All lots are offered subject to Matthew Barton Ltd’s Conditions of Business and to reserves. The Conditions of
Business for Buyers, are published at the end of the printed catalogue.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE, THAT WEIGHTS MAY ONLY BE ACCURATE WITHIN
5 GRAMS AND THAT ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
It is common practice for many gemstones to be treated by a variety of methods to enhance their appearance and
the international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods. Although heat enhancement of colour is
usually permanent, in some cases this could affect the durability of a gemstone. Oiled gemstones may need re-oiling
after a certain period. If no gemological report is published in the catalogue, prospective buyers should assume that
the gemstones or pearls may have been enhanced by some method. Buyers should be away that Matthew Barton
Ltd’s saleroom estimates assume that gemstones or pearls may have been subjected to such treatments.
Estimates are published as a guide only and are subject to review. The actual hammer price of a lot may well be
higher or lower than the range of figures given and there are no fixed “starting prices”.
A Buyer’s premium of 20% is applicable to all lots in this sale. Excepting lots sold under Temporary Import rules,
which are marked with the symbol ‡ in the printed catalogue (see below), the Buyer’s Premium is subject to VAT at
the standard rate (currently 20%). Unless otherwise indicated lots are offered for sale under the auctioneer's margin
scheme and VAT on the Buyer’s Premium is payable by all buyers.
Lots marked with the symbol ‡ have been imported from outside the European Union (EU) to be sold at auction under
Temporary Import Rules. When released to buyers within the EU, including the UK, the buyer will become the importer
and must pay VAT at the rate of 5% on the hammer price. The Buyer’s premium will be subject to the standard rate of
VAT at 20%. Buyers outside the EU will normally be eligible to obtain a refund in respect of temporary import VAT,
upon satisfactory documentary evidence of exportation. Further information on this matter is available on request.
Matthew Barton Ltd. will be pleased to execute bids on behalf of those clients unable to attend the sale in person,
subject to our Conditions of Business. All bids must be submitted in writing in good time and lots will always be
purchased as cheaply as possible (depending on any other bids received, reserves and competition in the
saleroom). This service is offered free of charge.
Matthew Barton Ltd. can supply quotations for shipping of purchases, including transit insurance and VAT refund
administration fees, and will assist in the application for any export licenses which may be required. Buyers are
reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with UK export regulations and with any local import requirements.

We are pleased to accept major credit cards but regret we are unable to accept American Express. A surcharge of

John Randall (1810-1890) was one of the best known
Coalport artists and a great local celebrity. He was
apprenticed to his uncle Thomas Martin Randall and
painted at the Rockingham factory before joining
Coalport in 1835. His earlier work tended to feature
exotic birds, but in the 1860s he began to paint more
naturalistic studies, often birds of prey in their natural
surroundings. In addition to his work at Coalport, he
was a botanist, geologist, published local historian
and journalist, starting a local newspaper, as well as
serving as a postmaster and a borough councillor.

Lots 17-44: part of the the Kaars Sijpesteijn Family Collection of Chinese blue and white porcelain.
The sellers are direct descendants of the Kaars Sijpesteijn family, who owned and managed various companies in and
around Krommenie (North Holland). The family business stretches back to the 17th century, when they started out as
“rolreders“, a very early form of collective/ corporate entity, revolving around the sailcloth industry in the Zaan area of
Holland. At the time the Dutch sailcloth industry in Krommenie was not only very well known (the sailcloth was very
white and extremely tough), but also had a major economic impact on the region. The family’s products were used in the
sailmaking industry and they used them for their own ships as well as others, including prominently the Dutch East India
Company. Many of the raw materials were brought in from the East and the family’s trading connections with the Orient
were strong for many years. It is hardly surprising the family amassed a large collection of Chinese blue and white wares;
the collection remained together until after World War II, when it was split between family members.

