1 AN IMPORTANT LATE 15TH CENTURY ITALIAN CARVED SANDSTONE BUST OF A BEARDED MAN, CIRCLE OF ANGELO DI GIOVANNI DA VERONA (ITALIAN, 1437-1508) the elderly sage with balding head, the back of his head carved with tight curls, his long beard terminating in two distinct sections and carved with scrolling ringlets, his eyes downcast and lips slightly parted, with furrowed brow, wearing a classical toga secured at his right shoulder, the back roughly hewn, 59cm high The distinctive tightly curled beard, expressive facial features and furrowed brow are all characteristics that are also visible in the carved stone figure of Saint Anthony Abbot in the Church of S. Lorenzo, Vicenza attributed to Angelo di Giovanni da Verona. The St Anthony is part of a carved stone relief featuring the Virgin and Child and Saint Sebastian, carved circa 1480. See Franco Barbieri, “Scultori a Vicenza dal XV al XVI Secolo, 1480-1520”, Vicenza, 1984, p.18, pl. VIII, ill. 8. £6,000-£8,000

2 A 15TH CENTURY FRENCH GOTHIC CARVED LIMESTONE FIGURE OF A MAGI KING the kneeling figure holding an orb shaped vessel, his crown at his feet, the bearded figure with furrowed forehead and lips slightly parted, finely carved hair falling in stylised curls, the back of the figure also carved with folds of drapery revealing the sole of his foot, traces of polychrome, 85cm high £8,000-£12,000

3 A MID 14TH CENTURY FRENCH POLYCHROME, GILDED AND CARVED LIMESTONE GROUP OF THE VIRGIN AND CHILD, PROBABLY ILE-DE-FRANCE the standing figure holding the Christ Child in her left hand, on an integral base, carved with a flat back, 66cm high This mid 14th century sculpture is of very similar form to a monumental polychrome limestone Virgin and Child in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Cloisters Collection, no. 37.159).

Her shallow crown which has traces of the original cabochons over tightly curled hair and a veil, her mantel and the arrangement of the folds of drapery, her pointed shoe peeking from beneath her mantle are all comparable to the Metropolitan Museum example. Features such as the extremely finely carved right hand and the geometrically arranged drapery which falls in complex folds over her wrist, her left hand supporting the Christ Child who holds an orb and her serene expression are all typical characteristics of the sculpture produced between 1340 and 1350 in Paris. The Metropolitan Museum example retains much of the original polychrome and gilded decoration, and appears much the same as it would have done during the 14th century.

The present sculpture also retains some original polychome and gilding to the hair and crown and the edges of the drapery which are also gilded in the museum example. ÂŁ7,000-ÂŁ10,000

4 AFTER LUCA DELLA ROBBIA (ITALIAN, 1400-1482): A LARGE MARBLE RELIEF FROM THE CANTORIA ‘SINGING GALLERY’ depicting seven youthful, classically attired choir singers holding hands in a circle and singing, some of the figures carved in the round others in high relief. Raised on a purpose-made black metal stand with four legs which supports the panel, the panel 100cm high x 96cm wide, when on the stand 123cm high The present relief is after the original panel from Della Robbia’s earliest documented work, the Cantoria or singing gallery of Florence cathedral. In 1431 Della Robbia was commissioned to produce ten carved marble panels to fit around the singing gallery or organ loft of Florence cathedral. These were mounted in an architectural setting, with the upper part enclosing four panels and resembling a Roman sarcophagus, with a further panel on each end and four further reliefs in the console below. Originally situated above the door of the North Sacristy, the panels were dismantled in 1688 and are now in the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo of Florence Cathedral.

