Attributed to Richard Collins (1755-1831) Portrait miniature of a gentleman, thought to be Charles Paxton (1707/8-1788) in a grey coat and matching waistcoat, frilled white cravat, his hair worn en queue watercolour on ivory, oval, in a gold frame set with old cut diamonds 4cm Provenance: Sotheby's, London, 30 May 1977, lot 63; Christie's, London, March 1985, lot 298; Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh, 14 May 2019, lot 53, as 'Attributed to George Engleheart and of Charles Paxton'; Ellison Fine Art, from whom acquired in 2019 as 'by Richard Collins of Charles Paxton' by the late Barry Lock (1934-2021) Charles Paxton was an American Loyalist whose early career is largely unknown. In 1760, he became Customs Surveyor in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts. Despite his thankless job of searching ships for contraband and enforcing customs duties, he was perceived as living extravagantly and currying favour with the British, making him immensely unpopular in Boston. In 1766, Paxton was chased out of the country by an angry mob. The following year, in London, he helped form a Board of Commissioners to enforce British customs laws in Boston and returned to Massachusetts with increased power. By 1768, however, he called for British troops to be sent to Boston after the merchants openly defied the law, leading to an effigy of Paxton being hung from the Liberty Tree. His call for military support is considered one of the earliest actions leading to the hostilities of the Revolutionary War. Once the war began, he was officially banished from Boston and fled to England in 1776, where he submitted claims to the crown for his losses during the war and settled in Norfolk. A portrait of Charles Paxton dated 1751, which shows him at a younger age and before him fleeing to England in 1776, is at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Washington. This item is offered for sale in accordance with the Ivory Act 2018 and has been assigned an exemption certificate, Ref. No. 36E69MP6.

Y AN INDIAN HARDWOOD AND IVORY INLAID CABINET GUJERAT OR SINDH, LATE 17TH/EARLY 18TH CENTURY The doors enclosing nine drawers, the inlay to five sides, on a walnut notch carved stand in the Cotswold School taste The cabinet 25cm high, 38cm wide, 29cm deep; the stand 75cm high, 38.5cm wide, 30.5cm deep Provenance:Purchased by George Byng Esq MP (1764-1847) and by descent until sold, Christie's, London, Two Late Regency Collectors: Philip John Miles and George Byng, 9th June 2005, lot 173 where purchased by Robert Kime. Literature: 5 St James's Square, 1847 Inventory: 'BACK DRAWING ROOM a small India Cabinet enclosed by 2 doors and drawers inside.' Cabinets of this general type, inlaid with flowers in ivory onto a hardwood ground were made in north western India, in the provinces of Gujarat or Sindh, from the late 16th century. A similar cabinet is in the Victoria & Albert Museum, but with a fall front. The use of doors in this example may denote a European commission, reflecting as it does the more usual use of doors on a cabinet (see: https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O115588/cabinet-unknown/ and A. Jaffer, Luxury Goods from India..., London, 2002, no. 25). The cabinet was bought by George Byng, whose collecting reflected high fashions of the 1820s -1840s, in company with great collectors such as George Watson Taylor, William Beckford and the king, George IV. Byng's manuscript 'List of Furniture, Porcelain, Paintings &C. purchased by George Byng for Wrotham Park, 1816-43', testifies to his avariciousness for superb objects, paintings and furniture. He lived at Wrotham Park, begun by his great-uncle, the unfortunate naval officer executed following the loss of Menorca in 1757, completed by his father George Byng (d. 1789) and extended by his son, the collector, George Byng MP (d. 1847). Saleroom notice:This lot contains elephant ivory and is therefore subject to both CITES regulations and the UK Ivory Act 2018. Goods containing African elephant ivory cannot be imported to the USA, while other countries have in place wide-ranging restrictions on exporting and importing property containing elephant ivory. Prospective buyers are advised to familiarise themselves with the export and import restrictions prior to bidding. We will not be able to cancel your purchase if your lot may not be exported, imported or it is seized for any reason by a government authority. Dreweatts have applied for a de minimis exemption licence for the ivory in this lot (Ref: KCT1C37J) Condition Report: Correction to the original catalogue description - there are seven interior drawers, not nine as stated in the catalogue description, as the top drawer is inlaid to simulate three drawers but is in fact one long drawer.Overall there are some scratches, marks, knocks, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are some losses, restorations and observations including:The ivory has a light applied staining.Overall there are wood and ivory veneers that are missing.There are some areas, including the lower border of the back that are painted instead of inlaid - this is probably a repaired section, and there are other small areas of repair including some filler.The gilt metal escutcheons and hinges have good engraved detail, as do the ivory flowers which are finely engraved to the front, sides and the interior, though not to the back.The base is missing a section of the border.A notch to the edge of one door and a later lock to the other door, there is no key.There is some evidence of worm.Some drawers are missing handles.There is some later black paint around the edge of the interior.The stand shows few signs of wear.Please see the additional condition report photographs as a visual reference of condition.

Lot 268
A GEORGE II SILVER SHAPED OVAL SWING HANDLED CAKE-BASKET GEORGE METHUEN, LONDON 1753 With a pierced, floral and foliate swing handle, the pierced body with a chased floral and scroll border, engraved with an armorial, on a foliate scroll cast skirt foot, engraved beneath 'Presented to the Honourable Lionel Walter Rothschild, upon attaining his Majority, by the servant of the Households of Piccadilly, and Fring Park & Gardens, February. 8. 1889.' 38.5cm (15 1/4in) long 1943g (62.5 oz)These are the arms of the ROTHSCHILD family of Vienna Austria. In the first instance the arms would have been used by the five sons of Mayer Amschel ROTHSCHILD (1744-1812) of Vienna Austria the founder of the Rothschild Dynasty, who were: Guttle SCHNAPPER (1753-1849); Amschel Mayer ROTHSCHILD (1773-1855) the Austrian heir; Salomon Mayer ROTHSCHILD (1774-1855) an Austrian banker; Nathan Mayer ROTHSCHILD (1777-1836) an English banker; Calmann Mayer ROTHSCHILD (1788-1855) a banker in Naples; Jacob Meyer de ROTHSCHILD a French banker. However all of the male descendants of the family would have been entitled to use the same arms. The identification of the item as English of 1753 (assay date) suggests that we might expect that the item and engraving was the responsibility of Nathan Mayer ROTHSCHILD, who had settled in London in 1798. Notably the family ROTHSCHILD were in 1816 ennobled as Barons in Austria and their arms were adjusted to contain suitable coronet and supporters. They were later acknowledged by Queen Victoria as barons of the UK. We would as a result expect that the engraving was created in the period 1798-1816. PROVENANCE: Leopold de Rothschild (1845-1917) Condition Report: Marks are clearEngraving is crispSlightly wobblesTwo feet have been repairedHandle swings freelyHandle appears to be unmarkedSigns of repair to the handleBlack marks from salt corrosionNo apparent splits to the decorationLight scratches and wear commensurate with age and useCondition Report Disclaimer
