Viceregal School. Cuzco. Peru. 18th century."Our Lady of Mount Carmel giving her scapular to St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas"Oil on canvas.128,5 x 104 cm.Magnificent painting of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, patroness of South America, giving her scapular to the patrons of two of the great orders that went to preach in the continent: St. Augustine, on the left, and St. Thomas Aquinas on the right, both Doctors of the Church.This Peruvian painting represents the Virgin of Carmel with extreme delicacy, as a crowned Queen, creating figures of remarkable beauty in a limited space, a beauty understood through the ideological assumptions of worship during the period. This is a refined painting of well arranged chromatic richness, in a triangular composition, with quality in the composition and distribution of two subtle and expressive angels in the sky, .Crowned as Queen, and without her Son in her arms, she gives St. Augustine his scapular, a symbol of that yoke that Jesus invites us to carry, and that Mary helps to carry, a sign of Christian identity. The saint holds a book on which rests the model of a Church, objects that refer to the life of St. Augustine, as writer and philosopher, and pillar and defender of the Church. He considered the Church holy in its doctrine and sacraments, and saw the body of Christ in the work and virtues of its members. We see, on the other side, St. Thomas Aquinas, with a pen in his hand, symbol of his work as a teacher, philosopher and theologian, writer of the Summa Theologica, the Summa contra Gentiles and a great introducer of Aristotelian philosophy.Let us not forget that the Virgin of Mount Carmel is one of the most important Marian devotions in Latin America, as mother, mediator, symbol of defense against invasions and patroness of the emancipation process.The artist is extremely detailed in their brushstrokes, painting the Virgin with an empathetic and serene expression, slightly bent, bringing the mother of God closer, as she rests her eyes on the patrons of two religious orders who kneel at her feet; the saints contemplate her humbly.In short, this is a painting full of details in its figures, attributes and clothing, as well as psychology in the faces, which made them more appealing to the parishioners. It is topped with a carved and gilded period frame that echoes the stripes on the Virgin's habit and closes the scene very well.
Registration No: VY 8502 Chassis No: 623 MOT: ExemptPowered by a water-cooled side-valve JAP V-Twin 998cc engineAero coachwork, thought to have been restored in the 1980sIn current ownership since 2018Started readily and both ran and drove well during the recent photography sessionAn ingenious concept, HFS Morgan built his first three-wheeler in 1909. Based around a tubular steel chassis frame, the design's low centre of gravity and advanced 'sliding pillar' independent front suspension endowed it with superlative roadholding. Progressively developed, the single rear-wheel-driven platform played host to a variety of JAP, Matchless, Blackburne, Anzani and Ford powerplants over the years (though, the prototype used a Peugeot unit). Fearsome competition cars, Morgan three wheelers driven by the likes of HFS himself, Clive Lones and Harold Beart acquitted themselves well on race circuits and trial stages alike (Mrs Gwenda Stewart recorded 115.66mph during a record run at Montlhery in 1930). The Aero derivative soon became a favourite among sporting motorists, and with stark bodywork, impressive power-to-weight ratio and nimble handling was capable of embarrassing far more expensive machinery. Interest in Morgans of this period has never waned and, if anything, increased in recent times - the company’s inspired decision to create a modern three-wheeler having brought the early cars to the attention of a new audience.Manufactured new in 1927, chassis number ‘928’ is powered by a 998cc JAP V-Twin side-valve, water-cooled engine, that features a total loss oil system with dashboard control, allowing a release of one drip of oil every few seconds which passes down a copper tube and into the base of one cylinder from where it lubricates the engine internals. Utilising a two-speed drive, consisting of two-chain drives to the rear wheel engaged by a dog clutch operated by a hand lever on the right side of the cockpit. The front wheels are braked by a lever in the centre of the cockpit with a ratchet ‘handbrake’, and conventional clutch pedal and rear brake operating a leather belt on the rear wheel brake drum. Understood to have been fully restored during the 1980s in the Aero coachwork in which it is presented today, the vendor acquired the Aero in May 2018 from a bereavement sale, when it had been off the road for two years due to a petrol leak under the dashboard.Since then, the vendor returned the Morgan to the road, now affectionately named ‘Frog’ and he informs that ‘VY 8502’ has run reliably and sweetly throughout his ownership. The bodywork, which is presented in Dark Green with Black wings, appears to have been built and finished to a high standard with a good paint finish and pretty detailing, and the Black interior presents nicely too. In the vendor's ownership, the rear wheel spokes have been re-tightened, and a new tyre and tube fitted. Starting readily and both running and driving well during the recent photography session, these Morgan 3 Wheelers have a unique character and are well supported by an active and enthusiastic club.

