THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND WILLIAM IV SEAL SET SILVER-GILT CHARGER PAUL STORR, LONDON 1834 Of stylised octofoil outline, with embossed foliate scroll decoration throughout, set with nine various seals 34cm diameter, 35.5oz (gross weight) George Granville Leveson-Gower, 2nd Duke of Sutherland K.F. (1786-1892), thence by descent Christie's, London, 13th November 2018, lot 384, sold for £10,000 The Matrix Collection At one point, one of the wealthiest families in Great Britain, the marriage alliance of the Leveson-Gower family and the Sutherland family found its success in the landed nobility of the Sutherland family combined with the affluence of the Leveson-Gower family. This charger commemorates this union and the accomplishments of the family. Most likely commissioned by George Granville Leveson-Gower, the 2nd Duke of Sutherland (1786 – 1861), the date suggests that it was in memoriam of his father George Granville Leveson-Gower the first Duke of Sutherland (1758-1833). The Dukedom was only confirmed in 1833, months before the death of the first duke and would therefore be a celebration of this inauguration and achievement. Each seal acknowledges the important family members and the contribution to their rise. There are also marital arms recognising the marriage in 1785 between George Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Duke of Sutherland and Elizabeth Sutherland (1765- 1839), which fortified the union and created the dynasty still in existence to this day. The Leveson-Gower family had previously ascended politically, but it was the inheritance through a maternal uncle, Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater in 1803, that really propelled the family. The inheritance included the Bridgewater Canal and a major art collection. They also owned estates in Staffordshire, Yorkshire, and Shropshire which all contributed to their rising status in British society. The Sutherland family, on the other hand, had been admitted into the Scottish landed nobility since the 13th century. The family in the 18th century made their money from slave plantations in Jamaica but did not have the same magnitude of wealth as the Leveson-Gower family. When Elizabeth’s father, the 18th Earl (1735–1766) passed away, due to primogeniture, it was not guaranteed that Elizabeth would inherit but was only confirmed by the House of Lords in 1771. This confirmation made her an enticing match for the well-to-do Leveson-Gower who she married in 1785. Together, Elizabeth and George Granville known as Lord and Lady Stafford set about making Dunrobin in the Scottish Highlands a profitable estate and are most known for the controversial Highland clearances. Dunrobin is still the main seat of the family under the current 7th Duke. As one of the wealthiest families in the UK, it is unsurprising that they chose Paul Storr, deemed one of the most prolific and successful British silversmiths for the commission of this family relic. At a time that has often been considered the period that saw the greatest demand in the production and trading of silver wares, Storr always ensured that exceptional craftsmanship was maintained at the highest level.Following Storr’s early personal success, the company 'Rundell Bridge and Rundell' (who had been appointed Jewellers, Goldsmiths and Silversmiths to the Crown, and had also attained the Royal Warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales and The Duke of York) scouted Storr and he joined the company in 1807.Due to the volume of production at Rundell Bridge and Rundell, Storr’s role became almost supervisory, interacting with the existing staff to convey his work practices. A plate bearing Storr’s mark may not have been worked by his hands, but the hallmark was his and acted as a guarantee of the quality.Perhaps due to the lack of opportunity to be 'hands-on', in 1819 Storr opened his own shop, and in 1822, formed the company