The Private Collection of a British Sculptor Lots 50, 51 & 52

50 SK A MID 19TH CENTURY FRENCH LIFE-SIZE TERRACOTTA FIGURE OF TOILETTE DE VENUS IN THE MANNER OF ALBERT-ERNEST CARRIER-BELLEUSE (FRENCH, 1824-1887) the nude figure of Venus leaning against a draped, naturalistically modelled tree stump, plaiting her long hair, on an integral oval base, numbered to the reverse ‘3155’, unsigned, 136cm high

51 GIUSEPPE VACCA (ITALIAN, 1803-1871): A LARGE WHITE MARBLE FIGURE OF PSYCHE OF CAPUA OR ‘APHRODITE’, AFTER THE ANTIQUE signed and dated ‘G. Vacca In Napoli 1861’ 95cm high, base 39.5cm wide Provenance: Private collection of a British sculptor. Purchased in 2006 from John Wiseman’s Architectural Antiques, London.

30

This large white marble figure is a copy of an ancient Roman marble, thought to be a copy of a Greek Original produced c.350-330 BC and possibly by Scopas, excavated in the 18th century at the amphitheatre of Capua. The figure is thought to represent Psyche, and it has been suggested that the smooth surface to the side of the figure indicates that it was once joined with another, possibly that of Eros. It may simply have been that when the original was carved, the sculptor used separate pieces of marble which are now lost, and so the present figure is a direct copy of the sculpture recovered in Capua.

Alternatively the figure could possibly have been part of a pediment, which would also explain why it was carved in this manner. £2,000-£3,000

52 AFTER BERTEL THORVALDSEN (DANISH, 1770-1844): A SECOND HALF 19TH CENTURY WHITE MARBLE FIGURE OF GANYMEDE OFFERING THE CUP the youth crouching on his cloak and holding an amphora and a circular cup of nectar, nude except for his Phrygian cap, on an integral rectangular base, together with a later white painted wood rectangular plinth, the plinth 73cm high x 89cm wide x 44.5cm deep the marble 88cm high x 73cm wide (restored) Provenance: The private collection of a British sculptor.

Thorvaldsen is widely considered to be one of the most important and influential sculptors of the early 19th century, comparable only to Antonio Canova in terms of his significant within the Neo-Classical movement, he produced works for the Pope, Napoleon and the royal families of Europe. His sculptures now feature in many of the major museums of art in the world such as the Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg and the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, and of course in the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen.

Thorvaldsen produced five sculptures of Ganymede, who according to myth was the most beautiful of mortals and was carried away by Jupiter’s eagle to be cup bearer to the gods, replacing Hebe who had

accidentally spilled the nectar that made the gods immortal. His first depiction of Ganymede was commissioned in 1805 for Countess Woronoff, a rich Russian heiress and depicted the youth standing, wearing the phrygian cap that he wears in the present piece, and holding out his cup (No. A854 in the Thorvaldsen Museum). In 1816 he produced a variation on this theme, showing Ganymede pouring the nectar (commissioned by the Austrian consul at St. Petersburg, a version is not in the Hermitage). In 1817 Earl Gower commissioned the original version from which the present sculpture is derived, which depicted Ganymede offering a cup of nectar to Jupiter who has taken the form of an eagle (No. A44 Thorvaldsen Museum).

Thorvaldsen’s composition is itself derived from an ancient Roman original, and an engraved antique carnelian gem depicts a very similar composition; Thorvaldsen’s referencing of an ancient work would have appealed to the patron as it demonstrated the artist’s and patron’s knowledge of antiquity and general erudition.

53 SK NAUM ARONSON (RUSSIAN, 1872-1943): A WHITE MARBLE FIGURE OF SALOME, ‘THE DESPAIR OF SALOME’, CIRCA 1924 the nude figure on an integral rusticated base carved with numerous serpents, signed ‘n. aronson’ to the base, 23cm high x 36cm wide x 25.5cm deep Provenance: Private Collection UK, acquired directly from the artist in Paris by Aaron Rapoport, and thence by descent.

