Provenance

A DOCUMENTED QUEEN ANNE BRASS

AND FRUITWOOD BED WARMING PAN

BY CHARLES APPLEBEE, C.1710

the domed cover with nurled edge and engraved

with a large central stylised flower within a border of

foliate scrolls, with decorative piercings, inset into an

iron pan with nurled brass rim, the turned and

tapering handle terminating in an acorn finial,

stamped maker's mark

30cm diameter

Catalogue Note

Charles Applebee comes from a family of three

generations of braziers. The first such member

appears to have been John Applebee, to whom his

son Charles was apprenticed in 1683. His son

Charles, in turn, was apprenticed to him in 1733. A

trade card of Charles Applebee gives his address as

'at the Wheatsheaf, Ludgate Hill'. The style and form

of this pan, with an inset lid and turned wooden

handle, suggests that it was made by Charles, son of

John, sometime in the early 18th century.

‘BATTERING SHIPS DESTROYED before GIBRALTAR, SEP 13 1782’, both

with engraved ownership initials ‘EE’ to underside (2)

27cm high

Catalogue Note

Undoubtedly made from Spanish artillery, captured prior the Great Siege of

Gibraltar, 13 September 1782, when Spanish and French forces launched a

massive attack using floating batteries against the British­held fortress. The

‘Grand Attack’ involved ten Spanish floating batteries firing on Gibraltar from

close range, in a sustained bombardment. The British, however, were able to

counter this by using heated cannonballs, which caused fires on the enemy

ships, ultimately leading to the destruction of the batteries.

a wax­filled inscription to socket reads: ‘FREDERICK PAULET COLDSTREAM

GUARDS’ and to foot ‘BALACLAVA SEPT 26TH 1854’

17.7cm high

Catalogue Note

The date on this candlestick refers to when the British Army in Crimea

reached Balaclava and the commander of the small Russian garrison

surrendered. It is highly probable it is made from Russian ordnance which fell

into the victors’ hands. The atypical manufacture, solid cast and turned,

suggest it may have even been made in the field by British military engineers.

The author notes this mark has been tentatively attributed

to two New York makers, William Kirby (fl.1760­1804) and

William Kinby, (1760­1793). However, they are probably

the work of an English brazier, with at least nine braziers

The mark to the underside of this candlestick is not

the maker, as one might expect, but the owner. The

Mermaid Tavern was a large social centre, developed

post 1766, on the west side of Church Street

Hackney, including an inn, assembly room, pleasure

grounds, bowling green and water features. In 1787

William Burden acquired half of the lease, which he

sold in 1794. It was immortalised by satirical

cartoonist Thomas Rowlandson in his cartoon titled

'Hackney Assembly'.

AN IMPORTANT ITALIAN BRONZE HANGING LAMP

PROBABLY 17TH / 18TH CENTURY, AFTER A DESIGN BY GIAN LORENZO BERNINI (1598­1680) FOR THE CHIGI CHAPEL

designed as three flying putti holding aloft a gilded crown formed from eight­pointed stars, on chains

40cm high, 30cm diameter (excluding chains)

Catalogue Note

A near identical ‘eternal’ lamp is in the Chigi Chapel, Church of Santa Maria del Popolo, Rome, designed in 1656/7 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (b.1598­1680).

The lamp was modelled by Peter Verpoorten (d.1659) a Flemish assistant of Bernini, cast by Francuccio Francucci and gilded by Francesco Perone. The

design of the lamp is a symbolic representation of the Virgin’s crown, as well as the Chigi family arms, taking the form of six mountains surmounted by

an eight­pointed star. A similar lamp was created for the Cybo Chapel, the second external nave chapel in the Santa Maria del Popolo to have a dome

and consecrated in 1687. A further copy was made in 1885 for the Palazzo Chigi in Ariccia. Another, lacking the star surmounts to the crown, was

included at the ‘Let There Be Light’ Exhibition, Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford,Connecticut, USA, 1964, item 40. The continued design

of Putti supporting a crown can be clearly seen in an important set of five silver chandeliers commissioned by George II in 1736­7, for Leineschloss,

Hanover and designed by William Kent. Two are at Anglesey Abbey, Cambridge, (NT 516422.1)

thirty years prior to Victoria ascending the throne.

