldest son, Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale who had tragically died from influenza on the 14th January 1892. Summoned three days after the funeral to discuss plans with the royal couple, Gilbert's preliminary sketch for the tomb of her grandson was approved by Queen Victorian on the 6th March 1892.Although the finished tomb itself was a tour de force of the sculptors art incorporating an effigy of the recumbent Prince in his Hussar uniform beneath the figure of a kneeling angel holding a heavenly crown realised in bronze, brass, aluminium and white & coloured marble, it was the extraordinary hybrid Gothic and late Victorian surrounding grill designed to pay homage to the tombs of Cardinal Wolsey / Henry VIII that led to the inception of the figure of St George.After seeing a monograph of the Wolsey / Henry VIII tomb prepared by the scholar Alfred Higgins and also seeing its inspiration which was the earlier tomb of Henry VII, Gilbert decided to emulate the use of such similar grills to these tombs incorporating twelve polychrome niche figures of saints into a fantastically elaborate design. The royal family were then consulted as to which saints should be represented. These were in order around the tomb, St George, The Virgin, St Elizabeth of Hungary, St Michael, St Margaret, St Patrick, St Catherine of Siena, St Edward the Confessor, St Hubert of Liege, St Ethelreda of Ely, St Nicholas of Myra and St Catherine of Egypt. Of these saints, St George is undoubtedly the most famous and was the first to be cast. Epitomizing the last traces of Pre-Raphaelitism merging into Art Nouveau but perhaps also idiosyncratically paying homage to the armour of French and German medieval tomb figures rather than those of the Italian Renaissance, the warrior saint is depicted as a sinuous long limbed effete youth clad in fantastical separately cast armour incorporating swirling shell motifs. The first figure of St George, cast in 'white metal' by George Broad & Son with carved ivory hands and face, was presented to the Prince and Princess of Wales. Delivered to Sandringham in November 1895 and intended as a private 'household' memorial to the Duke of Clarence it was subsequently installed in the Church of St Mary Magdalene at Sandringham.The second figure of St George, cast in aluminium, again by George Broad & Son with carved ivory hands and face was the model that was installed at the tomb. As the first of the twelve saints surrounding the tomb to be cast, it was unveiled by Queen Victoria and positioned in its niche in July 1898. Nevertheless at that moment in time, five figures of saints were still missing and it was not until 1928 that the tomb was actually finally completed, thirty six years after the o...
