Duckling, Woman to Woman: Female Negotiations During the Long Eighteenth Century, Newark, 2010, pp. 101-116. This portrait of Catherine Boevey (d. 1726), 'The Perverse Widow', represents the most celebrated of the Crawley-Boevey ancestors. After her death, her 'genius and good judgement' and 'the wit and elegance of her conversation' was lauded by George Ballard (c. 1706-55) in his Memoirs of Several Ladies of Great Britain who have been Celebrated for their Writing or Skill in the Learned Languages, Arts, and Sciences (1752). Catherine was the sole heir of her wealthy father, John Riches, an Amsterdam merchant resident in London. In 1684, she married William Boevey (1657-92) of Flaxley Abbey, also of Dutch mercantile descent, who was probably responsible for improvements made to the west wing as several firebacks in the mansion are marked 'W.B. 1685'. The marriage was unhappy and childless but by 1692 William was dead. By his Will, she was granted life residency of the great estate of Flaxley that included furnaces and forges for iron casting, and Catherine became one of the only female landholders in Gloucestershire in this period. Although it was customary for wealthy widows to remarry, Catherine chose to remain single. The moniker 'The Perverse Widow' possibly relates to Catherine's rejection of the attentions of her neighbour Sir John Pakington, 4th Baronet of Westwood Park (fictionalised in the Tatler as Sir Roger de Coverley). In addition to her education and good sense, she frequented intellectual and literary circles in London and was known for her charitable works - she was one of the earliest promoters of Sunday School teaching, the founder of the annual Three Choirs Festival and a supporter of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospels. She was considered a great beauty, and was adept in the female accomplishment of singing and music. Another admirer, Sir Richard Steele, dedicated the second volume of his The Ladies Library (1714) to Catherine. After her death a monument was erected in Westminster Abbey. Condition Report: The canvas has been relined. Some surface dirt and discolouration of the varnish. Significant discolouration of old retouches, mainly visible in the sitter's arms, neck and face.

A GEORGE II LEAD FIGURAL GARDEN SUN DIAL ATTRIBUTED TO JOHN CHEERE AFTER JOHN NOST MID 18TH CENTURY The solid gnomon and dial above the crouching figure of Father Time or Kronos, the dial signed "B MARTIN, LONDON" and indistinctly engraved with the Boevey escutcheon of arms 152cm high overall, the base 92cm wide 74cm deepProvenance:Possibly acquired by Thomas Crawley-Boevey, 1st Bt. of Flaxley (1709-69), at the time of his marriage to Susanna (née Lloyd) in May 1743, and by descent at Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire, until sold and removed from the premises- Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire: Catalogue of the Valuable Contents, Bruton, Knowles & Co., 29 March - 5 April 1960, lot 1009.Returned to Flaxley Abbey by Frederick Baden WatkinsLiterature: Arthur W. Crawley-Boevey, A Brief Account of the Antiquities, Family Pictures and Other Notable Articles at Flaxley Abbey, co. Gloucester, Bristol, 1912, p. 36, no. 3.Mrs. A. Gatty, The Book of Sun-dials, London, 1900, 4th edition, p. 472.R. Bowling, 'Sundial Supporters Revisited', BSS Bulletin [The British Sundial Society], vol. 19, September 2007, p. 126.This 18th century lead sundial was described as 'The Flaxley Sundial' when it was sold from the Flaxley Abbey estate in 1960. The lead figure of Father Time is depicted as a bearded old man kneeling under the weight of a bronze dial that bears the Boevey coat of arms. He is shown with wings to represent how 'time flies'. 'B. Martin', possibly the maker, is incised on the dial. He is shown with wings to represent how 'time flies'. 