Aaron Rapoport was born in Moscow on May 18th 1878. He was the eldest son of the Rapoports: two cousins from a family of wealthy white Russian Jews living in Moscow: Berka Rapoport (born in 1847) and Perle married on April 4th 1874 and had 5 children. Towards the end of the 19th century, they fled Russia and sought refuge in France where they settled. Ary became naturalised French in December 1904. He was a diamond merchant and dealt in natural pearls in the office of “Rapoport Jerwood Perles et pierres fines” in the rue Drouot, in the 9th arrondissement in Paris. He lived in Rue Lauriston in the 16th arrondissement in Paris. They mixed with various artists, especially Russian Jews like themselves and Ary started collecting works by local painters and sculptors as well as English prints and etchings. He was a highly respected figure in the artistic community and respected for his connoisseurship. He died in Paris in December 1963.

Footnote: Naum Aronson was born in 1872 in the village of Kreslavka, Vitebsk (formerly Russia, currently Latvia). He began sculpting at a young age. At sixteen he went to Vilna to study at Ivan Trutneu’s Drawing School for ten months, encountered anti-Semitism and returned to his hometown. In 1891 he moved to Paris, which was attracting East European Jewish artists at the time. For two years he simultaneously attended the free municipal Ecole des Arts Decorative, the class of the sculptor Prof.

H. Lemarie, and the Privet Art School of F. Colarossi.

He was influenced by the work of Michelangelo and Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) and he became acquainted with and deeply inspired by the work of the Impressionists. He lived and worked in Paris for nearly fifty years but due to financial difficulties, he was unable to attend the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He exhibited his work at the Salon du champs de Mars and he became a jury member of the salon. His work was also exhibited at the International Exhibition in 1900. He was awarded a gold medal prize in Liege. In 1937 he was granted France’s highest award. the Legion of Honor, for his work at the ‘Exposition Universelle.’

Aronson reached his maturity in the 1920’s, which is when the present marble dates from, and by this time he had exhibited a large body of works with such titles as Enigme, ‘Les Épaves and Aux Innocents’. They are similarly carved with forms emerging from a marble matrix left rough-hewn. The present work, one of his most emblematic and spiritual, relates to the bronze that was exhibited in 1924. This work may well show the influence of Rodin. He produced a number of versions of Salomé in bronze as well as another carved version in basalt which dated from 1837 and was acquired directly from the artist (see Sotheby’s London: Tuesday, November 25, 2014 [Lot 505] Russian Works of Art, Fabergé and Icons).

He was celebrated for his portrait busts of important leaders and cultural figures, including Beethoven, Wagner, Chopin, Berlioz, Pasteur, Tolstoy, Rasputin and Lenin (exhibited in the Soviet Pavilion in 1937).

Aronson fled to America after the German invasion of France. He arrived in New York in March, 1941, on the S.S. Serpa Pinto, a Portuguese liner used by multiple Jewish organizations to transport refugees from Lisbon to New York. He died in New York in 1943.

54 SK ARISTIDE MAILLOL (FRENCH, 1861-1944): A BRONZE FIGURE OF ‘JEUNE FILLE SE VOILANT LES YEUX’ the nude girl reclining on a tree stump, her right arm covering her face, on a naturalistic integral base, dark brown patination, signed ‘ARISTIDE MAILLOL’ 21.7cm high The authenticity of this work as a lifetime cast has been confirmed by Olivier Lorquin, Musée Maillol, Fondation Dina Vierny, Paris. Oliver Lorquin states that this bronze was cast by Vollard, and these casts were not numbered (unlike many later limited editions).

Provenance: Purchased by Eric Hyde Villiers DSO, (1881-1964) in Paris after the First World War, thence by descent to his son James Michael Hyde Villiers (1933-1998) and to his wife Lucy Villiers. The Villiers family are one of England’s most eminent aristocratic families with historic links to royalty dating back to the 17th century with George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (1592–1628) who was a favourite of King James I. Perhaps most famous of the Villiers family was Barbara Villiers, Duchess of Cleveland (1640–1709) who was mistress of King Charles II and had five children by him. Eric Hyde Villiers, who first acquired this bronze in the early 20th century whilst living in Paris and a director of Martell cognac; was the son of Sir Francis Hyde Villiers, and the grandson of George Villiers, 4th Earl of Clarendon. Upon his death in 1964 the bronze passed to his son James Michael Hyde Villiers, who was a well known actor who had studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and whose film roles included The Damned (1961), Eve (1962), King and Country (1964) and Roman Polanski’s Repulsion (1965). His aristocratic ancestry was often reflected in the types of roles he played, such as King Charles II in the BBC series The First Churchills (1969), the Earl of Warwick in Saint Joan (1974), and Lord Thurlow in The Madness of George III. Upon his death in 1998 his wife Lucy Villiers inherited the bronze. This figure was conceived in 1900; and another example was recently sold at Christie’s, Paris 23 March 2018, lot 244, 72,500 euros.

