Lot 1
1933 Austin 7 RP Saloon
Registration No: AGK 389
Chassis No: 171068
Car No: B7 4573
£2,500 - 3,000
Finished in black over maroon with a gold pinstripe, the overall condition of this
venerable little Seven is ‘older-restored’ throughout, with marks, blemishes and paint
loss commensurate with age. The interior in marbled red vinyl is in generally good
condition and the dash appears complete. Apparently stored for some time, the
Austin will need some re-commissioning or light restoration to bring it to running
and roadworthy condition. The engine does, however, turn freely by hand and the
car rolls. Paperwork included in the sale includes a buff RF60 Registration Document
and V5C. Please note that our HPI vehicle check shows that the engine number and
chassis numbers have been transposed on the vehicle registration document.

1960 Morris Mini Minor De-Luxe Saloon
Registration No: 71 COX
Chassis No: MA2S447365
Engine No: 8AMUH81593
£12,000 - 15,000
Built on 5 October 1960 and despatched from the factory nine days later,
71 COX is a genuine right-hand drive, home market, Morris Mini Minor
De-Luxe saloon.
First registered on 2 February 1961 through dealers Smiths Garages
Limited, Bournville, the car came into its present family ownership in
January 1974 after the Standard 8 it replaced ‘failed to proceed’. Cherry
Red with grey fleck and red trim, 71 COX provided reliable service until
2000 (a small mishap at Kenilworth Golf Club in 1979 aside…), when
the annual MoT test delivered bad news. With the choices being to either
scrap or restore, thankfully the decision to restore was made.
A note in the Mini’s file suggests that the work took five years to
complete, with it being restored to original specification where possible
and remaining in Cherry Red with the original specification interior.
The original rear seat was kept, although it is likely that the fronts were
re-trimmed during the restoration, albeit in correct colours. Fifteen
years later the car remains generally very tidy and still presentable,
although starting to ‘mellow’ in some areas. More recently it has stood
for some time, so inspection prior to purchase is expected and some
re-commissioning will be required.
Paperwork includes the original Warranty dated February 1961 and
BMIHT ‘Heritage Certificate’, the original buff log book dated February
2nd 1961, handbook, a large quantity of expired MoT test certificates,
various expired V5 registration documents and V5C. The original Smiths
Garage Ltd., Bournville rear registration plate has been kept with the car
and, as a bonus, a nodding dog guards the rear shelf.

Clare Ralph Leonty, the vendor of this collection of glass, is an artist based in the Isle of Wight, is known for her love of glass and jewellery.
Clare has gained media coverage with her dinosaur bone jewellery, with its marriage of silver and fossilised dinosaur pieces found on local
beaches, while also producing her own studio glass range. In addition, commissioned stone and glass installations form a large part of her
repertoire.
The most recent collaboration is with Timothy Harris of Isle of Wight Studio Glass on a piece titled ‘Toxic Lady’. Constructed with large amounts
of melted down uranium glass items, it is in the form of a torso which reacts under UV light. The proceeds of this collection will go towards
Clare’s newest project with Isle of Wight Studio Glass.

Provenance: From the private collection and descendant of a past owner of Johnson, Walker Tolhurst, who
purportedly originally commissioned the service.
The facsimile signature of Latino Movio (1858-1949) has been noted on chased and embossed Arts and Crafts
silver pieces hallmarked between 1901 and 1907.
Although very few details about his life and work have come to light, he appears in the 1911 census as
an Italian ‘artist in metal repoussé’. His son and daughter are recorded living in the same house as a ‘brass
finisher and chaser’ and ‘art metal teacher’ respectively.
Given the style of his work and the date when his signature begins to appear on silver, it seems probable that
he was employed in the workshop of Gilbert Marks, whose output ceased around 1902 because of illness.
Further weight is lent to this argument by the fact that Movio’s facsimile signature turns up on items bearing
the ‘maker’s mark’ of Johnson, Walker Tolhurst for whom Marks worked and at whose showrooms he
exhibited his silver from 1895 to 1901. A likely scenario is that Movio continued to work for them (as well as
for other retailers) on his own account after leaving the employ of Marks, applying his own signature in the
same style. Movio last appears as a ‘chaser’ in a 1934 trade directory.

May Morris, William’s youngest
daughter, was an important figure in
the Arts and Crafts Movement. The
verse is the opening of ‘To Violets’
by Robert Herrick, a 17th century
poet. May helped transform
embroidery from a domestic pastime
- undervalued because it was mostly
done by women - into a serious art
form. Her work was exhibited widely
and pieces like this showed what
could be achieved by imaginative
and inventive free-hand stitching,
as opposed to the more plodding
woolwork dominating much amateur
production.
May had become the head of Morris
and Co.’s embroidery department
by the time she was twenty-three,
but she was concerned by the lack
of professional organisations open to
women and tried to redress this by
founding the Women’s Guild of Arts
in 1907.
Wallington Hall is now owned by the
National Trust. The interiors were
remodelled with Pre-Raphaeliate art,
sculpture and decoration.
The artist William Bell Scott was
commissioned to paint the walls
with a series of vivid Pre-Raphaelite
scenes depicting great moments in
the history of Northumberland. Bell
carried out most of the painting
and one panel was painted by John
Ruskin. Another Pre-Raphaelite friend
of the Trevelyan family was sculptor
Thomas Woolner, who created
sculptures in the entrance hall.
Lady Mary Terevelyan (1881-1966)
was keen on the arts and there are
a series of tapestries woven by her
at Wallington Hall – it may be that
she used the May Morris design from
a pattern which was known to have
been published in the ‘Day Book’.

