IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BUYERS Definition “Auctioneers” Matthew Barton Ltd. All lots are offered subject to the Conditions of Business reproduced on the website www.OlympiaAuctions.com, and printed at the end of the auction catalogue.

A Buyer’s Premium of 25% is applicable to all lots. The Buyer’s Premium is subject to VAT at the standard rate (currently 20%). Unless otherwise indicated lots are offered for sale under the auctioneer’s margin scheme and VAT on the Buyer’s Premium is payable by all Buyers.

Unless otherwise stated all lots are subject to a reserve set at the low estimate or below. Estimates are published as a guide only and are subject to review. The actual Hammer Price of a lot may well be higher or lower than the range of figures given and there are no fixed “starting prices”.

The Auctioneers will be pleased to execute bids on behalf of those clients unable to attend the sale in person, subject to our Conditions of Business. All bids must be submitted in writing in good time and lots will always be purchased as cheaply as possible (depending on any other bids received, reserves and competition). This service is offered free of charge.

Olympia Auctions are pleased to offer free online bidding directly through their website at www.OlympiaAuctions.com. Other online bidding platforms making an additional surcharge are available for this auction, please see the relevant platforms for further details.

The Auctioneers may supply quotations for shipping of purchases, including transit insurance and VAT refund administration fees, and where possible will endeavour to assist in the application for any export licenses which may be required. Buyers are reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with UK export regulations and with any local import requirements. Olympia Auctions are not responsible for delays in delivery which might be caused by shippers or local customs.

Symbols VAT ‘‡’ ‘†’ Lots marked with the symbol ‘‡’ have been imported from outside the European Union (EU), to be sold at auction under Temporary Import Rules. When released to the Buyer within the EU, including the UK, the Buyer will become the importer and must pay VAT at the rate of 5% on the Hammer Price and 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. Lots marked with the symbol ‘†’ are subject to normal VAT rules and the standard VAT will be charged on both the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium. Buyers outside the EU will normally be eligible to obtain a refund in respect of VAT, upon satisfactory documentary evidence of exportation. Further information on this matter is available on request.

Lots, such as books, are zero-rated for VAT in the United Kingdom. The Auctioneers will not charge VAT on either the Hammer Price or Buyer’s Premium of these lots.

Ivory and Restricted Materials (CITES)

‘~’ Lots marked with the symbol ~ have been identified at the time of cataloguing as containing organic material which may be subject to restrictions regarding import or export. As the Auctioneers of these articles, the Auctioneers undertake to comply fully with CITES and DEFRA regulation. Buyers are advised to inform themselves of all such regulations and should expect the exportation of items to take some time to arrange. The information is made available for the convenience of the Bidder and the absence of the symbol is not a warranty that there are no restrictions regarding import or export of the Lot. The Auctioneers accept no liability for any lots which may be subject to CITES but have not been identified as such. Please note that it is not possible to post or ship ivory of any kind (including marine ivory) to the United States of America. ‘▣’ For items with No Reserve.

Cataloguing Practice PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE AND THAT ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE. Weights may only be accurate to within 5 grams. Weights shown as ‘(*oz)’ are in Troy Ounces and usually rounded down to the full ounce.

It is common practice for many gemstones to be treated by a variety of methods to enhance their appearance and the international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods. Although heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, in some cases this could affect the durability of a gemstone. Oiled gemstones may need re-oiling after a certain period. If no gemmological report is published in the catalogue, prospective Buyers should be aware that the gemstones or pearls could have been enhanced by some method.

Condition is not normally recorded and all lots are sold as viewed. Condition reports can be requested prior to sale. Whilst the Auctioneers are pleased to provide a general report of condition, the Auctioneers are not professional conservators or restorers and any statements made are merely subjective, qualified opinion. Prospective Buyers should satisfy themselves in person wherever possible as to the condition of a lot, or ask an agent to inspect it for them.

Payment Payment is due in sterling at the conclusion of the sale and before purchases can be released. Please note that we require seven days to clear sterling cheques unless special arrangements have been made in advance of the sale. We are pleased to accept UK debit cards. Cash and UK registered debit card payments above £6,000 and "card holder not present" payments above £2,000 cannot be accepted.

They see themselves as descendants and followers of Visvakarma, the Hindu god who is considered architect of the universe, and are divided into five groups, each descending from one of Visvakarma’s five sons, comprising carpenters, blacksmiths, bell metalworkers, goldsmiths and stonemasons. Haku Patras are effectively grant certificates which accord rights to single persons or groups of people: this might be rights over the use of land, or to perform or provide services. They are thought to have been in use For about 500 years, which means this is an early example. As well as metal, Haku Patras are sometimes paper documents or scrolls. The main work on the subject is research undertaken by R. Thirmal Rao funded by the British Library.

He and his brother Balabhadra and their sister Subhadra are worshipped as a trio, always depicted with large round eyes and often handless arms. The cult is an example of the characteristic ability of Hinduism to absorb popular local cults into the mainstream. It is likely that the link between Jagannath and Vishnu occurred after the cult was well established, and simple village origins are suggested by the form of the deities.

