‘Windsor’ Cassel, financial adviser to Edward VII, emigrated from Cologne to Liverpool aged 16, in 1869. Within five years he was earning a substantial salary. By 1888 he owned a residence in Mayfair, renting and then purchasing country houses and sporting estates. He owned an apartment in Paris, built a chalet in the Swiss Alps and rented villas near Biarritz. With the assistance of New York based dealer Joseph Duveen, in the 1890s Cassel collected Meissen porcelain, and from 1902 acquired antique English silver from leading London dealers. In 1904 Cassel purchased Brook House, Park Lane, which he extended and furnished with historic British portraits, French furniture, clocks, jade, porcelain, silver and contemporary paintings. The house and its contents were inherited by his granddaughter Edwina Ashley, who married Lord Mountbatten after Cassel’s death. Brook House was redeveloped, and although the best paintings, porcelain and silver were redisplayed there by the Mountbattens, the remainder of Cassel’s collection was sold at auction in 1932.

This article examines the relationship between a rising mania for ‘old’ pâte-tendre Sèvres porcelain and a growing specialization in collecting practices during the 1830s in Paris and London. Using newly discovered archival evidence, it questions the idea that individuals make collecting histories, and instead posits the notion of collaboration in creating an art collection. It examines a series of interactions between collecting networks and prioritizes the process of collecting rather than the collection itself. This provides an opportunity to consider constructions of identity, class and gender, and also shines a light on the methods of acquisition and value structures of ‘old’ Sèvres and the market for it during this time. At its core, it proposes a collaborative paradigm of object and knowledge exchange between an art collector, the 2nd Earl of Lonsdale (1787–1872), his friend and agent Henry Broadwood (1793–1878) and the dealer Edward Holmes Baldock (1777–1845).

The institute for wax modelling founded in Leipzig by Rudolf Weisker (1845–1887) can be considered an important competitor to the earlier established and more successful producers of nineteenth-century developmental and anatomical wax models, Adolf and Friedrich Ziegler. This article establishes previously unknown aspects relating to Weisker, his background and sources. It examines why models from these producers were collected by universities and university-affiliated museums, and considers important differences affecting the production and ‘status’ of their models. It argues that Weisker’s career and models exemplify the impact of increasing specialization, as well as scientific controversies, during the second half of the nineteenth century, concerning scientific practice, publishing (both two- and three-dimensional) and collecting. It suggests that one reason Weisker was unable to thrive in competition with the Zieglers was that the emphasis of developmental models, especially, moved from illustrative to analytical during this period; Weisker, for reasons suggested here, was unable to respond to these changes.

This article investigates the provenance of four artefacts associated with the military commander Kunwar Singh (1777–1858), who fought a guerrilla campaign against the British during the Indian Uprising of 1857–8. By analysing how these objects were documented and inscribed, it can be shown that, through the invocation of what is characterized here as ‘martial discourse’, British officers framed the acquisition of the arms, armour and ceremonial possessions of an enemy commander in very specific ways. As an overlooked aspect of nineteenth-century British military culture, an examination of martial discourse helps to clarify how British officers presented acquisitions in colonial military contexts. Fundamental to the examples considered here – which include ‘taken in action’, ‘captured’ and ‘spolia opima’ – was an implicit and shared understanding within the British military establishment that artefacts deemed to signify victory and military prowess could be elevated above, and distinguished from those taken during acts of unsanctioned appropriation and looting.
