Samuel John Peploe RSA (British, 1871-1935)Still Life with Tureen and Fruit signed 'Peploe' (lower left)oil on canvas46 x 55 cm. (18 1/8 x 21 5/8 in.)painted circa 1926Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Ian MacNicol, Glasgow, where purchased in 1970.Favourite studio props, such as crockery and drapery, were often used by Peploe in various permutations alongside fruit or flowers, as the artist famously sought to paint 'the perfect still life'. This tureen can be seen in several other of his works, but in this example, it takes more of a central role. His compositions were meticulously planned and executed, exploring the balance between naturalism and design for which the Colourists were renowned. The reds and greens of the apples and pears shine out with jewel-like quality, amongst the low tones used on most of the canvas. Reflections in the tureen and table-top are carefully realised, whilst forms are outlined in black and volume is emphasised by shadow. All of which demonstrate how Peploe used compositions to create a dialogue between object and space, colour and tone. All an homage to Paul Cezanne but in Peploe's own distinctive style.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Maurice Edgar CONNELL(1921-2020)Life-study drawingsMaurice Edgar Connell 1921-2020Born in South London to musical and theatrical parents, Maurice grew up singing and performing.He was 18 when war broke out. He joined the Air Force and was sent to Canada to train as a pilot. However, his eyesight was not considered good enough for the Air Force, he came home and joined the army. He was initially in tanks in Italy and North Africa and during this time he met the Cornish artist George Lambourne. It was a meeting that proved pivotal in his life. Lambourne ran the 'Army Decorating Section' which followed the allied armies, setting up and decorating canteens, theatres, libraries and rest centres. Between 1942 and 46, Lambourne's 'private army' followed the war through Italy, North Africa and South Austria. The unit was manned by POWs and soldiers who were no longer mentally fit for active service, and it provided a valuable therapeutic serice. Maurice never spoke of this, though he was once overheard saying 'I suppose I went a bit gaga.'He and Lambourne maintained a lifelong friendship and prior to his marriage in 1967, Maurice would regularly hitchhike to Cornwall to visit. His creative and artistic experience during the war led him to art school; Woolwich and the Central School of Art, where he was taught by the likes of Keith Vaughan and Paolozzi, and Quentin Crisp was his life model. For the next 20 years he worked in theatre, opera and ballet as a stage manager, creating sets, props, costumes or anything that was required, for companies like the Sadlers Wells Ballet, Glyndebourne, the Royal Opera House and various others. A perfectionist, he could turn his hand to anything and make it beautiful. He married late in life and lived quietly in Hertfordshire, teaching pottery and woodwork and working with learning disabled teenagers prior to his retirement. Although he constantly drew, painted and was never without a sketchbook, Maurice rarely exhibited or sold his work. He drew to please himself or to give to friends and family. Upon his death last year at the ripe old age of 98, he left a great body of work, in many mediums, a testament to a thoroughly creative life.

