This apparently unrecorded figure seems likely to be from the Meissen series of ‘Nations of the Levant’, modelled by J.J. Kaendler and J.F.

Confusingly this series includes non-Levantine Bulgarian and Hungarian figures, so may have included a sailor from Friesland.

28 28 A NAPLES SAUCEBOAT STAND FROM THE HERCULANEUM SERVICE (SERVIZIO ERCOLANESE), REAL FABBRICA FERDINANDEA, 1781/82 oval, painted either by Giacomo Milano or Antonio Cioffi with a scene of a winged putto grasping a goat by the horns in a landscape, the foliate guilloche moulded border interrupted by four gilt-tooled vignettes of birds, a duck and a swan, gilt line rims, reverse titled in red MUS. ERCOL. / SERIE DI PITT. / FANCIULLO, CHE LOTTA / CON UN CAPRONE. above crowned FRF mark 19.6cm long Provenance: The collection of Robin Wigington (1932-2002).

The Herculaneum Service was commissioned by Ferdinand IV of Naples and delivered to Madrid in the autumn of 1782 as a gift to his father, Charles III of Spain. King Ferdinand’s newly promoted director at the royal porcelain factory, Domenico Venuti, created for this commission an innovative service, departing from previous rather derivative models heavily inspired by Sèvres, taking instead design inspiration from the frescos and other antiquities which were being excavated all around the bay of Naples. Venuti was personally connected with the discoveries from antiquity, as his father, Marcello Venuti, had been director of the archaeological projects since 1740, responsible for the excavations and for many of the influential volumes of ‘Le Antichità di Ercolano esposte’ published between 1757-1798.

The Herculaneum service comprised seventy-one pieces in total, plus some serving cutlery, each piece painted by the head decorator Milani and his colleague, Cioffi. It included two sauceboats and this present dish can be identified as the stand for one of them: the pair to this stand was sold Bonhams, London, 8 December 2010, lot 146, painted with an opposing scene of a putto grasping a deer by its horns. These two stands and a plate in an Italian private collection appear to take their design directly from the fresco vignettes of cupids hunting or struggling with animals, originally found in the cryptoporticus of the House of the Deer in Herculaneum (see accompanying illustration, which relates directly to the plate illustrated in Le porcellane dei Borboni di Napoli....., ed. A. Caròla-Perrotti, p.333).

It is not known how this famous and rare service came to be broken up; other known surviving pieces include a plate at the Victoria and Albert Museum, four pieces in the Museo Duca di Martina in Naples and two bottle coolers in Italian private collections, as well as four pieces sold by Sotheby’s and Christie’s at auctions in London, and a group of three pieces from the Barilla collection, sold Sotheby’s, London, 14 March 2012, lots 228/233/234.

For an account of the service’s journey to Spain, as well as more on the artists who worked on it, see the document published at the end of the nineteenth century by the historian Camillo Minieri Riccio and reproduced by A. Caròla-Perrotti, La Porcellana della Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea, 1978, note 20, pp.56-57; also see: Le porcellane dei Borboni di Napoli, Capodimonte e Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea, Naples, 1986, pp.327-341, ed.

253 253 JAMINI ROY (INDIAN 1887-1972), NUDE FEMALE gouache on paper, signed in Bengali bottom right, framed 43.5 x 23.5cm This painting is characteristic of Roy’s new, more abstracted style which he developed from the late 1940s. Although no record survives of when this painting was acquired, it was part of a mixed private collection of paintings which had been held in storage for several decades outside London. A considerable number of Roy’s paintings were acquired by British and European collectors directly from the artist in the 1950s-60s, and judging from the style of frame and mount, it seems likely that this might have been the case with this example.

Essex) below a wirework stylised corolla finial with chrysoprase cabochon, the everted rim to the bowl with inner applied beaded border and outer punch beaded border 22.5cm diameter, 583gr (18oz) all in Provenance: Given as a silver wedding present to Sebastian Henry Petre (1856-1934) and his wife Elise (née Sibeth 1855-1946) of Tor Bryan House, Ingatestone, by their sons Henry Aloysius (1864-1932) and Edward (1886-1912); thence by family descent to the present vendor. Sebastian Petre was a grandson of William, 11th Baron Petre, from whose son he acquired the land named Tor Bryan after family estates in Devon. Henry and Edward Petre, although trained as a solicitor and an architect respectively, became pioneering aviators. In the workshop at Tor Bryan, they built an aircraft which was exhibited at the 1910 Olympia Aero Show. Unfortunately Henry subsequently crashed this craft on its

98

maiden flight at Brooklands, since although possessed of the skills to build a plane, the brothers had yet to acquire to skills to fly one. Henry went on to master the art of flying, becoming a founder of the Australian Flying Corps and commander of the Mesopotamian Half Flight, although returning to the law after the war. Greater tragedy struck his brother Edward, who crashed fatally on Christmas Eve 1912, attempting the first solo flight from Brooklands to Edinburgh. These brothers had always been interested in metalwork and making things and by family repute had a hand in executing this dish, perhaps visiting the workshops of the Guild of Handicraft at Chipping Camden.

