Dennis Lyall (American, B. 1946) "Modern Folding Fan" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 37c Flag Folding Fan stamp issued April 3, 2003. Inspired by the exceptional colors and magnificent design of the U.S. flag, an endless variety of souvenirs, toys, knickknacks and other patriotic ephemera has been produced in the United States over the past two and a quarter centuries. This art features a particularly healthy serving of red, white and blue. Indeed, the elegant design of this patriotic tribute to Old Glory is powerful in its simplicity: a modern hand fan -- made of fine paper and balsa wood -- that beautifully unfolds to reveal the stars and stripes of America's beloved flag. In 2003, America celebrated Old Glory's 226th Anniversary. The concept of an annual day specifically dedicated to celebrating the flag is believed to have originated in Fredonia, Wisconsin, There, in 1885, a teacher arranged for his school district to observe June 14 -- the day in 1777 on which Old Glory was officially adopted as the American flag -- as "Flag Birthday." By the turn of the century, "Flag Day" celebrations were common across America. Acknowledging the holiday's widespread popularity, President Wilson officially established June 4 as Flag Day by Presidential Proclamation in 1916. Image Size: 12 x 14 in. Overall Size: 15.5 x 18 in.

Erik Nitsche (Connecticut, Switzerland, 1908 - 1998) "United Nations Around the World" Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board.Signed lower right. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.N. 67c 40th Anniversary of the United Nations Souvenir Sheet issued June 26, 1985. Nitsche was a pioneer in the design of books, annual reports, and other printed material that relied on meticulous attention to the details of page composition, the elegance of simple type presentation, and the juxtaposition of elements on a page. His hallmarks were impeccably clear design, brilliant colors, smart typography, and an adherence to particular geometric foundations. Nitsche studied at the College Classique of Lausanne and the Kunstgewerbeschule in Munich. Prior to immigrating to the United States, he was a designer for Simplicissimus, Jugend, and Der Querschnitt, creating covers and illustrations. He moved to the United States in 1934, where he worked in Hollywood before moving to New York in 1936. In New York, he worked for major magazines including Life, Vanity Fair, and Harper?s Bazaar as well as advertising and promotional campaigns for Twentieth Century Fox and Universal. In 1955, Nitsche began working with engineering company General Dynamics as art director, which he held until 1960. He designed a breakthrough series of posters, in addition to designing their corporate image, annual reports, and advertising through the development of information design systems. Nitsche designed a 420-page book on the company's history entitled Dynamic America, prompting him to begin designing his own books. Nitsche was also a consultant to the Museum of Modern Art's department of design and to Standard Oil of New Jersey in the 1950s and 60s. Early in World War II, European leaders of nine allied nations against Germany met in London. Overrun by nazi forces and driven from their homelands, these leaders met to sign a declaration pledging to work for a world free from war and oppression; a world where all people could live in peace and security. This important meeting laid the ground work for an international organization which would become known as the United Nations. In 1945 representatives from fifty nations met in San Francisco where they all voted to accept the Charter of the United Nations. The Charter became effective on October 24, 1945.

Established in the wake of World War II, the United Nations has strived to achieve a lasting peace among all nations of the world. But in addition to promoting peaceful and friendly relations among countries, the United Nations is also dedicated to the betterment of all mankind. Indeed, a major goal of the United Nations is to help solve social and cultural problems for all people and encourage respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. The United Nations accomplishes these goals through a wide variety of programs designed to suit the needs of underdeveloped countries and needy peoples. Scientists, researchers, medical personnel and social workers are all supported by the United Nations in their efforts to solve problems faced by needy peoples and underdeveloped nations. Economic and trade assistance is also provided by the UN. To assist underdeveloped countries obtain needed funds to improve their way of life, the International Bank was established to grant loans and other financial assistance. In addition, the United Nations helps countries develop trading systems by providing lower tariff rates for some exports and sharing technology with poorer countries. Through these and other programs, the United Nations continues to improve the way of life for the world's people. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 20 x 15 in. Unframed. (B09623)

* ANDREW HAY (SCOTTISH b 1944), GLASGOW BUILDINGS oil on canvas laid down on board, signed 91cm x 118cm Framed. Note: Having started to paint at the age of 39, within a year the People's Palace Museum, Glasgow had purchased ten paintings and had given Hay his first solo exhibition. Since then his works have been included in numerous public and private collections. His work deals with both narrative and nature, sometimes subverting one or the other in order to advance his artistic practise. His insistence on invention, freedom and risk affirms continuity in his aesthetic spirit. He uses a network of codes, symbols and expressive techniques which play off his collective memory and familiarity of everyday objects and culture from his childhood and juxtaposes them with present day reality. In so doing he embodies them with a new philosophical discourse. Andrew’s work now features in many significant public and private collections and is in the permanent collections of Glasgow's Kelvingrove, Gallery of Modern Art and The People's Palace.

