Fourteen54 illustrated leaves from a manuscript of Firdausi’s ‘Shahnama’, the calligraphic script probably 15th century, Iranian, in four columns with 25 lines per page, each with a later miniature painting, 19th century, Indian, painted in spaces left blank in the text, gouache on paper heightened with gilt, image 25 x 17cm, framed and glazed, one painted both sides £4,000 - 6,000 The thirteen detached leaves are taken from a Persian manuscript of the Shahnama by Firdausi, a work completed in Khurasan, Eastern Iran, c.1020 AD. The copy is in a fine calligraphic hand, probably of the 15th century, clearly written in Iran. The fourteen miniature paintings were added in India in the 19th century (one leaf has a painting on both sides), painted over spaces left blank in the text – they are not painted over the text, as sometimes occurred. The scene depicting Bahman giving a message to Rustam is in the style of the Iranian Qajar period (c.1797-1925) and was possibly done in Iran before the manuscript was taken to India.

Diana took up watercolour painting in the 1980s and over the years had several successful shows at the gallery and the Fine Art Society. However, her greatest work of art was her and Jack’s home, which until very recently was hung with hundreds of paintings, prints, and draw ings, both gifts and Diana’s own works, layered with many antiques and bric-a-brac finds, all reflecting the couple’s original eye and lifelong commitment to the arts.

The Estate of Sir Jack and Lady Diana Baer

As the contents of Phillimore Terrace comes to auction, the collection’s crowning glory is undoubtedly the 17th-century Florentine pietra dura panels we see on the following pages, as well as a collection of modern British art by artists including Eliot Hodgkin and Mary Fed den, both of whom were championed by Jack during his career. These works will appear in Sworders Modern and Contemporary Art sale on 4 October, followed by many other paint ings, furniture, and works of art in other auctions throughout the coming months. For more information, please see our website.

For forty-six years from 1970, Jack was married to Diana (née Downes Baillieu), daughter of the novelist Mollie Panter-Downes and her husband Clare Robinson. After winning a Vogue talent contest aged 17, Diana went to RADA where her contemporaries were Peter O’Toole, Albert Finney, and Alan Bates. She bought Phillimore Terrace, London, in 1955, which she, to gether with Jack, used as a backdrop to their shared passion for collecting, from 19th-century French drawings to nautical folk art, contemporary ceramics, textiles, porcelain, and decora tive objects, many of them bought from local antique shops and fairs.

Sir Jack Mervyn Frank Baer (1924-2016) was a British art dealer from the top tier. The man who built Hazlitt, Gooden & Fox into a world-class concern, he is remembered as one of the most enduringly successful and well-regarded London picture dealers of his generation.

In 1973, a merger created Hazlitt, Gooden & Fox, followed by the opening of an affiliate gal lery in New York. It was during this time and the following decades that the gallery and Jack built a strong reputation, particularly for Italian art, and formed close friendships with collectors, art historians, museums and the next generation of art enthusiasts. He supported many other areas of the art world outside of the trade, as a Trustee for Burlington magazine’s charitable foundation, a member of the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art, and Chairman of the Acceptance in Lieu Panel. It is in this latter position that Jack was said to have saved around £150 million of art for the nation, and he was recognised with a knighthood in 1997.

Ironically, Baer’s decades-long relationship with the Hazlitt Gallery began when he was asked to help in its closure after the owner, Hungarian dealer, Max Hevesi, unexpectedly died in 1947. It was instead agreed that Baer should take control of the business, and the result was the ‘world-class’ gallery we know today.

Born into a family of German Jewish émigrés, he was educated at Bryanston School in Dor set, where fellow pupils included a ‘rather frightening and sophisticated’ boy called Lucian Freud, and later at the Slade School of Fine Art. After serving in the RAF during the Second World War and a brief apprenticeship with the Piccadilly-based art dealer Max de Beer (end ing abruptly when de Beer was jailed for fraud), Jack decided to break out on his own, always adhering to his personal motto: ‘honesty before all’.

His early exhibitions in the 1950s and 60s focused on French Barbizon School painters, Italian baroque and rococo paintings, built on a collection of thirty-five works purchased during a trip to New York in 1955. On the day that the Foreign Exchange Controls were removed, Jack quickly acquired these works by less-popular artists including Corot, Millet, and Rousseau for just £10,000 (just under £240,000 today), and by including these works in Hazlitt’s exhibitions, he was able to influence the market and rebuild their popularity.

