AN UNUSUAL ENGLISH GILT BRASS SMALL MOONPHASE CALENDAR CARRIAGE CLOCK WITH TANDEM-DRIVE BARRELUNSIGNED, MID 19th CENTURYThe eight-day four pillar two train bell striking movement with single spring barrel incorporating opposing tandem greatwheels for driving both trains, the going train with offset underslung platform lever escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the fine gilt twin bird inhabited foliate scroll engraved rectangular dial with rolling moonphase aperture to centre, incorporating silvered 'button moon' to the revolving matted lunar disc annotated for the age-of-the-moon to upper margin and with rosette engraved lunettes to infill beneath, within Roman numeral chapter ring and with blued steel spade hands over twin subsidiary day-of-the-week and date-of-the-month dials within fine engraved leafy infill, the case with hinged foliate cast faceted baton carrying handle over inset concave-sided rectangular platform to top and convex cornice mouldings flanked by projecting rounded ogee mouldings forming the caps for the quatrefoil three-quarter column corner uprights, the front and rear with bevel glazed doors and the sides with plain panels, on stepped canted base interrupted by blocks supporting the uprights at the angles over disc feet.12.5cm (5ins) high with handle down, 9cm (3.5ins) wide, 7cm (2.75ins) deep. The provision of a 'tandem barrel' to drive both the going and strike trains is very unusual and has its roots in 17th century Dutch practice with many 'Haagse' clocks employing this system (see Van Den Ende; Van Kersen-Halbertsma; Taylor, Dr. John C. and Taylor Neil HUYGENS' LEGACY, THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE PENDULUM CLOCK pages 176-177, for an example by Johannes van Ceulen). The natural advantage of this system is to save space which would naturally lend itself to provision within carriage clock work. However is rarely seen with Charles Allix noting that it occurs in some carriage clocks made in the French Dura and also in Austria (see Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS, Their history and development page 416).The form of the case of the present clock follows those made popular by makers such as Arnold and Dent during the 1840's; a case sharing the same handle casting, and stamped for the casemaker L. Lange, is illustrated in Roberts, Derek CARRIAGE and Other Travelling Clocks on page 348 (Figure 24-5). Condition Report: Clock appears complete and in original condition however it is not currently running or striking. The movement does appear essentially 'untouched' and is fully wound hence is most likely gummed-up with dried oil. The hands are 'catching' when advanced indicating that there is an issue with the under-dial work - most likely the strike release. The dial is in good original condition with visible faults limited to some rubbing and wear to the black numerals. We cannot ascertain whether the calendar functions are operational due to the hands 'catching'. The case appears free from visible damage or noticeable replacements and has deep gilt finish exhibiting some patchy discolouration/oxidation, scratching and edge wear. There is no winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

A FINE 18K GOLD AND DIAMOND-SET 'ARCEAU. LE TEMPS SUSPENDU' AUTOMATIC WRISTWATCH, BY HERMÈS, 2022Of automatic movement, the circular cream engine-turn dial, rose Breguet numerals and hands, applied dot minute markers, subsidiary mother-of-pearl dial, brilliant-cut diamond bezel with polished rose gold case and lugs, time suspension function operated through the push button in the band at 9 o'clock, sapphire crystal display back secured by five screws, signed 18K rose gold buckle, gold crown with H, on black alligator strap, case, dial and movement signed, Swiss assay mark, European convention mark, serial no. 31157**, case no. AR7.471, with large Hermès case and outer box, with manual booklet, case 38mmAccompanied with its certificate of authenticity from Hermès Paris, dated October 20th 2022 & photocopy of invoice of same date.Please note that this lot contains alligator leather and might be subject to CITES regulations when exporting outside the EUThe Hermès Arceau Le Temps Suspendu allows the wearer to capture and hold specific moments by literally stopping time. This watch’s unique design includes the feature of suspended time, in which with the push of a button the hour and second hands immediately move to the 12 o’clock and remain stationary. The date hand disappears seamlessly behind the hour ring. There is a particularly clever horological feature to this watch, which has been created exclusively by Hermès. The movement continues uninterrupted with the running time and the suspended time phases controlled by two column wheels working in tandem with each other. The 360° retrograde feature allows time to disappear without disrupting the movement. When the wearer decides to restart the watch it automatically moves forward to display the correct time. This particular function was designed by a group of movement experts at Hermès under the direction of Jean-Marc Wiederrecht, founder of Agenhor, which specializes in conception of complex watch mechanisms.