* SHEILA MACMILLAN DA PAI (SCOTTISH 1928 - 2018), RONDA 2001 oil on board, signed 46cm x 49cm Framed and under glass. Note: Painted "am" 16th September 2001 and so titled and inscribed under the backboard. Note 2: Sheila Macnab Macmillan was born in Glasgow in 1928. She attained a degree in Geography at Glasgow University and went on to train as a teacher. However, she had always painted and her talent was strongly encouraged by her uncle the distinguished Iain Macnab (1890 - 1967) who persuaded Sheila to come to London and train under him. Iain Macnab had been Principal at Heatherley's Art School (1925 - 1940) and then went on to be founding Principal of the hugely influential Grosvenor School of Modern Art. Sheila's London influences and Glasgow School foundations evolved into a distinctive and individual style. She usually worked "en plein air" and her work is semi abstract. She focused mainly on landscape where her training as a geographer, allowed her to use her understanding of land formation, the delicate balance of the seasons and the interaction between Man and the environment. Her uncle's concept of "rhythm" is evident in Sheila's work and remained a constant throughout her career. She painted in Scotland, Spain. France and Italy and exhibited widely especially in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Newcastle. Her work appeared frequently at the Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Glasgow Institute, Paisley Art Institute annual exhibitions and at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (London). She won numerous awards and prizes over a long and distinguished career.

Paterson Gallery, Paintings by Benjamin and Winifred Nicholson, May-June 1923, cat.no.27Ascot, Austin Desmond Fine Art, Aspects of Modern British Art, 24 March–28 April 1984, cat.no.40After Winifred and Ben Nicholson married in November 1920 they spent their honeymoon travelling around Italy looking for somewhere to live, eventually settling on a house at Castagnola, near Lugano, in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland. Here they spent three winters, travelling back to England via Paris where they admired works by Cézanne, Picasso, Braque, Rousseau, Matisse and Derain, absorbing what they had seen and experimenting furiously. Winifred described Paris as 'electric with innovation ... Its creative energy was not to be believed, so we always went back to Villa Capriccio and brooded our ideas'. (See Sebastian Barassi 'The Allure of the South: the Nicholsons in Italy and Switzerland, 1920-23' in Art and Life: Ben Nicholson, Winifred Nicholson, Christopher Wood, Alfred Wallis, William Staite Murray, 1920-1923, Philip Wilson Publishers, London, 2014). Many of the paintings then made have not survived, and White Violets, which was exhibited at the London Group show in the autumn of 1922 is the earliest known work from this pivotal moment in Winifred Nicholson's development. Winifred's White Violets and Ben Nicholson's 1922 (Bread) (Tate) give an indication of how closely the husband and wife worked together, but it was Winifred's painting which came to 'flowering point' the following winter, notably in Cyclamen and Primula (Kettle's Yard, Cambridge) and also exploring translucent white light, in an astonishing period of creativity that Winifred was never able to repeat. Winifred later wrote, 'You know how much I like buds, the beginnings of things, with all the promise to come implied, but not yet stated.' White Violets, with its white buds hovering expectantly and which introduces so many of Winifred's favourite ideas and themes, can be seen symbolically as just such a beginning with the promise implied.

