Garden Seats: A near pair of Arts and Craft carved Cotswold stone seats, early 20th century, 176cm wide and 192cm wide Provenance: Owlpen Manor House, Dursley. This and the following lot are probably one of the earliest lots acquired for the collection at a house sale of the contents of Owlpen Manor House, Dursley, conducted by the auctioneers Bruton Knowles in July 1924. (See picture of ad). The original Tudor mansion was remodelled a number of times and these distinctive seats in the popular Arts and Crafts style date to the early 20th century.

Lot 41
Garden Statues: An Austin and Seeley composition stone greyhound, 2nd half 19th century, 57cm high by 100cm long Felix Austin went into business in 1828 having bought moulds from a firm that had gone out of business. He established works in New Road, London, describing himself variously as an architect, statuary mason and sculptor as well as artificial stone maker. His material was not the same as the ceramic body used by Mrs Coade but made from Portland cement, broken stone, pounded marble and coarse sand (The Builder 1868). However, like Mrs Coade, he encouraged leading architects and designers to work for him. Around 1840 he entered into partnership with John Seeley. Seeley had trained at the Royal Academy Schools and also made an artificial stone which he called artificial limestone, before entering into partnership with Austin. In 1841 they published their first catalogue, Pleasure Grounds etc. from their address in New Road. The preface begins “Austin’s Artificial Stone is of a light tint, requires no painting or colouring, will not sustain injury from the severest winter, and, being impervious to wet, is particularly applicable to all kinds of water works. Its superiority is now so thoroughly established, that the most eminent architects and scientific gentlemen have expressed, in their highest terms, their approbation of its durability, and close resemblance to the real stone”. The Cotswold Collection. See lot 1 for further information.
Lot 9
Staddlestones: An unusually large and rare harlequin set of carved Cotswold stone staddlestones, the largest 91cm high Staddlestones were used from medieval times onwards as supporting bases for granaries, hayricks and game larders. The staddlestones lifted the granaries above the ground thereby protecting the stored grain from vermin and water seepage. In Middle English staddle or stadle is stathel, from Old English stathol, a foundation, support or trunk of a tree.The Cotswold Collection. See lot 1 for further information.

Lot 105
A very rare delftware charger, dated 1703Probably London, with an everted rim and turned foot, painted in blue and yellow outlined in black with a windmill, the stone tower inscribed with the date '1703', before three cottages with distinctive fenestrated gable ends, smaller buildings and tall green sponged trees in the distance, similarly sponged bushes in the foreground, a blue line inside the 'blue dash' border around the rim, the back with a lead-tin glaze wash, 35cm diamFootnotes:A very similar charger decorated with a virtually identical scene dated 1704, no doubt from the same workshop, is in the Colonial Williamsburg Collection (accession no. 1937-200) and is illustrated by Lipski and Archer, Dated English Delftware (1984), p.36, no.88. Lipski and Archer note that this charger bears a number of similarities to two groups of English chargers - those painted with full-length portraits of William III similarly outlined in manganese with similar sponged tress in bright green, and 'blue dash' chargers painted with portraits of Queen Anne seated with her generals. It is interesting to note that, in common with the William III chargers, both the present charger and that in the Colonial Williamsburg Collection have tin-glaze washes to the back.A 'blue dash' dish attributed to London painted in a very similar palette and style with a figure on horseback is illustrated by Leslie B Grigsby, The Longridge Collection of English Slipware and Delftware (2000), Vol.2, p.64, no.D31 where it is suggested that this distinctive group may have been produced by a single individualistic workshop in England for a short period during the first decade of the 18th century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