Sandra Blow, British 1925-2006 - Blue and White Stripes, 1998; acrylic on canvas, signed, titled and dated to the overflap 'Blow Blue and White Stripes March 1998', 121.8 x 121.5 cm (ARR) Provenance: Bonhams, London, Modern Pictures and Sculpture, 22 March 2011, lot 188; private collection, purchased from the above Note: Blow is considered to be one of the pioneering abstract artists of the 1950s who introduced a new form of expressive painting to Britain, often using everyday discarded materials such as sawdust, sackcloth and plaster. This practice was developed in tandem with her then-partner, the great Italian artist, Alberto Burri, with whom she travelled and worked in Italy during the late 1940s. Although considerably younger than many of her contemporaries of this early period, she was at the forefront of the abstract movement in Britain. The present work is an exemplary piece of her later period, following her move to St. Ives in 1994 and shows her brilliant synthesis of form, light, space, texture and rhythm.

A single sheet handwritten and signed by William Shatner, recalling the production of the first Star Trek film made in 1979.Composed on his personal stationery, Shatner writes, "It was going to be a movie for T.V. Nope - it was going to be a new series - excuse me? Change that, it is now a movie - a movie movie - I'm o.k. with that. Robert Wise is going to direct the first movie - that's huge - he is one of the best - we heard later he had never heard of Star Trek. God, he's going to direct it and he's never heard of us. But listen, his wife is a big fan - urged him to do it - Yes Wise is going to do it. There was dancing in the streets, Robert Wise elevates Star Trek from a mere television show to a mainstream movie - Now the script - well it needs some work - But we have to get going to make the release date which was set for the Holiday season - We grind out the movie - Leonard and I working in tandem try and improve the script - We have meetings with Robert then Gene and we try but Gene won't accept our ideas. I've forgotten what the issue was - but Robert was enthusiastic about the change after we sort of performed it for him - but at a second performance that day for Gene it didn't go as well - no changes - too bad. / William Shatner."Unbelievably, director Robert Wise was rumored to have never heard of Star Trek, despite his career in Hollywood directing The Sound of Music (Robert Wise Productions, 1965), West Side Story (The Mirisch Corporation, 1961), The Day the Earth Stood Still (20th Century Fox, 1951), and several other hits.7.25 x 10.25 inches

The AH-64 Apache is a versatile attack helicopter primarily used by the United States Army. Manufactured by Boeing, the Apache is known for its advanced weapons systems, agility, and lethality. Here are some key features and characteristics of the AH-64 Apache:1. Attack Capabilities: The Apache is specifically designed for combat missions and is equipped with a wide range of weapons systems. It typically carries a combination of AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles, Hydra 70 rockets, and a 30mm M230 chain gun. This firepower allows it to engage armored vehicles, ground targets, and even low-flying aircraft.2. Advanced Avionics and Sensors: The Apache features advanced avionics and sensor systems to provide superior situational awareness. It includes a Target Acquisition and Designation System (TADS) and a Pilot Night Vision Sensor (PNVS), which enable day and night targeting, reconnaissance, and surveillance capabilities.3. Survivability: The Apache incorporates advanced measures to enhance its survivability on the battlefield. It has a low radar cross-section, infrared suppression systems, and armor protection for the crew and critical components. Additionally, it can carry countermeasures systems to defend against threats such as surface-to-air missiles.4. Long-Range Operations: The Apache has a considerable operational range, allowing it to conduct missions over extended distances. It can be refueled in-flight to further extend its reach. This makes the Apache suitable for a variety of missions, including close air support, reconnaissance, and deep strike operations.5. Network-Centric Operations: The Apache is designed to operate in network-centric environments, allowing for real-time data exchange and coordination with other friendly forces. It can share information with ground forces and other aircraft, enhancing situational awareness and mission effectiveness.6. Agile Maneuverability: The Apache is highly maneuverable, capable of flying at low altitudes and in challenging terrain. Its agility enables it to conduct close air support missions in complex environments, including urban areas, where precise targeting and rapid response are crucial.7. Crew and Cockpit Configuration: The Apache has a two-person crew, consisting of a pilot and a co-pilot/gunner. The crew sits in a tandem cockpit configuration, providing excellent visibility for both crew members. The pilot controls the aircraft, while the co-pilot/gunner operates the weapons systems.The AH-64 Apache has been widely deployed by the U.S. Army and has also been exported to various countries around the world. Its combat-proven capabilities, versatility, and adaptability make it a formidable asset in modern warfare, capable of engaging a wide range of threats and supporting ground forces with precision firepower.Measures 10 x 9 x 21.

