Lot 103
A Victorian soup tureen, liner and cover The Barnards, London 1845, of baluster bombe form, applied cast acanthus, floral and C-scroll decoration throughout, with a centrally applied marital Armorials of Campbell and Bannerman, the scroll handles with applied similar decoration, raised on four foliate bold scroll feet, the pull-off lid with an interlooped handle numbered 2, with a plain liner, loop handles(Height: 35cm, weight: 201.8oz)Footnote: Heraldry Arms: (on the dexter) Quarterly 1st and 4th Gyronny of eight or and sable (for Campbell) 2nd and 3rd Argent a lymphad her sails furled and oars in action all sable flag and pennants flying gules (for Lorn) (on the sinister) Gules a banner displayed bendwise argent thereon a canton azure charged with a St Andrew’s Cross of the second (for Bannerman) Crest: A boar’s head couped or (for Campbell) Motto: Ne oblivis caris [Do not forget] (for Campbell) At the time of the manufacture of this tureen, Sir James bore these arms without authority, the arms being those of Campbell, Duke of Argyll. In order to correct this heraldic anomaly, he matriculated arms twice at the Court of the Lord Lyon, firstly on the 2nd September 1859 [Lyon Register – Volume 6, folio 15] and secondly on the 5th January 1869 [Lyon Register – Volume 8, folio 18]. Both these matriculations recognised Sir James in the territorial designation of ‘Campbell of Stracathro’. Note: The Victorian era epitomised social mobility. The wealth rapidly generated by individuals created new personal legacies and this was displayed through their charitable donations as well as their domestic settings, which were most often on a grandiose scale. The scale of this soup tureen in what would have been the latest fashion is a clear demonstration of success and wealth. The owner, Sir James Campbell was born into humble origins in 1790, but elevated his status as rose through the social ranks in classic Victorian fashion. Having been apprenticed to McLachlan & McKeand, who managed warehouse facilities in Glasgow, Campbell learnt his craft quickly and at the age of 20 started a clothier business with Matthew Paterson. Eventually, with his brothers, they formed J & W Campbell & co. which also retailed in drapery and dry goods. The success of his business ventures led to the post of Lord Provost of the City of Glasgow between 1840-43. He settled in Glasgow first at Kelvinside House, and then at Bath Street with his wife, who he married in 1822, where they had six children. Campbell’s investments in his work and personal life led to him becoming a well-respected member of society and his efforts were rewarded in 1843 when he was invited to St. James’s Palace to receive the accolade Knight Bachelor from Queen Victoria. In the space of one generation, the Campbell family had elevated their social status and this continued even further with the next generation; Campbell’s second son born 1836, Henry Campbell- Bannerman, became the First Lord of the treasury and Prime Minister of the Liberal Party in 1899-1905. In order to showcase newfound success overt displays of wealth were fashionable and what better way to do so than choose one of the most established silversmiths in London. The Barnard’s would become one of the great dynasties of British silver, able to trace their roots back to 1680 with Anthony Nelme, some of the most prominent silversmiths have been linked to the business over the years including Thomas Whipham, Thomas Chawner and the Emes silver dynasty. By 1910 the firm was converted into a limited liability company and in 1977 became a subsidiary of Padgett & Braham Ltd. (Pg29 The Directory & Silversmiths… John Culme’). Famous for reproducing iconic museum specimens such as The Warwick vase, the copy itself is now in the collections of the Victoria & Albert (2013,8016.1.a-b), the company was able to attract wealthy clients with their pre-manufactured wares, which in turn led to bespoke commissions. Pre-made casts and dies form part of the comprehensive archive which also includes corporate, financial and staff records; purchase, order, letter, stock and pattern books, all of which can now be found in the Victoria & Albert archives (reference: AAD5-1988, AAD7-1989.) While the Barnards produced a wide range of silver from small christening cups, table and tea wares their real skill can best be seen with the commissions requested from their clients. Their relationship with their clients can clearly be seen in their attention to