A FLEMISH LEAD ROUNDEL OF ‘THE DEMOLITION OF THE
CITADEL OF ANTWERP BY THE CITIZENS’, ATTRIBUTED TO
JACQUES JONGHELINCK (1530-1606), ANTWERP, CIRCA 1580
centred by the Citadel portico and showing in the background the
remains of the fortifications being dismantled, with small male
and female figures clearing rubble behind a cohort of volunteers
in the foreground, shovels to their shoulders, marching back to
the city led by a drummer and a smaller group to the lower
foreground armed with arquebuses, within a laurel leaf border
18.5cm diameter
This roundel is one from a set of six depicting events surrounding
the ‘Spanish Fury’ of 1576. The ‘Tericos’, mercenaries in the
service of the Spanish authorities, had not been paid, following
Spain’s declaration of bankruptcy. Their consequent rampage
through Antwerp in November saw three days of horror: the
massacre of over 2500 citizens as the Tericos looted and burnt
countless buildings, including the magnificent Town Hall. In
August the following year a Netherlandish coalition overthrew the
Spanish troops in the Citadel and it was subsequently demolished
by the citizenry, as shown in the present roundel.
26
Five of the subjects, including this scene, are derived from
engravings by the Wierix brothers after drawings by Martin de Vos
(1532-1603). Four of the drawings can be found in the Ashmolean
at Oxford and one at the Metropolitan in New York. The fine detail
and modelling of the figures on this series of circular plaquettes
has led to the attribution to Jacques Jonghelinck, the medalist and
sculptor who was Master of the Mint at this period.
For another lead roundel from this series see Morton & Eden, 14th
June 2007, lot 589, and for another two, see Sotheby’s, New York,
Cyril Humphris Collection, 11th January 1995, lot 324. For a full

box with nickel leaf inlay and stringing
roundel 6.5cm diameter, box 10cm wide
Prince William, Duke of Cumberland (1721-1765), was a
younger son of George II. Seen from today’s perspective, his
role in the brutal suppression of the Jacobite Rebellion
perhaps justly earned him the nickname ‘Butcher
Cumberland’, although at the time his prompt action in
stopping the war meant he was hugely popular with most of
the Scottish population, as well as the rest of country, for
delivering them so swiftly from the Jacobite menace.
Following an unsuccessful campaign during the Seven Years
War and the humiliating Convention of Klosterzeven in 1757,
he resigned from all his military and public offices. He
returned to some greater favour under George III, but his
health was deteriorating and he died at just 44 years old in
1765.

Whilst bearing Sir Richard Burbidge’s maker’s mark for retail by
Harrods, this set was undoubtedly manufactured by Roberts &
Belk. The plainer version of this pattern was registered in 1934.
This design of Walter Belk’s was said to have been so popular
when launched in the Second Class dining rooms on the maiden
voyage of the ‘RMS Queen Mary’ in 1936, that White Star-Cunard
wired Roberts & Belk from New York with another order,
apparently representing 50% of the original order, for delivery
when the ship returned to Southampton, as thousands of pieces
had gone missing from the ship’s stock.

Victoria and Prince Albert’s eldest child, Princess Victoria (‘Vicky’),
who was born on 21 November 1840. Her marriage to Prince
Frederick William of Prussia led to her becoming the German
Empress. She maintained close links with her mother and
siblings; her and her husband’s liberal and English sympathies
engendered problems with both Bismarck and their son ‘Kaiser
Bill’.

The Polish-born sculptor Michal Golabek was born in Poznan in
1949. Between 1970 and 1975 he studied at the Poznan Academy
of Fine Arts where he received his diploma in Professor Olgrierd
Truszynski’s atelier of sculpture. He has exhibited extensively and
his artistry has been acknowledged by a number of awards,
including the Gold Medal, 5th Winter Salon in Warsaw (1989) and
the Bronze Medal, The Survey of Polish Sculpture of the Decade
(1989). Among Golabek’s larger work is an imposing figure
entitled ‘Jesus’ and an abstract wood and bronze piece entitled
‘Windy everlasting.’ He now lives and works in Chicago.