Paintings of this type were produced as mementoes for pilgrims visiting the famous temple in the seaside town, built in the 12th century by Anantavarman Codagangadeva.

Exhibited: Richard Dennis, ‘Doulton Pottery Exhibition’, 1975, part II, No.38 (with paper label) Linnie Watt (exhibited 1874-1908) started using Doulton Lambeth faience chargers in 1875. Shown at International Exhibitions in Philadelphia and Paris, she also exhibited her paintings at the Royal Academy between 1877-1901 and was a member of the Society of Lady Artists from 1874. John Sparkes, the principal of the Lambeth School of Art, sang her praises: “She has a most distinguished gift for conveying the impression of a picturesque scene with rustic figures, in excellent colour, and with artistic breadth of effect, quite admirable in its truth.” It is likely that the present lot was shown at one of Howell & James’s exhibitions, where she was a regular prize winner. As John Culme writes in his blog for Olympia Auctions (9th May 2018): “Howell & James, the department store with an established reputation for selling the best in up-to-date jewellery, clocks, ceramics, dressing cases and art metalwork came to the fore in promoting painting on china following the 1875 fire which destroyed the Mintons Art Pottery Studio in Kensington Gore. The management at H&J decided to display such work executed by amateur and professional artists. These annual three-month exhibitions, patronised by royalty, were a success. In 1878, just two years into the series, visitors topped ten thousand and the number of exhibits were around 1,700. Flowers, children, animals and birds were favourite subjects for painted plaques.” For another Linnie Watt painted Doulton faience piece, with a Howell & James label, see ‘Richard Dennis - A Potted History’, Bonhams, London, 12 March 2008, lot 270. £500-700

The Theobalds Museum was a large collection of Egyptian antiquities, amassed by the colourful Valerie Lady Meux (18471910). The British Musuem’s Egyptologist, Walter Budge, catalogued over 1700 artefacts in the collection. The museum turned down her bequest of the collection however, so it was sold following her death. Apparently Valerie Susan Langdon (otherwise Val Reece) met the brewery millionaire Sir Henry Meux at the Casino de Venise in Holborn, where she entertained the clientele with her banjo playing and singing (more scurrilous gossips inferring that she was also entertained gentlemen privately). Marrying in secret in 1878, the couple enlarged their 18th century mansion, Theobalds, near Waltham Cross, including such improvements as a swimming pool and indoor skating rink.

Although shunned by much of society, the Prince of Wales (Edward VIII) and Winston Churchill visited; entertained in the banqueting room of Christopher Wren’s Temple Bar, which had been transported from London and re-erected as the estate’s gatehouse. Twice painted by Whistler, a third unfinished portrait was supposedly destroyed by the artist following a falling-out with Lady Meux.

354 A FRENCH SILVER-GILT-MOUNTED LUSTRE CLARET JUG, CLEMENT MASSIER EARTHENWARE, GOLFE JUAN (ALPES MARITIME), SILVER BY MAISON BOIN-TABURET, PARIS, CIRCA 1890 the baluster jug moulded with a girdle at the shoulder covered in a burnt orange glaze with gilt highlights, gilt painted marks ‘C.M / GOLFE JUAN / (AM)’, the mounts cast in foliate openwork Rococo style, the lid with cast flower finial, maker’s mark Georges Boin, 950 standard, in its chamois and silk lined green box 27cm. high Clément Massier (1844-1917), from an established family of potters in Vallauris, started his gallery / workshop ‘La Poterie du Golfe Juan’ in 1883. Famous for the metallic lustre glazes he developed, his premises became a destination for wealthy visitors to the French Riviera.

At the same time Rococo style silver was enjoying a revival: the magazine ‘Le Temps’ of 11 January 1889 citing (in translation) ‘It is perhaps M. Boin-Taburet, more than any other silversmith, who has contributed to this return to Louis XV.’ For another Massier claret jug with Rococo style silver mounts, with marks for Karl Fabergé, see Sotheby’s, New York, 12 April 2011, lot 279.

The inspiration for this claret jug may have been one of a handful of 18th century jasper ewers with Rococo mounts. A gold-mounted example, Paris, circa 1734/35, is in the Museu Gulbenkian, Lisbon. Although the design has long been attributed to François Boucher (1703-1770), Peter Fuhring more recently has suggested that it may have been the work of Juste-Auréle Meissonier (1695-1750). Another example, with gilt bronze mounts of the same design, formerly in the collection of Baron Edmond de Rothschild (1845-1934), was sold at Sotheby’s, London, 8 July 2015, lot 15. £800-1200

Provenance: The Barons Bagot of Bagot’s Bromley. The salver may have been acquired by a member of the family in the mistaken belief it bore their coat of arms, since the sinister arms appear (but for the colours) to be same as those for Bagot.

In 1720 a duty of sixpence per ounce was applied to silver. Silversmiths were frequently tempted to avoid or reduce the tax by recycling old hallmarks, submitting a very much lighter piece of silver For assay and subsequently inserting the marks into a much heavier piece, or simply stamping the piece with their maker’s mark only. Resulting silver items are known as duty dodgers. John White, although known for interesting and high quality silver, is also known to have been a transgressor when it came to paying duty. It would appear with this ‘duty dodger’ salver that John White in about 1725 remodelled a late 17th century piece, adding the border, the feet and his own maker’s mark, to produce the salver we see today.