'B. Martin', possibly the maker, is incised on the dial. It's possible that the maker of the sundial was Benjamin Martin who worked between 1738 and 1777 from one address in Chichester and five in Fleet Street and latterly as Benjamin Martin & Son until 1782 when the firm went bankrupt.At the time of cataloguing only two similar sundials of this particular kneeling form of Time were noted. One, with receipt dated for 1743 by John Cheere, was noted at Blair Castle, Perthshire (RCAHMS SC 763911). As the lead was piece-moulded, Cheere could assemble parts in new configurations; this was supposedly the case with the Blair Castle example, which is adapted from John Nost I's (fl. 1677-1710) Indian sun dial at Melbourne Hall, Derbyshire (I. Roscoe, A biographical dictionary of sculptors in Britain, 1660-1851, New Haven and London, 2009, p. 262).Another version of Father Time was formerly at St. Osyth Priory, Essex- however it has been noted that this one was of a slightly different form- with just one hand holding the plate above. It was listed in the house sale of 1920 as: 'A fine XVII cent. cast lead figure of Time supporting a sundial, 3' 6" high on a square stone base' (In fact, it was 18th century and life-size). The sundial failed to sell, and remained at St. Osyth Priory until 1986; its present whereabouts are unknown, and no image is extant (R. Bowling, 'Sundial Supporters Revisited', BSS Bulletin [The British Sundial Society], vol. 19, September 2007, p. 126).Subsequent research has shown an almost identical sundial to this lot- offered by Seago Antique Garden Furniture, 22 Pimlico Road London, and illustrated at the back of John Davis "Antique Garden Ornament" (Antique Collector's Club 1991). The Seago lead statue of Father Time is recorded with provenance for Fonthill House, Wiltshire, home of Alderman William Beckford. Unfortunately its current whereabouts is unknown and the maker of the sundial plate unrecorded.A related sundial known as the 'Blackamoor' is recorded in the gardens of the Inner Temple, London (W. Lethaby, Leadwork, old and ornamental, and for the most part English, London, 1893, pp. 101-111). This sundial is signed on the dial 'Ben Scott in the Strand Londini Fecit' and '1731'. It is almost certainly after an earlier model by John Nost I, who at the turn of the century, was awarded a contract for an extensive programme of sculptural works at Hampton Court Palace, Middlesex, including a 'Blackamore' sundial. The records state that Nost I was employed 'for modelling a figure of a Blackamore kneeling being 5 ft high holding up a sundial', and for 'casting the said Blackamore in hard metal and repainting'. Another 'blackamoor' sundial attributed to Nost I based on the Melbourne Hall example sold Sotheby's, London, 10 July 2014, lot 140 (£56,250 inc. premium).The tradition of casting statues in lead dates back to the Roman period, but in Britain it was particularly prevalent in the late-17th and 18th centuries when lead figures featured predominantly as garden statuary. Nost I founded the original lead figure manufactory in London, at the Hyde Park Corner end of Piccadilly. This neighbourhood became the centre for the production of lead figures with a number of lead yards in operation, including that of Nost's cousin, John Nost II (d. 1729), who took over the family business, and John Cheere, known for his life-size lead figures that were often painted 'to resemble nature'. It is additionally noted that the Blair Castle version of this may have been painted to resemble marble.Condition Report: Weathering, wear, marks, knocks and scratches as per age, handling, use, and cleaning. Comparison with the two photographed similar examples at Blair Castle () and with Seago in 1991 (see additional images) shows that each is mounted on a stone plinth base, right foot down and the left overlapping at the back. In this example however the left ankle has a bracing rest, the right foot is slightly elevated and an iron rod runs up from the plinth into the body. Evidently the rod and possibly the plinth are therefore later- part of a conservation process to ensure greater stability to the figure. In each photographed comparable example there is damage or repair