MARDRUS, J.C. and FRANÇOIS-LOUIS SCHMIED, illustrator.Histoire charmante de l'adolescente sucre d'amour, grande Conte oriental inédit. Paris: F.L. Schmied, 1927. From the edition of 25 copies printed on japon and hand-colored in the atelier of Jean Dunand, this is copy XXII, signed in pencil by Schmied. Full burgundy morocco by George Cretté, successor to Marius Michel, spine gilt-lettered, blue morocco doublures, watered silk endleaves, marbled paper flyleaves, stamp-signed by the binder on upper turn-in, all edges gilt; in felt-lined slipcase. 10 3/4 x 8 3/8 inches (27.5 x 21.5 cm); illustrated by François-Louis Schmied, with hand-colored and gilt wood-engravings comprising an illustrated cover, 7 full-page illustrations all signed by Schmied in pencil, a large folding plate forming a triptych also signed, 29 horizontal bands (most of them large headers), 32 decorated initials or small vignettes in the text, 6 small vertical bands, and numerous colored line-fillers and letters. Spine sunned, rubbing to joints, the slipcase rubbed. Internally, a small crease to the margin of the folding plate and light rubbing at the fold, but in all internally a very pretty copy.This work is not to be confused with the limited edition of 170 copies that was issued the same year on regular paper with a similar imprint. The illustrations and decorations here are entirely different (and far more numerous). All the decorative elements and illustrations were hand-colored in the studio of the great lacquerist and interior designer Jean Dunand. This is one of the true masterpieces of Art Deco bookmaking, and it is arguably one of the most beautiful books of the century.Schmied was the best-known book designer of the Art Deco period in France, widely recognized as a master on both sides of the Atlantic. The economic deterioration worldwide that followed the 1929 Wall Street crash eroded the market for his books, and by the mid-thirties he was impoverished. The French government provided a post for him in Morocco, and his later works drew on the landscape there, see for example his 1936 Grand-Atlas Sud-Marocain, printed in color wood-engraving by his son Théo. In 1941, ministering to victims of an outbreak of plague in Tahannaout, not far from Marrakech he succumbed to the disease and died. Carteret IV, 263; Nasti B10 (both editions).No condition report?

LANSDOWNE, J. FENWICKRare Birds of China. London: Kennedy Fine Arts, (1992). Copy 70 of 100, with each plate signed in pencil and thus numbered, and the same numeration in the companion text volume. Loose sheets in the elephant folio blue fabric case of publication, the text in a companion volume in wrappers laid-in, the prospectus included; the whole protected in the canvas sleeve of issue. 32 x 25 inches (81 x 63 cm); 32 superb color collotypes after the original watercolor paintings, printed on Fabriano paper; each plate is laid into a special printed Japanese paper sleeve with the plate name. Fine; Offered with the original watercolor for the plate of the Fukien Slaty Bunting (Emberiza siemsseni), plate 29 in the set. Watercolor over pencil outline on paper, approximately 28 x 19 5/8 inches (71.5 x 50 cm) sight, signed J. F. Lansdowne (l.l.) and dated 1991; framed. In immaculate condition.The watercolors by J. Fenwick Lansdowne for this work are among the highest achievements of ornithological art. The Fukien Slaty Bunting, depicted here, is represented by a male specimen, distinguishable by its dark slaty-blue plumage, seen in its natural snowy habitat.This elephant-folio-sized set of ornithological plates, a triumph in their artistry, follows in the tradition of the great illustrated natural history monographs of the past centuries, such as Audubon's masterpiece, The Birds of America. The artist, Frederick Lansdowne, was born in 1937 in Hong Kong to British parents and grew up in British Columbia, Canada. Stricken with polio as a baby, he developed both his love of birds and his talent as a painter from a young age, holding his first museum exhibition in 1952 at the Royal British Columbia Museum when he was just fourteen years old. As one of the world's foremost wildlife painters, often referred to as Audubon's successor, he is the artist who best maintained the tradition of bird painting and publishing into the late 20th century. Similar to Audubon, he would both study his subjects in the field and use museum collections of preserved specimens to paint his highly detailed and accurate watercolors. He died in Canada in 2008.The magnificent collotype plates include the following birds: Impeyan Monal Lophophorus impejanus; Temminck's Tragopan Tragopan temminckii; Satyr Tragopan Tragopan satyra; Swinhoe's Pheasant Lophura swinhoei; Elliot's Pheasant Syrmaticus ellioti; Mikado Pheasant Syrmaticus mikado; Blood Pheasant Ithaginis cruentus; Brown Eared Pheasant Crossoptilon mantchuricum; Himalayan Snowcock Tetraogallus himalayensis; Taiwan Magpie Urocissa caerulea; Chinese Parrotbill Paradoxornis heudei; Siberian Crane Grus leucogeranus; Rufous-necked Hornbill Aceros nipalensis; White Stork Iconia ciconia; Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon; White Eared Pheasant Crossoptilon crossoptilon; Japanese Crane Grus japonensis; Cabot's Tragopan Tragopan caboti; Mrs. Hume's Pheasant Syrmaticus humiae; Steller's Sea Eagle Haliarrtus pelagicus; Oriental Hobby Falco severus; Chinese Monal Lophophorus ihuysii; Omei Shan liocichla Liocichla omeiensis; Silver Oriole Oriolus mellianus; Blyth's Tragopan Tragopan blythii; Firethroat Erithacus pectardens; Scaly-sided Merganser Mergus squamatus; White-necked Crane Grus vipio; Fulien Slaty Bunting Latoucheornis siemsseni; Sclater's Monal Lophophorus sclateri; Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis; Brown Wood Owl Strix leptogrammica.No condition report?

