Some lots are accompanied by gemmological certificates which give an opinion on some or all of the gemstones included in that particular lot. These certificates may have been obtained by Woolley and Wallis or supplied by vendors. It is important to note that the content of these certificates is not guaranteed by Woolley and Wallis and we cannot be held responsible for any disagreement over the content of certificates after the sale, or for a retrospective change in opinion by the providers of any of the certificates.
Not all images are lifesized, and weights and measurements in the catalogue are approximate only. It is common practice for coloured stones including jade to be treated to enhance their appearance. This includes jade that has been bleached (usually in acid), polymer/resin filled or dyed, or a combination of any of these treatments. Prospective buyers should presume that all coloured stones sold by Woolley and Wallis have been treated unless stated to the contrary in the catalogue description. Please contact the department for more information regarding enhancement and treatment of coloured stones, and for condition reports which are available on single item lots.
Pearls known and guaranteed to be cultured or natural are described as such in the cataloguing. Where the origin of a pearl is unknown and not guaranteed, it is described simply as a ‘pearl’, and it will be specified in the cataloguing as untested. Pearls described in this way are guaranteed to be pearls and not simulants, but their origin is not guaranteed as either natural or cultured. Items described as ‘seed pearls’ have also not been tested and cannot be guaranteed as natural pearls.
Any dispute as to the authenticity of a lot, including signatures, age and condition, and as to the treatment of gemstones including pearls, synthetic diamonds and HPHT enhanced diamonds, must be brought to the attention of Woolley and Wallis within two weeks of the sale date. Woolley and Wallis do not guarantee the working order of mechanical movements at the point of sale and beyond.

586 Cartier, a rare gold Baignoire Allongée 'Maxi Oval' wristwatch ref 8684, 1960s, the oval creamcoloured dial with radiating Roman numerals, within a gold bezel, to a leather strap and deployant clasp, case width 30mm (including crown), length 55mm, dial signed Cartier, the reverse numbered 8684, the movement signed Jaeger LeCoultre, case back interior signed Cartier New York, stamped 18ct and 0.75, clasp with French assay marks for 18ct gold and French maker's marks EJ with hourglass for Edmond Jaeger, numbered twice 10676 £60,00080,000
Cartier’s oval ‘Baignoire’ wristwatches were originally designed for a Russian client in 1912, though the design was only later named. The name ‘Baignoire’, literally translating to ‘bath tub’ in French, while describing the oval outline of the watch, actually refers to the exclusive ‘baignoire’ area of seating in an opera house – a natural habitat for Cartier’s sophisticated clientele.
Already pioneers of wristwatch design, the 1960s in particular were a period of experimentation for Cartier, and the ‘Baignore’ was one of its chief benefactors. The elegant oval watch was reimagined in the Surrealistinspired ‘Crash’ style, or in the style of the present watch – the largest available, known as the ‘Maxi Oval’ – its dimensions taken to an extreme, spanning nearly the full width of the wrist and satisfyingly curved to fit its contours. With its distinctive ‘explosion’ dial, where the Roman numeral indicators dramatically taper outwards towards the edge, the distorted effect is almost that of a magnifying glass, playfully exaggerating the design’s already largerthanlife dimensions.
These unusual models were handmade, and produced in very limited numbers, making them extraordinarily rare, and among the most sought after of all of Cartier’s wristwatches.

On the cold morning of January 26th 1924, readers of the Illustrated London News opened a new issue of their biweekly paper that promised something extraordinary – a first glimpse of the sarcophagus of the young pharaoh Tutankhamun. News of the tomb’s discovery had hit newspaper stands over a year prior to this, but the magnificence of the tomb’s treasures was only gradually revealed in tantalising fragments, as the excavation progressed.
The Valley of the Kings, as its name might imply, was known since ancient times as the burial place of the Egyptian pharaohs, and had long been a source of academic fascination and artistic inspiration. What made the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 particularly newsworthy, however, was that it was the first major discovery for a considerable amount of time – a culmination of years of effort by archeologist Howard Carter, and his patron George Edward Stanhope Molyneux Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon. Even more extraordinary was the fact that the tomb, despite its magnificence, had lain undiscovered by looters over the millennia and was discovered intact. Filled with astonishingly lavish treasures such as the young pharaoh’s gold and lapis lazuli burial mask, the tomb yielded objects that became icons of archaeological discovery and reinvigorated worldwide fascination with Ancient Egypt – its exotic mythologies, its lavish material culture, and its distinctive aesthetics.
