Cataloguing Practice PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE AND THAT ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE. Weights may only be accurate to within 5 grams. Weights shown as ‘(*oz)’ are in Troy Ounces and usually rounded down to the full ounce. It is common practice for many gemstones to be treated by a variety of methods to enhance their appearance and the international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods. Although heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, in some cases this could affect ihe durability of a gemstone. Oiled gemstones may need re-oiling after a certain period. If no gemmological report is published in the catalogue, prospective Buyers should be aware that the gemstones or pearls could have been enhanced by some method. Condition is not normally recorded and all lots are sold as viewed. Condition reports can be requested prior to sale. Whilst the Auctioneers are pleased to provide a general report of condition, the Auctioneers are not professional conservators or restorers and any statements made are merely subjective, qualified opinion. Prospective Buyers should satisfy themselves in person wherever possible as to the condition of a lot, or ask an agent to inspect it for them. Payment Payment is due in sterling at the conclusion of the sale and before purchases can be released. Please note that we require seven days to clear sterling cheques unless special arrangements have been made in advance of the sale. Cash and UK registered debit card payments above £6,000 and “card holder not present” payments above £2,000 cannot be accepted. Electronic transfers may be sent directly to our bank account: HSBC Bank 38 High Street Dartford Kent DA 1 1 DG VAT Registration Number: 144181627 IBAN Number: GB39HBUK40190422033119 BIC: HBUKGB4B Sort Code: 40-19-04 Account No: 22033119 Account Name: Olympia Auctions

3 A DOCCIA SAUCEBOAT, STAND AND LADLE, CIRCA 1760-70 each painted with scattered floral sprigs, the double lipped shaped oval boat applied with manganese dashed scroll handles to centre and moulded with a band of lobing above the footrim, the shaped oval stand with reed moulded rim, the spoon with deeply dished bowl and pointed terminal moulded with a grotesque mask, each piece with collector's No. 'W5', stand and boat with 'Isaacson / 110' label, stand with Armin B. Allen label, stand 19.5cm long Provenance: Marshall, Field, Chicago; Henry C. and Martha L. Isaacson Collection, Seattle; with Armin B.

5 A PAIR OF SEVRES CUPS AND SAUCERS, 1770 the cylindrical 'gobelets litrons' and deeply dished 'soucoupes' painted by Jacques Fontaine (1735-1807) with ovals of putti to the cups and military trophies to the saucers alternating with plain reserves all within linking gilt-edged reserved borders of berried laurel leaves against a ‘fond Taillendier bleu céleste', each with interlaced Ls mark enclosing date letter 'r' above five dot painter's mark, saucers 14.5cm diameter, cups 7.5cm high Madame du Barry, recently established as Louis XV's mistress, bought a Sèvres service of the same pattern as the present lot on 1st September 1770. This relatively small but expensive service, probably intended for intimate use, is not listed with any tea/coffee pieces, although it did include a 'déjeuner du Roy'. There were some associated items in the listing of her service on the 1794 inventory of her effects, the items including just one cup and saucer, which may have derived from the ‘déjeuner’, although no accompanying 'plateau' is mentioned. Interestingly another contemporaneous group, of almost exactly the same pattern but not from the du Barry service, differs in one essential: these all have a right angle to the border at each link to the reserves, instead of the smooth and deeper curve on the known du Barry service pieces and as seen on these on these cups and saucers. For pieces from the du Barry service, see a set of ten plates in the Royal Collection, acquired by George IV, RCIN 58644, or a pair of bottle coolers, sold Bonham’s, London, 4 December 2019, lot 114. For an example from the similar group, see a bottle cooler, sold Christie’s, New York, 7 October 2022, lot 48. We are grateful to David Peters for his help in cataloguing this for full discussion of the du Barry service see his book ‘Sèvres Plates and Services of the 18th Century’, London, 2015,Vol.II, pp.445. £3,000-5,000

39 AFTER GIAMBOLOGNA AND MASSIMILIANO SOLDANI:THE EXECUTIONER a patinated bronze figure, probably French first half 19th century, the Soldani model directly derived from Giambologna’s ‘Mars’ with the probable addition of the severed head of St John the Baptist, holding a falchion in his other hand, set by the feet on a square ebonised wood plinth 9.5cm high, bronze 35.5cm high See the bronze attributed to Soldani in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, No.8122, based on ‘Mars’ (sometimes titled ‘Gladiator’), one of Giambologna’s most popular models. The primary point of reference for all the later figures is the ‘Dresden Mars’, presented by the artist to the Elector of Saxony, Christian I, now held by the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Inventory No.1765Bl.095Nr.176). Its arrival was recorded in the city’s Kunstkammer archives in 1587: “Brass cast portrait of Mars, sent by Giovanni Bologna to His Grace the Elector.” The strangely splayed fingers of the Giambologna figure’s left hand do suggest a vacancy; Soldani’s answer apparently to fill the space with the dripping head. £1,500-2,500