evident to the legs/feet. This lot shows old remedial and conservation work- notably around the left ankle, foot and knee. However weathering has resulted in colour variance to the surface throughout- making it difficult to determine whether further work was carried out on the right leg, limb extremities and around mould-junction points. There does seem to have been restoration work at the shoulders, and elbows- and slight feather crack to left elbow. Certainly with this lot there is a notable colour difference to the fingers of both hands- a natural weak spot- which suggests old repairs. Additionally, there has been discussion as to the colour and form of the sundial circular surround. Comparison with the other two shows a similar colour variance and smoothness- a paler slightly greener colour- suggesting it may have been cast slightly differently from the main body for stability and accuracy to accommodate the sundial plate. The plate itself is not fixed in place- with vacant screw holes. The plate has strong scattered verdigris patina and the markings are faint and rubbed. Please see additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.All lots are of an age and type which means that they may not be in perfect condition and should be viewed by prospective bidders; please refer to Condition 6 of the Conditions of Business for Buyers.Condition Report Disclaimer

Messel, Oliver Messel: in the theatre of design, New York, 2011, p. 125, 'the morning room' These mirrors are possibly the pair referred to by Oliver Messel as from Nymans, the Messel family country seat, which he intended to sell to Frederick Baden Watkins for Flaxley Abbey: 'I've got a pair of mirrors at Nymans that would look right there' (C. Castle, Oliver Messel: A Biography, London, 1986, p. 217). They bear a white chalk inscription 'Mess' suggesting they were from the Messel collection. Baden Watkins wrote of Oliver's obsessive commission at Flaxley: 'We first of all asked Oliver to design just the drawing room and the morning room, and it went on and on after that until he left for Barbados. I daresay that if he hadn't gone, he would still be working on the house today. He had his own room and studio here and always said that he would like to retire here; but the English weather was no good for his arthritis and so he stayed in the West Indies even though he left many of his belongings here (ibid., p. 216). The mirrors were photographed by Country Life in the Morning Room at Flaxley in 1973 (J. Lees-Milne, 'Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire - III: The Home of Mr. and Mrs. F.B. Watkins', Country Life, 12 April 1973, p. 981, fig. 4).

FOLLOWER OF GILBERT JACKSONPORTRAIT OF JAMES BOEVEY, AGED 11, FULL LENGTH IN A GREEN DOUBLET AND HOSE, HOLDING A GLOVE, BY A TABLE WITH AN OPEN BOOK IN A CURTAINED INTERIOROil on canvas (in an 18th century frame)Dated 'AN.O DOM: 1634/AETATIS SUAE II' with identifying inscription146 x 99cm (57¼ x 38¾ in.) Provenance: Possibly commissioned by Andreas Boevey (1566-1625), and by descent at Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire, until sold Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire: Catalogue of the Valuable Contents, Bruton, Knowles & Co., 29 March - 5 April 1960, lot 1295Bought by Mr and Mrs Frederick Baden-Watkins and thence by descent at Flaxley AbbeyLiterature:Compiled by: Arthur W. Crawley-Boevey, 'The Perverse Widow': Being Passages from the Life of Catharina, wife of William Boevey, Esq., London, 1898, p. 37. Arthur W. Crawley-Boevey, A Brief Account of the Antiquities, Family Pictures and Other Notable Articles at Flaxley Abbey, co. Gloucester, Bristol, 1912, pp. 11-12, no. 2. J. Lees-Milne, 'Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire - III: The Home of Mr. and Mrs. F.B. Watkins', Country Life, 12 April 1973, p. 982, fig. 5, The Morning Room. This full-length painting is a companion piece to lot 51, Joanna Boevey (1605-64), aged 11, daughter of Andreas Boevey (1566-1625) and his first wife, Esther Fenne. This