He was the first to design the American-type ‘lyre’ clocks and was the last to use mahogany ‘banjo’ type cases, of which our clock is a perfect example. He continued to be listed in Boston city directories as a clockmaker working at 815 Washington Street until 1848/9 and retired in 1850. Auction Comparable: See Sotheby’s, New York, 17 January 2004, lot 1129 for a banjo-cased wall clock with verre eglomise decoration by Aaron Willard, sold for $51,000. Museum Comparable: A banjo clock by Aaron Willard, Jr. with an églomisé panel depicting Aurora is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Related Literature: G.H. Baillie, ‘Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World’, Ronald E. Rose, ‘English Dial Clocks’, Antique Collector’s Club, 1978. Tavern Clock History As a result of an Act passed by the English Parliament in 1797 tavern clocks were hung in many pubs and taverns throughout the country. The act declared that a tax would be collected on every clock in the realm, and as a result, many private clock owners either hid their clocks or got rid of them, and so had to visit the tavern to obtain the correct time. These clocks were usually of plain functional design, with large faces that were easy to read. £2,000-£3,000

Darken & J. Hooper, ‘English 30 Hour Clocks’ illustrates this clock on p277-80 figs. 5/29 to 5/32 J. Darken, ‘Time & Place, English Country Clocks 1600-1840’ an exhibit 54 pages 180-1 (where the movement of this clock is extensively illustrated).

Provenance: This clock has been in the same English family for at least eighty years. The closest comparable to this exceptional clock is another clock made by Grohe in the mid 19th century which is of very similar design, large size and also features a triple chain fusee movement, and is numbered 2449. Number 2449 was sold at Christie's, London, the Collection of Dr. Eugene & Rose Antelis, 10 June, 1998, lot 114, where it realised £56,500 and was described thus "This clock is one of the most important examples of glazed mantel clocks commonly known as four glass clocks. The individual who ordered this clock must have specified that no refinement should be spared. The dial, the movement, the case and the travelling box are all of the very best quality whilst its large and handsome proportions leave no doubt in the mind that it would have required a very deep pocket indeed to have bought this clock". It was subsequently sold again at Christie's, London, Magnificent Clocks, 15 September 2004, lot 28 for £47,800. Importantly, both the present clock and no. 2449 both retain their original rosewood carrying cases with Bramah locks, and their original winders. No. 2449 is slightly larger in size as it features gilt brass, adjustable feet unlike the present clock. £20,000-£30,000

106 A COLLECTION OF REPOUSSE SILVER RELIEFS, POSSIBLY 16TH CENTURY, LATER MOUNTED ON A 19TH CENTURY CASKET the 16th century silver reliefs depicting Juno and her peacock within an egg and dart border to the top, flanked by borders of scroll work, putti, urns and foliage, the back also with a relief of Juno and the peacock flanked by a scrolling acanthus border and flanked by a pair of female figures with baskets atop their heads, the front panel depicting Venus and Cupid within an acanthus border and with an escutcheon modelled as a pair of putti, similarly flanked by female figures, the left side with Venus and Cupid and Apollo and his lyre, the right side with Venus and Cupid and Saturn with a scythe within a guilloche border, the 19th century calamander casket with yellow silk lined interior, 37cm wide x 17cm high x 29cm deep Provenance: Purchased from the auction of the Collection of Baron de Sellieres at Chateau de Melot, France. £2,000-£3,000
107 PROBABLY GENOESE, 16TH OR 17TH CENTURY: A SLATE LINTEL PANEL WITH A ROMAN EMPEROR IN PROFILE flanked by two vase-ornaments, 200cm wide x 58cm high x 3cm deep With thanks to Dr Charles Avery for his assistance with cataloguing this lot. Portals in Genoa in the late 15th and early 16th centuries were frequently carved with over-door panels depicting St George, patron saint of the city, or the Annunciation, or the Holy Monogram, IHS, beginning with Giovanni Gaggini in a late gothic style and gradually evolving into the Renaissance (almost half a century later than what had happened in Florence). Two whole portals, magnificent in conception and in a fully Renaissance style carved in slate by Giovanni Gaggini, one of 1472 with an Annunciation, and the other of 1480 with the Resurrection, and three separate panels of St George and the Annunciation, are to be seen in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Others are still to be found in situ in Genoa,
52
notably on the Doria Palace, and in museums world-wide. Initially the portals tended to be overladen with rich – albeit Renaissance detailing, but later on, in the hands of Gian Giacomo della Porta, some simplification took place, leading towards a more austere rendering of classical Roman architecture. The present panel may well be an example of this stylistic shift.

