Constructed between 1791 and 1797 to designs by the architect James Playfair, the house is constructed of finely detailed granite ashlar and consists of a main block flanked by raised wings with a pair of lower pavilions extending to the back connected by a semicircular service wing enclosing a central courtyard. Playfair’s design incorporates Masonic, Egyptian and Roman elements in the overall plan which parallel work by the architect Sir John Soane. Commissioned by Charles Gordon of Cairness and Buthlaw, the house remained in the Gordon family until the 1930s when it was sold to the Countess of Esk. The post-war years saw Cairness House, like many country houses in Britain, gradually slip into disrepair and by the early 1990s it was listed as a ‘Building at Risk’ by the Scottish Civic Trust. In 2001 the present owners purchased Cairness and set about an extensive plan of preservation and restoration of the period interiors. Years of neglect were reversed, plasterwork and mouldings repaired, and an authentic colour scheme reintroduced to recreate the original neoclassical interiors. Their painstaking work and attention to detail saw the project win the Georgian Group Architectural Award for ‘Best Restoration of a Georgian Country House in Britain’ in 2009. The contents selected for sale are a reflection of the interiors at Cairness and include a fine collection of 18th and 19th century furniture, paintings, and works of art.

(ENGLISH, 1787-1849) WILLIAM CHARLES MACREADY, ACTING IN THE ROLE OF HAMLET WEARING A RED TOGA oil on canvas 93cm x 70cm Note: William Macready (1763-1893) was an English actor, known for his roles in Shakespearean plays and his work within modern English drama during the first half of 19th century. His rise to public fame came after his success in the titlerole of Sheridan Knowles’s William Tell, before trips to both the United States and Europe. In 1837 he joined the management of Covent Garden, and later Drury Lane in the 1840s, where he performed for the last time as Macbeth in 1851. Macready and Etty met when travelling in Italy during the 1820s and became “very warm” friends for the remainder of their days after this chance encounter. Documented evidence of Macready and Etty’s relationship is seen in letters from the latter, congratulating the former on his performances in King Lear, Comus and Much Ado About Nothing, dated 1838-1843. The signed letters are held at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington D.C. £3,000-4,000 77 SIR HENRY RAEBURN R.A., R.S.A.

Note: This portrait dates circa 1785 and the sitter has been traditionally identified as Lt Governor Henry Hamilton, although this attribution is now questioned. The format of the portrait follows other known paintings by Raeburn, in particular a portrait of the Thomas Carmichael, 5th Earl of Hyndford, which uses the same pose and chair with a tree in the background for the subject, with the only notable difference being the far landscape in the background.

The grade B listed house, dating to the early part of the 19th century, is a perfect example of a classic Georgian country house. Commodious without being ostentatious, Auchtertool adheres to the classic proportions and influences that dominated domestic and public architecture during the Georgian period. From an early age Peter Nicholson had a strong interest in history, architecture, and antiques, and in particular all things Scottish. At Auchtertool he and Lori were able to create a home to display a collection built up over many years, fashioning interiors redolent in the look and feel of a Scottish baronial house, all applied with a sense of history, comfort, and a touch of whimsy. Peter was a skilled restorer and craftsman, and a number of the pieces in the house were handmade by him in his workshop. He not only restored items, but sympathetically incorporated antique elements into new pieces, or completely recreated antique items for modern living. Lyon & Turnbull is pleased to be able to offer this uniquely Scottish collection for sale.

