A Victorian presentation trowel BIRMINGHAM 1875 BY THOMAS PRIME & SON by Thomas Prime & Sons, Birmingham 1875, the diamond shaped blade with cross hatched and stylised flower head border with presentation inscription below 'Presented to The Right Hon The Earl of Mar & Kellie DEPUTY GRAND MASTER OF SCOTLAND, by John Melvin & Son Architects, Alloa, on the occasion of his laying, with Masonic Honours, the foundation stone of the Alloa Burgh School. 8th October 1875' in gothic script, the centre engraved with an elevation of the school building, with heavy cast foliate handle and spirally fluted ivory grip with ball finial, in original fitted case with retailers label 'R STRANG & Son / ALLOA' blade 22cm long, overall length 36.5cm Notes: The trowel was presented to the Earl by John Melvin, Senior architect of the building, who commenced his career as a joiner in the family business but moved to Edinburgh where he went through a course in the 'study and practice of architecture'. In 1826 he returned to his native town and began business as 'master joiner and architect'. John Melvin Junior was born in 1855 and was articled to his father before seeking Edinburgh experience with George Beattie & Son. He returned to Alloa as partner to his father's architecture business in 1874 and also worked on the building of the new Burgh school. The occasion of the laying of the foundation stone was an important affair in Alloa, the Earl of Marr and Kellie when addressing the ceremony stated 'that it gave him great pleasure to preside on such an interesting occasion. It was the first time that he had had the honour of laying the foundation stone of any building and he considered it a great compliment when he was asked by the the School Board' Unusually the ceremony was performed with full Masonic honours at the request of the Earl ' he could not officiate in his private capacity, and that the ceremony should be performed with Masonic honours' . A full account and report of the ceremony itself were reported in the local newspapers, where mention of the trowel is made, stating it 'was furnished by Messers Robert Strang & Son, watch makers and manufacturing jewellers, Alloa'. As this trowel is in a named fitted box and they are described as manufacturing jewellers, it seems likely they would have bought the trowel in blank and engraved the detail to the piece. This is hard to prove but such a close representation of the school would only have been possible with local knowledge. The ceremony itself was a large affair with large crowds from the Burgh schools, local community and the Grand Lodge of Scotland in attendance. The building of new schools at this time was quite a regular occurrence in Scotland with the passing and continued interest in the Education act. The Education act had taken a deep hold over Scotland and the want and need for new and purpose built schools became quickly evident. Alloa had been waiting for almost 30 years for a new school building. Until the building of the new school, classes had been held in the hall situated on the same site. The attendance of schools within the Alloa Burgh had previous to the new Education act been approximately 1093, only a year after the passing of the act the number had risen to 1284, this was a time when it was not considered standard or even a necessity to attend any type of schooling. Extracts taken from a full report published in 'The Alloa Advertiser' 9th October 1875

A George IV coffee pot by George McHattie, Edinburgh 1820-1821, retailed by Morton, the baluster body with fluted bottom section, the domed lid with fluted decoration and gadrooned rim, with bud finial, the spout with scroll and leaf design and acanthus terminal, the simple S scroll handle with acanthus thumbpiece and ivory insulators, the body with engraved crest 26cm high, 27.5oz Notes: The viscount's coronet above the double-headed eagle crest together with the 1820-1 assay date suggests this coffee pot to have been a wedding gift to James Boyle, while he was accorded the courtesy title of Viscount of Kelburn. James Boyle was born in 1792, second son of George Boyle, 4th Earl of Glasgow. He became heir to the earldom on the death in 1818 of his unmarried elder brother John, Lord Boyle, a naval officer. On 4 August 1821 James Boyle, also a naval officer, married Georgina Mackenzie of New Hall and Cromarty and two years later adopted the name Carr-Boyle by Royal Licence on inheriting his mother's Car estates. James Carr-Boyle was Lord Lieutenant and Sheriff Principal of Renfrewshire. He succeeded as 5th Earl of Glasgow in 1843 and died in 1869.

A George III carved mahogany sofa, circa 1770, in the manner of Thomas Chippendale, with serpentine back, seat and scroll arms, on eight cabriole legs with acanthus carved terminals and scroll toes, 212cm wide (damage, repair, lacking scroll toes to outer back legs) Provenance: Purchased by the current owner from Dreweatt's sale of the property of Sir Francis Burdett's Will Trust, 21st May 1986. Literature: Country Life.Ramsbury Manor, p468-477, 9th October 1920. This sofa is illustrated on page 468. Christopher Gilbert. The Life and Works of Thomas Chippendale. Studio Vista/ Christies 1978. By the 18th century the Burdett family held land and estates in Berkshire, Wiltshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire. The principal seats were in Derbyshire at Foremark Hall near Repton, and after about 1790, Ramsbury Manor in Wiltshire. Sir Robert Burdett, 4th Bart. (1716-1797) built the present hall at Foremark. Sir Robert commissioned Thomas Chippendale to produce furniture for the new house. The scale of the commission is revealed by the records kept that between February 1766 and April 1774 he paid Chippendale a sum of ú1228/16/6 (ú1014/14/0 of which was paid for the year 1769 alone). Although no certain attributions to Chippendale were made concerning the furniture in the sale of 1986, several of the pieces, including this sofa, present themselves as prime candidates of being produced as part of the Chippendale commission. The various elements of the design and carving of this sofa, with its serpentine mahogany frame carved with rococo motifs, bears particular similarities to a suite (including a pair of sofas) supplied by Chippendale to the Earl of Dumfries for Dumfries House in 1759 (See Gilbert. pages 195, 133 & 137) The design of this sofa and the Dumfries House example are derived from plate 22 (dated 1759) in the third edition of The Gentleman and Cabinet Makers Director. The design of Chippendale's 'French' chairs such as these, was ingeniously adapted to the taste and wealth of his clients by the subtle use of carved ornament , adapted to suite the decor of the room in which they were to be placed.