A RARE CHINESE BAMBOO GILT AND LACQUERED SCHOLAR'S TEAPOT AND COVER YONGZHENG/QIANLONG The compressed circular body with a loop handle and spout, with gilt ruyi-heads centred by red lacquer encircling the rim, the cover decorated with two flowers set amidst stylised leafy tendrils and delicate scrollwork, the recessed base incised Jiezhai zao which can be translated as 'made in the studio of restraint', 12.1cm. (2) Cf. Christie's Hong Kong, 2nd December 2015, lot 3139 for another bamboo root teapot and cover with this mark; see also Bonhams Hong Kong, 28th November 2011, lot 250 for a Yongzheng Yixing inkstone and lacquer box decorated with comparable gilt scrolls. The lacquer decoration on this unusual bamboo teapot is comparable to that on Japanese lacquer pieces, particularly the delicate scrollwork to the cover and band of foliage resembling karakusa scrolls. The Yongzheng Emperor is known to have greatly admired Japanese works of art and aesthetics, and he was especially fond of Japanese maki-e lacquer with gold decoration. There were a large number of Japanese maki-e pieces in the collection of the Qing court. However, the Yongzheng Emperor's appreciation for Japanese lacquer led him not only to collect pieces made in Japan, but also to order imitation works from domestic Imperial workshops. Yongzheng is believed to have been the first Qing emperor to commission such imitation pieces, and this was to be continued by his son the Qianlong Emperor. These imitation pieces appear to have been valued as equal to rather than inferior to authentic Japanese examples. Aside from pure imitations, Yongzheng also encouraged the application of Japanese lacquerware designs on other media, including porcelain and enamel. An enamelled gilt-copper inro-style case produced in the Qing court workshops and now in the National Palace Museum collection is one example of these kind of pieces produced under the Yongzheng Emperor's reign.

*VINCENT HENRY LINES (1909-1968) 'Margaret Fisher Prout Painting' etching, 19cm x 24cm; together with another work by the same Artst, 'Fishing, Canal St-Martin Paris c1930' etching, 17.5cm x 29.5cm and a copy of the auction catalogue for the remaining studio of Margaret Fisher Prout, Tuesday 11th November, Phillips, Son & Neale (3)Millicent Margaret Fisher Prout ARA (1875- 9 December) was a highly successful and productive artist who helped improve perceptions of modern art in Britain. Prout was born in Church Street, Chelsea, on 31 March 1875, the only daughter of the painter Mark Fisher R.A. She studied under her father and at the Slade School of Art between 1894 and 1897. By 1914 she was teaching life drawing at the Hammersmith School of Arts and Crafts and had her first solo exhibition at the Beaux Arts Gallery in 1922. Prout was a painter of flowers, landscape and figures in an Impressionist style. She produced various subjects including animals, landscapes, figures, flowers, and other still life. In 1908 she married a farmer, John Prout, and was based in various locations throughout her career including Harlow, Essex, London, Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire, East Grinstead and was most latterly associated with Sussex and remained there until her death in 1963. Prout had an extensive career over a period of at least 58 years. She exhibited at the New English Art Club from 1897 (which was an alternative institution for showcasing artists as opposed to the Royal Academy of Arts, which was mostly unwelcoming to the work of female artists), the Royal Scottish Academy (1935), the Royal Hibernian Academy (1924-39), the Royal Glasgow Institute (1928-58) and the Royal Academy itself in 1921-64. She also exhibited with the Society of Women Artists (1927-63) and the Women's International Art Club, both institutions for the promotion of the work of women. Prout was elected an associate member of the Royal Academy in 1948. She was a member of the Society of Women Artists from 1935 to 1937 and from 1952 to 1958 and was also a member of the New English Art Club. A retrospective exhibition of Prout's work was held at the Worthing Art Gallery in 1961, the Royal Watercolour Society held a memorial exhibition in 1966 and Blond Fine Art also held a retrospective in 1979. Vincent Lines, a neighbour of Fisher Prout's in St Leonards-on-Sea, wrote a book on Mark Fisher and Margaret Fisher Prout "Mark Fisher and Margaret Fisher Prout, Father and Daughter: A Record of a Hundred Years of Painting" with the image of Fisher Prout painting offered here featured on the front cover.*Artist Resale Right may apply to this lot

Japanese Antique Textile Fireman’s Coat & Apron – Edo perio. The coat with an embroidered mon (family crest) on the back and reverse of each sleeve. The apron with embroidered mon and cloud pattern. This was worn by firemen attached to the local prince or Daimyo. It is called Daimyo Bikeshi Shozoku (Daimyo's Fireman Costume). It appears to be made of heavy woven wool with silk facings and details. The mon is of the Daimyo of Asano (in modern day Aki Prefecture). As can be seen from the photos it is beautifully made. The Japanese fire service dates back to the 17th. century and were renowned, then as now, for their parades and displays of acrobatic skills. Dating is uncertain, probably around the middle of the 19th Century (Late Edo Period). Width approx. 116cm (45.5 inches), length approx. 95cm (37 inches).  Provenance: from the collection of the late Brian Page (1938-2018), the well-known Oriental art and antiques dealer from Brighton.