Last exhibited by the R.S.A. in 1824, and the subject only recently identified, this dynamic portrait of the dashing young artist swathed in metres of red tartan, is representative of a group of portraits meant to convey an unequivocable Scottish identity. Beginning with the publication of Sir Walter Scott's novel Waverley in 1814, there was renewed interest in the history, culture and traditional dress of Scotland, and it was with Scott's influence that George IV's visit to Edinburgh was organised in 1822, the year this portrait was painted. The royal visit, the first for a British monarch since 1650, was marked with a series of high profile events, processions and pageants, all to celebrate the Scottish national identity and reinforce the King's ties to Scotland and improve his popularity after his accension to the throne the year before. Sir John Watson Gordon (1788 - 1864) succeeded Sir Henry Raeburn as the preeminent Scottish portrait painter of the first half of the 19th century. He painted many famous Scottish individuals including Sir Walter Scott and James Andrew Ramsay, 10th Earl and 1st Marquess of Dalhousie. Watson Gordon and Grant exhibited at the Royal Academy throughout the nineteenth century with the former elected President in 1850 and Grant in 1866. £2,000-3,000 Fine Furniture - pages3.qxd:Layout 1 8/4/15 09:40 Page 82 Fine Furniture - pages3.qxd:Layout 1 8/4/15 09:40 Page 83 Arms & Armour 240 GERMAN BREAST PLATE CIRCA 1500 rope moulded neck and arm cuts missing lance rest corroded overall 12in high £300-500 241 ITALIAN BREAST PLATE EUROPEAN BURGONET SPANISH SHOT PROOF BREAST PLATE CIRCA 1600 with rope moulded neck decorated with triple lines around the edge 14in high £500-700 £800-1,200 243 242 19TH CENTURY in the 16th century style, of peascod form, with raised central rib, decorated with three long panels of etched foliate scrolls, two neck buckles and raised rivet heads throughout 244 GERMAN BACK PLATE 13in high 245 GERMAN COMBED BASSINET CIRCA 1590 the crown with scalloped edge, large frontal rim with pierced applied decoration, two ear flaps hinged and pierced 19TH CENTURY in the 16th century style, the entire plate etched with two figures of knights in armour, rope moulded edges, foliate infill CIRCA 1600 of patinated blackened iron, with rose head brass rivets, hinged combined ear and cheek pieces, short peak. 10in high 17in high 13in high £800-1,200 £1,000-1,500 £1,200-1,800 246 247 248 PAIR OF GOTHIC STYLE LEGHARNESSES CIRCA 1830 decorated with brass flower head rivets, on maroon background on each cuisse, with plain greaves POLE ARM with long heavy triangular section blade, with reinforced point, associated haft and base 83in long £200-300 PAIR OF SCOTTISH HIGHLAND TARGES decorated with roundels, brass plates and tooled strap work, the back covered in leather and with iron grips, with a central brass boss threaded to take a spike (2) 33in high 21” diameter Note: Possibly for the Eglington Tournament £200-300 £250-350 Fine Furniture - pages3.qxd:Layout 1 8/4/15 09:40 Page 84 84 Lyon & Turnbull 249Y MAMALUKE HILTED GENERAL OFFICER’S PRESENTATION SWORD the gilt metal hilt of matted brass, ivory slab sided grip with original bullion sword knot through the pierced pommel, the corroded curved single edged clipped point blade inscribed in a panel; “The Blade Of This Sword Presented / By Major General Archibald Campbell KCB / To Captain Angus MacDonald”; the other side etched trophies of arms 250 HEAVY CAVALRY TROOPER’S BACK SWORD 1778 PATTERN the iron grip of flat section with two swept bars with replacement grip, vase shaped pommel, single edge blade with wide central un-marked fuller, together with a PAIR OF STEEL SPURS tied with a red ribbon (3) 36in blade £400-600 36in blade Note: Archibald Campbell of Inverneill (1739-1791) £700-1,000 251 ENGLISH HUNTING HANGER 252 CONTINENTAL HUNTING HANGER CIRCA 1690 with black patinated iron guard with double hand guard and flat section knuckle guard that screws to the pommel, wooden grip missing cover and with remains of copper wire, the curved single edged blade with two fullers CIRCA 1700 cast brass hilt with shell knuckle guard of baroque form with stag horn grip, bun-shaped segmented pommel, the single edged blade etched with VIVAT ORANGE and foliage scroll decoration 29in blade 23in blade £300-500 £500-700 253 HUNTING HANGER CIRCA 1750 with gilt brass hilt the hand guard in the form of a pierced shell knuckle guard decorated with cast scrolls, black leather grip bound with a double twist of copper wire, single edge blade with central fuller 21in blade £250-350 Fine Furniture - pages3.qxd:Layout 1 8/4/15 09:40 Page 85 Fine Furniture & Works of Art 85 255 SPANISH MIQUELET LOCK SPORTING GUN CIRCA 1800 with two stage barrel octagonal at the breech stamped Lazarino the walnut full stock damaged at the muzzle replacement ramrod 58in long £600-800 256 PERCUSSION SPORTING GUN signed Cox & Son, two stage barrel, pale walnut full stock, brass trigger guard 51in long £300-500 257 254 GERMAN OR BOHEMIAN LARGE DOUBLE HANDED PROCESSIONAL SWORD with scroll cross guard, wooden grip, the blade with leather hand grip before two projecting pointed arms curling towards the blade tip, the double edged blade with waves the entire length 5ft 7in overall £3,000-5,000 PERCUSSION LARGE BORE WILD FOWLING GUN the lock signed G.

In 1702 he had modelled two elaborate mythological subjects, the Judgement of Paris and Diana and Callisto, which give a premonition of the sculptor’s ‘pictorial’ style of composition, with strong diagonals animating the groups of figures, which are laden with exquisitely rendered details. Soldani had learned at the shortlived Medicean Academy in Rome, where one of his instructors had been Ercole Ferrata, himself a follower of Algardi. Soldani was thus a leading member of the third generation of sculptors in the tradition of the Roman Baroque, of which the present group, Ganymede and the Eagle, is a typical product. M It was probably statuary after the Antique and his splendid portrait medallions that initially attracted the British ‘Milordi’ to Soldani’s studio at the Mint, which was conveniently situated opposite the entrance to the Uffizi Gallery. Surviving correspondence from the sculptor to his representative in London, G.G. Zamboni, describes Soldani’s attempts to sell, and get payment from, these well-heeled English gentlemen. Soldani’s first letter, of 15 October 1716, described Lord Burlington’s purchase of two bronze reliefs of The Seasons and his order for two others (all now in the Royal Collection). It also relates how Burlington commissioned some other groups in bronze from models that he had seen in Soldani’s studio. These had since been cast, but not paid for, and so had not been forwarded to His Lordship. Soldani enclosed for Zamboni’s benefit a list of the four compositions in question, as well as their measurements and prices. It begins with Venus and Adonis, of which there is an example in the J. Paul Getty Museum, California, and ends with a splendid, Bernini-esque, group of Apollo & Daphne. In between them, the sculptor lists casts from terracotta models that the flighty young Lord Burlington also had seen and commissioned: a matching pair of rather smaller and simpler groups depicting Leda and the Swan and Ganymede and the Eagle. To Soldani’s chagrin Burlington did not honour his obligation, but further correspondence from Soldani to Zamboni indicate such a pair was later sent to England. The present statuette - with its interesting Anglo-Irish provenance that might take it as far back as 1716 may well be one of them. The only other pair, in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, is from an Italian source. The Earl of Lanesborough was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1756 for Humphrey Butler, 2nd Viscount Lanesborough. The Butler family descended from Theophilus Butler, who represented County Cavan and Belturbet in the Irish House of Commons. In 1715 he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Newtown-Butler, of the County of Fermanagh, with remainder to the heirs male of his father. It may have been he who acquired the present bronze, probably with its pair of Leda and the Swan (now missing), from Soldani’s representative G.G. Zamboni in London.
