Lot 86

20th century | height: 24 cm | region: Central Italy | provenance: private pharmacy museum | Albarello faience pottery | Inscribed "Althea Nobilis", this jar is an example of a work from the 20th century that draws inspiration from the Renaissance style. Although not a Renaissance jar, its decoration and design mimic traditional Italian majolica – the tin-glazed pottery that was popular in the 16th century. The design of the jar includes rich ornamentation, including heraldic elements and winged mythological figures, typical of the Renaissance aesthetic. The central part is decorated with a coat of arms, which evokes the impression of historical nobility. jars of this type were traditionally used to store medicines and herbs, and the inscription Althea Nobilis refers to the medicinal herb (Althaea officinalis), a medicinal plant used in traditional medicine. This jar is an interesting example of modern craftsmanship that revives and honors the traditional aesthetic values ​​of the past, while serving as both a decorative and functional object in the spirit of Renaissance design. | Bidders are requested to inquire about the condition of the lot prior to the auction.

Lot 22

Flemish School. 16th century.‘Mary as the Gateway to Heaven. Allegory of the examination of conscience to achieve a Good Death’.Oil on panel. Accompanied by an imposing carved and gilded wooden frame.92 x 70 cm.Magnificent panel depicting the final moment of a human being lying in the centre of the bottom of the composition, taking stock of his good and bad deeds, the examination of conscience of his life; a prayerful reflection on his thoughts, words and actions in the light of the Gospel to determine how he may have sinned against God and others. The artist must have been familiar with the theology of the time, as taught by St. Ignatius of Loyola in his Spiritual Exercises, which taught: ‘at the end of the day, at the time of going to rest’ ‘to make a daily peaceful reflection on all that has happened [...] to find God in all things [...] even in those where God had apparently hidden himself’. 'The human conscience imagines its life at the ‘hour of eternal rest’. The painter places Mary, the Gate of Heaven, at the centre, as the Mother of Mercy who always awaits with open hands on her heart. In Glory,  the Holy Trinity awaits, God the reigning Father, the Suffering Son and the Holy Spirit who flies over everything and everyone. When contemplating this work, we see three differentiated levels, in which numbered phylacteries fly, like speech bubbles, which arrange the conversation. Above in the sky: Son (11) ‘PATER RESPICE VULNERA MEA...’ (‘Father, remember my wounds...’). And he also addresses his mother (14): ‘MATER MEA, FIAT TIBI SICUT VIS’ (‘My mother, let it be done as you will’). God the Father (12) ‘VENIT TEMPUS MISEREN DIEORUM’ (‘The hour has come for the miserable days’).The Father, who addresses the Virgin and calls her Daughter: ‘FILIA FIAT TIBI SICUT VIS’ (‘Daughter, be it done as you will’). And the third from heaven is the Dove or Holy Spirit (1) ‘SPONSA FIAT TIBI SICUT VIS’ (‘Bride, be it as thou wilt’). On the second level, horizontally speaking, and in the centre, the Virgin responds with three phylacteries (8): ‘PATER RESPICIE IN FACIEM CHRISTI’ (‘Father receive and look at