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.

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 symwbol ‘‡’ 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.

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.

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.

The site of the famous mosque-cathedral of Cordoba is thought to have been constructed originally as a Christian church and, after the Umayyad invasion in the 8th century, shared

by Christians and Muslims, in much the same way as the Great Mosque in Damascus. After a few decades, however, it became a wholly Muslim building and was fully rebuilt as a mosque. Thus it remained until 1236 when it was turned back into a Church, and the nave was added three centuries later.

Charles Clifford lived and worked in Spain for much of his life.

His subjects included landscapes and portraits of royalty. For another print of this scene in the Victoria and Albert Museum, see inv. no. 35581

ISLAMIC TILES: PROPERTY OF A EUROPEAN COLLECTOR (Lots 242-282) ‘‘This collection of Islamic tiles has been amassed over a decade or so starting in 1996 and was until recently displayed in the owners’ delightful Georgian town house in central London. The majority are Ottoman Damascus tiles and form a comprehensive selection of designs produced from the mid-16th to early 18th centuries. Others in the collection include Safavid cuerda seca and Iznik examples. All were acquired from auctions and well-known antique dealers in London and Paris. I have known the collection well for many years, as it played an important role in providing some of the illustrations in my book*.’’

An interesting feature of this tile is on the left edge, where the artist has tested his brush with the cobalt and manganese oxides. The rounded edges of the glaze on each side suggest that this tile was made as a rectangle, and not as a square, subsequently reduced. £1000-1500

Provenance: Amir Mohtashemi, London, 29 September 2001 This design, so called because it is closely modelled on Iznik prototypes in the Piyale Pasa Mosque in Istanbul (1573), is also seen in the Arab Hall at Leighton House. The Leighton House tiles were in turn copied by William de Morgan and installed in a house in Kent, probably in the 1880s. See ‘Damascus Tiles’, pp.270-271, and fig. 5.8, p.221. £5000-8000

67

278 A PANEL OF FOUR DAMASCUS TILES, OTTOMAN SYRIA, 17TH CENTURY glazed fritware, underglaze painted with a cruciform split palmette and lotus design around a central floral star, framed 40cm square (together) Provenance: Alexis Renard, Paris, 14 June 2005 (a copy of the invoice is sold with this lot) Tiles of this design can be seen in the mausoleum of Mohi al-Din Arabi in Salihiyya, Damascus, and a very similar tile, but without the green is in the Church of St. James, in Jerusalem. Several others feature in museums and collections, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no.

506 to B-1900) and the Robert Mouawad Museum in Beirut. As a self contained design, these tiles were versatile and probably produced for stock, to be used in a variety of settings. See Damascus Tiles, fig. 4.60, p.168. £3000-4000

There are also near-identical tiles in the Ramanazoglu Mosque, Adana (Turkey). See Damascus Tiles, fig. 4.74, p. 182; 4.85, p.189; fig. 4.105, p.205 £2000-3000

280 A PANEL OF THREE DAMASCUS TILES, OTTOMAN SYRIA, LATE 16TH CENTURY glazed fritware, underglaze painted with a lobed medallion design, with stylised floral motifs emanating from a central rosette, framed together 76.5 x 25cm Provenance: Alexis Renard, Paris, 14 June 2005 (A copy of the invoice is sold with this lot) This Damascus design is very closely modelled on an Iznik prototype, and was produced in several variations of colour scheme. See Damascus Tiles, fig.6.66-69, p.272-3. £2500-3500

281 A DAMASCUS TILE PANEL, OTTOMAN SYRIA, CIRCA 1600 glazed fritware, composed of eight tiles, underglaze painted with an inscribed cartouche, surrounded by interlocking split palmette border, with arabesque spandrels at either end, framed together 87 x 28cm Provenance: Amir Mohtashemi, London, 7 June 2001.

282 PART OF A DAMASCUS TILE PANEL DEPICTING A GARDEN PAVILION, OTTOMAN SYRIA, CIRCA 1600 glazed fritware, comprising seventeen tiles and tile fragments, the building with window grilles, fountain and front steps, amidst verdant floral and fern decoration, surrounded by a border of interlocking leaf motifs 99 x 96cm approx. (together) Provenance: Gros & Delettrez, Paris, 21 June 2010, lot 162; Bonhams, Oxford, 28 November 2012, lot 379 This panel is thought to have been installed in a house in France, where it was overpainted to make a more complete composition. The subject matter is very rare and indicates the sort of designs which were commissioned for private houses in

the Old City of Damascus. Today, only religious buildings retain their Ottoman tiles, but it is clear from 19th century travellers’ accounts that many private houses had been decorated with tiles. The closest parallels to this panel are to be found in Leighton House; Frederic Leighton is known to have purchased many of his tiles directly from owners of Damascus houses.

