4 4 AN ITALIAN RENAISSANCE TERRACOTTA RELIQUARY BUST, PROBABLY 16TH CENTURY the young female saint or Virgin Mary with centrally parted hair flowing down her shoulders, wearing a gown with circular aperture to reveal the relic, now filled, the interior with an old red wax seal, the exterior later painted, 37cm high

5

The form of the present bust, modelled in the full round and cut at the shoulders was developed in the 15th century but probably derived from an ancient prototype. As well as religious and reliquary busts, portrait busts of particular patrons were produced for specific commissions, for example see the late 15th century terracotta portrait bust in the Metropolitan Museum, New York which depicts a young man, probably a member of the Medici family.

Museum No. 41.100.239, which is of similar form to the present bust.

Reliquary busts were also produced in carved wood such as oak and polychrome and gilt decorated, for example the reliquary bust of Saint Balbina, also in the Metropolitan Museum, which was produced in the South Netherlands ca. 1520-30. Museum No. 67.155.23 £5,000-£8,000 5 A LATE 15TH / EARLY 16TH CENTURY LOWER RHINE OR NETHERLANDISH POLYCHROME DECORATED LIMESTONE BUST OF THE VIRGIN the carved stone bust with original painted decoration (refreshed in some places), wearing a blue veil and red mantel, her eyes downcast and looking to sinister, later mounted on an ebonised plinth, 27cm high x 26cm wide The exaggerated facial features of the Madonna are reminiscent of the polychrome oak sculptures produced in the Lower Rhine in the early 16th century, with wide set, heavily lidded eyes. £4,000-£6,000 5A A LARGE 18TH CENTURY FLEMISH TERRACOTTA RELIEF OF THE VIRGIN DATED 1760 of oval form, depicted in profile wearing a veil, hand modelled and dated in the terracotta at the back ‘1760’ 55cm high x 40cm wide £3,000-£5,000

11 A LATE 16TH / EARLY 17TH CENTURY ITALIAN GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF DIANA THE HUNTRESS WITH A HOUND the standing nude with crescent moon diadem her seated hound at the ground beside her, with an integral shaped base, later applied on an ebonised, stepped plinth, the bronze 14cm high, 24cm high overall Provenance: Inherited by the present owner from a relative in Vienna. Please see the old photograph of the bronze in situ in a panelled room at the family property.

Other examples of this small statuette have appeared at auction in recent years, but the model has not been attributed to a specific sculptor. The Mannerist proportions and spirally turned, contra-posto pose of the figure are features reminiscent of the work of the great Italian Mannerist sculptors Girolamo Campagna (1549-1625) and Tiziano Aspetti (1559-1606) both working in Venice in the late 16th century and early 17th century.

Auction Comparables: See Christie’s, lot 221, 2 October 2013, catalogued as early 17th century and of similar size to the present bronze and lot 442, 7 July 2005 catalogued as late 16th / early 17th century, both in gilt bronze. £600-£800

12 12 WORKSHOP OF BARTHELEMY PRIEUR (FRENCH, 1540-1611): A RARE BRONZE FIGURE OF A WOMAN CUTTING HER NAILS, EARLY 17TH CENTURY the nude seated on a draped stool and cutting the nails on her right foot, seemingly a solid cast, unfinished, 9.2cm high This intimate and touching bronze appears to be unfinished and is perhaps a working model. A finished cast of this statuette is now in the National Gallery of Art, Washington (Samuel H. Kress Collection, 1957.14.24). The finished cast is a hollow cast, produced using the in-direct lost wax method, but with solid head, arms and lower legs which were probably formed free hand and joined to the rest of the figure. The three feet of the stool visible in our bronze have been removed from the finished cast, and without these feet the present bronze is the same size as the finished example. There is the remains of a sprue hole visible at her right hip and other small lumps of bronze such as at the end of the right foot which would have been removed and finished in the final cast. The bronze has been patinated and there are traces of black lacquer remaining over a mid brown patination which is consistent with Prieur’s bronzes. Prieur and his workshop were known to have produced solid cast bronzes, for example that ‘Man Carrying a Child’ (The Blind Orion Guided by Cadalion) in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (Inv. No. 24.212.12).