Lot 106 A set of nine pietra dura panels, mid-17th century, Florentine, in the manner of Baccio del Bianco for the Grand Ducal workshops, comprising eight rectangular examples, each depicting two or more animals, together with a demilune panel depicting a recumbent lion, rectangular panels 19 x 35cm the lunette 16 x 27cm, each in a gilt and silvered gesso frame (9) £40,000-60,000 Literature: Anna Maria Giusti, ‘Pietre Dure: Hardstone in Furniture and Decorations’, London 1992, p.83, fig. 26, p.218, fig.76. The art of inlaying hardstones for decorative use was used throughout many courts of Europe from the mid-sixteenth century, but it was at the Medici Court in Florence that it reached its apogee, particularly under the patronage of Cosimo I (r. 1569-74), his son Francesco (r. 1574-87), and Cosimo’s brother Ferdinand I (r. 1587-1609), who formally established the Grand Ducal workshop, the Galleria dei Lavori, in 1588. In the manner of Baccio del Bianco for the Grand Ducal workshops, these bear many similarities to other known examples of del Bianco’s work. Active in the first half of the 17th century, del Bianco was, according to Anna Maria Giusti, known for simple depictions of animals in energetic and spirited poses, making use of soft stones in very similar palettes to the present examples. In many of the panels offered, pale blue agate and translucent alabaster have been used to form the sky peppered with beautiful soft clouds.

There has been much discussion in recent years of the neglect shown to female artists in Western Art: their under representation in museum collections and the inferior prices achieved for their works on the market, in comparison with their male counterparts. Thankfully the pendulum has begun to swing back and now Kauffman’s work is championed by feminist art historians alongside other female artists. They are finally receiving the attention and status within the canon that they so rightly deserve. Prices have increased at auction and there is a greater appetite amongst museums and galleries to acquire her work.

By repeatedly painting self-portraits and incorporating her own image into her works, her identity became inseparable from her product. Just as Tracey Emin’s confessional works today have resulted in huge media exposure and celebrity, Kauffman’s self-portraits allowed her to build and control her own commercial identity, publicising the virtues she wished to promote: her humility, innocence and her noble struggle between her love of music and the visual arts, which further emphasises her has a virtuous woman.

The work of Kauffman offers an interesting study in the changing fortunes of artists through generations and centuries. ‘The whole world is Angelica mad’ quipped the Danish ambassador in 1781, yet after her death in 1807, her work was swiftly forgotten as fashions changed and the 18th century fell out of favour with the public, seen as too frothy and frivolous.

Angelica Kauffman:

An Eighteenth-Century Feminist Icon 89www.sworder.co.uk

Surveying her career and accomplishments today, I admire not only her talent as an artist, but her ability to engineer her own success through clever promotion and marketing when everything was stacked against her. In a century when it was almost impossible for women to work or occupy any space outside of the domestic, let alone be financially independent and successful, her achievements are extraordinary. Famously, she was one of just two women to be founder members of the Royal Academy of Arts, established in 1768 – an honour not bestowed on another female artist until 1936. Of all the genres of painting, history painting was seen as the highest form and almost never open to the few female artists that found work, who generally would paint portraits or still lifes. Kauffman was unique in tackling subjects of both mythology and religion, often focusing on epic female-centred themes, for example our painting of Procris, shown fatally wounded by Cephalus’ javlin.

Old Master, British & European Art Tuesday 27 September Jane Oakley | janeoakley@sworder.co.uk

The three centuries that cover our Old Master, British & European Art sale encompass a wonderfully diverse array of styles and genre that provide rich pickings for collectors. Steeped in history, the works can transport us to another age and can offer a new dimension to an interior, whatever your style. For our first sale, we have been lucky enough to secure several works by the artist Angelica Kauffman. One of the most celebrated artists of the late 18th century, I have long been an admirer of her, not only as an artist, but also for what she managed to accomplish in a century when achieving anything as a woman was a challenge on so many levels. Born in Chur, Switzerland, but based for much of her career in Italy and in England, Angelica Kauffman was lauded as the ‘Female Raphael of the Arts’. ‘Miss Angel’ was patronised by the most famous and fashionable clients of the day. Hugely versatile, she masterfully tackled different subjects from portraiture, history painting, to decorative schemes, her style uniquely sensitive and delicate.

For this piece, I have chosen to focus on a single artist – Edward Bawden RA (1903-1989).

There are many exciting lots coming up in our 4 October sale, including impressive works by Mary Fedden, Frederick Gore, Frank Dobson, Eliot Hodgkin and Australian artist Roy de Maistre.