portrait probably depicts James Boevey (1622-96), Joanna's half-brother, son of Andreas and his second wife, Joanna (née de Wilde). The two portraits were probably painted to mark the children's coming of age when they were eleven. James, merchant and philosopher, was, in later life, only five feet tall, 'slenderly built with extremely black hair curled at the ends, an equally black beard, and the darkest of eyebrows hovering above dark but sprightly hazel eyes' (com accessed 14 June 2022). His early career was as a 'cashier' for the banker Dierik Hoste, and for the Spanish ambassador in London, while in the employ of the Dutch financier Sir William Courten. A known figure in Restoration London, Samuel Pepys described him as: 'a solicitor and a lawyer and a merchant altogether who hath travelled very much; did talk some things well, only he is a Sir Positive; but talk of travel over the Alps very fine' (Pepys, 9.206). Although his writings on 'Active Philosophy' were never published, they circulated widely amongst his friends and acquaintances. In 1642, James Boevey and his half-brother, William, made a joint-purchase of Flaxley Abbey. In 1912, it was argued that the painting was in fact a portrait of Abraham Clarke the Younger rather than James Boevey (A.W. Crawley-Boevey, A Brief Account of the Antiquities, Family Pictures and Other Notable Articles at Flaxley Abbey, co. Gloucester, Bristol, 1912, pp. 11-12, no. 2). This was based on a discrepancy between the date of the painting and the age of the sitter - in 1634, Joanna Clarke's son (née Boevey), Abraham the Younger, born in 1623, was aged 11 while his uncle and Joanna's half-brother, James, born in 1622, would have been 12 years old when the portrait was painted. In the 'old Flaxley List', the painting was recorded as 'Mr. Clarke' and attributed to Van Dyck. However, in retrospect, it seems more likely that Andreas Boevey would have commissioned a portrait of his children, Joanna and James. The Van Dyck attribution seems unlikely if he is to be credited with the companion portrait of Joanna, painted in 1616, as Van Dyck did not arrive in England until 1620 (ibid.). A 19th-century copy of this portrait was painted and published in Crawley-Boevey, A.W.C., The Perverse Widow, Being Passages from the Life of Catharina, Wife of William Boevey, 1898, p. 34. Condition Report: Overall in good condition. Canvas has been relined and mounted on a later stretcher, providing good support. A layer of surface dirt and discolouration of the varnish.

Crawley-Boevey, A Brief Account of the Antiquities, Family Pictures and Other Notable Articles at Flaxley Abbey, co. Gloucester, Bristol, 1912, p. 11, no. 1; p. 12. In the 1960 sale of the house contents of Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire, this painting was ascribed to 'Sandvort'. The portrait represents Joanna Boevey (1605-64) as a young girl, aged 11, daughter of Andreas Boevey (1566-1625), a Dutch Huguenot emigré, merchant, financier and elder of the Dutch church at Austin Friars. Joanna married Abraham de Clerke (also Dutch, anglicised to Clarke). After 1654, James I transferred the Flaxley estate to Joanna's brother, William Boevey, who gifted a share to his sister, and directed that the remainder be sold after his death for the benefit of his wife. In 1661, Joanna bought out her sister-in-law, and lived at Flaxley with her son, Abraham Clarke the younger. On Abraham's death in 1683, he bequeathed the estate to his cousin, also named William Boevey (1657-92), son of his half-uncle, James (J. Lees-Milne, 'Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire - I: The Home of Mr. and Mrs. F.B. Watkins',Country Life, 29 March 1973, pp. 844-845). A second painting of Joanna as an adult is recorded at Flaxley in 1912, and at this date was tentatively attributed to Cornelius Jansen (1585-1638) (A.W. Crawley-Boevey, A Brief Account of the Antiquities, Family Pictures and Other Notable Articles at Flaxley Abbey, co. Gloucester, Bristol, 1912, p. 11, no. 2; p. 13).

