EDINBURGH PHRENOLOGICAL INTEREST - AN EARLY 19TH CENTURY AMERICAN SILVER TWO HANDLED PRESENTATION VASE JAMES THOMSON, NEW YORK CIRCA 1839 marked to the underside four times 'Jas Thomson', the rising bold leaf clasped handles to a baluster vase shaped body, decorated with leaf framed cartouches framing profiles of gentlemen related to The Phrenological Society, central cartouche engraved inscription to George Combe from students at lectures in New York 1839 and praising his knowledge, leaf clasped stem to a spreading foot with framed vignettes of various animals and birds, further engraved round the foot rim stating Thomson awarded a medal from the American Institute for the quality of workmanship in the vase, contained in the original fitted mahogany box, hinged lid, brass carry handles, together with the original hand written list of subscribers 41.5cm high including stand, 47oz Note: George Combe born and named after his father in Edinburgh. After attending the High School of Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh, Combe entered the legal profession in 1804, and in 1812 he began his own practice. The Combe family lived together at 25 Northumberland Street in the New Town until at least 1833. He founded the Edinburgh Phrenological Society in 1820 and was the author of the highly influential The Constitution of Man (1828). The Edinburgh Society was the first and foremost phrenological grouping in Great Britain; more than forty phrenological societies followed in other parts of the British Isles. The Society's influence was greatest over the next two decades but declined in the 1840s; the final meeting was recorded in 1870. At the home of the Phrenology museum in Chamber's Street in Edinburgh there are four heads at the top of the windows, those of Combe, and other leading members, Franz Joseph Gall and Johann Gaspar Spurzheim; these appear to be the same as the ones on the piece offered here for sale. James Thomson, silversmith: First recorded in New York in 1834 at 129 William Street NY and later in Brooklyn. He followed his father William in the trade and James' brother, also a silversmith, took control in 1840 and then sold to Zalmon Bostwick around 1845. Thomson was very well respected in the New York trade and made several award-winning pieces including the lot offered here which was awarded a gold medal from the American Institute for Superior Workmanship. One other piece by Thomson which was also a medal winner was the McKeon vase designed by Sculptor Robert Ball Hughes in 1837. Strong similarities can be seen in the decorative work and also the engraving on this vase and the Combe vase.

A RARE SET OF GEORGE III TEA CANISTERS AND SUGAR BOX IN ORIGINAL MAHOGANY CADDY ALEXANDER GAIRDNER, EDINBURGH 1772 each marked to bases, comprising a set of two tea caddies and a sugar box, each of bombe form with bold rococo foliate scrolls to corners and beaded shells clasped to rim, the panels with scroll and foliate formed vacant cartouches with shell and gadrooned rim, each raised on four scroll supports, the slightly domed pull off covers with gadrooned rim and foliate formed panels. Contained in an original flame mahogany veneered caddy of rectangular form with incurved corners, ebonised stringing and brass lock escutcheon, raised on four foliate and paw supports and with hinged scroll handle, all in gilt bronze, the fitted interior with velvet lined apertures for each piece Caddies 12.7cm high, 7.3oz and 7.5oz, Sugar box; 12.5cm high, 9.4oz; Mahogany caddy; (excluding handle) 19.5cm high, 30cm wide Provenance: Sotheby's 12th June 1969, lot 94 Bought by Baroccki, £85 Grandtully Antiques, Perthshire circa 1970's Private Collection References: Compendium of Scottish Silver II, R & J Dietert, page 497 Notes: Produced at the end of the 'Edinburgh's Golden Age of the Goldsmiths art' these caddies show the height of skills practiced by Scottish goldsmiths at the time and expertly portray the rare survival of rococo design in Scotland. The survival of Scottish silver tea caddies pre 1800 is surprisingly rare. Of the references given the example under discussion being one of only two sets of three and the only set still in their original wooden outer caddy. While not all examples would have originally been housed in a wooden caddy any silver caddies without a lock, which covers most pre 1800 examples, would likely have been housed in a wooden caddy as the security of the expensive commodity was essential. It is often mooted that the fashion for rococo design passed Scotland by and that the simple plain lines of the earlier George II / III periods over shone the tastes in Scotland. While rococo is indeed rare and likely not as fashionable with the masses in Scotland items such as these tea caddies expertly show that when offered the opportunity the makers could supply clients who demanded the highest rococo tastes. Although rare some of the finest mid to late 18th century Scottish tea wares, including important examples for Leith race prizes, tea kettles, coffee urns and rare chocolate pots show these fashionable ideas were being created. Alexander Gairdner is a maker often overlooked by collectors due to such contemporaries as William Dempster, William & Patrick Cunningham and Patrick Robertson all of whom were supplying the Edinburgh public at the same time and received many important commissions. Gairdner is no less important just perhaps overlooked at a time of strong competition. He was one of Edinburgh's longest serving goldsmiths working from 1754 (after his apprenticeship to William Aytoun) until his death in 1803, a career of some 49 years perhaps only bettered by the 51 years of James Mitchelson. During this period he took some 14 apprentices, including his son John in 1773. He acted as Deacon of the Incorporation of Goldsmiths of the City of Edinburgh for one term between 1772 - 1774, interestingly when these caddies were made. Gairdner also appears to have been one of a very small handful of Scottish goldsmiths who received Royal patronage, this is noted on the occasion of the marriage of the Prince of Wales to Princess Caroline of Brunswick (8th April 1795), The Caledonian Mercury noted that 'Mr. Gairdner, Jeweller to his Royal Highness for Scotland, had a beautiful representation of the Prince's feathers in small lamps on the front of his shop, which had a very fine effect, and attracted much notice'. He also uses a variant of his maker's mark which features Prince of Wales feathers within the punch., This has so far only been recorded on a very fine Freedom box for the Burgh of Dumfries, given to Sir Henry Dundas.

AN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY JACOBITE PORTRAIT RING unmarked, the oval head with portrait behind glass after Alexis-Simon Belle, in a scalloped silver mount with yellow gold shank, in later leather box head 1cm Note: Portrait rings and other jewellery have been recorded as used and gifted by the Stuart Royal family from as early as King Charles I, to commemorate his execution, to the restoration of King Charles II. This medium, however, was seldom used by the Jacobite court, although some very rare portrait rings of Prince Charles from the mid-18th century and later are known. Much Jacobite jewellery consists of later supporters' jewellery, rather than period pieces, and are not as closely connected to the Court, such as this. This ring is a very rare and early example, depicting the Old Pretender and likely dating to the uprising of 1715 when King James was still the figurehead of the Jacobite cause. The portrait appears to be after the Belle portrait while James III was Prince of Wales in c1700 or the portrait of him immediately after taking the title of King in 1702. While there are similarities to both the fact that James appears to be wearing a wig of white hair rather than as in the portraits his natural hair does show some artistic license. The portrait shows James in the finery associated with his position as rightful King and notably even in such a small scale with his sash of the Order of the Garter, making sure this claim to his Royal lineage is prominent.