the face of Christ’), (9) ‘FILI ASPICE UBERA QUAE TE LACTAVERUNT’ (‘Son, look at the breasts that suckled you’), and (10) ‘S. Se. DEUS ECCE QUOS AMAS INFIRMANTUR‘ (’God, Holy among the Saints, strengthen those you love"). The angels on the left, over which he prays: ‘PER HANC NOS AD DEUM’ (‘Through these, we go to God’), ask their Queen (7): ‘IUUA PUSILLANIMES, MARIA ANGELORUM REGINA’ (‘Mary, Queen of Angels, look upon the fainthearted youth’). On the right are saints and the Church: Saints Peter and Paul, Popes and Holy Fathers, and Saint Peter the Martyr, among others. Above them: ‘PER HANC DEUS AD NOS’ (‘Through these, God goes to us’), and they respond to their Mother: ‘SU COURE MISERIS SANCTORUM MATER’ (‘Merciful Mother of Saints, attend this tribunal with your heart’). On the earthly level, rests the conscience, lying in the form of a sick human being, who speaks to the Virgin (2): ‘MARIA, TU AB HOSTES PROTEGE ET HORA MORTIS SUSCIPE’ (‘Mary, protect yourself from the enemy and listen to the hour of death’). To which she replies from heaven (16): ‘CONFIDITE FILII, EXAUDITE EST ORATIO NOSTRA’. (‘Son of trust, hear our prayer’). And St. Michael the Archangel, who is named, brandishes his sword over the devil, and says to him (17): ‘IMPERET TIBI DEUS’ (‘God will annihilate you’). And that devil, who is leaning over the recumbent, says (1): ‘PECCAMUSTIS NON SPERETIS VENIAM’ (‘You must sin, do not expect forgiveness’). To the left of the couch, is an angel looking up and praying (5): ‘OCURRITE ANGELI DOMINI’ (‘Angels of the Lord, come’). To the left of his wing we read ‘STOS’ (‘he who remains standing’). To the right of the sick man Saint John the Evangelist (‘PROTECTOR’, behind him, above the shield) cries out: ‘SUB VENITE SANCTI DEI’ (‘Saints of God, come to him’). Two saints pray with the sick man, a Carmelite and an Augustinian, behind whom ‘death breathes, symbolised by the caravel waiting patiently with its shining dart’. The sick man communicates that he has had only one thought, of the fear of God (‘TIMOR DEI’), his whole life rests on the theological virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity (pillows), rests on his good works, thoughts and words (‘BONAE OPERA, BONAE COGITATIONIS, BONAE LOQUTIONES’), and rests on the cardinal virtues (legs of the bed) Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance. The devil, who stalks the dying man, sticks out from under his bed, which raised on a platform covered with a valance: ‘CONFUNDANTUR QUI ME PERSEQUNTUR ET NON CONFUNDAR’ (‘Those who persecute me will be confused, and they will not confuse me’); while the dying man prays and speaks to all: ‘MISEREMINI NOSTRI SALTEM VOS, AMICI NOSTRI’ (‘At least, you, our friends, have mercy on us’). All this theological life ‘has a face, an owner, a face, a family’, represented by the heraldic shield on the right of the evangelist and beloved disciple, either the person who commissioned the work or its painter. A shield in gold, gules and black with a heart surmounted by the Holy Cross of Jerusalem with initials B, E, P, O.Finally, we should note that an almost exactly similar panel, although not so dark in the background colour, with more light, with the same iconography, perhaps also by the same artist, is in the Pilgrimage Museum in Santiago de Compostela.