A SET OF EIGHT GEORGE II WALNUT AND PARCEL GILT DINING CHAIRSCIRCA 1730With repeating eagle motifs, each vertical splat with the Altieri crest, the six stars surmounted by a galero, mantle and tassels, each with drop in seats and cabriole legs terminating in claw and ball feeteach 104cm high, 53cm wide, 49cm deep; together with a pair of later chairs to match, 19th century(10) Provenance:Possibly commissioned by Vincenzo Maria Altieri for Palazzo Altieri, Rome Formerly the Messel family collection in the Dining Room at their 104 Lancaster Gate residenceThence by descent to Oliver Messel Purchased from Oliver Messel by Frederick and Phyllis Baden Watkins for Flaxley AbbeyLiterature: J. Lees-Milne, 'Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire - III: The Home of Mr. and Mrs. F.B. Watkins', Country Life, 12 April 1973, p. 980, fig. 2, The Entrance Hall. Sale Room notice: One of the drop in seats are missing from the chair J. Musson, 'Bradley Court, Gloucestershire', Country Life, 15 September 2005, pp. 133-134 and fig. 5. T. Messel, Oliver Messel: in the theatre of design, New York, 2011, pp. 122-123, 'the entrance hall'. This set of ten walnut and parcel-gilt dining chairs together with two mahogany examples en suite bear the arms of the Altieri family from Rome. They were originally at 104 Lancaster Gate, the London family of Britain's greatest stage director and artist, Oliver Messel (1904-78). When Nymans burnt down in 1947, Oliver and his two siblings received some of the remaining contents, and after the death of their mother, Maud (née Sambourne), in 1960, Oliver inherited more of the furniture from Lancaster Gate and Holmstead Manor. The chairs were subsequently sold by Oliver to his clients, Frederick and Phyllis Watkins, for Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire, almost certainly around 1960 when he was assisting them with the renovation and refurbishment of the abbey; a project that he worked on sporadically until 1973. Frederick Baden Watkins wrote how very gifted Oliver was: 'Once he had an inspiration, he'd get a piece of paper and sketch it out. What could have taken me five years, would take him five minutes' (C. Castle, Oliver Messel: A Biography, London, 1986, p. 216). When a room was completed, Oliver would look to his own collection for furniture: 'I've got a pair of mirrors at Nymans that would look right there', and Watkins would buy them (ibid., p. 217). Furniture probably also came from Oliver's London house, Pelham Place, as he wrote: 'Poor Pelham Place, I gather, is now striped to the bone. George has gone down to Flaxley with another load' (ibid., p. 226). Two of these chairs were photographed in the Entrance Hall at Flaxley in 1973 (J. Lees-Milne, 'Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire - III: The Home of Mr. and Mrs. F.B. Watkins', Country Life, 12 April 1973, p. 980, fig. 2). The chairs with their Italian Altieri coat-of-arms complimented Oliver's large mural painting of an Italianate urn. A central arcaded recess with a Robert Adam-style doorway led from the entrance hall to the dining room where presumably the remainder of the suite was situated. Oliver's nephew Thomas Messel made a contemporary set of chairs modelled on the Altieri set for his own home at Bradley Court, Gloucestershire (J. Musson, 'Bradley Court, Gloucestershire', Country Life, 15 September 2005, pp. 133-134, fig. 5). In 1986, Thomas included this model of chair, both side and armchairs, in his firm's furniture range, which he named the 'Venetian' Cardinal Chair' (National Art Library, TL.Thom 1.1). The papal family of Altieri became extinct in 1955, with the death of the last prince, Prince Ludovico Altieri (1878-1955). It is not known how this set became part of the Messel collection but it is possible that they were collected by either Ludowig Messel or Leonard Messel- both enthusiastic collectors- in the early 20th century. The broad proportions of these chairs with their waisted upright back posts, solid shaped baluster splat, compass seat and cabriole legs are typical of high quality 'banister back' chairs of the 1730s. The arched crest rail has evolved from the milkmaid's yoke found in Chinese prototypes. The chair-back is slightly bent to ergonomically fit the back of the sitter. The introduction of the 'India back' - India or Indian being used to denote all of South and South East Asia - also sometimes called a 'bended', 'crook'd' or 'sweep' back chair is considered 'the most radical and far-reaching design innovation of the eighteenth century' (A. Bowett, Early Georgian Furniture 1715-1740, Woodbridge, 2009, p. 156). Related crest rails and splats can be found on a set of walnut chairs, 1734, supplied by Daniel How and Thomas Moore in the Lady Lever Art Gallery, Port Sunlight (ibid., p. 180, plate 4:73). Another example made in giltwood, 1730-40, was probably made for Richard Temple, 1st Viscount Cobham, for Stowe House, Buckinghamshire (ibid., p. 181, plate 4:75). The back of the splats of