The David Redman Collection
A graduate of Staffordshire University with a BA (Hons) in design history, David Redman has enjoyed a remarkable career in designing jewellery and glass for the luxury goods market. David has established an international reputation within the industry and retail sector and is cited in numerous books on glass design. An innovative designer, particularity in the development of coloured glass, David views design as a collaboration between designer and craftsman, and this profoundly influences his design philosophy. David started his career at a Bond Street jeweller and silversmith; but left in 1987 to set up his own company, designing gold, silver-gilt and enamel cufflinks for high-end retailers and international brands such as Armani, Bulgari and Tiffany. In 2005, David Redman Limited was launched. The firm designs and develops crystal products for the luxury market, and is sold at only the most exclusive of retailers. The business has built successful collaborative relationships with its clients who include Mappin & Webb, Asprey & Garrard, Linley and Penhaligon’s. David Redman Limited believes in designing and developing iconic pieces for the discerning consumer using both traditional and modern techniques of artisanship. They combine the craft of the silversmith and the skill of the glassmakers to create the David Redman Collection, and it is this approach to mixing superior materials which differentiates their collection. As well as David’s own collection of works of art, three David Redman drinking sets are offered in the sale, all handmade, crafted with mouth-blown glass and hand cut, with sterling silver mounts. David’s highly developed aesthetic taste and appreciation of quality workmanship is evident in the fine antiques and works of art that he chose to furnish his home. With an emphasis on French Louis XV and Louis XVI style pieces, his interiors exuded a sense of refined elegance with a touch of opulence to create a unique modern style.

This ornate urn is a direct copy of an urn cassolette made by Pierre Gouthiere for the Duc d’Aumont in 1775. Gouthiere’s urn grew in fame throughout the late 18th century after it was purchased by King Louis XVI in 1782, and by 1793 the piece was placed in the Louvre. During the first quarter of the 19th century it was in the Tuilleries Palace before being moved to the State Apartments in 1826. Paul Sormani is known to have produced a number of copies of this 18th century urn, and although unsigned, the quality of the gilt bronze mounts of the present example, with their fine chasing indicate that this urn was produced by a Parisian bronzier of the highest calibre. Sormani’s exhibit at the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1867 was described in the catalogue as ‘toute sa production révèle une qualité d’exécution de tout premier ordre’ (all of his production reveals a quality of execution all of the first order’). Sormani exhibited at most of the International Exhibitions, including the London 1862 exhibition and the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1849, 1855, 1867, 1878, 1900. £2,000-£3,000 18 A PAIR OF LATE 19TH CENTURY FRENCH GILT BRONZE CANDELABRA IN THE MANNER OF MEISSONIER the baluster stems cast with cartouches and issuine three scrolling, foliate branches terminating in leafy collars and asymmetric nozzles, each centred by a sprig of lilies, raised on circular bases decorated with rocailles, C scrolls and butterflies and bees, 45cm high (2) £500-£800 19 AN EARLY 19TH CENTURY FRENCH ROSEWOOD, TULIPWOOD, GILT BRONZE MOUNTED AND MARBLE TOPPED SERPENTINE CHEST OF DRAWERS with two short and three long drawers, with Rococo style scrolling handles decorated with C scrolls and rocailles, with pierced escutcheons, the front legs with cartouche and acanthus cast mounts, 87cm high x 123.5cm wide x 57cm deep £2,000-£3,000

The three works featured in The First Exhibition in America of Sculpture by Medardo Rosso at the Peridot Gallery and are all in the exhibition catalogue, a copy is included in the sale along with the original invoice and a letter from Clotilde Longoni Rosso authenticating the work. The present wax head is illustrated in Margaret Scolari Barr’s seminal work ‘Medardo Rosso’, (Metropolitan Museum of Art) on page 33, and a photograph of the ‘Bookmaker’ featured on the front cover. Barr describes the head thus: “Certainly the ‘Little Girl Laughing’ is a work that “everyone can understand”. The way versions are so shiny they suggest a child’s face well scrubbed. The principle of the single point of view, so obvious in the Rouart, is abandoned. The head stands free and can be seen from three sides. Even the back, though summarily treated, does not deny the volume of the skull.” It is only in relatively recent years that scholarly research has shown that some of the sculptures thought to have been lifetime casts made by the artist were in fact authorised casts made legally after his death by his son Francesco, from the sculptor’s original plaster models. Dr Sharon Hecker’s fascinating article ‘The afterlife of sculptures: posthumous casts and the case of Medardo Rosso’ (Journal of Art Historiography Number 16 June 2017) discusses this in some depth, and uses the wax sculpture ‘Grande Riseuse’ in the Tate Gallery (inv. No. T04846) as her main example. ‘Grande Riseuse’ was thought to be a lifetime cast and had provenance going back to the Rosso family in the 1960’s, but following examination by Luciano Caramel, an Italian expert on Rosso and by the then-Chief Conservator of Sculpture, Derek Pullen in 1989; it is now considered to be a posthumous cast. In recent years, Paola Mola and Fabio Vittucci’s scholarly work on the sculptor’s oeuvre has validated these concerns, and in their 2007 catalogue raisonnée they divided the known works into those that had lifetime provenance and those that were undocumented or thought to have been cast by Francesco Rosso, as listed at the start of this footnote. Dr Hecker states in her article “Rosso’s materials, casting processes, and his ideas about his legacy are not fully understood. Whereas the art market and the law demand from experts a clear answer to the question of authenticity and attribution, I believe that Rosso’s case cannot be limited to a binary question, ‘whether a work is genuine or fake, either by the artist in question or not by him’. A more nuanced approach is necessary.” (p2. Opp. Cit.) 1959 Exhibition Catalogue

