Lot 103

A Victorian soup tureen, liner and cover The Barnards, London 1845, of baluster bombe form, applied cast acanthus, floral and C-scroll decoration throughout, with a centrally applied marital Armorials of Campbell and Bannerman, the scroll handles with applied similar decoration, raised on four foliate bold scroll feet, the pull-off lid with an interlooped handle numbered 2, with a plain liner, loop handles(Height: 35cm, weight: 201.8oz)Footnote: Heraldry Arms: (on the dexter) Quarterly 1st and 4th Gyronny of eight or and sable (for Campbell) 2nd and 3rd Argent a lymphad her sails furled and oars in action all sable flag and pennants flying gules (for Lorn) (on the sinister) Gules a banner displayed bendwise argent thereon a canton azure charged with a St Andrew’s Cross of the second (for Bannerman) Crest: A boar’s head couped or (for Campbell) Motto: Ne oblivis caris [Do not forget] (for Campbell) At the time of the manufacture of this tureen, Sir James bore these arms without authority, the arms being those of Campbell, Duke of Argyll. In order to correct this heraldic anomaly, he matriculated arms twice at the Court of the Lord Lyon, firstly on the 2nd September 1859 [Lyon Register – Volume 6, folio 15] and secondly on the 5th January 1869 [Lyon Register – Volume 8, folio 18]. Both these matriculations recognised Sir James in the territorial designation of ‘Campbell of Stracathro’. Note: The Victorian era epitomised social mobility. The wealth rapidly generated by individuals created new personal legacies and this was displayed through their charitable donations as well as their domestic settings, which were most often on a grandiose scale. The scale of this soup tureen in what would have been the latest fashion is a clear demonstration of success and wealth. The owner, Sir James Campbell was born into humble origins in 1790, but elevated his status as rose through the social ranks in classic Victorian fashion. Having been apprenticed to McLachlan & McKeand, who managed warehouse facilities in Glasgow, Campbell learnt his craft quickly and at the age of 20 started a clothier business with Matthew Paterson. Eventually, with his brothers, they formed J & W Campbell & co. which also retailed in drapery and dry goods. The success of his business ventures led to the post of Lord Provost of the City of Glasgow between 1840-43. He settled in Glasgow first at Kelvinside House, and then at Bath Street with his wife, who he married in 1822, where they had six children. Campbell’s investments in his work and personal life led to him becoming a well-respected member of society and his efforts were rewarded in 1843 when he was invited to St. James’s Palace to receive the accolade Knight Bachelor from Queen Victoria. In the space of one generation, the Campbell family had elevated their social status and this continued even further with the next generation; Campbell’s second son born 1836, Henry Campbell- Bannerman, became the First Lord of the treasury and Prime Minister of the Liberal Party in 1899-1905. In order to showcase newfound success overt displays of wealth were fashionable and what better way to do so than choose one of the most established silversmiths in London. The Barnard’s would become one of the great dynasties of British silver, able to trace their roots back to 1680 with Anthony Nelme, some of the most prominent silversmiths have been linked to the business over the years including Thomas Whipham, Thomas Chawner and the Emes silver dynasty. By 1910 the firm was converted into a limited liability company and in 1977 became a subsidiary of Padgett & Braham Ltd. (Pg29 The Directory & Silversmiths… John Culme’). Famous for reproducing iconic museum specimens such as The Warwick vase, the copy itself is now in the collections of the Victoria & Albert (2013,8016.1.a-b), the company was able to attract wealthy clients with their pre-manufactured wares, which in turn led to bespoke commissions. Pre-made casts and dies form part of the comprehensive archive which also includes corporate, financial and staff records; purchase, order, letter, stock and pattern books, all of which can now be found in the Victoria & Albert archives (reference: AAD5-1988, AAD7-1989.) While the Barnards produced a wide range of silver from small christening cups, table and tea wares their real skill can best be seen with the commissions requested from their clients. Their relationship with their clients can clearly be seen in their attention to detail, Lot 469 from The Ballyedmond Collection at Sotheby’s auction house on the 23rd May 2017, ‘A Soup Tureen of 1827’ has an impressive horse finial, achieving £7500 and lot 87 from a Bonham’s Silver auction on the 12th November 2014, A pair of Tureens with the finials modelled as wheatsheaves, plough harrow, barrow and a basket which made £31,250, indicate individual commissions with specific requests. By the time of the production of this soup tureen the firm had settled at Angel Street, St. Martin’s-le-Grand, right in the City of London off Cheapside. With members of staff skilled at casting, engraving and forging, the factory would have been a hive of activity. A personalised aspect of the tureen is the armorial fashioned by John Campbell it directly mirrors that of the Duke of Argyll. At the time of the manufacture of this tureen, Campbell bore these arms without authority, the arms being those of Campbell, Duke of Argyll. In order to correct this heraldic anomaly, he matriculated arms twice at the Court of the Lord Lyon, firstly on the 2nd September 1859 [Lyon Register – Volume 6, folio 15] and secondly on the 5th January 1869 [Lyon Register – Volume 8, folio 18]. Both these matriculations recognised Sir James in the territorial designation of ‘Campbell of Stracathro’. Campbell’s aspirations were never out of reach and two years after the commission of the tureens in 1847 the Campbell’s moved to an impressive estate in Stracathro. "Country Houses of Scotland," by John Connachan-Holmes, describes Stracathro "amongst the first rank of neo-classical architecture" and would have been a fitting home for such an impressive piece of silverware.

