H. Baille. It is noted he was active in Paris between 1777 and 1789. The dial is also signed by Joseph Coteau (1740-1801), one of the most important émailleurs of this period, who executed enamelled dials and decorative plaques for clocks of significance. The mounted figures are after those by Louis-Simon Boizot, sculpteur du roi, who became Director of Sculpture at Sèvres in 1773 until his death in 1809. He is renowned for producing some of the firm's most important recorded works whilst working against a backdrop of turmoil and upheaval. A similar clock of the same period also mounted with Sèvres soft paste figures resides in the Royal Collection, formerly at Carlton House in the Prince of Wales's Dressing Room, RCIN 30118.
ANGELA CONNER (BRITISH B. 1935) COUNTERPOISE Onyx marble dust suspended in resin and stainless steel Diameter: 204cm (80¼in.) Executed in 1996 in an edition of 8. Provenance: Direct from the artist's studio collection Angela has always been fascinated by the effects of nature on both the natural landscapes and man-made objects. The present work is made up of six segments which lie horizontally beside one another fixed by a central axis. The work is intended to be installed in the middle of nature and viewed from afar as the wind and elements play with the sculpture causing a meditative rippling motion giving an endlessly varying pattern of movement. 'As a child I was always observing nature, wind and water and seeing how movement from these natural forces could be involved with many shapes.' Angela Conner Condition Report: Please contact the department on pictures@dreweatts.com for a video of the sculpture installed and in motion. Condition Report Disclaimer
AFTER FRANCOIS DUQUESNOY (1597-1643)- A WHITE MARBLE FIGURE OF THE 'SLEEPING CUPID' ITALIAN, 19TH CENTURY Depicted asleep on his left side, bow by his side, unsigned, on corresponding shaped oval Portoro marble plinth 39cm high, 56cm wide overall The sculpture of the sleeping boy God by the Flemish baroque sculptor Duquesnoy in "la gran maniera greca" inspired a series of depictions of sleeping children popular in the 18th and 19th century. The theme of Cupid sleeping appears frequently in classical Greek and Roman art, later becoming a universal symbol of absent or languishing love during the Renaissance period.
CHARLES-AUGUSTE FRAIKIN (BELGIAN 1817-1893) A RARE MARBLE FIGURAL GROUP 'THE CRADLE OF LOVE' MID 19TH CENTURY Carrara marble, sleeping child on shell set on a triform base with carved dolphins, signed, on a painted simulated marble octagonal pedestal Group 65cm high, 79cm wide, 130.5cm high overall Provenance: Possibly the 4th Earl of Craven and thence by descent Literature: Edward MacDermott, "Routledge's Guide to the Crystal Palace and Park at Sydenham", G. Routledge & Company, 1854. PP.146. Musee Fraikin De Herenthals : Offert Par L'artiste A Sa Ville Natale L'an 1891 : Catalogue De La Galerie 1891, publ. L. Bongaerts-Verbeeck Herenthals. The Belgian sculptor Charles-Auguste Fraikin (1817-1893) was born in Herentals in Belgium. After a difficult childhood and an early career training to be an apothecary. he re-devoted his life instead to the study and production of sculture under Pierre Puyenbroeck. Just 6 months after enrolling in the Académie royale des beaux-arts Brussels he won the internal competition for sculpture and more public success followed swiftly. In 1845 at the Salon de Bruxelles the Queen of the Belgians recommended his work "L'Amour captif" to King Leopold I and Royal commissions followed. The museum at Herentals devoted to his life and work was established by a bequest in his will- leaving the entirety of the plaster casts from his studio. In the gallery guide from 1891 the museum discusses this particular work: "No 11 Amour au Berceau". It recounts how the work came into being after a public lottery in 1850- won by Dr Lombard from Liege. Versions of it were also executed in various materials including, notably, for M. le Baron de Rotschild a Paris. One of Fraikin's first public exhibitions of this composition was at the Great Exhibition of 1851 where his work was highlighted in Routledge's Guide in the description of the "French and Italian Modern Sculpture Court". His work was noted as being "graceful and delicate in the extreme" and being especially worthy of attention from visitors: "M. Fraikin of Brussels, a sculptor who possesses as great a reputation among his fellow artists in Belgium as with amateurs and the public in general... "L'amour au Berceau" or "Cupid in his cradle" "Psyche" and a "Roman peasant woman" are works also by M Fraikin which will appeal to the sympathies of visitors of all age". Exhibiting another version of this work at the 1855 l'Exposition Universelle in Paris he was rewarded with the patronage of Empress Eugenie, who had the group placed into her bedroom at the Tuileries Palace. Sadly, that example was lost in the Tuileries fire in 1871. Condition Report: With wear, marks, knocks and scratches as per age, handling, use, and cleaning.

