A RARE FRENCH GILT BRASS CARIATIDES CASED MINIATURE CARRIAGE CLOCKG. BACQUEVILLE, PARIS, DATED 1893The rectangular eight-day movement with large single barrel incorporating tandem drive for both the going and strike trains, the former with silvered platform lever escapement regulated by sprung bimetallic balance and the latter with external hour hammer pivoted on the backplate for sounding on a gong set within the base of the case, the backplate stamped with serial number 3552 to lower margin, the 1 inch circular convex white enamel dial with vertically aligned Arabic hour numerals, five minute annotations to the outer minute track and fine scroll pierced gilt brass hands, set within a rectangular silvered mask signed G. Bacqueville, PARIS - 1895 to lower margin, the heavy cast gilt brass bevel-glazed cariatides case of Mignonette No. 2 size with rosette-centred acanthus scroll cast hinged carrying handle over thick glass set within generous repeating acanthus cast surround to top, above ogee-shaped lappet leaf cast cornice and canted corner uprights cast as Classical female terms, the rear with pin-hinged door and on conforming lappet-leaf ogee skirt base with pad feet.8.3cm (3.25ins) high with handle down, 6cm (2.625ins) wide, 5cm (2ins) deep. G. Bacqueville of Paris does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources however other decorative clocks (dating to the end of the 19th century) signed by him are known. The use of tandem barrel to drive both the going and strike trains, together with the provision of a silvered high-quality silvered platform jewelled escapement, suggests that the movement of the present clock may well be of Swiss manufacture. Hence would have most likely been supplied to Bacqueville for casing and retail in Paris. Miniature carriage clocks are called Mignonettes or 'little darlings' and come in three graded sizes with No. 1 being the smallest. Condition Report: The movement is in relatively clean fully working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements. The hour hand is a little out of position (reading around one minute division ahead) hence would benefit from adjustment. Dial is free from any visible defects although the silvering to the mask is has slight overall oxidation giving a nice mellow colour to the silvered finish. The case is in very good original condition with no visible crack/chips or other defects to the glass and light to moderated wear to the gilding (most noticeable to the frame of the rear door).Clock is complete with a winding key.

Bill Monk-built (WAM), F1 inspired, two-seat road-legal special with Fiat 1500 motivation recently refreshed to running order. Offered without Reserve. For many years, well known 1950s sports car racer and Aston Martin aficionado, the late Bill Monk, ran a business creating superb replicas (tributes) to Aston’s legendary DB3S. The cars were sold as W.A.M. (Bill’s initials) and 11 were built in total. Here at Iconic we have had the pleasure of selling one of these and the build quality was remarkableThe two-seat Fiat Special on offer here was originally built at WAM and is a one-off. We suspect that it was the prototype for a possible kit-car production run but don’t knowIt appears to have been conceived as a larger version of the Caterham/ Lotus 7 with tandem seating, Fiat running gear and styling influences from March, Tyrell and Yardley BRM F1 carsA spaceframe was constructed from 2" square tubing and clothed in a unique fibreglass body. Power was provided by a Fiat X1/9 1,498cc SOHC four-cylinder offering 85bhp @6000rpm mated to a five-speed gearbox. (In this case, with twin Webers and a tubular exhaust manifold, it’s 100bhp). With 190bhp/tonne available, it’s undoubtedly quickWe understand that many years ago Bill Monk gifted the car to our vendor's father (who’s company built a number of chassis for WAM) and he in turn gave it to his sonIn preparation for the sale the WAM Fiat Special, as it was known in period, is running and driving, has seat belts and an MOT and is road-legal. Could be a lot of fun.Specification Make: FIAT WAM Model: WAM SPECIAL Year: 1980 Chassis Number: 0118728 Registration Number: LKX 377V Transmission: Manual Engine Number: 3661188 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 22 Miles Make: RHD Interior Colour: BlackClick here for more details and images

Attributed to Adam de Colone, Dutch 1572-1651- Portrait of John Hay, 8th Lord Hay of Yester, later 1st Earl of Tweeddale, half-length, in a black and white slashed doublet and white lace collar; oil on canvas, dated 'AETATIS. 33 / 1628' (upper left), 64.2 x 55.4 cm. Provenance: The Marquess' of Tweeddale, Yester House, East Lothian and by descent. 'The Most Hon. The Dowager Marchioness of Tweeddale and the Trustees of the Most Hon. the late Marquess of Tweeddale' sale, Christie's, London, 1 May 1970, lot 45 (as 'G. Jackson'), £178.10. Property of the late Hugo Morley-Fletcher, MA FSA (1940-2022). Exhibited: Edinburgh, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, ‘Painting in Scotland 1570-1650’, August-September 1975, no.52 (as 'Adam de Colone'). Literature: J. Bullock, 'George Jamesone the Scottish Vandyck', Edinburgh, 1885, p.182, no.182, as 'George Jameson'. D. Thomson, 'The Life and Art of George Jamesone', Oxford, 1974, under Appendix B, 'Portraits attributed to Adam de Colone', p.149, no.22, as 'George Jameson'. Note: John Hay, 1st Earl of Tweedale (1595-1654) was a leading promoter of the National Covenant, an agreement signed by many people of Scotland during 1638, opposing the proposed reforms of the Church of Scotland (also known as the Kirk) by King Charles I. He was made an Earl in 1646. ‘Attributed to Jamesone by Bullock. Like its companion [Portrait of Margaret Hay], it has more recently borne an attribution to Gilbert Jackson. It has, however, none of that painter's characteristic naiveté: it does have many of those features which have been noted as characteristic of de Colone and is by the same hand as… above. Lord Hay of Yester, though a signatory to the Solemn League and Covenant, remained acceptable to Charles I and was created Earl of Tweeddale in 1646.’ (Scottish National Portrait Gallery, ‘Painting in Scotland 1570-1650’ exhibition catalogue, p.55). The sitter would have been an important sitter for the artist. He was - as part of the interconnected Scottish network of patrons and just as part of the wider Hay family - cousins with George Hay, Earl of Kinnoull, who sat to Adam de Colone, who in turn produced two portrait types of him, and Anne Hay, Countess of Winton, who sat to the artist at least twice. Adam de Colone clearly employed at least one studio assistant. While he wasn’t in the British Isles for long, there are versions of his full-length depiction of James VI and I (at full-length, three-quarter-length and half-length) that appear to be painted with the assistance of another hand, to meet the demand for copies of this particular composition. It is entirely possible therefore that the present lot was painted by both Adam de Colone and a studio assistant. The present work would have been a one-off composition of an important sitter and so it would have been very unlikely if the master was not involved in its production at all. A note on the collection:The following 14 lots belonged to the late Hugo Morley-Fletcher, the great European Ceramics specialist who worked at Christie’s for over 40 years and appeared on the BBC’s 'Antiques Roadshow' for over 25 years.Hugo was born in 1940 and spent the Second World War in his mother’s family’s ancestral home, Yester House near Edinburgh. Yester was built between 1699 and 1728 for the Marquesses of Tweeddale. In 1729 the 4th Marquess commissioned William Adam to carry out alterations, particularly to the interiors, but William died before the work was completed, and it wasn’t until his sons Robert and John Adam resumed work on it in 1759 that it was completed in the early 1760s. Yester is one of Scotland’s finest houses and its architecture, plasterwork and contents had a profound impact upon Hugo. His mother was also a talented sculptor, so art was in his blood. Shortly after his grandfather the 11th Marquess died in the late 1960s, the house was sold, along with a lot of the contents.Hugo had his own rather eccentric aristocratic style and sense of panache in tandem with an unerring confidence; this was off-putting to some, but utterly captivating to others. Working with Hugo at Christie’s was, at times, a little challenging, but it was certainly never dull. He loved wearing his green 'loden' cape that he had bought in Vienna, yet paradoxically, Hugo always retained his sense of Britishness. On one occasion, over 20 years ago, when we were in a tiny railway station in the middle of nowhere in Germany, we were struggling to get a ticket machine to work when a local kindly intervened to help. He then asked if we had been there the previous year. When we confirmed that we had, and asked why he asked, he replied that he remembered Hugo’s red socks!Hugo had a natural eye for art, frequently cutting straight to the key points of an object. His understanding extended beyond ceramics to encompass pictures and other decorative arts, and he had the ability to identify the best artwork in a room filled with things, whether it was ceramic or something different. He had a prodigious memory, priding himself in his ability to memorise the position of objects within a client’s house and retain that memory many years after the visit. He also had the ability to give a summary value of a collection after only the briefest of visits. He was often generous with his knowledge, but on other occasions would withhold it as a test. The study groups of saucers and small objects in this sale illustrate some of the fascinating complexities found in ceramics, and they would be an excellent vehicle for teaching.Hugo was a fine linguist and was completely untroubled by taking auctions in a variety of different languages. He also had a natural curiosity and understanding of other cultures, and Continental friends and clients were frequently surprised and impressed by his knowledge of both their history and current affairs, which often surpassed their own. His almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Royal and aristocratic families in Britain and the Continent meant that he understood how these families and historical events shaped the creation of ceramics of time, and as he once reminded me, with the creation of ceramics, ‘there is always someone writing a cheque’.Hugo was a tour-de-force in the ceramics world, publishing a number of specialist books included 'Investing in English Pottery and Porcelain' (1968), Meissen (1970), 'Meissen in Colour' (1971) and the 'Pflueger collection of Early European Porcelain and Faience' (1994). When he joined Christie’s in 1963 the market was dominated by Sotheby’s under the auspices of the great Tim Clarke. By the 1970s Hugo had reversed this. Two of the iconic sales of the 1970s were a highly important collection which was sold anonymously in March and October 1977, making a huge amount of money at the time. These were followed by many others.Later in his life Hugo became Prime Warden of the Worshipful Company of Dyers in the City of London which ushered in his charitable work with the Boucher Church of England Primary School, a disadvantaged school in East London. Hugo gave lessons in French and Latin, and in particular he was keen to promote reading, instigating the practice of the Dyers to donate a book to every pupil of the school each year.Text courtesy of Dominic Simpson, Consultant and former Head of European Ceramics at Christie’s.