Other posthumous casts of Rosso’s works feature in museums throughout the world, for example the wax head ‘Ecce Puer’ (Behold the Boy) now in the Hirschhorn, Washington (inv. No. 66.4411), and the other ‘Bambina Ridente’ casts that are in the Civica Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Milan, and the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm.

The story of ‘Bambina Ridente’ begins in the Parisian Hôpital Lariboisière in 1889. The sculptor Medardo Rosso, having recently arrived from Milan and exhibited at the Exposition Universelle, is admitted to hospital, with a high fever; and upon his discharge, produces a portrait of the daughter of the hospital bursar, Marie-Jacques Enjolras. We know that it was an important sculpture for Rosso, he cast it in wax, bronze and even donated a cast to the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome in 1913, but like much of Rosso’s oeuvre, the work functions on many different levels, and poses as many questions about his original meaning and motivations as it answers. This enigmatic work expresses a range of oppositional absolutes simultaneously, in a number of complex ways, and forms an important part of Rosso’s experimental artistic project to create a new aesthetic language which represented modern themes and cut the ties that bound sculpture to the Italian Renaissance and classical antiquity of the past. His motivation for making the work is still not fully understood, we do not know if he produced the portrait in order to pay his hospital fees, and as a commission, had to present the girl in a particular manner, or if he simply produced it as a gift, or whether he used the girl as a source of inspiration to transmit his own ideas. Some scholars have interpreted ‘Bambina Ridente’ as a conventional portrait, as a return to more lifelike representation by the sculptor, rejecting his earlier increasingly abstract style, and as a reinterpretation of the Renaissance heads of children made by Desiderio da Settignano and Leonardo da Vinci. Other scholars such as Dr Sharon Hecker believe the sculpture must be read in a more nuanced way, and that the artist’s choice of wax, his impressionist modelling of the head and treatment of the surface are an attempt to express other, more complicated themes. The most obvious of these themes is those of life and death. The head on one level depicts a young girl laughing and reminds us of the joy of youth, of un-inhibited expression, of the innocence of childhood and yet these ideas are subverted by the connotations of death that are also presented. The use of wax is important in this respect, as it is a reminder of death masks, in use widely in the 19th century and earlier (for example the mask known as ‘L'Inconnue de la Seine’ which was made by a morgue worker of an unidentified young woman who had drowned in the late 1880’s in Paris, and was widely copied and admired). Wax had been used in the funeral effigies of king and queens, for example those now on display in Westminster Abbey, and of course in the life-less figures displayed in Madame Tussaud’s, opened in 1835. Let us not forget that Rosso modelled the work after his stay in hospital, surrounded by sickness and death, and some scholars have viewed his interest in the depiction of children as a condition of ‘marginality, alienation and illness’. (Dr. Hecker, ‘A Moment’s Monument’, p.134, opp. cit.). The head therefore conveys the opposing emotions of joy and anxiety, and this, Dr Hecker argues, disrupts the emotional connection between the viewer and the work, evoking confusion and ambiguity. The eyes are an important feature in this process of disruption, as the viewer we automatically seek to meet the sitter’s gaze, and yet are met by blank, blind eyes that are ghostly and haunting. This helps to create a kind of melting vision, a fleeting moment rather than of a lifelike depiction. The use of wax in some casts also gives the sculpture a feeling of fragility, wax is much more likely to decay and decompose, to melt like a candle or shatter than the typical materials used by other sculptors that suggest permanence and longevity such as bronze or marble. Rosso again rejects the artistic tradition of the Renaissance and Antiquity by employing a material thought of as unsuitable for finished sculptures. Wax was commonly used by sculptors but mostly in the casting process (or as a material for modelling), the wax model is destroyed during the lost wax casting process to produce the final, finished bronze. Rosso subverts these rules about the proper way to make important sculpture by producing wax sculptures to be appreciated in their own right. He often used wax as it allowed the visualizations of process that were part of his modern artistic expression. In some casts, he left casting flaws such as seams and air bubbles on the wax surface to act as ‘authorial signs’, these markings thus become part of the finished work. This emotive and small-scale wax sculpture, an anti-heroic depiction of an innocent child, manages to express some of the most monumental themes of the human condition, joy, anxiety, death, the creation of life and the creation of art.

