Matthew Barton Ltd.

Lot 565

AN EDWARDIAN SILVER "HOLMS CUP", CRICHTON BROTHERS, LONDON, 1904 the font shaped cup of unusually large size, the bowl flat-chased in Lombardic letters with part of a Benedictine monastic Grace in Latin "Benedictus deus im dona suis ame" above scalework, the stem with a corded border above bold lobes, the footrim with a band of leafage 21cm high, 2129gr (68oz) Provenance: Private European Collector, "The Seawolf Collection", Object No.113 op. cit. (see lot 532 for further details.) The original Holms Cup, also known as the Tudor Cup, is of 1521, with a scallop shell maker"s mark. Early 20th century copies of it by the manufacturing silversmiths Nathan & Hayes of Birmingham and Hatton Garden can be found, although not of the scale nor gauge of the present lot. Crichton Brothers were well known for their stock of both antique and reproduction silver. The progenitor of all these replica Holms Cups appears to have prompted their creation, following the astonishing price it achieved in 1901 of £4100, when sold in Christie"s auction of the Dunn-Gardner collection. It acquired its name since the buyer was John Augustus Holms (1866-1938), a wealthy Paisley solicitor who had made a fortune on the Glasgow Stock Exchange. Later financial difficulties forced the dispersal of Holm"s famous collection, said to rival the Burrell collection. The original cup is now held by the National Museum of Scotland (No.A.1958.301).

Richard Shard Gubbins, Rector of Upham in Hampshire, married Lt.-Col. Edward Tufnell in 1891. Edward Tufnell (1848-1909) was from a political family: his Whig MP grandfather developed Tufnell Park in London, his father was a civil servant and educationist. He himself served as a Conservative MP for South East Essex from 1900-06, before dying at the house leased by the family, Crowhurst Park, Battle. One son, Richard, was also a Conservative MP, but another, Carleton, fell at the Somme. Ellen Tufnell died at 46 Eaton Square, London, the 1911 census recording seven servants in the house of twenty-two rooms. Given her nearby residence, she may well have been familiar with Omar Ramsden"s silver Relic of the True Cross at St Mary"s Bourne Street.

Lot 546

A FRENCH ART DECO SILVER AND ALABASTER TABLE CENTREPIECE, MAURICE DAURAT, PARIS, CIRCA 1930 in three parts, the central alabaster vase of pedestal urn form, rectangular with canted corners, the stylised scroll handles fitted with electric downlights to the interior, with a further light to the base, affixed to a silver stepped socle, the flanking elongated rectangular silver dish holders with vertical ribs, each with an electroplate liner, 950 standard and maker"s marks 99cm long, 37cm high Provenance: Private European Collector, "The Seawolf Collection", Object No.151 and pp.173-175 op. cit. (see lot 532 for further details.) Maurice Daurat (1880-1960) is perhaps best known for his work in pewter. The existence of a drawing of this centrepiece design (Private Collection, illustrated in the Seawolf catalogue p.175), titled "Appareil d"Eclairage / Métal Argenté & Porcelaine Teintée" suggests the original intention was for a centrepiece of porcelain and electroplate. The electrically lit ensemble must have been designed between 1927-1931, the years Daurat lived at the address hand inscribed on the design ("32 Av. de Friedland"), although it is not known when the decision was taken to use the more luxurious materials of silver and alabaster.
