Lot 83

A Continental cream silk and florentine gold panel, possibly Flemish or French, (Of Royal Interest) second half 17th century, lavishly embroidered in flossed silks and gilt metal purl, with seven cartouches; the outer four depicting the Four Evangelists, the inner three, John the Baptist, St. Michael, and St Paul. The panel is also embroidered with fruits including pomegranates, figs and flowers including tulips and irises, laid on oak panel, the size of the panel from the front is 54.5cm x 67.7cm, glazed and framed. The reverse bearing an inscribed paper label ‘Belonged to the Queen of Bohemia, daughter of James I, given to Clement Winstanley Esq by Lord Craven, Coombe Abbey’. It also bears a reframing label from the Hans Gallery to Captain Winstanley. This panel is probably the part of a bed head board or a central section from the hangings of the master bed. See Upholsterers and Interior Furnishings in England, Geoffrey Beard, Yale Press 1997, pp 112, 117, 123. The embroidery is of high quality, and likely to have been worked by a professional workshop in Europe. Pritchard, Frances, All that Glistens Is Not Gold, Text: For the Stufy of Textile Art Design and History , Vol. 35, 2007-8, pp. 16-20, ‘Silver and silver gilt threads were very popular during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to judge from surviving examples...A rich medley of metal threads, spangles and foil were often used to special effect on embroideries’ ‘textiles enriched with metal thread were status symbols intended for special occasions’. Lanto Synge, Antique Needlework , Bandford Press, Dorset 1982, Chapter4 The Seventeenth Century pp. 58-91 p.58 - ‘The precision of the designs and the quality of the stitchery suggest that a good deal of this needlework was made professionally. Like the many formal New Year gifts given to Elizabeth I, it is probable that some articles were made in workshops for presentation purposes.’ Various resources have been checked including Elizabeth’s funeral arrangements codicil, roll of accounts, great wardrobe, letters to Elizabeth Broughton, letters to Sir Edward Nicholas 1655-56, Lord Shaftsbury’s accounts on her arrangements for her final days, letters to Lord Craven, and Account books of purchase gifts. In a letter to Sir Edward Nicholas from Elizabeth of Bohemia 1655-1659, 16th May 1659 it is stated that ‘I have today gaven my neeces the last of my flemysh treasures of embroideryd cloths of gold’ (British Library No MS2548). Her codicil states that the finery of her funeral procession should be ‘that of the fynest silk velvet and silk adorned with palatine embroidery’ (National Archives No A01/2354176). It is possible that this could have been a gift upon her marriage to Frederick V, Elector Palatine. . Provenance: A descendant of the Winstanley family, Braunstone Park, Leicestershire, of which there are a number of Clement Winstanleys. James Winstanley purchased the estate in 1649, for the sum of £6,000. The Winstanley’s played a vital role in determining the future economic and social history of their properties in and around Braunstone for the next 275 years. They had a reputation for being fair-minded and judicious, holding important roles as leading dignitaries in The Leicester Corporation. Their decisions influenced the lives of the communities of both Braunstone and Leicester. James Winstanley was a puritan and a lawyer by profession in the service of the Duchy of Lancaster before taking up residence in Braunstone. He and his wife Catherine had three children. James Winstanley was a member of Grey’s Inn and the Recorder of Leicester, a position he held until his failure to conform in 1662. While in office he Proclaimed Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector. He died in 1666 and the estate passed to his eldest son Clement. Clement like his father was a member of Grays Inn and his wife was also called Catherine. Clement died in 1672 and was buried in the family vault under the alter of the 12th century church of St. Peter’s in Braunstone village. Their eldest son James became the third Winstanley to inherit the estate. He was also a member of Grays Inn and M.P. for Leicester. James married Frances, daughter of James Holt of Castleton. James was succeeded by his son, another Clement, who held the Office of High Sheriff of Leicester. His wife was Jane Parkins sister of the First Baron Rancliffe of Bunny, Nottinghamshire. He died in 1808. The next to become heir was their eldest son Clement, J.P. Lieutenant - Colonel of the Leicestershire Militia from 1802-9. He died unmarried in 1855. The estate passed to his nephew James Beaumont, High Sheriff of Leicester. He was only thirty when he mysteriously disappeared while abroad in Europe. In 1862, the body of James Beaumont was discovered and as he was unmarried the estate for the first time went to a female member of the family, his sister, Anna Jane Pochin. Anna Jane was married to Commander Ralph George Pochin R.N. of Barkby. In 1904 she relinquished the estate in favour of her son Richard Norman Pochin, who changed his name by deed poll to Winstanley. In 1925 the Winstanley land was largely sold for housing development. This item has passed by descent from Captain Richard Innes Winstanley who was born in 1911. ‘The Queen of Bohemia’ and Lord Craven. Elizabeth Stuart (19 August 1596 - 13 February 1662) was the eldest daughter of James VI and I King of Scotland, England and Ireland, and Anne of Denmark. Among Elizabeth’s suitors was King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. However Elizabeth married Frederick V, Elector Palatine, she was Electress Palatine and briefly Queen of Bohemia. Frederick’s rule was extremely brief, and thus Elizabeth became known as the “Winter Queen”.. Driven into exile, the couple took up residence in The Hague and Frederick died in 1632. Elizabeth remained in Holland even after her son, Charles I Louis, regained his father’s electorship in 1648. Following the Restoration of the English and Scottish monarchies, she travelled to London to visit her nephew, Charles II and died while there. Elizabeth was educated at Coombe Abbey in the early 17th century with Lord Harington. Had the Gunpowder Plot succeeded she was to have been abducted from Coombe Abbey and proclaimed as Queen Elizabeth II. In 1632 William Craven (1627-65) went to the continent to fight for the dispossessed king of Bohemia, Frederick V, in defense of the Rhenish Palatinate. Whilst there he began a lifelong devotion to Elizabeth. Craven was taken prisoner in 1637 and ransomed himself. He joined Elizabeth, widowed ‘Winter Queen’ of Bohemia, in exile in the Hague. Owing to the overthrow of the Monarchy in England at this time, they were not able to return, and had to remain on the continent until the restoration in 1660. In 1651 the wrath of the Commonwealth was brought to bear on Lord Craven for his continued support of the Stuart cause. His estates were confiscated and sold, and some of the houses were demolished. Combe Abbey, however, escaped this fate as it had been settled on Lord Craven’s heirs. With the restoration of Elizabeth’s nephew, Charles II In 1660, Lord Craven with Elizabeth, whom it is rumoured to have secretly married, returned to England. Lord Craven’s property was returned to him by Charles II, Charles was not willing to provide a house for his aunt, and so Elizabeth lived in Drury House, Lord Craven’s town house. It is believed that Ashdown House, built for Lord Craven was intended for Elizabeth, however she died before it was completed. Craven was a staunch supporter of the royalist cause, providing both Charles I and Charles II with financial aid. He was created Earl of Craven in 1665 having been Baron Craven since 1627. On the 23rd of February, 1662, Elizabeth died and left Lord Craven her collection of