The particularly fervent wave of ‘Egyptomania’ that ensued was not the first time that Western fashions fell under the spell of ancient Egypt. In the early 1920s, however, it happily coincided with a nascent visual style across fashion, furniture, architecture and jewellery, later known as ‘Art Deco’, that fitted its colourful and rigidly geometric aesthetics perfectly
With its intriguingly exotic, beautifully proportioned design, an abundance of luscious red rubies and a chic sautoirlength necklace of black onyx, it is no surprise to learn that the present pendant is the work of arguably the greatest jeweller of the 20th century, Cartier. Cartier were key contributors to this new aesthetic, and throughout the late 1910s and early 1920s they had slowly infused their elegant jewels with a wide range of foreign influences including Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Indian and Islamic art.
The Illustrated London News, 26th January 1924, the present pendant illustrated in its original state top centre
Cartier had already begun exploring Egyptian motifs in their jewels as early as 1910, thanks to the enquiring mind and scholarly inclinations of their chief designer Charles Jacqueau, his firsthand studies of Egyptian antiquities and his extensive knowledge of various historic styles gleaned from books such as Owen Jones’s influential 1856 publication The Grammar of Ornament. Jacqueau received considerable encouragement from Louis Cartier himself, who also had a personal interest in ancient Egypt that predated the media frenzy around Tutankhamun, and had been acquiring artefects from Parisian dealers for several years, most notably an entire collection from the dealer Kalebdjian in 1914.
Typically prescient Cartier had started tentatively incorporating these ancient Egyptian objects in their jewels even before the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, but as society fell under the spell of ‘Tutmania’, a new opportunity arose for these jewels to capitalise on the height of their media relevance. The January 1924 issue of The Illustrated London News that offered the glimpse of Tutankhamun’s sarcophagus also carried a feature on Cartier London that showed an array of strikingly stylish designs set with ancient Egyptian faïence figurines, scarabs and inscribed tablets, under the headline ‘The “Tutankhamen” influence in Modern Jewellery’.
Made for stock at the height of this craze, at a time when other rival jewellers such as Lacloche Frères and Van Cleef & Arpels were also making their own beautiful, yet very different Egyptianinspired jewels, Cartier’s pieces were a triumph all of their own a completely modern, current style effortlessly absorbing ancient artefacts in pleasing designs full of clever contrasts and unexpected harmonies. Front and centre on the top row is a diamond pendant supporting a long Egyptian faïence figurine of Nefertem in the centre, miscatalogued as Isis. The distinctive Ushaped base with hooked motifs at each side is designed to resemble the silhouette of the beaded usekh necklaces that adorn mummies and sarcophagi, each end often bearing the falcon’s head of the god Horus. Intriguingly, it is identical to the present pendant.
Two of the pieces from this same advert came to auction at Sotheby’s New York in 2013 – a ‘Pylon’shaped brooch, set with an inscribed panel of faïence, and a fanshaped lapis lazuli and diamond brooch applied with a faïence figure of the lionheaded goddess Sekhmet in profile. Both were signed Cartier Londres and numbered S.L7358 and S.L7353 respectively, the ‘S.L’ simply meaning ‘Sold in London’ according to the accompanying catalogue note. This pendant, also signed Cartier Londres, is numbered S.L7352. The sequential proximity of this serial number to the other known examples that appeared in the 2013 sale suggests that it was made in France for London stock, alongside the rest of these Egyptianinspired pieces. Additionally, the presence of a cut rivet fitting to each side of the pendant across the back, originally bridging the gap between the falconhead motifs and of no structural relevance to the jewel in its current state, hints that originally something else was held in place instead of the rubies – the faïence figure. These two pieces of evidence strongly suggest that this pendant is indeed the original that appears in the 1924 advertisement, and forms part of this extraordinarily rare collection of Egyptian revival jewels.
If this is indeed the longlost pendant, the question remains as to why the jewel was reworked. The presence of extra serial numbers on the jewel, as well as the aesthetic choices made and the quality of their execution, indicate that the alterations were made inhouse by Cartier, as was common practice for the firm. The use of cabochon rubies and the delicate floral motif at the top of the pendant are redolent of Cartier’s famous Indianinspired jewels, also of the midlate 1920s, and suggests that the reworking was done not long after its initial manufacture, to tone down the Egyptian influence of the pendant and bring it more in line with its popular Hindou or Pierres de Couleur jewels, some of which were later famously known as Tutti Frutti. The floral arrangement of the ruby cabochons suggests that the usekh necklace motif has been reimagined as a hanging giardinetto or flowerpot, another very popular motif in Cartier’s jewels around this time. An advert from the Illustrated London News in October 1925, the following year, points to a potential date of the reworking the same distinctive alternating baton and spherical onyx beads (the spherical beads nesting in the concave ends of each baton) suspend an 'Oriental vase' pendant in the centre, and a profusion of cabochon rubies clawset in yellow gold appear on an Indianstyle bracelet alongside it, both strongly resembling the style and execution of the present jewel.
