Olympia Auctions are not responsible for delays in delivery which might be caused by shippers or local customs.

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.

He arrived in Rio during the fractious times of the Regency, following Pedro I’s abrupt abdication, although growing stability in the country was established after Pedro II’s coronation in 1841. The eldest son of Admiral Hamilton of Fir Hill, Droxford, Hants, he married in 1836 Maria-Susanna Robinson, the daughter of General Sir FrederickPhilipse Robinson. John Pascoe Grenfell (1800-1869) led an adventurous life, becoming an Admiral of the Imperial Brazilian Navy, but starting his career in the East India Company aged eleven. Following several trips to India, in 1819 he went to Chile under Lord Cochrane and took part in most of Cochrane’s exploits during the Chilean War of Independence (1819-23). In 1823 he accompanied Cochrane to the Brazilian War of Independence, as commander, losing his right arm in action off Buenos Aires in July 1826. After a year recuperating in England, he returned to pursue a successful career in the Brazilian service, promoted to Rear-Admiral in 1841. The present coffee pot marks his return to England in 1846 to become Brazilian consul-general, residing in Liverpool. The outbreak of war between Brazil and Argentina in 1851 saw him back in South America commanding the Emperor’s navy, but in 1852, having become a full Admiral, he came back to Liverpool, to resume his consular duties until his death. In 1821 he had married María Dolores Masini (1807-1860) and he left eight children, a further two having died in infancy. £800-1200

257 A VICTORIAN GOLD CAGE-WORK COVERED SCENT BOTTLE, LONDON, CIRCA 1875 the ovoid thick walled clear body covered in gold leafy tendrils and shaped straps framing a relief to either side of Mercury Bringing Pandora to Earth after John Flaxman, the gold neck-mount with pushpiece springing open the bulbous lid of applied straps below a figure of kneeling Venus, the interior with sprung glass cover, unmarked 11cm long John Flaxman (1755-1826) was apparently very fond of the subject of Mercury and Pandora, returning to it on several occasions throughout his career. Jupiter, in revenge for Prometheus’s gift of fire to humans, has the gods fashion the beautiful but mortal Pandora. In this scene we see Pandora earthbound, bourn by Mercury, to marry Epimethus, Prometheus’s foolish brother. Jupiter knew that it would not be long before she was unable to resist opening the woeful box she had been given by the gods. Flaxman’s first treatment of her journey from the heavens was a plaster relief, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1805 and now at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek in Copenhagen. Other plaster versions may be seen at the Soane Museum and at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Perhaps less recognised today, the image was tremendously popular in the 19th century, also seen on medals, prints and cameos. £2000-3000

The start of the chapter illustrating this egg (p.304, ibid), titled ‘Jewelled Surprise Eggs, Clocks, Objets d’Art’, quotes Kenneth Snowman’s catalogue introduction to the Devlin exhibition at Collingwood’s in 1972: “Paying a visit to Stuart Devlin in his Clerkenwell enfilade of workshops, one immediately senses that here is no amateur performing the latest fashionable tricks for a limited coterie of sycophants, but a serious silversmith who is single-mindedly devoting himself to the designing and creation of objects of worth which will be regarded with respect by future generations...” After noting the inevitable comparison with Fabergé and his Easter eggs, Snowman continues: “here is a young builder in precious metals and stones who... looks only ahead and whose gaze is evidently never far away from the contemporary scene. Whereas Fabergé often quite deliberately glanced back in his superb pastiches of earlier manners, Devlin is wholly a man of his own time.”

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.
