The 'Worshipful Company of Stationers' silver-gilt and enamel table centrepieceWilliam Hutton & Sons, Sheffield 1924Depicting the polychrome enamelled coat of arms of the 'Worshipful Company of Stationers', flanked by two classical angel supporters blowing their trumpets triumphantly, both standing on a pierced scrolling foliate back-plate, the Company's motto enamelled in Latin beneath, two scroll panels reading 'VERBUM DOMINI MANET, the third panel 'IN AETERNUM' is missing, all raised on an elaborate knopped baluster stem, terminating in a spread domed oval base embossed in high and low relief with angels, scrolls and acanthus leaves, inscribed 'The Gift of Herbert Fitch Master 1922/23', height 60cm, width 34cm, weight total 188oz.Footnotes:ProvenanceCommissioned by Herbert Fitch in 1924 and presented to the 'Worshipful Company of Stationers', to commemorate his time as Master of the 'Stationers' Company' from 1922 to 1923. For use at members banquets and prestigious occasions, hosted within the historic 'Stationers' Hall', Ave Maria Lane, in the City of London. It would either be placed in front of the Master on the top table, or clearly exhibited during ceremonial occasions and Court meetings.Henceforth held at 'Stationers' Hall' since 1924, up until the present day.Introduction to the 'Stationers' Company'The 'Worshipful Company of Stationers' and Newspaper Makers', also known as the 'Stationers' Company', has represented publishing and communications professionals since 1403. Originally formed to represent members of a manuscript-based book trade, the 'Stationers' Company' rose to prominence with Caxton's introduction of the printing press to England in 1476. As the subversive potential of this new technology was recognised, successive English governments during the turbulent sixteenth and seventeenth centuries enlisted the Stationers' help in regulating the press, making the Company a dominant force in the publishing landscape for some time to come. The Stationers' embraced their position, fully participating in the pomp and pageantry of the City of London. Rebuilt in the 1670s on its original foundations after the Fire of London ravished its medieval structure, 'Stationers' Hall' is a testament to the Company's rich social and cultural life over the centuries. Today the headquarters of a vibrant professional membership organisation, in the Hall's fabric, fittings and fixtures are inscribed the history of a London Livery Company where tradition and innovation have always gone hand in hand. Lot ResearchThis is the present full armorial of the 'Worshipful Company of Stationers' and Newspaper Makers'. Created in 1403 as the 'Worshipful Company of Stationers', this has been their official title since the incorporation of the Newspaper Makers in 1937. The arms were granted in 1557 to the then 'Worshipful Company of Stationers' but without crest and supporters, which should only officially appear after 1951. However the Company did unofficially adopt a crest and supporters from the eighteenth century and crests have been found to appear from 1789, and supporters from 1834. These are useful dating attributes. The Stationers' Company's motto is 'Verbum Domini Manet in Aeternum', Latin for 'The Word of the Lord endures forever'.In terms of the provenance of this piece on offer, Court Orders for 1st December 1925 note: 'Mr Herbert Fitch (Master 1922/23) ... said that when he was Upper Warden the Court on the 4th day of April 1922 resolved on his proposition 'that it is desirable that a Standard Emblem or Device be adopted.'' Consequently, he decided to 'provide and present to the Company a piece of plate embodying the approved design in a permanent and artistic form.' 'The work of art which he asked the Court to accept was of silver gilt and consisted of a pillar and base carrying the Arms and Crest of the Company (which were shown in enamels of correct Heraldic colours) flanked on either side by the angels which had been the supporters for over 100 years.''That the Court of Assistants do offer to Mr Herbert Fitch their most cordial thanks for his unique and valuable gift.'Herbert Fitch (1849-1933) established a respected printing business on Bury Street, in the City of London. In 1922 he received the honour of being elected as Master of the 'Stationers' Company', and was also an esteemed member of Lloyds. After a full life, he passed away at the age of 84 and was duly buried at Brompton Cemetery. As a wealthy business owner, his life was commemorated with a Grade 2 listed tomb made of Portland Stone and green marble columns. Over time, his wife Jeannie and their three sons were laid to rest with him. His son, also named Herbert, was a member of Special Branch Police and his memoirs detail how he listened to a secret meeting by Lenin and his comrades, whilst hiding in a pub cupboard.Literature'Stationers' Hall' Court records, accessed via the Stationers' Company archivist.Friends of Brompton Cemetery,'Tomb of Herbert Fitch', accessed 26/10/23 via https://brompton-cemetary.org.ukFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