It is not known whether the owner directed Cartier to remodel it, or whether the firm chose to of their own accord. In any case, there are a few speculative reasons why it might have been done, and so shortly after it was made.
Firstly, it’s possible that despite its obvious aesthetic merits, the demand for jewels in the Egyptian style declined as quickly as it had spiked, perhaps because clients wanted slightly more vague aesthetic references to allow for a jewel with more fashionable longevity. Certainly, Egyptian Revival jewels were noticeably absent from Cartier’s vitrines at the seminal Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925, the following year. While a few later examples were made, most notably a collection made in 1929 for exhibition in Cairo, Cartier’s Egyptian jewels were already among the rarer styles produced by the firm, and gradually phase out in favour of other styles in the late 1920s. Arguably the last major jewel in this style is a halo tiara composed of lotus motifs, purchased by HH the Begum Aga Khan in 1934. A second possibility is that there were issues with the original pendant design perhaps the pendant was too tall and suspended too high on its paired cords of black silk, which would have made it prone to twisting or catching when worn (a design flaw happily absent from the pendant in its rubyset form). It’s also possible that the faïence figurine was damaged or broken, and because of its nature, irreplaceable.
Finally, and perhaps the most entertaining possibility, is that a change in the media narrative around Tutankhamun’s tomb eventually took its toll in phasing out the fad for Egyptian artefacts in jewellery. As several of the people involved in the discovery died prematurely – the first being Lord Carnarvon in 1923, headlines reporting a curse taking revenge on those who disturbed the pharaoh’s tomb started to overshadow the enthusiasm for the archaeological discovery. By 1932, Boris Karloff’s famous performance in the horror film The Mummy epitomised a new, superstitious fascination with supernatural curses from ancient Egyptian tombs that perhaps discouraged people from wearing jewels incorporating ancient Egyptian artefacts. As Hans Nadelhoffer notes in his book Cartier: Jewelers Extraordinary, ‘… (a) fear of impending tragedy clouded the Egyptian expedition. Collectors disembarrassed themselves of their treasures and rushed to commit them to the British Museum’.
Whatever the reason, this pendant is an extraordinary rediscovery – a beautiful, dramatic jewel in its own right with a potent black, white and red colour scheme, that stylishly bridges the gap between two of Cartier’s most important aesthetics in their most creative era.

In the event that such a lot is successfully bid for by an individual who is not authorised to possess it, that individual will be required to pay for it, but will not be allowed to take physical possession of it. The auctioneers will reoffer the lot on behalf of the buyer in a future auction; or may accept instructions to dispose of it by some other legal means, at their discretion.
1 . Introduction. The following informative notes are intended to assist Buyers, particularly those inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All sales are conducted on our printed Conditions of Sale which are readily available for inspection and normally accompany catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything you do not fully understand.
2. Agency. As auctioneers we usually contract as agents for the seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. Accordingly if you buy your primary contract is with the seller.
3. Estimates. Estimates are designed to help buyers gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular lot. The lower estimate may represent the reserve price and certainly will not be below it. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the sale and may be altered by announcement before the sale. They are in no sense definitive.
4. The purchase price. The Buyer shall pay the hammer price together with a premium thereon of 26% plus VAT @20% (totalling 31.2% inclusive) on the first £500,000 and 20% plus VAT @20% (24%) inclusive thereafter.
5. VAT. (†) indicates that VAT at the current standard rate is payable by the purchaser on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer’s premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The omega symbol (Ω) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer’s premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.
6. We are, primarily, agents for the seller. We are dependent on information provided by the seller and whilst we may inspect lots and act reasonably in taking a general view about them we are normally unable to carry out a detailed or any examination of lots in order to ascertain their condition in the way in which it would be wise for a buyer to do. Intending buyers have ample opportunity for inspection of goods and, therefore, accept responsibility for inspecting and investigating lots in which they may be interested. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the condition of lots contained in the Conditions of Sale. Neither the seller nor we, as the auctioneers, accept any responsibility for their condition. In particular, mechanical objects of any age are not guaranteed to be in working order. However, in so far as we have examined the goods and make a representation about their condition, we shall be liable for any defect which that examination ought to have revealed to the auctioneer but which would not have been revealed to the buyer had the buyer examined the goods. Additionally, in specified circumstances lots misdescribed because they are ‘deliberate forgeries’ may be returned and repayment made. There is a 3 week time limit. (The expression ‘deliberate forgery’ is defined in our Conditions of Sale).