Although electroplate versions of the dish may be found, examples in silver are rare; for a similar dish and cover (with more elaborate finial and chrysoprase cabochons set to the rim of the body), hallmarked 1900, see the Victoria and Albert Museum No.M.42:1 to 3-1972; also for another version (with amethyst cabochon and plain rim) hallmarked 1906, see Bonham’s, New York, 18 June 2007, lot 2000. £2000-3000

Morelli is thought to have been trained by Angelo Amastini, whose daughter he married. He is recorded in 1799 as teaching Benedetto Pistrucci and in 1810 was inducted as a gem engraver by the Accademia di S. Luca, being admitted to the Academy’s order of merit in 1812. See Lucia Pirzio Biroli Stefanelli, ‘Nicola Morelli, Incisore in Pietre Dure, Accademico di Merito di S. Luca, Virtuoso del Pantheon’, Bollettino dei Musei Comunali di Roma, 1992, vol. VI, pp. 63-116, figure 2 for an illustration of a similar cameo, from the Castellani collection, now in the Museo di Villa Giulia, Rome.

Captured during the American Revolutionary War, he was released in exchange for the famous American rebel, Ethan Allen. Serving as Governor of Jamaica and then Madras, Campbell is credited with numerous civil improvements. He married the daughter of the portraitist Allan Ramsay in 1779 but died in London without issue.

Andrews worked in India from 1791 until his death, first in Madras and later Calcutta.

Unlike most of his grisaille profiles taken from life, this posthumous profile was based on the Tassie portrait of 1779.

Antonio Tomasich y Haro trained in Paris and subsequently worked in Spain, Mexico, Cuba and, for a while, in England. He painted numerous portraits of the Spanish Court, examples of which he exhibited in Madrid in the 1870s.

Conradi was an associate of the photographer Antoine Claudet.

Claudet operated one of the first daguerreotype studios in London from June 1841. Conradi, who had studied at the Dresden and Berlin academies, exhibited portraits and miniatures 1865-76 from 23 Berners Street, London. See Royal Collections (RCIN 421896) for a Conradi portrait of Queen Victoria.

This miniature is an example of the connections between early photography and miniature portraiture (see lot 531). The different members of the Mulnier family of miniaturists are often confused.

It would appear Nelson Mulnier was the elder son of Etienne Ferdinand Mulnier and grandson of Jean-Baptiste Mulnier. Nelson went on to work as a photographer in Marseilles in association with Chapelier. His younger brother, another Jean-Baptiste, had a photography studio in Paris. (www.portraitsepia.fr/articles-323-6, accessed 12.04.2016)

This miniature is another example of the link between miniature painting and photography, that dates back to the 1840s: see lots 530 & 531 for early examples of this link. The present miniature, signed by Gregory, predates her better-known later career as a photographer. With her husband, Bertram Park, whom she married in 1916, she set up a photography studio in Dover Street, that developed to become one of the most fashionable and successful studios in London.

Provenance: James Alexander Douglass (1800?-1862), thence by descent through the Petre family to the present vendor. James Douglas(s) of Lincoln’s Inn Fields and Ealing married in 1838 Mary Agnes Petre (1820-1886), elder daughter of William Henry Francis, 11th Baron Petre, at the Petre’s seat of Thorndon Hall in Essex.

Crown heart brooches, often in silver, are commonly known as Luckenbooth brooches, given traditionally in Scotland as wedding presents. This brooch, known in the family as the ‘Douglas Heart’ is also symbolic of the heart featuring in the Douglas coat of arms. Sir James Douglas carried Robert the Bruce’s heart on Crusade in 1330, but died at the battle of Teba in Andalucia. His heart (together with Robert the Bruce’s) was brought back to Scotland and apparently thereafter the arms of the Douglas family was changed to incorporate the crowned heart. See lot 481 for seals belonging to James Alexander Douglass.

