Lot 144
An Arts and Crafts enamel and opal pendant by James Cromar Watt, circa 1905, of organic design, the central opal matrix collet-set within an open framework of butterflies decorated in polychrome translucent enamels, to a scrollwork opal-set surmount, the whole suspending a small black hardstone drop, mounted in gold, the reverse with conjoined maker’s initials ‘JCW’, length 6.7cm. £1,500-£2,000 --- James Cromar Watt (1862-1940) was born and grew up in Aberdeen and in 1879 he began his training as an architect with W & J Smith of Aberdeen. In the late 1880s he travelled in Belgium, Germany and Italy which inspired his love of Renaissance arts and crafts. On his return he rejoined W & J Smith, and qualified as an architect at the Architectural School of the Royal Academy, London. Watt continued his travels in the 1890s, spending time in Greece, where his love for decoration and craft skills deepened. In the course of his travels, he appears to have begun dealing in works of art, taking a particular interest in ancient metalworks. By 1896, he had resigned his architectural associateship to concentrate exclusively on his work with precious metals. He took a particular interest in developing his skills in the ancient techniques of gold granulation and translucent foiled enamelling, working firstly on large objects, then concentrating on jewellery. Inspiration from contemporary artists, included Alexander Fisher and Phoebe Traquair. During the First World War, Watt was engaged on secret government work - the true nature of which has never been disclosed. He did not return to jewellery-making - apparently due to failing eyesight - and devoted most of his energies into working with the English architect and goldsmith Henry Wilson, a friend since at least 1905, together completing the bronze tomb of Bishop Elphinstone, co-founder of the University of Aberdeen. He was granted an honorary degree in 1931 by the University of Aberdeen.. Watt assembled an important collection of ancient ceramics and artefacts, particularly from China and the Far East, including porcelain, jade, silk paintings, ivories, lacquer work, enamels and bronzes. After his death in 1940, his collection was divided between the Aberdeen Art Gallery and the Royal Scottish Museum. Literature: Charlotte Gere/Geoffrey C.

A gold and enamelled serpent bracelet, mid 19th century, the body composed throughout of graduating articulated links each decorated with blue enamel, the head applied with an opal and rose-cut diamond cluster and with cabochon ruby eyes, contained in fitted case, the underside bearing a handwritten label, reading: ‘Belonged to Grandmama Aberdare, given her by Sir Charles Napier, (Norah Creine Napier) given me at my wedding by Aunt Alice Bruce. To go back to England’, length 21cm. £3,000-£5,000 --- Provenance: According to the note of provenance attached to the case, Sir Charles Napier (1782-1853) had given the bracelet to 'Grandmama Aberdare'. It had then passed down through the family to Alice Bruce, an aunt of the ultimate recipient, who had written the history on this note, as a wedding gift. ‘Grandmama Aberdare’ was Lady Nora Creina Blanche Bruce (1827-97), second wife of the 1st Baron Aberdare (1815-95), who became Lord President of the Council and Home Secretary under Gladstone, and the daughter of Sir William Napier (1785-1860), the younger brother of Sir Charles. Both brothers fought in the Peninsular War, and both later rose to the rank of General. While William wrote a definitive history of the Peninsular War, Charles pursued a military career: in 1839 he was given command in Northern England to control the Chartist agitation, and is remembered for his sensitive handling of the unrest due to the hardships experienced by the labouring classes in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, thereby averting conflict. He spent time in India (1841-44) involved in the controversial annexation of the native states of Sind into the British Empire for which he received a Knighthood. Alice Bruce (1867-1951) was the youngest daughter of the Lord and Lady Aberdare, and granddaughter of Sir William Napier. A celebrated educationalist and administrator, she served as President of Aberdare Hall in Cardiff. Then by direct family descent to the vendor.