Storr & Mortimer.From working directly with prestigious companies with royal warrants to personal commissions, Paul Storr is remembered for fine examples of masterful craftsmanship predominantly in the Neo-Classical design. It is interesting to note that this charger does not immediately appear in any of the annals of Paul Storr and is clear to see that it is a bespoke commission from the family. A true one-off piece for both the family and the silversmith. HeraldryThe arms on the central seal are those of Leveson impaling Granville and on the obverse Leveson quartering Gower, Gower of Stanesby and another, all impaling Granville, for William Leveson-Gower, later 4th Bt. (d.1691) and his wife Lady Mary Granville (1653-1696), daughter of John, 1st Earl of Bath (1628-1701), whom she married in 1668.William was born with the family name Gower, but changed it to Leveson-Gower on succeeding to the estates of his great uncle Sir Richard Leveson Kt. (1598–1661), of Trentham. The quarterings and the absence of the baronet's badge dates the seals to between 1661, and 1689, when William became the 4th baronet on the death of his elder brother's son, Sir Thomas Gower 3rd Bt.The further seals in clockwise order from one o'clock:1) Gower quartering Leveson within the Garter motto and beneath a duke's coronet for a Duke of Sutherland, on carnelian matrix.2) Gower quartering Leveson beneath an earl's coronet with Sutherland in pretence beneath a countess' coronet, for George Granville Leveson-Gower, as Earl Gower, later created 1st Duke of Sutherland (1758-1833) and his wife Elizabeth (1765-1839), Countess of Sutherland in her own right, daughter and heir of William, 18th Earl of Sutherland (1735-1766), whom he married in 1785, on silver-gilt matrix,3) Gower quartering Leveson impaling Egerton with viscount's coronet above, for Granville Leveson-Gower as Viscount Trentham of Trentham, later 2nd Earl Gower and 1st Marquess of Stafford (1721-1803) and his second wife Lady Louisa Egerton (1723-1761), daughter and eventual co-heir of Scroop Egerton, 1st Duke of Bridgewater (1681-1744), on carnelian matrix.4) Gower quartering Leveson beneath a duke's coronet with Sutherland in pretence beneath a countess' coronet, for George Granville Leveson-Gower, as 1st Duke of Sutherland (1758-1833) and his wife Elizabeth (1765-1839), Countess of Sutherland in her own right, daughter and heir of William, 18th Earl of Sutherland (1735-1766), whom he married in 1785, on carnelian matrix.5) Gower quartering Leveson beneath an earl's coronet with Sutherland in pretence beneath a countess' coronet, for George Granville Leveson-Gower, as Earl Gower, later created 1st Duke of Sutherland (1758-1833) and his wife Elizabeth (1765-1839), Countess of Sutherland in her own right, daughter and heir of William, 18th Earl of Sutherland (1735-1766), whom he married in 1785, on bloodstone matrix.6) Gower quartering Leveson beneath a marquess' coronet with Sutherland in pretence beneath a countess' coronet, for George Granville Leveson-Gower, as 2nd Marquess of Stafford, later created 1st Duke of Sutherland (1758-1833) and his wife Elizabeth (1765-1839), Countess of Sutherland in her own right, daughter and heir of William, 18th Earl of Sutherland (1735-1766), whom he married in 1785, on milky chalcedony matrix.7) Gower quartering Leveson beneath a marquess' coronet within the motto of the Order of the Garter, for either Granville Leveson-Gower, 1st Marquess of Stafford (1721-1803), or his son George Granville Leveson-Gower, as 2nd Marquess of Stafford, later created 1st Duke of Sutherland (1758-1833), on carnelian matrix.8) Gower quartering Leveson with viscount's coronet above, for Granville Leveson-Gower as Viscount Trentham of Trentham, later 2nd Earl Gower and 1st Marquess of Stafford (1721-1803), on gold matrix.

The club met twice a year on Candlemas and St. Andrew's Day where members dined in their green silk sashes and wore their medals.

