Lot 91
A George III silver swing handled cake basket, by Arthur Annesley, London 1760, of oval form, the wirework frame decorated with applied hops, wheat ears and insects, the swing handle formed of trailing vines, scratch weight '44=3', 35.5cm long, 43oz Arthur Annesley's early career is not well documented. His only mark was entered as a largeworker in 1758. Four years later, in April 1762, The Gentleman's Magazine recorded that he was working as a goldsmith, but had been declared bankrupt at Newcastle Court. There are a number of pieces from this period recorded, including a 1758 sugar box made to the designs of John Linnell that resides in the V and A. There are examples of other baskets by him, often lighter than the one offered above. A very similar, even heavier, 1761 example was sold at Christie's, New York in October 1989. After his bankruptcy, it appears that he promptly moved to Rotterdam where pieces are found bearing his mark (AA with a star) up until 1778. One of the earliest recorded Dutch pieces by Annesley is another basket of 1764. It was sold at Christie's in November 2009 and is a little larger, with slightly more elaborate but very similar decoration to this example. CONDITION REPORT: Tarnished. Surface scratches. Doesn't fit utterly flat, foot rim quite knocked and mishapen. Two, possibly three sections of tendrils and leaves are missing. Two ears have tips missing. One leaf has a tip lost, others bent. Some spots of solder visible, that haven't tarnished as much. Please view images on our website.
Lot 160
An Edwardian silver and enamel box, by Nelson Dawson, London 1902, of rectangular form, the cover with enamel panel depicting a galleon in seas with mermaids and bearing the motto 'A dieu nous donne bonne adventure', 13cm long 11cm wide 5.5cm high Nelson Dawson was a painter before he became a goldsmith. He took up metalwork in 1891 although it is not known where he studied. He attended lectures on enamelling given by Alexander Fisher and apparently passed on the technique to his wife, Edith, originally an artist herself, whom he married in 1893. By 1896, they were producing metalwork and jewellery from their home, The Mulberry Tree in Chelsea. He was principally the designer and draughtsman, his wife, chief enameller, and the pieces were executed by craftsmen in workshops nearby. They built up a good following, including a commission from Queen Victoria, and by 1900 had established themselves at larger premises at Swan House, Chiswick and a workshop in Hammersmith Mall, where they employed up to twenty craftsmen, including Edward Spencer who was Dawson's chief assistant. The Fine Art Society held an exhibition of their work in December 1900 which included 125 pieces of jewellery. The Artificers' Guild was founded in 1901 with the Dawsons and Spencer named as principals. At this stage, all the silver or gold produced carried Nelson Dawson's own makers mark, N.D. He agreed to work exclusively for the Guild for the next five years, but it failed financially and he resigned in 1903, after apparently not being able to work successfully with Edward Spencer. The Guild was sold as a going concern to Montagu Fordham, a successful businessman who had previously been the director of the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft. The Dawsons continued to design metalwork and jewellery with Edith working on most of the enamels. They gave up metalwork to concentrate on their painting in 1914. CONDITION REPORT: General wear to the silver including small dents to the lid. Exterior hall marks are rubbed. Enamel has some internal fractures consisting of a few fine lines. Very small piece of enamel missing to gap between second right hand large sails (might have been always absent). Please view additional images (upon request).
