ETERNA WATCHESSwiss Advertising Poster (27.5" x 39")Fine Folded; Artist Fred Dubois C.1930sThis simple yet effective vintage 1930s Art Deco advertising poster for the luxury watch company Eterna is unique in that even though the poster itself is Swiss, the artist Fred Dubois is French and the poster is a German language version. This poster has had some light restoration work to both folds and some tears. But there is still both edge and fold wear, including small tears and tanning. A piece that is a perfect candidate for linen backing. The Swiss luxury watch-making company that would become Eterna was founded in 1856 by Dr. Joseph Girard and Urs Schild to hand-manufacture the inner workings of watches. Due to this modernization, the company found itself at the forefront of watch development, patenting its first alarm wristwatch in 1908, the first of many innovations it would introduce during its lifetime, including an eight-day watch in 1929 and the first affordable self-winding watch, released in 1948. This lot will be auctioned on Thursday, December 7th. The auction will begin at 9:30am PST and lots are sold sequentially via live auctioneer; tune in to the live streaming broadcast on auction day to follow the pace. Note other lots in the auction may close on December 8th.
THE EXORCISTOne-Sheet (27" x 41")Very Fine- Folded; Artist Bill Gold Warner Bros., 1974This simple yet effective vintage 1930s art deco advertising poster for the luxury watch company Eterna is unique in that even though the poster itself is Swiss, the artist Fred Dubois is French and the poster is a German language version.A folded poster in good condition with sporadic creasing, minor wear on the vertical fold, and some smudging in the lower borders. There is also a faint line just below and to the right of the center image, as well as two faint scratches in the lower right in purple.The first horror film to ever be nominated for an Oscar, William Friedkin's troubling tale of demonic possession is considered one of the greatest films ever made in that genre. Its reputation certainly wasn't hurt by reports of preview audience members running out of the theater screaming and viewers suffering nausea.This lot will be auctioned on Friday, December 8th.

Note other lots in the auction may close on December 7th.
STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, AHalf Sheet (22" x 28")Fine+ Folded Warner Bros., 1951Due to the lackluster layout of the one sheet for this film, this excellent half sheet with the cast of characters shown is considered the better among collectors.A half sheet with some issues, including a few pinholes in the borders and three within the image. There is also some edge wear including tiny tears, crimping, faint edge tanning, and some chipping in the right center border. Finally, there is some smudging both along the center horizontal fold and in the red credit box in the lower area. Tennessee Williams' lauded play was translated into an Oscar-garlanded movie by director Elia Kazan, with Vivienne Leigh and Marlon Brando taking the central roles of fragile Southern belle Blanche DuBois and her brutal brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, respectively.This lot will be auctioned on Friday, December 8th.

Auguste Rodin, 1840 Paris – 1917 MeudonL‘ÂGE D‘AIRAIN, 1922Höhe: 63,8 cm.Breite: 18 cm. Tiefe: 18,2 cm.Auf dem Sockel Signatur „A Rodin“, seitlich Gießermarke „ALEXIS RUDIER / Fondeur Paris“, im Sockelinnern „A.Rodin“ mit darüber stehendem „M“.Beigegeben ein Zertifikat des Comité Auguste Rodin, Paris, vom 24. Nov. 2021.Das Zertifikat bestätigend, dass das vorliegende Exemplar in das Archiv und in die in Vorbereitung befindliche Publikation des „Catalogue Critique de l‘Oeuvre Sculpté d‘Auguste Rodin“ unter der Leitung von Jérome Le Blay aufgenommen wird, und zwar unter der Nummer: „2021-6479 B“.Bronze, nahezu schwarz patiniert. Mit der lebensgroßen Figur, die das Zeitalter der Bronze symbolisiert, trat Rodin erstmals an die Öffentlichkeit. Seine Neuerung dabei war, dass er auf Attribute verzichtete, die auf das Bildthema hinweisen würden. Der im Kontrapost stehende Jüngling hält den Kopf leicht nach oben gerichtet, die rechte Hand daraufgelegt, die Augen ebenso nachdenklich wie seherisch geschlossen. Diese Darstellung und der Gesichtsausdruck ermöglichen unterschiedliche Interpretationen, was zusammen mit der Nacktheit damals einen Skandal auslöste. Nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil angenommen wurde, Rodin hätte hier lediglich einen Personenabguss geschaffen, was jedoch vor