detail, Lot 469 from The Ballyedmond Collection at Sotheby’s auction house on the 23rd May 2017, ‘A Soup Tureen of 1827’ has an impressive horse finial, achieving £7500 and lot 87 from a Bonham’s Silver auction on the 12th November 2014, A pair of Tureens with the finials modelled as wheatsheaves, plough harrow, barrow and a basket which made £31,250, indicate individual commissions with specific requests. By the time of the production of this soup tureen the firm had settled at Angel Street, St. Martin’s-le-Grand, right in the City of London off Cheapside. With members of staff skilled at casting, engraving and forging, the factory would have been a hive of activity. A personalised aspect of the tureen is the armorial fashioned by John Campbell it directly mirrors that of the Duke of Argyll. At the time of the manufacture of this tureen, Campbell bore these arms without authority, the arms being those of Campbell, Duke of Argyll. In order to correct this heraldic anomaly, he matriculated arms twice at the Court of the Lord Lyon, firstly on the 2nd September 1859 [Lyon Register – Volume 6, folio 15] and secondly on the 5th January 1869 [Lyon Register – Volume 8, folio 18]. Both these matriculations recognised Sir James in the territorial designation of ‘Campbell of Stracathro’. Campbell’s aspirations were never out of reach and two years after the commission of the tureens in 1847 the Campbell’s moved to an impressive estate in Stracathro. "Country Houses of Scotland," by John Connachan-Holmes, describes Stracathro "amongst the first rank of neo-classical architecture" and would have been a fitting home for such an impressive piece of silverware.

Lot 9
A pair of late 19th-Century Austrian twin handled vegetable tureens, liners and covers Josef Carl Klinkosch, Vienna, circa 1880, each of octagonal form, applied borders, the tureen with an embossed cartouche depicting Classical scenes including, Apollo, Centaur among others, the scroll handles with rose detail, each with octagonal insert, to a circular foot with foliate detail, the lid with foliate border, with figural mushroom and pumpkin finial and applied monogram in a mythical fashion(Width: 24cm)Footnote: Note: Regarded as one of the finest Austrian silversmiths of the late 19th century, Josef Carl Klinkosch’s clients included members of the bourgeoisie and high society. The company 'Klinkosch' survived from the early 19th-Century to the late 20th Century under various guises. Producing fine silverware and jewellery, their success was at the very pinnacle of Austrian society, receiving their Royal Warrant to Franz Josef of Austria in 1855 and prior to that Court silversmith from 1837. Learning his craft from his father, like his father before him, it wasn’t until 1851 that Joseph, (the third generation) ascended to the managing role. Within this time, a partnership with Mayerhofer, another court silversmith, had developed and helped publicise their work. Klinkosch were key participants at the Viennese World Exhibition of 1873 and the Parisian Exposition Universelle in 1878 where the firm won both silver and gold medals under the supervision of Joseph Carl. It is clear to see his attention to detail and stylistic designs were a driving force to their success. Intricate details such as pumpkin and mushroom finials seen in these vegetable tureens exemplify this beautifully. It is interesting to see how the silversmith and perhaps the client went to such lengths to tie in the utility of the piece to its design. Each panel is unique in its depiction of a Classical hero or allegory, another example of the care and thought taken in producing this piece. In 1869, Klinkosch became the sole owner, and the company was renamed JC Klinkosch and it is for this reason we can date the tureens to the latter part of the 19th-Century. His skill and fame then led to him being made a knight of the realm in Austria in 1879. Indeed, today pieces by Mayerhofer and Klinkosch form part of the Austrian Royal collection and are still used for Austrian state banquets today. Like his father before him, he was able to pass his company and legacy on to his two sons and use his leisure time to indulge in a private art collection. Following another change of ownership, the company finally dissolved in the 1970s but it is pieces from the late 19th-Century that are sought after at auction today. In 2016, Christie’s offered ‘An Austrian Silver Jardiniere And Mirror-Plateau, Vienna, Circa 1890’ which achieved £12,500.
