Mary Thew (1876-1953). An Arts & Crafts Scottish silver opal, emerald and blue agate clip brooch, attributed to Mary Thew, of triangular form with bezel set cabochon opals and blue agates, and mixed cut emeralds, within wirework, bead and foliate surround, to clip, unmarked, length 5.5cm Provenance: a private London collection Mary Thew, born in Hillhead, Glasgow in 1876 was a Scottish arts and crafts jeweller. She spent a short amount of time studying at Glasgow School of Arts, before marrying her husband James Mursell Thew in 1903. James Thew was an engineer who enjoyed silversmithing, making pieces for his wife. Through this, Mary fostered her own interest in the craft, making her own designs. After only a few years of marriage, however, James died. Left with a young son to care for, Mary turned her hobby into a professional career. She took a short course of four lessons with renowned Arts and Crafts Jewellery Rhoda Wager. From 1911 Thew was a member of the Glasgow School of Lady Artists, and won the Society's Lauder Award for a case of jewellery in 1925. Thew also became a member of the "Green Gate Close Coterie" having befriended Jessie M. King and her husband E. A. Taylor whilst attending the Glasgow School of Art together. The coterie was a group of artists and artisans who came to live year round or for part of the year in Kircudbright, where King and Taylor had settled after returning from Paris. Records from a 1939 newspaper article by Muirhead Moffat show that she produced a large breadth of objects in her career, from brooches and necklaces to butter-forks and crosses. Her works are more often unsigned than not, but a select amount bears her maker's signature of a dotted T. Travelling to Fiji, and beyond to Australia in 1913, her unique style of free-flowing silver wire with trails and beads is inspired by the foreign jewellery she encountered on her travels. A brooch by Thew in this style is held in the Victoria & Albert museum collections. Literature cf.

A rare A A Milne letter, mentioning Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger, 1931, ‘COTCHFORD FARM, HARTFIELD, SUSSEX. 19.8.31. Dear Peggy, Thank you so much for the tea-cosy and the pretty box. I couldn’t think what it was when I opened it, because it wasn’t my birthday. We are here for the holidays, but I think that you went to 13 Mallord Street, Chelsea and range the bell, and asked my housekeeper (supposing she didn’t happen to be out) if you and your brother might see Pooh and Eeyore and Tigger and all the rest of them, and if you happened to say that you had had a letter from me saying you might do this, then perhaps she would take you up into what used to be Christopher Robin’s nursery and show them to you. That is, if you would like to see them. And now thank you again very for my present. It was a very nice one. Yours A.A. Milne’, single sided —7 ½in. (19cm.) x 5 ½in.
