[§] JOHN DUNCAN FERGUSSON R.B.A. (SCOTTISH 1874-1961)SEATED NUDE Bronze15cm high (6in)Note:Although a later casting of an edition of 9 made from the plaster is known no other example of this lifetime cast has been recorded. John Duncan Fergusson is acclaimed as a pre-eminent member of the Scottish Colourists - a group of four artists that thrived with their shared interest and training in the French art scene. It is strange to think that a Scottish Colourist would choose a medium so restricted in colour, and he was the only of the four to work in three dimensions. Nonetheless, the period of 1918-22 saw the peak of his sculptural output, in which it can be assumed his Seated Nude mould was made. For Fergusson, sculpture presented new, provoking ways to manipulate and experiment with the human form, the physicality of his sculpture as exciting as the colour in his painted works. Lyon & Turnbull are delighted to be offering three sculptural works by the artist in this auction, all of which reveal Fergusson's fascination with the female form. The pose of Seated Nude is atypical, displaying the woman in a stance of meditation. Her legs are crossed, her arms are outstretched, and her head faces intently forwards. Standing Nude is a more typical pose for Fergusson, a strong and statuesque female figure stands with her arms clasped behind her, bringing one elbow to point up to the sky, the other drawing down by her side. While Head of Meg represents, in three-dimensions, the striking features of his long-term partner and muse, the dancer Margaret Morris.In many ways, the bronze figure of Seated Nude resembles icons of non-Western art - a field by which he was greatly influenced. Recall, perhaps, the ample imagery of sitting Buddha statues that can be found throughout the Asian continent. Cambodia and India, in particular, were of interest to Fergusson whose Celtic roots, he believed, were shared with these peoples. His time working in Paris, Edinburgh and London introduced him to museum collections of objects from foreign lands, and his highly intellectual approach to art certainly expanded his world view.Despite the noticeably continental influence on his work, there still remained this Celtic Spirit which he so passionately championed; his newfound interest in sculpture could be likened to the masonry carving of the Celts, his sculptures often suggestive of a certain primitivism in their figuration and handling. During the First World War, Fergusson spent time in Edinburgh directly carving in stone, following attempts in terracotta and clay throughout his stay in Antibes.Fergusson was producing sculpture alongside his modernist contemporaries working in Paris, such as Jacob Epstein and Constantin Brancusi who were all aligned in their similar choice of material and subject. Nonetheless, judged against concurrent work being produced in Britain, Fergusson's sculptural practice was highly unique in its investigation and rendering of the human form. The offered sculptures demonstrate an assured concoction of influences, cultures, and his intellectual outlook on art. They are one of a select group of pointedly under-appreciated, yet fundamental, sculptures from an artist whose work helped shape 20th Century Modernism.

SPEYSIDE 30 YEAR OLD - JOHN CRABBIE & CO. DISTILLERY ACTIVE bottle number 224 of 330, with presentation case and certificate of authenticity 70cl/ 48.6% Note: The name of John Crabbie has its roots in the earliest incarnations of the Scottish whisky industry. The whisky brand has recently been revived and the true spirit of the company brought to a new generation of connoisseurs. Not in a small part due to this award-winning Speyside 30 year old. John Crabbie was a titan of the whisky industry in the early 19th century who built his substantial business through sourcing and selling exceptional whiskies from some of the best known distilleries across Scotland including Laphroaig, Bunnahabhain, Dalmore, Bowmore, Oban and Macallan. From his bonded warehouses in Leith, Crabbie exported whisky throughout the world, developing a reputation for outstanding quality and consistency. He distilled single malt whisky in Leith and Haddington, and in 1885 he, along with Andrew Usher and William Sanderson, founded the North British Distilling Company to produce grain whisky for his revolutionary new blend. By 1897 their new distillery was producing over 13 million litres of grain whisky each year. Like many family whisky brands the Crabbie name disappeared during a period of market consolidation, living on only in the 'ginger wine' created by his wife. However he really must be remembered as a visionary in the whisky trade. His commitment to fine whisky is honoured in the recent bottlings released in his name. The new team behind the reborn John Crabbie & Co have their roots in many of the big names in the Scottish whisky industry including Managing Director David Brown (formerly Dalmore) and have the support of influential figures such as Bob Dalgarno (the former Master Whisky Maker at Macallan). Following in John Crabbies footsteps they have been sourcing exceptional whisky from around Scotland. This 30-year-old Speyside was the first rare cask release under the Crabbie name and is from an 'unknown' Speyside distillery. Although never revealed by the tight lips at John Crabbie & Co, the distinct quality and character of the whisky clearly points to one distillery. Described by David Brown as a "unicorn whisky" which has not been produced since 1988, the Crabbie 30 has found favour with the judges in international competition scooping double gold at the 2018 San Francisco world spirits challenge and Master at the Hong Kong whisky masters the highest possible award.

A NOVELTY BROOCH, BY KUTCHINSKY, CIRCA 1965The stylised gold textured squirrel set with two brilliant-cut diamonds for the eye and a circular-cut sapphire nose, in 18K gold, signed Kutchinsky, London hallmarks, length 4.1cmA family business established in London in 1893, Kutchinsky is well known for its flamboyant and outlandish designs during the 1940s and 50s. The family, who had previously served as jewellers to the court of Ludwig of Bavaria, fled their home country of Poland, before arriving and settling in East London.As a brand, Kutchinsky embraced the spirit of the post-war era producing lavish pieces heavily adorned with diamonds and brightly coloured gems. It is particularly discernible for its slightly wacky animalistic and ornithological figures, usually styled in 18 carat gold, and exemplified by this delightful lot.
AN IMPORTANT DIAMOND NECKLACE, BY GRAFFComposed of articulated links set with round brilliant-cut diamonds throughout weighing approximately 25-30cts, mounted in 18K gold, signed Graff, French import marks, length approximately 42.5cmThe story of Graff is one of a young man who fell in love with diamonds and stopped at nothing to ensure his success. Laurence Graff was apprenticed to a jeweller in London’s Hatton Garden at just 15. It was the start of a passion that would last a lifetime. ‘I have always been fascinated by diamonds,’ he says; ‘I remember looking at them, studying them closely to understand their purity, and the way they had been cut. It was an inherent feeling that has turned in to a lifelong passion.’His first venture was a partnership with another more experienced jeweller repairing Victorian jewellery. During this time, he created his first unique ring using thirty-three small diamonds originally intended for use in individual rings. ‘Instead of making 33 individual rings,’ Graff remembers, ‘I placed them all on one ring, creating a big flash of diamonds. I sold the ring to a jeweller in the north of England, who called me immediately after my return to London to say he had sold the ring and wanted to order another.’The ring triggered a chain reaction of creativity in the young jeweller and Graff Diamonds was established in 1960, opening its first two stores in 1962. Graff became widely known for his unconventional, adventurous pieces which challenged the establishment and channelled the spirit of the 60s. Although the brand was widely acclaimed internationally, it was not until 2000 that Graff opened its first store outside of the UK, beginning with the Hotel de Paris in Monaco. Today the House of Graff has more than fifty stores around the world and remains a family business with Laurence Graff at its head. Of his work he says: ‘I have the same passion and desire for diamonds as I did when I first established Graff. I truly believe I am the luckiest man in the world because I see diamonds every day.’