Eric SLATER (1896-1963) Tregenna Castle Coloured woodcut,signed and titled, 30x40cm.Eric Slater was an artist who produced more than 30 colour woodcuts between 1926 and the outbreak of the Second World War.Many depict scenes near his home in Seaford, East Sussex, where he lived for most of his adult life. Eric moved with his mother and grandmother to Sussex where he studied at The Hastings School of Art. He was probably taught how to make woodcuts by Arthur Rigden Read (1879-1955) who had been to Japan to study oriental woodcut techniques used by European printmakers from the 1890s. European woodcuts, less formal than Japanese woodcuts, were marketed as affordable art for ordinary homes.Eric died in obscurity with no mention of his artistic talents within the solicitor's notice, but is highly collected and appreciated since. Some light cockling to the paper and a mark to the mount, but otherwise in good condition.

Fine; Offered with the original watercolor for the plate of the Taiwan Magpie (urocissa caerulea), plate 10 in the set. Watercolor over pencil outline on paper, approximately 28 x 19 5/8 inches (71.5 x 50 cm) sight, signed J. F. Lansdowne (l.l.) and dated 1991; framed. In immaculate condition.The watercolors by J. Fenwick Lansdowne for this work are among the highest achievements of ornithological art. The Taiwan Magpie, depicted here, is represented by a male and female specimen in their natural habitat.This elephant-folio-sized set of ornithological plates, a triumph in their artistry, follows in the tradition of the great illustrated natural history monographs of the past centuries, such as Audubon's masterpiece, The Birds of America. The artist, J. Fenwick Lansdowne, was born in 1937 in Hong Kong to British parents and grew up in British Columbia, Canada. Stricken with polio as a baby, he developed both his love of birds and his talent as a painter from a young age, holding his first museum exhibition in 1952 at the Royal British Columbia Museum when he was just fourteen years old. As one of the world's foremost wildlife painters, often referred to as Audubon's successor, he is the artist who best maintained the tradition of bird painting and publishing into the late 20th century. Similar to Audubon, he would both study his subjects in the field and use museum collections of preserved specimens to paint his highly detailed and accurate watercolors. He died in Canada in 2008.The magnificent collotype plates include the following: Impeyan Monal Lophophorus impejanus; Temminck's Tragopan Tragopan temminckii; Satyr Tragopan Tragopan satyra; Swinhoe's Pheasant Lophura swinhoei; Elliot's Pheasant Syrmaticus ellioti; Mikado Pheasant Syrmaticus mikado; Blood Pheasant Ithaginis cruentus; Brown Eared Pheasant Crossoptilon mantchuricum; Himalayan Snowcock Tetraogallus himalayensis; Taiwan Magpie Urocissa caerulea; Chinese Parrotbill Paradoxornis heudei; Siberian Crane Grus leucogeranus; Rufous-necked Hornbill Aceros nipalensis; White Stork Iconia ciconia; Crested Ibis Nipponia nippon; White Eared Pheasant Crossoptilon crossoptilon; Japanese Crane Grus japonensis; Cabot's Tragopan Tragopan caboti; Mrs. Hume's Pheasant Syrmaticus humiae; Steller's Sea Eagle Haliarrtus pelagicus; Oriental Hobby Falco severus; Chinese Monal Lophophorus ihuysii; Omei Shan liocichla Liocichla omeiensis; Silver Oriole Oriolus mellianus; Blyth's Tragopan Tragopan blythii; Firethroat Erithacus pectardens; Scaly-sided Merganser Mergus squamatus; White-necked Crane Grus vipio; Fulien Slaty Bunting Latoucheornis siemsseni; Sclater's Monal Lophophorus sclateri; Black-necked Crane Grus nigricollis; Brown Wood Owl Strix leptogrammica.No condition report?

