ITEM: Amulet of the God PataikosMATERIAL: FaienceCULTURE: EgyptianPERIOD: Late period, 664 - 332 B.CDIMENSIONS: 47 mm x 15 mmCONDITION: Good condition, base repairedPROVENANCE: Ex American private collection, New York, Jay Cannata, acquired around 1990sComes with Certificate of Authenticity and Export Licence. If you are from outside the European Union, we will have to apply for the export licence again for your country, this takes 3 to 5 weeks and has a cost of 5% of the hammer price, this amount will be added to the final invoice.Pataikos is a deity from ancient Egyptian religion, known primarily as a protective god associated with fertility and household welfare. Often depicted as a dwarf with a round, pot-bellied body, Pataikos was considered a symbol of strength and protection, particularly within domestic settings. His image was commonly used as an amulet or charm to ward off evil spirits and safeguard the home. Pataikos' distinctive appearance and attributes made him a popular figure in amulets and other small artifacts, reflecting his role in ensuring safety and prosperity for families.In Egyptian iconography, Pataikos was frequently shown with a variety of symbols that underscored his protective functions. He was sometimes depicted holding a sistrum (a musical instrument associated with the goddess Hathor), a weapon, or other items that indicated his role in defense and guardianship. His portrayal as a dwarf was likely intended to convey his unique, supernatural abilities and his role as a powerful guardian despite his small stature. This representation also aligned with broader Egyptian themes of using supernatural beings to guard against misfortune and ensure well-being.Pataikos’ role in Egyptian religion highlights the practical and personal aspects of ancient Egyptian worship, where deities were not only revered in grand temples but also incorporated into everyday life through personal amulets and household items. His protective attributes were especially valued in the context of domestic life, where the need for personal safety and well-being was paramount.

Seltener Puppenautomat Clown mit Besen von Leopold Lambert, um 1890Mit leicht gewölbtem Rücken, Kopf aus Pappmaché, beweglichen Augenlidern und herausschnellender Zunge, Stirn, Wangen und Kinn mit Spielkartensymbolen bemalt, einen Besen und eine Schleife haltend, auf samtbezogenem Sockel, der einen Motor mit vier Nocken, fünf Hebeln und einem Walzenspielwerk für 2 Melodien enthält, in komödiantischer Mohairperücke und zweifarbigem Satinkostüm mit gemalter Partitur auf der Brust und Notenapplikationen auf dem rechten Bein, Höhe 61 cm bis zur Haarspitze, mit Messingschlüssel "LB" und Lambert-Stopp/Start-Hebel, funktionstüchtig, Oberfläche von Gesicht und Händen restauriert, Kopfdrehung stockend, Zungenbewegung inaktiv. - Clowns, die Instrumente aus ungewöhnlichen und wenig geeigneten Gegenständen wie Dominosteinen, Bettwärmern oder Bratpfannen spielen, waren ein beliebtes Motiv bei den Automatenbauern des 19. Jahrhunderts. Hier spielt ein Clown einen viersaitigen Besen, als wäre er ein Kontrabaß. Der Clown dreht und neigt den Kopf, blinzelt und streckt dem Publikum die Zunge entgegen, während er das Instrument mit zwei Bewegungen der rechten Hand zupft und mit der linken über die Saiten streicht. - Im Lambert-Katalog als "Clown Musicien" aufgeführt, kennen wir nur eine Handvoll Exemplare dieses Automaten. Das hier angebotene Modell wurde von David Secrett und Margaret Glover liebevoll restauriert. - Literatur: Christian Bailly, "Automata, the Golden Age ", S. 190, 350.Watch and Listen on:Youtube.com/AuctionTeamBreker Start Price: EUR 3700 Zustand: (2/3)Rare Clown with Broom Automaton by Leopold Lambert, c. 1890With lightly arched back, papier-mâché head, articulated eyelids and darting tongue, his forehead, cheeks and chin painted with card suits, holding a stringed broom and a bow, on velvet-covered base containing going-barrel motor with four cams, five levers and two-tune cylinder musical movement, in theatrical mohair wig and two-toned satin costume with painted musical score on the chest and note appliques on the right leg, ht. 24 in. (61 cm) to tip of hair, with brass "LB" key and Lambert stop/start lever, working, surface of face and hands restored, head turn sticking, tongue movement inactive. - Note: Clowns playing instruments made from unusual and impractical objects like dominoes, bed-warmers and frying pans were a popular subject amongst 19th century automata makers. Here a clown plays a four-stringed broom as though it were a double bass. He turns and inclines his head, blinks and sticks his tongue out at the audience as he bows the instrument with two movements of his right hand and strokes the strings with his left. - Listed in the Lambert catalog as "Clown Musicien", we know of only a handful examples of this piece. The model offered here has been sympathetically restored by David Secrett and Margaret Glover. - Literature: Christian Bailly, "Automata, the Golden Age", pp. 190, 350.Watch and Listen on:Youtube.com/AuctionTeamBreker Start Price: EUR 3700 Condition: (2/3)