7. Electrical goods. These are sold as ‘antiques’ only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first.
8. Export of goods. Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required for the goods to leave the U.K. and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing the goods in question into the destination country because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Charges may be applicable for export licences. Ask us if you need help. The denial of any permit or licence shall not justify cancellation or rescission of the sale contract or any delay in payment.
9. Bidding. Bidders will be required to register before the sale commences and lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. Some form of identification will be required if you are unknown to us. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone bidding.
10. Commission bidding. Commission bids may be left with the auctioneers indicating the maximum amount to be bid excluding buyers’ premium. They will be executed as cheaply as possible having regard to the reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two buyers submit identical commission bids the auctioneers may prefer the first bid received. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for the leaving of commission bids by telephone.
11. Methods of Payment. As a general rule any cheques tendered will need to be cleared before removal of the goods is permitted. Please discuss with client services in advance of the sale if other methods of payment are envisaged.
12. Collection and storage. Please note what the Conditions of Sale state about collection and storage. It is important that goods are paid for and collected promptly. Any delay may involve the buyer in paying storage charges.
1. Interpretation. In these Terms the words ‘you’, ‘yours’, etc. refer to the Seller and if the consignment of goods to us is made by an agent we assume that the Seller has authorised the consignment and that the consignor has the Seller’s authority to contract. Similarly the words ‘we’, ‘us’, etc. refer to the Auctioneers.
2. Commission is charged to sellers at the following rates: 15% + VAT on each lot sold for up to £999, 10% + VAT on each lot realising £1,000 and above.
3. Removal costs. Items for sale must be consigned to the sale room by any stated deadline and at your expense. We may be able to assist you with this process but any liability incurred to a carrier for haulage charges is solely your responsibility.
4. Loss and damage waiver. We are not regulated by the FSA for the provision of insurance to clients. However, we for our own protection assume liability for property consigned to us at lower presale estimate. To justify accepting liability, we make a charge of 1.5% of the hammer price plus VAT or, if unsold, our mid estimate of the hammer price. If the owner of goods consigned instructs us in writing not to take such action, they then remain at owner’s risk unless and until the property in them passes to the Buyer or they are collected by or on behalf of the owner, and clause 4 is inapplicable.
5. Illustrations. The cost of any illustrations is borne by you. If we consider that the lot should be illustrated your permission will usually be asked first. The copyright in respect of such illustrations shall be the property of us, the auctioneers, as is the text of the catalogue.
6. Minimum bids and our discretion. Goods may be offered subject to a reserve agreed between us before the sale in accordance with clause 7.
7. We may sell lots below the reserve provided we account to you for the same sale proceeds as you would have received had the reserve been the hammer price. If you specifically give us ‘discretion’ we may accept a bid of up to 10% below the formal reserve.
Reserves.
(a) You are entitled to place prior to the auction a reserve on any lot consigned, being the minimum hammer price at which that lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and we may decline to offer goods which in our opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and insurance charges stipulated in these Terms of Consignment).
(b) A reserve once set cannot be changed except with our consent.
(c) Where a reserve has been placed only we may bid on your behalf and only up to the reserve (if any) and you may in no circumstances bid personally.
8. Electrical items. These are subject to detailed statutory safety controls. Where such items are accepted for sale you accept responsibility for the cost of testing by external contractors. Goods not certified as safe by an electrician (unless antiques) will not be accepted for sale. They must be removed at your expense on your being notified. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense.
9. Soft furnishings. The sale of soft furnishings is strictly regulated by statute law in the interests of fire safety. Goods found to infringe safety regulations will not be offered and must be removed at your expense. We reserve the right to dispose of unsafe goods as refuse, at your expense. The rights of disposal referred to in clause 8 and 9 are subject to the provisions of The Torts (Interference with Goods) Act 1977, Schedule 1, a copy of which is available for inspection on request.
10. Descriptions. Please assist us with accurate information as to the provenance etc. of goods where this is relevant. There is strict liability for the accuracy of descriptions under modern consumer legislation and in some circumstances responsibility lies with sellers if inaccuracies occur. We will assume that you have approved the catalogue description of your lots unless informed to the contrary. Where we are obliged to return the price to the buyer when the lot is a deliberate forgery under Condition 15 of the Conditions of Sale and we have accounted to you for the proceeds of sale you agree to reimburse us the sale proceeds. The liability to reimburse the sale proceeds shall not arise where you are acting reasonably and honestly and are unaware of the forgery but we are or ought to have been aware of it.