158 158 LOJZE DOLINAR (1893-1970): A LARGE BRONZE BUST OF JOSIP BROZ, GENERAL TITO DATED 1948 signed to one side ‘DOLINAR 1948’ and inscribed to the other in Serbian cyrillic ‘PLASTICA BEOGRAD’, 80cm wide x 60cm high Provenance: By repute, at the Yugoslav Embassy until the disintegration of Yugoslavia. The Embassy donated the bust to the Yugoslav Club in London, the present owners acquired the bust upon it’s closure. Lojze Dolinar is now widely considered to be one of the most important Slovenian sculptors of the 20th century. He studied at the Viennese academy under Professor Mullner and then furthered his studies in 1912 in Munich. By 1920 he was studying in New York under Hoffman and upon his return to Europe he built a reputation for designing and producing public monumental sculpture. For example the memorial to Dr. Janez Evangelist Krek, two Calvary monuments in Ljubljana, and the monument of fallen student-soldiers in Skopje. In 1946 he joined the Belgrade Fine Arts Academy, and produced this bust the year after, before gaining a professorship in 1949. This bronze is typical of his style which unites the realistic depiction of the sitter with a modernist treatment of the surface. £800-£1,200 159 AN EARLY 20TH CENTURY BRONZE HEAD OF A MAN IN THE CLASSICAL TASTE the mask type bronze with curling hair, the back recessed, raised on a rectangular marble plinth, unsigned, 34.5cm high overall £200-£300 159

It was illustrated in the ‘Jutsham’ pictorial Inventory of Carlton House, 1827-33 (RCIN 934831) and noted as being supplied by ‘Dupasquier’ (see H. Clifford Smith, Buckingham Palace, London, 1931, p. 203 and pl. 236). A very similar inkstand to the burr yew example, with mounts attributed to Alexis Decaix, sold Christie’s, London ‘The Humphrey Whitbread Collection’, 5 April 2001, lot 384, £52,875.

213 JEAN EUGENE ROBERT HOUDIN (FRENCH, 1805-1871): AN EXCEPTIONAL MID 19TH CENTURY GILT BRONZE AND GLASS MYSTERY CLOCK the gilt bronze case designed in the Renaissance Revival style, of architectural form with an arch enclosing a relief with two Bacchic putti flanked by a pair of solomonic columns over volute scroll feet, the centre with a figure of a winged putto holding a torch, supporting a knopped column issuing a pair of griffin mounts below the gilt bezel, the 4.75” glass dial with Roman numerals, signed ‘ROBERT-HOUDIN PARIS’, with gilt arrow hand, the movement with silk suspension and outside countwheel striking on a bell, signed ‘HOUDIN’, with pendulum, 50cm high
In 1839 Houdin exhibited some of his mystery clocks at the Exhibition of French Industry, and won a bronze medal. By the 1840’s he was also producing automaton, one of which won him the silver medal at a National Industrial Exhibition in 1844. This resulted in specific commissions for such pieces from conjurers and other showmen such as Phineas Barnum, who toured the world with Houdin’s machine for twenty years. This success helped to introduce him to the world of magic and conjuring, and by 1845 he had fulfilled a childhood dream and opened his own theatre show at the Palais Royal ‘Les Soirees Fantastiques Robert - Houdin’. His show was unique in that it incorporated traditional conjuring tricks with his own automatons to create magical effect. It proved to be immensely popular, so much so that by the 1850’s he was performing private shows for Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace. His clocks, automatons and other inventions became world famous, and he is now widely considered to be not only the inventor of the first mystery clocks but also perhaps more importantly, the father of modern magic and conjuring.
The clock is in working order but not fully tested or guaranteed. Jean Eugene Robert was born in Blois, near Paris, which had been a centre for clock and watchmaking for centuries; his father was a watchmaker and so naturally he began his career also in this trade. In 1830 he married Eglantine Houdin, the daughter of Jacques Houdin, a prestigious horologist who had studied under arguably the greatest watchmaker of all time, the great Breguet. Jacques Houdin had a shop in Paris which specialised in precision instruments, and the young Jean Eugene Robert was so impressed by his father-inlaw’s work that after the marriage he took his name and became Robert Houdin. In 1831 Robert Houdin began to develop the first mystery clocks, and between 1831 and 1844 he produced five distinct types, all functioning in slightly different ways and for different effect. When one of these mystery clocks was exhibited in London in 1838, it is said spectators were amazed and could not work out how the hand moved, many speculating that the clock was driven with magnetism.
It has been said that every magician of the 20th century is haunted by Robert Houdin, his techniques and showmanship casting a shadow over all future conjurers. In fact, the famous Harry Houdini was so in awe of Houdin that he changed his name from Ehrich Weiss to Harry Houdini in homage to the great master, for he erroneously believed that adding an ‘I’ to the end of a name meant ‘like’ in French. Related Literature: Derek Roberts, Mystery, Novelty & Fantasy Clocks, pp 225-226. A square dial mystery clock by Houdin was sold at Chiswick Auctions, £20,700, 21 March 2017, lot 516. £10,000-£15,000

