Collecting stuff is fun. It makes a house a home and charts the lives and loves
of the occupants. Here are the pictures, objects, china and furniture bought by
my late husband, Ian Posgate, and myself over the past 30 years. They made
Badgemore Grange a special place for us.
We met through a mutual friend in the art business and had a shared interest in
mid-twentieth century British art. With a gallery in Knightsbridge, the business
of arranging, hanging, and moving were part of my stock in trade - it was just
that the area to be filled at Badgemore was so much bigger. The early 90s, when
we started to hunt, were difficult times for the antiques and picture trade. Two
simple life-size Indian wooden figures were bought on the last day of a closing-
down sale and had to be shipped out immediately - Ian driving and me, arms
through the sunshine roof, grimly clamping the figures to the top of the car.
The immediate journey was happily a short one before the figures wound up
in our conservatory to be festooned with scented jasmine in the company of a
temple door from Gujarat. We discovered together this love for India. Without
necessarily meaning to, we have built up a sizeable Indian collection - a very
British taste, it seems, as most things were bought in London. The Company
School watercolours of birds came from some marvellous sales put together
under the title of VISIONS OF INDIA by Christie’s as well as a specialist dealer,
Arthur Milner. The Nandi Bull (the vehicle for the Indian god Shiva) carvings
were a cross-over interest from India to Ian’s farming activities. Some of the old
cattle would serve out their retirement years in two fields next to the house,
cropping the grass and planning their escapes into the garden or adjoining golf
course.
The major acquisitions - the four large plaster reliefs by Gilbert Bayes - from the
wonderful Fine Art Society’s old premises in Bond Street - came to rest in our
hall, landing and stairs in the 90s. They sit on pale green wallpaper by Peggy
Angus, kindly hand-printed by her granddaughter from the original lino blocks.
These I shall be especially sad to leave, but they belong somewhere befitting
their scale. Scattered through the house are lampshades painted by Quentin
Bell, whose work I was fortunate enough to show at the gallery, and curtains by
Enid Marx and E Q Nicholson, also exhibitors. Scattered through the garden, but
immovable, are topiary birds and iron works by Bryan Illsley. A set of cast-iron
furniture by Richard Bawden, though very heavy, proved all too movable and
was stolen. So not in the sale.
Many of the British paintings are by artists exhibited at the gallery or in fairs.
Elsie Henderson is one I have been associated with since the early 90s and the
cloakroom is close hung with her handsome studies of lions and tigers from
London Zoo. Several painters are associated with East Anglia - Margaret Thomas,
Allan Walton, Joan Warburton, Nicky Loutit, Glyn Morgan and Lucy Harwood. My
assistant of many years, Nicola Blaxall, observed that Nicky Loutit has the ability
to turn a brown ploughed field in Norfolk into a piece of poetry - a piece of
alchemy. Two of the more striking works are portraits - one by Alfred Wolmark -
an early painting of his sister and mother with the most breathtaking brushwork;
the other a large portrait by Henry Lamb of his wife and daughter, Henrietta,
who in her later years used to visit the gallery. Several of the pictures are not
necessarily of high value but have been valued by us. It is a collection which we
hugely enjoyed putting together and living with for many years.

GILBERT BAYES PRBS (1872-1953)
Gilbert Bayes enjoyed a long and highly successful career that spanned the Arts and Crafts Movement, art nouveau, through art deco to modernism. Winning
countless medals and awards, he was also the president of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and Master of the Art Workers Guild. He created more public
sculpture between the two wars than any other artist working in Britain at the time. His use of diverse subject matters, styles and materials has ensured his
status at the forefront of British sculpture in the first half of the 20th century and, given his many accolades, it is surprising that he is not better known today.
Taught and mentored by George Frampton, he created war memorials, portrait busts and panels, sculptures in metal, coloured ceramics, stone, wood and
plaster from small medallions up to monumental 60 foot friezes. It is these large public works for which he is probably best known; his public sculptures and
the large low relief panels have become part of the fabric of our cities particularly in London. We take them for granted without really noticing their presence.
They notably include, but are by no means limited to the following: ‘The Queen of Time’, Selfridges, Oxford Street; ‘Drama through the Ages’, Odeon Covent
Garden, formerly the Saville Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue; and ‘A Tribute to all Sportsmen’, the frieze outside Lord’s Cricket Ground, Wellington Road. The
list goes on and on. His work was often figurative and it was his philosophy that art should be decorative and should elevate. The following four lots were all
created in the 1930s when he was at the height of his powers.

COMPANY SCHOOL ORNITHOLOGICAL WATERCOLOURS
The exquisitely detailed ornithological paintings seen in the following lots are legacies of the Anglo-Indian relationship fostered at the end of the eighteenth century,
when the East India Company expanded its influence across the country. The British colonialists settling in India were fascinated by the exotic flora and fauna they
encountered and attempted to document it by commissioning local artists to paint natural history pictures. The artists producing these works came from a range of
Indian artistic traditions – Mughal, Maratha, Punjabi, Pahari, Tamil and Telugu. Three distinct schools emerged, first in Lucknow and Calcutta, then later in Delhi. Here we
see examples from the Calcutta School at the turn of the 19th century and later examples of ‘Company School’, a term that refers to Indian artists working in a European
tradition. The school declined after the 1840s when the practice of painting as a means of documentation was replaced by photography.

Sworders have a nationwide reputation for conducting successful
auctions of substantial and important collections. We believe items
sell better as part of a named collection, bidders and purchasers
value the provenance and story behind items, it helps bring them
to life and enables them to bid with enthusiasm and confidence,
which of course, leads to higher hammer prices.
Our specialist team, led by Guy Schooling and Luke Macdonald,
will ensure a very personal, first-rate, tailored and transparent
service, from the initial call, through the preparation of the auction
catalogue, promotion of the sale and the auction process itself, to
the fall of the hammer and settlement.
Every collection is unique and will be handled as such.
Auctions can be conducted in our bespoke Stansted Mountfitchet
Auction Rooms, where our experts successfully recreate the
ambience and atmosphere of the house or collection, on the
premises where the collection was housed or formed, or in a neutral
venue, perhaps in central London, where we recently conducted a
successful Asian Art Auction.
We have an experienced, knowledgeable and dedicated marketing
team who ensure collections, and the items within them, are
promoted around the world, on social media, in print, with paid-for
advertisements and editorial provided by our press releases.
Each collection is personal and unique with an emotional
connection to the owners who create or inherit them. Our team
will work carefully and closely with clients to ensure a sensitive and
carefully tailored handling of the collection and its eventual sale.