157 FRANCO-FLEMISH, c.1640, PERHAPS BY THE YOUNG GERARD VAN OPSTAL (1605-1668): AN OVAL MARBLE RELIEF OF THE VIRGIN SUCKLING THE CHILD attended by Joseph and the infant St john the Baptist, with his reed- cross and symbolic lamb, mounted in a later oval giltwood frame, the marble 30cm wide x 22cm high With thanks to Dr Charles Avery for his assistance with cataloguing this lot. Comparative Literature: G. Bresc-Bautier / I. Leroy-Jay Lemaistre / Guilhem Scherf, Musée du Louvre, Département des Sculptures…, Sculpture française II – Renaissance et Temps Modernes, vol 2 Goujon – Warin, Paris, 1998, p. 605, MR 2771, marble relief, 37.5 x 55.5cm – ‘La Vierge allaitant l’Enfant adoré par des anges’. The date of Van Opstal’s birth in Brussels has recently been established as 1605, rather than c. 1594. He trained in his native city under Nicolas Diedon, but matriculated into the Guild of St Luke in Antwerp in 1635-6, where he seems to have concentrated on carving in ivory. In 1643 he moved to Paris and embarked instead on a career as a marble and alabaster carver, producing decorative reliefs for many buildings, including the Palais du Louvre (under Sarrazin) and the Hotel Carnavalet (1655-61). He also worked in terracotta and bronze. In 1648 he was one of the twelve founding members of the Académie royale de peinture et sculpture and was appointed ‘sculpteur ordinaire du roi’. His style is indebted on the one hand to ancient Roman sarcophagi and Renaissance reliefs, but on the other to his fellow-countrymen, the sculptor François Duquesnoy and the painter Rubens, who were helping to create the Baroque style in Rome and in Flanders. Nearly twenty bas-reliefs in marble were recorded first in Van Opstal’s posthumous inventory of 1668, then in the Cabinet des Dessins du Roi (Louis XIV), and finally in the Musée du Louvre. Of these, one depicting The Virgin suckling the Child adored by Angels (MR 2771) seems to be a re-working of, or to have been inspired by, the present, more tentative, composition. There, the Virgin is enthroned on a classical architectural podium, holding the child comfortably in the crook of her proper left arm as He suckles at her breast: here she is a Virgin of Humility, seated on the rocky ground (as in a typical Rest on the Flight into Egypt), supporting her weight by propping her right arm behind her, while Joseph attends her with a wicker basket laden with ripe fruit – perhaps large, luscious dates (as again was traditional in that scene, though there is no sign of the palm-tree from which angels shook them down). There, the infant St John reaches up at her knees and passes to her the scroll with his famous later prophecy, ‘Behold the Lamb of God,..’. Here, the classical profile of the Virgin’s cowled head and the play of drapery carefully arranged to reveal her limbs beneath it are reminiscent of the work of the sculptor François Duquesnoy (mentioned above), while the frizzy hair and beard of Joseph seem to show the beginnings of Van Opstal’s characteristic treatment of hair as a windswept mass. Alternatively, the present scene may instead be derived from Van Opstal’s similar, adult work in the Louvre by a gifted assistant within his workshop, for the relief described above remained there until it was acquired by the King, and so was probably not disseminated further afield. £2,500-£3,500 68

CIRCA 1870-80 modelled after paintings by Jean-Baptiste Oudry, all stamped ‘SEVRES’ and with incised marks, comprising a large centrepiece ‘Chasse au Cerf ’ depicting a stag with five hounds, 62cm wide x 30cm high, ‘Chasse au Sanglier’, the boar held at bay by two hounds, 42cm wide x 25cm high, ‘Chasse au Loup’, a group of a wolf attacking a dog, 39cm wide x 22cm high, ‘Valet de Chiens’, a group of a dog handler with two hounds, 33cm wide x 30cm high, another group of a handler with a horn and hounds, ‘Valet de Chiens au Cor’, 34cm wide x 37cm high, a model of a hunter priming his gun ‘Chasseur au Fusil’, 22cm wide x 35cm high, a model of a hunter blowing his horn ‘Chasseur au Cor’, 20cm wide x 37cm high, Losses (7) Literature Emile Bourgeois states that the sculptor who produced the original models for this wonderful suite was Pierre Blondeau. see Emile Bourgeois, ‘Le Biscuit de Sèvres au XVIIIème siècle’, 1909, plate 20 nos. 603 Valet de chiens, 604 Valet de chiens au cor and 133 Chasse au sanglier, and plate 21 nos. 135 Chassuer au fusil no. 1 and 186 Chasseur au cor. More recently Tamara Préaud has dismissed this attribution as there are no firm records in the Sevres archives to support this assertion. She discusses the suite in detail in ‘Porcelaines du Musée Condé à Chantilly’, 2005, no. 28. Catalogue Note The dramatic hunting scenes and figures that form this rare suite of sculptures are derived from paintings by the French Rococo painter JeanBaptiste Oudry (1686-1755). First designed in the 18th century and produced in glazed Vincennes porcelain, the original models were added to and adapted by the Sevres factory in the 1770’s for the royal family. Records show that in 1776, King Louis XV purchased three of the groups that form part of the present suite, Chasse au cerf, Chasse au loup and Chasse au sanglier. The other groups that form part of the present lot are not recorded until 1787. In the 1840’s the duc d’Aumale ordered an edition of the surtout and it remains in the Château de Chantilly (Musée Condé). The present suite was produced in the second half of the 19th century, and the Sevres factory was known to have produced these further sets for display in French embassies and for diplomatic gifts.

181 AFTER ALESSANDRO ALGARDI (ITALIAN, 1595/1598-1654): A PAIR OF BRONZE FIGURES OF PUTTI, POSSIBLY FRENCH LATE 18TH CENTURY the first boy blowing a double conch shell, the second boy kneeling and holding aloft a shell, both on a rocky, naturalistic ground over square bases, heavy casts with dark brown patination and lighter high points, raised on separately cast gilt bronze plinths with C scroll and acanthus decoration, the bronzes 26.4cm high, 32cm high including ormolu base (2) This rare pair of bronze figures are of identical size and design to a pair which were acquired by the 4th Marquess of Hertford by 1865 and are now in the Wallace Collection. The Wallace Collection state that the design for these figures seem to have originated in Rome, in the circle of sculptors such as Alessandro Algardi (15951654) and François Duquesnoy (1597-1643), but that their casts were almost certainly made in the mid 18th century in France. Jennifer Montagu more firmly attributes the design to Algardi based on the similarity to the Putto on a hippocamp now in the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore. A further pair that were almost identical to those in the Wallace Collection, and also raised on the same Neo-Classical style gilt bronze bases were sold at Christie’s, London, 7 July 2005, lot 531, £60,000 and catalogued as circa 1780 based on the design of the ormolu plinths.

He won the Colbert prize which awarded him a four year scholarship at the French Academy in Rome, however according to legend he soon left the academy and wandered homeless around the streets of Rome for some time. On his return to Paris the Roman influence was materialised in his monumental sculptures of the horse tamers, now known as the Marly Horses. Coustou’s design reinvented the theme of the colossal Roman marbles in the Piazza Quirinale, Rome; and the Marly Horses take their name from Louis XVI’s royal hunting lodge of that name. At Marly the notoriously private king could escape from the vast construction at Versailles, for Marly was large enough only to accommodate the royal hunting party. £2,000-£3,000 184 A BRONZE REDUCTION OF THE STATUE OF ST PETER FROM ST PETER’S BASILICA holding a key in his left hand, blessing with his right, seated on a throne above a square plinth, 46cm high This bronze is a reduction of the famous bronze of Saint Peter in the basilica of Saint Peter’s, Rome. The origin of the bronze is not known, it has been suggested that it dates to the 5th or 6th century and that St. Leo, who was Pope from 440 to 461, had the statue of St. Peter made out of the bronze of the ancient Jupiter Capitolinus. Other scholars have attributed it to the 13th century sculptor Arnolfo di Cambio, who also created the tabernacle of St. Paul. £400-£600 184 78

187 AFTER ANDREA DEL VERROCCHIO (ITALIAN, 1435-1488): A 19TH CENTURY BRONZE REDUCTION OF THE EQUESTRIAN MONUMENT TO BAROLOMEO COLLEONI dark brown patination, with a rectangular base, raised on a stepped yellow marble plinth, 51cm high This bronze is a reduction of the famous equestrian monument to the Condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni who served many years under the Republic of Venice. Verrocchio was commissioned to produce the sculpture in 1480 by the Venetian Signoria using funds left by Colleoni in his will. He began work on the model only to be told that they had changed their mind and given the commission to another sculptor; Verrocchio was so enraged at this that he smashed his model to pieces and left Venice in a rage. The Signoria soon realised their mistake and had to re-employ him at twice the previous rate; but these delays meant that the monument was still unfinished eight years later when the sculptor fell ill with a chill and died. It was therefore finished by Alessandro Leopardi. £2,000-£3,000
188 CHARLES VALTON (FRENCH, 1851-1918): A BRONZE MODEL OF A GREAT DANE AND HER YOUNG ‘LA CHIENNE DANOISE ET SES PETITS’ the seated dog with puppies at her feet, on a naturalistic base signed ‘CH VALTON’, raised on its original red velvet covered plinth with a gilt plaque inscribed ‘CHIENNE DANOISE, SALON DES BEAUXARTS, VALTON SCULPT’ the bronze 45cm high, 53cm high including plinth Model Exhibited: 1884, Salon des Artistes Français, no. 3952 (acquired by M.

Pierre Cartellier was originally commissioned by Louis XVIII in 1816 to produce an equestrian monument for the Place de la Concorde to replace Bouchardon’s monument which had been destroyed during the revolution. The horse was finally completed in 1831, however sadly that year Cartellier died, and it was left to his son-in-law, Louis Petitot, who had worked with him, to complete the commission. Petitot produced the figure of Louis XIV and the large monument was finally erected at Versailles in 1836. The monument was cast in bronze by the renowned bronze founder Charles Crozatier (French, 1795-1855), who had himself studied under Cartellier at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. Upon leaving Cartellier’s studio, Crozatier travelled to Italy where he studied the great sculptors of the Renaissance and Baroque and produced casts of some of their works to use in his own bronzes. He set up his own studio at Rue du Parc Royal, Paris, and his exceptional skill won him numerous commissions from royalty and nobility both in France and beyond.
Louis XVIII commissioned him to produce a sculpture of Napoleon in place Vendome, Paris, as well as the monumental cast of the present group, and Charles X made him Chevalier of the Légion d’honneur. Arguably the most renowned bronze founder in Paris for large monumental works, Crozatier was also known to have produced reductions and statuettes of monumental sculptures, such as Coustou’s Marly horses, ‘Ajax defying the Gods’ after Louis Dupaty (see Christies, London, 23 May 2014, lot 529) and the bronze figure of Hercules after Guillaume Boichot made for the portico of the Pantheon in Paris, which is now in the Royal Collection (RCIN 31361). The exceptional quality of the casting, after-working, surface treatment, patination and minute detail apparent in the present bronze reduction all indicate a Parisian bronze founder of the highest calibre. For example, even the underside of the bronze is depicted in fine detail, the nails in the horseshoe of the horses raised hoof have been clearly defined, a casting trait reminiscent of the great equestrian sculptor Pietro Tacca who Crozatier surely would have studied whilst in Italy. That Crozatier is known to have cast the monumental version of this bronze means that we know he would have had maquettes of this group in his workshop, and it is therefore possible that he was commissioned to produce a fine reduction of the equestrian figure for a particular patron. The Boulle style used to ornament the plinth was fashionable again in the 1840’s and would have been much more costly and time consuming to produce than an ordinary base, this technique is another sign that the sculpture was produced by an important sculptor such as Crozatier during this period. £10,000-£15,000
190 MATHILDE THOMAS-SOYER (FRENCH, B. 1861): A BRONZE EQUESTRIAN MODEL OF A CAVALRYMAN ‘EN VEDETTE’ CAST BY THIEBAUT FRERES wearing full military dress and looking into the distance, his horse standing on a naturalistic base, dark brown patination, signed ‘Math de Thomas’ and with Thiebaut Freres foundry stamp, 58cm high Auction Comparable: See Sotheby’s, New York, 22 October 2008, lot 47, sold $7,500. Mathilde Thomas-Soyer was one of the few professional female sculptors working in Paris in the late 19th century, and like Rosa Bonheur, specialised in Animalier subjects. She studied under the well-known sculptors Auguste Cain, himself an Animalier sculptor, and Henri Chapu. She exhibited at the Salon from 1879 a group entitled ‘Vache terrassant un loup qui vient d’égorger son veau’, which depicted a cow slaying a wolf that has just killed her calf. The Thiebaut Freres foundry cast a number of her plaster maquettes in bronze. £2,000-£3,000 84

Drury 1919’, raised on the original green marble plinth, the bronze 25cm high, 31.5cm high overall Marion Harry Spielmann summed up Drury’s enduring qualities perfectly when writing of the sculptor in 1901 when she wrote ‘Mr. Drury is among the most personal of our sculptors, always in search of the graceful, the tender, the placid, and the harmonious’. He first discovered his love for sculpture as a choir boy at New College, Oxford after seeing Chantry’s works. This inspired him to attend art school in Oxford before joining the National Art Training School, where he studied under the ground-breaking French sculptor Jules Dalou. Dalou was so impressed by his young student that when he returned to France he took Drury with him to work in his studio for the next four years. Upon Drury’s return to England, he joined the studio of another famous sculptor, Sir Edgar Boehm, who was a favourite of Queen Victoria. In 1885 he sent his first contribution to the Royal Academy, a group in terracotta entitled ‘The Triumph of Silenus’, but it was not until the following year when he exhibited his ideal busts at the RA that he achieved great popular success. Now considered to be a key member of the New Sculpture group of artists, his work is still well sought after; and unlike many of the mass produced bronze sculptures that were made in France during this period, his lost wax cast bronzes were not made in large quantities and come to auction relatively rarely.
