For our final Decorative Arts auction for 2022, we are very pleased to present another that maintains Leonard Joel’s long-standing place as the home of diverse and interesting private collections large and small.
The auction opens on a bright musical note with guitars from a private collection including fine examples by leading European luthiers.
In glass, we are privileged to have another private collection of Georgian drinking glasses assembled in the 1980s and ‘90s (lots 18–32), together with good 1920s and ’30s examples of Lalique (lots 36 and 38), while the porcelain includes important and fine late nineteenth and early twentieth century Worcester and Doulton pieces by their leading decorators.
The outstanding success in our August auction of the Laidlaw suite by Robert Prenzel confirmed the appetite of keen and knowledgeable private collectors for important examples of Australian decorative arts with impeccable provenance. We continue very much in that vein in this auction with further important examples of Prenzel’s work from the estate of the late John Gidney Pennell and other private collections (lots 62–70) – all of these having been acquired directly from Prenzel and now being sold from the families of the original owners. Complementing this group is a superb panel by John Kendrick Blogg (lot 71), arguably the one Australian carver of the same period to rival Prenzel in skill.
Our group of exceptional Australian decorative arts is rounded out with early Australian silver (lots 60 and 61): the 1875 ‘Geelong College Cup’, almost certainly by Edward Fischer, and a claret jug by William Edwards made in 1861, a few years earlier than similar jugs by Edwards held by the National Gallery of Australia and National Gallery of Victoria – another piece that has remained in the family of its first owner until now.
The particularly good group of bronze sculpture in this auction includes a fine and rare 1920s example of Chiparus’s ‘Vedette’ (lot 220), a collection of nineteenth and early twentieth century French bronzes, and, from the same estate, a large and striking work by the contemporary American sculptor, Richard MacDonald (lot 223).
In furniture and decorative objects, we offer a rich and diverse range, from seventeenth and eighteenth century oak, including several classic country pieces of the kind now so popular in contemporary settings (lots 136 and 147, for example) to fine nineteenth century pieces, including signed cabinets by Gillows, Holland & Sons, and the Parisian maker Chevrie (lots 120, 122, and 172). Other impressive pieces for the house and garden include an Aubusson tapestry, fine antique Persian carpets, and a pair of magnificent marble garden urns.
Enjoy!

PROVENANCE: Acquired directly from Robert Prenzel in the 1920s by Gordon Gidney, Melbourne Thence by descent to the late John Gidney Pennell
OTHER NOTES:
The origin, meaning, and variety of Prenzel’s 1920s portraits of indigenous Australian men and women is discussed by Terence Lane in his Robert Prenzel, 1866-1941: His Life and Work (National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 1994), pp 37-40.
After discussing the most commonly repeated type of these portraits (of which lots 66 and 68 in the present auction are examples), Lane referred to and illustrated a portrait panel of an indigenous woman, named ‘Juanju’ by Prenzel, that Lane described as ‘apparently unique’ in Prenzel’s oeuvre (Lane, pp. 39-40, figs 69 and 70). In fact, examination of Lane’s two illustrations indicates that these show not one but two different panels, while the present lot (apparently never intended to be mounted on a panel, given the presence of Prenzel’s exuberant signature to the reverse) is another still.
Nevertheless, while Prenzel’s ‘Juanju’ portrait was not unique, examples of it are evidently extremely rare; the photographs of ‘Juanju’ works reproduced by Lane are both early, near contemporary with the works themselves, and no record of a more recent appearance of a ‘Juanju’ has been found.

PROVENANCE:
Galerie d’Art (Barry Garside), Perth, WA, 1979 (with the present title), sold to Hylton Grimmer Sold from the Estate of Hylton Grimmer, Leonard Joel, Decorative Arts, 8 August 2022, lot 210
OTHER NOTES: In juxtaposing a fit, strong working man with the recruiting poster on the wall behind him, Silas here represents a prominent theme in the early stages of the First World War: the need for the Allies’ working men to become fighting men.
Comparison with photographs of Silas suggests that this is a self-portrait. Silas, who is known to have been patriotic, joined the Australian Imperial Force in October 1914, the year this work was painted. If this is a self-portrait, it seems likely to be associated with that event. The poster depicted appears to be French (the word ‘patria’ – mostly commonly seen in this context in the phrase, ‘pro patria’, ‘for one’s country’ – being spelled here in French, ‘patrie’), suggesting that Silas, like many others, was moved to action by the fate of Belgium and France in August and September 1914.
Some months later, Silas was amongst those who went ashore at Gallipoli early in the morning of 25 April, 1915, following which he became one of the very few artists to paint works depicting the Gallipoli campaign from first-hand experience. $2,000-4,000

Octavo, in the publisher’s original blocked green cloth with gilt-lettered and decorated spine [Freeman’s variant a], the publisher’s catalogue at the end dated January, 1860
The first edition of Darwin’s revolutionary landmark work was published in late November 1859 in an edition of 1,250 and quickly sold out, examples of the first edition being now extremely rare and valuable. To meet demand, a second, revised edition was quickly prepared. The first impression of the second edition, published in late 1859, is also rare. The second impression of the second edition - of which the present lot is an example - was published in early 1860, just three months after the first edition, and is generally regarded as the earliest available edition of the work.
