CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH (1968-1928) FOR MISS CRANSTON'S ARGYLE STREET TEA ROOMS STOOL, 1898 stained oak 44.5cm wide, 38.5cm high, 38cm deep Provenance: Private Collection, Glasgow Literature: Billcliffe R. Charles Rennie Mackintosh: The Complete Furniture, Furniture Drawings & Interior Designs, Cameron & Hollis, 2009, pp. 10-12, 55, 56 and 59., 1898.H where the stools are illustrated in situ, and 1898.34 where this example is illustratedHowarth T. Charles Rennie Mackintosh and The Modern Movement. Routledge and Kegan Paul 1952, pl. 49BNote: In 1898, early in Mackintosh’s career entrepreneur Catherine Cranston - known as Miss Cranston - commissioned him to furnish her new rooms at her tearooms on Argyle Street, Glasgow. Miss Cranston was to be an important patron for the young architect, who came to rely on a relatively small number of patrons throughout his career. The commission afforded Mackintosh a new freedom to experiment, whilst leading to further projects, including the Ingram Street Tea Rooms (1900) and the Willow Tea Rooms (1903)The work at Argyle Street followed on from his previous work at Miss Cranston's new Buchannan Street Tea Rooms, which had been conceived two years earlier in 1896. mackintosh was commissioned to decorate the walls with designer George Walton the furnishings. In this new undertaking, however, Mackintosh found himself in a role reversal, being fully in charge of the furnishings whilst Walton was preoccupied with designing the interiors.The furniture Mackintosh designed for these new rooms exhibit a new, more robust evolution of his repertoire and established a style for much of his work up to 1900. The bold and simple aesthetic of the designs marked him out from his contemporaries, and for the first time the distinctive furniture he produced was also employed to define and separate the rooms as designed by Walton.This rare stool, one of five seen in contemporary photographs, was part of a group of furniture he designed for the Billiards and Smoking Rooms, which occupied the building's top two floors above the tea and luncheon rooms. The tearooms were a haven from the city for both men and women, however the Smoking and Billiards Rooms were purely a masculine domain and the design and construction of the furniture is a reflection of that fact.Combining English Arts & Crafts and Scottish vernacular design, Mackintosh produced three types of sturdy and generous seating for these rooms; a ladderback armchair, its long, rectangular back rail adorned with ascending wooden slats; a cube shaped armchair, a version of the previous chair without the tall back; and a stool, only seen in the Smoking Room from contemporary photographs. All of the furniture was either clear-varnished or dark-stained and waxed. The construction of the stools is traditional, although the panelling and distinctively shaped cut-out handles to each side certainly not. The shaped seat is reflected in the other seating in these rooms.The Argyle Street Tea Rooms closed in 1920, and much of the furniture was dispersed. The robust construction of the furniture has helped them withstand many years of use, however it is their beautiful and functional design which has stood the test of time.
Ca. AD 1000 - 1200.A Seljuk bronze ewer with a pear-shaped body rising toward a tapered neck and curved spout, the lower part of the body is inlaid with floral panelling and rests atop a trumpet-shaped base.

The exterior features incised roundels and panels of intricate motifs. For similar see: MET Museum 33.96.Size: 220mm x 80mm; Weight: 390gProvenance: Property of an Oxfordshire art professional; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK / International art markets.