einem Gremium widerlegt werden konnte, darunter Carrier-Belleuse, Falguière, Dubois etc. Einerseits war die Figur als Erwachen der Menschheit zu verstehen, andererseits lässt sich aufgrund seiner Körperhaltung auch denken, er hielte einen Speer in der Linken und verdecke mit seiner Rechten eine Wunde am Kopf. Die Deutung hat Rodin damit dem Betrachter überlassen, eine Novität, die seit Rodin die Kunst bis heute beeinflusst. Zu dieser Figur, die auch als Mensch der ersten Zeiten gedeutet wurde, hat der 20-jährige Belgier Auguste Neyt Modell gestanden. Noch während der Zeit der Entstehung und zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem die Figur noch nicht völlig fertig war, begab sich Rodin nach Florenz, um Werke des Donatello zu studieren. Zufrieden mit seinem Vergleich, soll er an die Weiterarbeit gegangen sein. Diese Quellenberichte sind umso wichtiger, als auch andere Bildhauer der Zeit in der zweiten Hälfte des Jahrhunderts sich an der Renaissancekunst, etwa an Donatellos „David“ zu orientieren suchten, wie etwa Mercié, Dubois, Falguière oder Saint Marceaux. 1877 hat Rodin die Figur in Lebensgröße im Salon ausgestellt. 1880 vom Staat erworben, steht sie heute im Musée d‘Orsay. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts stellte er sowohl eine Vergrößerung als auch eine reduzierte Ausführung her (1903-1904). 1904 entstand eine Ausführung in ¼ Größe, nicht mechanisch, sondern vom Mitarbeiter Henri Lebossé bewerkstelligt. Zu Lebzeiten Rodins hat Alexis Rudier zwischen 1907 und 1917 fünf Abgüsse hergestellt (Antoinette Le Normand-Romain, Rodin et le bronze. Catalogue des oeuvres conservées au Musée Rodin, 2007). Zwischen 1918 und 1963 werden weitere 32 Exemplare aufgelistet. Die vorliegende Bronzeausführung mit dem mitgegossenen Buchstaben „M“ (= für das genannte Museum) über „A. Rodin“ im Inneren des quadratischen Sockels zählt zu den weit selteneren Exemplaren. Der Oeuvrekatalog 2007 nennt lediglich etwa zehn Güsse mit diesem „M“, die wohl nur in den wenigen Jahren zwischen 1919 und 1924 entstanden. Das vorliegende Exemplar wurde 1922 gegossen. Es wurde von Baron Morimura V, Tokyo erworben. (S. Provenienz).Braun-schwarz patiniert, mit grünlicher Reflexion. Rodin legte großen Wert auf die Patina seiner Skulpturen, da der Farbton einen großen Einfluss darauf hatte, wie die Skulptur und ihre Oberfläche mit ihrer Umgebung interagieren. Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts arbeitete Rodin mit Jean-Francois Limet (1855-1941) zusammen, seinem bevorzugten Patinier. Nach Rodins Tod setzte Limet seine Zusammenarbeit mit der Gießerei Alexis Rudier bis Anfang der 1930er Jahre fort. A.R.Provenienz: Musée Rodin, Paris.Baron Morimura V.

Width: 18 cm. Depth: 18.2 cm.Signed “A Rodin” on base, foundry mark “ALEXIS RUDIER / Fondeur Paris” on the side. On the inside of the base “A. Rodin” surmounted by “M.”Accompanied by a certificate from the Comité Auguste Rodin Paris, dated 24 November 2021.The certificate confirming that the present example will be included in the archive and the publication of the Catalogue Critique de l’Oeuvre Sculpté d’Auguste Rodin (Brame & Lorenceau) currently being prepared under the direction of Jérôme Le Blay with no. “2021-6479 B”.Rodin exhibited in public for the first time with the life-size figure that symbolizes the Age of Bronze. It was innovative that he dispensed with attributes that would indicate the subject of the sculpture. During Rodin’s lifetime Alexis Rudier produced five castings between 1907 and 1917 (catalogue raisonné, The Bronzes of Rodin, 2007). Between 1918 and 1963 a further 32 examples were listed. The bronze version on offer for sale in this lot with the cast letter “M” (for the museum mentioned) above “A. Rodin” on the inside of the square base is one of the much rarer examples. The catalogue raisonné from 2007 only names around ten castings with this letter “M”, which were probably only made in the few years between 1919 and 1924. The present example was cast in 1922, therefore counts to the very early posthumous casts of the sculpture. It was acquired by Baron Morimura V, Tokyo. (See provenance). With brown- black patina and green refelction, which was always very important for Rodin, as the tone of the patina had a great impact to how the sculpture and its surface interacts with its surroundings. From the beginning of the 20th century Rodin was working with Jean-François Limet (1855-1941), his favourite patineer. After Rodin past away, Limet continued his collaboration with the foundry Alexis Rudier until the beginning of the 1930s.

