Chinese armorial porcelain 中国外销纹章瓷
A set of six Qianlong (1736-95) Chinese armorial plates
A chevron between three unicorns with couped heads, surmounted by a crest of a unicorn with a couped head, about which is a green and red floral surround all within a gilt floral swagged border. Very probably the arms of the Rutton family of Kent.
9.1ins (23cm) diameter, unmarked, some paint losses particularly to the field of the arms and minor imperfections associated with the manufacture (6)
Chinese Armorial Porcelain has its focus on families having a direct connection to the East India Company as it was most frequently part of the ‘private trade’ carried to Europe in the personal cargo allowance of the captain. It was normally of a higher quality than the general chinaware that the East India Company imported for domestic use and usefully served as ballast for the cargo of tea. Orders were carried from Europe by the captains to Whampoa (the anchorage for Canton); the kilns were often over 500 miles away over the mountains in Jingdezhen and the ships returned with the goods often two or three years later. Dr Isaac Rutton is traditionally associated with Kentish silk and tobacco smuggling via the continent. He, one can speculate, might have had the contacts to secure such items. He lived behind a veil of propriety whilst discreetly operating the Seasalter Smuggling Company.

Edward Seago
(1910-1974)
Boats at Rye 1927
Oil on board, signed with initials, 10.25x13ins, framed
At the age of ten Edward Seago announced to his parents he intended to be a painter. Three years later he wrote to Bertram Priestman RA, who during the summers lived at Walberswick, not far from his prep school in Suffolk, who took him under his wing, giving him his first lessons. At sixteen in 1926, he had two paintings accepted for the Norwich Art Circle exhibition, shown alongside loans by the already important East Anglain artists Arnsby Brown and Munnings. A year later, encouraged by Priestman, he submitted his first painting to the Royal Academy. Still a teenager in 1929, his first one-man show in London was held at The Arlington Gallery in Old Bond Street, twenty-three paintings sold on the first day (some priced as highly as £150). This very charming early work was painted when he was only seventeen, in the same year as his first submission to the Royal Academy. The view across the estuary towards the town is much the same today.

(Leipzig 1904–1989 Antibes)
Composition in Black, Yellow & Green 1959

In a fine early gilt frame
POA
Hartung lived and worked in France and he contributed to a renewal of abstract painting in France and was the primary figurehead of the School of Paris, developing gestural painting as early as the 1920s and 30s (ie before Pollock and Kline in the US). However, after substantial recognition in the 60s and 70s, interest in Hartung’s work waned and his work was relatively ignored until late into the second decade of this century. In 2018, after a successful retrospective at Perrotin’s New York gallery, his works were shown at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn, at Simon Lee in London, at Nahmad Contemporary in New York and at Brame & Lorenceau Gallery in Paris. Last year, marking the 30th anniversary of his death, the Museum of Modern Art, Paris organised a Hartung retrospective, including new acquisitions. These exhibitions have brought new momentum to the market of this essential artist, several of his major works have made in excess of £1m hammer price at auction.

Signed and dated
POA
The words below were written about the catalogue published alongside the exhibition Ellsworth Kelly – Plant Drawings, The Metropolitan Museum 2012
Kelly’s gorgeously economical plant drawings are full of tender lucidity
Though best known as a painter of scrupulous hard-edge abstractions, Ellsworth Kelly saw drawing plants as playing a central role in his art. “The drawings from plant life seems to be the bridge to the way of seeing that brought about the paintings in 1949” Kelly wrote in 1969. That way of seeing, he said, was “the basis for all my later work”. The rigorous and exacting observation of the natural world that Kelly used to make his plant drawings – a practice he continued through his whole career – helped him to refine his distinctly direct brand of minimal abstraction.
First published in 2017 and quickly going out of print, Ellsworth Kelly – Plant Drawings features more than 30 drawings made by Kelly between 1949 and 2008. Kelly made these gorgeously economical line drawings from life, sometimes barely lifting the pencil as he translated each plant’s contours to paper. Focusing on direct visual impression “nothing is changed or added”. as he put it. Kelly used the natural forms of the plants to explore some of his painterly fixations, like the effects of volume, negative space and overlapping planes. Despite the immediacy of their execution and their representational content, the most striking surprise of Kelly’s plant drawings is how much they share with his abstract paintings and sculptures.

Edward Seago
(1910-1974)

Oil on board, signed
Painted on one of his many painting trips on his studio-boat Capricorn, on this occasion sailing up the Seine towards Paris, he moored for a couple of days at the Normandy village of Petit Anderlys, below the ruin of Chateau Gaillard, built by Richard Coeur de Lion. Jean Goodman writes of this subject in her biography Edward Seago – The Other Side of the Canvas [pp 215-6], she recalls his words from his last book With Capricorn to Paris “…For Me, this glimpse of it was a wish come true Seago wrote, remembering the first time he had seen a painting of the Chateau. It was in the book by Sir Alfred East which, as a boy, had stirred his imagination and he had longed to visit it and other far-away places, instead of carrying his paints down to the familiar meadows behind his Norfolk home. On that trip up the Seine he painted the Chateau and the view from the top of its hill…”

Oil on canvas
Signed

Mrs Cunningham Reid (Hon Ruth Mary Clarisse Ashley) was daughter of multi-millionaire Lt-Col Wilfred Ashley (1st Baron Mount Temple) and sister of Edwina, Countess Mountbatten. She married the WWI flying ace, Captain Alec Cunningham-Reid in 1927. The couple later divorced and he sued her for half her fortune in 1930.
Born in Belfast Lavery studied at the Haldene Academy in Glasgow and in Paris at the Academie Julian. Influenced by Bastien-Lepage, he worked in the painters’ colony at Grèz-sur-Loing. On his return to Scotland he became one of the leaders of the Glasgow School. In 1912 he was commissioned to pint the Royal Family for the National Portrait Gallery. He was knighted in 1918 and became one of the great British Impressionist society portrait interior painters.

Self-taught, Thomas Lawrence was a brilliant draughtsman and known for his gift of capturing a likeness, as well as his virtuoso handling of paint. He became an associate of the Royal Academy in 1791, a full member in 1794, and president in 1820. In 1810 he acquired the generous patronage of the Prince Regent, was sent abroad to paint portraits of allied leaders for the Waterloo chamber at Windsor Castle, and is particularly remembered as the Romantic portraitist of the Regency. Lawrence’s love affairs were not happy (his tortuous relationships with Sally and Maria Siddons became the subject of several books) and, in spite of his success, he spent most of life deep in debt. He never married. At his death, Lawrence was the most fashionable portrait painter in Europe.
