The Ecole de Paris Paris had long been a mecca for artists, thanks historically to the unrivalled reputation of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the unparalleled importance of the annual Salon as an exhibiting platform and the patronage of the French State. But with the advent of Modernism, long held classical canons were eclipsed by the energy of the merging avant-garde. To cater for the proliferation of styles alternative exhibiting bodies proliferated, such as the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d’automne; commercial galleries and dealers flourished, and the city saw an influx of artists from around the world as never before. By the mid-1920s Paris was home to an estimated 70,000 painters and sculptors, congregated mainly in the districts of Montmartre and Montparnasse.

Many of the artists were émigrés, who came to be known collectively as the École de Paris, a term coined in 1925 by the art critic André Warnod, who used it specifically to reference the non-French avant-garde artists working in the French capital. Ecole de Paris artists were not characterised by a defining style, but worked closely alongside one another, exchanging creative ideas and employing a diverse range of techniques and styles.

In 1909 a sub-group of the Ecole de Paris was formed by Modigliani, Maurice Utrillo, Chaïm Soutine and Jules Pascin (known as the ‘Prince of Montparnasse’). They were disparagingly called les maudits (the cursed ones), bonded by their shared poverty which they reflected in the subject-matter and style of their often anguished and tormented subject matter.

The strong Jewish element of Ecole de Paris artists gathered pace with the arrival in Paris of Marc Chagall in 1910.

Chagall settled in La Ruche, a complex of studios in Montparnasse. Together with fellow Russian Soutine, Chagall worked alongside other Jews including Michel Kikoine, Ossip Zadkine and Mané-Katz.

By the time the Second World War broke however, and with nationalism on the rise, artists associated with the Ecole de Paris were increasingly viewed as a threat to French tradition, especially by anti-semitic critics. By 1940 such artists were barred from exhibiting in France, many were forced to return to their homeland or leave for America, and by the 1950 Paris’s thriving art scene had largely been eclipsed by Abstract Expressionism and the New York School.

Seven Works from the Estate of Louis Christian Hess Louis Christian Hess (1895-1944) was strongly influenced

by German Expressionism and the Neue Sachlichkeit. He became friends with Max Beckmann and Karl Hofer and was a leading voice in the Juryfreie in Munich. Very few of his works have ever appeared on the market, and this marks the first time a group has been offered at auction.

Hess was born in Bolzano in the South Tyrol, his father was an office clerk; his mother from the Austrian bourgeoisie.

In 1906 the family moved to Innsbruck where Hess studied at the Staatsgewerbeschule (State Institute of Art), and in 1915 he had his first exhibition of drawings and prints at the Thurn und Taxishof Galerie.

His formative years, however, were overshadowed by a succession of family bereavements and the horrors of the First World War. Between the ages of 10 and 22, he lost his father and two of his three sisters to tuberculosis, and learnt of the death of his mother whilst on the German front line, where he fought in the battles of Verdun, the Somme and Aisne. By the end of the War he had one remaining sibling, his sister Emma, to whom he remained close. But his war time experiences combined with unfolding family tragedies scarred him psychologically, and left him with a nervous disposition for the rest of his life.

In 1919, during the early years of the Weimar Republic, Hess began studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich under Carl Johann Becker-Gundahl. Although the Academy was conservative in outlook, it was there that Hess developed his natural skill as a colourist. In 1920 he exhibited in the Ausstellung Junger Münchner – Graphische Kunstwerkastätten, where his work was singled out by the critic George Jacob Wolf for having ‘an uncommonly developed sense of colour’.

Munich in the 1920s was home to the artists most closely associated with Neue Sachlichkeit (The New Objectivity) –

Portrait of the artist Louis Christian Hess

amongst them Otto Dix, George Scholz, Christian Schad and Max Beckmann. Although Hess was not formally associated with the movement, he became friends with Beckmann in the late 1920s, and the influence of the style can clearly be seen in his work.

In 1925 Hess travelled to Sicily to visit his sister Emma in Messina. He wrote to his friends in Germany that he had found paradise, and so inspired, in 1926 he produced a series of 60 vibrant Sicilian etchings, and returned repeatedly to the island thereafter.

Proper ty from the estate of Louis Christian Hess

Hess joined the progressive Juryfreie in Munich in 1929, becoming one of the group’s leaders. The Juryfreie (Jury-free) was self-adjudicating and open to artists from all traditions.

During the 1920s and early 1930s it was the most liberal exhibiting body in Munich; some members included Wassily Kandinsky and Oskar Schlemmer. In July the same year Art critic Wilhelm Hausenstein wrote in Aus meinem Künstnotizbuch that the ‘Juryfreie reveals itself as a prominent artistic group... I notice Christian Hess, Josef Scharl, Fritz Burkhardt, Grassmann, Panizza and sculptors such as Spengler and Zeh’.

But Hess’s years with Cecilia were short lived; in 1936 she left him to travel to Switzerland. The rupture caused the artist extreme mental instability and pushed him to attempted suicide. He lived for a further two years in Sicily before returning to Munich in 1938, leaving many of his paintings behind him in the care of his sister. Forced to conscript in 1940, due to his fragile health Hess was assigned work at the post office, but in December of 1940 he fell seriously ill and was discharged. He returned to Austria and in 1944 died in hospital at the age of 48 after an air raid over Innsbruck.

During the Second World War Messina suffered extensive bombing due to its strategic position. To protect the paintings her brother left behind, Emma rolled and wrapped them, shielding them in air-raid shelters. After Hess’s death Emma oversaw his estate and the survival of a significant numbers of his work. The seven lots in this sale are from the group that Hess delivered to his sister when he revisited Messina in 1936.

With wider recognition for his work Hess also exhibited with the Secessionists at the Glaspalast in the early 1930s.

But disaster and disruption followed. Tragically several of his works were destroyed in a catastrophic fire at the Glaspalast in June 1931. Devastated, Hess wrote on a postcard to his sister Emma illustrating the ruins of the Glaspalast fire: ‘here lie my works: all burnt’. The same year too, following public demonstrations by the Juryfreie, Hess and others were banned from the group by the far-right paramilitary wing the SA, and in 1934, with Hitler’s rise to power, the Juryfreie was disbanded as they were viewed as ‘culturally bolshevic’.

