ARCHIBALD KNOX (1864-1933) FOR LIBERTY & CO., LONDON RARE EXTRA-SIZE 'TUDRIC' PEWTER CLOCK, CIRCAthe circular dial enclosed within tapered case inlaid with abalone shell tablets, stamped maker's marks to base TUDRIC/ 0252(25cm high)Footnote: Literature: Liberty Pewter Sketch Book, Westminster City Archives, London, n.d., p. 57, no. 0252 Tilbrook, Adrian J. The Designs of Archibald Knox for Liberty & Co., London, 1995, p. 106, no. 88 Martin, Stephen A. Archibald Knox, Art Media Press, London, 2001 pp. 240 and 241 Note: Archibald Knox’s designs for Liberty & Co. are very well documented, especially his designs for their ‘Tudric’ and ‘Cymric’ ranges. At 25cm high, however, this clock is unusually larger than its smaller counterpart, which typically measures around 16cm high. Knox is known to have produced only a few extra-sized clocks during his Liberty period and it may be that this rare example was produced as a special commission. Knox’s work draws on the rich cultural heritage of his native Isle of Man. As with many of the larger clocks that are known to exist, their monumental and minimalist forms are reminiscent of the standing Celtic stones which populate the island’s countryside and which Knox spent a lifetime exploring. The decoration on this example, stripped of superfluous ornament, incorporates abalone shell inlay as a series of narrow strips; a stark and striking visual effect that signals a modernist approach to the design. This impressive clock fulfils Knox’s desire to bring together two worlds which he valued deeply: the ancient Celtic tradition and the new, modern world of design, which was undergoing the development of a new and innovative aesthetic.

James Paterson PRSW RSA RWS (1854-1932)/The Red Barn/sketch of a moorland landscape/signed and dated lower left; inscribed verso/oil on canvas board, 26.75cm x 31.75cm/Provenance: The Estate of the late Dr H J Hoyland, Painswick/Note: educated at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1870s, James Paterson became associated with a group of artists who became known as 'The Glasgow Boys', including James Guthrie, John Lavery and William York Macgregor. Sharing a desire to move away from the formality of 19th Century art, they represented the start of modernism in Scottish painting, depicting rural subjects in a loose and fresh style, often on the spot and straight onto the canvas. CONDITION REPORT: In our opinion this is likely to be a preparatory sketch rather than a finished work, which would explain the sight of the canvas through the paint surface. The canvas has been adhered to a board, so perhaps this was in the artist's studio and not intended to be exhibited. The painting is slightly dirty and there is crazing to the paint surface in places, but the general appearance is good. It is in a modern reproduction frame which has sustained damages, with some pieces missing.

GERALD BENNEY: a silver and 18 carat gold boxLondon 1965, impressed 'MADE BY GERALD BENNEY LONDON', also incuse number 41, Elongated rectangular form, the hinged cover with a bark-effect textured surface, formed with fourteen gold narrow bands between silver rectangular panels, all within a narrow gold border, the sides with vertical bark-effect textured surface, a smooth silver footed rim, the interior and underside lined with dark-green leather, length 29.7cm, weight 20oz.Footnotes:ProvenanceBonhams, London, Knightsbridge, The Family Reserve Collection of Gerald Benney, 1st December 2010, lot 663.ADRIAN GERALD SALLIS BENNEY CBE RDI (1930 - 2008) Gerald Benney was one of the most outstanding and influential British goldsmiths of the 20th century. During a career spanning more than 50 years, he was the first British craftsman to hold four Royal Warrants simultaneously. As well as designs in silver, in his early years Benney also used other materials to design a range of products including clocks, lamps and prams. His work can be seen in many collections worldwide, including those of the Victoria and Albert Museum and Goldsmiths' Company. Born in Hull, Yorkshire in 1930. His mother, Aileen, was a talented silversmith and his father, Ernest, was Principal of Brighton College of Art. Young Gerald attended Brighton College of Art from 1946-1948, he studied design and craft under the tutelage of Dunstan Pruden. After two years National Service with the Royal Army Service Corps he went to the Royal College of Art to study under Professor Robert Goodden. He excelled and, in 1952, a four-piece tea service and tray secured him the Prince of Wales Scholarship. It was at the RCA that Benney met fellow designers and silversmiths David Mellor and Robert Welch, between them they were to revolutionise Post-war silver design. During his last term at the RCA, Benney found his first workshop at Suffolk House, Whitfield Place off the Tottenham Court Road in London. Early in his career Benney discovered, by accident, the distinctive surface texturing of silver that was to become his signature. He inadvertently used a hammer with a damaged head while producing a cup and liked the effect. This surface texturing soon became known as 'Benney Bark Finish'. The finish was widely imitated and dominated contemporary silver design for almost two