A rate late 19th century French nickel silver 'Angelus' carriage clockDesigned by Lucien Falize. The movement numbered 7901Surmounted by a handle of entwined dragons, over twelve titled circular panels cast into the sides, each representing a month of the year with an associated activity (sowing, harvesting, threshing etc); the rear set with a scene of the Admonition and the inscription 'Vigilate quia netcitis diem neque horam' Watch thee, for you know not the day nor the hour and a solid door with strapwork hinges and sliding bolt, the octagonal dial with gothic Roman numerals and fancy pierced hands with mythical beasts to the centre, over a scene of the Annunciation and the inscription 'Angelus Domini numtiavit Maria', The Angel of the Lord Announced to Mary, the underside cast in the same style with strapwork and hexagonal panel, signed AXF and depose. The rectangular carriage clock movement with folding integral handle tandem winding both trains, with lever platform escapement striking and repeating on a gong. 18cms (7ins) high. Footnotes:The plates are engraved AB and punch numbered 5036COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:A. Kenneth Snowman, The Master Jewellers, London, 1990, pp.61-72Lucien Falize, 'L'Orfevreue et la Bijouterie au Champs de Mars', Gazette des Beaux Arts, Paris, 1878Katherine Purcell, 'Catering for Every Taste', Apollo, February 1991Joseph Fanelli and Charles Terwilliger, A Century of Fine Carriage Clocks, Clock Trade Enterprises, 1987, pp.90-91Lucien Falize (1839-1897) and his father Alexis (1811-1898) were renowned designers and manufacturers of the finest decorative and enamelled jewellery. Alexis established the firm in 1832 and retired in 1876, whereupon his son took over and expanded the business. Lucien was particularly influenced by the enamel art of Japan and the revival of interest in Gothic and Renaissance art so popular in the last quarter of the 19th century.This particular model of clock - given the name Angelus - was first exhibited in ivory with gold and silver mounts at the 1878 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. The 'AXF' lozenge mark stamped on the underside of this lot was not used by Falize after he took Bapst, former French crown jeweller, as a partner in 1880, giving a timeline of possible production of this piece of 1878-1880.

A Regency ormolu mounted rosewood and parcel gilt breakfront low cabinet attributed to Marsh and TathamCirca 1810The superstructure with a breakfront upper tier, on four gilt bronze octagonal ring turned baluster shaped front columns, with a triple moulded panelled back comprised of one long central and two short end panels, each inset with intersecting waved grills and later pleated silk material, the top above an ovolo moulded cornice, over a frieze mounted with four ribbon wrapped and ribbon tied ivy wreath angles, with one large central panelled door inset with waved grills and later pleated silk, flanked by two smaller conforming doors, two of the doors enclosing one long fixed shelf and two short adjustable shelves, one end door enclosing six graduated solid mahogany drawers each with inset brass handles, interspersed with four panel mounted pilasters each headed by a lotus-leaf capital mount, terminating in a plinth base, with a triple chamfered panelled back, approximately: 153cm wide x 56cm deep x 119cm high, (60in wide x 22in deep x 46 1/2in high)Footnotes:A related pair of low bookcases attributed to Marsh and Tatham sold Christie's, London, 14 June 2001, Important English Furniture, lot 174. They have essentially identical laurel wreath and lotus-leaf paired ormolu mounts to those on the offered lot. All three of these cabinets, despite being of English origin, are clearly examples of the ancient Grecian inspired French Neoclassicism which was first promulgated in France during the 1790s. This style was then subsequently promoted in England, at the very beginning of the 1800s, by the then Prince of Wales (later to be George IV) in tandem with the renowned collector and connoisseur, Thomas Hope (d. 1831).The present cabinet, along with the aforementioned models, are each mounted with wreath ornamentation typically representing Apollo, the ancient Greek god of poetry, music and the arts. However, the pairing of pilasters headed by palm-flowered or lotus-leaf ormolu work with these distinctive wreath mounts is most likely a reference to the grecian choragic monument of Thrasyllus, which appears illustrated in J. Stuart and N. Revett, The Antiquities of Athens, 1762. Importantly, almost identical gilt bronze adorned pilasters are a prominent element on a satinwood desk provided in 1811 for Carlton House in London, upon behalf of the Prince of Wales. This was executed by the renowned cabinet making partnership of William Marsh and Thomas Tatham, see W.H. Pyne, Carlton House, 1817 and J. O'Brien & D. Guinness, Great Irish Houses and Castles, 1992, London, p. 161.The particularly well defined and highly detailed mounts on the offered model were almost certainly produced by Alexis Decaix (d.1811), who was a French bronze-founder based on Old Bond Street. Decaix supplied ormolu upon behalf of the then Prince of Wales (later George IV) and in turn gained recognition in large part due to the hugely influential collector and designer, Thomas Hope, via the latter's 1807 publication, Household Furniture and Interior Decoration.Similar gilt bronze wreath mounts also feature on a desk provided for Hothfield Place in Kent, which was home to the 9th Earl of Thanet. This desk sold Christie's, 27 November 1969, lot 142. Closely related palms or lotus leaves, as appear on the above, are among the ormolu mounts adorning the yew wood bookcases made in 1806 by the firm of Marsh and Tatham for the Prince of Wales. One of these bookcases sold Christie's, 3 July 1997, lot 70. Such Grecian ornament, which was often favoured by Marsh and Tatham, drew its more recent inspiration from the Neoclassical furniture housed at the Duchess Street property belonging to Thomas Hope, as well as from the latter's designs. Another rosewood bookcase, made in 1806 by Marsh and Tatham, which has similar ormolu mounts to both the present and aforementioned examples, is one forming part of the Royal Collection, Buckingham Palace. This appears illustrated in M. Jourdain, Regency Furniture, 1795-1820, 1948, Glasgow, fig. 11, p. 64.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP 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.