Following the financial crash of 1929, the on-set of the Depression and widespread unemployment, Hess wrote to Emma in 1932: ‘Financially, circumstances have never been so catastrophic. Wherever you are and whoever you speak to, everyone grumbles…and politics are the main theme.’

The following year, with mounting political instability, and with his art viewed as degenerate by the authorities, Hess fled Germany to join his sister in Sicily with his wife, the actress Cecilia Faesy.

Proper ty from the estate of Louis Christian Hess

321 LOUIS CHRISTIAN HESS (AUSTRIAN 1895-1944)

Frauenkirche

linocut 16 x 14.6 cm (6 3/4 x 5 3/4 in)

£200 - 300 Executed in Munich in 1919 during the early years of the Weimar Republic when Hess was studying at the Academy of Fine Arts. The work reflects Hess’s clear interest in the woodcuts of the German Expressionists, in particular those of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, who worked

almost exclusively in this medium after the First World War. It shares particularly striking similarities with Schmidt-Rottluff ’s woodcut Stadtbild aus Soest of 1923, in the collection of The Cleveland Museum of Art. In both the church spires extend to the sky, whilst the jagged angles and patterns of light express a vivid energy.

322 LOUIS CHRISTIAN HESS (AUSTRIAN 1895-1944)

Friend I oil on canvas 94 x 55.3 cm (37 x 21 3/4 in) EXHIBITED: Palermo, Palazzo del Turismo; Rome, Deutsche Bibliothek; Padova, Associazione Italo-Tedesca; Genova, Biblioteca Germanica, Galleria Carmagnola; Trieste, Instituto Germanico di Cultura; Bolzano, Goethe Gallery; Milan, Galleria Pietra; Florence, Palazzo Vecchio; Turin, Teatro Gobetti; Innsbruck, Tiroler Landesmuseum; Passau, Goethe Institut; and Munich, Kunstverein, Christian Hess,

Painted in Munich in 1930, the present work depicts the right hand figure in the central panel of Hess’s much acclaimed large scale tryptich Am Wasser painted the same year (fig. 1). First shown at the Glaspalast in 1931, the central panel of Am Wasser was illustrated in Jugend the same year (fig. 2). Much to Hess’s immense distress, however, Am Wasser together with a significant portion of his other work was destroyed in a catastrophic fire at the Glaspalast two years later.

Another artist and friend who influenced Hess was the German Expressionist Karl Hofer. In the present work Hess explores Hofer’s interest in non-representational colours to provoke emotional responses, notably in the sitter’s vibrant yellow gilet contrasting with the black background. Karl Hofer was also a skilled master of form and Hess has demonstrated this in his adept rendering of the shadowed folds of the sitter’s clothing.

Friend I echoes many tendencies found in Beckmann’s works: the plasticity of the figure, the powerful use of light and dark, the black outlines that brilliantly carve out the form of the sitter and the use of the deliberately vibrant rich, almost garish yellow. There are also similarities with Christian Schad’s cool dispassionate Neue Sachlichkeit style: the figure glances away from the viewer, preoccupied in her thoughts, creating a haunting sense of mystery within the painting.

Emma. There he experienced an artistic epiphany, revelling in the possibilities of colour and light that the sun-drenched Mediterranean island offered. Hess returned to Sicily frequently thereafter. In 1927 he executed a series of bold colourful Sicily-inspired works for exhibition in Germany, and in 1933 he moved there with his wife, the actress Cecilia Faesy, a move that was sadly shortlived: Faesy left him to live in Switzerland three years later.

Painted in Munich in 1924, this is one of a small number of self-portraits Hess completed between 1920 and 1937. Although not formally associated with Neue Sachlichkeit, the present work shares similarities with Christian Schad’s objective Neue Sachlichkeit style of the mid-1920s.

Like Schad’s portraits, Hess paints himself with a stark realism, looking out at the viewer with a quizzical eye.

Painted in 1925 in Messina. Although Hess had yet to meet Max Beckmann, he would have been exposed to his work whilst living in Munich in the early 1920s. In Resting woman the influence of Beckmann can be seen in the outlined sharp black brushstrokes and his use of the vibrant yellow, features that would come to characterise Hess’s most accomplished pictures of the 1930s. With the sitter’s arms crossed, her form defining the edges of the picture plane, her protective pose and tense expression possibly express the artist’s own nervous disposition following his experiences on the German front line in the War and the traumatic loss of his parents and two of his sisters.

Marie-Louise von Motesiczky The nine oil paintings by Viennese emigré artist Marie-Louise von Motesiczky (1906-1996) offered in this sale, follow the sale of eight works on 4th December 2020. Once again the lots span four decades - from the 1940s to the mid-1980s.

Marie-Louise von Motesiczky enjoyed a privileged childhood, living with her parents and brother on Brahmsplatz in central Vienna. Her mother Henriette was scion of an illustrious Viennese Jewish banking dynasty. Her maternal grandfather, Leopold von Lieben, was President of the Stock Exchange; her grandmother, Anna, one of Freud’s early patients. She counted the Todescos, and Ephrussis among her family circle, and she, her mother and her brother Karl spent their summers at Villa Todesco in Hinterbrühl, south west of the capital.

But over time family tragedy, financial difficulties and the rise of Nazi Germany took their toll. Marie-Louise’s father had died in a hunting accident many years before and her mother’s considerable inheritance gradually diminished through high taxation, poor investments, and the financial crash of 1929. Then, with the rise of the Third Reich and the Anschluss, when Austria was annexed by Germany, she and her mother fled Vienna for the Netherlands before emigrating to England in 1939. Further distress followed when her brother Karl, who had remained in Austria, was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, dying of typhus there on 25 June 1943.