the present chairs have been chamfered to 'lighten' their appearance. These chairs are highly unusual for the carved decoration on the 'shoe' (where the splat joins the back of the drop-in seat) and the stylised claw and ball feet. Condition Report: There are scratches, marks, knocks, cracks and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are losses, observations and restorations including: missing one of the drop in seats; one of the drop in seats with a hand written label in ink 'Col. Messel'; there is evidence of worm; the parcel gilt rubbed and knocked revealing in some places the underlying washes, gesso or wood; some damage and restorations including split vase shaped splats, leg and seat rail joints, dowelling repairs, metal braces, inset wood repairs, repairs with screws. The red silk damask worn, marked and some torn, the hessian webbing visible to the undersides.Please see the additional photographs as a visual reference of condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

Messel, Oliver Messel: in the theatre of design, New York, 2011, p.119A chandelier of an almost identical design was supplied to main showroom of Rayne's shoe shop by Oliver Messel. It would be this earlier project which encouraged Phillis Baden Watkins to commission Messel to complete the restorations at Flaxley. The lustre drops were an embellishment made by Messel on the original design.Condition Report: Some flaking to the gilding of the central acanthus leaf bowl and with visible cracked section. The majority of the candle branches have wired repairs holding on the leaf sections suspending the swag drops. All drops appear present. See images available upon request.Condition Report Disclaimer
ANGLO-DUTCH SCHOOL (CIRCA 1740)VIEW OF A HOUSE WITH PROJECTING ANGLE PAVILIONS, IN A PARK WITH AN OVAL POOL, FIGURES IN THE FOREGROUNDOil on canvas139.7 x 180.3cm (55 x 70 in.)Provenance:Probably the Messel family collection at Nymans until the fire in 1947In the Drawing Room at Holmstead Manor and thence by descent to Oliver MesselPurchased from Oliver Messel by Frederick and Phyllis Baden Watkins for Flaxley AbbeyLiterature: J. Harris, The Artist and the Country House, London, 1979, p.212, pl.223, The present picture was in the collection of Colonel Leonard and Maud Messel in the Drawing Room at Holmstead Manor. It is likely that, like so much of the Messel collection, it was originally at Nymans and removed to Holmstead after the disastrous fire in 1947. After the death of his mother in 1960, Oliver Messel inherited the picture but later sold it between 1962 and 1966 to Frederick Baden-Watkins for the dining room at Flaxley Abbey.The artist and house remain unidentified, but John Harris dates the picture to the 1740's. He also suggests that the house, with it's four towers set at the angles of the square centre block, is a layout seen in some engraved plans by Sebastiano Serlio, although it was probably built in the 1670's and 80's. There is a passing similarity to Thirlestane Castle in the Scottish Borders, the seat of the Dukes of Lauderdale. There is no record of formal gardens and the castle was remodelled and enlarged in the 1840's by William Burn. Pentimenti in the centre of the pictures show that the artist originally included a carriage on the central avanue which was later removed.It is interesting to note that this picture was painted during, and appears to depict, the transition period when country houses were sweeping aside their formal Anglo-Dutch baroque canals, cascades and avenues and favouring visions of arcadia by implementing bucolic schemes of rolling parkland enacted and influenced by the work of William Kent and later Lancelot Capability Brown. Condition Report: The canvas has been relined. Surface dirt and a yellowing of the varnish. Vertical stretcher marks visible in the centre of the canvas. Some areas of craquelure. Several repairs visible to the naked eye, as well as several repairs which are revealed under UV light. More scattered retouching visible under UV light. Condition Report Disclaimer

Gloucester, Bristol, 1912, pp. 11, no. 7.Francis Vanacker (d.1686, aged 38) was High Sheriff of Kent and a descendant from a London merchant family. He married Cornelia Boevey (d.1702) in 1671, who was the only daughter of the merchant, lawyer and philosopher James Boevey (1622-1696) by his second wife Isabella de Visscher. Upon Francis' death in 1686 Cornelia remarried to William Bateman of Clifton. She died at Erith Manor in 1702 without issue making it likely that this pair of portraits were inherited by her sister-in-law Catherina, owing to the early death of her brother William in 1692. Condition Report: Both with surface dirt and discolouration of the varnish, both canvases have been relined and show abrasions around the edges from contact with the frame. The male portrait with some bulging of the paint below his hair on the right, as well as a repaired tear in the same area. UV also reveals retouched craquelure in the sitter's face.