A panel at the back of the Arab Hall not only depicts ponds, fountains and various animals, but also what may be the only example of a human figure in a Damascus tile. (Damascus Tiles, fig. 5.13, p. 227) ÂŁ2000-3000

A number of versions exist, in particular as the centrepiece of the Chapel of Lo Spasimo, part of the Holy Mount at the monastery of San Vivaldo in Tuscany, in large format painted terracotta. A version of similar size to the present lot, with traces of paint, is held by the Princeton University Art Museum (No.y1937-269), as well as another cold painted version in the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest (No.84.23), one offered at Semenzato, Venice, 5 October 2006, lot 155, as well as a version at the ‘Legne Chapel’ at the Cappuccina in San Gimignano. £800-1200

Anthony Paton Hawksley (1921-1991) trained at the Maidstone School of Art and the Royal College of Art. His work is represented in The Pearson Silver Collection, the Victoria and Albert Museum and many Oxford colleges. This cup (or bowl) was probably retailed by Payne & Son of Oxford, with whom Hawksley enjoyed a long association. At this date Hawksley was producing silver from his home-based workshop at Great Rollright in north Oxfordshire. He began experimenting with acid etching on silver in the early 70s; each piece he made for a large commission for Wolfson College features this decoration.

387 A GEORGE III SILVER BASKET, ROBERT HENNELL, LONDON, 1777 in Neo-classical taste, oval, centrally engraved with a coat of arms, the everted rim applied with foliate Vitruvian scrollwork on a matted ground interrupted by ram and lion masks, the pale pierced sides chased with ribbon-tied husk swags, the swing handle with further husks centred by a vacant oval, the short spreading pedestal foot pierced and chased, with beaded borders throughout 36cm long, 1518gr (48oz 16dwt) The arms are those of Blackwell of Sprowston, County Norfolk.

Although predominantly known for sheet silver teapots and the like, as well as relatively light-weight baskets, wine coasters, etc., this basket shows Hennell’s workshop was also capable of producing heavy gauge and highly fashionable silver for the very top end of the market. Interestingly Hennell used the same running border on a matted ground on a similarly high quality piece, an epergne of 1781, sold Sotheby’s, London, 22 March 1978, lot 105. £3000-4000 388 A GEORGE III SILVER SALVER, PROBABLY LEWIS HERNE, LONDON 1766 engraved with a coat of arms within crossed foliate sprays, the border openwork cast with beaded scrolls and foliage, on four openwork shell and foliate scroll panel feet, underside with engraved with a crest and scratch weight ‘46 / oz / = 3 / dwt’ 36.5cm diameter, 1464gr (47oz) The maker’s mark of a scrolling ‘LH’ (Grimwade No.3719) is usually ascribed to Louis Hamon or Lewis Herne. Given that a number of salvers with cast openwork borders may be found (see Christie’s, London, 20 March 2011, lot 190 or Doyle, New York, 23 October 2003, lot 395), maker’s mark of Lewis Herne & Francis Butty, from which partnership Lewis Herne ‘absconded’ in 1765, it seems most likely that it is Herne’s mark on this salver. £1500-2000

424 AN ITALIAN SARDONYX CAMEO OF OMPHALE, PROBABLY ROMAN CIRCA 1810-20 carved in relief through the brown band of the floral headband and the attribute of Hercules’ Nemean lion on her shoulder to the white of the young woman’s dexter profile, hair and draped shoulders against the almost black oval base, 38 x 28mm, perhaps later set in an unmarked gold brooch mount with a band of pearls between a corded border and a scalloped milled rim, 49 x 37mm Provenance: The Estate of Mrs Harriet Bull Pitman (nee Brown, 1922-2019), of the ‘Brown-Goodwin’ House in Marblehead Old Town, Massachusetts. The house was purchased in 1832 by William Peach Brown (1780-1838), son of Captain John Brown, a privateer during the American Revolution. It remained in the Brown family for six succeeding generations.

Omphale, a Lydian queen, became the wife of Hercules. Following advice from the oracle at Delphi, the hero was enslaved in recompense for the slaying of Iphitos; purchased by Omphale, his strength and beauty resulted in their marriage upon his release.

The hairstyle with floral headband and strongly Neo-classical profile of this cameo bear close affinities with the ‘Ideal Head’ of Antonio Canova (1757-1822), presented by the sculptor to the Duke of Wellington, which arrived in England in 1818. One of four ‘Ideal Heads’ epitomising female beauty, the bust at Apsley House also resembles the head and hairstyle of Canova’s ‘Dancer’, commissioned

by Josephine Bonaparte and now at the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.

The quality of carving displayed by the present cameo was undoubtedly carried out by a master of the glyptic arts; for comparisons with signed works by Nicolo Morelli (1771-1838), renowned for his work for Napoleon and the Bonaparte family, see Bonhams, London, 12 Nov 2020, lot 12, similarly brooch-set with pearls.

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.