216 A RARE THIRD QUARTER 19TH CENTURY STERLING SILVER CASED EIGHT DAY MANTEL CHRONOMETER SIGNED PARKINSON & FRODSHAM, HALLMARKED FOR ELKINGTON & CO. 1872 the solid silver case of architectural form, with egg and dart cornice and foliate border over a plinth base, the base with hallmarks for sterling silver, Birmingham 1872, Elkington & Co., and inscribed and dated 1872, the case engraved with anthemions to the corners, the silver dial indistinctly signed ‘Parkinson & Frodsham... ‘ now rubbed, with Roman numerals, with subsidiary dial for running seconds, the power reserve sector marked 0-8, the 8 day fusee chain movement with chequered pattern to the plate signed ‘Parkinson & Frodsham Change Alley London’, with spring detent escapement and balance to a helical spring, with original winder stamped ‘’Primavesi Brothers, Bournemouth’, 26cm high x 18.5cm wide Currently in working order but not fully tested or guaranteed. Provenance: This exceptional chronometer is particularly rare because it features the maker’s signature on the movement and also on the dial. It was almost certainly produced as a specific commission from the King Edward School, Birmingham, as a retirement gift to the headmaster, Reverend Charles Evans, M.A. The commission itself is interesting as it is a particularly fine gift for a Head Master, however the recent history of the school gives us an indication as to why; for the school had employed the renowned architect Charles Barry to re-design the buildings, and none other than Pugin to re-model the interior. (In fact this is where Barry and Pugin first became acquainted). Charles Barry had already designed numerous important buildings by this time, such as the Manchester Art Gallery and the Traveller’s Club, Pall Mall, and later in his career he designed the Houses of Parliament. There was, therefore, a tradition of employing the best designers of the day at the school, and so it is little wonder that the prestigious makers Elkington and Parkinson & Frodsham were selected to produce this important presentation gift. For here is a timepiece of the upmost accuracy, in the finest quality case and by the foremost craftsmen in the country, made in a style that echoed that of the school buildings.
(detail) The solid silver case is inscribed ‘PRESENTED BY THE TEACHERS AND SCHOLARS OF KING EDWARD THE SIXTH’S ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS TO THE REVD. CHARLES EVANS, M.A. ON HIS RETIREMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF HEAD MASTER OF THE FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL, BIRMINGHAM, JULY 12 1872’. The silver case is also hallmarked for the same year. The stamp on the purpose made winder relates to Primavesi Brothers, 155 High St, Bournemouth “from Geneva, established 1850”, they advertised themselves as Watch Manufacturers, Jewellers, Gold and Silversmiths, and also notably, as chronometer retailers. They were also an important retailer of High Victorian Aesthetic and Arts & Craft movement designs. The famous firm of Parkinson and Frodsham was founded in about 1800 by William Parkinson and W. J. Frodsham, both admitted to the Clockmakers Company in 1802. They traded at 4 Change Alley, London and later from 1891 at 16 Queen Victoria Street, at 35 Royal Exchange in 1893-5, 15B Royal Exchange in 1896-1905 and 5 Budge Row from 1906 to 1947. Their name is synonymous with excellence and accuracy, they produced marine and pocket chronometers of the very highest order, exporting them internationally to shipping companies and selling them to the Admiralty. £8,000-£12,000 87

Raingo Freres were widely considered to be one of the finest horologist firms during that period and so the combination of these two greats in one clock is a rare find.