Lot 16

Castilian school. 16th century.‘Temperance’ and “Justice”.Pair of carved, walnut wood reliefs. 47,5 x 42,5 cm. each. This pair of incredible quadrangular white walnut wood reliefs representing Temperance and Justice must have originally belonged to a liturgical piece of furniture which would also have contained the other two Cardinal Virtues, i.e. Fortitude and Prudence. It is most likely that they were part of a set of Renaissance pews - without categorically ruling out their belonging to a cupboard or a door - as representations of the Virtues were quite common in the pews of this period due to their moralising character, as we must bear in mind that the moral conduct of the Human Being rested on them.Given the technical characteristics of both reliefs, the remarkable skill and finesse with which they are carved, and the fact that sculpting in walnut and the making of pews and other ecclesiastical furniture were not commissioned from just any master, it seems clear that their sculptor was a relevant sculptor of the Castilian school and that they were carved around the second third of the 16th century.Both Virtues have been depicted, as is often the case, as women of classical appearance, almost like Roman matrons or noble maidens with sophisticated headdresses. They wear wide, fine garments completely covered with small pleats that make the edges of the garments extremely faceted.The wet cloth technique is simulated in some areas, with which not only the plastic and volumetric values of the reliefs are highlighted but also the voluptuousness of the women, since through these fine garments the rounded forms of their bodies are suggested. As a general rule, they are worked in bas-relief, but in the most relevant areas, such as the heads, hands and attributes, the relief acquires greater volume, close to being in the round, but never quite reaching it.The heads are small, round and have expressive faces, serious in the case of Justice and more serene in that of Temperance. They have slanting eyes, carved with great detail both in the iris and the eyelids, and above them, sharp curved eyebrows that give them personality, as well as a chiaroscuro in the area of the eye sockets that enhances their volume. The facial features comprise smooth foreheads, broad, elongated noses, marked nasolabial folds, small open mouths with thick lips and bulging cheekbones. The ears are not visible due to the elaborate headdresses that almost completely obscure their hair. In the case of Justice, we can see a scarf that leaves free a couple of snaky locks that slide down her temples, and a ribbon that the anonymous sculptor models with great skill, creating a series of curves and counter-curves while displaying it from different profiles with multiple folds. For her part, Temperance also wears a kind of veil that leaves free a pair of locks of similar characteristics to those of Justice. Above the veil, the end of which seems to be moved by the wind, is a winged head of a putti, one of the most characteristic elements of Renaissance vocabulary. This same putti is found on Justice's neckline, almost like a brooch. Finally, Temperance wears a kind of cloth hanging from the ends of the buckles that cover her ears.Both women are perfectly identified both by the Latin signs carved on the upper part of the panels - ‘TEMPERATIA’ and ‘IVSTICIA’- and by the attributes they hold in their hands. Thus Justice elegantly holds a scale in her right hand - the allegory of the equality with which she must act - while in her left hand she wields a sword - the symbol of the strength with which she imposes herself - whose long blade occupies the entire height of the panel. Temperance, on the other hand, is seen pouring water from a jug over a wide goblet filled with wine in order to temper what is too stimulating.The conception of the two figures differs from each other, for while Temperance presents a closed composition, withdrawn in on itself, as well as having a calmer character as it embodies the Virtue it is representing, Justice is conceived with an open composition -see the arms- and shows a more decisive and dynamic spirit. Both differences in state, tranquillity and impetuosity, can be seen in another specific detail that they both share: the way in which the wind moves or waves the scarf or ribbon that covers their hair. We would like to thank Dr. Javier Baladrón, doctor in Art History, for the identification and cataloguing of this work.

Lot 166

Philippine school. Northern Luzon. Mid-20th century.‘Anitos - Man and Woman’.Pair of carved wooden sculptures.83 x 18 x 15 cm and 83 x 17,5 x 13 cm. ‘Anitos’ is the general name for the spirit of the deceased. Depictions of the ‘Anitos’ are found amongst the Igorot peoples, mainly in the Ifugao and Kankanaey tribes. They influenced life, either for good or for evil. By making sacrifices to these figures, the spirit of the ancestor, who is wandering and tormenting his own relatives, can find peace.