Er hielt als Emeritus noch alljährlich Kurse zum deutschen Wirtschaftsrecht an chinesischen Universitäten, hat als "visiting professor" schon in frühen Jahren in Kansas/USA gelehrt und fühlte sich im Übrigen besonders mit Frankreich verbunden. Er war Begründer und langjähriger Leiter des deutsch-französischen Studiengangs der Humboldt Universität und stand durch seine Ehefrau Sylvie und seine beiden Söhne auch familiär Frankreich sehr nahe (J. P. Meincke). Er vertrat politisch einen an den Werken von Adam Smith orientierten Wirtschaftsliberalismus mit sozialstaatlichen Elementen und kam in seinen Forschungen zur Geschichte der Sozial- und Arbeitslosenversicherung zu dem Ergebnis, dass es in Deutschland in der Neuzeit entgegen anderer Meinungen keine von staatlichem Einfluss freie Wirtschaft gegeben habe. Ergänzend untersuchte Benöhr die Geschichte der Juden als Minderheit in Deutschland. - Kein Versand, nur Abholung möglich.

The building in the classicist style was erected by him in 1809 and burned down in 1879. Another drawing with later handwr. inscription in graphite in Italian: "Orangerie della casa Vorouzof". Certainly the Vorontsov Palace in Odessa. The most magnificent drawing in the collection shows the northern façade of the Alexander Palace in Tsarskoye Selo (today's city of Pushkin), which was built by Catherine the Great for her grandson and future Emperor Alexander I for his wedding to Louise von Baden in the direct vicinity of the Catherine Palace. The neo-classical wing building with its characteristic imposing columns and statues was built between 1792-96 by the famous Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi (1744-1817), who was based in Russia. Furthermore, the collection contains drawings with facade views of unidentified palaces, one of them additionally with floor plans, as well as a palace in the style of the Italian Renaissance. One drawing with folding part. - Mostly with scale and partly with handwritten inscriptions in Russian or French. - Mostly with folds and small marginal defects as well as somewhat soiled and creased. One sheet with backed tear. The drawing of the theatre somewhat waterstained. Colours well preserved. Highly interesting collection on Russian architecture at the time of Empire.

Triple lys de mer fossile Triple Fossil Sea LilliesSeirocrinus subangularisLower JurassicPosidonienschiefer Formation, Holzmaden, Baden-Württemburg, GermanyArtfully prepared, the exquisite fossils stand out with remarkable three-dimensionality, highlighted by the subtle shimmer of pyritization from crowns to root. They remain attached to a piece of ancient petrified wood, surrounded by what appear to be a number of small mollusks. The Crinoid, known also as the Sea Lily or Feather Star, is one of the world's so-called 'living fossils', with species still to be found in today's oceans from Indonesia to the Caribbean. Their fossils are also found all over the world, but the most beautiful and desirable are those from the Posidonia shale beds of Holzmaden, in southern Germany. The present specimen, representing one of the finest fossil formations in the world, possesses open crowns which measure 21 x 13 cm, 23 x 14 cm, 23 x 12 cm across, respectively. Matrix measuring 130 x 100 x 2.8 cm For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