Provenance: Private UK Collection. £800-£1,200 13 ATTRIBUTED TO THE WORKSHOP OF NICOLO ROCCATAGLIATA (ITALIAN, 1575-1625): AN EARLY 17TH CENTURY BRONZE FIGURE OF A PUTTO the winged putto standing a contra posto, holding a cross and raised on a small square base, with remains of gilding, raised on an alabaster rectangular plinth inscribed ‘IHS’, the bronze 15.5cm high, overall 17cm high Provenance: A private UK Collection.

This small bronze of a putto can be attributed to the workshop of Roccatagliata based on its similarity to another gilt bronze putto now in the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. Although our putto has lost part of his wings, they are delineated in the same way as the museum bronze, the sash and knotted drapery have been treated in the same manner and the pose, proportions and the long curly hair are all comparable. Roccatagliata is well known for his production of bronze putti in various poses and activities, from carrying dogs to playing musical instruments. £300-£500

20 WORKSHOPS OF GIANLORENZO BERNINI (ITALIAN, 1598-1680): AN IMPORTANT THIRD QUARTER 17TH CENTURY ROMAN GILT BRONZE FIGURE OF CRISTO MORTO the Corpus Christi wearing a flowing perizonium, his eyes closed and head down-tured, later mounted on a perspex stand, 43.5cm / 17 ¼ inches high Provenance: European private collector, London; By whom gifted to the present private collection, England Related Literature: Roberto Battaglia, Crocifissi del Bernini in S. Pietro in Vaticano, Rome, 1942; Rudolph Wittkower, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, The Sculptor of the Baroque (London: Phaidon, 1966), pp. 229- 30, fig. 79 WITH THANKS TO DR CHARLES AVERY FOR HIS ASSISTANCE WITH CATALOGUING THIS LOT. This fine gilt bronze figure of the dead Christ crucified on the cross (Cristo morto) is related to two crucifixes of the dead and living Christ, which in 1657 Pope Alexander VII Chigi (1655-67) commissioned Bernini to produce in order to decorate the side aisle altars of St Peter’s. Twenty-three of these crucifixes are still in situ at St Peter’s today on their original crosses, eighteen of the living version (Cristo vivo) and five of the dead Christ. Although the original model for the Cristo morto (presumably a drawing or terracotta figure) was made by Bernini, documents published by Roberto Battaglia in 1942 (op. cit.) reveal that the wax models for the crucifixes were made in 1658 by his studio assistant, the sculptor Ercole Ferrata (1610-86), and then, under Bernini’s supervision, 10

cast in bronze twenty-five times by the specialist founder Paolo Curieri, after which each figure was individually chased and finished by Bortolomeo Cennini.

At the end of 1660 the casts for St Peter’s were finished; the moulds for both types of crucifix, however, are listed in the inventory of Ferrata’s studio after his death (see Wittkower, p. 229), so it is possible that some casts were produced after 1660, for other patrons.The present bronze is clearly based on the same model as the Cristo Morto crucifixes in St Peter’s, exhibiting the same downturned emaciated head, with sharp brows and a long chin ending in a pointed beard, long arms extending above the head, thin torso with a gushing, bleeding wound on the right side of His chest, and wearing a windswept loincloth (perizonium) swirling in a downward direction to His left. Like the present bronze, all of the crucifixes in St Peter’s, as well as several other casts based on the same model, measure approximately 43.5 centimetres. The casting and finishing, however, differ from piece to piece, which lends each figure its individual character. According to Wittkower, (op. cit., p. 229) Bernini often eschewed pronounced anatomical details in favour of the ‘tense energy’ and ‘vitality’ which can be seen in an earlier model he made of the Cristo morto, the large crucifix for King Philip IV of Spain (c.1654: Escorial, Sacristy of the Colegio, fig. 3). Indeed, other contemporary bronze figures made in Bernini’s Roman workshops, such as the Countess Matilda of Tuscany (c.1634: Melbourne, National Gallery of Victoria) and the Risen Christ (c.1673-74: Walters Art Museum, Baltimore,), also exhibit a lack of concern for minute anatomical detailing, for Bernini was a sculptor by training and not a small bronze specialist or goldsmith. This, together with the fine gilding and appropriate age-related wear, lead to the conclusion that the present figure is likely to be a contemporary cast based closely on Bernini’s original design, made in his bronze workshops in Rome in the third-quarter of the seventeenth century. £8,000-£12,000

