A significant Derby botanical plate painted by William Billingsley, circa 1790Made in Chelsea style with a moulded 'feathered edge' picked out in brown and turquoise, painted with a leafy spray of yellow flowers and a smaller spray of purple flowers curving around the cavetto, 21.5cm diam, partially erased crown, crossed batons and D mark, long-tailed 7 in puce inside footrim, impressed G beside footrimFootnotes:ProvenanceKenneth C Klepser CollectionDavid Lyndsay CollectionThis plate is illustrated alongside three other so-called 'Klepser' plates by W D John, William Billingsley (1968), illustration 27. Another was sold by Bonhams on 2 November 2011, lot 172. They are marked with a partially obscured crossed batons mark.Two suggestions have been made with regard to the 'Klepser' group. Firstly, that they are part of a dozen plates referred to in the London Day Book for 1787 as being ordered by Lord Hawke. Secondly, that they are the Chelsea 'replacement' plates which Samuel Keys attributed to William Billingsley in his 'Recollections' of 1837. These possibilities are discussed by Stephen Mitchell, The Marks on Chelsea-Derby (2007), pp.130-3.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Darren Yeadon (b.1970) Fish Signed, Carrara marble, 31cm high See illustration Brought up by the sea in Whitby, Darren Yeadon began his work as a quarryman and stonemason. He developed a real flair and interest in carving stone and three-dimensional forms. Suffering a life-threatening road accident in his mid-twenties caused him to readdress his approach to life and kindled his intense fascination and appreciation of nature and the beauty of our time on earth. He began carving rocks and off cuts from the quarry developing a strong personal style and dedication. He soon began to receive commissions and was sent to Italy to find a marble for a client. Seeking to develop a further understanding of the material he went to live in Carrara preferring the quarries used by Michelangelo. Now established in both Pembrokeshire and Whitby, he continues to work from his studio in many types of stone and regularly goes over to Italy to source Carrara marble. He has held exhibitions at the Staithes Gallery Whitby, Tenby Museum, the Houses of Parliament and the Pembrokeshire Botanical Gardens currently hold a number of his works.
