Furniture and Works of Art 1-407

Lot 1 A large and impressive Louis XVI gilt-bronze cartel clock, having a convex enamel dial inscribed ‘Louis Montjoye, Aaria’, supporting a French drum movement striking on a bell, the case crest with a sunburst over a cherub seated in a carriage drawn by two doves, scrolling foliage and a seated nude and cherub, 120cm high dial 21.5cm diameter £5,000 - 8,000 Louis Montjoye (1728-c.1815) As an horological expert, Montjoye’s name is often associated with some of the finest Louis XVI clocks. The son of Jacques and Marie-Madeleine née Langlois, he was apprenticed to Michel Mathurin Guery in 1736. In 1748 he was received as a Paris maitre at which date he moved from Quai Pelletier to rue Dauphine; 1758 saw him established at rue de la Vieille Draperie and 1772 at rue Galande. He lived well into old age and died circa 1815 at Jouy-le-Chatel; his sons Louis II (d. before 1783) and Joseph-Bernard (d. after 1817) were both watch-case makers. Much of Montjoye’s work was supplied to the marchands-merciers, especially Pierre-Simon La Hoguette and Dominiqu Daguerre, and through them was acquired by such figures as the duc de Richelieu, the duchess de Mazarin, the marquise de Montesquiou, the comte de Vaudreuil and the Maergravine von Baden. Today examples of his work can be found among important collections including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Sahringen Museum Baden-Baden, the Huntington Collection San Marineo, California, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Lot 377 A carved marble figure by Pietro Tenerani (Italian, 1789-1869), ‘Psyche in a Faint’, 1860, carved marble, signed and dated, 110cm wide 66cm deep 114cm high, together with a stone slab, 123 x 67cm (2) £5,000 - 8,000 Provenance: Recently recovered from the garden of a country house in East Anglia, having been in the same family ownership for fifty years. This sculpture depicts a scene from Apuleius’ Metamorphoses, the moment that Psyche opens Proserpina’s beauty ointment, having been sent into the underworld to collect it by the jealous Venus. In spite of being told not to, Psyche’s curiosity gets the better of her and she opens the flask, instantly falling into a deep slumber or faint. The flask can be seen at the subject’s feet, the cover falling from her hand. Tenerani revisited this subject on at least seven other occasions; he was fascinated with trying to capture the languid fluidity of the fainting body, setting a fleeting moment in stone. Other examples of this work can be found in prominent international collections, perhaps the most famous being the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.

Waterhouse, Esq., R.A.’, Mrs George Packham; presented to her by Mrs L A Duran; by descent to Mrs M Duran in 1980. The story of Psyche, like many Greek myths, is one of great drama and passion. Psyche, a mortal princess, is cursed by Venus who is jealous of her beauty, which has inspired many to worship her rather than pay their respects to Venus. She sends her son Cupid to shoot an arrow at her to make her fall in love with a monstrous creature. Instead, Cupid scratches himself and falls in love with Psyche. Abandoned by her family, she is saved by Zephyrus, god of the west wind, and carried away to Cupid’s palace where she is waited on by invisible servants. There, Cupid visits her every night but she is not allowed to see his face. Encouraged by her jealous sisters, she lights a lamp one night to see her lover’s face and injures Cupid in the process by dropping hot oil on him and he flees. She travels the earth searching for him and entreats Venus to help her. Venus instead sends her on a series of impossible tasks, the fourth of which is to take a golden box to the underworld to obtain a dose of beauty from Proserpine. She is told not to look in the box. Like Pandora, however, she cannot resist and opens the box, finding within it not beauty, but sleep, and she falls into a deep slumber. Cupid eventually finds her, takes her to Zeus, who allows her to become a goddess and marry Cupid on equal terms. Waterhouse painted many mythological subjects including several depictions of Psyche: Psyche Entering Cupid’s Garden, 1904 (Harris Museum and Art Gallery) and Psyche opening the Golden Box, exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1903 (private collection). The finished picture shows Psyche, seated in a dark wood, bending her head low as she peers into the slightly open box. A small plume of smoke rises from the interior. Fewer than 150 preparatory sketches by Waterhouse are known. They consist mainly of model’s heads - generally the most important element of the painting - in chalks. Here we have a typical preparatory sketch, confidently exploring the composition with fluid strokes, exquisitely modelling the flesh of the shoulder and back of the model. Not much is known about Waterhouse’s models and while it has been argued that he had a single muse who he returned to repeatedly over the decades (Miss Muriel Foster has been identified as a contender), it may also be the case that he chose a series of women with the same swan-like neck, doe eyes, modest features, full of understated grace that made his paintings both sensual yet innocent; a duality that has delighted viewers for more than a century.