Catalogue Note

Whilst the struts would not prevent a flame from

coming into contact with straw and other highly

flammable materials, they would have prevented the

candle from simply toppling out of the holder, which

would have been an invaluable contribution to safety.

Hence, they are colloquially called ‘stable’ candlesticks.

They are most usually found made of iron.

waisted scroll­over thumbpiece, the double domed lid with ovoid finial, stamped maker’s marks to the underside of the base

19.1cm high

Catalogue Note

The engraved scene is taken from a painting dated 1576, depicting Russian envoys followed by merchants carrying animal furs, arriving at the court of

the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian II at Rosenberg. A tankard of similar shape, but with foliate decoration, is in the Order of Lenin State History

Museum, Moscow.

Catalogue Note

Interestingly, both candlesticks show signs of iron

debris on their surface, identifying that neither

were well cast. Furthermore, the base of the

decorated example shows the brass ‘freezing’

during pouring resulting in a loss of definition,

making it probably unsaleable when made and

hence a rare survivor today.

LOT SYMBOLS

VAT

Lots marked with an dagger (†) are subject to VAT on the

hammer price. Lots marked with an omega (Ω) have been

temporarily imported from outside the EU and are subject to VAT

at 5% on the hammer price and the buyer’s premium. In online

catalogues, the Sales Tax % column indicates the rate of VAT on

hammer price.

CITES REGULATIONS

Please note that lots marked λ may be subject to CITES

Regulations when exported.

The CITES Regulations may be found at www.defra.gov.uk/ahvlaen/imports­exports/cites/

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT / DROIT DE SUITE

Lots marked with a Φ symbol are potentially subject to

a levy.

Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or the

artist’s heirs each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime

and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death.

Royalties are calculated on a sliding percentage scale based on

the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty

does not apply to lots selling below £1,000 and the maximum

royalty payable on any single lot is £12,500.

Droit de Suite, which is not subject to VAT, will be added to the

buyer’s purchase price and then passed on to the relevant

collecting agency.

Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:

4% Up to £50,000

3% £50,000.01 ­ 200,000

1% £200,000.01 ­ 350,000

0.5% £350,000.01 ­ 500,000

0.25% In excess of £500,000

Up to a maximum levy of £12,500

FIREARMS

Lots marked Ƒ in the catalogue, or by any other means identified

as controlled firearms, are subject to the UK firearms/shotgun

licencing regime, and should only be viewed/purchased by

individuals with appropriate licences. It is the responsibility of the

bidders to ensure that they are legally authorised to acquire the

lot that they are bidding for. In the event that such a lot is

successfully bid for by an individual who is not authorised to

possess it, that individual will be required to pay for it, but will

not be allowed to take physical possession of it. The auctioneers

will re­offer the lot on behalf of the buyer in a future auction;

or may accept instructions to dispose of it by some other legal

means, at their discretion.

VALUATIONS

Valuations are a core part of our business and are usually carried out by a senior

specialist or directors. Accuracy, speed and above all confidentiality are

paramount.

INSURANCE VALUATIONS

Written valuations for insurance can vary from a single item to

a large estate. Before starting we discuss the various options available so that

the valuation is specifically tailored to individual client’s needs.

For valuations of an entire house contents an itemised bound valuation is

produced and can be accompanied by photographs when required. In addition

to providing an inventory, written valuations can prevent painful arguments with a

loss adjuster in the event of a claim.

Woolley & Wallis valuations are accepted by all leading insurance companies.

PROBATE VALUATIONS

We offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and

provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required. Since

security is often a consideration, we can usually arrange for a house to be

cleared and sent for auction, our Valuations Department ensures that executors

are informed of which sales are involved and the results thereof.

We also carry out valuations for Family Division, Capital Gains Tax,

and Private Treaty Sales.