The most formative influence on Marie-Louise’s artistic development before the War was the German painter Max Beckmann. She had first been introduced to Beckmann in 1920, and kept in regular and close contact with him thereafter. As she recalled: ‘A winged creature from Mars could not have made a greater impact on me’. Later, on her arrival in Britain in early 1939, Marie-Louise was reacquainted with Oskar Kokoschka, a family friend now similarly exiled. In London Kokoschka ensured her inclusion in a series of group exhibitions, and assisted her in the staging of a one-person show at the Czechoslovak Institute in the autumn of 1944. Further group shows followed, and in 1960 she had a second solo exhibition at

In 1985, a full twenty-five years after her work had been shown at the Beaux Arts Gallery, she was the subject of another one-person exhibition in London, at the Goethe-Institut which was widely acclaimed in the press. In 1994 a major retrospective of her work was held in Vienna at the Österreichische Galerie, Oberes Belvedere and in Manchester at the City Art Gallery. In 2006-07 her work was celebrated in a centenary exhibition at Tate Liverpool, travelling to Frankfurt, Vienna and Passau and Southampton City Art Gallery. Also in 2007 Jill Lloyd’s biography of Marie-Louise appeared: The Undiscovered Expressionist. A Life of Marie-Louise von Motesiczky, followed in 2009 by the catalogue raisonné of her paintings by Ines Schlenker itemising over 350 works. Most recently, in 2019-20, Tate Britain held an exhibition devoted to her to inaugurate the gallery named in perpetuity as the ‘Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Archive Gallery’ for all future displays of Tate’s archive holdings in general.

Institutions in the UK holding works by the artist include: the British Museum, Freud Museum, National Portrait Gallery and Tate in London (which also holds her archive); the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, New Walk Museum and Art Gallery, Leicester, Manchester Art Gallery, National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh and the Hunterian Art Gallery, Glasgow. Elsewhere her work is in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin; the Stedelijk, Amsterdam; the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum, Rotterdam; the Städel Museum, Frankfurt; the German Literary Archive in Marbach; the Albertina, Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, the Leopold Museum and the Museum Wien in Vienna, and the Lentos Kunstmuseum.

Bowl of fruit with candelabra oil on canvas 61 x 50.2 cm (24 x 19 3/4 in)

LITERATURE: I. Schlenker, Marie-Louise von Motesiczky 1906-1996, A Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings, New York, 2009, p. 197, no. 90, illustrated

Painted in the 1940s, Motesiczky uses the flickering flames of three lit candles to illuminate a still life that incorporates tokens of love and abundance. Set before the candelabra is a large and vibrant bouquet of red roses; in the foreground, placed on a newspaper is a cornucopia of apples and pears.

The motifs of flowers, fruit and the written word may well reference the happiness she was experiencing at the time with the writer Elias Canetti, the dancing light of the candles silhouetted against the black background perhaps reflecting a moment of magic in the relationship. A preparatory sketch for the painting is now in the collection of Tate’s Archive, the only significant difference being the introduction of the newspaper under the bowl of fruit in the finished work.

Painted in 1945. Ines Schlenker assumed in her 2009 catalogue that the present work depicts a gardener employed by Marie-Louise and her mother in Amersham, because the painting was done when Marie-Louise and her mother were living there. Recently it has been suggested that the subject might be a gardener who worked on the Motesiczkys’ estate at Hinterbrühl, south west of Vienna where they spent their summers before the War (fig.1). If this is so, he would have been painted from memory and photographs. A photograph survives in the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky archive at Tate of the man in question, Josef Rasser, although it does not allow a definitive identification with the gardener in the painting.

Jill Lloyd in her biography of Marie-Louise von Motesiczky describes the beauty of Hinterbrühl which ‘comprised a magnificent villa, with some eighteen large rooms, surrounded by several acres of landscaped gardens and woodland.’ Henriette, Marie-Louise’s mother, who inherited the property on her parents’ death, evoked the house in its heyday: ‘with its sweeping stone stairways, its scented rose gardens and its candlelit rooms, filled with the perfume of dark-red and pink carnations, which were placed every evening in a china jardinière at the centre of the dining table.’ (Lloyd p. 3).

Painted in 1956, the intended message of the present work - a semi-nude woman, on a chaise-longue wielding a long-handled implement to ward off a flying fish - has long remained a mystery. It has been suggested that the figure is Marie-Louise, and that the subject is both inspired by a dream and the influence of her mentor Max Beckmann.

Schlenker notes how the artist regulary recorded her dreams, sharing their absurdity in letters to Elias Caneti.

Schlenker comments: ‘In several dreams individual fish or a large number of them play a role... although none would directly explain The Magic Fish.’

In the late 1920s and early 1930s Beckmann had painted several large-scale canvases featuring women with fish. But whilst Beckmann’s female figures were clearly at ease with their catch, here the protagonist wants to repel the creature.

Yet, as Schlenker notes, when first exhibited critics widely admired its cryptic symbolism, remarking how it represented ‘something enigmatic, mysterious, something fateful... behind which, in reality stand impressions of human fates.’ and praised the ‘strangely uncanny fairytale world... which puts the viewer in its spell’ (Schlenker p. 270).

Dating from the 1960s this ‘double portrait’ was one of many that Marie-Louise painted throughout her life, often focusing on the relationship between two women. In the present composition, clearly designed to raise a smile, the artist accentuates the differences in the two women - one tall, one short; one flowing blond, one close-cropped brunette; one powdered with red lipstick and earrings, one unmade up and unadorned - and positions them in an almost painfully constricted space, trapped in conversation behind a table upon which the absurdly over-sized leaves of of a wilting rhododendron branch in a brown jug crowd out the women as they raise a glass.

Painted in 1986, the present work marks Marie-Louise’s return to painting Regent’s Park and the canal after a hiatus of nearly twenty-five years. She had first been attracted to it in 1951, when she painted two elegant ladies with a decidedly Continental air walking in front of John Nash’s fine classical terraces (Schlenker no. 108; Sale, Chiswick Auctions, 4th December 2020, lot 826) and in the following year, Regent’s Canal with Car (Schlenker no. 111).

Regent’s Canal with Aviary reprises the same viewpoint, Macclesfield Bridge, as this last painting, but is notably both more panoramic in format, and abundant in vegetation.

The view itself too is not entirely accurate, as the distinctive form of London Zoo’s aviary designed by Lord Snowden and built in 1965 that dominates the background, cannot actually be seen from the bridge. However, as with so many of Marie-Louise’s, works verisimilitude was not necessarily her priority. Rather it was her associations with people and places that she treasured, as Schlenker notes: ‘Motesiczky was especially fond of this location for here she could hear “such strange birdcalls” from within the zoo and from the surrounding park.’ (Schlenker p. 466).

Painted in 1960. As Schlenker notes this is one of the few self portraits in which Motesiczky depicts herself as a professional painter with all the attributes of her trade (Schlenker p. 307). Marie-Louise places herself before her easel with palette and brush in hand, wearing an artist’s smock and cap. The reason that she is painting what appears to be an eagle is ambiguous, but may well refer to her largest work to date, The Old Song, 1959 (Schlenker 158, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam). This was an allegorical subject in which ‘the ugly bird’ symbolises the husband to whom the figure ‘singing’ the song is unhappily married.