RUSKIN POTTERY VASE, 1932 impressed RUSKIN ENGLAND 1932, crystalline glaze, stoneware 14cm high (5 ½in high) William Howson Taylor Collection; Ferneyhough Collection, no. 464Victoria and Albert Museum Exhibition of Ruskin Pottery, 1975, no. 68Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery no.116Richard Dennis Collection, Kinghams, 21 June 2021, lot 21 What distinguishes Ruskin Pottery even today is the glazes – crystalline, lustre and sang de boeuf (or high-fired flambé). The latter was created using copper and iron oxides. Founded by Edward R. Taylor in 1898, the studio pottery was then continued by his son William Howson Taylor (1876-1935).  It was located in Smethwick in Staffordshire. Historically it can be viewed as part of a revival of interest in ceramics in Europe inspired by Chinese glazes and oriental forms.  Potters sought to create new glaze effects.  From about 1903 William Howson Taylor developed a range of glazes in particular flambé and for the next thirty years he continued to experiment.  The works he conceived can be compared to those of Chapelet, Delaherche and Dalypayrat in France.  As no one glaze can be repeated each piece produced in the pottery can be regarded as unique.At its peak the pottery had twenty employees, five lustre kilns and one high-firing kiln.  In 1933 the pottery closed.

1300-1000 B.C. Cylinder with fractured upper end; accompanied by a copy of an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: ' Cylinder Seal of Black Stone, 41.5 x 19.5 mm. This seal is cone-shaped -- narrower at the top than the bottom -- and is engraved both around the sides and on the bottom. The top is broken off, and this would have contained a hole for carrying on a string. Around the sides a row of four walking men is depicted. They are shown in schematized shape, especially the heads which are round blobs with a point at one side for the nose. Three hold rods in their raised hand, the fourth gripsa branch with the aid of the figure walking in front of him. All four have three horizontal cuts across their bodies from waist to thighs, and in three cases something flows out behind ending in a curve at the end, perhaps intended as part of their dress, a ribbon for example. This frieze is contained within lines above and below. On the base appears a standing quadruped with a small head and long curving tail. This is an extremely rare type of cylinder-stamp seal, Levantine in origin, and dating from c. 1300-1000 B.C. It is larger than most cylinder seals. The closest parallel is in the collection of the Dukes of Northumberland, now in the Museum of Oriental Art, University of Durham, published in Iraq 41 (1979) p.33f. and pl.xii, no.110.'; accompanied by a museum-quality impression. 26.58 grams, 42 mm (1 5/8 in.). [No Reserve] UK private collection, acquired 1980-1983. Accompanied by a copy of a scholarly note, typed and signed by Professor Wilfrid George Lambert in August 1991.

CALCUTTA - A CASED INDIAN TEA CHEST / TEA CADDY HAMILTON & CO, OF CALCUTTA, MID 20TH CENTURY Modelled as a tea chest, inscribed "Presented to Mr D R Morris on his retirement from India by his many friends in Assam 4th April 1959" also a map of India, "Pure India Tea" and many signatures with presentation case  17cm high Provenance: Thomson & Roddick, Edinburgh Oriental and Works of Art, lot 64, 28th Nov 2019  Hamilton & Co are among the most recognisable names in Indian Colonial silver and were making many of the finest examples still extant of this fascinating period. Their style very much follows that of the British forms they left behind and while they do integrate and meld with local craftsmen and decoration it is there classically George III simple silver that is most commonly encountered. It is quite apt therefore that a parting gift for an esteemed colleague would have been acquired at Hamilton & Co. The tea chest is accompanied by a note detailing all the subscribers whose facsimile signatures appear engraved on the chest and these were all members of various Assam gymkhana clubs in the Assam region; including Sonari Gymkhana Club, Nahahkutia Club, Jorhat Club, Nazira Club and Moran Club. The list is printed on Sonari Gymkhana letter headed paper dated, 4th April 1959.Gymkhana clubs emerged during the British Raj in India for British expats to socialise and enjoy sporting events mainly equestrian. As an exclusive club, memberships offered high social networking for both business and pleasure. The Sonari Gymkhana Club was built in 1945 by the tea planters, with Assam, the largest tea producing state in India. The chest is a wonderful culmination of the importance of tea to India and the importance of Mr. Morris to the Assam area and the British Raj.
