GLASGOW SCHOOL, ATTRIBUTED TO JOHN NISBET (1868-1951)ART NOUVEAU OAK DOOR, CIRCA 1900 with later central clear glass panel enclosed by carved stylised plant forms, above plain panels and fitted with opposed and decorative embossed copper door plates, one with inscription PAX INTRANTIBUS222cm x 97cmLiterature: The Studio Yearbook, 1906, page 136 where similar doors are illustratedNote: The design of the present oak door and design of the preceding lot demonstrate similarities to doors designed by the architect John Nisbet for 'Kelmscott', built for Sir John McTaggart, a Glasgow property developer and builder, in 1900. The house is now a Grade B listed building and retains many of its original features, including an impressive installation of stained glass by Oscar Paterson who also designed stained glass for the doors. Nisbet, a long-time collaborator with Mactaggart, had been a student and classmate of Charles Rennie Mackintosh at Glasgow School of Art. For this commission he incorporated Scots Baronial and English Queen Anne elements in his design, and the house was decorated and furnished with pieces from the leading Arts & Crafts designers and artists of the day, including Frank Brangwyn, from whom Mactaggart is said to have commissioned two paintings. Nisbet was McTaggart's principal architect and together they were instrumental in the residential development of Glasgow's West End, where no less than 300 tenements were built by his company at the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century.Further evidence has come to light that this door (and by extension the door in lot 263) have been used in buildings designed by other Glasgow architects including the celebrated architect James Salmon (1874-1924) (or his firm Salmon, Son & Gillespie) in a house interior at 12 University Avenue, built around 1900 and now part of a run of general University of Glasgow buildings (see illustration of a door very similar to this lot in situ at University Avenue with original glass). Like 'Kelmscott' the building also was fitted out with stained glass by Oscar Paterson.

Benson was admired in the arena of the Avant Garde in Europe and his work was sold through the influential Maison de L’Art Nouveau in Paris. The magazines The Studio, Art et Decoration and Dekorative Kunst all regularly featured his work. The Studio Magazine observed that WAS Benson’s lamps “may ultimately influence the taste of a greater number than the superb Morris-Burne Jones tapestries” whilst The Magazine of Art referred to his lamps as “palpitatingly modern”.Walter Crane in “The Bases of Design” marked W.A.S. Benson’s lamp with a finned copper shade as a good example of modern design. The Studio Yearbook of 1906 praised his experiments with reflectors, as in this example. Hermann Muthesius in his influential book “ Das Englische Haus” stated that WAS Benson was “the first to illuminate dining room tables with light reflected from a shiny metal surface, while keeping the actual source of illumination hidden”.

With calling out notice to 1431264 Gunner G C Carey 51st London AA Regiment RA TA. With transmittal slip. Crimea Medal engraved in a contemporary style to Capt C Le M Carey 63rd Regt Turkish Crimea unnamed as issued Turkish Crimea Contemporarily engraved Bt Major Chas L M Carey 63rd Regt Charles Le Mesurier Carey was born on Guernsey in 1827. He joined the army as an ensign on 13th August 1847. He was promoted to Lieutenant on 18th January 1850 and Captain on 6th November 1854. Carey served in the Crimean war with the 63rd Foot and was awarded the Crimea Medal with Clasps Alma, Balaklava, Inkermann and Sebastopol. Along with the Turkish Crimea. He resigned his commission in 1862 and then commanded the Royal Guernsey Light Infantry Militia as Lieutenant Colonel. Carey was at the centre of a most scandalous defamation case and family feud. His Brother in Law retired Colonel De Vic Tupper seems to have suffered with mental health. In his 1891 biography, he wrote a section stating Carey had had him illegally committed. The Star Newspaper on Tuesday 10th February 1891 covered the libel suit; the following was the basis of the lawsuit. 'On the 9th February 1875, Major Charles Le Mesurier Carey, brother-in-law of the undersigned, Vice President of the Asylum Board, in which capacity he had charge thereof, obtained by surprise, or, bought, at all events obtained from Dr A. K. Corbin, who was Just beginning to practice (son of Dr Jasil Corbin) the last named being the regular medical attendant of the undersigned, a certificate certifying the undersigned to be mad, and the said day, 9th of February, 1875, the undersigned saw his house invaded by four artillerymen and a corporal, and despite his resistance, which can be well understood, he was apprehended, bound, and carried off as a dangerous man to the Asylum, where he was thrown, bruised, covered with blows and blood, into a cell, without receiving any attention until the following morning'. It was proved to be a complete falsehood, and Carey was awarded £50 in damages, and Tupper was fined £50. Carey passed away in 1905, his death was announced in the Army and Navy Gazette. ' Major Charles Le Mesurier Carey, late 63rd Regiment, died at Beaumont, Guernsey, on the 30th ult., aged 78. He joined the Army as Ensign Aug. 13, 1847; was promoted to Lieutenant Jan. 18, 1850; Captain Nov. 6, 1854; and Major June 6, 1856. He resigned by a sale of his commission in 1862 and had since that time been Lieutenant-Colonel in the Royal Guernsey Light Infantry Militia. Major Carey served in the Eastern Campaign of 1854 and to July 1855, including the battles of Alma, Balaclava, and Inkerman, and the siege of Sebastopol (medal with four clasps, brevet of Major, and Turkish medal).