EDMONDS, Goldsmith & Jeweller, 67, Baker, LONDON, the heel of the case stamped with the case maker’s mark G in Gothic script, 95mmx75mm approximately Provenance: Monsignor William Petre, (1847-1893), who became 13th Baron Petre on the death of his father in 1884, a Roman Catholic writer and educator. Ordained in 1874, he founded a school in 1877 at Woburn Park, Addlestone. Run on highly unconventional lines, the school failed in 1884, but undaunted Monsignor Petre established another school at Northwood Park on the Isle of Wight the same year; sadly this too was doomed to failure within a twelvemonth. Presumably these scholastic miscarriages contributed to his early death aged forty-six. Thence by family descent to the present vendor. £150-250 580 AMETHYST NECKLACE, 1900s designed with three circular amethysts accented with seed pearls connected by knife wire to pear shaped amethyst drops on a fine link back chain length approximately 420mm, one drop detached, one pearl missing £100-150 581 PAIR OF TURQUOISE AND CULTURED PEARL EARRINGS each circular earring decorated with a central cultured pearl within a floral turquoise surround £400-600 582 PAIR OF AMETHYST EAR PENDANTS AND BROOCH, LATE 19th CENTURY each earring designed as a row of four oval amethysts within granulated surrounds, the brooch of similar design (central stone deficient) £150-200 583 PAIR OF GOLD CUFFLINKS each circular link depicting Tsar Nicholas II on chain and baton fittings bearing suprious Fabergé marks 7 grs £80-120 584 AMETHYST BRACELET designed as a series of eight oval amethysts within twisted rope borders, length approximately 190mm, together with a ring set with a step-cut amethyst, size M½ (2)

Conditions of Business for Buyers 1.

2.

Introduction (a) The contractual relationship of Matthew Barton Ltd and Sellers with prospective Buyers is governed by: (i) these Conditions of Business for Buyers; (ii) the Conditions of Business for Sellers displayed in the saleroom and available from Matthew Barton Ltd; (iii) Matthew Barton Ltd’s Authenticity Guarantee; (iv) any additional notices and terms printed in the sale catalogue, in each case as amended by any saleroom notice or auctioneer's announcement. (b) As auctioneer, Matthew Barton Ltd acts as agent for the Seller.

Occasionally, Matthew Barton Ltd may own or have a financial interest in a lot.

Definitions “Bidder” is any person making, attempting or considering making a bid, including Buyers;; “Buyer” is the person who makes the highest bid or offer accepted by the auctioneer, including a Buyer’s principal when bidding as agent; “Seller” is the person offering a lot for sale, including their agent or executors; “MBL” means Matthew Barton Ltd., Auctioneers, 25 Blythe Road London W14 0PD, company number 6504692.

“Buyer’s Expenses” are any costs or expenses due to Matthew Barton Ltd. from the Buyer; “Buyer’s Premium” is the commission payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price at the rates set out in the Guide for Prospective Buyers; “Hammer Price” is the highest bid for the property accepted by the auctioneer at the auction or the post auction sale price; “Purchase Price” is the Hammer Price plus applicable Buyer’s Premium and Buyer’s Expenses; “Reserve Price” (where applicable) is the minimum Hammer Price at which the Seller has agreed to sell the lot.

(c) Without prejudice to Condition 4(b), any claim against MBL and/or the Seller by a Bidder is limited to the Purchase Price for the relevant lot. Neither MBL nor the Seller shall be liable for any indirect or consequential losses. (d) Nothing in Condition 4 shall exclude or limit the liability of MBL or the Seller for death or personal injury caused by the negligent acts or omissions of MBL or the Seller 5.

Bidding at Auction (a) MBL has absolute discretion to refuse admission to the auction.

Before sale, Bidders must complete a Registration Form and supply such information and references as MBL requires.

Bidders are personally liable for their bid and are jointly and severally liable with their principal, if bidding as agent (in which case MBL’s prior and express consent must be obtained). (b) MBL advises Bidders to attend the auction, but MBL will endeavour to execute absentee written bids provided that they are, in MBL’s opinion, received in sufficient time and in legible form. (c) When available, written and telephone bidding is offered as a free service at the Bidder’s risk and subject to MBL’s other commitments; MBL is therefore not liable for failure to execute such bids. Telephone bidding may be recorded.

6.

Import, Export and Copyright Restrictions MBL and the Seller make no representations or warranties as to whether any lot is subject to import, export or copyright restrictions. It is the Buyer's sole responsibility to obtain any copyright clearance or any necessary import, export or other licence required by law, including licenses required under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

7.

Conduct of the Auction (a) The auctioneer has discretion to refuse bids, withdraw or reoffer lots for sale (including after the fall of the hammer) if (s)he believes that there may be an error or dispute, and may also take such other action as (s)he reasonably deems necessary. (b) The auctioneer will commence and advance the bidding in such increments as (s)he considers appropriate and is entitled to place bids on the Seller’s behalf up to the Reserve Price for the lot, where applicable. (c) Subject to Condition 7(a), the contract between the Buyer and the Seller is concluded on the striking of the auctioneer's hammer. (d) Any post-auction sale of lots shall incorporate these Conditions of Business.

8.