The ‘River Pant, Essex’, also from this year, is a little more typically Bawden with the pen and ink drawing, but it has quite an abstract look. He is playing with the planes of perspective far more than we see with most of his landscape studies, leading the eye back and forth between the trees and the water. These pictures would be a great addition to any collection of Bawden’s work as they represent how multi talented this unique and innovative artist truly was.

Although artistic licence has been used for the perspective and scale, this would have been a well-known sight to residents, as the machinery belonged to a local agricultural firm which were regularly seen on Tuesday’s market day.

As I write this, our October Modern & Contemporary Art sale has yet to close for entries and already we have nine lots by Bawden consigned. My favourite example from this sale is ‘The Blue Tractor’ - a linocut in colours from 1962. Here we see the Market Place in Saffron Walden, Essex, with the building of then Gibson & Co. Bank, latterly Barclays. This is one of the most inventive linocuts Bawden created with the imposing blue tractor and plough which jumps out of this everyday scene due to its apparent colossal size.

Edward Bawden was commissioned to produce murals during his career, including one for Blackwell’s Oxford, which was completed in 1972 and can still be visited in the bookshop today. Depicting Oxford’s greatest men, it consists of five joined panels, showing figures from medieval to Victorian times. The work has a fun and creative composition reminiscent of a tapestry. We will be offering for sale a preparatory work (although not used for the final mural) from the Tudor section, showing Bishop Cranmer. This small mixed media work on paper is colourful and lively. It has excellent provenance as it was purchased from The Fry Art Gallery and was previously in the collection of Bawden’s son, the artist Richard AlthoughBawden.perhaps best known for his prints and illustrations, Bawden also created more ‘painterly’ works, and during the 1950s these took on an interesting and unexpected appearance. In the sale we have two gouaches from 1954 which can be set apart from our other offerings by the artist. ‘The Rookery’ is very striking with his dark and dramatic use of line. This, alongside the coolness of the colour palette, results is a stylised and sophisticated work.

Goes to Market Modern & Contemporary Art Tuesday 4 October

91www.sworder.co.uk

Much can be said about his long and illustrious career, but in brief for anyone unfamiliar with him, he was a painter, illustrator, and graphic designer. He both studied and taught at the Royal College of Art, served as an official war artist in WWII and was part of the Great Bardfield group alongside Eric Ravilious and John Aldridge. He is one of my bestloved artists, and with Sworders’ proximity to where he lived and worked, I have been very lucky to see some outstanding pictures by him over the years.

A rarely seen print, it is very exciting to have this work for sale and as we are only a few miles from Saffron Walden, I am sure our local clients and Bardfield enthusiasts will be looking forward to seeing it on view.

Bawden Amy Scanlon | amyscanlon@sworder.co.uk

Another nearby sight is shown in the ‘The Temple of Concord, Audley End’. In this picture, a magnificent tree from the estate dominates the view, whilst the beautiful house can be seen in the rolling grounds. This is a large watercolour, which has retained its lovely colours. I particularly like the way Bawden has created the leaves by drawing small diamonds and triangles, and I think I could happily live with this on my wall.

We are now proud to present items from our 24 & 25 October sale, including two pieces designed by Charles Robert Ashbee for the Guild of Handicrafts - a twin-handled porringer and a muffin dish and cover, the first made in silver with chrysoprase cabochons. Estimates are £3,000-5,000 and £300500 Sidneyrespectively.Barnsley was one of the leaders of the British Arts and Crafts tradition in the early part of the 20th century, and we have a bookcase made by him for the architect Charles Canning Winmill. It was bought at the Fine Art Society in 1986 and comes from the collection of John and Ann Kay, both architects themselves and former members of the William Morris Society. It carries an estimate of £2,000-3,000. We offer our second collection of Michael O’Connell wall hangings, with twenty examples of the paste resist technique that he used throughout his career to combine geometric patterns with heraldic devices, history, mythology and African motifs that interested him. The works range from the 1960s to the 1970s and would complement any modern interior.

Following on from our auction record for a Peter Collingwood wall hanging in May, and the inclusion of a similar example in our July sale, we have another of Collingwood’s works, estimated at £3,000-5,000.

