A FINE LATE 19TH CENTURY 'EN TREMBLANT' FLORAL SPRAY CORSAGE ORNAMENT/BROOCH, CIRCA 1880The old cushion and rose-cut diamond flowerhead mounted en tremblant, the foliage similarly-set, mounted in silver and gold, diamonds approximately 6.50cts in total, French assay marks, numbered 9308, within later fitted case by 'Moira Fine Jewellery, 11 New Bond Street, London W1', detachable into two parts, length together: 15cm, shorter: 9cm* With maker's mark 'AF' partly rubbed off, possibly for Alphonse Fouquet 1828-1911Alphonse Fouquet (1828 - 1911), father of the better-known Georges Fouquet, was a French jeweller who began his career serving as an apprentice in Paris at the age of eleven. Alphonse was an obvious natural talent and in spite of years of abuse under his master, Henri Meusnier, he eventually forged a name for himself and in 1860 opened his own atelier. Here he specialised in the creation of Renaissance revival jewellery featuring sphinxes, nymphs and other mythological creatures. However, it is clear that Alphonse was also known to produce the fashionable “en tremblant” corsage ornaments whose popularity had continued to soar throughout the nineteenth century. A similar brooch to this lot was sold at Sotheby’s New York earlier this year. From the personal collection of jeweller to the stars Fred Leighton, it sold for USD 12,500 (c. € 10,775).

A large English turned and carved painted 18th century wooden doll, with inset dark glass eyes, painted and stitched brows and eye lashes, bright pink cheeks, the arms of stuffed cotton and painted wood with elongated fingers, the white painted legs jointed at thigh and knee with carved calves, with high-piled dark brown stuffed wool wig elaborately arranged in curls falling to the shoulders, wearing original yellow striped silk open robe with train edged with puckered silk net and green silk petticoat trimmed with later cream silk bobbled braid and fine ruched net, the bodice over boned blue corset, striped silk muslin shawl, elaborate sash and cap trimmed with feathers, bows, gauze and fringing, a corsage of artificial flowers, ribbon at neck, a cotton shift, stiffened short petticoat, scalloped cut linen petticoat, knitted cotton stocking and flat heeled leather shoe - 24in. (61cm.) high (missing one lower leg, replaced chip to forehead, rubbed nose and lips, some varnish missing from forehead, missing tips of two fingers and some silk perishing)Family history dictates that this group of dolls and textiles, lots 309 to 315, belonged to Isabella Byne, who was born in 1745 and died in 1797, aged 52. She married Ralph Carr in 1758, aged just 13. From research, it appears that Isabella had five children, including three girls: Isabella Carr, born in 1760, Annabella Carr, born in 1763 and Harriet Carr, born in 1771. Therefore it is most probable that the three dolls, dating from around 1760 and the 1780s, were purchased either for these girls or purchased and kept by Isabella as mementos of the girls. They have always passed down the female line, staying in the same family for the last 250 years: Isabelle Carr, née Byne. Harriet Cheney, née Carr – wife of General Cheney of Langley, Derbyshire and Badger, Shropshire. Frederica Capel-Cure, née Cheney - wife of George Capel-Cure. They have remained in the Capel-Cure family home, Blake Hall at Ongar in Essex, since the late 19th Century. Special Auction Services would like to thank Olivia Bristol and Patricia Frost for their kind assistance in cataloguing this collection.