Painted in the 1960s, Ines Schlenker notes that the artist and her mother were both great dog lovers, and owned a succession of different breeds throughout their lives. As Schlenker describes, the focus is the grooming of a patient fawn-coloured Afghan. Behind the Afghan a large grey dog, possibly a poodle with its head held high, seeks attention.

Lower right a third dog looks on, its tail forming a graceful Arabesque with the back legs of the standing Afghan. The coiffeuse crouches behind the Afghan, her work surveyed by two women wearing hats, presumably the dog-owners, squashed into the top right quadrant of the composition to complete this intentionally humorous scene.

£2500 - 3500 Painted in the 1960s, Suzanne van Thijn (1904-c.1983) was a Dutch journalist and librarian of Jewish origin who fled Amsterdam in 1940. She spent the war years first in Oxford and then in London. Marie-Louise and Suzanne shared a number of friends, among them neighbours Nell and Arthur Clegg and the journalist, art critic and editor Henri Wiessing (1878-1961), who was van Thijn’s lover for many years. Wiessing and van Thijn remained in close touch with Marie-Louise after returning to the Netherlands when the War was over.

The idea of doing a portrait of Suzanne was conceived in the early 1950s. In 1952 Wiessing wrote to Marie-Louise: ‘The thought that you want to paint Suzanne has thrilled me.’ On a visit from Wiessing and Suzanne to London in 1953, Marie Louise wrote of the striking impression Suzanne made on her: ‘there they stood... Suzanne with her crown of hair à la Empress Elisabeth and the suit close fitting at the waist’ (Schlenker p. 396). But the artist didn’t in fact pursue the idea until a further visit by Suzanne to London in the 1960s, possibly shortly after Wiessing’s death. At the time Marie-Louise captured Suzanne’s cultured elegance in several photographs (fig. 1), almost certainly to act as an aide-mémoire for the present painting. Suzanne’s distinctive hairstyle clearly continued to fascinate Marie-Louise.

Schlenker notes that in the subsequent painting: ‘the artist concentrated on the sitter’s extraordinary hairstyle, long plaits of hair wound round her head several times, creating the impression of a crown.’ (Schlenker p. 396).

Contemporary Painting and Sculpture, 1960

Robin Howard (1924-1989) was the grandson of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and son of Sir Arthur Howard and Lady Lorna Howard. In the Second World War he was lieutenant in the Scots Guards, but injury resulted in the tragic loss of both his legs. He subsequently qualified as a lawyer, but never practiced and in 1956 he formed the Hungarian Department of the United Nations Association in England to assist refugees.

Best known as a patron of modern dance, in the 1950s he sponsored the Martha Graham Dance Company and persuaded them to perform in the UK. In 1967 he founded the London Contemporary Dance Theatre and the Contemporary Dance Trust and in 1969 based the Trust in a London complex of buildings known as The Place, which has served as a centre for British contemporary dance ever since.

19th & 20th Century Paintings and Works on Paper, including Por trait Miniatures

Medek’s startling and disconcerting imagery ensured that he was one of the most original voices within the Czech visual arts to emerge after the Second World War. The style of this and the following lot bear some comparison with the work of Max Ernst, including the abstraction of figural elements, the essential flatness of the motifs and the artist’s innovative use of his medium. But unlike Ernst, whose work always retained an underlying sense of decoration, Medek’s rarely incorporated such distractions. Rather they express an unremitting sense of anonymity and dislocation, the facial forms retaining an insistent impersonality.

That Ernst informed Medek’s style is not surprising. Prague had been a hot-bed of Surrealist activity since the 1920s. Up until the Second World War and well into the 1950s there were many and diverse exchanges between Surrealists in Paris and their counter parts in Prague. But as divisions and dissensions grew among the group in the post-War years, so Medek retreated from the public gaze to create a wholly new and more inscrutable aesthetic during the 1960s.

The tenor of his work reflected the political climate, Medek’s anxious imagery a response to the repression of the country during Communist rule, and the hectoring of the Soviet Union in particular.

An early study for Venus in Venus Discordia, executed during a period of stress circa 1870, owing to the relationship with Maria Zambaco.

Burne-Jones obviously later felt that such distress indicated by the twisted hands and limbs, was not suitable for permanent inclusion in the final painting. In the pencil composition study made in 1871 (Whitworth Art Gallery) the artist has already rejected this anxious figure in favour of a contemplative figure. Burne-Jones rarely designed figures in such anxious states, but exceptions are found in Despair, Envy and Folly (St Chad’s Church, Rochdale) of 1873 and the statues in the Pilgrim Outside the Garden of Idleness embroidery designed in 1874 and The Souls by the Styx c.1873. – Willam Water Thank you to William Waters for his assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.

Cardinals, Cavaliers and Gentlemen of learning Assembled some twenty years ago lots 358 to 367 offer a particularly fine and representative selection of costumbrista pictures – cardinals, cavaliers and gentlemen of learning. These include four especially fine examples by the leading exponents of this singular genre: George Jehan Vibert, Andrea Landini and Francois Brunery.

Ever popular both then and now, the subject matter offers a retreat into the past and the chance both to celebrate and poke fun at a wide variety of male past-times and peccadilloes in historicizing styles. In each the protagonists act out small moments of little consequence dressed up in the frills and furbelows of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century fashions, or in many instances in the elaborate pomp and ceremony attached to ecclesiastical garb.

This last theme, especially popular in predominantly Catholic countries – France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Southern Germany, provided a rich vein of material for an audience increasingly sceptical of the probity of the church.

In other scenes musicians and gentlemen of letters are presented in opulent dress in magnificent surroundings of earlier centuries. By so cloaking their protagonists, artists avoided the risk of pandering to the fashions of the day that would quickly become outdated. Instead their compositions exude the timeless taste, elegance and luxury of yesteryear.

To paraphrase Hook and Poltimore, in an age of increasing industrialisation it was a world of sedan chairs, not railways; of muslin and brocade not coalmines; of refinement, not contemporary grossness. (P. Hook & M Poltimore, Popular 19th Century Painting, Woodbridge, 1987, p. 296). Today the viewer glimpses an extraordinary never-never world of splendour and excess through the lense of some of the most technically talented painters of the period.