Items were typically originally bought in the 1950s and 1960s from department stores offering an alternative to antique furniture at the time. Oscar Woollens’ shop in Hampstead was an exemplar, introducing Danish and Italian design to British homes, both with a Continental freshness and simplicity that was far from the norm. Consigned to our October sale and designed by Niels Koefoed are a fabulous rosewood ‘Oval Klap’ dining table estimated at £2,000-3,000 and a set of rosewood ‘Eva’ chairs. We are always excited to offer a broad range of carefully curated pieces within our sales, and we constantly strive to push the quality of lots offered to stand out in a global marketplace. Following our growing presence in the trade press, and our new approach to marketing widely online, we have seen an increase in both buyers and sellers from the UK, Europe and the US. We are adapting our format to become more sustainable and are ceasing to produce a printed catalogue, with more emphasis on our online output through enhanced content on our website, social media platforms, and via third-party Weservices.look forward welcoming you all into our Stansted Mountfitchet saleroom for viewing later in the autumn.

Sworders maintains a reputation for the sale of modern design lighting and furniture, most of which comes from private clients who are downsizing or are selling on behalf of family members.

Sworders’ Design department conducts four sales a year, encompassing the enormous variety of 20th Century Art and Design. These sales highlight the various art movements from the turn of the century including British Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau, the Art Deco period, post-war design including Mid-Century Modern through to contemporary furniture and design. Biannually we also include curated sections for Classic Cars and Rock ‘n’ Roll, showcasing the best in vintage and modern vehicles, iconic guitars and musical memorabilia.

O’Connell lived a stone’s throw from Henry Moore at Perry Green in rural Hertfordshire, and the two artists worked closely together and influenced one another. One of Moore’s magnificent screenprints on linen, ‘Two Standing Figures’, is consigned to the sale. Commissioned by Lida and Zika Ascher in 1948 and numbered seven of a limited edition of thirty which were exhibited at the Lefevre Gallery, London, from October to November 1948, it carries an estimate of £15,000-20,000.

Fine Wine & Spirits October - Sunday 6 November Tony Salani | tonysalani@sworder.co.uk

The world of wine production has moved on a little from those early days. Storing grapes in clay pots in the ground over winter and opening them up to discover strange brews lurking, has made way to over 10,000 grape varieties producing around 250 million hectolitres each year, the equivalent of 1000 Olympic-sized swimming pools filled to the brim! This is big business, and when profit is the primary objective, quality and craftsmanship can be marginalised in favour of quantity.

Is it fair to say that you hate all 20th Century Art because you don’t like Damien Hirst and his floating sharks? Assuming that the answer to that question is ‘no’, then there will surely be a style of Chardonnay that suits even the most sceptical of palates. In the hands of a skilled winemaker, this neutral-tasting and acidic grape can become something to enjoy and possibly even savour.

The relative ease with which it can be grown successfully around the world makes it an obvious choice, but it also makes it open for abuse. Wine producers looking for a high volume of easily produced wine jumped at the opportunity to plant Chardonnay vines in all corners of the planet, producing wines with an instantly recognisable flavour profile. That recognition is what still gives it a ‘Marmite’ reputation. The very heavily oaked and buttery wines that were such big sellers in the 1990s were, on the whole, a high quantity, low quality product that were, to quote The Travelling Wilbury’s, ‘overWhileexposed…commercialised’.swathesofthewine-drinking public decided that they enjoyed this style, and producers made sure that it was available by the gallon/hectolitre, it also had its detractors with people going so far as to say that they hated it and would never drink it. It had become ubiquitous and a victim of its own success. With the desire for something different, it had become passé, with lighter, fresher wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio coming to the fore.

Whether it is as one of the grapes that goes into your favourite Champagne, or sparkling wine, as the sole component of Blanc de Blancs. The cooler climate of Burgundy producing crisp Chablis, or more intensely flavoured Montrachet. The warmer climates of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand producing wines with flavours of peaches and melons, or the hot climates of California and South-East Australia producing riper fruits with intense tropical flavours of pineapple and mango.

Embrace the ubiquity of this little grape, and if you are interested in a challenge, the next time you are in the market to buy a few bottles of wine, make them all Chardonnay. Explore the differences and remember that the grape provides the canvas; it is up to you to find which artist you like.

Evidence of winemaking, in what is now Georgia, shows that it was taking place 8,000 years ago. This was the Bronze Age, in the midst of pre-history and to put that it into even greater context, the manufacturing of cheese wouldn’t be discovered for another 500 years! With no sign of crackers even close to being on the horizon.

Friday 28

As a wine producer looking to make money, one of the things that you need is a grape that can grow in a variety of conditions, as this will give it, and your business, the best chance of survival. Therefore, a grape that is as happy growing in cool climates as it is in hot climates, and provides the wine maker with a neutral flavour and therefore a blank canvas upon which to create, seems the ideal choice. Ladies and gentleman, may I present to you…Chardonnay!

Run by Alex Froggatt and Emma Barnett, the Sworders Homes & Interiors department holds regular three-weekly online sales that present creative ways to furnish your home with unique items.

