Chairman’s Introduction
Welcome to Sworders’ 2019 newsletter, where we review another eventful year and look forward to what we hope will be an equally eventful 2020.
The year began with the first of two house contents sales, the Collection of Barbara Holliday, removed from ‘The Gales’ in the far, far north west of Cumbria. Mrs Holliday’s particular passion was for the work of late 20th century Royal Academicians. The auction met with an enthusiastic response, a 95% sold rate and was led by works by Mary Fedden and Cumbrian artist Sheila Fell.
The summer brought the contents of Alderley House from Gloucestershire, a quintessentially Cotswold manor house, recently furnished in the English country house style. On offer were the extensive contents, ranging from
a grand piano to a clay pigeon launcher.
In March we opened our London Gallery in Cecil Court, on the edge of Covent Garden; this proved an invaluable asset during our successful Asian Art Auction, which was viewed entirely from there during the week prior to auction.
I am also delighted to have been able to recruit several leading and impressive new members of staff, including Luke Macdonald and Stephen Giles.
Next year begins with the John Barnett Collection of Scales, an exciting new season of 20th Century auctions and the ever-extraordinary Out of the Ordinary auction in February.
Thank you for your much-valued support throughout the year. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible during 2020.

Swedish Antiques Master Class presented by Toma Clark Haines The Antiques Di...The Antiques Diva & Co
The Golden Age: The most important Swedish furniture styles and periods (watch on Facebook LIVE: https://www.facebook.com/TomaClarkHaines/videos/10209172756975863/ by Toma Clark Haines – CEO The Antiques Diva & Co
and Diva Guide Swedish Antiques Expert Daniel Larsson – D Larsson Antiques & Interiors)
• Stockholm Pieces vs. Manor vs. Folk Art
• Transitional Pieces
• Original Paint
• Fakes
• Period vs. Style
In the 18th Century the government instigated a ban on the import on furniture thus igniting one of the greatest cultural contributions to the history of furniture making. As a result of the ban - national furniture making took off creating Masterpieces that would change the history of antiques.
In 1846 the guild system dissolved in Sweden and the carpenter's strict quality controls ceased. Cabinetmakers were now able to freely practice their craft. During the second half of the 19th century it became more common with machine-made parts and the handmade furniture decreased most significantly and unfortunately so did the quality.
Much of the Swedish furniture currently available on the "antique" market has been comprehensively rebuilt and restored, often repainted in popular pale colors and sadly some of these created or "style" pieces are sold as period. It is paramount to pay attention and look closely. During the 80’s and 90’s a lot of furniture with original color was unfortunately destroyed by chemicals.
In conclusion: Pieces that look Gustavian but were made one or two hundred years later or even last year are properly designated in the Gustavian style.

Amazing steampunk-inspired fine jewelersDecimononic
There many creators who design Steampunk-inspired jewelry. However, those who focus on the field of fine jewelry are much less ordinary. This is why we decided to do some research -at Decimononic we are jewelers after all- and we are thrilled to share the result with you: a group of international jewelers from countries like Germany, New Zealand, Russia, Spain, the Netherlands, the USA, Ukraine...
All of them have two things in common: they use precious materiales (noble metals, gemstones, etc.) and professional metalsmithing techniques, and they acknowledge Steampunk inspiration.
Kudos to all the colleagues that dare to create without restrictions and to all the coinnosseurs of the Steampunk community that value these extraordinary proposals.

This is Adam’s fifth Summer Loan Exhibition drawn exclusively from Private Collections from both North and South of the border. The exhibition opens at Adam’s in Dublin this year where it will run for 4 weeks in July before transferring to Clandeboye for August/September where it forms part of the Clandeboye Festival 18th – 23rd August with Camerata Ireland. The Summer exhibition this year celebrates the significant role that women have played in the history of Irish art, be it through their own craft, their organisational skills and their encouragement and support of younger artists; a role that has too often been overlooked.

The Knysna Arts Festival will feature more than 50 established artists from Knysna, Sedgefield, and Plettenberg Bay who will be exhibiting at 40 venues in Knysna and Sedgefield - as well as seven artists from historically disadvantaged suburbs who will be exhibiting both at home and in the CBD.
You’ll also be able to meet the painters, sculptors, potters, photographers, cartoonists and others - and learn from many of them during the Festival’s series of lectures and demonstrations.

Joanne Hummel-Newell
Drawing Collages
Collecting ephemera is an important part of Joanne’s creative
process. She gathers things, scraps, shopping lists, tickets found
on the street, at a train station, pockets, all of a particular
appearance; discoloured, loved, lost, stained and beautiful.
Pasted found notes or manuscripts are employed because of Joanne’s
anthropological interest in mark-making. Creating ‘accidental art’ forms is
a rule of her compositions. Joanne says: These ‘drawing collages’ are best
compared to the pages of a book, constructed from detailed marks and
materials imploring a need to be held and viewed intimately.
Joanne is based on the Isle of Wight. She has an MA from the Royal College
of Art, and has exhibited in London, Berlin, Rome and the 54th Venice
Biennale. She was featured in an Observer article titled ‘Next generation
turns its back on Emin and Hirst’s conceptual artworks’ in 2011.
