A Delabole slate fireplace, 1946, by Naum Gabo (1890-1977), height 102cm, width 137.5cm. Mantle shelf, 137.5 x 20.5cm, depth 3.5cm. The following extract is from 'Constructing Modernity, The Art & Career of Naum Gabo' by Christina Lodder & Martin Hammer, reproduced here by kind permission of the authors: Gabo did see one functional design actually executed while he was in Cornwall. In 1946 he produced two identical fireplaces for the house of Mr Ince in Redruth. Gabo had met Ince, the chief obstetrician for Cornwall, through Jane Lowenstein, a friend of Mrs Ince and Miriam Gabo. The commission seems to have come from Mrs Ince who was interested in art. The fireplaces were produced for the family's new home; grey slate for the drawing room and brown for the dining room. Only the former has survived, although not in its original location. Gabo and Ince visited the Polyphant Quarries at Delabole near Tintagel together to choose the stones. The mantelpiece on the extant fireplace consists of one piece of unpolished polyphant stone, three slabs of which also form the hearth, while the bulk of the structure is built up of small pieces of slate, the selection and cutting of which Gabo apparently supervised. His initial design was for a surround completely flush with the wall, but Mrs Ince insisted on having a mantel shelf. The surround curves inwards towards the opening, which is recessed by approximately 4" at the centre, and in this respect the conception is the opposite of a conventional fireplace structure built out into the room. The design is simple and graceful. The small variations in colour and marking on the slates animate the curved surface, while the darker stone of the shelf and hearth highlights the curve and tonal graduations of the surround. Note: Russian-born Gabo was one of the most important and influential figures in Russia's post-revolution avant-garde, the development of modernism in St Ives and arguably, in twentieth century sculpture. This was one of two fireplaces by Gabo commissioned by the Inces. The other, in brown slate has been destroyed. This remaining piece is an intriguing and unique work and it illustrates the way in which the St Ives artists sought to bring their art into everyday life. Gabo emigrated to the United States in 1946 so this would have been amongst the last of his works created in Cornwall. Condition report: Some smoke discolouration above opening, bottom left and bottom right have slight damage/imperfections, Fireplace has been removed as one piece and is crated. Integrity is good. Mantle shelf is separate piece and crated. Also comes with its 3 original hearth slates.

A 'pair' of heavy gilt bronze fire dogs modelled as lions triumphant, c. 1840-50, each figure holding a scroll inscribed with the the Earl of Shrewsbury's family armorial motto 'Prest d'Accomplir' height 19in.Provenance: Commissioned by John Talbot, 16th Earl of Shrewsbury, 16th Earl of Waterford (1791–1852) from A.W.N. Pugin for Alton Towers, Staffordshire. In 1831, the Talbots' principal residence in Heythrop burned down. The 16th earl then came to live at Alton permanently, employing the renowned gothic revival architect Augustus Pugin to design a new entrance hall, banqueting hall and various other rooms, renaming the property Alton Towers. A surviving stone fireplace, designed by Pugin, in the Dining Hall of Alton Towers is carved with a triumphant and lion and the motto 'Prest d'Accomplir' in identical Gothicised script to these firedogs.In November 1918 the 20th Earl of Shrewsbury decided to sell off the majority of the Alton Towers estate and contents by auction.

Julian Russell Story (American, 1857-1919) Portrait of the Duke de Moro (d.1921) standing, full length, in Court dress before a fireplace, a small dog at his side signed lower right "Julian Story 1889" and inscribed along the top edge "Moro Phillips Long House" and charged with his coat-of-arms and crest issuing from a Ducal coronet" oil on canvas 203 x 115cm (79 x 45in) Provenance: Bequeathed by the sitter to the grandparents of the present owner Exhibited: London, Royal Academy, 1890, 'Moro Phillips, Esq.', Gallery 1, Number 44 Other Notes: Julian Story was an English-born American painter, the son of the American neoclassical sculptor and poet, William Wetmore Story. He spent much of his time abroad, growing up in Rome but pursuing his education at Eton and Brasenose College, Oxford. Upon his graduation in 1879, Story went on to train under the American artist, Frank Duveneck, in Venice. He later moved to Paris, where he studied under Henri Gervex at the Académie Julien. He was well acquainted with John Singer Sargent, an influence which is evident in his brushwork. Travelling throughout his life, he exhibited his award-winning works in Paris, Berlin, San Francisco and Chicago. He painted genre and history paintings, however, he was most sought after as a portraitist by many celebrity clients, including King Edward VII. Following his marriage to the American opera singer Emma Eames, he settled in Philadelphia in 1902. Sakrovolaski Phillippi Moro who was born circa 1812, took part in the Polish revolt against the Russian annexation of their country and then went in to exile, eventually settling in the United States. From an ancient and aristocratic Polish family (who it is believed accompanied Bona Sforza, the sister in law of Lodovico Il Moro, Duke of Milan when she married King Sigismund I of Poland in 1518, remaining there after her death) he is said to have married a Mexican heiress and after her death, with her money, he helped found the city of Galveston in Texas, where he constructed its first substantial building that became known as Phillips Castle. Later he moved to Philadelphia where he increased his already vast fortune through the manufacture of chemical fertilisers, mining and real estate, some of it in Canada. At his death in 1885 his eldest son - the sitter in the present painting - defied his father's wishes and removed his inheritance (allegedly some $15 million) to Europe where he re-assumed the title of Duke Moro of Moro which had supposedly been granted to a forbear in the 16th century. The Duke ended his days in Chichester, dying in 1921 when his nearest male relative rejected inheriting the Dukedom by refusing to give up his American citizenship and move to Europe. The Duke's fortune and property, including this portrait, therefore, went instead to the English grandfather of the present owner of the painting, whom he had effectively adopted. The American blood family however contested the will and went to court and successfully reclaimed the fortune but not the Duke's chattels. The Moro ducal crest which appears in the top left corner of the portrait, is according to Fairbairn ( Book of Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland, illustration 73 of Plate 35 and page 102) on page 444, 'out of a ducal coronet a bear's gamb holding a black mulberry ' (mora & moro is Italian for mulberry). Oil on canvas which is unlined. The canvas tension is slightly slack and stretcher bar marks have formed, notably across the centre of the painting. The paint layer is ain a good, stable condition. There are some age cracks. The varnish is yellowed and dull with age. There is some wear and abrasion to the surface of the gilding.
