JASON ET LA TOISON D’OR Par Henri-Léon GREBER (1855-1941) MATÉRIAU :Marbre blanc Signé et daté 1912 H. 200 cm, L. 77 cm, P. 88 cm A WHITE MARBLE FIGURE OF JASON AND THE GOLDEN FLEECE By Henri-Leon GREBER (1855-1941) Signed and dated 1912 78.74 in. high, 30.31 in. wide, 34.65 in. deep Accidents et manques visibles Cette sculpture monumentale en marbre blanc est l’oeuvre d’Henri-Léon Greber, né à Beauvais en 1855. Il fut l’élève notamment de Frémiet et Mercié. Il exposa fréquemment aux salons des Artistes Français où il obtint de nombreuses récompenses telle la médaille de première classe en 1903. L’oeuvre ici présentée figure Jason, le corps musclé et dénudé, bondissant de joie après son succès de la quête de la Toison d’Or. Il arbore fièrement celle-ci sur le côté ainsi qu’un large bouclier ouvragé posé sur son avantbras. Cette scène célèbre de la mythologie raconte comment Jason, afin de reconquérir le trône usurpé par son oncle Pélias, fut envoyé par ce dernier à la recherche de cette Toison. S’il y parvenait, Pélias s’était engagé à lui rendre le royaume. Cette oeuvre exprime toute la joie et l’héroïsme de Jason qui sut braver de grandes difficultés pour obtenir cette fourrure et laver l’honneur de sa famille.

With the 18th century and the spread of the Grand Tour, the taste for such busts increased, and pairs became an important feature in interior decoration, demonstrating not only the owner's taste, but also his extensive and exotic travels.

SIR GEORGE JAMES FRAMPTON, RA PETER PAN bronze, fine rich even dark patina, signed with monogram, dated 1919 and inscribed with the initials PP within a circle, on Conemara marble plinth, 48cm h, 52.5cm h overall, sold with a letter from Frampton`s widow acknowledging the price £105) paid for the present cast (2) Cast in 1919. Frampton`s Peter Pan by the Serpentine in Kensington Gardens has always been one of the most admired works of public sculpture in Britain, having attained virtually iconic status. Its originality and the naturalism of the innocent child appealed to an Edwardian England in the aftermath of the Boer war and its poetic newness accorded well with the mood of youthful optimism for the new century, in the years leading up to the World War One. How different it must have seemed to that other great work of the `New Sculpture` Movement, Sir Alfred Gilbert`s Shaftesbury Memorial (Eros) of 1886-93. Peter Pan was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1911. It was commissioned anonymously by the book`s author Sir J M Barrie and erected, in great secrecy, on the night of the 29-30 April 1912 so that its appearance the next day would seem magical. `It is placed at the spot where Peter Pan lands for his nightly visit to the Gardens` observed Sir Edward Gleichen (London`s Open-air Statuary, 1928). The Adventures of Peter Pan was published in 1904 and first performed at the Duke of York`s Theature on 27 December of the same year. Barrie gave the copyright to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in April 1929. Frampton`s range was unusually wide, as he was a versatile exponent of several branches of the applied and decorative arts, a medallist, a skilful enameller, maker of jewellery and decorator working in stone, plaster and other media. He trained as an architect before studying at the Royal Academy Schools and in Paris. In Belgium he was strongly influenced by the new developments there. He was in reality himself an English Symbolist and one of the original members of the Art Workers Guild, serving as Master in 1902. He was born in 1860 and died in 1928, having been knighted in 1908. The present bronze is one of the small number of reductions cast for Frampton up to about 1920. The letter from Frampton`s widow, which accompanies the lot is of interest for a number of reasons, not least for giving the high price (£105) the cast commanded: Dear Mr-, Thank you for your letter - I am very sorry to hear that Mr Mitchells Memorial is neglected and hope it will be cleaned satisfactorily. As the the Peter Pan statuette there will certainly be no more of these produced - I have just succeeded in finding a record of what must have been the last one done & the price paid for it was £105. The Statue is strictly copyright & we have decided that no further replicas of it or any part of it shall be made - Since my husband`s death I have had repeated trouble with infringements & have had to take very drastic measures to try & stop the abuse - Some of the statuettes he presented to old friends & some were sold in the ordinary way. I have not had time to trace the complete record of them but I daresay this information will be sufficient for your purposes.

Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal (Australian, 1863 - 1931) "Salomé" bronze sculpture. Female nude first cast in the year 1896, Signed B.MACKENNAL LONDON. SALOME, raised on a circular green marble base, Height 34 cms. Salome became a cult figure after Oscar Wilde's highly controversial play of the same name in 1891 and was banned in England, it was not until 1905 that play was staged in London. The sculpture was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1897, exhibition number 2053 with a price of 25 pounds. Salomé was cast only in this size and was a resounding success at the exhibition and met with critical acclaim for it's symbolic eroticism.

Alfred Drury RA, (British, 1856-1944), "The Age of Innocence", a late 19th Century patinated bronze shoulder length Bust of a young girl, her hair tied up high and with hair band, her face with a calm expression, the reverse signed A Drury and mounted upon a square green variegated marble socle with plinth base, approx 39cm overall height. Note: The Age of Innocence is probably the best of Drury's many fine studies of children, such as Griselda and Saint Agnes. The marble version was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1897, and according to M. H. Spielmann, author of British Sculpture and Sculptors of Today (Studio Special Number 1901) 'still further heightened the public appreciation of Mr. Drury's talent. So widely was it appreciated that when the bust was "published" in a small size a very considerable number were bought up at once.'

A rare Renaissance bone panel of Laocoön, mid-16th century, the small section carved after the antique marble between zigzig and fine gadroon borders, 6.5cm This plaque probably formed part of the side of a casket where bone was the usual choice of material. The zigzag ribbon at the base was a common motif of the period - see the bone casket in the British Museum, illustrated in 'Objects of Virtue', Luke Syson and Dora Thornton, 2004, pls 41, 42. Bone carvings, such as the present example, are traditionally attributed to the Florence studio of the Embriachi family, although it is possibly too early here. The famous Roman marble of Laocoön and his sons, itself a copy of the Greek, was unearthed in a vineyard in Rome in 1506 and caused something of a sensation. This, and other comparable sculpture, led to a sea-change in the way the human figure was viewed after the Classical and characteristic of the Renaissance. It was Laocoön who advised his fellow Trojans to reject the Greeks' gift of the wooden horse. While his advice was debated, two huge snakes suffocated his sons. CONDITION REPORT: Formerly attached to a casket.