Registration No: GF 5087Chassis No: 46163MOT: ExemptSupplied new by Col. Sorrel to 'Montmorensie' and subsequently the property of J.M. Carrick, J. Montgomerie, A.R. Gooda, R.J. Rickards, D.E. Crowther and the vendorOriginal chassis, engine and transaxle. Front axle understood to be of Molsheim manufacture but no number discernedDecidedly elegant Weymann coachworkThere is no doubt ‘La Petite Royale’ succeeded where ‘(La Grande) Royale’ failed in terms of cementing Bugatti’s status as a luxury motorcar manufacturer; little wonder then that the model was reputedly among Ettore’s favourites. Le Patron would surely have approved of this particular example – chassis 46163 – too on the basis that it sports a scaled-down version of the magnificent semi-panelled Weymann Coach body which adorned his personal Type 41 ‘Royale’ when it won the 1929 Grand Prix d'Honneur Concours d'Elegance complete with ‘letterbox’ windscreen, kick-forward A-pillar, D-back and asymmetric rear windows. Invoiced to UK concessionaire Colonel Sorrel on 7th January 1930 for the princely sum of FF63,000 (including FF2,570 of extra fittings), the two-door Fixed Head was delivered a month later. Issued with the London number plate ‘GF 5087’ on April 2nd 1930, the Type 46’s first owner is simply recorded as ‘Montmorensie’ who we presume to have been the artist Sir Miles Fletcher de Montmorency, 17th Baronet Morres of Knockagh. Deriving an income from his Irish estates but residing in the English Capital, de Montmorency seemingly kept the four-seater until 1939/1940 when it was bought by Rodney Clarke Esq. for a mere £30! The co-founder of renowned Bugatti and Maserati specialists Continental Cars (and later Connaught), Clarke believed chassis 46163 to have been the Type 46 that he loaned to Cecil Clutton and Laurence Pomeroy for a test drive which was subsequently written-up in the April 1942 issue of Motor Sport magazine. Hand- and typewritten correspondence on file also reveals that ‘GF 5087’ was the car in which Pamela Clarke ‘missed being born by five minutes’ during 1943.Migrating to Scotland thereafter, the close-coupled four-seater belonged to J.M. Carrick Esq. of Coldstream, Berwick and then John Montgomerie Esq of Castle Douglas. The latter acquired it in 1954 and as the proprietor of James Gordon (Engineers) Ltd set about a ‘chassis up, body off’ restoration. Amazingly, much of the work is chronicled via a series of accompanying black and white photographs. Done on a piecemeal basis, the project had yet to be completed when Robert Prosser (acting on behalf of Robert Gooda Esq.) tracked the Bugatti to Castle Douglas during 1973. In two minds about selling, Montgomerie asked what he felt was an overly ambitious £4,000 for chassis 46163 and was somewhat taken aback to be pretty much handed a deposit there and then. Custodian for less than a year, Mr Gooda had the Type 46 re-registered as ‘GF 5087’ but apparently did little else prior to his premature demise. Advertised for £6,500 in the Thursday February 21st 1974 issue of Exchange & Mart, the Bugatti had in fact changed hands earlier that month being bought by R.J. Rickards Esq. Entering into correspondence with Mr Montgomerie, Mr Rickards received a wealth of information about the mechanical overhaul and was even sent the water pump. The engine is the original factory-fitted unit and is clearly stamped with the numbers ‘79’ and ‘195’. The former is the actual engine number, while the latter is the assembly number (and not that of a correct-type replacement, as had been previously posited). Mr Rickards would own the Bugatti for no less than thirty years during which time he repaired the ash frame, had the fabric panelling renewed in Blue by coachbuilder I. Wilkinson & Son of Derby and retrimmed the interior etc but, like his predecessors, did not finish it. Sold to its previous keeper Douglas Crowther Esq via the agency of Gavin McGuire Fine Automobiles in 2004, the Type 46 was further improved with all six of its alloy wheels being expensively refurbished before entering the current ownership a decade later.An automotive engineer by profession whose career took him all over the globe on various troubleshooting and project management missions, the vendor has had a lifelong passion for motorcars. Inspired by a petrolhead stepfather and racing driver mother, he has undertaken numerous restorations over the years and still has a 1932 Alvis which has been in his family since new. As well as completely rewiring the Weymann Coach including rejuvenating the ignition system (no mean feat given the lack of available information on the twin-plug set-up), he has had the instruments restored and the interior trim completed. Thought to have begun life with Marchal lighting, ‘GF 5087’ switched over to Scintilla components early in its life (the fuse box and horn are marked Scintilla too). More original than many surviving Bugattis, chassis 46163 has recently been inspected by the marque historian and Honorary Registrar of the Bugatti Owners’ Club, Mark Morris. Keen to be as authentic as possible in his endeavours, the seller has persisted with the Smith-Bariquand carburettor and reinstated the full-length running boards (a task made easier by the presence of the factory mounting holes). The ‘Metro Fully Flush Sliding Roof’ remains in situ and operational. Although a going concern, ‘GF 5087’ has yet to be run-in and / or de-bugged since the completion of its protracted, seven-decade, refurbishment. Housed within an engine-turned aluminium panel, the Jaegar instruments encompass a 150kmh speedometer and zeroed odometer.Aesthetics are subjective but we consider chassis 46163 to be among the most attractive Type 46s to have survived. Our sentiments being presaged by Cecil Clutton in Motor Sport