Lee Bros/Jamie Whitham 1985 Kawasaki KR250 Tandem Twin, 249cc. Registration number G654 DCX. Frame number 010507. Engine number 008534.Sold with the V5C, DVLA printed ownership history, Lee Bros copy of certificate of newness, MOT's, email from Whitham confirming he rode a Lee Bros KR250 in the 1985 Manx GPThe Tandem Twin is a rare machine, they were only sold in Japan, Australia and South Africa and competed against the Suzuki RG. As well as being one of the rarest 250 two-strokes, the KR is also one of the most technically interesting. Its motor is a dual-crank tandem-twin, with Kawasaki's Rotary Reed Valve Induction System (RRIS), as used on the AR125. This gives it a much broader spread of power than the reed valve only RG - the KVSS power valve equipped KR250S introduced in '86 is claimed to be even more tractable.The chassis is striking too. There's an adjustable underslung shock, a braced swing arm, adjustable anti-dive forks, triple discs, a hand-welded aluminium frame and styling that gives more than a nod to the GPZ900R. Although complicated it helps the bike to remain very narrow, as exhaust routing and expansion chambers no longer have to run underneath the engine as they do on most parallel-twin engines. In this case, they both exit on the right side of the bike: one down low, the other partly through the tailpiece in flamboyant 1980s style. The round tail lamp is set into the kicked-up tail and the bolt-on hand-fairings are an unusual touch. The 45 hp engine was good for over 110 mph and had a six speed gearbox. This machine, imported by Lee Bros of Sowerby Bridge is believed to have been ridden by Jamie Whitham in the 1985 Manx GP.In 1989 it was road registered and they sold it to David Graham of Sheffield, then Jackwood Motorcycles sold it to Nathan Corridge? of Sheffield, Andrew Ross of Doncaster in 1995 and then Deborah Poles of Wetherby in 1996. Peter Jackson of Knaresborough was the next owner in 1998 and our vendor bought it from him the same year. It was MOT'd in 1998 at 8967 km and in 1999 at 9,203km. In storage since then it now shows 9,700km.This rare machine, with probable Jamie Whitham Manx GP history is now ready for a new owner.Sold with the V5C, DVLA printed ownership history, Lee Bros copy of certificate of newness, MOT's, email from Whitham confirming he rode a Lee Bros KR250 in the 1985 Manx GP
OSCAR MURILLO (B. 1986)Untitled (Fried Chick) 2012 oil, oil stick, spray paint and dirt on canvas 248 by 181 cm.97 5/8 by 71 1/4 in.This work was executed in 2012.Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate Collection, LAPrivate Collection, UK (acquired directly from the above in 2013) Sale: Bonhams, London, Modern & Contemporary Art, 27 June 2019, Lot 33Acquired directly from the above by the present ownerCompelling, spirited and grand in scale, Untitled (Fried Chick) (2012) is foundational work by the Colombian-born, Turner Prize nominated artist Oscar Murillo; exhibiting all the hallmarks of his energetic and spontaneous style that combines raw panels of canvas, flashes of text and colour with aggregated dirt and impressions from the studio floor. Rising to artistic maturity and institutional acclaim in monumental fashion, his inclusion in such major exhibitions as The Forever Now: Contemporary Painting in an Atemporal World at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 2014, in addition to solo exhibitions at the Centro Cultural Daoíz y Velarde, Madrid and the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, has cemented Murillo's international standing as one of the foremost contemporary painters currently working; culminating in his nomination for the Turner Prize in 2019 for his exhibition Violent Amnesia at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge. Untitled (Fried Chick) is an elegant example of Murillo's collaging of surfaces and techniques that flaunts the dirt from the artist's studio floor, bringing the painting to life through its closeness to the 'authentic' detritus and rubble of Murillo's workspace. In the present work, the raw support of the canvas plays host to an almost performative mark-making, suffused with a palpable energy that channels the automatic motions of Jackson Pollock, complemented by a revisionist ideology that Murillo credits to the Neo-concretism of Lygia Clark, Lygia Pape and Hélio Oiticica. The present work comes to market following Murillo's nomination for the Turner Prize in 2019 – a significant recognition of the artist's distinguished practice and place amongst his contemporaries. An exemplary early work by Murillo, Untitled (Fried Chick) is an immense painting of masterful austerity, eliciting all of the methods and conceptual hooks that has made Murillo such an internationally lauded artist.Activating the more static, Modernist modes of abstract painting through installations, social gatherings and interactive artworks, Murillo's multifaceted practice has continued to express the artist's experiences of displacement and multiculturalism, demonstrated in the present work with a bravura charm and dynamic materiality. For Murillo, the process of painting provides a method of accumulation; composing his works through a build-up of material, of folds, marks and daubs of paint that illustrate the artist's own relationship to his itinerant lifestyle and 'layering' of identity. Born in La Paila in South East Colombia, Murillo remains deeply influenced by his roots and his arrival in London as an immigrant at the age of ten. The present work represents a superbly nuanced evocation of these themes, employing single words or phrases that encourage a reading of Murillo's paintings through the lens of cultural critique. Where words such as 'pollo,' 'yoga,' 'milk' and 'mango' appear across Murillo's oeuvre, they become aesthetic devices in tandem with their implicit meaning – impactful hand-sketched lines of text that divide the canvas in a similar vein to the paintings of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Murillo interprets his own unique style thusly: 'the words are very displaced. Like cultural displacement with performance, in painting it's material displacement, object displacement [...] I also like to think that these paintings also imply a displacement of time. They're like rugs. An unstretched painting is a kind of abstract thing, one that suggests that it perhaps has been found or comes from some other space or time. But while it has this aura of being a historical thing when placed out of context, it just comes from the studio' (the artist in conversation with Legacy Russell, 'Bomb Magazine', www.bombmagazine.org, 1 Jan 2013).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: AR TP ▲AR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.TP 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.