For example, a modern chest of drawers produces an extraordinary 0.32 more tonnes of carbon during its short 15-year lifespan than its antique 100-year-old equivalent - that equates to driving 2000km in a diesel vehicle (or from the UK to Belarus)! Furniture in the Homes & Interiors sale also has the added benefit of being well-crafted from higher quality materials, making it easier to repair or restore.

Alex Froggatt and Emma Barnett | homesandinteriors@sworder.co.uk

Another driving factor of the sale is the ability to offer specialist pieces to experienced collectors. The department is always excited to see unusual items from an established manufacturer or designer, of exceptional quality, age, or with a fascinating provenance.

Our passion is focusing on the decorative arts and interior styling, particularly through the use of antique and contemporary pieces to create a genuinely unique space. Being an accessible marketplace for a traditionally exclusive interior is our prime mantra. Whether it be the classic country house look, a minimalist touch of mid-century modern, or even a maximalist blend of the two – our aim is to provide good quality options for new and seasoned buyers alike.

Homes & Interiors every three weeks

A commitment to sustainability is at the heart of the Homes & Interiors ethos. Now, more than ever, we need to make positive decisions for our planet and lower our carbon footprint. Auctions lend themselves to being a sustainable outlet by repurposing items and simultaneously adding a unique look to your home. Buying furniture at auction rather than from new can go a long way to help reduce the world’s carbon emissions.

Research is an intrinsic part of the cataloguing process, unearthing new finds. Which leads to the inclusion of specialist sections within the sale, such as militaria, single owner collections and advertising memorabilia to name a few.

Antiques for All: Accessibility & Sustainability With Sworders Homes & Interiors 97www.sworder.co.uk

As a team, we are keen to constantly keep pace with the most recent interior design trends, while always having on eye on being inclusive and sustainable, both in our processing and the way we present the sale as a whole. Our mission is to bring in a new generation of buyers to the auction market, who are environmentally conscious consumers, through this focus on fashionable interior pieces which are friendlier to the planet. We will continue to develop the sale and improve presentation alongside the evolving world of interiors.

The copper-red glaze has been one of the rarest and most difficult glazes to achieve in ceramic history. It requires a very strict combination of mixing copper oxide in the glaze and then firing at a high temperature of around 1280 degrees, within a 5-degree-difference range, in a reducing atmosphere without oxygen.

Fondness for the monochrome red glaze endured and the quality of the production was further established during the Qianlong period. Even potters from domestic kilns began to master the glaze colour, almost comparable with the official kilns. The quantity of red wares increased dramatically during this time but remained rare because of the cost and range of technical firing complications. The majority of monochrome red-glaze wares that exist on the market today are from the Qianlong period, and it is still considered to be one of the most difficult types of porcelain to produce.

There are no examples of monochrome wares in this elusive red colour preceding this.

Mastery in Monochrome: Sang de Boeuf Porcelain from the Collection of Alfred Augustus Field

Sworders’ Asian Art department is delighted to offer a group of Chinese 18th-19th century sang-de-boeuf in its upcoming sale on 4 November 2022, from The Collection of Alfred Augustus Field (1898-1977), a pharmacist working in Calcutta from around 1920 until the early 1950s. It was during his time in India that Field developed his love of ceramics and began collecting various pieces that interested him. His collection later passed to his daughter and thence by descent in the 1980s. Each of the pieces in his collection, including three vases, a censer and a brush washer, is applied with a thick glaze of rich oxblood-red colour thinning to white at the rim, typically characteristic for such wares.

The colour first appeared in Jun wares in the Song dynasty (960-1279), possibly accidentally, and surprised craftsmen have been experimenting with the production of this ‘new’ discovery ever since. Because of the extremely precise production technique and high cost, very few pieces were successful and have survived. Most are small dishes or bowls that appear brownish in colour. The most famous examples are a wine jar with underglaze blue and red openwork design from the Yuan dynasty, 14th century, and a copper-red bowl from the Hongwu period (1368-1398) - see The British Museum, museum numbers PDF B661 and 1936,1012.107 (pic. 1 and 2).

The experiment for monochrome copper-red porcelains continued, despite the expense, as emperors wished to use these rich red wares in their ritual ceremonies to worship the sun. The production was perfected during the Yongle and Xuande periods (1403-1435) but was neglected until the Kangxi emperor ordered it to be produced again. A poem by the Qianlong emperor, dated 1775 and recorded in the Qing Gaozong yuzhi shiwen quan ji [Anthology of imperial poems], describes the joy when he saw and handled an example, translated as follows: Its glaze incandesces like the fiery red sky after the rain. Once out of the kiln, it has to return to the flickering flames. The world’s vermilion simply does not compare, All the rubies of the West cannot rival its colour. Place flowers in it and they blush in shame, It is impossible to capture the richness of its glaze in a painting.

