Lot 488

A SET OF THREE GEORGE III SILVER-GILT TEA CADDIES LATER MOUNTED AS AN INKSTAND ALL LONDON THE CADDIES PROBABLY SAMUEL WHITFORD I 1768 THE STAND AND LINERS SAMUEL WHITFORD III 1874 the caddies of bombé outline chased to the shoulders with floral swags and to the bases with anthemion between ribbed corners the lids with further floral chasing between ribs gadroon rims and beneath wrythen finials on openwork scroll panel feet two caddies later fitted with removable inkwells the central larger caddy with a divided liner set with a hinged taper holder the shaped oval tray with pen depression and gadroon rims to the concave gallery on similar openwork scroll panel feet 37cm long 2171gr (69oz) excluding two glass inkwells (one damaged) The maker’s mark of a gothic SW (Grimwade No.3807) is of uncertain attribution but usually ascribed to Samuel White or Wheat. Given that Samuel Whitford III was responsible for the stand and liners and that Samuel Whitford II made tea caddies and had a mark very similar to the maker’s mark on these caddies it seems likely that Grimwade No.3807 may be more accurately given to Samuel Whitford I. It might be inferred that these caddies remained in this family of silversmiths (or less likely were returned to the same firm) and more than a hundred years later the work of his grandfather was transformed by Samuel Whitford III into the present inkstand.

TWO PAIRS OF GEORGE III SILVER SNUFFER SCISSORS LONDON 1780 AND 1806 one engraved with a crest within bright-cut borders beaded handles John Booth 1780; and one with plain box and pierced reeded handles Wilkes Booth 1806 17cm longest 175gr (5oz 12dwt) all in The unrecorded maker’s mark IB most frequently found on silver snuffers and asparagus tongs hallmarked in London between the 1760s and the 1780s has been ascribed convincingly by Peter Cameron to John Booth. Until now this mark was often thought to be that of John Buckett (Grimwade p. 453). The latter whose actual name was John Beckett is a most unsuitable candidate however; not only was he sword cutler and belt maker to George III he died in 1767. (Will proved 18 September 1767 National Archives PROB 11/932). John Booth silversmith of St. John’s Square Clerkenwell died in 1787. He was buried on 4 October that year leaving to his eldest son Wilkes Booth (1752/53-1817) of Albemarle Street Clerkenwell silversmith ‘all my Shop Tools and Utensils of Trade for his own sole use.’ (Will proved 4 October 1787 National Archives PROB 11/1157). A week later on 11 October 1787 Wilkes entered his first mark giving his occupation as ‘snuffermaker.’ Wilkes’s brother Richard Booth (1759-1839) a lawyer had several children one of whom was Junius Brutus Booth (1796-1852) who emigrated to the United States where he became the most celebrated American actor of his generation. By his second wife Junius Brutus’s son John Wilkes Booth (1838-1865) assassinated President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre Washington on 14 April 1865.

As the Kuppenheims were of Jewish extraction after 1933 business declined and Nazi persecution saw to the liquidation of the concern in 1939 and the disappearance (by suicide emigration or deportation to the camps) of the family from the jewellery hub that was pre-war Pforzheim.

A JAIN BRONZE FIGURE OF PARSVANATHA WESTERN INDIA DATED SAMVAT 1213/1156 AD seated in padmasana on a cushioned lion throne under a seven-headed cobra canopy flanked by chauri bearers and apsarases kalasa finial at the top inlaid with silver and copper devanagari inscription on the reverse including date 18.5cm high Provenance: Private Collection Italy. Acquired from Ethnoarte Milan about ten years ago. Typical of earlier Jain bronze shrines is the sense of movement in the attendant figures something which is not seen in the more rigid compositions of 16th century shrines. For a closely related Parsvanatha shrine just 20 years later in date in the Victoria and Albert Museum London see inv. no. IM.2-1939. Parsvanatha is the 23rd of the twenty-four Jain tirthankaras and the easiest to identify with his protective cobra canopy which represents very similar iconography to figures of Buddha being sheltered from the great storm under Mucalinda.