21 A PAIR OF SECOND HALF 17TH CENTURY ITALIAN (ROME) GILT BRONZE WINGED CHERUBS IN FLIGHT each wearing a sash securing flowing drapery, their wings separately cast and each secured with a single screw, their backs hollow, raised on later white veined, black marble, stepped square plinths, the putti 24cm high, 43.5cm high overall (2) WITH THANKS TO DR CHARLES AVERY FOR ASSISTANCE WITH CATALOGUING THIS LOT. Provenance: Property of a private collector, England Related Literature: Alessandro Angelini, Gian Lorenzo Bernini e I Chigi tra Roma e Siena (Cinisello Balsamo, Milan 1998), p. 146, figs. 144-45; Boudon–Machuel, François du Quesnoy, 1597-1643, Paris 2005, pp. 141-46, figs 142-44 ; pp. 247-49, pls. Fig. 140; Oreste Ferrari and Serenita Papaldo, Le sculture del Seicento a Roma (Rome, 1999), p. 320; Jennifer Montagu, Gold, Silver and Bronze: Metal Sculpture of the Roman Baroque, (New Haven & London, 1996), pp. 12-13, fig. 18; Rudolph Wittkower, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, The Sculptor of the Baroque (London, 1966), pls. 44-45 Notes: Flying cherubim became one of the favourite motifs of the Baroque in Rome, often inspired by the need to lighten the sombre mood of images of cruel martyrdoms that were so emphasised in the imagery of the CounterReformation. Originated there by Algardi, Bernini and Duquesnoy, they rapidly became standard features in the repertory promulgated by their followers of the second generation. For instance, in the Algardian interior decoration of the church of Sant’Agnese in Agone that dominates Piazza Navona, Ercole Ferrata master-minded from 1658 eight enormous marble reliefs with ‘angioletti’ set around the entrance of the church bearing the symbols of the martyrdom of the name-saint. During the 1660s he and others modelled the angels in four semi-domes hovering above the huge marble side-altars of Saints Alessio, Emeranzia and Eustace, while Antonio Raggi did the one dedicated to St Cecilia. Furthermore, when it came to the High altar itself, an enormous marble relief of The Holy Family on the return from Egypt, a multitude of cherubim in

mid-air pluck dates to feed them from a palm-tree (1673-76) Meanwhile Bernini, an addict of putti and cherubim, aided by his followers and a host of silversmiths working to his designs, was producing just as many little angels in metalwork for the successive popes, Urban VIII (Barberini) and Alexander VII (Chigi). Wonderfully plump and alive are the marble babies held as attributes in the arms of successive statues of Charity on the tombs of these popes in St Peter’s. Putti abound amidst the trails of foliage round the ‘barley-sugar’ columns of Bernini’s Baldacchino (1) in St. Peter’s of 1624-30, some more or less flying, as in the present instance. Then in 1657, Bernini designed a hanging lamp (2) with three flying putti holding up a crown bearing the 8-pointed stars of the Chigi, for their family chapel in Santa Maria del Popolo: this was cast in bronze and gilded by Peter Verpoorten (1656-7, 3). These dangling putti were much replicated, and from this view the respective poses are not unlike those of the present pair of putti.François Duquesnoy, the Flemish immigrant among the triumvirate of founders of Baroque sculpture, secured himself the epithet of ‘the master of the putti’, which indicates how highly his babies - with their charming expressions, uncannily soft-looking infant skin and wispy hair - were regarded. Characteristic are a pair sadly and respectfully raising a curtain over the epitaph of Ferdinand van den Eynde, in Santa Maria dell’Anima. He could work the same magic in three dimensions in bronze, as in a flying Cupid meant to be accompanying a Mercury (Copenhagen).From a volume of drawings belonging to the Barberini, Jennifer Montagu illustrates a silver mirror-frame made by Michele Strinati in 1660, in which the two angels (or cupids) at either side are composed in twisted positions looking away from the frame and each other, just like those of the present pair, writing: ‘Almost certainly this exceptionally large mirror in its luxurious frame with its frolicking putti was a wedding-present for Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna’s wedding to one of the most intriguing women of the Roman Seicento [Maria Mancini, in 1661]’.

