'Artists' Jewellery, Pre-Raphaelite to Arts and Crafts', C. Gere & G. Munn, Woodbridge, 1989 pages 172-174 for designs, pendant and brooch by Henry Wilson featuring a stag motif Provenance: a private London collection Henry Wilson was born in West Derby, near Liverpool, England on 12th March 1964. Having studied at Kidderminster School of Art, Westminster School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London; he began his career as Chief Assistant to the Gothic revival architect J.D Sedding. As his career progressed, he was increasingly drawn to the associated arts. From 1901 he taught metalwork at the Royal College of Arts and Central School of Arts and Crafts. By 1903 he had published a practical manual Silverwork and Jewellery, detailing his entire working process from initial sketches to notes on how stones should be fixed. His later positions as Master of the Art Workers Guild in 1917 and President of the Arts and Crafts exhibition society from 1915 to 1922 cemented his significance in early-twentieth century design and education. His metalwork and jewellery pieces echo mediaeval styles, deliberately more modest than the extravagant jewels of Victorian high society. His individual style united influences from Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau with his own interpretation of traditional forms, symbols and nature. The product of such style is metalwork and jewellery which is rich in colour, texture and imagery.

HENRY WILSON (1864-1934), W.E. MICKLEWRIGHT (MAKER)
Est: £4,000 - £6,000
HENRY WILSON (1864-1934), W.E. MICKLEWRIGHT (MAKER) ARTS & CRAFTS 'ZODIAC' CHEST, CIRCA 1920 oak, with twelve relief carved Zodiac panels, each with inscription, cast brass lock plate 162cm wide, 84cm high, 60cm deep Provenance: W.E. Micklewright, Norton-sub-Hamdon, SomersetPurchased from his workshop by the father of the current owner. Literature: The Studio, vol. 86. 1923, p. 265 where a similar chest, exhibited at the British Institute of Industrial Art of the same year is illustrated.Note: The Arts & Crafts designer Henry Wilson trained initially as an architect under J. D. Sedding (1838-1891), who had himself been apprenticed to the leading Gothic revival architect George Edmund Street (1824-1881). Wilson continued his architectural commissions as his career progressed, but worked increasingly in metalwork, sculpture and jewellery. The Zodiac chest was illustrated in the Studio Magazine, Vol 86, 1923, and the relief carved panels are said to foreshadow the more sculptural bronzes Wilson designed in the final decade before his death in 1934.This chest was executed by W.E. Micklewright of Norton-sub-Hamdon, Somerset. Henry Wilson’s connection to the small village began in 1894 when he was engaged to design restoration work required for the parish church, St Mary the Virgin. Another chest by Micklewright still sits at the end of the church’s west aisle. The workshop responsible for completing Wilson’s church designs was Charles Trask & Sons, with whom Sedding and Wilson had collaborated from as early as 1869, on St Martin’s Church, Low Marple near Stockport. When Wilson first came to Norton-sub-Hamdon Micklewright was manager of the Charles Trask & Sons workshop, but by the 1920’s he owned and ran the premises. A surviving W. E. Micklewright catalogue illustrates items including the zodiac chest, a clock, cabinet and bed. According to the account of Mr Reg. Sweet, an apprentice in the workshop from 1923-25, the business employed at least eight craftsmen carrying out work predominantly in oak and of a religious nature. Sweet recalls Micklewright’s perfectionist tendencies but lack of business sense, the latter a factor presumably behind the workshop’s premature closure in 1925. The current lot was purchased at this time and, until now, has not left Norton-sub-Hamdon.

He often used the stag motif – an example can be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Harry Wilson Barnitz (American/Ohio, 1864-1916)
Est: $5,000 - $8,000
Harry Wilson Barnitz (American/Ohio, 1864-1916), "Cabin Scene during the Cotton Harvest", oil on canvas board, signed lower right, artist label with signature on stretcher, 18 in. x 24 in., framed. Provenance: Florida Estate. Note: Harry W. Barnitz was a student of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and studied under the renowned American Realist painter, Thomas Eakins. Eakins, who painted a portrait of Barnitz when he was just nineteen, complimented his young student in a letter from 1884, [y]ou draw and paint very well and extremely well for your age. I know no one who has a better start. In 1887, he moved to Atlanta for a brief period and taught at the Atlanta Art School as well as the Washington Seminary for Girls. He also shared a studio with Henry Ossawa Tanner, a fellow student from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Orion Frazee, a local sculptor, art critic, and prominent figure of the Atlanta art scene described him: his manner is the broad, vigorous style of the French school is strong and rich in color. Barnitz left Atlanta to return to Philadelphia in 1889. A rare example from Barnitz time in the South, the work offered here presents a sweeping view of a southern landscape complete with rustic cabin, a woman washing clothes in the stream and a cotton harvest in the background. The composition, luminous color and precise brushwork certainly lend credence to Eakins glowing review of the young painter.
