19TH CENTURY BRITISH NAIVE SCHOOL CHILDREN AT PLAY watercolour and ink(12cm x 19cm (4.75in x 7.5in))Footnote: Note: After many years of living and working in exotic and far-flung parts of the world, including New Guinea, Nigeria and Cairo, Angus and Alison Hill returned to Glasgow to make Scotland their permanent home. Spending time between the fashionable west end of Glasgow and the pretty Black Isle home in Cromarty, Alison now had plenty of time to indulge her passion for naive country antiques. These were not yet fully appreciated by native buyers when Alison first started to buy in the 1970s. And Alison had what is known amongst dealers and collectors as ‘a good eye’. She followed her instincts and bought with her heart. Much of what she bought was then sold, some to North America where there was and still is a greater admiration of painted and simple furnishings. One client she referred to as ‘Blue Chicken’. Some things would be bought by the famous Kensington Church Street emporium The Lacquer Chest who shared her taste and were, like Alison, ahead of their time. What we see in this sale is the collection of special objects which she could not bear to part with. Is it too fanciful to believe that some of her pared-down aesthetic derived, in some part, from her early childhood home at Port Charlotte on the island of Islay, with its white-painted croft houses? She eschewed the popular mahogany and ‘smart’ antiques. Instead, her eye was drawn to the quiet and understated charm of objects often discarded - the painted post box, the child’s wooden alphabet, the delicious collection of milk and cream cans, with the names of the original owner inscribed. The painted miniature portraits of Regency children were her companions on the walls, with some sailors sewn pictures and a painted pigeon portrait thrown in. The drawers in the lovely Cromarty home were stuffed with some of the many small wooden treen objects- a cornucopia of delights. These sat alongside art nouveau and Glasgow Style ceramics, glass and metalwares (see our last Decorative Arts sale). This collecting habit had begun in Cairo. Visits to both the elegant Glasgow flat and home in Cromarty were always a delight, with intelligent and witty conversations, many tales of life overseas. Assam tea was served in breakfast cups. And our eyes were drawn to the many desirable objects which will now find new and appreciative homes

Portrait miniature of a lady, in a puce dress inscribed to the reverse 'Painted by Miss Biffin / Born without hands / Liverpool / 1846' watercolour on ivory 9.5 x 7cmFootnote: Sarah Biffin was born without arms or vestigial legs and was only 94 cm high. At a young age she was contracted under the service of a showman named Emmanuel Dukes, who presented her at fairs and sideshows as an attraction. Mr Dukes taught Miss Biffin how to paint, holding the paintbrush in her mouth, originally in order to increase her appeal for the public who came to watch her. However, she soon became a talented artist, and a demand grew for her work, which initially consisted of mainly landscapes and portrait miniatures. During her appearance at St. Bartholomew’s Fair in 1808, the Earl of Morton paid Miss Biffin a visit. He was so impressed with her skill at draughtsmanship that he sponsored Sarah and arranged private lessons for her by the Royal Academy painter, William Craig. Her popularity grew and she was accepted into the Royal Academy and awarded a medal by The Society of Artists in 1821. She was commissioned by the Royal Family to produce their portraits in miniature, including Queen Victoria. She was even mentioned by Charles Dickens in Nicholas Nickleby and Martin Chuzzlewit. After her patron the Earl of Morton passed away, Queen Victoria awarded her a civil pension, and she retired to Liverpool.Condition report: Watercolour on ivory. With card backing.