Van Dyck went overboard and there are dozens of paintings, some in groups, that show the apostles. They are discussed in great detail by Nora de Poorter in the catalogue raisonné published by Yale in 2004. All these are individual heads and none are double portraits like the present pastel. The figures in this pastel are similar to Simon and Jude (Judas Thaddeus) but they are by no means identical. The figure types are very similar, but the poses adjusted, and they are inspired by Van Dyck, but not copied from him.

Lot 621 George Percy Jacomb-Hood MVO RBA (1857-1929) ‘A very gallant gentleman’, Captain Lawrence Titus Oates walking out into the night, 17 March 1912 signed ‘G P Jacomb-Hood’ l.r. and further signed and inscribed ‘Artists’ War Fund/an incident in the S. Pole Expedition/’a very gallant gentleman’/sketch for a proposed picture/G P Jacomb-Hood/ 26 Tite Street/Chelsea SW’ on the artist’s label verso, oil on board 45 x 59cm £10,000 - 15,000 The selfless heroism of Captain Oates is the stuff of legend. Captain Oates of the 6th Inniskilling Dragoon Guards was a cavalryman and flew the flag for the Army in Captain Scott’s Polar expedition. Oates had paid the equivalent of £95,000 in today’s money to join the team. The team left Cardiff in the ship ‘The Terra Nova’ in the summer of 1910. Months later they arrived in New Zealand to prepare for the trip. Captain Scott, who did not want to use huskies, had obtained 19 Siberian ponies from a horse dealer; Scott had sent a man with no knowledge of horses to acquire them, and he had been fobbed off with elderly ponies. Oates wrote home ‘I am not impressed with them - they are very old for a job of this sort - a wretched load of old crocks’. However, Scott was impressed with Oates’ devotion to his charges, nursing them on board ship through a storm when two of them died. When the storms abated, the team set off, Oates taking the oldest pony to pull his own sledge. They reached the Pole only to find Amundsen had beaten them there. Oates now had frostbite in his toes which turned to gangrene. In huge pain, Captain Oates left the tent and set out into the blizzard on 17 March 1912 - it was his 32nd birthday. His body was never found, but his gallant heroism will always live on. George Percy Jacomb-Hood was a painter and illustrator and a founding member of the New English Art Club and the Society of Portrait Painters. The Artists’ War Fund was a charity founded by HM Queen Victoria to raise funds for injured soldiers and Jacomb-Hood painted the present painting to raise funds for this in 1912.

Lot 654 Follower of John Nost Sartorius ‘Palm Flower and foal’ - a mare and foal in a wooded landscape inscribed on an old label verso ‘Palm Flower/the property of Sir Sitwell Sitwell 1802’, oil on canvas 41 x 51cm £400 - 600 The present painting is dated 1802, but this is not the 1802 foal at foot as it was a chestnut filly. As Palmflower tragically had dead twins in 1801, as Sitwell’s only earlier foaling, either the date is wrong or Sitwell decided to have Palmflower represented with Cockfighter at foot, which seems the probable answer, as he was this colour and seems to have had no white on his legs although there is only a sketch of sorts in black and white to vaguely confirm that. In 1802, Cockfighter was still regarded as a champion, although he actually became a very moderate stallion and Palmflower herself left no line behind her. We are grateful to David Oldrey for his kind assistance with the catalogue entry.

