A Mexican Feather Mosaic Picture,

St Christopher carrying the Christ child and a palm frond in landscape within a scroll and geometric border 29cm by 20cm

Having flourished as an Aztec art form in pre-Columbian Mexico, the Spanish colonists prevented the Amantecas, or feather artists, from continuing to produce their traditional indigenous subjects, however they did encourage them to produce Christian subjects. In the 16th century many such pieces were sent to Europe to show the quality of this exotic art and also to represent the progress made in the conversion of the New World to Christianity.

Natural History: Two Late 19th Century Armorial Green Sea Turtle Shells (Chelonia Mydas), two very large adult Green Sea turtle shells, each painted

Tyerman example 72.5cm by 91cm

Warrenne example 75.5cm by 92cm

With CITES A10 (non-transferable) licence nos. 627004/01 and 627033/02

Of the two, one is marked with the coat of arms of the Tyerman family and the other the assumed coat of arms of the Warren family. It is a possibility that the shells relate to husband and wife, Albert Henry Warren of Chelsea (1830-1911), and Augusta Warren née Tyerman (18311909). Albert Henry Warren was described in the census as an “Artist and Ornamental Designer” and wrote A Guide to Beginners on the Art of Illuminating (1860) which advises students on “heraldic methods of expressing colours”. Warren was the son of Henry Warren (1794–1879), onetime President of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and a painter specialising in oriental subjects inspired by David Roberts RA RBA who was famous for his works depicting Tangiers, Egypt, Nubia, the Sinai, Jordan, and Lebanon.

It is a possibility that Albert Henry Warren painted on these Green Sea Turtle shells possibly to homage his father’s presidency of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour and his father’s celebrated picture, The Return of the Pilgrims from Mecca, c. 1847-1848 which was praised for its “Eastern and Egyptian character” (Literary Gazette and Journal of Belles Lettres, Arts, Sciences, &c., 1848). See Christie’s, London, 29 April 2019, Orientalist Art, lot 1. The Loggerhead Sea Turtle is native to the Mediterranean Sea which borders the northern coast of Egypt and the eastern shore of Lebanon – places Warren’s father made a successful career painting. By doing so, Warren may well be aligning himself closer to his father’s oriental art career, and therefore position in the echelons of London’s art society, while insinuating his family’s name as that of an ancient family. Warren after all was fascinated in heraldry reflecting wider middle-and upper-class Victorian fascinations of heraldic symbols and meanings.

In Fairbairn’s Book of Crests, 1905 ed, p. 37., it records a coat of arms for a ‘Warren-Warren, John Rosier, Esquire’ formed from the Warren coat of arms and Tyerman coat of arms. John Rosier Warren was born in 1862 and was the son of Albert and Augusta Warren.
