Lot 278
A RARE PAIR OF STONE TOMB FIGURES OR 'KNEELERS' EARLY 17TH CENTURY The figures, possibly husband and wife- or brother and sister, depicted kneeling on cushions, hands clasped in prayer, she with stepped hat and ruff, he bearded and wearing clerical or scholar's gown, soft oolitic style stone larger 52cm high, 19.5cm wide Provenance: Truro Auction Rooms, Cornwall, where purchased by A. Tilbrook, and from whom purchased by Robert Kime.The tradition of 'kneelers' in England is derived from the Burgundian tradition of 'Pleurants' or 'Weepers'. In the 13th century these tended to be flat relief figures- placed within the framework of canopied tombs. By the mid-15th century they were had become freestanding, sculpted forms, usually rendered in stone unlike the French bronze examples. Sculpted in alabaster, marble and limestone, they often represent the surviving family and children, praying for the departed. Vandalism and neglect has led to many of the tombs being damaged or destroyed, and figures have been detached from their original context making identification of the specific people now impossible. An exception to this is the large pair of carved stone figures of John and Christabel Michell, recently restituted to St Mary's Aisle in Truro Cathedral. Dating from around from 1620, they are a good example of Cornish freestanding kneeler figures. Also of comparable date is the tomb to William Sacheverell (died 1616) and his wife, Tabitha in St. George's Church, Barton in Fabis Nottinghamshire. Her dress, rendered in alabaster, shows close similarities to this lot. Originally as with other early carved stone figures, these two kneelers may have been richly painted and decorated, as the surviving tomb of Margaret Cleyton with her two husbands and 12 children in the Priory Church of St Mary, Chepstow illustrates.