TREVOR CROCKER (1934-1995) Born in Croydon, Trevor studied at the Reigate School of Art and carried out his National Service in the Royal Artillery. Trevor spent much of his career at the well-respected London-based design company Castle Chappell & Partners where he started as a graphic designer, later becoming a Director of that business as well as a Director of the Pack Design Company. He was an award-winning Design Consultant who specialised in advertising design for clients such as Hilton Hotels and British Gas and packaging design for clients such as Marks & Spencer, Duracell and Terry’s Chocolate. While at Castle Chappell he also designed album covers for the rock band Deep Purple. These included Deep Purple & The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, 1970, Fireball, 1971, and Come Taste the Band, 1970. It was a contract to design advertising material for Mobil Oil that ignited his passion for marine painting. Trevor was fascinated by large steel vessels and he did extensive work for Mobil and later for Elf Total, not only being commissioned to paint their oil rig Alwyn North, but also designing their annual reports and accounts and their sponsorship related material for events at the Royal Opera House and the Sisley exhibition at the National Gallery. His marine painting work was varied, and included paintings of their fleet for Brittany Ferries, private commissions for yacht owners, as well as book jackets for seafaring tales. In the early 1990s he regularly exhibited at the Royal Society of Marine Artists annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries. Trevor died aged 61 from cancer, leaving a studio of work which is now to be sold. The first selection of work offered here, with more to follow in our Modern British & 20th century art timed online sale, in April.

Lot 906 A Maori mere pounamu hand club, probably 18th/19th century, New Zealand, made from kawakawa pounamu, of typical spatulate form, the grooved butt with a single eyelet, 11.3cm at widest 38.2cm long £1,000 - 1,500 A similar example, named ‘Amokura’, can be found in the Museum of New Zealand collection, registration number ME011850. Mere are a specific type of hand-to-hand weapon of the New Zealand Maori, typically made from a variety of nephrite jade called pounamu, or ‘greenstone’, found on the South Island, and particularly significant within Maori culture. They are symbolic of chieftainship and are said to possess special spiritual qualities. Their significance was such that each specific club had to be hewn from a flawless specimen of pounamu, and was rigorously carved and subsequently polished using combinations of stone, sand and water. Once completed, which, because of its toughness as well as the meticulous and arduous method of manufacture, sometimes took more than one generation, each piece was given a name and passed down through families as treasured heirlooms. As well as having immense familial significance, in a functional capacity, they were incredibly efficient and deadly in combat; it is claimed that, when used by a skilled warrior, a quick flick of the wrist could decapitate a man. It was a great honour to be killed by particularly significant mere pounamu, and some accounts mention captured warriors relinquishing their own mere to their captors so that they would not be executed with any ordinary weapon. The present example is made from kawaka pounamu, which is the most common variety of pounamu, identifiable by the numerous black flecks that run through the stone.

Lot 920 An Italian grand tour marble vanitas bust, 19th century, of a shrouded skeleton, 56cm high £5,000 - 7,000 The notion of the transience of life has been prevalent throughout the history of art, and particularly in the Christian tradition since the Middle Ages. The word Vanitas in Latin translates as ‘emptiness’ or ‘futility’ and is often mentioned in relation to the idea of Memento Mori. Paintings, works of art and sculpture, such as the present example, depicting skeletons, clocks and other metaphors for the passage of time, were intended to serve as a reminder that one’s life is fleeting, which, in turn, would prompt the viewer to live by the ethics set out in the Bible, and remember the fierce judgement that they would face upon their eventual, yet certain death.

GLOSSARY OF PICTURE CATALOGUING TERMS A work catalogued with the forename(s) and surname of a recognised destination of an artist is or is probably a work by the artist, eg. David Cox. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that while a full designation is our highest category or authenticity, no unqualified statement as to the authorship is made or intended. A full cataloguing does not necessarily imply a full warranty. Attributed to David Cox in our opinion a work of the period of the artist which may be in whole or in part the work of the artist.