This fine clock produced by the prestigious bronze manufacturer Deniere, probably in the 1830’s. The firm was established

by Francois Matelin and Jean-François Dénière in Paris in 1803, and records show that it was based at 58 rue de Turenne in 1813 and at 9 rue d’Orléans au Marais by 1820. During this period the firm flourished, employing over two hundred workers, and supplied clocks and candelabra for the French palaces, most notably Versailles and the Grand Trianon. In 1822, Deniere received the title of Provider of the King, Queen, Princes and Princesses and the Conservation of the Crown Furnishings, and also counted among his privileged clients the Duchesse de Berry and the King of Spain. In 1844 Deniere’s son Guillaume went into partnership with him and in the following years they exhibited at numerous exhibitions including the Great Exhibitions of 1851 and 1862 in London. At the time they were favourably compared to the great ormolu master Thomire.

Pons was also a highly regarded horologist, they used the 1827 Paris Medaille d’Or stamp which can be found on the present movement between 1827 and 1834, in 1834 they won the gold medal again.

The inscription on the dial ‘Hotel de Choiseul’ refers to the Parisian mansion of that name. Originally known as the Hotel de Crozat, it came into the possession of the Duke of Choiseul through his marriage to Louise-Honorine Crozat in 1750. He soon turned it into one of the most lavishly decorated and famous buildings in Paris, housing an important and large art collection. in 1780 the Duke was forced to divide and sell the mansion due to financial difficulties, and so the inscription on the dial presumably dates to before 1780. £2,000-£3,000 132 A FINE PAIR OF MATCHED FRENCH TRANSITIONAL STYLE KINGWOOD, ROSEWOOD, PARQUETRY AND ORMOLU MOUNTED CABINETS, ONE LATE 18TH CENTURY, ONE LATE 19TH CENTURY of identical form, the late 19th century example presumably made to match the earlier cabinet / bookcase, each of rectangular form with canted front angles over a frieze drawer with parquetry inlay, over a pair of glazed cupboard doors enclosing shelves, with gilt bronze mounts cast as shells, fruiting garlands and acanthus leaves, 94cm wide x 39cm deep x 96cm high £4,000-£6,000

164 163 A VERY RARE MID 18TH CENTURY PARQUETRY INLAID OAK GRAND SONNERIE LONGCASE CLOCK BY JOHN SEDDON OF FRODSHAM, CIRCA 1740 the break-arch oak case with ogee and cavetto mouldings over a curved frieze fret and with fluted hood columns and windows to the sides of the hood, over the trunk door of bridge-top design inlaid with a parquetry star, replicated in the trunk’s base panel, the 12 inch brass break-arch dial with subsidiary seconds dial and a decorated scroll-engraved and pierced panel around the calendar aperture also signed “Seddon”, the dial centre and the centre of the lunar indicating ring in the arch both decorated with black velvet, the chapter ring with Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic for the minutes in a “Dutch” arcaded band, with pierced, blued steel hands, the pierced spandrels set between a herringbone [wheatear] engraved border which continues into the arch, the arch with a penny-moon aperture whose ring is calibrated for the moon’s age and fitted with a brass indicating hand, the substantial five-pillar movement with three trains and bell strike movement, the going train regulated by seconds pendulum and the quarter train sounding on a nest of six bells with six hammers before unlocking the hour strike on its own bell, each quarter hour, 220cm high There are church records for the Seddon family in Frodsham Cheshire, starting in 1676. John and Daniel Seddon both made good and complex clocks there throughout the early 18th century.

A two-train longcase similarly signed “Seddon” and with very similar inlaid case was sold at auction in Berkshire in 2011 for £13000 hammer. That clock possessed a globe moon in the arch. This lot is considerably rarer in having the three-train grande sonnerie movement; only a handful of longcase clocks are known to have this complication, together with the moonphase this clock is a very rare and fine example of a complicated longcase clock. That both Seddon clocks feature very similar cases is surely a good indication that the dial, movement and case are all original to each other. £6,000-£8,000
