Linda Brunker (b.1966) FLOW, 1995. bronze; (no. 2 from an edition of 5) signed with intials, dated and numbered Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner. 'Linda Brunker New York', American Irish Historical Society, New York, 9-20 May 1995, and Allied Irish Bank, New York, 23 May - 13 June 1995. Linda Brunker has been a full-time sculptor since graduating from NCAD in 1988. She has developed her own innovative style of bronze casting. She has had many solo shows in Dublin, New York and Los Angeles and has completed private and public commissions worldwide. Public commissions include Voyager, a large female figure made from a filigree of bronze elements from the sea which overlooks the Pacific Ocean at the Montage Hotel in Laguna Beach, California, The Wishing Hand at the Department of Education, Marlborough Square, Dublin, and Two For Joy, Garda Síochána, Bray, Co. Wicklow.From her studios in Southern California and Dublin she makes sculptures on all scales from monumental corporate and public sculptures to small tabletop pieces in bronze or stone. Her sculptures are predominantly based on the human form. She typically incorporates elements taken from nature such as leaves, feathers or shells to create images “composed into flowing shapes which echo the rhythms of wind, fire and water.”"In Linda Brunker’s elegant sculptures, masses of natural forms, from leaves to starfish, bear the imprint of human, usually female, heads and bodies. They are emblematic of the structural patterns that connect not just living things but all forms on all scales, from microscopic to cosmic. The work is technically impeccable and often ingenious......" Aidan Dunne, The Irish Times, 1996. 51.50 by 20.50in. (130.8 by 52.1cm)

These salvers are listed with other items in a bill addressed to 'Jas. Leigh Esq' from Elizabeth Godfrey, 'Goldsmith & Jeweller to his Royal Highness ye Duke of Cumberland at ye Hand Ring & Crown in Norris Street, St. James's Hay Market,' 22 February 1755, as follows: '2 Neat Pold.

Betew.' (The original of this bill is among the Brydges family papers, Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, Stratford-upon-Avon) Elizabeth Godfrey (née Panten [sic]) was married to her first husband, the silversmith Abraham Buteux (1698-1731) at St. Paul's Cathedral on 11 February 1720. Their son, the above-mentioned 'Abm Betew' [Abraham Buteux junior] was born in 1722. Following her husband's death, Mrs Buteux was married for a second time at St. Benet, Paul's Wharf on 6 February 1732 to the silversmith Benjamin Godfrey, a bachelor. Arthur Grimwade (London Goldsmiths, p. 524) suggests that the latter had been a journeyman to Mrs. Buteux. Widowed a second time when Godfrey died in 1741, she herself died in 1771, survived by her sons Abraham (d. 1776) and Panton (d. 1799) and daughter Hester Betew [Buteux] (d. 1774/76). Panton Betew's will was proved on 19 July 1799 (National Archives, PROB 11/1326) by his executor, Lewis Pantin junior (Grimwade, p. 613 : Lewis Pantin III).