Bears/with signature, inscription, date in our opinion the signature/inscription/date are not by the hand of the named artist.

Circle of David Cox in our opinion a work from the period of the artist and showing his influence.

The addition of a question mark (?) after any of the above cataloguing terms indicates an element of doubt. A work catalogued as ‘School’ accompanied by the name of a place or country and a date means that in our opinion the work was executed at that time and in the location, eg. South Netherlands School, circa 1750.

Follower of David Cox in our opinion a work executed in the style of David Cox After David Cox in our opinion a copy of any date after a work by the artist

All references to signatures, inscriptions and dates refer to the present state of the work, ie. as at the time of inspection for the purpose of cataloguing.

Signed/inscribed/dated in our opinion the work has been signed/inscribed/dated by the artist

Condition reports are not included in the descriptions.

ARTIST’S RESALE RIGHT (ARR) What is Artist’s Resale Right? Following a European Directive in 2006, the Artist’s Resale Right entitles creators of original works of art to a royalty each time their work is resold, with the involvement of an auction house, for 1,000 Euros or more. This right covers sales of work by living artists and also the beneficiaries and heirs of artists deceased within the last 70 years of the sale. How are resale royalties calculated? The artist’s royalty depends on the hammer price (sale price without any VAT or Buyer’s Premium). The higher the sale price of the artwork, the lower the overall royalty rate. The royalty is worked out according to a sliding scale from 4% to 0.25%. Hammer Price

Royalty

From 0 to €50,000

From €50,000.01 to €200,000

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Artists who are nationals of these countries are therefore generally eligible to receive resale royalties. The nationality criteria only applies to the artist and not to the beneficiaries or heirs. Are all sales of artwork covered? The Artist’s Resale Right does not apply to all sales of artworks. A royalty is only due if the following conditions are met: • • • •

the artwork is a copyright protected work of graphic or plastic art; it is sold for more than €1000; it is sold in the secondary market with the involvement of an art market professional (e.g. auction house); and it is sold in the UK or another country in the European Economic Area (EEA).

0.25%

What is the qualifying threshold? An artwork must sell for more than €1,000 to qualify for a royalty. The law defines the price threshold in Euros and, because the exchange rate between the two currencies changes daily, the equivalent in Pounds Sterling must be worked out according to the exchange rate on the date the artwork was sold.

What nationality must an artist be to qualify? The Artist’s Resale Right applies to the sale of artworks in the European Economic Area (EEA). The following countries are in the EEA:

This royalty, where applicable, will be charged to the purchaser. It is exempt of VAT.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS 1. INFORMATION FOR BUYERS Introduction 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. 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. Collection and storage All Lots should be paid for and collected by 5pm on the Friday following the sale. 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. 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. Buyer’s Premium The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a Buyer’s Premium at 25% on the Hammer Price of each Lot purchased, except for our Fine Wine and Port auctions when it is 15%. In addition, VAT is charged on these Premiums (see below). 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. 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. Shipping Costs are liable for VAT and are payable by the Buyer. 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 condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale at clause 12.4. Condition reports 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. 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. 290

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. 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. Bidding Bidders will be required to register with us before the auction starts. We Reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a Commission bid. If you wish to bid on high value Lots this deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the registration form. You will need to provide us with proof of your identity in a form acceptable to us and such other information as we may require. Please enquire in advance about our arrangements for telephone or online bidding. Please note that we may refuse to register you if you do not provide us with all the information and documentation that we ask for or at our discretion. Commission bidding 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. 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. Online bidding 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.

IMPORTANT NOTICES Removal of Lots 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. Electrical Goods 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. Post 1950 Upholstered Furniture 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. Furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood (Dalbergia Negra) To comply with CITES Regulations on Post-1947 furniture made of Brazilian Rosewood, all post-war 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. 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 §.