A. A. Raiba (1922 - 2016) 30 x 40 Inches Charcoal on Paper Signed Lower Right Year - Circa 1965 "Raiba consistently wielded charcoal as his chosen medium for sketching and his approach to lines evolved in tandem with his subjects over the years. This charcoal on paperwork from the artist’s estate was made in the 1960s. Early in his career, he portrayed Christ, nude studies, and the erotic using sharp angular shapes teetering on the edge of cubism without fully embracing it. In a later series featuring landscapes and portraits of rural life Raiba's lines took on a lively curvaceous quality reminiscent of the styles employed by Mexican Muralists. Perhaps it was this dual training at the JJ School of Art in Western and Indian painting techniques coupled with his scholarly and introspective nature birthed a distinctive style and technique that set his work apart from his contemporaries.For further information on the artist, click here.

Edward Delaney RHA (1930-2009) Cathedral Bronze, 90cm high (35½'') Unique, circa 1961Cathedral is a major work of sculpture by Edward Delaney RHA (1930-2009) who is considered one of Ireland’s most important 20th century sculptors. Delaney’s best known works include the 1967 statue of Wolfe Tone and the Famine Family memorial in St Stephen’s Green in Dublin and the statue of Thomas Davis and angels fountain in College Green, opposite Trinity College Dublin. These are all examples of lost-wax bronze castings, his main technique during the 1960s and early 1970s. Cathedral is in a similar vein and emulates the monumental form of these sculptures. Influenced by Celtic art and by European modernism, Delaney’s work is in many public and private collections. He was born in County Mayo and studied at the National College of Art and Design, after which he studied bronze casting and sculpture in Germany. He later received many foreign scholarships and would represent Ireland at foreign exhibitions such as the international Biennales in Paris, Tokyo and Buenos Aires. Delaney gained a reputation not only through Dublin galleries such as Hendriks, the Royal Hibernian Academy and the Solomon, but through showing work internationally. He is also known for his small figurative bronze work, stainless steel sculptures and his drawings and paintings on paper. His work is in the collections of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), the Dublin City Gallery the Hugh Lane, OPW, AIB, Bank of Ireland, the Central Bank, the Arts Council of Ireland and the Ulster Museum among others. Cathedral is characteristic of Delaney’s monumental, zoomorphic style and is expressly abstract as well as ‘rock-form’ naturalistic. He developed this dramatic style in tandem with his interest in the standing human and animal form. The sculpture, which has been newly patinated and mounted, is of hollow bronze but heavy, and about four feet high and two feet wide. Large scale works by Delaney rarely come up for sale and they are all unique. There are no editions. The image here shows Cathedral from an RTE still of 1962, with the poet Patrick Kavanagh sitting in front of it. Kavanagh was a friend of the sculptor. In 2009, his son Eamon Delaney published a book about his father and the Irish arts scene of the 1960s and 1970s, entitled Breaking the Mould - A Story of Art and Ireland (2009). In the book, he describes this image as a great moment in Irish modernism -: Irish television, then in its infancy, the modern sculpture and the ‘pastoral to modernist’ poet. He describes how, in the image - which has gone around the world as part of the famous, Writers of Ireland poster - Kavanagh actually resembles the featured sculpture. ‘Kavanagh’s pose is particularly satisfying because Cathedral is such an abstract piece’ Delaney writes. ‘Whatever about the public work, this really is modern, like a section of moon rock with a niche in its side or a gouged out tree trunk. Uncannily, the whole piece resembles the poet himself: solid, grounded and both traditional and modern, recognisable and abstract. He even shares the special quality of Eddie’s work: brute weight rendered tenderly.’ Condition Report: - 85kg - overall condition is very good - 48 x 30 x 90.5cm high

White Circle Series was produced in the final years of her life, consisting of paintings and magnificent screenprints produced in tandem with Graal Press. A similar work from this series is exhibited in the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. Barns-Graham was an important figure in British Modernism, moving to St Ives in 1940 after studying at Edinburgh College of Arts and joining the group that included Ben Nicholson, Barbara Hepworth and Naum Gabo. Since her death in 2004, numerous solo exhibitions have been conducted posthumously. These include Wilhelmina Barns-Graham: From St Andrews to St Ives, hosted in 2016 which coincided with a major survey of Barns-Graham's work at Penlee House Gallery & Museum.