OF GRAND TOUR INTEREST: AN ITALIAN BRONZE GROUP OF THE GOD OF WAR MARS KNOWN AS 'THE LUDIVISO ARES'Circa 1890 Modelled seated on a trophy of arms, while Eros plays about his feet, 50cm high Provenance: Sotheby'sThis bronze of the god of war, Mars/Ares, is named after the Roman marble version carved in the 2nd Century CE, itself copying a much earlier Greek original of the late 4th Century BCE . The Roman version was discovered in 1622, near the temple of Mars and assimilated into the collection of Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi (1595-1632), who happened to be the nephew of the powerful Pope Gregory XV and owned a splendid villa and gardens in Rome. Coincidentally, he was able to commission Bernini, the imminent Baroque sculptor of the day, to restore and embellish the Roman sculpture. Its profile and popularity were raised by the connoisseur Winckekmann, who catalogued the collection at the end of the 18th Century, and identified this model of Mars as the perfect male beauty. It also depicts the fearsome god of war at a moment of repose, while Eros (love) plays at his feet, revealing a capacity for love. Little is known of the bronzier-sculptor, Morelli E Rinaldi, but examples of this work are usually signed, being part of a group of sculptors / founders working in the Grand Tour tradition, copying Greek/Roman prototypes to the highest of standards to be sold as statuettes, like the workshops of Benedetto Boschetti. condition report:

After Giambologna, Italian, 1529-1608, an Italian bronze model of Mercury, mid-19th century, depicted wearing a winged helmet and standing with his left foot on Zephyr's head, on a white marble and porphyry base with gilt-brass beading, the bronze - 55cm high; overall - 65cm highProvenance: The George Farrow Collection.Footnotes: Note: Giambologna’s bronze figure of Mercury is perhaps his most recognisable creation. The idea appears to have originated in the early 1560s as a commission from Pier Donato Cesi, the Bishop of Narni, for a bronze figure of Mercury intended to adorn a column in the centre of a courtyard of the University of Bologna. The bronze was never erected at the university, and may have been re-directed as a diplomatic gift from the Medici to the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian II, whose sister Joanna was to marry Francesco de’ Medici. The present model more closely follows a slight re-working of the theme which was executed by Giambologna and erected at the Villa Medici by 1580. That bronze is housed today in the Bargello, Florence (illustrated in C. Avery, Giambologna – The Complete Sculpture, Oxford, 1987, no. 34, pp. 124-127, 130 and 256, pls. 14-15).Condition Report: The raised right arm is separately cast with a join below the shoulder. The fore finger of the right hand is bent out of its usual alignment. A spot of tarnishing beneath the wing of the right foot. A very small plugged sprue hole to the right buttock. The upper left leg with a barely visible line. The caduceus is slightly bent. The base with ingrained dirt to the white marble elements. The gilded brass mount is tarnished. The bronze is attached by two later screw threads. The nut to one of these screws does not engage but the statue is stable.

This sculpture exemplifies the Hellenistic style's emphasis on capturing realism and individuality, as well as the portrayal of complex emotions.The Statue of a Seated Woman is a marble sculpture depicting a woman seated in a relaxed posture, her body gently leaning to one side with her legs crossed elegantly. Her facial features are rendered with remarkable detail, conveying a sense of introspection and emotion.

The absence of idealized proportions and the focus on naturalistic details distinguish this work as characteristic of the Hellenistic period.This statue is believed to represent a goddess, nymph, or possibly a mortal woman depicted in a divine or heroic context.