After Jan and Craig were married in 1993, their ‘Wunderkammer’ mix of ethnographic art, European sculpture, antiquities and latterly Modern British art, became a regular fixture at international trade fairs. Events such as Masterpiece, TEFAF and BRAFA in the 2000s were supplemented by a popular twice-yearly exhibition in St James’s.

The firm’s rigorously researched, lavishly produced and hugely informative catalogues became the mainstay of many a dealer’s and collector’s library. Writing in 2021, fellow dealer Ted Few wrote that Finch created ‘a unique business which prized the unusual and mysterious over the purely commercial. Adventurous in their selection of objects they were just as imaginative in their presentation, causing regular gasps from visitors’.

Instinct, Scholarship and Curiosity | The Jan Finch Collection Wednesday 9 & Thursday 10 November Guy Schooling | guyschooling@sworder.co.uk Instinct, Scholarship and Curiosity: The Jan Finch Collection 101www.sworder.co.uk

Jan’s collection in our November sale amounts to a celebration of many of her life’s passions. It includes both carefully chosen items of Finch & Co. stock, from Oceanic war clubs to French prisoner-of-war art and Roman sculpture, but also many pieces from Jan’s personal collection. When at home near Banbury, Jan was a keen gardener and cook. A library of hundreds of cookery books and the contents of a wine cellar will be sold at auction, alongside garden furnishings such as a 4ft high saddle stone and around twenty Victorian and earlier stone troughs.

We launch our autumn season with a remarkable sale of objects from the collection of pioneering dealer - the late Jan Ellen Finch (1952-2021). A four-decade-long career that started at Portobello Market in the 1980s is marked in a sale of close to four hundred hugely varied lots, as her husband and business partner, Craig, seeks to downsize and spend more time outside of the UK.

The business, based in Cromwell Place, South Kensington, continues to trade. As many clients for tribal art are based in the EU, Craig Finch hopes to operate partly from Brussels.

It was under Jan’s leadership that Finch & Co. became one of the best known and most charismatic dealerships of the modern era. What began as a traditional antiques dealership (Jan and her mother traded dealer-to-dealer at Portobello), evolved to embrace both new ways of selling and a ‘look’ based on passion, instinct, scholarship and curiosity.

Jan was naturally curious with a tremendous thirst for knowledge, a thirst that she applied not just to her professional work, but to life in general. Outside of work, she and her husband would often be found indulging their love of local food and music in far-flung places. Even during the peak of Jan’s illness, they travelled to Venice for a performance of Verdi’s La Traviata at the Teatro la Fenice.

A rare survivor of the Regency era, this 15ct gold synthetic goldstone girandole demi parure c1820, is composed of a necklace and brooch. The necklace has a centrepiece of three graduated pansy flower head clusters, with graduated pear-shaped synthetic goldstone cabochons claw set to shallow collets with fine bead edges. There are graduated girandole drops suspended below with pairs of baby belcher chain swags, with three rows of matching chains towards the back with large oval cabochon synthetic goldstone plaques to a Maltese cross concealed box clasp.

Fine Jewellery & Watches Wednesday 23 November Catriona Smith | catrionasmith@sworder.co.uk

Chinese glassmakers also produced this form of aventurescent glass, with snuff bottles given as gifts and prizes by the Qing court, having been produced in the Imperial Workshop.

103www.sworder.co.uk

Girandole, a style named after a type of candelabra, and at its most popular during the 18th century, is usually comprised of a bow-shaped frame, with a series of graduated pearshaped pendant drops which were often then mirrored in necklaces and brooches. It’s not uncommon to see partial suites or pieces with their girandole drops removed - which is what has happened to the brooch in this demi parure - often then used to produce smaller items of jewellery. Perhaps the complete suite was bequeathed to sisters, who then divided it between them, but it would have been completed with the addition of a pair of girandole earrings and possibly a pair of bracelets.

Regency Treasures from the Venetian Lagoon

The most common found form of synthetic goldstone is a terracotta brown, containing tiny octahedral crystals of metallic copper, but it is also produced in blue and purple, and instead of copper, contains chromium oxide or manganese. The appearance can vary significantly, with the most desirable material being from the heart of the batch which can have large bright crystals suspended in a colourless or near colourless glass matrix. The brooch, illustrated at the bottom of the page opposite, has examples of this highly regarded synthetic goldstone.