An important mid 18th century French ormolu-mounted kingwood and rosewood centre seconds longcase clock of one month duration, with equation of time, time of sunrise and sunset, phases and age of the moon, calendar, sign of the zodiac and temperature compensated pendulumJulien Le Roy, Paris. The case stamped A. Dubois. The case with waisted hood over a shaped trunk with ormolu-mounted shaped glazed lenticle, on a tapering base and plinth with outswept feet, mounted with elaborate foliate scrolls to the front and rear edges, with boldly cast bands of acanthus and other motifs between the case sections. Stamped on the inside top sill of the base by the case maker A. Dubois. The 11 inch circular dial signed across the centre, Julien Le Roy with silvered Roman and Arabic chapter ring, the half-hours marked by meeting-arrowheads, with outer minute band and inner quarter hour band, set with twin chamfered apertures - between VII and VIII the time of sunrise is automatically shown, the time of sunset is shown between IIII and V. The gilt and engraved dial centre is decorated with an engraved trellis pattern and three shaped apertures: the top shows the age and phase of the moon, the rolling silvered moon and stars showing against a painted background; the central aperture gives the date and number of days in the month, and the lowermost aperture depicts the changing signs of the zodiac as the year progresses. The full annual calendar is engraved on an 8.5 inch silvered dial set just below the main dial and is connected at the rear to a brass kidney which dictates the equation of time information. The time is shown via two elaborately pierced and engraved silvered hands. A blued steel hand with engraved sun at its tip gives solar time, another with counterbalanced end shows running seconds. The weight driven movement united by five tapering pillars pinned through the backplate. The going train of five-wheels with high-count pinions terminating in a pin-wheel escapement. The movement is topped with a heavy steel horizontal plate connected at the right hand side to a pair of substantial vertical steel rods running down into the body of the clock and flanking a movable brass cylindrical rod (with fine screw adjustment at its base); the pendulum is suspended from a pivoted horizontal steel arm which is in contact with the tip of the cylindrical brass rod at one end, and with a sprung arbor connected to the thermometer hand by a silk thread at the other. The bases of the steel and brass rods are set on a shaped brass piece running across the inside of the trunk which in turn also carries an arbor for the thermometer hand mounted in the front door. As the ambient temperature changes, the steel and brass set-up automatically raises or lowers the pendulum, while at the same time shows the temperature on the silvered thermometer dial set into the trunk. The strike train with an outside countwheel and sounding on a bell via a horizontal steel hammer set on a vertical arbor, its speed dictated by a shaped brass fly. 55cm wide x 31cm deep x 218cm high, (21 1/2in wide x 12in deep x 85 1/2in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceGalerie Neuse, Bremen, 1995. Julien Le Roy (1686-1759) was regarded by his contemporaries as perhaps the most influential horologist of his era. He was a superb craftsman as well as a scholar who contributed the section on horology to the Encyclopédie. He was eulogized by Voltaire as the man responsible for the 18th century pre-eminence of French clock making.Born in Tours and trained by his father, Le Roy arrived in Paris around 1700. He is generally thought to have served as journeyman to the Parisian horologist, Charles Le Bon. Le Roy received his freedom in 1713 and, shortly after, set up a workshop in the Rue de Harlay, off La Place Dauphine, where the most eminent 18th century Parisian clockmakers also worked. In 1717 he presented an equation clock to the Royal Academy of Sciences, which showed the true time, the place of the sun and its declination. In 1739, Julien Le Roy was appointed valet de chambre, horologer du Roi, and granted premises in the Louvre, which he maintained in addition to his atelier in the rue de Harlay. Le Roy's son Pierre (1717-1785) succeeded his father and devoted the latter part of his career to the Longitude problem and the development of marine timekeepers.Adrien Dubois is recorded as having worked in rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, first as the foreman in the important workshop founded by Bernard Van Risenburgh I, maître before 1722, (better known by his stamp BVRB). The father and grandfather of Bernard II and III, Bernard I specialised in making clock cases. Adrien Dubois lived with Bernard and his family above the workshop, and when Bernard died in 1738 the probate inventory listed a very large number of both finished and un-finished clocks, clock cases, pedestals and clock brackets, many of which would have been made by Dubois. Three years after his master's death Adrien finally received the accolade of maître ébéniste. As well as clock cases, Dubois and his family were famed for restorations and adaptations of earlier 'boulle-work'. A console table believed to be partly from the workshop of André-Charles Boulle can be seen in the Victoria & Albert Museum, accession number: 1021:1 to 3-1882.Another case stamped 'A.DUBOIS' was sold at Sotheby's, New York, Property from a Distinguished American Collection, 2 February 2019, lot 763.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP Y* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
