Order of Sale

Occupying a position high on the banks of Derwentwater inCumbria, Lingholm was designed in the 1870s by Sir AlfredWaterhouse (1830-1905), one of the most acclaimedarchitects of the 19th century. The property was originallybuilt for Colonel J. F. Greenall of the Greenall brewingfamily, however during the 1890s it was unoccupied or letfurnished in the summer months, and in the early 1900s itwas purchased by Colonel George Kemp.

Kemp was born in Rochdale, Lancashire in 1866 and waseducated at Shrewsbury School and Balliol College, Oxford.He transferred to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1884, wherehe graduated in the ‘Classical Tripos’ in 1888. As abusinessman, Kemp entered the textile industry, eventuallybecoming Chairman of Kelsall & Kemp, flannelmanufacturers in Rochdale. From 1885 to 1892 he playedfirst-class cricket with Lancashire, scoring three centuriesin his career, and also representing Cambridge University.He was elected Member of Parliament for Heywood as aLiberal Unionist in 1895 and, in 1900, he served in the BoerWar, during which service he was mentioned in despatches.He commanded the 32nd Battalion of the ImperialYeomanry to the end of the war in 1902, and in 1909 he wasknighted for his war services.

At the January 1910 General Election he was elected MP forManchester North West, this time as a Liberal, but steppeddown from the House of Commons in 1912, declaring thathe “loathed politics”. A year later, he was raised to thepeerage as Baron Rochdale of Rochdale. Called to waragain a few years later, Lord Rochdale was LieutenantColonel in command of the 1st/6th Battalions of theLancashire Fusiliers, and was temporarily Brigadier of the127th (Manchester) Brigade of the 42nd (East Lancashire)Division during the Battle of Gallipoli in 1915.

Rochdale married Lady Beatrice Mary Egerton, thirddaughter of Francis Egerton, 3rd Earl of Ellesmere on 5August 1896. Ellesmere had inherited the estates andfamous collections at Worsley Hall in Lancaster andBridgewater House in London, and these wonderfulcollections may have encouraged Rochdale to begin his owncollections, which he did in earnest, in the tradition of otherwealthy industrialists of his time, such as Sir WilliamBurrell. As so often happens, his collecting was carried outin partnership with a scholarly dealer. Rochdale’s dealerand mentor was the famous authority on furniture andworks of art, Percy Macquoid. Macquoid (1852–1925) was atheatrical designer, collector and connoisseur of English

furniture, and the author of articles, largely for Country Life.He produced four books on the history of English furniture,the first major survey of the subject, which have beenreprinted and are still of use today: The Age of Oak, The Ageof Walnut, The Age of Mahogany and The Age of Satinwood.He collaborated with Ralph Edwards on The Dictionary ofEnglish Furniture (three volumes, 1924–1927), and severalpieces in the present collection are illustrated in thiscelebrated reference work.

Lord Rochdale was eventually to own four houses. Apartfrom Lingholm, his other homes were Beechwood inRochdale, Old Hall in Highgate, (Lord Arundel’s old house)and Gunnerside in Swaledale. Slowly these houses began tofill with early furniture and works of art, purchased frommainly London galleries and authorities of the day,including Harold Ainsworth Peto, Sir George Donaldson,Morant & Co, Mallett & Son and, of course, Macquoidhimself. All these purchases were recorded in a marvellousinventory in the possession of the current Viscount,recording dates of purchase and from whom. The inventoryrecords furniture and works of art from the 16th and 17th

centuries; oak and walnut furniture from England, Franceand Italy; Flemish and Italian tapestries and textiles; thecelebrated collection of maiolica, some sold in London in

the 1970’s, and at Lyon & Turnbull more recently, and theremainder in the present collection. There is also rare 17thcentury English silver and silver-gilt and a magnificentcollection of engraved glassware. Where it has beenpossible to identify a piece in this inventory, the informationis annotated next the appropriate lot.

When Lingholm was purchased, panelling was introducedinto the main rooms. The dining room was fitted with aparticularly spectacular carved oak fire surround, salvagedfrom James I’s Hunting Lodge near Southampton. In thehall, Spanish gilt-leather walls created a sumptuous andrich effect, a fitting backdrop to the Renaissance periodfurniture and works of art. To the side of the building, thegreat Stone Hall was created to show off the tapestries,again bought under the guidance of Percy Macquoid andincluded in the sale. The panelled walls with local slateabove the door level are centred on a magnificent ItalianRenaissance fireplace, purchased in Florence fromGiuseppe Pacini Florence on March 20th 1903. The baywindow allowed spectacular views towards the lake, takingin part of the famously planted gardens with its collection ofrhododendrons.