Her practice is immensely diverse, employing a variety of media – from drawing to installation, writing to filmmaking – that has earned her enormous regard in academic and critical circles, culminating in her representing Germany at the 1997 Venice Biennale. Her kinetic sculptures remain some of the most organic and affective works the artist has produced, and the solemn beauty of Turm der Fliehenden Bücher from 1994, is no exception. Emerging in the late 1960s, Horn was part of a generation of artists whose work challenged the institutions and structures that had governed not only the art world, but society at large. Her work has prodded at notions of control, expression, and hierarchies of power, remaining one of the most visceral, captivating bodies of work produced by any artist in the postmodern period. Born in 1944, she grew up in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. It influenced her greatly and would ultimately shape her mythologies and experimental practices in art. As a child, having been taught French and English rather than her native German, language was a fluid medium for Horn, who developed an acute feeling for drawing as her chosen artistic syntax; to her it was a medium that remained universal. In 1964, however, as a young art and philosophy student at Hamburg's Hochschule für bildende Künste, her working with toxic polyester and fibreglass dealt an early blow to her life and work, suffering serious lung poisoning. She spent a year in hospital recovering, emerging with a determination to put her body at the centre of her art. With a renewed focus on the phenomenological experience, Horn rebuffed the commodity fetish of the art object, and engaged with a notion of artmaking as an endeavour that harbours, not only unforeseen risks, but a series of psychological and physical obstacles. The subjective experience became her chosen instrument. She worked with soft materials, padded body extensions and prosthetic bandages, inspired by her convalescence in hospital. In 1968 Horn produced her first body sculptures, in which she attached objects, materials and instruments to the human body, taking as her theme the contact between a person, their environment and surrounding space. Einhorn is one of Horn's best known performance pieces comprising of a long horn worn on her head.While it was mainly through her early performances that she explored the relationship between body and space, in her later work, the human body was replaced by kinetic sculptures. In the early 1980s, Horn began making these kinetic sculptures that moved by the force of a motor, taking on their own life and eliminating the need for the body to animate the her materials and shapes. The present work, Turm der Fliehenden Bücher from 1994, comprises of metal rods stacked tall against one another which in turn support three motors each of which has an open book and feather attached. Animated by the motors, the feathers flutter and softly rustle the pages of the texts that are splatted with ink. 'For me, all of these machines have a soul because they act, shake, tremble, faint, almost fall apart, and then come back to life again. They are not perfect machines. ...I'm interested in the soul of a thing, not the machine itself. ...It's the story between the machine and its audience that interests me' (the artist in: Rebecca Horn, New York 1993, p. 18).Feathers first began appearing in Horn's work as components in elaborate props and costumes, even becoming the sculptures in their own right. Feathers and other materials that were used in her kinetic sculptures could be liberated from their ordinarily defined materiality and transposed into ever-changing metaphors that touched on mythical, historical, literary and spiritual imagery. Literature and poetry also held important prominence in Horn's work; her own written poetry often inspired her work and she encouraged the viewer to constantly consider the important relationship between art and literature. She felt that viewers would consider a painting as art and a book as literature, but by combining the two in a single work, Horn asks us to consider these definitions and how the two relate and interact. The author, Jeanette Winterson, has described Horn as performing a role akin to an artist-inventor or alchemist, and as possessing an ability to produce artworks that conjure powerful forces and emotions. Horn's work resides in many major public institutions worldwide including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Tate Collection, London, the Centre Pompidou, Paris and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, among many others. She is one of very few artists whom have been selected to participate in Documenta on four separate occasions. During the last six decades Rebecca Horn has become a key figure in a moment for art that challenged and changed formal ideas.