* The Wrest Park Finials: A pair of extremely rare and fine lead lidded finials attributed to John Van Nost: 274cm.; 108ins high overall The garden at Wrest Park, Bedfordshire begun in the 1680's by Antony Grey, 11th Earl of Kent and continued by his son, Henry, created 1st Duke of Kent was one of the grandest and most admired gardens established in England in the first part of the 18th Century. It's roots lay in the Anglo- Dutch gardens of the 1690's and were intended to convey the Grey family's political support of William and Mary and the Glorious Revolution. Among contemporary documents that demonstrate Wrest's high reputation is the record of a garden tour in 1735, in which the gardens were described as " undoubtedly some of ye finest in England". Wrest had already been singled out for praise in 1781 in the Ichnographica Rustica of Stephen Switzer and John Mackay who included it in the fourth edition of his Journey through England in 1724 repeated what was probably the standard view of Wrest when he called it "A very magnificent, noble Seat, with large Parks, Avenues and fine Gardens". Wrest was one of only four estates that appeared in multiple views in Kip and Knyff's Britannia Illustrata. A generation later in 1735 Wrest was one of the earliest great gardens to be published in a large garden plan by John Rocque in which these finials can be seen flanking the entrance to the Duke's Square garden. John van Nost who died in 1729 was from a family of sculptors of Flemish descent. He had his own yard in the Haymarket, London by about 1687 and soon established himself as the leading maker of 'Marble and Leaden figures, Busto's and noble Vases, Marble chimneypieces and curious Marble tables'. John van Nost is recorded as having supplied the two large lead vases, still in the Wrest Bowling Green House and eight lead heads for the Duke of Kent in 1725 , and it is generally accepted that he supplied the impressive lead statue of William III in1710-20 which still stands in front of the Pavilion at Wrest. Stylistically, however, this impressive pair of lead finials with their strongly modelled amorini or cherub heads date to the very early part of the 18th century and were probably commissioned by the 11th Duke prior to his death in 1702. They were cast using the cire perdu or lost wax process which gives a crispness of detail and modelling seldom achieved in later works. The flame terminals, in particular are a tour de force with each flame tendril separately accentuated. By the late 1720's however, both finials were on pedestals dedicated to the 1st Duke's children; Anthony de Grey, Earl of Harrold who died in 1723 and his favourite daughter Annabell who died in 1727. They were placed in the Duke's square garden and removed by the vendors great grandfather when Wrest Park was sold in the late 1930's. A Portland stone sundial attributed to van Nost and originally at Wrest sold by the same family who bought Wrest Park in 1917 and thus with an identical provenance to these finials, was sold by Sotheby's on 15th June 2004. This carried a bronze sundial by the celebrated clockmaker Thomas Tompion. The pedestal is virtually identical to one at Kew Gardens, documented as being made by van Nost, which originally stood a Kensington Palace and was made for William III between 1688 and 1702.
