Lot 97
A 19th century French chestnut and parquetry armoire, twin doors and chequer band decoration, 212cm high, 142cm wide, 59cm deep. Condition Report: Colour is slightly less red than main image- colour has bleached as per age and sunlight This armoire has been partially constructed for purposes of photography using old French pen and ink paper instructions taped to inside. The back and baseboards were not built in and it is difficult to gauge whether all parts are present the overall piece seems mostly structurally sound but with the typical carcase movement and shrinkage that you see in these types of case furniture. This tends to mean that the piece will stand mostly straight but almost certainly will require further remedial work to shore up back, seat frame and overall frame to ensure complete stability. Signs of old worm- and replacement metalwork and repairs to elements such as flap on door Condition Report Disclaimer

A two door glazed beech cabinet, enclosing shelves, height 100cm, width 85cm, depth 26cm.Provenance: From the Estates of June Barrington Ward & Maggie Cameron Fraser‘Two Remarkable Ladies’June Barrington-Ward 1922-2002& Maggie Cameron Fraser 1923-2021 For 40 years, two remarkable ladies lived contentedly in the remote farmhouse near Lanreath in Cornwall that they had restored and shared since the 1970s.June Barrington-Ward was a sculptor. She trained at Chelsea School of Art and exhibited widely during the 1960s & 70s. Her work featured in group shows in prestigious galleries and locations like the Royal Academy alongside artists such as Denis Mitchell, John Milne & Kim Lim. June was the daughter of Lancelot Barrington-Ward KCVO, a royal surgeon to King George VI and his family. He also played rugby for England. Her grandfather was the vicar of Duloe in Cornwall. Although her work was applauded by contemporary critics, she never pursued recognition. In the words of a family member “she didn’t seek fame and I believe she was simply happy to be left alone to make things.”We have over 30 pieces of June’s impressive sculpture in the art section of this sale.Maggie Cameron Fraser was an academic who specialised in antique glass, a subject on which she wrote extensively and lectured at the Victoria & Albert Museum. Some of the very fine pieces in this sale were part of her treasured collection.They met during the Second World War. June, in the WRNS, drove ambulances in London and Maggie worked at Bletchley Park. For many years they shared a large property in Chiswick with a studio, until making the move to Cornwall.Maggie bought their magical house in Castlemawgan from the Carlyon Family in 1978. After renovating their home, they settled happily into retirement, Maggie astutely playing the stock market and June continuing to create sculpture. June died in 2002 and Maggie followed her last year.The home they left, and their wonderful collection of art and antiques, stand as a celebration and testament to their happy life together.

A Regency brass and cast iron door porter, with scrolled top and fluted half round base, height 42cm.Provenance:Alan Bennett (1930-2021) was an enormously respected, Cornwall-based antiques dealer.Alan Bennett started working in the antiques trade in the early 1950s for Parker’s of Blackheath before joining Harrod's Antiques Department. He moved to Cornwall in 1954 and opened his own shop, gradually expanding and offering one of the largest selections of antiques in Cornwall. He was assisted in the business by his wife Winifred, son Justin, and a team of restorers. He retired in April 2007.He was a man of refined manners, always impeccably dressed and he bought pretty, elegant things across the board, Dresden china and pierced silver Bon-Bon baskets but also brightly coloured Staffordshire figures, although it was the furniture that really fed his passion and he specialised in good quality Georgian and later furniture.David Lay reminiscences: "He would sit in the front row bidding with awesome discretion. Nothing as vulgar as a nod or wink. His demeanour told me he was bidding but of course, I knew his taste. I knew when he “should” be bidding. Often Winifred would view with Alan, the perfect couple.Happy memories of a different age. "Through his 50 years in the trade, he amassed an eclectic collection of very good quality art and antiques, many of which we are delighted to be offering here at Lays Auctions across various sales.