This collection of rhododendrons and azaleas, many plantedin the 1920s and 1930’ are one of Lingholm’s chief glories.

On acquiring the estate, LordRochdale created terraces andcommissioned Bertram Symons-Jeune to lay out the watergardens. The woods aroundLingholm were – and still are –the home of red squirrels andother woodland creatures.

These creatures captured theimagination of one of Lingholm’smost famous visitors, thechildren’s writer and illustrator,Beatrix Potter. The house wasthe favourite summer retreat forPotter and her family and in1901, whilst staying there, shesent a story and picture letterabout a red squirrel colony in

Cumberland to Norah Moore, the daughter of her formergoverness, Annie Moore. “There are such numbers ofsquirrels in the woods here,” she wrote in the letter, “Theyare all very busy now gathering nuts which they hide awayin little holes where they can find them again in winter.” Hercorrespondence was illustrated with sketches of squirrels,one of which she called ‘Nutkin’. She spent the summersketching these squirrels, the landscape around the house,and St Herbert’s Island in the centre of the lake, whichwould eventually become Owl Island in Squirrel Nutkin.Potter sketched and photographed the island from bothsides of the lake from the shores at Lingholm. The islandand its surroundings can be accurately identified fromPotter’s illustrations, one shown here from lot 151. Potteralso drew inspiration here for The Tale of PeterRabbit which uses Lingholm for scenes in the vegetablegarden, with its distinctive wicket gate.

‘The squirrels set sail on their rafts for Owl Island.’

A plaque commemorating the use of the house as a hospitalduring World War I.

To the end of his life, Lord Rochdale kept collecting: afamiliar figure between the wars in the sale rooms. Thecollection grew steadily, however eventually it all came toLingholm after Beechwood was demolished; Gunnersidesold, and Highgate Old Hall was destroyed after the war.The house was used as a hospital for injured servicepersonnel during World War One; however it continued toremain in the family. Lord Rochdale died in 1945 and wassucceeded by his eldest son, John, who became the firstViscount Rochdale in 1960. He was succeeded by thecurrent Viscount, St John Durival Kemp. Lord Rochdale andhis wife, Lady Rochdale, hope that the excitement andpleasure that were engendered in collecting and acquiringthese pieces will, in turn, be enjoyed by new collectors atthis sale.

Note:The use of such candlesticks or torch-stands, ofwhich numerous examples exist, has been muchdebated. However the consensus is now thatthese objects were only used as torches (mash’alin Persian). This kind of cylindrical pillar shapeclearly appeared in the second quarter of thesixteenth century and may come from north-western India. The shaft of pillar-candlesticksmay have changed from the smooth to thefaceted type around the mid sixteenth century,probably in western Iran.

Exhibited:Manchester City Art Gallery, 'Exhibition of Works of Artfrom Private Collections in the North West and NorthWales', 21st September to 30th October, 1960; Cat. 27Note:This painting, dating from the early 16th century, is are-imagining of the Flemish artist Dieric Bouts' c.1460painting of the same subject. The scene depictedillustrates Luke 7:36-50 in which Christ is dining in thehouse of Simon the Pharisee. A woman from the

village, traditionally identified as the Magdalen, enters."As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, shebegan to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wipedthem with her hair, kissed them and poured perfumeon them." Simon reacts in protest, explaining to Jesusthat she is a sinner. Jesus explains that her actionsprove her love and penitence and forgives her sinsbefore the assembled guests. Though faithfullyemulating many aspects of Bouts' painting, this scenehas several notable differences. The figure on the farright in this version is a wine bearer, whose animatedpose enhances a sense of the dramatic within thescene. In Bouts' original however, the figure on the farright is a stern-looking Dominican monk, kneeled inprayer.

By the endof the 19th century he was activelydesigning for theatrical productions, andwas a favoured designor of the notedactor and producer Herbert BeerbohmTree. He was also a keen collector andscholar of antique furniture, contributingarticles to 'Country Life', writing andcompiling four highly influential books onthe subject beginning in 1904 with 'TheAge of Oak', then continuing with 'The Ageof Walnut', the Age of Mahogany', and'The Age of Satinwood'. He latercollaborated with Ralph Edwards on 'TheDictionary of English Furniture', stillregarded as the most comprehensivestudy of the British furniture andconsidered a standard reference for thissubject.Macquoid was probably introduced to the1st Lord Rochdale through the Colonel'scousin Harold Peto, whose name appearsregularly in the household inventory as asupplier of furniture and furnishings toLingholm. Macquoid served as an advisorto Lord Rochdale, makingrecommendations and suggestions forpossible acquisitions.