40 AN ITALIAN BRONZE FIGURE, 'SEATED MERCURY', GIORGIO SOMMER FOUNDRY, NAPLES, LATE 19TH CENTURY after the Antique, the rock inscribed to top rear 'Fond. G. Sommer / Napoli', dark patination, 25cm long Discovered in Herculaneum in 1758 and now thought to be a Roman copy of a 3rd century BC Greek original, the 'Seated Mercury' quickly became famous and continued to be hugely popular. £200-300 41 A BRONZE BUST OF MENELAUS AFTER THE ANTIQUE, PROBABLY FRENCH LATE 19TH CENTURY dark patination, the bearded helmeted head turned to dexter, set on a gilt-bronze waisted socle of square outline, 40cm high Derived from the 'Pasquino' group in the Loggia dei Lanzi, Florence, the elaborate classicising helmet part of an early 19th century restoration by Stefano Ricci (1765-1837), the bust is also sometimes described as the head of Ajax. £300-500

42 AFTER JOHANN HEINRICH VON DANNECKER (1758-1841): ARIADNE ON THE PANTHER a bronze group, probably German or French second quarter 19th century, finely detailed, set on a rectangular plain bronze base mounted on a metal border with pointed flutes to three sides above the marble stand, figure only 34.5 x 31cm, 41 x 37cm overall Dannecker began work in 1803 on Ariadne in his home town of Stuttgart, eventually finishing the marble in 1814, having sold it prior to completion in 1810 to the prominent Frankfurt banker Simon von Bethmann. When the group left the town in 1816 to become the centrepiece of Bethmann’s Odeon (the first purpose built museum in Frankfurt), Stuttgart’s citizens apparently accompanied its departure with a chant of mourning: “Traur’, Oh Stuttgart, traur’ im Grame! Traur’ um deine schönste Dame” (Grieve, oh Stuttgart, grieve in sorrow! Grieve for your most beautiful lady”). The model's fame soon became widespread, leading to numerous reproductions in a variety of media. In 1856 the marble was moved further out of town to the ‘Ariadneum’ until severely damaged by fire in 1943. Following painstaking restoration begun in 1977, it may now be seen in the Liebieghaus in Frankfurt. £2,000-3,000

43 ATTRIBUTED TO MATTHEW NOBLE (1817-1876): SIR ROBERT PEEL a dark brown patinated bronze figure, English, probably third quarter 19th century, modelled wearing tight trousers, frock coat and a heavy cloak draped off one shoulder, clutching a scroll to his breast in one hand, the other hand outstretched to his side, on square base Following the shocking death of Sir Robert Peel (1788-1850) while in office, from a riding accident, there was a great call for statues and busts of the prominent figure. Matthew Noble's marble of Peel for St George's Hall in Liverpool of 1853 appears to be closest in composition to this bronze, Noble also producing a number of busts with a similar tilt to the head, as well as varying full length figures such as those found in Bury, Salford, Tamworth and Parliament Square, London. £400-600

44 AFTER ANTONIN MERCIE (1845-1916): DAVID a French bronze figure, Bardedienne Foundry, Paris, late 19th century, posed sheathing his sword, one foot resting on the head of Goliath, inscribed 'A.

COLLAS BREVETÉ' circular stamp, 61cm high Modelled in Rome in 1869, Mercié presented the life-size figure at the Paris Salon of 1872, the first Salon held since the tumult of the Paris Commune and the preceding disaster of the Franco-Prussian war. Widely admired for its elegance, the figure was also seen as a symbol of France’s hopes for vengeance on the Prussians. The bronze cast by Thiébaut Frères was acquired by the state, exhibited primarily at the Luxembourg Palace and now at the Musée d’Orsay (RF.186). The Barbedienne foundry produced a number of variously sized reductions, adding a loincloth not found on the original. £1,800-2,200

Known for his genre figures, the Black Sea Plastoon (or Plastun) was one of two bronzes by Kovenshenkov chosen to feature amidst a select group of Russian paintings and sculpture at London's Great Exhibition of 1862 (Official Catalogue of the Fine Art Department, Foreign Division (Russia) No.1714, p.230). According to E.V. Karpova (‘Russian and Western European Sculpture of the 18th-Early 20th Centuries’, Saint Petersburg, 2009, p.274) Tsars Nicholas I and Alexander II both patronised the artist, an inventory of Alexander III’s rooms in the Anichkov Palace recording two Kovshenkov bronzes, the Black Sea Plastoon and another titled ‘Sarmat’. £5,000-7,000

LÉONARD', 29.5cm high including red and white marble plinth Alexandre Léonard specialised in animalier subjects, probably influenced by one of his masters, Barye. His works are sometimes misattributed to Agathon Léonard, since both signed similarly. See Pierre Kjellberg, 'Bronzes of the 19th Century', Atglen, 1994, pp.434-5, where another of the same model is illustrated; also see Sotheby's, Paris, 'Regards Sur L'Orient', 19 October 2006, lot 136A. £300-500