Vadim situated the story in the 1960s causing a huge scandal (as it did in the 18th century) because of its sexually explicit and cruel nature. The movie was initially banned (later it became an 'R' rated movie), but its eventual succes was immense. (total 32)

Die Galerie, die sie in ihrem Haus betrieb, avancierte quasi zu einer Sehenswürdigkeit Amsterdams. Monarchen wie Zar Peter der Große, Kurfürst Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz oder Mary Stuart, die Frau König Williams III. sowie zahllose Dichter und Künstlerkollegen besuchten sie, um ihr bei ihren sorgfältigen Schnitten zuzusehen und diese zu erwerben.Drei Jahre nach ihrem Tod widmet ihr der befreundete Aquarellist Herman Henstenburgh das vorliegende Blatt. Der aus Hoorn stammende Künstler war ein Schüler von Johannes Bronckhorst (1648-1727), und erlangte für seine makellose Technik und seine leuchtenden Farben schon zu Lebzeiten großes Ansehen. Die letzte Zeile seiner posthumen Würdigung an Koerten ist wohl so zu verstehen, dass die von ihm bewunderte Johanna ihren Freunden genommen, aus dem Leben gerissen wurde - "Wie eine Blume wegen ihres Duftes oder durch den stürmischen Wind und den Regen abgerissen wird, so wurde Johanna Koerten, die durch die Begabung ihres Geistes und durch ihre brillante Kunst aufblühte, schließlich von ihrem Wohnsitz vertrieben."

Auflage 100 num. Ex. Herausgegeben von gravures Tandem 74, Gerpinnes 1983. Jo Delahaut war einer der ersten abstrakten Künstler Belgiens nach 1945. Als Mitglied der Künstlergruppe La Jeune Peinture Belge gestaltete er 1946 bereits erste abstrakte Werke. 1952 gründete er zusammen mit Pol Bury die Künstlergruppe Art Abstrait. Zu dieser Zeit entstand bereits sein einzigartiger Stil, der sich mit der Dekomposition geometrischer Formen beschäftigt. Durch Vereinfachung seiner Motive bewegte er sich immer mehr in Richtung Farbfeldmalerei, die sich wie bei unserer Mappe durch intensive Farben und reduzierte Formen auszeichnet.
