SOUTH AFRICAN PRESTIGE STAFFS OR CANES & TWO CLUBS (7)The Late Neville Kingston Collection of Tribal ArtRogers Jones are delighted to offer the selected objects from the collection of the late Neville Kingston, formerly of London.Philip Keith who is a regional valuer with the Welsh auction house is one of the UK’s foremost authorities on ethnographic antiques and the co-author of ‘Tribal Art – The Essential World Guide’. This is the first tribal collection that has been entered for auction at Rogers Jones & Co since Philip joined the firm at the beginning of the year. The collection has been split into two auctions with the more important items featuring in the September Selections & Collections auction.The collection is huge in its variety of ethnographic objects from Africa, South Asia, South America and the Pacific attesting to Neville’s interest in the material culture from all regions of the non-western world.Items of note include two rare and beautiful bows from the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean together with two bundles of carved and coloured arrows from the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, as well as intricately bound, delicate Amazonian reed arrows contained in two lightweight quivers.The standout Polynesian lot is an intricately carved ritual paddle from the Austral Islands. These paddles were carved using steel tools traded with European sailors up until the 1840s and are classic expressions of early cross-cultural exchange.For the decorators market, there are two large New Guinea war shields carved with stylised curvilinear designs in bold colours, an enigmatic and beautifully weathered temple roof element from Cambodia and an amazing purple feathered headdress from the Bamileke people of Cameroon, traditionally worn with a beaded cloth elephant effigy costume.The standout African sculpture is a wonderfully stylised iagalagana figure from the Mumuye people of the Benue river region of Nigeria. These etiolated figures with their wrap around arms and of rounded form are the height of fashion amongst collectors and sure to raise international interest.The collection has been entered by his daughter who said:"Neville Kingston was a noted collector of Central Asian textiles and carpets. He combined this with his full time job as a veterinary surgeon, specialising in pigs, a skill which took him around the world from his East Yorkshire base. However, in 2008, his attention was caught by some central and west African ethnographica while he was waiting on the phone to bid for a textile in an auction in Salisbury.The auctioneer persuaded him to bid on the lots “just to start the bidding” and he ended up with his first group of African tribal art. From there began a fascination with this art, with Neville building up a library of books and subscriptions to journals and auction catalogues, in order to learn more about this art form which is under appreciated in the UK. He became a frequent visitor at Parcours in Paris where the enthusiasm was infectious. Although Neville’s first love was always carpets and textiles, he was fascinated by this other form of tribal art and started buying whatever he could, mainly at local auctions. As a newcomer to this world, he bought whatever he could as a means to studying and extending his knowledge."