R. LAFLEUR & SON, Music Publishers and Instrument Makers, No. 15 GREEN STREET, LEICESTER SQUARE, W.C., LONDON to lower margin, the exterior of the box veneered with book-matched burr walnut veneers within tulip wood banded borders to the ebonised ogee-edged lid, the front and sides with conforming veneers and the rear also finished in walnut but without the banding, on ebonised squab feet.26cm (10ins) high, 58cm (22.75ins) wide, 30.5cm (12ins) deep. J.R. Lafleur and Son were founded in 1861 as musical instruments makers and publishers of music. The were based at Green Street, Leicester Square, London 1862-1911 before moving to 147 Wardour Street in 1912. Lafleur and Son were bought-out by Boosey and Hawkes in 1917 but still continued trading in their name until at least 1931. Condition Report: Mechanism is in relatively clean condition with overall slight oxidation/mellowing to the brass. The comb appears free from damage and it will play with good positive action and clear sound. The bell hammers appear complete and undamaged but are very 'lazy' in their action so are prone to sticking - this is probably due to gummed-up oil rather than being indicative of damage/losses. The operating levers function as they should, the panel around the levers is a little loose and there are no labels denoting their function present. The internal cabinet fittings are present and have probably been re-ebonised. The tune sheet is intact but with some overall browning/staining and has evidence of a pasted label being removed from just beneath the upper margin. The lock to the box is lacking its tongue (previously fitted to the lid) hence is inoperative. Externally the box is in sound original condition with faults limited to slight bumps, scuffs and historic small localised filling within the burrs of the veneers. Condition Report Disclaimer

Three years later he was listed in a trade directory as a horological maker and seller offering picture clocks as well as a supplier of concave glasses. In 1841 a magazine, 'La Presse', recommended 'La Maison Wurtel' to their readers informing them that they can buy watches, table clocks, picture clocks, music boxes, alarm clocks and 'objects of fantasy'. In 1856 they exhibited at the 'Exposition of Delepine of Paris' but unfortunately were positioned within the scientific instrument section to the bafflement of visitors. Maison Wurtel were known to have sourced their clock movements form Japy Freres and the musical mechanism within the present lot can be attributed to Auguste L'Epee of Saint-Suzanne, Doubs, France (who worked from 1839 until the end of the century). The Angelus mechanism is a particularly rare feature which traditionally served to accompany the recital of the Angelus prayer in Roman Catholicism. Condition Report: The clock, striking and angelus mechanisms are all in relatively clean original working condition with the various levers and detents present. The musical mechanism is also in relatively clean working condition with no visible losses to the teeth or noticeable corrosion issues. The clock was in use in the vendor's home when consigned however due to the nature of the item some adjustment may be required to ensure all the features operate as an when they should once the picture is hung securely on the wall. The canvas is in good condition with no visible tears or holes of noticeable repairs. The frame is in fine condition with good gilding throughout. The pine back box has some slight wear/bumps (most noticeable to the back corners) as well as other relatively minor age related faults - otherwise is in very good original condition.Clock is complete with pendulum and two winding keys. Condition Report Disclaimer