Goldstone or synthetic goldstone is not a natural gemstone or mineral, but a man-made form of glass often used in jewellery, small carvings, inlaid boxes, micromosaic and pietra dura pieces. It is believed to have been created during the 17th century by Vincenzo Miotti, an astronomer and physicist who belonged to the influential Miotti family from Murano, a group of islands located in the Venetian lagoon, famed for its glass production. The innovation so impressed the population of Venice that the Miotti family were bestowed with an exclusive licence by the Doge. There is a legend that goldstone was an accidental discovery by an order of Italian monks who mistakenly spilled copper filings into molten glass, but there is no documentation to confirm this. There is evidence that earlier artisans were also able to produce this material with the alternative names of Stellarta, Aventurina glass, and Monk’s glass, alluding to the story of the accidental discovery by monks.

Georgian and Regency jewellery has become highly collectable over the last ten years, often achieving high hammer prices at auction, and Sworders’ Jewellery department is always seeking fine examples from this period, or even remnants of much larger pieces.

Napoleon became Emperor of the French in 1804 and remained in power through turbulent times until 1814/15. However, the Empire style began to form much earlier from around 1790, continuing after the Battle of Waterloo and through the Bourbon Restoration until The1830.Empire style in the decorative arts did appear later, but the earliest thirty years are considered the finest, when the style was most congruent. This is also due in part to the era coinciding with a peak in the other technical crafts needed to make these clocks, including bronze manufacturing, gilding, sculpting, along with the work of clockmakers who pro duced extremely fine movements during this period.

It is for these reasons that Jeremy first became interested in Empire clocks, the quality of workmanship they display and the meaning behind their motifs, perhaps becoming more than a little obsessed with collecting the rarest and finest models. Two hundred clocks later, Jeremy would like to now hand over some of his collection to the next generation of enthusiast.

Knight’s passion for Empire clocks has developed from a strong interest in the history of the Napoleonic period and, in turn, an appreciation of the quality of workmanship that these clocks demonstrate. This has now been translated into a book on the subject, detailing fifty of his most significant acquisitions.

The French Empire style was an evolution of the neoclassical movement of the 18th century, which took inspiration from the classical art and culture of Ancient Greece and Rome, and to a lesser extent, Egypt. It was adopted by Napoleon as a symbol of his ‘New Empire’ of magnificence for France at the start of the 19th century. The designs and subject matter were grand, symbolic of power and order, and featured the gods, heroes and muses of clas sical civilizations and mythology.

Telephone bidding If you are unable to come to the auction it may be possible to bid on the telephone for higher value Lots. Please note that this service is for Lots with an estimate of £500 or more. The number of lines is limited so we would urge serious telephone bidding only and ask that you be prepared to bid over the top estimate. It is advisable to leave a maximum covering bid in case we are not able to contact you by telephone. All lines must be booked and confirmed in writing before the day of the auction and preferably some time in advance. Telephone bidding involves many variables and whilst we take every care to ensure the smooth operation of this service, we cannot be held liable if your bids are missed for any reason.

Inspection of Goods by the Buyer As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their Goods. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do. You will have ample opportunity to inspect the Goods. You must inspect and investigate Lots that you might wish to bid for. Please note carefully the exclusion of liability for the description and condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clauses 12.2 and 12.4.

The following notes are intended to assist Bidders and Buyers, particularly those that are inexperienced or new to our salerooms. All of our auctions are governed by our Terms and Conditions and any notices that are displayed in our salerooms or announced by the Auctioneer at the auction. Our Terms and Conditions are available for inspection at our salerooms and the Terms of Sale are printed in the back of our auction catalogues. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Terms and Conditions that you do not fully understand.

Agency As Auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the Seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your contract for the Goods is with the Seller, not with us as Auctioneer.

Estimates Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the sale Price. The lower estimate may represent the Reserve Price (the minimum Price for which a Lot may be sold) and will not be below the Reserve Price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the Auctioneer before the auction of the Lot. They are not definitive.

Collection and storage All Lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm on the Friday following the sale.

Shipping of Goods

We offer a delivery service for Lots purchased. Estimates for Shipping Costs for smaller items can be calculated pre-sale on our website under each Lot and are based on value, size and your chosen UK destination. For items purchased the actual cost can be added to your account and paid online after the sale. If you purchase multiple Lots from the same auction, we will combine packaging/deliveries to reduce the Shipping Costs. For lots for which Shipping Costs cannot be automatically calculated, such as furniture, you can obtain a bespoke Shipping Cost from our website to any destination in the world either in advance of the sale or after you have purchased. Estimates of Shipping Costs on our website are based on the low estimate, whilst the actual cost is based on Hammer Price.

