A PAIR OF GEORGE IV SILVER CHAMBERSTICKSJOSEPH ANGELL I, LONDON 1781With foliate baluster capitals, a lead capped scroll handle, shaped circular moulded borders with shells and foliage at intervals, engraved with a crest and on three pad feet, the snuffers conforming16cm (6 1/4in) long744g (23.9 oz)This is the crest associated with the arms of the THOROTON family of Thoroton, Great Crophill and Car Colston, Nottinghamshire. The family are well known in Nottinghamshire as a result of the multi-volume publication the Antiquities of Nottinghamshire (1677) of the work of the antiquarian Dr Robert THOROTON (1623-1678) of Cars Colton. Today a learned society (The Thoroton Society) still exists that promotes antiquarian research in Nottinghamshire.  The owner of these chambersticks were likely to be Thomas THOROTON (1723-1794) of Screveton, Nottinghamshire. He married Roosila DRAKE illegitimate daughter of John MANNERS (1696-1779) 3rd Duke of Rutland by his mistress Elizabeth DRAKE. The couple and their family lived at Belvoir Castle or Rutland Gate. He later purchased Flintham Hall. Thomas was an MP, 1751-1761 for Boroughbridge, 1761-1768 for Newark and 1768-1780 for Bramber. There is also the possibility that the object could belong to his eldest son Col. Thomas THOROTON (1753-1813) born at Belvoir Castle, of Screveton and Flintham Nottinghamshire, who married later in 1784 Anne BOWES (died 1827) eldest daughter of George Wanley BOWES of Thornton Hall, Co. Durham. Condition Report: Marks are clear.

Natural History: Two Late 19th Century Armorial Green Sea Turtle Shells (Chelonia Mydas), two very large adult Green Sea turtle shells, each paintedTyerman example 72.5cm by 91cm Warrenne example 75.5cm by 92cmWith CITES A10 (non-transferable) licence nos. 627004/01 and 627033/02Of the two, one is marked with the coat of arms of the Tyerman family and the other the assumed coat of arms of the Warren family. It is a possibility that the shells relate to husband and wife, Albert Henry Warren of Chelsea (1830-1911), and Augusta Warren née Tyerman (1831-1909). Albert Henry Warren was described in the census as an “Artist and Ornamental Designer” and wrote A Guide to Beginners on the Art of Illuminating (1860) which advises students on “heraldic methods of expressing colours”. Warren was the son of Henry Warren (1794–1879), one-time President of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and a painter specialising in oriental subjects inspired by David Roberts RA RBA who was famous for his works depicting Tangiers, Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai, Jordan, and Lebanon.It is a possibility that Albert Henry Warren painted on these Green Sea Turtle shells possibly to homage his father’s presidency of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and his father’s celebrated picture, The Return of the Pilgrims from Mecca, c. 1847-1848 which was praised for its “Eastern and Egyptian character” (Literary Gazette and Journal of Belles Lettres, Arts, Sciences, &c., 1848). See Christie’s, London, 29 April 2019, Orientalist Art, lot 1. The Loggerhead Sea Turtle is native to the Mediterranean Sea which borders the northern coast of Egypt and the eastern shore of Lebanon – places Warren’s father made a successful career painting. By doing so, Warren may well be aligning himself closer to his father’s oriental art career, and therefore position in the echelons of London’s art society, while insinuating his family’s name as that of an ancient family. Warren after all was fascinated in heraldry reflecting wider middle-and upper-class Victorian fascinations of heraldic symbols and meanings.In Fairbairn's Book of Crests, 1905 ed, p. 37., it records a coat of arms for a ‘Warren-Warren, John Rosier, Esquire’ formed from the Warren coat of arms and Tyerman coat of arms. John Rosier Warren was born in 1862 and was the son of Albert and Augusta Warren.