358 Property from an English Private Collection ANDREA LANDINI (ITALIAN 1847-1912)

The Toast signed A.Landini (lower right)

oil on canvas 53.5 x 64.7 cm (21 1/8 x 25 1/2 in) PROVENANCE: Willow Gallery, Weybridge Purchased from the above by the present owner in May 2002

Landini became a master of sending up the pampered lives of clerics in his elaborately constructed and extraordinarily detailed work. In the present painting two robed prelates and their richly attired man servant in a luxuriously appointed salon stand up to raise a glass to celebrate their privilege.

On a pristine lace tablecloth a champagne bottle is uncorked, while a second is cooling; a delicious dessert awaits on a silver stand next to an elaborate cornucopia of fruit. To the right is a carafe of wine. On the wall behind them between ornate pilasters hangs a tapestry of three nattering women in the style of Boucher, the master of pompous inconsequence. The setting is secular, the occasion in all likelihood trivial, as the male triumvirate mimic the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and the Holy Ghost - the three men standing around what is clearly an altar of earthly delights.

In the present work three generations – son, father and grandfather – have withdrawn from the ladies after their meal to enjoy male companionship and indulge in coffee and liqueurs. All are mellow with drink, the grandson enjoying the moment as his grandfather tremulously fills his glass, watched anxiously by his father. Dressed in highly elaborate eighteenth-century Rococo garb, including satin breeches, fabulously decorated tailcoats and richly embroidered waistcoats, the desire not to spill a single drop of the precious liquid contrasts with the three men’s extraordinarily lavish attire and their sumptuous surroundings, all of which afforded Brunery the opportunity to exhibit his consummate skill with a paint brush.

360 Property from an English Private Collection FRANCOIS BRUNERY (ITALIAN 1849-1926)

A challenging passage signed F.Brunery (lower right) oil on canvas 61 x 51 cm (24 x 20 in)

PROVENANCE: Sale, Christie’s, London, 21 March 1997, lot 17 Haynes Fine Art, Broadway

In the present work Brunery situates his lute playing ‘cavaliers’ in a Dutch seventeenth century interior. By referencing the Dutch Golden Age, Brunery aligns himself with such Old Master maestros as Gerard ter Borsh and Frans van Mieris, to serve up a feast of colours, textures and designs. Clad in billowing velvet knickerbockers, ornately brocaded doublet and sporting the most intricate lace ruffs, the men’s lush and highly ornamented costumes contrast with the hand-woven deep pile oriental carpet that covers the table, and the hard glazed surfaces of the adjacent drinking vessels, allowing the artist the opportunity to show off his painterly virtuosity.

The present impressive oil is an especially large scale example of Jehan George Vibert’s wry depiction of the Catholic Church seen behind closed doors. In it a choir of eight monks are rehearsed by a cantankerous Monseigneur in his palatial surroundings. Enthroned on a richly brocaded armchair the prelate clutches his violin as he strains forward in his seat, using his bow to conduct. Accompanying the singers are a double-bass player and a young and earnest pianist, both attired in distinctive red ecclesiastical robes.

With mouths open-wide, and eyes fixed intently on their music, the choir seem to be literally singing for their lives.

Woe betide the poor chorister who sings a wrong note, or misses the beat.

411 λ LAURENCE HILLIARD (BRITISH 1581/2-1647/8)

Portrait miniature of a nobleman, circa 1605, wearing black doublet and white ruff, blue background with gold border gouache on vellum set into the lid of an ivory box 50mm (2 in) high PROVENANCE: Edain Bucher

£3000 - 5000

114

The sitter in this delicate portrait was clearly a nobleman connected with the court, which is made apparent by the black doublet he is wearing.

Black was an expensive cloth to produce and usually only worn by the very wealthiest people. It has been suggested that the sitter could be Sir Thomas Coventry, later 1st Baron Coventry of Aylesborough (15781640). He regularly commissioned portraits from Cornelius Johnson between 1623 and 1639, and there are various versions of his portrait in private and public collections including a number in properties owned by the National Trust. Coventry was a prominent English lawyer, politician and judge. In 1617 he was made Solicitor-General by King James I and knighted, and in 1621 he became Attorney General. On the ascent of

Charles I in 1625, he was promoted again, to Lord Keeper. He was created Baron Coventry of Aylesboroughin 1628. As a Protestant, it is thought that his appointment served to quell religious friction following the King’s marriage to Henrietta Maria. Laurence Hilliard was the son of the eminent miniaturist Nicholas Hilliard. He began his apprenticeship circa 1597 and completed it in 1605. He worked for James I and Queen Anne of Denmark and inherited his father’s appointment as limner to James I. Some of Laurence’s miniatures, as evident here, show the blue background which are reminiscent of his father’s work.

Portrait miniature of a nobleman, wearing a blue coat with silver frogging, a pink waistcoat with lace trimming, a heart shaped cravat pin, a black tricorn hat under his arm, and a powdered wig

The present portrait of John Boyd, Regent of Glasgow University, was made when Faber was living in England. Arriving from The Hague in 1696, Faber settled in London and soon gained royal commissions.

The technique known as plumbago or monochromatic portrait became popular amongst academic patrons in the later 17th century.

Intellectual curiosity and connoisseurship of prints persuaded many academics, connected to universities, to commission their own portraits drawn in a style that evoked the fine detailed lines of engravings.

This was a period when prints were avidly collected. In 1707 Faber himself set up his own business selling prints on the Strand and later moved to larger premises.

It is probable that John Boyd commissioned his portrait from Faber on a visit to London in 1698, a year before his death. He may have intended to further commission an engraving from this pen and ink drawing to include as a frontispiece in his published works.

He was a pupil of Le Guay and Durameau, he was particularly successful during the Revolutionary period in France, painting impressively complex compositions of sitters in classical dress. His career continued into the 19th century, where he painted the director of the Opéra, Louis Luc de Persius (1769-1819) in a stunning portrait, showing him in the act of composing music. Thiboust’s self-portrait is in the collection of the Musee Carnavalet, Paris.

£400 - 600 Philip Jean was born in St. Ouen, Jersey. He was patronised by the Royal Family and painted full length portraits of George III and Queen Charlotte.

