拍品描述
AN EMBROIDERED VELVET TUNIC OF A SHERWOOD FORESTER 17TH CENTURY Of green facecloth, the sleeves of red facecloth, the whole trimmed with silver braid 94cm high, 55cm wide at the shoulders Provenance: The Savile Family, Rufford Abbey, Nottinghamshire; sold Knight, Frank and Rutley and Christie's house sale, 11-21 October 1938, lot 332. Roger Warner, Esq., Burford, Oxfordshire. Christopher Gibbs, Esq., The Manor House, Clifton Hampden, Christie's, 25-26 September, lot 131, where purchased by Robert Kime This is perhaps the perfect Robert Kime object: a complex mix of rich, yet disarmingly simple, textiles from one of England's celebrated ancient families, the Saviles of Rufford Hall, Nottinghamshire. The tunic found its way into the hands of Roger Warner (1913-2008), a textiles and vernacular furniture dealer and collector in Burford, much visited by Kime when at Oxford. Warner applied the silver braid here, reflecting an officer's uniform of the Sherwood Foresters, the famous Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire county regiment whose uniform comprised Lincoln green facings and silver lace until 1831 (W Y Carman, Richard Simkin's uniforms of the British Army: the infantry regiments, Exeter, p. 72). Appropriately enough it surfaced in Christopher Gibbs's (d. collection at his family's home in Clifton Hampden. Gibbs (1938-2018) was one of the most famous dealers in great objects with famous and often romantic histories. Kime was deeply influenced by Chrissie Gibbs's historic, exotic and unstuffy approach to objects, sometimes paradoxically linked to old-fashioned English hierarchy, empire and antiquarianism. Both men were often brought under the spell of an object's historical associations as much for its visual appeal.