GLASGOW - A RARE SET OF SIX SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL TREFID SPOONS GEORGE LUKE CIRCA 1686 each with a trefid terminal, the reverse engraved with initials 'M/ R S/ A C', the reverse of bowl with moulded ribbed rat tail 20cm long, 11oz By descent The current vendor believes that the spoons were acquired when the Reverend Robert Stewart married Anne Campbell from Edramuckie This remarkable set of six Trefid spoons are not only amongst the earliest Glasgow made spoons recorded but also appear to be the only extant work by George Luke. Bearing the pseudo date letter F, which had only been conjecture in Jackson’s Silver & Gold Marks, is here illustrated for the first time. This unofficial but apparently closely followed pseudo cycle would therefore place these spoons manufacture to 1686 only six years after George Luke is admitted a Freemen. This likely date is further backed by family provenance to the married of the original owners in 1683.Little is known about George Luke but it seems safe to assume he was a family member, perhaps brother (?), to John Luke I who is mentioned c1670. Therefore, placing him as one of the earliest members of this long and illustrious Glasgow goldsmithing family.George Luke is first admitted as a Freeman of the Hammermen of Glasgow 14th September 1680. He is recorded taking one apprentice, William Hodgert in 1684 by whom only a single quaich now within the Burrell Collection (43.103) is known to survive.Why work by George Luke should be so rare compared to his contemporary makers and indeed family is unclear. It is tempting to think he worked under / closely with John Luke in his likely large workshop but this cannot be proven. Not only are these spoons remarkable in their survival from Glasgow but that until now they have been in the same direct family lineage. The engraved initials must date these spoons to 1683 or after upon the marriage of Reverend Robert Stewart and Anna Campbell of Edramuckie.Robert was the youngest son of James Stewart of Wester Clunie and was born 1st May 1650. He was educated in holy orders at St. Leonards College St Andrews gaining is MA on 23rd July 1672. By 1679 he was given the Parish of Killin, a post he would hold until his death in 1727.Although a man of the church it seems that his career was not without controversy and perhaps some financial irregularities. It is recorded that within his parish after he was installed by Rev Alexander Comrie that ‘he neither kept register or scrolls, and monopolised all the dues payable to the Clerk, Bedal and Poor Box, all the time he stayed there’ these registers being a duty he was bound to keep. The fortune he appears to have amassed, some no doubt spent on silver, was enough to buy large estates for each of his four sons. His family estates now extended within Strathay to Killiechassie, Blackhill and Cluny, Cloichfoldich and Derculich.Rev Stewart married on 23rd January 1683 Anna Campbell of Edramuckie. Robert died in March 1729 leaving his estate to is wife (who would later re marry and survive him less than a year) and left provision for a Chapel to be built in Killiechassie his honour his body interred there to the amount of 500 merks. Although a man with, perhaps, dubious financial dealings to the detriment of the local economy and church Robert Stewart was remembered fondly within his family. In 1879 it was written of him ‘He was a man of great prudence, force, and decision of character, commanding in consequence the greatest respect throughout the district, and being also of more than average height and strength, was in every way a most worthy representative of his race. Indeed, amongst many family traditions still handed down respecting him, it is said that in the more tumultuous periods of his ministry he frequently conducted service with his broadsword by his side, ready for any emergency. This precaution would seem to have been highly needful, for on one occasion, when proceeding to perform the service in Strathfillan, the western part of his parish, he was suddenly attacked by M’Gregor, a noted freebooter of that powerful clan. After a short but exceedingly fierce struggle, the worthy ecclesiastic as usual prevailed, and caused M’Gregor to “lick the dust,” warning him in future to measure his man before he made his attack’

GLASGOW - A RARE SCOTTISH PROVINCIAL TABLESPOON ROBERT GILCHRIST of Hanoverian pattern, rat-tail bowl, engraved italic initials to reverse of terminal 20cm long, 2.3oz This spoon would appear to be one of as few as four surviving pieces of silver by Robert Gilchrist of Glasgow. Trained by William Clerk he is first mentioned in 1719. Little is known about his career which is a mystery as he was trained by, arguably, the finest goldsmith in Glasgow at the time but does not appear to have made much impact. It seems likely that while working on his own, shown by the survival of his maker's mark, he was mainly working for other makers. This spoon along with two quaichs (one in a Private Collection the other within the collection of Dundee Art Galleries and Museums) and a hash spoon (Lot 360) last sold by Bonhams Edinburgh ‘The Scottish Sale’ 21st August 2003 lot 73 are his only recorded works.
