‡ A VERY FINE SOUTH GERMAN SPORTING CROSSBOW (HALBE RÜSTUNG), DATED 1587 with heavy steel bow retaining its original painted finish comprising a trellis design sown with flowerheads on the front, back, upper and lower edges, early cords, green silk pom-poms and string, iron stirrup, tiller swelling about the nut, inlaid and veneered over much of its surface with engraved staghorn plaques (very small restorations, light wear), the top applied with a large plaque over its entire surface, decorated on the right side with an elaborate contemporary woodland hunting scene ahead of a castle, the owner’s coat-of-arms and a herm and further mounted figures, on the left with figurative scenes after Joachim Meyer and a further scene including St Michael slaying the serpent, an amorous couple, scrolling foliage and ball flowers, the bottom engraved with the date around the cocking rod aperture, scrolls, a pair of marine monsters and a niche with the figure of Ceres, fitted with bone nut, a pair of iron lugs for a cranequin, horn bolt-clip, gilt copper alloy back-sight, a gilt copper alloy cartouche engraved ‘ehrlich zu leben und selig zu sterben’ (to live honestly, to die in blessedness), etched trigger-plate, leather-bound writhen iron trigger (small losses), and a gilt copper alloy plaque enclosing the top and butt of the tiller (a working life repair), the string with circular brass inventory tag ‘1438’ and the tiller with another ‘1365’ Provenance Frank Bivens The arms are for a member of the Princes Salm family.

Raphael Manchon (1886-1975), studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Caen, and later with G. Ferrer in Paris. He exhibited at the salon of 1911, won the Prix Grand Prix de Rome in 1914 for engraving and a silver medal in 1924. The entry of Boutet’s Annuaire for the period of AN XII (September 24, 1803 to September 22, 1804) includes the following entry: Ministre du Relations ExtérieurFusil simple or, algérien, damasquiné au mat, or incruste, placage or filigrammes or, fr. 9.000 A gun of this quality, with its specific iconography, was almost certainly intended for presentation to the Algerian Dey. French-Algerian relations were highly charged during this period, originating in part from the French failure to pay their agents in Algeria for wheat. The tensions came to a head around 1827 when the French Consul reportedly insulted Hussain Dey who in turn struck him with a fly whisk. The Fly Whisk Incident was used by the French as grounds for their military assault, not least as they were concerned that the English were prepared to seize Algiers. French rule of Algeria followed in 1830. Nicholas Noël Boutet (1761–1833) is credited with being the principal innovator of the dramatic change in the design and decoration of French firearms that took place from the Revolution of 1789 through to Napoleon’s reign as Emperor (1804-14). Boutet was named directeur-artiste of the newly formed Versailles Arms Manufactory in 1792. The Versailles factory was the principal producer of regulation weapons for the French armies, additionally Boutet was charged with creating richly decorated arms for presentation to military heroes and foreign heads of state. The silver marks include the excise mark (poinçon de garantie) used in the Seine-Inferieure and the maker's mark for Jean Masson, JM separated by a pellet a five-point star above. The excise mark suggests that there was a workshop in or near Rouen, the centre of the department, which was a centre of export arms prior to the Revolution. The same series of marks occur on a number of elaborate garnitures by Boutet, including the celebrated garniture preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (acc. No. 1970.179.1) and another sold in this room 8th December 2021, lot 260. See Pyhrr 1973, pp. 266-274. The elaborate design and exceptional quality of the gold inlay is of significantly higher quality than other pieces made for presentation to dignitaries outside of Europe by Boutet and his workshop.