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * AR TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Percy Thomas Maquiod (1852-1925)/Design for Act I Scene 3 of Sir Herbert Tree's production of 'Henry VIII', 1910/acrylic, 30cm x 33cm/Note: The production of Henry VIII at His Majesty's Theatre in 1910 became the most celebrated of all Tree's great spectacles and the banquet scene in Wolsey's palace perhaps the most famous scene ever staged by him. Tree's productions were conceived as pageants in which historical periods were accurately recreated. On the annotations on this design Maquoid, who was an authority on historical detail, records some of his sources. Michael R Booth in his Victorian Spectacular Theatre (1981) gives a full account of this production and its creation. The banquet tables were laden with 235 props 'all exact copies taken either from originals in museums or paintings in the National Gallery'. In the centre we see the canopied seat for Tree as Cardinal Wolsey about to pledge 'the company with a goblet of wine' after a choir had sung a grace. This was the production that Tree took to New York in 1916/Provenance: The drawing came from Ellen Terry's niece Phyllis Neilson, daughter of Fred Terry (1864-1932) whose second husband was Heron Carvic who left it to Julie Nightingale, who worked for Sir Roy Strong at the V&A and bequeathed it to him. Ellen Terry played Katherine of Aragon in Irving's 1892 production of the play for which this must be a design. The set is a banqueting hall with Wolsey left raising his goblet in a toast, probably scene IV. A Hall in York Place in which Wolsey presides and the King and his company enter as masquers in disguise. Irving played Wolsey and Ellen Terry Katherine of Aragon

2021 Shepherds Hut Transmission: Mileage:The shepherd's hut (or shepherd's wagon) was, since the 15th century and into the 20th century, used by shepherds during sheep raising and lambing, primarily in the United Kingdom and France. They often had iron wheels and corrugated iron tops. Sometimes the sides were also made of corrugated iron.Use of shepherd's huts by farmers reached a peak in the late 19th century and dwindled in the 20th century with the advent of mechanised farm machinery and electric power reaching even remote farms. Their use persisted in some northern counties in the United Kingdom, particularly Westmoreland and Northumberland, where the terrain of the uplands supports little else but sheep farming.There have been numerous different materials used to construct shepherd's huts and after World War I, when metal was in short supply the chassis were often built with wood and the sides built with interlocking planks of larch or spruce. Sometimes the roof covering would be constructed from felt and tar and insulated with lambswool. Cast iron wheels were frequently recycled from other farm machinery. The shepherd's hut was a kitchen, dining room, bedroom, sitting room and storeroom all rolled into one. The designs vary but all were constructed to provide the shepherd with practical and durable accommodation. The old huts had a stove in one corner for warmth and cooking, and a window on each side so the shepherd could see the flock. A hinged stable door, which was always positioned away from the prevailing wind, enabled him to hear the flock, and strong axles with cast iron wheels were used to withstand the constant movement from field to field. This brand new Shepherds Hut which measures 18ft X 8ft is custom made with box section metalwork chassis on a turntable with drawbar. It has stud work walls, floor & ceiling insulated with organic recycled sheeps wool with an engineered oak floor over. It has textured hand painted redwood internal cladding walls with a Tongue and Groove barrel roof, oak featheredge cladding to the exterior and oak double width steps. The owner has bestowed this wonderful Hut with bespoke hardwood doors and windows with five lever locks to the door and hand forged window furniture. For those who like to be cosy on those chilly evenings/days, a delightful ‘Hobbit’ wood burner has been installed to full HETAS regulations. Four double sockets and four vintage LED style wall lights have also been installed with two bulkhead lights to the exterior to finish off that authentic look and feel. A fitted kitchenette with base level units and worktop, including hot water heater, Belfast sink and tap (will need connecting to mains drainable and water supply) has been installed to complete the interior aspect of this traditional Shepherds Hut. The Hut doesn’t include any groundwork, mains connections, or installation, all of which can be quoted separately. Also buyers please not that this Shepherds Hut does not include, any interior props or free standing furniture which can be seen in the photographs or whilst on display. *Delivery within a 50 mile radius (only ‘Standard’ delivery with easy access) £600.00 is being offered by the owner.

Lotto Rug West Anatolia, 17th century The terracotta field with typical mustard medallions enclosed by a lattice framed by indigo borders of geometric devices and S motif outer guard stripes, 168cm by 110cm Rugs of this design take their name from the Venetian artist Lorenzo Lotto (1480-1557). The artist used rugs of this distinctive pattern as props in a number of his paintings. Evidently, by the beginning of the 16th century 'Lotto' rugs and carpets had been imported into Northern Italy and beyond from Istanbul and Smyrna. During this period rugs were hugely expensive in Europe and available only to the nobility, the Church and the wealthiest of merchants. They were status symbols. When a nobleman commissioned a painting from a well-known artist, and if he possessed a rug or carpet, the weaving would appear in the painting. Examples of 'Lotto' rugs can be seen in museums including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Met museum in New York.. Both ends have been secured with linen panels sown to the back. Selvedges are placed and outer guard stripes extensively rewoven. Rewoven areas can also be seen in outer part of one side border. Some wear and minor repiling in the field consistent with age.