Attributed to Sebastián López de Arteaga (Seville, 1610 - Mexico, 1656).Carved, wooden "cell cross" painted in oils.61.5 x 31.5 cm.  Powerful, inspiring and devotional oil painting on panel with the image of Christ Crucified at the moment when, according to the Evangelist John or Psalm 22, He says some of his seven last sayings: - to God, his Father: ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?- to all: ‘I thirst’;- to the world: ‘All is fulfilled’;- and finally to God: ‘Father, into your hands I commend my spirit’.The ‘cell cross’ is a type of devotional piece very common in Spanish and Latin-American convents and monasteries in the 17th and 18th centuries, and was placed inside each cell for the personal use and worship of each monk or nun.The cross has rectilinear sections, unadorned, and worked in an illusionist, three-dimensional manner, the amount of light is somewhere halfway between the typically Baroque tenebrist light and expression of pathos and the artificial Mannerist light, that invisible ‘cannon of light’ that makes us look at Him.  Christ appears in the centre, with foreshortened and expressively deformed anatomy, which denotes the continuance of mannerism even into the 17th century. Following this Christ from top to bottom, at his feet we see a depiction of death treading on the devil.  While regarding the pain and death of Jesus on the cross, the skeleton at his feet may seem to be perverse mockery, or nihilistic and macabre irony.This design of a skull (Adam's skull) with two tibias, or scattered bones, and a sitting or standing skeleton originated in the late Middle Ages as a symbol of death and especially as a ‘memento mori’, a visual reflexion on the transience of life (remember that you will die...). In this work, and on the same plane or level, death steps on the devil, on evil, as if they were saying to each other: neither you nor I have the last word, only the resurrection.And horizontally, like two ‘loving’ messages flowing from the blood of his hands, we see two birds: in his right hand, as we look at it, the Phoenix on a burning fire, a symbol of hope, poise, memory and regeneration, a miraculous bird that feels death and prepares it with care and serenity to then rise from its ashes unharmed and vigorous (an impossible dream for a human being who has no faith ...); in his left hand, as a finale, he presents a bird and its chicks, which she feeds with her own flesh and blood.  The pelican, one of the symbols of Christ, of His martyrdom and death as salvation through the ultimate sacrifice and love for others. In Catholicism it is associated with the Eucharist: with the immolation of Jesus, who with His own flesh and blood nourishes and redeems humanity.   A true example of love is the pelican that restores its young with its own blood.  Such is the love of Christ who with His blood restores life and gives us his kingdom on the cross.The composition ends with this pelican which encloses, with a motto, the expression of love of this Christ on the cross: ‘SIC’, ‘HIS QUI DILIGUNT’ (Thus - For those who love).

Destined to become the first female Member of Parliament and one of the great society hostesses of her day, Nancy was born in Danville, Virginia, in the United States. She moved to England in 1905, having fallen in love with the country during a visit following the breakdown of her first marriage. Here, she met her second husband William Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor (1879-1952). They were married in 1906 and received Cliveden as a wedding present from his father. Nancy soon became a prominent society hostess from her new lavish Buckinghamshire estate, as well as their grand St James's Square house, now the Naval and Military Club. Her charismatic personality and independent nature is wonderfully captured in her portrait illustrated here, painted in 1908 by the great society painter John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) and now in the National Trust collection at Cliveden. She was elected to the House of Commons in 1919, where she remained the Conservative MP for Plymouth for twenty-five years, championing education reform and women's rights. Later in her political career, she also held the role of Lady Mayoress of Plymouth from 1939 until the end of the Second World War. Known for her wit and combative spirit, Nancy also had a great love of finery.