Although this infraction against British hallmarking laws was committed almost 300 years ago, it remains a crime and the salver would be illegal without the modern additions marks. The LAO case number has also been struck in case clarification might be needed in the future. £1200-1800

520 AN ‘EMAIL DE SAXE’ SNUFF BOX, PERHAPS FROMERY WORKSHOP, BERLIN AND / OR PARIS, CIRCA 1745 rectangular, the white ground covered with raised gilt tangled rope and entwined branches embellished with translucent enamel leaves and flowers inhabited by a bird, a fox and a butterfly to the lid, similarly decorated to the sides and base, the reeded silver rim-mounts with charge and discharge marks for Antoine Leschaudel, Paris, 1744-50, also with French ‘swan’ control marks 8.5cm long Traditionally all enamel boxes with encrusted gold-foil decoration have been catalogued as German, often particularly attributed to the Fromery Workshop of Berlin. Given that quite a number of these unsigned boxes have French silver mounts, such an attribution is now questioned. Since no suitable French enamelling workshops have been identified to date however, it has been suggested that these boxes may have been made without mounts in Germany, for import by French marchandsmerciers, who would have had the silver mounts fitted in Paris.

For further discussion on the subject, see the entry on a box at The Metropolitan Museum, New York, Accession No.1975.1.1551. Also see Bonhams, London, 5 June 2013, lot 59, for two similarly decorated boxes with French mounts.

581 581 BELLE EPOCH DEMANTOID AND DIAMOND PENDANT, 1890s the cushion-shaped demantoid garnet millegrain set between bow and swag decoration suspending an articulated pendant surmounted by knife wire and collet set diamonds to a bow motif set throughout with rose and circular cut stones length 50mm approximately Demantoid is a green gemstone sub-variety of the mineral andradite, the most valuable of the garnet group of minerals. Fine specimens are exceedingly hard to obtain and are increasingly costly.

The first demantoid garnet was discovered in the mid-19th century in Russia’s Ural Mountains. Miners were immediately struck by the highly refractive nature of the gem and its exceptional fire. They compared it to diamond, possibly thinking the flashing green colour resembled the eyes of demons, hence supposedly the name. Very popular in Russia, they were often used by Carl Fabergé in his jewellery. The stones have characteristic inclusions of fine asbestos fibres (chrysotile). These fibres radiate out from small crystals of chromite. They are referred to as ‘horsetail’ inclusions and are diagnostic, as no other green stones have these inclusions. This stone is mounted in a brooch from the late 19th century, which makes it highly likely that it is in its original setting. Although the gemstone has low hardness, this stone is relatively unmarked; additionally demantoids are generally small, so a stone of this size is very rare. £3000-4000

Matthew Barton Ltd’s Authenticity Guarantee If the Auctioneers sell an item of Property which is later shown to be a “Counterfeit”, subject to the terms below the Auctioneers will rescind the sale and refund the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to the Auctioneers for that Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price.

The Guarantee lasts for one (1) year after the date of the relevant auction, is for the benefit of the Buyer only and is non-transferable.

“Counterfeit” means an item of Property that in the Auctioneers reasonable opinion is an imitation created with the intent to deceive over the authorship, origin, date, age, period, culture or source, where the correct description of such matters is not included in the catalogue description for the Property.

Property shall not be considered Counterfeit solely because of any damage and/or restoration and/or modification work (including, but not limited to, recolouring, tooling or repatinating).

Please note that this Guarantee does not apply if either:(i) the catalogue description was in accordance with the generally accepted opinions of scholars and experts at the date of the sale, or the catalogue description indicated that there was a conflict of such opinions; or (ii) the only method of establishing at the date of the sale that the item was a Counterfeit would have been by means of processes not then generally available or accepted, unreasonably expensive or impractical; or likely to have caused damage to or loss in value to the Property (in the Auctioneers reasonable opinion); or

(iii) there has been no material loss in value of the Property from its value had it accorded with its catalogue description.

To claim under this Guarantee, the Buyer must:(i) notify the Auctioneers in writing within one (1) month of receiving any information that causes the Buyer to question the authenticity or attribution of the Property, specifying the lot number, date of the auction at which it was purchased and the reasons why it is believed to be Counterfeit; and (ii) return the Property to the Auctioneers in the same condition as at the date of sale and be able to transfer good title in the Property, free from any third party claims arising after the date of the sale.

The Auctioneers have discretion to waive any of the above requirements. The Auctioneers may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer’s cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the relevant field and that are acceptable to the Auctioneers. The Auctioneers shall not be bound by any reports produced by the Buyer, and reserves the right to seek additional expert advice at its own expense. In the event the Auctioneers decides to rescind the sale under this Guarantee, it may refund to the Buyer the reasonable costs of up to two mutually approved independent expert reports, provided always that the costs of such reports have been approved in advance and in writing by the Auctioneers.