Payment and Collection (a) Unless otherwise agreed in advance, payment of the Purchase Price is due in pounds sterling immediately after the auction (the "Payment Date"). (b) Title in a lot will not pass to the Buyer until MBL has received the Purchase Price in cleared funds. MBL will generally not release a lot to a Buyer before payment. Earlier release shall not affect passing of title or the Buyer's obligation to pay the Purchase Price, as above. (c) The refusal of any licence or permit required by law, as outlined in Condition 6, shall not affect the Buyer’s obligation to pay for the lot, as per Condition 8(a). (d) The Buyer must arrange collection of lots within 10 working days of the auction. Purchased lots are at the Buyer's risk from the earlier of (i) collection or (ii) 10 working days after the auction. Until risk passes, MBL will compensate the Buyer for any loss or damage to the lot up to a maximum of the Purchase Price actually paid by the Buyer. MBL’s assumption of risk is subjected to the exclusions detailed in Condition 5(d) of the Conditions of Business for Sellers. (e) All packing and handling of lots is at the Buyer's risk. MBL will

The Buyer’s Premium, Buyer’s Expenses and Hammer Price are subject to VAT, where applicable.

3.

4.

Examination of Lots (a) MBL’s knowledge of lots is partly dependent on information provided by the Seller and MBL is unable to exercise exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Each lot is available for examination before sale. Bidders are responsible for carrying out examinations and research before sale to satisfy themselves over the condition of lots and accuracy of descriptions. (b) All oral and/or written information provided to Bidders relating to lots, including descriptions in the catalogue, condition reports or elsewhere are statements of MBL’s opinion and not representations of fact. Estimates may not be relied on as a prediction of the selling price or value of the lot and may be revised from time to time at MBL’s absolute discretion.

Exclusions and limitations of liability to Buyers (a) MBL shall refund the Purchase Price to the Buyer in circumstances where it deems that the lot is a counterfeit, subject to the terms of MBL’s Authenticity Guarantee. (b) Subject to Condition 4(a), neither MBL nor the Seller:(i) is liable for any errors or omissions in any oral or written information provided to Bidders by MBL, whether negligent or otherwise; (ii) gives any guarantee or warranty to Bidders and any implied warranties and conditions are excluded (save in so far as such obligations cannot be excluded by English law), other than the express warranties given by the Seller to the Buyer (for which the Seller is solely responsible) under the Conditions of Business for Sellers; (iii) accepts responsibility to Bidders for acts or omissions (whether negligent or otherwise) by MBL in connection with the conduct of auctions or for any matter relating to the sale of any lot.

MBL shall give the Buyer 14 days written notice before exercising such lien; (h) Commence legal proceedings to recover the Purchase Price for the lot, plus interest and legal costs; (i) Disclose the Buyer’s details to the Seller to enable the Seller to commence legal proceedings.

10. Failure to collect purchases (a) If the Buyer pays the Purchase Price but does not collect the lot within 20 working days of the auction, the lot will be stored at the Buyer's expense and risk at MBL’s premises or in independent storage .

(b) If a lot is paid for but uncollected within 6 months of the auction, following 60 days written notice to the Buyer, MBL will re-sell the lot by auction or privately, with estimates and reserves at MBL’s discretion.

Data Protection (a) MBL will use information supplied by Bidders or otherwise obtained lawfully by MBL for the provision of auction related services, client administration, marketing and as otherwise required by law. (b) By agreeing to these Conditions of Business, the Bidder agrees to the processing of their personal information and to the disclosure of such information to third parties worldwide for the purposes outlined in Condition 11(a) and to Sellers as per Condition 9(i).

(c) The materials listed in Condition 1(a) set out the entire agreement between the parties. (d) If any part of these Conditions of Business be held unenforceable, the remaining parts shall remain in full force and effect. (e) These Conditions of Business shall be interpreted in accordance with English Law, under the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts, in favour of MBL.

Matthew Barton Ltd’s Authenticity Guarantee If Matthew Barton Ltd sells an item of Property which is later shown to be a “Counterfeit”, subject to the terms below Matthew Barton Ltd. will rescind the sale and return the Buyer the total amount paid by the Buyer to Matthew Barton Ltd. for that Property, up to a maximum of the Purchase Price.

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 Matthew Barton Ltd’s 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; (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 Matthew Barton Ltd’s reasonable opinion)

(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 Matthew Barton Ltd 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 (i) return the Property to Matthew Barton Ltd 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.

Matthew Barton Ltd has discretion to waive any of the above requirements. Matthew Barton Ltd may require the Buyer to obtain at the Buyer's cost the reports of two independent and recognised experts in the relevant field and acceptable to Matthew Barton Ltd. Matthew Barton Ltd 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 Matthew Barton Ltd 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 Matthew Barton Ltd.