Registration No: JSJ 241 Chassis No: F311484 MOT: ExemptRare French-built Lancia, 1 of just c.3,000 madePreviously part of a large private collection in which resided from 1998 - 2018Benefiting from mechanical improvement and has tours of the continent and the UK while in the vendor's ownershipA nicely presented, older restored exampleResponsible for some of the most innovative cars ever designed, Lanica has a proud engineering heritage. Introduced in 1933, the Augusta featured Lancia’s trademark sliding-pillar independent front suspension and a compact V4 engine producing 35bhp and a quoted top speed of 65mph. Manufactured in Turin and at Bonneuil-sur-Marne, Lancia’s first factory outside Italy, it was rechristened the Belna for the French market. Approximately 3,000 Belnas were made before production ceased during 1938, with all but 500 or so being saloons.Dating from 1935, this very rare French-built Lancia is finished in Navy Blue over Sky Blue with a contrasting Burgundy leather interior. Self-evidently the subject of previous restoration work, the Belna retains the 1196cc V4 engine allied to the four-speed manual transmission. Imported to the UK in 1998 and entering into a large private collection that same year, the saloon was apparently used for a variety of shows, weddings, and school graduation balls during its twenty years in the collection. Purchased by the previous owner and thoroughly recommissioned, more recently the Lancia was rewired in 2020.Acquired by the vendor in 2021, the Belna has benefitted from significant further mechanical improvement with the mechanical filter refreshed, sliding pillar suspensions overhauled, four new tyres, and new spark plugs, as well as the door catches overhauled, fitment of a hidden USB charger, and sound insulating. Completing a couple of UK tours, the vendor also embarked upon a European tour, driving to Bordeaux followed by Carcassonne, around the Pyrenees, and back to Britain. Covering around 5,000 miles in the vendor’s ownership, ‘JSJ 241’ has also won two awards in two attendances to the Lancia National Rally including in the Augusta Belna class. Chassis ‘F311484’ is offered for sale with previous tax discs and MOTs, copies of the car's manuals, and a current V5C Registration Document.

A FINE AND RARE WILLIAM AND MARY BLACK JAPANNED CABINET ON GILTWOOD STANDIN THE MANNER OF THOMAS PELLETIER, C.1690-1700the original cresting carved with flowers, scrolls and flaming finials and centred with a female mask above an engraved gilt brass mounted black lacquer cabinet decorated in gilt with chinoiserie scenes of Chinese figures with pavilions, trees and flowers, with a pair of doors enclosing an arrangement of twelve drawers similarly decorated and fitted with brass ring handles, the inside of the doors with birds amidst trees, the sides with birds and flowers, the stand carved with leaves, flowers and with a further mask, the 'X' stretcher with five vase stands213cm high, 102.5cm wide, 53.5cm deepCatalogue NoteThe present cabinet on stand is finely decorated to imitate the precious Chinese and Japanese lacquer wares shipped into Europe in the 17th century by the East India Trading Companies. It is rare to find a cabinet with its original cresting as relatively few survive. For a related cabinet on stand with original carved cresting see Christie's, The Ann & Gordon Getty Collection: Volume 3, English and European Furniture, Porcelain and Silver, 22nd October 2022, lot 353, which sold for $176,400 (including premium). For a discussion of lacquer, japanned and 'bantamwork' cabinets see Adam Bowett, 'English Furniture 1660-1714, p.144-169 and for a cabinet with a similar carved stand with ‘pillar’ legs pl.5:33. See also Ralph Edwards, 'The Dictionary of English Furniture', vol.1, p.177, fig. 24 for a related cabinet on stand.The Pelletier family of carvers and gilders left France in the early 1680s, probably to escape persecution as Huguenots, and settled in Amsterdam. By 1682 Jean Pelletier was established in London and by the end of the decade his two sons René and Thomas had joined him. Their introduction to royal service was due to the patronage of the francophile Duke of Montagu, the courtier responsible, as Master of the Great Wardrobe, for the furnishing of all royal palaces. The Pelletiers drew heavily on the engraved designs of Jean Le Pautre (1618-82) and his son Pierre (1660-1744). For works by the Pelletier family of carvers see a side table in the Grand Entrance and Marble Hall at Buckingham Palace, RCIN 600 and a pair of Japanese cabinets on stands, RCIN 35485.