Provenance: by repute the estate of the late David Ben-Gurion
(1886-1973), Israel’s first Prime Minister. The initial sale of fully
provenanced items from Ben-Gurion’s estate by his granddaughter, was auctioned in Tel Aviv, April 2011. This sale caused a
great deal of controversy in Israel; consequently a second tranche
of Ben-Gurion property, consigned by the same descendant to the
same auction house, was sold anonymously. This tea kettle and
teapot appeared in this later sale, Shorashim, Tel Aviv, 10th
October 2011, lot 69 and although verbal assurances were given
as to the Ben-Gurion provenance, the problems following the first
sale meant documentation was not provided.

enthusiasm, erecting at least five decorative arches
spanning the streets.
Charles Brutton (1791-1854) was a prominent Exeter
lawyer, serving as the city’s mayor in 1846 and
remembered as the owner at the time of the Exeter
Clock, shown at the 1851 Great Exhibition. The Exeter
Clock, finished in the 1730s, was said to have taken

Hertfordshire. Thence by direct family descent.
237
John Trotter amassed a considerable fortune as an army
contractor. “After the peace of 1783 he urged on the
government the absurdity and extravagance of selling
off all the military stores, only to replace them by new
purchases on the occasion of any alarm, and offered to
warehouse them in his own premises. This was agreed
in 1787. On the outbreak of the French war the business
increased enormously, and by 1807 he had established
109 depots, containing supplies insured for 600,000. The
storekeepers were all appointed and paid by him; there
was no government inspection, and apparently no
government audit. The agreement was that he was paid
the cost of the stores, plus a percentage to cover
expenses and profit. In the hands of an honest and
capable man the system worked efficiently, but it was
felt to be improper to leave the country dependent on
one man or to give one man such vast patronage. In
1807 Sir James Pulteney, then secretary for war,
established the office of storekeeper-general, giving
Trotter the first nomination to the post and taking into
service all his employees. In 1815 Trotter established
the Soho bazaar between Soho Square and Oxford
Street. Intended at first to enable the distressed widows
and daughters of army officers to dispose economically
of their home ‘work’ by renting a few feet of counter,
the bazaar eventually proved a source of wealth to its
promoter. He was a man of many schemes, some of
which led to fortune; others died in their infancy,
including one for the establishment of a universal
language. He died at Connaught Place, London on 6
September 1833.” (J. K. Laughton, ‘Trotter, Henry
Dundas (1802-1859)’, rev. Andrew Lambert, Oxford
Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University
Press, 2004) John Trotter purchased Dyrham Park in
1798; apparently the park’s entrance archway on the St
Albans Road had originally been one of the triumphal
arches erected in London by General Monk for Charles
II’s entry of 1660. The family remained at Dyrham until
the house was requisitioned during the Second World
War, since when it has become a country club.

The arms are those of a descendant of Bradshaw of Bradshaw,
Windley, Holdbrook etc. in Derbyshire.
The maker’s mark is recorded in Grimwade No. 3658 as either
John Moore or possibly Jacob Marsh, but the attribution to
John Moore is much more likely because he is described as a
goldsmith and/or a plate worker of 118 Fleet Street; he certainly
sent silver to be hallmarked at the London Assay Office around
the late 1760s/early 1770s. On the other hand Marsh was a
goldsmith of Cornhill so therefore much more likely to have
been a retailer.

Apparently ‘Mid-18th-century plate bearing the maker’s mark ‘M
C’ accompanied by another is often encountered. The first may be
Michael Cormick’s, a goldsmith with a workshop in Parliament
Street. He was a Roman Catholic and consequently debarred
from becoming a freeman and trading directly with the public.
This may have obliged him to sell his work through a registered
freeman who may have struck the second mark.’ (Ida Delamer &