eighty-two years ago: ‘This particular car is undoubtedly one of the most handsome ever, as is universally agreed by all beholders . . . The body is a two-door, four-light Weymann, with a large travelling trunk behind. The wheels are of the aluminium type. Some 5-litres are rather “lumps” in appearance, but this one is essentially “sleek.” An overall height of only 5’ 3”, as against a wheelbase of no less than 11’ 6”, largely contributes to the exceptionally fine appearance’. The potential jewel in many a collection and a fabulous opportunity for Bugattistes everywhere, this glorious ‘Petite Royale’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, history file, Mark Morris report and spare block (which was purchased from marque specialist ‘Ivan Dutton’ on a ‘just in case / you never know’ basis).For more information, please contact:Damian Jonesdamian.jones@handh.co.uk07855 493737

Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection, purchased from G.H. Bell, Winchester, 6th September 1966 for £6,170. Purchased by G.H. Bell from Sotheby's, London, sale of FINE ENGLISH AND CONTINENTAL FURNITURE, RUGS AND CARPETS, TAPESTRIES AND CLOCKS 21st May 1965 (Lot 55) 'The Property of a Gentleman' for £1,600 hammer. Thomas Tompion has often been referred to as the 'father of English clock and watchmaking'. When considering the legacy of his work and influence on subsequent generations, such a compliment is justly deserved. Born in Ickwell, Suffolk in 1639 Thomas Tompion appears to have developed an affinity for metalworking from his father, also named Thomas, who worked as a blacksmith. By 1670 Tompion had moved to London and was working in the clock and watchmaking trade. Although there is no record of his apprenticeship or whether he received any formal training prior to moving to London, he quickly became established and obtained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in late 1671. His early clocks demonstrate a close working relationship with the Fromanteel, East and Knibb workshops. Around this time Tompion became friendly with eminent mathematicians and scientists such as Robert Hooke and Jonas Moore - perhaps the most progressive and inventive minds of the day. Such associations lead to Royal commissions, firstly from Charles II for whom Tompion is known to have made one of the earliest balance-spring watches in 1676 and later William III who ordered numerous clocks to furnish his various palaces throughout his reign. As well as being an extremely talented artisan Tompion was also commercially minded, cleverly introducing serial numbering for his watches and clocks from around 1681/2. This, as well as maintaining a high degree of refinement in both the design and construction of his clocks and watches, ensured the highest level of exclusivity for clients purchasing from him. In around 1701 Thomas Tompion took a former apprentice, Edward Banger, into partnership. Banger was originally apprenticed to Thomas Ashby in 1687 but was transferred over to Tompion and gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1695. He was clearly a talented maker (when considering the few examples signed by Banger alone) however a serious problem between him and his former master caused the partnership to come to an abrupt end in 1707-8 for reasons unknown. On Banger's departure Tompion reverted to working alone until he found confidence in George Graham who had been engaged as a journeyman for Tompion since 1696. Graham's character had already been given the seal of approval by Tompion who allowed him to marry his niece, Elizabeth, in 1704; however it still would be a few years before Tompion would take Graham into partnership which he eventually did in 1711.Thomas Tompion died in November 1713 leaving the business to George Graham who maintained the same exacting standards and became famous in his own right with notable achievements including the development of the deadbeat escapement for pendulum clocks and the cylinder escapement for watches. Edward Banger outlived Tompion by six years, his abilities as a highly skilled watchmaker are demonstrated within a fine jewelled movement dating to around 1715 by him illustrated by him in Evans, Jeremy THOMAS TOMPION at the Dial and Three Crowns page 54, Fig. 97. The movement and dial of the present lot conform to the 'type 1' phase of Tompion longcase clock development as set-out in Evans, Jeremy; Carter, Jonathan and Wright, Ben THOMAS TOMPION, 300 YEARS pages 197-217. The dial is indeed a 'textbook' example of its type and can be directly compared to that of another month longcase (number 14) with double wheat-ear border by Tompion, illustrated in Symonds, R.W. THOMAS TOMPION on page 78 (Figure 54). The movement conforms to Tompion's standard layout for a month duration longcase clock with another of near identical design (number 223) illustrated by Evans, Carter and Wright on page 204. Indeed, the only real variances between these movements are that the present lot has taller plates and no pallet-shaped cut-out to the backplate; both of these features are due to current movement being an earlier example. Tompion's work is characterised by an exceptional approach to the finishing of his movements; the present lot does not disappoint with finely cut graded wheelwork and superb shaping to the steelwork most notably to the hammer spring tail, bell stand foot and barrel click springs.Although the case is not original to the movement and dial it is 'of the period' and a comfortable match benefitting from not having a lenticle (Tompion's preference) and pleasing detailing on the panelling of the veneers. Indeed, the case fulfils the list of criteria listed by Evans, Carter and Wright, with regards to features expected in a 'Type 1', case on page 197.