The sculptor is known to have lived in Richmond before his death in 1904. Lawson trained at the Royal Scottish Academy and set up his first studio at 36 St George’s Place, Glasgow in 1860. In 1866 he moved to London after a period in Rome, but maintained his links with Scottish artists and patrons. His most famous work is his memorial to Robert Burns in Ayr, inaugerated in 1892 and hailed at the time as ‘the finest statue of Burns from any studio’.

The statue was to crown a large square fountain in a courtyard at Fontainebleau.

For this colossus Cellini said that he produced a model about 60 centimetres high, which held a broken lance, raised aloft in its right hand and the left hand was placed on the hilt of a scimitar fashioned in a most beautiful shape; it was posed on its left foot, and the right rested on the crest of a helmet as richly decorated as it is possible to imagine. The present, smaller, statuette (known in various casts with minor variations), of which Hildburgh, owned an example (now in the V&A, A.4-1944), differs from the big Mars most obviously in the position of the helmet, here firmly on the head and there under the right foot.

Another statuette exists [in two or three casts only, e.g. one in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York] that is in this important respect identical with the image described by Cellini. Nevertheless, there does seem to be a vague connection and it is usually assumed that the statuettes reflect a wax model left behind in Cellini’s studio when he fled from France, perhaps for the Mars in the series of life-size silver statues bearing candlesticks in a raised hand that he produced for the Gallery of Francois I inside the chateau of Fontainebleau, whose actual appearance is unknown (see C. Avery, ‘Cellini’s silver statues of the gods for Fontainebleau’, in Studies in the Decorative Arts, The Bard Graduate Centre for Studies in the Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture, New York, XIV, no. 1, Fall-Winter 2006-2007), pp. 2-18 (esp. pp. 11-13).

Another example in the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum Braunschweig, Germany, is catalogued by U. Berger & V. Krahn (Bronzen der Reniassance and des Barock: Katalog der Sammlung, Braunschweig, 1994, pp 304-5, no 245) as: ‘after a French model from the last third of the 16th century, the cast seemingly Flemish, first half of the 17th century’. A further example of this model was sold at Chiswick Auctions on 24 May 2017, lot 38. £3,000-£5,000

170 A FINE AND LARGE THIRD QUARTER 19TH CENTURY FRENCH NEO-GREC GILT BRONZE AND CLOISONNE ENAMEL DECORATED ONYX JARDINIERE BY FERDINAND BARBEDIENNE (FRENCH, 1810-1892) PROBABLY DESIGNED BY LOUIS-CONSTANT SEVIN AND EDOUARD LIEVRE of shaped oval form, the body with a band of enamel decoration of C scrolls, foliage and flowers, raised on four scrolling feet cast with female masks below shell crests, with entwined handles, one handle signed ‘F. BARBEDIENNE’, 57cm wide x 22cm high The attribution to the designer Edouard Lievre is based on the similarity of the jardiniere to one that featured a monogram of interlaced Ds to the centre of each side of the vessel, a monogram used by Lievre for his important patron Edouard Detaille. (See Steinitz, Edouard Lièvre exhibition Catalogue, Paris, 2014, pp. 184-191). Interestingly, another Barbedienne jardiniere of near identical form that sold at auction featured the date 26th July 1864 in Roman numerals and ‘JUILLET’ to the central panel of the jardiniere in the same place that the other was monogrammed with D’s. (This example was sold August 27th 2016, GWS auctions, California, US, $15,000), and so we know that the model was designed before 1864. The model for this jardiniere is usually attributed to the important designer Louis-Constant Sevin, who worked with Ferdinand Barbedienne for over thirty years from 1855 to 1888 and much of Barbedienne’s success was arguably due to the high quality, inventive models developed by Seven during this time. They exhibited together at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1867 and 1878. We know from the other jardiniere mentioned above that this design was already in use by 1864 and so it may well have been exhibited at the Exposition Universelle of 1867. £10,000-£15,000