with prospective Buyers is governed by:(i) these Conditions of Business for Buyers;
(ii) the Conditions of Business for Sellers displayed in the
saleroom and available from Matthew Barton Ltd.;
(iii) Matthew Barton Ltd.’s Authenticity Guarantee;
(iv) Any additional notices and terms printed in the sale
catalogue, in each case as amended by any saleroom
notice or auctioneer’s announcement.
(b) As auctioneer, Matthew Barton Ltd. acts as agent for the Seller.
Occasionally, Matthew Barton Ltd. may own or have a financial
interest in a lot.
Definitions
“Bidder” is any person making, attempting or considering making
a bid, including Buyers;
“Buyer” is the person who makes the highest bid or offer
accepted by the auctioneer, including a Buyer’s principal when
bidding as agent;
“Seller” is the person offering a lot for sale, including their agent
or executors;
“MBL” means Matthew Barton Ltd., Auctioneers, 25 Blythe Road
London W14 0PD, company number 6504692.
“Buyer’s Expenses” are any costs or expenses due to Matthew
Barton Ltd. from the Buyer;
“Buyer’s Premium” is the commission payable by the Buyer on the
Hammer Price at the rates set out in the Guide for Prospective Buyers;
“Hammer Price” is the highest bid for the property accepted by
the auctioneer at the auction or the post auction sale price;
“Purchase Price” is the Hammer Price plus applicable Buyer’s
Premium and Buyer’s Expenses;
“Reserve Price” (where applicable) is the minimum Hammer
Price at which the Seller has agreed to sell the lot.
(c) Without prejudice to Condition 4(b), any claim against MBL
and/or the Seller by a Bidder is limited to the Purchase Price for
the relevant lot. Neither MBL nor the Seller shall be liable for
any indirect or consequential losses.
(d) Nothing in Condition 4 shall exclude or limit the liability of
MBL or the Seller for death or personal injury caused by the
negligent acts or omissions of MBL or the Seller.
5.
Bidding at Auction
(a) MBL has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction.
Before sale, Bidders must complete a Registration Form and
supply such information and references as MBL requires.
Bidders are personally liable for their bid and are jointly and
severally liable with their principal, if bidding as agent (in which
case MBL’s prior and express consent must be obtained).
(b) MBL advises Bidders to attend the auction, but MBL will
endeavour to execute absentee written bids provided that
they are, in MBL’s opinion, received in sufficient time and in
legible form.
(c) When available, written and telephone bidding is offered as a
free service at the Bidder’s risk and subject to MBL’s other
commitments; MBL is therefore not liable for failure to execute
such bids. Telephone bidding may be recorded.
6.
Import, Export and Copyright Restrictions
MBL and the Seller make no representations or warranties as to
whether any lot is subject to import, export or copyright restrictions.
It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to obtain any copyright clearance
or any necessary import, export or other licence required by law,
including licenses required under the Convention on the
International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
7.
Conduct of the Auction
(a) The auctioneer has discretion to refuse bids, withdraw or reoffer lots for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if (s)he
believes that there may be an error or dispute, and may also
take such other action as (s)he reasonably deems necessary.
(b) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding in
such increments as (s)he considers appropriate and is entitled
to place bids on the Seller’s behalf up to the Reserve Price for
the lot, where applicable.
(c) Subject to Condition 7(a), the contract between the Buyer and
the Seller is concluded on the striking of the auctioneer’s
hammer.
(d) Any post-auction sale of lots shall incorporate these
Conditions of Business.
8.
Payment and Collection
(a) Unless otherwise agreed in advance, payment of the Purchase
Price is due in pounds sterling immediately after the auction
(the “Payment Date”).
(b) Title in a lot will not pass to the Buyer until MBL has received
the Purchase Price in cleared funds. MBL will generally not
release a lot to a Buyer before payment. Earlier release shall
not affect passing of title or the Buyer’s obligation to pay the
Purchase Price, as above.
(c) The refusal of any licence or permit required by law, as
outlined in Condition 6, shall not affect the Buyer’s obligation
to pay for the lot, as per Condition 8(a).
(d) The buyer must arrange collection of lots within 10 working
days of the auction. Purchased lots are at the Buyers risk from
the earlier of (i) collection or (ii) 10 working days after the
auction. Until risk passes, MBL will compensate the Buyer
for any loss or damage to the lot up to a maximum of the
Purchase Price actually paid by the Buyer. MBL’s assumption of
risk is subjected to the exclusions detailed in Condition 5(d) of
the Conditions of Business Sellers
(e) All packing and handling of lots is at the Buyer’s risk. MBL
will not be liable for any acts or omissions of third party
packers or shippers.
The Buyer’s Premium, Buyer’s Expenses and Hammer Price
are subject to VAT, where applicable.
3.
4.
Examination of Lots
(a) MBL’s knowledge of lots is partly dependent on information
provided by the Seller and MBL is unable to exercise exhaustive
due diligence on each lot. Each lot is available for examination
before sale. Bidders are responsible for carrying out
examinations and research before sale to satisfy themselves
over the condition of lots and accuracy of descriptions.
(b) All oral and/or written information provided to Bidders relating
to lots, including descriptions in the catalogue, condition
reports or elsewhere are statements of MBL’s opinion and not
representations of fact. Estimates may not be relied on as a
prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be
revised from time to time at MBL’s absolute discretion.
Exclusions and limitations of liability to Buyers
(a) MBL shall refund the Purchase Price to the Buyer in
circumstances where it deems that the lot is a counterfeit,
subject to the terms of MBL’s Authenticity Guarantee.
(b) Subject to Condition 4(a), neither MBL nor the Seller:(i) is liable for any errors or omissions in any oral or written
information provided to Bidders by MBL, whether negligent
or otherwise;
(ii) gives any guarantee or warranty to Bidders and any implied
warranties and conditions are excluded (save in so far as
such obligations can not be excluded by English law), other
than the express warranties given by the Seller to the Buyer
(for which the Seller is solely responsible) under the
Conditions of Business for Sellers;
(iii) accepts responsibility to Bidders for acts or omissions
(whether negligent or otherwise) by MBL in connection
with the conduct of auctions or for any matter relating to
the sale of any lot.