Edward Miles became an errand boy to a surgeon who encouraged him in drawing. In 1771, he went to London and entered the Royal Academy Schools. He was appointed Miniature Painter to the Duchess of York in 1792 and to Queen Charlotte in 1794. He was Court Painter to the Tsar in St. Petersburg from 1797 to 1806. He finally settled in Philadelphia, where he became a founder member of the Academy. Although the sitter’s identity has not been found, it is likely that the portrait dates from circa 1790/94 - during which time he was working in London and before his journey to Russia.

The Royal Staff Corps was a corps of the British Army which was founded circa 1800 and disbanded in circa 1837. It was generally responsible for short-term military engineering works, with the Royal Engineers and Corps of Royal Sappers and Miners remaining responsible for permanent works, but the boundaries between the functions of the corps were blurred.

The Royal Staff Corps answered to the Quartermaster-General instead of to the Board of Ordnance. It also seems to have provided personnel for military police and orderly duties. On its disbandment most of its personnel transferred to the Royal Engineers and the Corps of Royal Sappers and Miners.

£500 - 700 Captain Burslem was educated at Rugby School. He was appointed an Ensign in the 11th Foot in December 1789 rising to Lieutenant Colonel in the 14th Foot by October 1814. He was appointed to command the 17th Foot in 1826 and afterwards retired from the service by 1829.

He became a fashionable artist, particularly known for painting children and was patronised by the aristocracy and the Royal Family.

Gertrude Massey specialised in painting miniature portraits of children and later dogs. Her body of work includes likenesses of the children of Queen Alexandra and Edward VII, executed at Balmoral Castle. She clearly readily engaged with the somewhat arduous task of painting younger sitters, outlining in her autobiography the necessary measures taken in order to capture accurate likenesses of her easily distracted subjects: ‘When children are very young - and I have painted children of all ages - I prefer to paint them in their own surroundings. They soon begin to play and forget that I am watching them. If they are old enough, I give them pencil and paper and ask them to draw me. Thus I get a good look every time they raise their heads to study me.’ (Massey, p.83).

The upward gaze of the boy in the present miniature, would suggest that the child was old enough to be asked to draw Gertrude.

Sir Herbert Atkinson Barker (18691950) was a reknowned British osteopath and manipulator. As a bonesetter or manipulative surgeon he was at odds with the medical profession at the turn of the century because he practised healing without having received the traditional education of a teaching hospital. His patients included Shaw, Kipling and Augustus John. In 1920, 307 MP’s signed a petition asking the Archbishop of Canterbury to bestow on Barker an honorary medical degree. This failed, but two years later he received a knighthood. Medical hostility gradually petered out. In 1936 he gave a demonstration of his skills before the British Orthopaedic Association, and three years later a film of his work was made. On 8 September, 1967 The Times reported that Michael Joseph’s book Harley Street, revealed that prominent surgeons were sending their patients to Barker despite the B.M.A. ban on him. The present miniature is painted on a photographic base. Mildred Lingwood may have been married to Edgar Lingwood who ran a photographic studio.

Terms and Conditions for Buyers at Chiswick Auctions 1. BEFORE THE SALE

1.1 Agent for the seller Unless otherwise agreed, Chiswick Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as CA LTD acts as agent for the seller. The contract for sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

1.2 Definitions For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the Goods. It is implied that the Seller is the legitimate owner and is authorised to sell the Lot. The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot. The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by CA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply.

1.3 Catalogue descriptions Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, authenticity or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only.

Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by CA Ltd in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description.

The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof.

Photographs of any Lot provided by CA Ltd are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representation of the said Lot. The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good.

1.4 Inspection Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them.

1.5 Condition report CA Ltd may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale.

This Condition Report is for identification purposes only and cannot be considered as giving a precise account of the Lot’s true state. Thus, some imperfections and faults may not be accounted for in the Condition Report.

As aforementioned, and in the absence of any contractual value of the Condition report, it is the Buyer’s sole duty to inspect in person the Lot in order to be assured of its true condition and CA Ltd shall not be responsible for assertions within the Condition Report hereto.

1.6 Electricals All electrical items are sold as seen and CA Ltd offers no guarantee as to the working condition of such items or their safety.

It is the Buyer’s duty to take necessary steps to be assured that the Lot is safe for normal use.

1.7 Estimates Estimates are based on various factors inherent to the situation of the market at the time of the sale, as well as considerations such as the condition, rarity, or quality of the item etc.

Estimates are only indicative and represent the opinion of CA Ltd. Estimates provided by CA Ltd cannot constitute a guarantee as to the value of the good. Subsequently, goods may sell at prices lower or higher than the provided estimates.

1.8 Reserves Many Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum sale price. The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. CA Ltd may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price. This can be achieved by bidding in response to other bidders or alternatively by placing consecutive bids.

1.9 Registration to the sale New bidders will need to register prior to the sale. It is strongly advised bidders register

148

Visit chiswickauctions.co.uk or call 020 3949 7130

at least 24 hours before the sale. Registration thereafter shall be at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.

International bidders may be required to register 48 hours before the sale and to submit bank details.

A deposit may be requested prior to each sale.

Failure to register shall result in the impossibility for the bidder to purchase a Lot.

1.10 Proof of identity Bidders not previously known to CA Ltd will be required to provide:

• Official proof of identity in the form of a passport or photocard driving licence. No other forms of ID are acceptable.

• Proof of address of main residence. Only official documents showing name and address will be accepted.

• Both landline and mobile telephone numbers • A bank reference for foreign bidders may be requested • Corporate clients will have to provide a certificate of incorporation prior to the auction, along with the representative’s ID in accordance with the above-mentioned requirements for proof of identity.

Any Bidder that does not match the provided identity for registration may not purchase during the sale.

2. DURING THE SALE

2.1 Attendance at auction Attending the auction in person is recommended.

CA Ltd has the right at their absolute discretion to refuse participation in any auction, to reject any bid, and to refuse admission to the premises.

Bidders are not obliged to be present in person at the auction.

Absentee bidders shall be required to make necessary arrangements with CA Ltd prior to the sale.

2.2 Personal bidding Bidders attending the auction in person shall be required to collect a unique bidding paddle prior to bidding in the sale.

2.3 Commission bids CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts to carry out Commission bids received by them prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person. Execution of Commission bids is a free service provided to help clients and CA Ltd does not accept liability for any failure to execute a Commission bid or for errors and omissions in connection with it.