178 A RARE 19TH CENTURY FRENCH GILT BRONZE AND GLASS MYSTERY CLOCK WITH RECTANGULAR DIAL BY JEAN EUGENE ROBERT HOUDIN the 6 inch rectangular bevelled glass dial signed ROBERT-HOUDIN PARIS, with gilt Roman numerals and Arabic five minute markers, within a moulded frame surmounted by a cartouche cresting and raised on a pair of acanthus wrapped, swan neck supports, over a red velvet covered plinth, the shaped plinth base with mask and foliage mount, the single train timepiece movement with vertically mounted lever platform escapement, signed ‘HOUDIN’ ‘22761’, 37cm high The clock is in working order but not fully tested or guaranteed.

Jean Eugene Robert was born in Blois, near Paris, which had been a centre for clock and watchmaking for centuries; his father was a watchmaker and so naturally he began his career also in this trade.

In 1830 he married Eglantine Houdin, the daughter of Jacques Houdin, a prestigious horologist who had studied under arguably the greatest watchmaker of all time, the great Breguet. Jacques Houdin had a shop in Paris which specialised in precision instruments, and the young Jean Eugene Robert was so impressed by his father-inlaw’s work that after the marriage he took his name and became Robert Houdin. In 1831 Robert Houdin began to develop the first mystery clocks.

84

Between 1831 and 1844 he produced five distinct types all functioning in slightly different ways and for different effect. When one of these mystery clocks was exhibited in London in 1838, it is said spectators were amazed and could not work out how the hand moved, many speculating that the clock was driven with magnetism. In 1839 Robert Houdin exhibited some of his mystery clocks at the Exhibition of French Industry, and won a bronze medal. His clocks, automatons and other inventions became world famous, and he is now widely considered to be not only the inventor of the first mystery clocks but also perhaps more importantly, the father of modern magic and conjuring.

It has been said that every magician of the 20th century is haunted by Robert Houdin, his techniques and showmanship casting a shadow over all future conjurers. In fact, the famous Harry Houdini was so in awe of Houdin that he changed his name from Ehrich Weiss to Harry Houdini in homage to the great master, for he erroneously believed that adding an ‘I’ to the end of a name meant ‘like’ in French.

Clocks devoted to science, astronomy, mathematics and study were popular during this time and some of the great master clockmakers and bronziers of the day such as Jean-André Reiche (1752-1817) and Claude Galle (1759-1815) produced clocks of similar theme and design to the present example, often including scientific instruments and tools such as telescopes. £1,000-£1,500

Dr Fischer’s Collection of Table Clocks (Lots 192-241)

192

Born in Austria in the grand Renaissance castle of Schwarzenau in the early fifties, Dr. Georg Fischer’s great passion for life, and his curiosity about the natural world led him to become an engineer, focusing on the drilling and exploration of oil, gas and diamonds. His great determination and inventiveness led to Dr. Fischer travelling the globe in search of sites and findings: from the exploration of the North Pole on board a Russian ice-breaker to his exploratory work in the inhospitable South Pole. Throughout the years and also thanks to the support and help of his wife Nina, he managed to build an exceptional and unexpected art collection. His diverse collection is a reflection of the exceptional personality of this art lover and the richness of his global experience. The collection ranges from an impressive Art Déco collection, through to ancient books, paintings, jewellery, tribal and Asian art coming to an incredible collection of watches and clocks, showing his particular affection for mechanism and accuracy.

We are glad to present here a selection of his miniature table clocks, which have all been treasured and well looked after over the years and are nearly all in good working condition.