An impressive French late 19th century giltwood table a gibier or double-sided console tableAfter the Louis XIV model attributed to Jules Degoullons which was supplied to the Chateau de Bercy in 1713The breche violette marble top with a twin cavetto moulded edge, above an inverted breakfront stand, with a guilloche frieze comprised of alternating rosette embedded twin opposing c-scrolls and bellflower pendants, each angle centred by a mille raie lambrequin with scrolled terminals surmounting two acanthus carved s-scrolls, over a ribbon wrapped bundle of reeds edging, above a scrolled and shaped strapwork apron adorned with foliage, flowers, bellflowers and beaded acanthus, centred by a cabochon encrusted scrolled cartouche surmounted by a roundel inset with low relief foliage and a central flowerhead, on four large legs each comprised of twin opposing and interlocking elongated S-form columns, each carved with two opposing Venus busts, oak leaf garlands, bulrushes and stylised foliage centred by a twin overlapping scallop shell, with an entrelac moulded and mille raie capped shaped and scrolled x-stretcher embellished with acanthus and husk pendants, the central roundel inset with a sunflower head, terminating in eight tapering square section stiff-leaf wrapped toupie feet, 180cm wide x 84cm deep x 83cm high, (70 1/2in wide x 33in deep x 32.5in high)Footnotes:An identical table to the offered lot, albeit one made by Francois Linke (and stamped as such), was recently offered Sotheby's, New York, 7 October 2024, Classic Design: Furniture, Silver & Ceramics, lot 97. Other closely related examples to have sold at auction, all unsigned, include Christie's London, 15 March 2012, lot 86; Sotheby's New York, 20 April 2009, lot 39; and Christie's London, 12 November 2020, lot 295.This remarkable table is closely based upon the model supplied to the Chateau de Bercy, in Paris, upon behalf of Charles Henri II de Malon de Bercy in 1713, just two years before the end of the reign of the 'sun king', Louis XIV. The original is attributed to the court sculptor, Jules Degoullons (c. 1671-1738). Notable tables of this design which were made during the latter part of the 19th century were, by nature of the complexity and intricacy of the work involved, executed by the foremost cabinet makers of the period. And two such examples, which are virtually identical to this lot, were produced by one of the most prolific late 19th/early 20th century figures in furniture, Francois Linke (1855-1946).Although built by the architect Francois Le Vau in 1658 upon behalf of the Malon de Bercy's father, the Chateau de Bercy, which was situated alongside the river Seine, was much altered and expanded during the period, 1702-1713. Following his collaboration with Verbeckt at the Chateau de Versailles, Jules Degoullons supplied the carved furniture and interior wall panelling or boiseries required at the Chateau de Bercy at this time, working in tandem with figures such as Andre and Mathieu Legoupil, Pierre Taupin and Marin Bellan.During the 19th century the expansion and urbanisation of Paris, along with the development of the Gare de Lyon station, meant that the Chateau was sadly destroyed in 1860, whilst its contents were sold off over the course of a four-day auction. In this process, Napoleon III acquired the Degoullons table a gibier for the Mobilier National. Subsequently, it was re-located to the Louvre Museum in 1901 (OA 5049). This masterpiece appears in G.B. Pallot, Le Mobilier du Musée du Louvre, 1993, Dijon, Vol. II, pp.'s 36-39.At approximately this same period it is evident that several copies and close imitations of this hugely impressive double-sided console table were being produced, possibly due to the increased awareness of this model. Among these, Francois Linke's firm supplied at least two tables of this type, including the one sold recently at Sotheby's (see above for details). Another identical version was provided by Linke to one of his most important clients, Elias Meyer, for 16 Grosvenor Square, London. The latter is shown in situ as illustrated in C. Payne, François Linke (1855-1946), The Belle Epoque of French Furniture, 2003, Woodbridge, pp.'s 244-245, pl.'s 259-60 as well as in C. Payne, Paris Furniture: The Luxury Market of the 19th Century, 2018, p. 135.The Elias Meyer model may even be the exact same table, also stamped for Linke, which previously sold Christie's, New York, 24 May 1993, lot 338. This is proposed since in old photographs which show the Meyer interiors, the main central cartouche on the frieze of the former is plain and undecorated, just as it appears to be on the latter. Whereas the cartouche on the recent Sotheby's variant incorporates some carved ornamentation. Interestingly, the main cartouche on the