Commission bids shall be executed at the lowest possible price, subject to competing bids and reserves. Although CA Ltd will endeavour to inform Buyers, it is the Buyer’s responsibility to check if they have been successful in purchasing a Lot. In the event of multiple commission bids set at the same price, the first registered commission bid will take priority.

2.4 Telephone bids If a bidder is not able to attend in person an auction, CA Ltd will use reasonable efforts to contact prospective Buyers who make arrangements prior to commencement of the sale to bid by telephone.

CA Ltd cannot be held responsible in the event of issues affecting connectivity, resulting in the loss of a chance of purchasing the Lot for the Bidder.

2.5 Internet bids Some sales may be available to internet bidding, as well as personal attendance. In this event, CA Ltd shall not be held responsible for issues affecting connection. In addition to having our own in-house online bidding platform, some sales are also offered with online live bidding by third party platforms, CA Ltd is not responsible for any issues that may arise during registration or utilising said platforms. CA ltd encourages prospective bidders to bid directly with Chiswick Live or via traditional direct in-house means wherever possible.

2.6 Bidding on behalf of someone

Terms and Conditions for Buyers at Chiswick Auctions A Buyer may bid by proxy. In this event, proof of identity of both the Buyer and the proxy must be communicated to CA Ltd prior to the sale. A copy of the mandate shall also be required.

2.7 Bidding on an item Bid incrementation is at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.

2.8 Video transmission For the purpose of the sale, Lots may be displayed on video during the auction. In the event of transmission issues, CA Ltd shall not be held responsible for any subsequent outcome.

2.9 Online-only auctions Some auctions may only be available to bidders via an online platform sale. In this event, Buyers have a 14 day period from the receipt of goods to withdraw from the sale, in accordance with EU Consumer Law. This returns policy relates only to lots where physical viewing of lots prior to sale is not offered by CA Ltd.

2.10 Dispute resolution during the auction Any dispute shall be settled at the auctioneer’s absolute discretion. Under no circumstances will a sale be cancelled after the fall of the hammer, except at the auctioneer’s entire discretion.

3. CONTRACT FORMATION AND EFFECTS

3.1 Contract of sale The contract of sale is between the Buyer and the Seller.

The Buyer shall be the bidder at the highest price at the fall of the hammer. The sale is deemed complete once the auctioneer announces its completion by the fall of the hammer and the contract shall be binding thereafter between the Buyer and the Seller and CA Ltd. When a Buyer purchases multiple Lots, each Lot is the subject of a separate contract of sale.

3.2 Transfer of property Property of the goods shall pass to the Buyer only once CA Ltd has received full payment for the goods, this includes the price at the fall of the hammer as well as Buyer’s premium, relevant taxes, and costs in relation to shipping.

3.3 Transfer of risks Purchased Lots shall be at the Buyer’s risk in all respects from the fall of the hammer, and neither CA Ltd nor their agents shall be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

3.4 Cancellation of the sale At the fall of the hammer, the contract is formed between the Buyer and CA Ltd and is binding thereafter.

Under no circumstances can the Buyer cancel the sale.

CA Ltd may at its entire discretion, during or after the auction, cancel the sale of the Lot or reoffer and resell the Lot if it becomes aware of any error or dispute of any nature, whether or not title has passed to the Buyer, and up to a period of 6 months after the said sale.

Grounds for cancellation under the present section shall include but not be limited to any dispute relating to the attribution or provenance of the Lot, ownership and title, fraud or deceit, lack of relevant licences or certificates, any subsequent changes in domestic or international legislations restricting the sale of export of goods etc.

In the event of internet-only auctions (where are no offered advanced physical viewing times), the Buyer shall have a 14 day right to retract, after receipt of the Lot, under EU Consumer Law. Public auctions are not covered by this right to retract.

4. AFTER THE SALE

4.1 Payment All purchased lots must be paid for on the day of the auction. Commission bids must be paid for no later than the day after the auction. Payment must be made by cash, debit, credit card or bank transfer. We do not accept cheques. We do not currently accept American Express.

CA ltd adheres strictly to current anti-money laundering regulations and reserves the right

to refuse payment or cancel the sale of any lot, should suspicion or evidence of regulation infringement arise. The 2020 guidelines reference ‘Art Works’, but are as yet to be fully defined. As such, CA Ltd reserves the right to adapt buying/selling rules at any time, in order to maintain compliance.

Cash payments shall not be receivable for amounts over €10,000, regardless of the payment being for one or multiple Lots. As of 2020, new directives also extend to other forms of payment where the amount is in excess of €10,000 and this may require further information sharing covering both buyers and sellers.

Should it encounter contravention of said regulations, or is unable to bring buyers/sellers into line with said regulations through advice and support, CA ltd reserves the right to cancel any lot transaction and offer said lots to underbidders and where applicable will notify the relevant authority of the suspected contravention if deemed intentional.

Payments made by someone other than the registered Buyer shall not be accepted.

Title will not pass to the Buyer until CA Ltd has received all amounts due to them in cleared funds even if the Lot has been released to the Buyer.

4.2 Buyer’s Premium The Buyer will pay CA Ltd a premium of 25% on the hammer price plus VAT on that commission on the first £500,000 and 12% plus VAT on the balance thereafter. A Buyer’s Premium of 21% plus VAT is charged on Wine & Spirits Lots.

The VAT payable varies by symbol as below: No Symbol: The standard rate of VAT is charged on the premium under the Auctioneers Margin Scheme in accordance with Art. 333 of 2006/112/EC. Standard UK VAT will be charged on the buyers’ premium and invoiced on an inclusive basis. †: Normal VAT rules?apply and the standard rate of VAT will be charged on both hammer price and premium. *: These lots have been imported from outside the UK for sale and placed under the Temporary Admission regime.

Goods such as books and antique books, music, maps and charts etc. are subject to zerorated VAT. In addition, any import taxes that may be incurred shall be paid by the Buyer above hammer price, VAT and Buyer’s premium. The present paragraph applies in particular to imports within the United-States and Australia. The Buyer is advised to verify such matters prior to the sale.

