*Michael Ayrton (1921-1975)'Desolate Garden', c.1945inscribed as titled l.r., pencil14.7 x 23.5cmA powerful neo-romantic drawing closely related to two works from 1944, ‘Convulsive Landscape’ and ‘Tree Forms’, all of which show Ayrton's response to and development of ideas drawn from Paul Nash and Graham Sutherland, both of whom Ayrton met between 1944-46. The religious/naturalistic imagery, with an agonised body configured of branches, roots and stones, builds imaginatively on Sutherland's own depictions of Christ's crucified suffering, first produced during this period. (See: Peter Cannon-Brookes, 'Michael Ayrton', pp.15,16,18, plates 24 and 25).*Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.Condition report: Not examined out of glazed frame, slight wave to the sheet and rippling top left corner.

Very fine, second with small indentation in centre, very rare; both pierced for suspension £400-£500 --- Charles Thomas Lucas, Bt (1820-95) and Sir Thomas Lucas (1822-1902), brothers, b London; C.T. Lucas commenced business as a building contractor in Norwich in the early 1840s and was soon joined by his brother in a venture entitled Lucas Bros in Lowestoft. Involved in much construction work in Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft, as well as throughout East Anglia, they were the principal contractors for rebuilding the Covent Garden Theatre under the architect, E.M. Barry, after it was destroyed by fire in 1856. They, and 13 other subscribers, acquired the lease after jointly subscribing some £80,000. Building began in September 1857 and was completed on 8 May 1858 the following year, with much of the joinery completed in Lowestoft and shipped to London by sea. The Covent Garden contract cemented the company’s reputation in the metropolis with the establishment of a factory in Belvedere road, Lambeth, and Lucas Bros subsequently built Cannon Street and Charing Cross stations, the Langham Hotel and the Star and Garter Hotel in Richmond, the Royal Albert Hall and the Floral Hall in Covent Garden, to name but a few. In 1874 the brothers invited the Beaconsfield-based railway, gas and water contractor Sir John Aird, Bt (1833-1911), to join them and the result was three different but allied companies; between them they were involved in many railway contracts throughout England and Scotland and would have constructed the line from Suakin to Berber, but the cessation of the Egyptian conflict in 1886 caused the cancellation of that government contract. Charles Lucas died at his home, Warnham Court, near Horsham, which he acquired in 1866. Please note ivory is covered by CITES legislation and may be subject to import/export and trade restrictions

As the roasting flames were extinguished, somebody had the ingenious idea of gathering up the remaining ox bones and turning them into bone china. From the special clay, four souvenirs were created. Two punchbowls were made for the Talbot Inn and the Wheatsheaf Inn, while a salver and a matching cup was made for each partner.William Copeland's cup remained in the Copeland family and was previously housed at Kibblestone Hall. Thomas Garrett's cup was purchased at Puttick and Simpson in 1930 for £13. It was previously in the T G Cannon Collection and sold at Christie's on 31 January 1918 for 18 guineas. The Garrett cup and salver was illustrated by Cannon in his book, Old Spode (1925), pl.56. Cannon recorded that it was very much admired by Queen Alexandra at an exhibition of Old Spode, and would have been presented to her but for the fact it was previously sold. The Garrett cup and salver is also illustrated by Vega Wilkinson, Copeland (2000), p.5.The Copeland cup and salver is illustrated by Arthur Hayden, Spode and His Successors (1925), op. p.178 and by Vega Wilkinson, The Copeland China Collection (1989), p.19, fig.S156 and in Spode-Copeland-Spode (2002), p.59, col. pl.27.