11. Unsold and withdrawn items. If an item is unsold it may with your consent be reoffered at a future sale. Where in our opinion an item is unsaleable you must collect such items from the saleroom promptly on being so informed. Otherwise, storage charges may be incurred. We reserve the right to charge for storage in these circumstances at a reasonable daily rate.
12. Withdrawn and bought in items. These are liable to incur a charge of up to 10% plus VAT of the reserve or low estimate on being bought in or withdrawn after being catalogued.
13. Conditions of Sale. You agree that all goods will be sold on our Conditions of Sale. In particular you undertake that you have the right to sell the goods either as owner or agent for the owner. You undertake to compensate us and any buyer or third party for all losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of this undertaking.
14. Authority to deduct commission and expenses and retain premium and interest.
(a) You authorise us to deduct commission at the stated rate and all expenses incurred for your account from the hammer price and consent to our right to retain beneficially the premium paid by the buyer in accordance with our Conditions of Sale and any interest earned on the sale proceeds until the date of settlement.
(b) You authorise us in our discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty not later than the close of business on the day of the sale in the case of lots unsold at auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if such lots had been sold at auction and so far as appropriate these terms apply.
15. Warehousing. We disclaim all liability for goods delivered to our saleroom without sufficient sale instructions and reserve the right to make minimum warehousing charge of £2 per lot per day. Unsold lots are subject to the same charges if you do not remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three weeks we reserve the right to sell them and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at your expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal.
16. Settlement. Subject to our normal trading conditions, payment will be made by BACS or cheque 5 weeks after the sale unless the buyer has not paid for the goods. In this case no settlement will then be made but we will take your instructions in the light of our Conditions of Sale. You authorise any sums owed by you to us on other transactions to be deducted from the sale proceeds. You must note the liability to reimburse the proceeds of sale to us as under the circumstances provided for in Condition 10 above. You should therefore bear this potential liability in mind before parting with the proceeds of sale until the expiry of 28 days from the date of sale.

Whilst prospective buyers are strongly advised to attend the auction and are always responsible for any decision to bid for a particular lot and shall be assumed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition, we will if so instructed clearly and in writing execute bids on their behalf.

13. TERMS OF SALE
The seller acknowledges that lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to the consignor at the time of the entry of the lot.
14. DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITION
(a) Whilst we seek to describe lots accurately, it may be impractical for us to carry out exhaustive due diligence on each lot. Prospective buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and they (and any independent experts on their behalf) must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of any description applied to a lot. Prospective buyers also bid on the understanding that, inevitably, representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion shall be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently. Subject to the foregoing neither we the auctioneer nor our employees or agents nor the seller accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, whether relating to description, condition or quality of lots, express, implied or statutory, are hereby excluded. This Condition is subject to the next following Condition concerning deliberate forgeries and applies save as provided for in paragraph 6 ‘information to buyers’.
(b) Private treaty sales made under these Conditions are deemed to be sales by auction for purposes of consumer legislation.
15. FORGERIES
Notwithstanding the preceding Condition, any lot which proves to be a deliberate forgery (as defined) may be returned to us by you within 21 days of the auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If we are satisfied from the evidence presented that the lot is a deliberate forgery we shall refund the money paid by you for the lot including any buyer’s premium provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) you personally are not able to transfer a good and marketable title to us, you shall have no rights under this condition. The right of return provided by this Condition is additional to any right or remedy provided by law or by these Conditions of Sale.
GENERAL
16. We shall have the right at our discretion, to refuse admission to our premises or attendance at our auctions by any person.
17. (a) Any right to compensation for losses liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of and as a result of any breach of these Conditions and any exclusions provided by them shall be available to the seller and/or the auctioneer as appropriate.

20.

21. English law applies to the interpretation of these Conditions.

Valuations are a core part of our business and are usually carried out by a senior specialist or directors. Accuracy, speed and above all confidentiality are paramount.
Written valuations for insurance can vary from a single item to a large estate. Before starting we discuss the various options available so that the valuation is specifically tailored to individual client’s needs.
For valuations of an entire house contents an itemised bound valuation is produced and can be accompanied by photographs when required. In addition to providing an inventory, written valuations can prevent painful arguments with a loss adjuster in the event of a claim.
Woolley & Wallis valuations are accepted by all leading insurance companies.
We offer a speedy and professional service for executors and trustees and provide bound valuations for probate and duplicate copies when required. Since security is often a consideration, we can usually arrange for a house to be cleared and sent for auction, our Valuations Department ensures that executors are informed of which sales are involved and the results thereof.
We also carry out valuations for Family Division, Capital Gains Tax, and Private Treaty Sales.