A rare Arts and Crafts oak
architectural clock,
designed by C F A Voysey
(1857-1941), c.1902, with a domed
top with a wood pinnacle, a shaped
top moulding, the dial inlaid with
pewter letters ‘Tempus fugit’,
enclosing a simple clock movement
with striker and pendulum,
26.8cm wide
17.7cm deep
50cm high
£12,000 - 15,000
Voysey first designed a clock of
this form with a decorated face for
his own home, ‘The Orchard’ in
Chorleywood, in 1895. It is shown
in a photograph of the hallway. The
original design for this is now in the
collection of RIBA, and the clock
itself held by the Victoria and Albert
Museum, London.
The architectural form of the piece
demonstrates Voysey’s belief in
simplicity of decoration without which,
he said, ‘no true richness is possible’.
It can be compared to the clock tower
he designed over the stable entrance
at the Sturges house near Puttenham,
1896, his unexecuted 1889 design for
a Tower House and the house he built
for Mrs Forster at 14 South Parade,
Bedford Park, Chiswick in 1891, all
of which share the bold upright facia
under an extended capped roof of this
clock.
In common with a number of Voysey’s
designs, which he reused for later
commissions with or without minor
amendments, a limited number of
other versions were created. Two
examples in oak are known, and a few
are known to have been produced in
aluminium by W Tingley, one of which
was shown at the 1903 Arts and Crafts
Exhibition.

Charles Francis Annesley Voysey, was educated at Dulwich College and was a prolific
architect- designer within the Arts and Crafts movement. An undistinguished academic
at college, Voysey later claimed he became an architect because it was ‘the only
profession for which one did not need to pass any examinations’. Beginning his career
in 1881, he first established himself as a designer of furniture, textiles and wallpapers.
Winning his first building commissions in 1890, he quickly earned a reputation of being
a master of artistic cottages and modern country houses.
He paid meticulous attention to detail, designing every aspect of a project, down to the
door hinges. Voysey regularly exhibited watercolour elevations of his building projects,
furniture and decorative designs at the Royal Academy, and is celebrated today as one
of the leading British designers of the turn of the 20th century.
The simple design, personified by a heart motif on the back of a chair, is one of
Voysey’s best known furniture designs. F C Nielsen, who made other furniture that
Voysey designed, made these chairs from 1902, in differing proportions. One telltale
detail is the dovetail construction fixing the splat to the frame. Versions of this chair can
be seen in major collections around the world with leather and rush drop-in seats.
Voysey had a limited number of designs that he used, but in many of his schemes
for interiors, this model appears often - his mantra was for furniture with a ‘sense of
proportion and puritanical love of simplicity’.
Few of these chairs have come on the market over the last ten years, the most recent
a pair of single chairs without arms, which sold in March this year for £16,500.
No doubt, this pair are the exemplar of the Arts and Crafts tradition and rarer still
to be found together after all this time. Examples of this chair can be seen in The
Homestead, built for the General Manager of the Essex and Suffolk Equitable Insurance
Society, whose offices Voysey designed, and is among his best-preserved domestic
masterpieces.
The vendor has been the lucky owner of these for over forty years.

The collection of furniture by Stanley Webb Davies
lots 225-259 is probably the largest ever single-owner
commission to come on the market.
Stanley Webb Davies (1894-1978) was born into a wealthy
mill-owning family in Lancashire and was educated at
Bootham, a Quaker School in York, and then studied
history at Oxford. During the First World War, he was a
member of the Friends' War Victims Relief team and built
huts for refugees, which in turn developed his love of
woodwork.
After the war, he worked for Romney Green at his
workshop in Christchurch, Hampshire. In 1922, with help
from his father, he built his workshop and a new home he
called 'Gatesbield', which was designed by the architect
Kenneth Cross. He worked there for the rest of his life and
adhered to the Arts and Crafts Movement's ideals of the
craftsman-maker versus machine-production.
He designed and made domestic and ecclesiastical
furniture, presentation pieces, and items for boardrooms
and offices. Most of his work was made to commission
and he was resolute in never producing exactly the same
design twice. His workshop closed on his retirement in
1961.
The fascinating detail of the works in this collection is
that most of the pieces are signed by the craftsmen that
made them: Ernest John Oldcorn, Bob Willetts, Herbert
Marshall and Richard Cloudsdale.

£4,000 - 6,000
Provenance: The Goddard family.
The Goddard family of Leicester were important
local patrons of the arts. Joseph Goddard was a
chemist, who developed Goddard’s plate powder,
a cleaning powder without mercury. He promoted
the use of the powder by giving free samples to
travellers who visited his shop. He was a Baptist, like
Thomas Cook, and promoted temperance in the
works and improving excursions - to, for example,
the 1851 Great Exhibition - for his workforce. The
family had close links with the Evans family following
the marriage of W A Evans to Nancy, one of the four
Goddard daughters, in 1904.
Works from the family collection can be seen at the
Leicester Museum.

The label reads ‘Made for Mrs H W Keil of Broadway’. ‘H W Keil’ were antique dealers of early
oak and even included royalty amongst their client base. Howard Keil did apparently, at some

produced metalwork with one of Gordon Russell’s former metalworkers, utilising elements of
design by Ernest Gimson and Gordon Russell.

architect and designer. He was acquainted with Sidney and Earnest
Barnsley and the Artworkers’ Guild. The Visitors Book is labelled
‘Robert S. Weir; The Barn, Hartley-Wintney, Hants’. In 1912, he created
one of the first barn conversions at Hartley-Wintney where he died in
1951, aged 90. The Visitors Book dates from 1912 to 1951, recommencing
with visitors from the Victorian Society in 1978 and the Artworkers’ Guild in
1979, the last entry being a visit from the ANM Elective, 7 June 1983.