*MAX BAND (1900-1974) A portrait of a Jewish worker in an interior, depicted three-quarter length, signed lower left, oil on canvas, 98cm x 62cm,Framed dimensions: 113cm x 77cm  Provenance: Private collection, Dorset.Note: Max Band was born in Kudirkos Naumiestis, Lithuania in 1900. This small village offered very little artistic guidance, however the young Band was determined to create. His first oil painting was made with homemade brushes he created from sticks.Band made his way to Berlin to study art where his talents were first recognised by the public. One of his first drawings was selected by his teacher and entered into an open exhibition. Upon seeing the work, a wealthy collector tracked down Band to purchase the drawing. Never considering or putting much care into the financial value his artwork should garner Band could not name a price. Upon being pressed for a figure, Band responded that he valued time over money, so a figure was agreed upon based on two months’ worth of food.The French critic Paul Fierens described the early period of Band’s career stating, “The refinement of his color, this what he owes to France, that that he has taken something of Chardin, Corot or Bonnard, but the Parisian sky, after Lithuania and the Louvre, quite naturally became his third master. Paris, with its pale azure, its inimitable greys, its delightful white, offered itself to Max Band as an example and gave him excellent advice."Max Band’s artistic output was largely made up of still lives, landscapes, and portraits of the sea. These subjects offer a free flow of color and movement. He also created many works of the Jewish religious experience during his life. These paintings offer a deep richness of feeling that could only be reflected by an artist of his skill and above all experience living through WWII.If one label can be attached to Band’s artwork it is Humanism. Whether it be the natural world, or more personal subjects, Band had a unique expression for deeper qualities hidden beneath the surface. This unique vision was best stated by the artist in describing one of his paintings of Jewish Talmudic scholars, “After living in France for nearly twenty years I began to see something strange in the eyes of the people. As the threat of bombing grew ever more menacing, the proud French people, who for centuries had walked in pride and freedom, as befitted a nation universally regarded as the epitome of culture and spirit, began to live in fear. It showed in their eyes and gestures. They listened for threatening sounds in the night.”Max Band left France in 1940 for the United States where he lived and worked for the remainder of his career. He passed away in 1974.

A CARVED GILTWOOD CONSOLE TABLE 18TH CENTURY AND LATER, IN THE MANNER OF WILLIAM KENT The rectangular Portor marble top above an acanthus-carved frieze on paired massive eagle supports with spread wings and rocky plinth bases, regilt 95cm high, 184cm wide, 74cm deep Provenance: The Hon. Claude J. Yorke, and thence by descent Illustrated: The Connoisseur, May 1965, p.3  This console table relates to a giltwood table with a rectangular black marble top inlaid with pietre dure created by William Kent (1685-1748) for the 'Lords Dressing Room and Closet' (now the Blue Velvet Room) at Chiswick House, London, in c. 1727-32, for Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington; it is now at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire (illustrated ed. S. Soros, William Kent: Designing Georgian Britain, New Haven and London, 2014, p. 495, fig. 18.37). Another pair of similar tables with eagle supports, attributed to Kent, is in the collection of the National Trust at Hatchlands Park, Surrey (NT 1166453.1-2). The eagle supports derive from antiquity, from Ovid's Metamorphoses when the shepherd Ganymede was borne aloft by an eagle to serve as Jupiter's attendant at the banquet of the gods. The design may have been invented by Kent, who depicted a pair of warring eagles atop a low table for Alexander Pope's rendition of the Odyssey (1725-26), and again for the tailpiece at the end of the list of plates in vol. 2 of his Designs of Inigo Jones (1727) (Soros, p. 422, fig. 16.12; p. 423). The Edinburgh cabinet-maker, Francis Brodie, included an eagle table on his trade card, published in 1739 (F. Bamford, Dictionary of Edinburgh Furniture-Makers, Leeds, 1983, pl. 24a). Eagle consoles include a pair formerly at Glemham Hall, Suffolk, sold Christie's, New York, 13 April, 2016, lot 30 ($245,000 inc. premium) and a single eagle table sold by the late Sir John Gooch, 12th Bt., Benacre Hall, Suffolk, Sotheby's house sale, 9-11 May 2000, lot 163 (£10,800 inc. premium). Condition Report: Good, structurally secure with dents marks and scratches and shrinkage cracks due to age and use. The marble top in good condition with some edge chips. The frame entirely re-gilt, the carcase timbers showing traces of a yellow wash and with old labels from Maples Depository. The wholesale redecoration of the table renders it difficult to determine with confidence the age are materials used but it appears the rectangular frame supporting the marble is 18th century, the applied leaf decoration may well be later. The eagles are probably also later, they don't seem to have the spirit of the 18th century and are very close mirror images suggesting they suggesting they were produced in a very considered way (untypical of the 18th century). That said the table is a handsome and imposing piece with great presence and in `showroom condition'. Condition Report Disclaimer
