A GEORGE III TEA AND COFFEE SERVICE BY PAUL STORR the form derived from a Roman oil lamp with cast and chased band of double shells alternating with palmettes, beaded shoulder and entwined snake handles on low domed and reeded foot engraved with the arms of the Duke of Manchester, comprising teapot, the domed lid with integral hinge, anthemion spout and carved ivory handle, 17cm h, marked on base and stamped 562/S, sugar bowl, 11cm h, cream jug with anthemion spout, 11cm h, London 1810 hot water jug or coffee pot and lampstand with domed lid, carved body handle, the stand on three incurved acanthus capped lion monopodiae, platform and three feet, shallow urnular lamp with chained cap, 28cm h, marked on base, stand and lamp, London 1810, hot water urn with domed cover with rising cast flower finial with steam vent, the interior with plain cylindrical seamed sleeve with ring handles, cover and hot iron, acanthus clad reed loop handles issuing from lion masks, conforming spout with carved ivory palmette tap, on reeded foot, square plinth stamped RUNDELL BRIDGE ET RUNDELL AURIFICES REGIS ET PRINCIPIS WALLIAE, on outset curling stiff leave paw feet flanked by volutes, 38cm h, marked on base and cover, London 1810, (urn 1809) sleeve and cover unmarked, 348ozs gross Provenance: William Montagu, 5th Duke of Manchester (1771-1843). He married in 1793 Lady Susan Gordon, third daughter of Alexander Gordon, 4th Duke of Gordon. Manchester held office as Governor of Jamaica for nineteen years from 1808, where he prepared the colony for the emancipation of slaves. It is possible that he commissioned the present service from Rundells in connection with his new posting to the Caribbean; thence by descent at Kimbolton Castle until the 20th century and acquired by the present vendor by private treaty in 1996. The design of this elegant serpent handled tea service by Paul Storr was one of the most popular marketed by his firm, Rundell, Bridge & Rundell. Such was the demand that Penzer (1954) recorded no fewer than nineteen examples of the hot water jug or coffee pot alone. The most prestigious goldsmiths of the age, they employed leading artists as designers and their craftsmen were highly skilled in all branches of the craft - raising, casting, chasing and engraving. Based on the ancient Roman oil lamp, its adaptation to the individual forms of a tea service was probably executed by the French painter and designer Jean-Jacques Boileau (1787-1851). His design for a very similar hot water jug or coffee pot is in the Victoria & Albert Museum. Boileau was in England at the time, having been employed by Henry Holland in the redecoration of Carlton House for the Prince of Wales. A similar service in the Gilbert Collection is fully discussed and illustrated Schroder (Timothy B), The Gilbert Collection of Gold and Silver, Los Angeles 1988, pp 371-7. An earlier hot water urn made by Paul Storr for the Duke of Manchester (London 1802) was sold, Christie`s, 16 March 1949, lot 38. It is illustrated Penzer (N M), Paul Storr, 1954, plt XVIII. Each piece in very good condition and complete
Lot 1370
SIR GEORGE JAMES FRAMPTON, RA PETER PAN bronze, fine rich even dark patina, signed with monogram, dated 1919 and inscribed with the initials PP within a circle, on Conemara marble plinth, 48cm h, 52.5cm h overall, sold with a letter from Frampton`s widow acknowledging the price £105) paid for the present cast (2) Cast in 1919. Frampton`s Peter Pan by the Serpentine in Kensington Gardens has always been one of the most admired works of public sculpture in Britain, having attained virtually iconic status. Its originality and the naturalism of the innocent child appealed to an Edwardian England in the aftermath of the Boer war and its poetic newness accorded well with the mood of youthful optimism for the new century, in the years leading up to the World War One. How different it must have seemed to that other great work of the `New Sculpture` Movement, Sir Alfred Gilbert`s Shaftesbury Memorial (Eros) of 1886-93. Peter Pan was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1911. It was commissioned anonymously by the book`s author Sir J M Barrie and erected, in great secrecy, on the night of the 29-30 April 1912 so that its appearance the next day would seem magical. `It is placed at the spot where Peter Pan lands for his nightly visit to the Gardens` observed Sir Edward Gleichen (London`s Open-air Statuary, 1928). The Adventures of Peter Pan was published in 1904 and first performed at the Duke of York`s Theature on 27 December of the same year. Barrie gave the copyright to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in April 1929. Frampton`s range was unusually wide, as he was a versatile exponent of several branches of the applied and decorative arts, a medallist, a skilful enameller, maker of jewellery and decorator working in stone, plaster and other media. He trained as an architect before studying at the Royal Academy Schools and in Paris. In Belgium he was strongly influenced by the new developments there. He was in reality himself an English Symbolist and one of the original members of the Art Workers Guild, serving as Master in 1902. He was born in 1860 and died in 1928, having been knighted in 1908. The present bronze is one of the small number of reductions cast for Frampton up to about 1920. The letter from Frampton`s widow, which accompanies the lot is of interest for a number of reasons, not least for giving the high price (£105) the cast commanded: Dear Mr-, Thank you for your letter - I am very sorry to hear that Mr Mitchells Memorial is neglected and hope it will be cleaned satisfactorily. As the the Peter Pan statuette there will certainly be no more of these produced - I have just succeeded in finding a record of what must have been the last one done & the price paid for it was £105. The Statue is strictly copyright & we have decided that no further replicas of it or any part of it shall be made - Since my husband`s death I have had repeated trouble with infringements & have had to take very drastic measures to try & stop the abuse - Some of the statuettes he presented to old friends & some were sold in the ordinary way. I have not had time to trace the complete record of them but I daresay this information will be sufficient for your purposes. With kind regards Yrs sincerely Christabel A Frampton` Other examples were sold Sotheby`s London, 9 July 2002 (£36,000), 14 December 2001 (£48,000) and 26 June 2001 (£45,000).
