Specialist’s Insights Spring, now hopefully well on its way, gifts us all with a new and beautiful natural landscape, blowing away the cobwebs and dust from the winter months. Flowers and trees will be blossoming and soon the fields will be filled with lambs and daffodils. Flora and fauna epitomises the spring months and the inspiration the natural world provides can often be seen in the world of jewellery and silver.

For hundreds of years, flowers and animals have been fashioned out of precious metals and stones to be worn or admired, and within our first jewellery and silver auction of the year we have a host of objects which demonstrate this custom.
only as a bold statement but also to mimic the natural spectrum of colours seen in reptiles. Diamond accents and ruby set eyes complete this stunning creation. Presented within its original box, a work of art in itself, it bears an estimate of £3000-5000.
Perhaps the most striking is a 19th century gem set snake necklace. Today, many people tend to have a fear of snakes, however in Victorian England, they represented eternal love and were often used in sentimental jewellery. Not only this, snakes, with their sinuous form, lent themselves perfectly to necklace, bracelet and ring designs that were especially popular throughout the 1840’s and 50’s, which is when our piece dates from. This prime example is fashioned out of bright yellow gold links which are fully articulated to best emulate the ‘slithering’ movement and flow of a serpent’s body. The vivid hue provided by the gemstone turquoise was frequently used, as seen here mounted to the snakes head, not
As the 19th century continued and through to the first part of the 20th century, simple bar brooches, which could be mounted with a countless array of individual designs, became increasingly popular. Animals were the perfect subject matter to present on the bars, where they could sit proudly on the wearer. A partridge, pearl set owl and a terrier are all displayed in this auction. The use of animal motifs in the silver section is also present. Part of lot 6, comprised of three silver bowls, includes one example with cast elephant handles, adding a charming element to an often plain object. A large plated candelabra uses ram mask motifs to accentuate its stems and the use of bird motifs
can be seen in both lots 9 and 85. Floral decoration in silver design is also abundant. The art of repousse, which involves an object being struck form the reverse causing a raised decoration to the front, is often used to create floral patterns on objects such as teapots, trays, vases and boxes. The effect of this process is demonstrated beautifully in lot 90, a late 17th century beaker. It was particularly popular throughout the late 19th century, with floral designs often enveloping the body it was decorating. A more delicate representation of flowers within the silver section is seen in lot 55, a silver mounted claret jug, where fern sprays have been lightly etched into the glass body. A common floral representation in jewellery is the cluster ring, where you have a central, slightly larger stone, surrounded by smaller stone ‘petals’. A more unusual, but arguably more obvious, portrayal of a flower can be seen in lot 154. This is a stylish 1970’s solid 9ct gold ring formed as a ‘stalk’ hoop issuing three cast flowers. Over hundreds (if not thousands), of years, artists and designers have taken inspiration from the natural world that surrounds us. The new life spring brings will also bring with it new ideas and brand new creations which will become antiques of the future.

Specialist’s Insights With an extensive history of building precision instruments of measurement, Smiths is definitely a brand to look out for in forthcoming auctions within the next few years. Now manufacturing detectors of explosives, of narcotics and everything in-between, and employing over 20,000 people, Samuel Smith started off as a humble manufacturer of chronometers in the mid 19th century, and, after producing watches for the admiralty, later becoming a pioneer in the production of odometers and speedometers. But the watch company as we know it today started manufacturing in collaboration with Ingersoll in Wales, becoming one of the most prominent watch-manufacturers in Europe. The Smiths De Luxe was advertised as “Britains finest watch”, and whilst it

is commonly known that Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing wore early itineration of the Rolex explorer to the summit of Everest; Sir Edmund Hillary was also wearing a Smiths De Luxe, essentially a steel version of the watch that we are lucky enough to have with us.
In this sale, I present the opportunity to acquire a 1950’s icon, the flagship watch of a manufacturer in its heyday. A 9ct gold Smiths de Luxe, presented with its original box, and a period correct expanding bracelet. Also presented in this sale is a rare opportunity to acquire a fine restoration project, an 18ct yellow gold 1960’s Coresa chronograph, whilst one of the lugs is beginning to pull away from the case, it simply requires a small amount of laser welding, as well as a clean and service. Without a doubt, this is a watch that might just be worth keeping an eye on. The two items referred to are lot number 187 (Smiths) and 202 (Coresa).

James Forster Pictures jamesf@hallsgb.com
Specialist’s Insights Attributed to Henry Mayo Bateman (1887-1970) – lot 284 ‘Typist’ My passion for Bateman cartoons started many years ago when I was given a book of his illustrations for Punch, Tatler, Country Life and other such very British publications. I was immediately captivated by the humour, surreal movement and raw emotion in many of his works. Bateman always wanted to be a ‘serious artist’ but after a prolonged internal struggle he succumbed to his calling and became probably one of the greatest cartoonists of the 20th century. He, as he put it himself, ‘went mad on paper’ and essentially articulated through his work many elements of British humour which can be traced from the intensity of the Edwardian music hall through to present day comedy. His work is also a very accurate portrayal of class and society in Britain in the first half of the 20th century and brilliantly pokes fun at one of all, from combustible Colonels to the Typist in lot 284. Bateman
missed out on serving in the Great War being deemed unfit for service and, as was common with many of his generation, this weighed heavily on him. In the late 1940s, very much at the pinnacle of his career he abandoned his work as a cartoonist and returned to life as a painter to pursue his original goal to be a serious artist. Eventually he retired alone to a hotel in Gozo, Malta, where he painted every day until his death at the age of 84. While he may not have fully accepted his brilliance as a cartoonist the present day appetite for his cartoons is testament to the enduring nature of his brand of humour which to me is timeless. Lot 284 represents a wonderful snapshot of his work and I urge you to go mad and bid for it!

EXPLANATION OF CATALOGUING TERMS FOR PAINTINGS, MINIATURES, SCULPTURES AND PRINTS Any statement as to authorship, attribution, origin, date and age, provenance and condition is a statement of opinion and is not to be taken as a statement of fact. Halls Fine Art reserve the right, in forming their opinion, to consult and rely upon any expert or authority considered by them to be reliable. 1. John Constable In our opinion a work by the artist. When the artist’s forename(s) is not known, a series of asterisks, followed by the surname of the artist, whether preceded by an initial or not, indicates that in our opinion the work is by the artist named. 2. Attributed to John Constable In our opinion probably a work by the artist, but less certainty as to authorship is expressed than in the preceding category. 3. Studio of John Constable In our opinion a work by an unknown hand in the studio of the artist which may or may not have been executed under the artist’s direction. 4. Circle of John Constable In our opinion a work by an as yet unidentified but distinct hand, closely associated with the named artist but not necessarily his pupil. 5. Style of… follower of John Constable In our opinion a work by a painter working in the artist’s style, contemporary, but not necessarily his pupil. 6. Manner of John Constable In our opinion a work in the style of the artist and of a later date. 7. After John Constable In our opinion a copy of a known work of the artist. 8.

All weights stated in the catalogue are approximate only, these figures are for reference only and prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the accuracy. Prospective buyers are reminded that coloured gemstones have historically been treated to enhance their appearance.

The International Jewellery Trade generally accept these methods.