decades. Its success was, not only, for its new contemporary look but, also for the practical reasons that it almost eliminated tarnish and fingerprints. In 1963, Benney moved to Beenham House near Reading and it was here that he decided to develop the use of enamel to further embellish his silver objects and designs. He realised that he would need to learn the skills from established artisans. His first steps, in 1968, were to travel to Zurich to find an enameller who worked for the house of Burch Korrodi. By chance, he came across the Norwegian Berger Bergensen who, not only continued to practise the art of enamelling for Burch, but had also worked for Karl Fabergé's great rival Bolin. Bergensen was persuaded to come to Britain and instruct the Benney work force all he knew about enamelling: Alan Evans and Robert Winter became the most notable master enamellers for Benney. Though it took several years to master the craft, the Benney studio refined and mastered the art of enamelling to the extent that they were able to decorate larger surface areas than Fabergé. There is little doubt that they went on to be one of the world's foremost modern enamellers. In 1969, Benney moved his London studio to Falcon Wharf, Bankside where he eventually employed 22 people. Four years later, he moved his workshop to warehouses in Bear Lane, Southwark and, in the same year, The Goldsmith's Hall held a major retrospective of his work. A year later, 1974, Benney received his first Royal Warrant from by Her Majesty The Queen, followed a year later by those of her late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh. In 1980, Benney received an unprecedented fourth Royal Warrant from His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. It is interesting to note that besides running his own silver studio, Benney held several other design posts, between 1957 – 69 he worked as a consultant designer for Viners. He worked on domestic pieces for production in silver, pewter and stainless steel. Particularly successful were his designs for flatware and cutlery in stainless steel. In 1971, he was awarded Royal Designer for Industry and, from 1974 to 1983, he was Professor of Silversmithing and Jewellery at his alma mater, the Royal College of Art. In 1993, together with his son Simon, Benny opened a shop at 73 Walton Street, Knightsbridge, London and two years later was awarded a CBE.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

It was here that he was introduced to the medium of watercolours by his first mentor and teacher, Shirsat. He subsequently learnt how to paint nudes in preparation for his studies at Sir J J School of Art. It was during his time at the school that the Progressive Artists' Group (PAG) was formed in 1947 by fellow alumni S.H. Raza, M.F. Husain and Francis Newton Souza that greatly impacted him and his works. They rejected the style pioneered by the Bengal school of Art, which married folk styles and Hindu imagery and instead focussed on synthesizing the influences from Indian art history along with the various styles that emerged in North America and Europe during the first half of the 20th Century that included Cubism, Expressionism and Post-Impressionism. Upon graduation in 1951, Padamsee travelled to Paris and held an exhibition which received international recognition, and he was awarded a prize by André Brenton on behalf of the Journal d'Art. A year later he held his first solo show at the Galerie Saint Placide, which was followed by other exhibitions throughout the world. Some of these include the Biennales of Venice, Tokyo and São Paulo and exhibitions at the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford. Over a career that spanned six decades, he continued to experiment, innovate and push boundaries by working in a variety of media that included printmaking, photography, sculpture, oil painting and watercolours. Consequently, he was bestowed with numerous awards some of which include the Lalit Kala Akademi Fellowship in 1962, the Rockefeller Foundation scholarship in 1965, the Kalidas Samman for plastic arts from the Madhya Pradesh government in 1997 and the Padma Bhushan in 2010, India's third highest civilian honour. Padamsee best sums up his art philosophy when he says 'Art for me is to express the invisible,' he replied. 'No morality, no values, no hierarchy can enter its field.' *For quotations on previous pages see Asian Art: Studio Visit, Akbar Padamsee: 'Art for me is to express the invisible', 3 March 2020, Christie's FeaturesFor further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Manjit Bawa (Indian, 1941-2008)Untitled (Man with squirrels) oil on canvas, framedsigned and dated 1992 verso121 x 152cm (47 5/8 x 59 13/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceAcquired by the present owner in 2018 from the artists familyBorn in Punjab, India in 1941, Manjit Bawa developed his distinct style whilst training and working in India and England. He studied fine arts at the College of Art, New Delhi (1958-1963) and was trained under Somnath Hore, B.C Sanyal and Abani Sen. He developed his unique style and discipline under Sen's tutelage who emphasised the importance of drawing continuously and the exploration of figurative painting. Between 1964-1971, he studied at the London School of Painting whilst simultaneously working as a silkscreen printer and exhibited at several solo shows. Sufism, Indian mythology and poetry inspired his paintings. His works are devoid of landscape or other superfluous details recalling the style of Rajput and Pahari miniature painting. His preference for bright, monochrome, heavily-saturated colour are characteristic of India, a country awash with brightness. His figures suspended in this colour with subtle shading give them a luminous and at the same time dream-like presence. 