present lot is likewise similarly adorned with carving.A further very similar Louis XIV style table a gibier of this format, albeit one executed by Maison Krieger, was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1902. It appears in an old black and white photo taken from: la revue, 'Les Arts', which is replicated in C. Mestdagh, L'Ameublement d'Art Francais, 1850-1900, 2010,This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Designed by Alex Issigonis in 1959, a new concept in car design was born. With a monocoque shell, transversely mounted engine and front wheel drive, the new 'Mini', as it was commonly known, soon became popular across a broad spectrum of the population. The potential for competition use was soon seen by John Cooper and although Alex Issigonis was less keen, BMC were finally persuaded by John Cooper and the two worked together in culminating the birth of the Austin Mini Cooper and the Morris Mini Cooper in 1961. Victories in the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies set the Mini on the road to fame but probably the greatest publicity was gained from their (somewhat unfair) disqualification for lighting irregularities in the 1966 event after coming in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was developed in tandem and released in 1963. Featuring a 1071cc engine and larger servo-assisted disc brakes, 4,030 Cooper S cars were produced and sold until the model was updated in August 1964. Cooper also produced two S models specifically for circuit racing in the under 1,000 cc and under 1,300 cc classes respectively, rated at 970cc and a 1,275cc. The smaller-engine model was not well received, and only 963 had been built when the model was discontinued in 1965. The 1,275 cc Cooper S models continued in production until 1971.Originally supplied to Portugal, this delightful left hand drive Mini Cooper has been subject to a major restoration including upgrades to Cooper S specification. Imported to the UK in 2019, it has been on static display as part of a private collection but has recently been subject to some recommissioning and so is ready to be enjoyed by its new custodian. Supplied with Portuguese registration documents but it comes with a Nova certification confirming UK taxes paid. Consigned by John Dutton.

The 1,275 cc Cooper S models continued in production until 1971.Delivered new to sunny Florida in 1966 this beautiful Island Blue with Old English white roof Mk. I 1275cc Mini Cooper S was repatriated into the United Kingdom in 2017. On its arrival the car was then subject to a no expense spared nut and bolt rebuild over a two year period of which much is catalogued and at which time it was converted to right hand drive, upon the restoration the odometer was zero’ d, 44 miles of running in later and the speedo on this example in July stopped working thus will need to be addressed by the new owner but only circa 20 miles have been covered since. The end result of the restoration speaks for itself, presented with a huge file of expenditure to back up the no nonsense approach to the restoration. Other than a few subtle upgrades in spotlights, Minilight wheels and period wooden steering wheel this car remains original. Offered with the Heritage Certificate and an MoT test certificate until March 2025, this absolutely stunning example is now ready for a new adventure and this Mini Cooper S is ready to be enjoyed by any budding Italian Job afficionado!

A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the 'S', was developed in tandem and released in 1963.This Morris Mini Cooper with a build date in June 1967 was dispatched to Kennings Ltd, Sheffield and registered in July 1967. In 1998 it went to Anchor Autos Bristol where it received a full body and mechanical restoration to ‘S’ specification with twin tanks and heated screens front and rear. This included the engine being bored to 1340cc and fitted with a ‘fast road’ camshaft and the gearbox rebuilt with straight cut gears. The suspension and brakes were rebuilt using Cooper S parts. The front seats were replaced with rally bucket seats and rally instruments fitted to the dashboard. We are told that the odometer was zero’d at the time of the restoration, and it has only travelled 9,000 miles since. It was purchased by the vendors husband in November 2005 when the car had covered about 7,000 miles. There is a large history file including old MoTs, invoices for works and a report which details the restoration of 1998 together with a detailed handwritten owner’s record of subsequent service works, MoTs and petrol purchases. Finished in Island Blue with Old English White roof with black rally interior, it is supplied with a V5 registration document, an original Mini Drivers Handbook and a Heritage Certificate.