the amount achieved on re-sale, including all costs incurred in

Matthew Barton Ltd’s Authenticity Guarantee
If Matthew Barton Ltd sells an item of Property which is later
shown to be a “counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Matthew
Barton Ltd. will rescind the sale and return the Buyer the total
amount paid by the Buyer to Matthew Barton Ltd. for that
Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price.
The guarantee lasts for one (1) year after the date of the relevant
auction, is for the benefit of the Buyer only and is nontransferable.
“Counterfeit” means an item of Property that in Matthew Barton Ltd’s
reasonable opinion is an imitation created with the intent to deceive
over the authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where
the correct description of such matters is not included in the catalogue
description for the Property.
Property shall not be considered Counterfeit solely because of any
damage and/or restoration and/or modification work (including, but
not limited to, recolouring, tooling or repatinating).
Please note that this guarantee does not apply if either:(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally
accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the
sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a
conflict of such opinions;
(i) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the
item was a Counterfeit would have been by means of processes
not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably
expensive or impractical; or likely to have caused damage to or
loss in value to the Property (in Matthew Barton Ltd’s
reasonable opinion); or
(i) there has been no material loss in value of the Property from its
value had it accorded with its catalogue description.
To claim under this guarantee the Buyer must:(i) notify Matthew Barton Ltd in writing within one (1) month of
receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the
authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot
number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the
reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and
(i) return the Property to Matthew Barton Ltd in the same
condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title
in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the
date of the sale.
Matthew Barton Ltd has discretion to waive any of the above
requirements. Matthew Barton Ltd may require the Buyer to obtain at
the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised
experts in the relevant field and acceptable to Matthew Barton Ltd
Matthew Barton Ltd shall not be bound by any reports produced by
the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its
own expense. In the event Matthew Barton Ltd decides to rescind the
sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable
costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports,
provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in
advance and in writing by Matthew Barton Ltd.