Electrical goods These are sold as ‘antiques’ only. If you buy electrical Goods for use you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them.

Any Lots purchased via a live online bidding service will be subject to an additional Commission charge on the Hammer Price payable by the Bidder, in accordance with rates specified by the online service. From 1 January 2020, these charges will be charged at 0% while bidding via Sworders Website. If bidding through the-saleroom.com this will be charged at 4.95% plus VAT. These charges will be payable to us on top of the Hammer Price and our Buyer’s Commission.

It is therefore the responsibility of commercial Buyers to ensure that they obtain a copy of the appropriate certificate, or the certificate reference number, after purchase from Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers. Items are marked with this sign §.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

We may be able to assist Buyers unable to view by emailing a condition report, but these are based solely on our own opinion and are for guidance only and no responsibility is accepted for their accuracy. Intending Buyers are strongly encouraged to view. Condition reports cannot be prepared on the day of the sale.

VAT Items in our catalogue may be marked with a dagger † or double dagger ‡, which indicates that VAT is payable by the Buyer on the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium at either the standard rate (currently 20%) or a reduced rate (currently 5%), depending upon the legal requirements relating to that Lot.

Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra)

Ivory Lots marked  contain elephant ivory material. Please be advised that several countries, including those in the EU and the USA, now prohibit the importation of ivory items unless under specific conditions. Accordingly, prospective buyers should familiarise themselves with the relevant customs regulations of their country and ensure they are able to import this item prior to bidding.

Buyer’s Premium

Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture

Commission bidding

To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all postwar rosewood furniture items have Article 10 certificates. If you are purchasing rosewood furniture for commercial purposes and not solely for your own use, CITES regulations require you to obtain your own certificate. You would need to contact the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (‘AHVLA’) and, as part of the process of obtaining your document, it is a requirement that you have seen sight of the Sworders’ certificate or are aware of its reference number.

Export of Goods If you intend to export Goods you must find out: a. whether an export licence is needed; and b. if there is a prohibition on importing Goods of that character e.g. because the Goods contain prohibited materials such as ivory.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS These conditions of business consist of: 1. Information for Buyers; 2. Terms of Consignment (for Sellers); 3. Terms of Sale (for Bidders and Buyers). 1. INFORMATION FOR BUYERS

Introduction

Please make sure that you read our Terms of Sale carefully before bidding in the auction. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale. Methods of payment Lots must be paid for before they are collected or shipped. For those attending the auction we ask that Lots are paid for on the day of the sale. Methods by which we accept payment are detailed on our Website, including online payment upon receipt of your invoice, and these should be paid by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. We accept cash to an upper limit of 10,000 euros equivalent. We accept credit card payments to an upper limit of £5,000. Usually any cheques will need to be cleared before you can take the Goods away.

All electrical Goods offered in this sale have either been tested and certified safe or unsafe by an appropriately qualified electrician. All electrical Goods certified safe must be re-Commissioned by an appropriately qualified electrician and we recommend those certified safe are similarly re-Commissioned.

You may leave Commission bids with us indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding the Buyers’ Premium and/or any applicable VAT). We will execute Commission bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Buyers submit identical Commission bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can be reasonably ascertained). We recommend leaving Commission bids online via our Website, though please contact us about leaving bids by telephone or fax/email. All absentee bids should be received at least 30 minutes before the auction commences; we cannot guarantee to execute Commission bids received after this time.

Lots which do not have either of the above symbols have no VAT payable on the Hammer Price. This is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. The VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.

Removal of Lots

Commission Bidders should check the success of their bids and arrange payment, and collection or shipping within this time. For our specialist auctions please refer to the collection and storage requirements detailed in the catalogue and on our Website, which specifies the applicable fees. For our Homes and Interiors auctions, items not removed by 5pm on Friday may be removed at the purchaser’s expense and storage charges of £10 (plus VAT) for administration and £2 (plus VAT) per lot per day.

All items of furniture included in this sale are offered for sale as works of art. The items may not comply with the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) Safety Regulations 1988 and for this reason, they should not be used in a private dwelling.

Shipping Costs are liable for VAT and are payable by the Buyer.

All Lots are to be removed from the premises by 5.00pm at the latest on the Friday following each sale. Sworders retain the right to remove Lots remaining after this time into safe storage, for which a charge will be made.