The Anson Service -An important George II serving dish Paul de Lamerie, London 1747, of scalloped oval outline with cast gadrooned border and foliate detail at intervals, armorial engraved to the raised rim, engraved to reverse, scratch weight, 22=10(Diameter: 28cm, weight: 20.3oz)Footnote: Provenance: Presumed Christie's 8th May 1893 auction Reputed to have been a gift to a member of staff at Fordell House in Fife Thence by descent Heraldry: Arms: Quarterly 1st and 4th Argent three bends engrailed gules in the sinister chief a crescent of the last (for Anson) 2nd and 3rd Sable a bend or between three spear heads argent (for Carrier) Motto: Nil desperandum [Never despair] Supporters: (Dexter) A sea-horse (Sinister) A sea-lion both proper and each gorged with a collar double gemel or the arms are ensigned with a baron’s coronet of rank. Note: George Anson (1697-1762), 1st Baron Anson, the famous Admiral who circumnavigated the globe in four years and captured Spanish Treasure to the value of approximately half a million pounds, and later elevated to Baron Anson of Soberton, from 1751 till his death in 1762 he was First Lord of the Admiralty. This serving dish forms part of a much larger service which included tureens, plates and inkstands, named the ‘Anson Service’, which would have been specifically commissioned and built up over a period of time. Crafted by one of the most regarded silversmiths of the day Paul de Lamerie, this serving plate forms part of an important part of the history of early 18th Century silver. George Anson was regarded as the Father of the British Navy and was key at introducing reform and even introduced the structure of naval uniforms. Participating in significant battles such as the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War, his efforts closer to home Anson prevented a French invasion on British shores in 1759. Further afield, by 1760, he had assisted in capturing Canada, Senegal and Guadeloupe from the French. Anson’s most celebrated victory was the 1843 capture of a Spanish treasure ship sailing from Manila to Acapulco with a cargo of nearly half a million pounds, and it has been reputed that there were 2,600,000 Pieces of Eight, 150,000 ounces of plate, 10 bars of Gold, and a large quantity of gold and silver dust aboard. The treasure was so vast that it was paraded through the streets of London on the way to the King in thirty-two wagons. Following his three-year circumnavigation of the globe concluding in London in June 1744 and the successes of his naval pursuits he was elevated to the peerage as Baron Anson of Soberton. To mark this occasion, he invested his wealth in the family estate at Shugborough in Staffordshire and his home Moor Park in Hertfordshire adding further silverware to the collection. In fact, this plate hallmarked in 1747 matches the date of his elevation to Baron and emphasises the importance of silver to Georgian society. The epitome of Georgian wealth Anson is captured in portraits by Thomas Hudson and, currently in the National Portrait Gallery, a portrait after Joshua Reynolds. Anson died without issue and the house being regarded of National importance was laterally entrusted to the National Trust. Parts from the service can still be found in their collection at Shugborough, including a pair of salvers (NT 1271250.1 and .2) and a meat plate (NT 1271293). The Victoria and Albert Museum also display an inkstand as part of the Gilbert Collection (LOAN:GILBERT.664:1-2008) These examples and more were all crafted by Paul de Lamerie, who was an obvious early 18th-Century choice to produce the finest silverware. De Lamerie was born in the Netherlands to Huguenot parents, but the family fled religious persecution on the continent and settled in England. He became a freeman of the Goldsmith's Company, London and registered his hallmark in 1712. The continental and in particular French influence of the Roccoco style was to heavily inspire his work especially from the 1730s and he became perhaps the finest designer and maker working in this style. He was regarded as one of the most famous silversmiths of his age due to his craftsmanship and this was aided his business acumen. With most work based on commissions, these important connections helped his reputation, becoming known as the King’s silversmith for the numerous commissions for the Royal Households. Other key clients included Catherine the Great, who commission a wine cistern of 1726, still housed in the Hermitage, (pg 77, Paul de Lamerie, At the Sign of the Golden Ball, An Exhibition of the Work of England's Master Silversmith) and the Walpole salver for Robert Walpole. A remarkably finely engraved salver with the design of the Second Exchequer Seal of George I, housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum (M.9-1956). Although working mainly on commissions, his shop based at 40 Gerrard Street from 1738 stocked further delights for the eye to behold. The majority of the Anson service was sold at auction on the 8th May in 1893 by Christie’s and is rarely at auction, but when it appears it still attracts much interest. In 2010, Sotheby’s offered a piece from the service, which had appeared in the 1893 auction, lot 195, ‘A snuffer’s tray’ which achieved USD$50,000, other appearances of the Anson Service include the 2012 Christies sale of the ‘Property from the Estate of Benjamin F. Edwards II’ where a pair of sauceboats, lot 2591 achieved USD$43,750 In 2008, as part of The Chen Collection, Lyon & Turnbull sold ‘A pair of George II silver circular serving dishes’ (lot 197, 23rd November 2008, The Chen Collection), which had formed part of the Anson service, for £26,250 (inc. premium).