'Being a turbanned Sikh from an ordinary middle-class family was daunting enough but to strike out against the prevalent forces of Cubism and the iconic Klee was to really ask for big trouble and I was hauled up time and again with strict instructions to toe the line. But I remained true to my calling, naturally annoying authorities. Even then in those formative years I was haunted by the spectre of mediocrity. I was willing to accept any challenge, but on my own terms. I was obsessed with one driving need – to create my own painterly language.' (M. Bawa, 'I Cannot Live By Your Memories, Manjit Bawa in Conversation with Ina Puri', Let's Paint the Sky Red: Manjit Bawa, Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi, 2011, p. 47)'...his protagonists do not emerge from an imagined background or prop themselves against the wide horizon of an opening world; rather, they manifest themselves suddenly, like apparitions, in a field that could well be an aura. This is why Bawa's figures, modeled in a surreal manner as they are, can safely be placed in a tradition of innovation and experiment that goes back through the prints and paintings of Kalighat and the Company School to the miniatures of the Mughal and Rajput ateliers.' (Ranjit Hoskote, Modern Miniatures, Recent Paintings, Bose Pacia Gallery Exhibition catalogue, 2000, unpaginated) 'Colour itself becomes a resonant variety of space: a luminous and neutral field, virtually unmarked by a specific sense of place, in which is isolated dream-figures can operate without labouring under the burden of allegiance to any single history.' (Ranjit Hoskote, Modern Miniatures, Recent Paintings, Bose Pacia Gallery Exhibition catalogue, 2000, unpaginated).The coexistence of man and animals is a recurring theme in Bawa's works, here exemplified by a seated man in traditional Punjabi clothing interacting with squirrels against a backdrop of pale blue. He questions how humans and animals, both of whom share the same surroundings can occupy separate mental universes and yet account for the others' presence. (Ranjit Hoskote, Manjit Bawa: Modern Miniatures, Recent Paintings, New York: Bose Pacia, 2000)'If Manjit Bawa's iconography seems to replay a series of classical themes inherited from Indian tradition, we ought not to forget that it also derives its potent charge from the attention he pays to the ever-pixellating textures of contemporary experience.'For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An Umayyad carved marble panel Cordoba, probably Medinat al-Zahra', 10th Centuryof rectangular form, carved in relief with a tree with undulating and intertwined branches forming cartouches filled with leaves and buds, the top of the tree with a pine cone, the border with cable design, mounted 81 x 37.5 cm.Footnotes:ProvenanceOliver Hoare (1945-2018), acquired circa 1976.Jean-Claude Ciancimino Collection (1931-2014), acquired prior to 1965.This panel is a superbly executed example of the intricately carved naturalistic decoration that is characteristic of the art of Umayyad Spain and was used on everything from small ivory caskets to monumental architectural embellishments. Its origins can be traced back to the ornament of Umayyad Syria, which the Islamic craftsmen of Spain made a conscious effort to revive in order to enhance the prestige of the new western Caliphate. This panel is likely to have been produced to adorn the walls of the palace of Medina al-Zahra' which was built for 'Abd al-Rahman III, the first Umayyad Caliph of Cordoba (Reg. 929-961). Construction took place between 936 and his death in 961, but was continued by his son Al-Hakam II (Reg. 961-976). Similar panels can still be seen in situ in the reception hall which can be dated by inscriptions to between 953 and 957. The time consuming and vastly expensive ornamental scheme of relief carved marble panels, which entirely cover the walls of the room, is in stark contrast to the related but vastly cheaper moulded stucco used by the Nasrids at the Alhambra during the twilight of Islamic rule on the Iberian peninsular. In the centuries after Medina al-Zahra' was destroyed by Berbers in 1010, its decorative architectural elements were dispersed and reused in new buildings throughout southern Spain. For this reason, examples of finely carved stone panels, such as the present lot, can be found in many of the regional museums of modern day Andalusia. For comparable examples depicting what may also be Trees of Life in the Archaeological Museums of Cordoba and Seville, see Jerrilynn D. Dodds, Al-Andalus, the Art of Islamic Spain, New York, 1992, pp. 242-243, nos. 36 and 36.