4.4 Artist Resale Rights / Droit de Suite Lots marked with ‘ARR’ may be subject to a levy.

Droit de Suite is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist or to the artist’s heir each time a work is resold during the artist’s lifetime and up to a period of 70 years after the artist’s death. Royalties are calculated on a cumulative sliding percentage scale based on the hammer price excluding the buyer’s premium. The royalty does not apply to Lots selling below the sterling equivalent of €1,000 and the maximum royalty payable on any single Lot is the sterling equivalent of €12,500.

Royalties for Droit de Suite are as follows:

150

Visit chiswickauctions.co.uk or call 020 3949 7130

related to the trade of cultural goods, export licences may be required for export outside of the European Union if the item’s value exceeds the EU threshold. Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-EU trade.

Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods. For example, the United States prohibits the import of pre-Columbian monumental or architectural sculpture or murals, as well as any cultural goods in provenance from some countries subject to armed conflicts.

The Buyer must verify local legislation prior to the sale in order to be assured that import or export is possible.

4.11 CITES Import and export restrictions Certain endangered species are listed in the CITES Convention. Listed specimens and any parts or products thereof are subject to issuance of an export permit when leaving the European Union.

Appendix I species, are also subject to issuance of a prior import permit from the country in which the goods are to be imported. Such permits are necessary before applying for export permits and it is the Buyer’s duty to initiate the proceedings with the relevant authority.

The Buyer must be aware that certain countries prohibit the import of some species or any parts or products derived thereof. For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter.

Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences.

Please be aware that all Lots marked with the symbol λ are subject to CITES regulations.

4.12 Limitation of liability regarding CITES export licenses Where licences are required for importing or exporting outside of the European Union, it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them.

CA Ltd cannot be held responsible if the Buyer’s application for an export permit is unsuccessful. Subsequently, in the event of failure thereof, CA Ltd shall not permit cancellation or rescission of the sale.

4.13 Warranties CA Ltd does not provide the Buyer with warranties relating to any Lot, unless required by Law.

4.14 Authenticity warranty In the event of a Lot being sold as authentic under the catalogue description and the Buyer provides evidence in the form of a written report by a recognised expert or test results that the said Lot is not authentic, CA Ltd will refund the purchase price.

The Buyer shall give notice to CA Ltd within 28 days from knowledge or any event giving reasons for suspecting that the item is not authentic, and within one year of the said sale.

Any claim thereafter shall not be receivable. For the purposes of the present paragraph, authenticity shall be defined as the state of a Lot that is genuine and not a forgery or a copy.

5. ANTIQUITIES AND TRIBAL ART

5.1 Import and export restrictions and regulations Archaeological goods over 100 years of age, unless covered by exemption of limited scientific interest, will require an EU Licence for export to a third country, regardless of their value.

It is recommended that the Buyer contact the Export Licensing Unit at Arts Council England in order to be assured the good is or not of limited archaeological or scientific interest.

Archaeological goods found on United-Kingdom soil or in UK territorial waters over 50 years of age shall require a UK Licence regardless of their value and regardless of the export destination. Other archaeological objects regardless of their origin will require an Individual Licence or OGEL depending on their value.

Both European-Union and UK Licences may be required simultaneously for some items. It is the Buyer’s duty to undertake the necessary steps. CA Ltd cannot be held responsible and the sale cannot be cancelled in the event of failure to obtain the relevant licences.

6. JEWELLERY

6.1 Gemstone treatment and estimates

Terms and Conditions for Buyers at Chiswick Auctions Many gemstones on the market have been treated so as to augment their appearance, in a reversible or permanent manner. Treatments under the present section may be but not limited to:

• Heat treatment to enhance sapphires and rubies’ clarity and colour • Oil and resin treatments for emeralds applied in different ways, to enhance clarity of the stone • Staining • Irradiation • Coating

Estimates provided by CA Ltd are deemed to be based on the fact that the gemstone may have been subject to any type of treatment in the past. CA Ltd shall not be responsible in the absence of mention thereof.

A certificate may be issued by a laboratory, providing with detailed information on the condition of the gemstone and any treatment applied thereto. The Buyer must be aware that different laboratories have different approaches as to the degree or type of treatment for a particular gemstone.

If a certificate accompanies the Lot, the Buyer must be aware that it is merely a statement of the laboratory’s opinion and in no way can CA Ltd be held responsible for any mentions therein. Such certificates are deemed to be delivered with the Lot for informative purposes only.

6.2 Estimated weights If a stone’s exact weight appears within the body of the description, the stone has been unmounted and weighed by CA Ltd. If the weight of a stone is stated to be approximate, the stone has been assessed by CA Ltd within its setting, and the defined weight is a statement of opinion only. This information is given as a guide and bidders should satisfy themselves with regard to this information as to its accuracy.

6.3 Signatures ‘A diamond ring, by X’: When the maker’s name appears in the title, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion the piece is by that maker.

‘A diamond ring, signed X’: Has a signature that, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, is authentic but may contain gemstones that are not original, or the piece may have been altered.

‘A diamond ring, mounted by X’: Has been created by the jeweller, in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion, but using stones or designs supplied by the client.

‘Maker’s mark for X’: Has a maker’s mark which in Chiswick Auctions’ opinion is authentic.

Some items may include parts or products derived from endangered species, such as ivory or coral. Such items may be subject to import or export restrictions. See section on CITES regulations for more details.

7. CLOCKS AND WATCHES

All Lots are sold as seen. Clocks and watches are therefore not deemed to be sold in working condition. Absence of reference thereof in the description does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, or has been subject to repair or restoration.

CA Ltd makes no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, bidders should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary.

Most clocks and watches are likely to have been repaired in the past, and as a result may include parts that are not original thereto.

The United-States restrict the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller or Corum.

Such models can only be imported personally by the Buyer and CA Ltd cannot assist with shipping thereof.

Some watches may include leather straps derived from endangered species. Buyers may be required to obtain appropriate permits for import or export purposes in accordance with CITES regulations.

CA Ltd acts in compliance with such legislations and shall take necessary steps where required.

Subsequently, watches may be deemed sold without their straps.

8. FURNITURE

8.1 Upholstered furniture after 1950 According to The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, furniture that was upholstered after the 1st of January 1950 is subject to restrictions in the United-Kingdom.

Exempt upholstered furniture that does not meet such requirements is deemed sold for purely aesthetic purposes. CA Ltd shall not be responsible for later alterations to the furniture, making it unfit for sale.

9. GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS
