Susan Rumfitt Phoebe BakerDore and Rees team members are always pleased to discuss individual lots with prospective purchasers prior to the auction, you are welcome to request condition reports If you require clarification of any terms used in the catalogue please be in touch. We are pleased to discuss lots which may have been altered, repaired, or restored. The term basically used in conjunction with a date (ie basically 18th century) indicates that, in our opinion, the item may have undergone restoration, repair, or alteration It also indicates that only an element of the piece may date from the period stated in the description. The absence of the term basically does not imply that an item is without restoration, repair, or alteration The use of inverted comas around a word or phrase (i e “pearl”) indicates that the piece, or object, may not be what it is purporting to be (i.e. a simulated pearl). If you are in doubt, our specialists are available prior to the auction to offer guidance and advice
For Chinese ceramics and works of art, if the catalogue states that the object in question bears a mark, but it does not state “and of the period” it indicates that we believe the lot in question may not date from the period suggested by the mark Clearly, references to the colour of jade are subjective and again buyers are advised to personally inspect items on which they intend to bid to ensure the colour meets with their expectation
Care is taken to ensure that any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date and provenance is reliable and accurate, but all such statements of opinion are not to be taken as statement or representations of fact Dore and Rees reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority reasonably considered by them to be reliable
Descriptions of property in this catalogue do not always indicate condition, repair or damage Buyers are earnestly advised to inspect personally any lot they intend to purchase. Weights and measurements are approximate and should be verified by intending purchasers
A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname or recognised designation of an artist is, in our opinion, a work by the artist, e g JOHN NASH
Attributed to JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist
Studio of JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work by an unknown hand, which may have been executed in the studio of the artist
Circle of JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.
Follower of JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work executed in the style but probably not necessarily by a pupil.
Manner of JOHN NASH in our opinion, a work executed in the style of the artist but of a later date
After JOHN NASH in our opinion, a copy of any date after a work by the artist
Signed/inscribed/dated JOHN NASH in our opinion, the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist
Bears signature/inscription/date JOHN NASH in our opinion, the signature/inscription/date are probably not by the hand of the artist
The addition of a question mark after any of the cataloguing terms in the above glossary indicates an element of doubt
The term 'ascribed to' may in certain cases be used to denote a traditional attribution based on style
A work catalogued as 'School' accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date mean that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in that location, e g Italian School, circa 1800
All reference to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of work, i e as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing
The use of inverted comas around the name of an artist, or date, in connection with a signature, or inscription (ie signed “John Nash”) indicates that the signature, or inscription, may have been added by another hand
The contents of any gemmological certificates accompanying lots in this sale are not guaranteed by Dore and Rees and we cannot be held responsible for any disagreement over the contents of the certificates after the sale, or for a retrospective change in opinion by the certificate issuer All weights and measurements provided are approximate only Prospective purchasers should assume that all coloured stones sold by Dore and Rees have been treated unless otherwise stated to the contrary in the catalogue description Stones are commonly treated to enhance their colour and clarity Sapphires and rubies are commonly heat treated and emeralds commonly oiled Jade/jadeite is often bleached, polymer/resin filled or dyed.
Please contact Dore and Rees for more clarification on treatment in individual lots Items containing rubies or jade/jadeite of Burmese origin are not permitted for import by the USA

Note: A garnet and gold bracelet by T & J Bragg & Co showing the same enamel decoration is on display at the Victorian & Albert Museum in London A collection of jewellery by T & J Bragg was purchased by the authorities at the South Kensington Museum around 1871 The purpose of the purchase was to distinguish between imitation and inexpensive jewellery at the time, as 9 carat gold had become acceptable in jewellery design but many still associated the use of 9 carat gold with inferior jewellery produced in Birmingham which had been given the name ‘Brumagem’
For T & J Bragg of Birmingham this was a turning point. They were ranked with London makers by ‘The Art Journal’, who said ‘their contribution should forever stamp out the notion that Birmingham produces only cheap and bad jewellery’
T & J Bragg were noted as exhibitors at the International Exhibition of 1862, and the International Health Exhibition of 1884 By 1916 the firm was absorbed into Fattorini & Sons of Bradford, Birmingham and London £600 £800

WILHELM SCHMIDT: A CARVED OPAL, CIRCA 1880

Signed “WILHELM SCHMIDT”
3 1cm x 5 6cm
Total weight 23.5gms
Provenance: From a private collection, acquired in Shanghai or Hong Kong from the 1930s onwards
Note: WILHELM SCHMIDT (1845 1938)
Schmidt was born in Idar Oberstein and at the age of 15 went to Paris and trained with the cameo cutter Arsène There had been a huge interest in Cameos for centuries, but by the time Schmidt had graduated in the 1860’s, that interest was beginning to fade. He eventually settled in London and worked alongside his brother in Hatton Garden who dealt in gemstones He was working with some fabulously rare gemstone specimens and produced pieces for John Brogden, Child and Child and Carlo Giuliano and this helped to raise his profile The big break came when he mastered carving opals His work is exceptional and it is rare to find a signed example
Gertrud Seidmann, a connoisseur of Schmidt's work, explained the importance of Schmidt’s work: "opal cameos, if rare, were not unknown (in the 19th century) but Schmidt had invented a novel technique: instead of carving the whole cameo from precious opal, he used blanks with a thin layer of precious opal overlaying the matrix, in the same way in which the contrasted layers of agates were traditionally used to set off the background."

Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance Certain enhancements, such as heating, are commonly used to improve colour or transparency in rubies and sapphires. Emeralds are also frequently treated, usually with oils or resin, for the same purpose. Other methods, including stain ing, dyeing, coating or irradiation, may have been used on other gemstones including Jade and associated hardstone that may have been bleached (usually in acid), polymer/resin filled or dyed, or a combination of any of these treat ments
The international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods Heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, however, in some cases; this may have an impact on the durability of the gemstone Gemstones that have been oiled may require re oiling after a number of years in order to retain their optimum appearance
It is, in suitable cases, Dore & Rees’s policy to obtain gemmological reports from internationally recognised gemmo logical laboratories describing certain gemstones sold by Dore & Rees. In the event that Dore & Rees have been given, or have obtained, reports for any lot in the sale these reports will be mentioned in the catalogue description. However, it is not feasible for Dore & Rees to obtain a gemmological report for each gemstone offered for sale by Dore & Rees. If no report is published in the catalogue prospective buyers should assume that the gemstones may have been enhanced by some method However, please note that there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees or types of treatment for any particular gemstone Prospective buyers should be aware that Dore & Rees’s pre sale estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments
Where printed in the catalogue, estimated diamond grades for colour and clarity are intended as guides for prospec tive buyers Dore & Rees do not guarantee these estimated grades due to the limitations of mounts and settings