47 SIR ALFRED GILBERT, M.V.O, R.A.

The architect and painter, Howard Ince, designed Gilbert’s combined house / studio at 16 Maida Vale, built in 1893. For Ince’s watercolour of the house from the courtyard, see RIBA No. PB289/14(3). ‘Victory’ derives from the figure on the orb in Queen Victoria's hand on Gilbert's monumental Winchester Jubilee Memorial of 1887. Although now best known for 'Eros' (or more correctly Anteros) in Piccadilly Circus, this Victory figure became a sort of emblem for Gilbert. Cast for the artist in a variety of sizes and with varying attributes and bases of a mixture of hardstones and bronze, the figure was often given as a gift by Gilbert to his friends, including John Singer Sargent and Henry Irving; for the latter, see the figure held by the Victoria and Albert Museum, No.1050-1905. £3,000-5,000

The artist John Buckland Wright, principally known for his etchings and engravings, was a friend of Charles Sykes, owning a number of his works. According to Wright's family, these were all given to him directly by Sykes. The sculptor Charles Sykes, best known for his ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ for Rolls Royce (see following lot), also worked as an illustrator, which apparently is how he got to know Wright. £1,000-1,500

Reduccion hecho por CONTRERAS, restaurador de la Alhambra...', 63 x 37.5cm excluding frame 2.5cm wide Rafael Contreras Muñoz (1826-1890), the pre-eminent figure of the 19th century restoration of the Alhambra, was appointed its ‘restaurador adornista’ in 1847. As well as overseeing the works to the palace complex, he ran a workshop with his brother, Francisco Contreras Muñoz, producing models in a variety of media of the decoration found in the Nasrid buildings. These proved highly popular with early visitors, contributing to a spreading fashion for ‘Alhambrism’. In 1868 the travel writer H. Pemberton published the recommendation: ‘Señor Contreras has a studio which was well worth visiting; he has blocks of the Moorish work, exact copies, in miniature, of various parts of the Alhambra Palace, both plain and coloured. They vary in size from eight to twenty inches, and in price from ten to forty dollars. We brought one or two of them to England, thinking they would look well inserted in a wall’ (H. Pemberton, ‘A Winter Tour in Spain’, London, 1868, p.222). A larger gilded version of the same arch is displayed in the British Galleries of the Victoria and Albert Museum (Room 125C, Accession No.REPRO.1890-52). £600-900

His will, signed on 30 December 1707, describes him as ‘of Portugall Street in the Parish of St Clement Danes . . . Goldsmith’ (will proved on 13 June 1710, National Archives, Kew, PROB 11/515). He was buried in the Parish of St. Clement Danes on 12 June 1710: ‘Henry Lyon a Silver smith.’ 'The Daily Courant' (London, Wednesday, 27 September 1710, p.4a) recorded: ‘This present Wednesday being the 27th of September, will be expos’d to Sale the Household-Goods of Mr. Henry Lyon, deceas’d, in Portugalstreet next Door to the Black Lyon near Lincoln’s Inn Back Gate.’ This presumably accounts for the entry in Heal ('London Goldsmiths', London, 1935, p. 198): ‘LYON -, goldsmith; Lincoln’s Inn Fields 1701.’ Perhaps Lyon was a retail goldsmith, selling things made by others, such as William Lukin, whose mark around this time may be found on a number of chocolate and coffee pots. Possibly this pot was ordered directly from the maker by Lyon for a specific customer and never displayed for sale, Lyon striking his mark only and duty never paid by any of the parties. £1,200-1,800

AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEE If the Auctioneers sell an item of Property which is later shown to be a “Counterfeit”, subject to the terms below the Auctioneers will rescind the sale and refund the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to the Auctioneers for that Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price. The Guarantee lasts for one (1) year after the date of the relevant auction, is for the benefit of the Buyer only and is non-transferable. “Counterfeit” means an item of Property that in the Auctioneers reasonable opinion is an imitation created with the intent to deceive over the authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not included in the catalogue description for the Property. Property shall not be considered Counterfeit solely because of any damage and/ or restoration and/or modification work (including, but not limited to, recolouring, tooling or repatinating). Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a Counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical; or likely to have caused damage to or loss in value to the Property (in the Auctioneers reasonable opinion); or (iii) there has been no material loss in value of the Property from its value had it accorded with its catalogue description. To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i) notify the Auctioneers in writing within one (1) month of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and (ii) return the Property to the Auctioneers in the same condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale. The Auctioneers have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. The Auctioneers may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the relevant field and that are acceptable to the Auctioneers. The Auctioneers shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event the Auctioneers decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by the Auctioneers.
