Los 1591
9th-10th century A.D. A discoid lead insular Scandinavian domed trade weight with inset boss; the copper-alloy bridle mount very similar in design to one found at the late 9th/early 10th century Balladoole Viking boat burial on the Isle of Man in the 1940s; enamel-inlaid copper-alloy mount from a horse-harness set with a ribbed rim; the obverse decorated with a series of rectangular cells filled with opaque yellowish-green and reddish enamel, forming a circular border around a zoomorphic interlaced and spiral design formed by a series of sub-triangular and curving cloisons surrounding a circular central cell; the lead weight undecorated on the reverse. 194 grams, 43.5 mm (1 3/4 in.). Possibly found in Hampshire, UK. Acquired at a boot sale in Alton, Hampshire, UK in August 2023. Property of an Australian collector. Accompanied by a copy of the British Museum’s Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) report no.HAMP-7AD372. Recorded with Winchester City Museum and later the Finds Liaison Officer, Hampshire Cultural Trust, who in turn consulted with Medieval experts at the British Museum.This is an Insular Scandinavian weight which would have had an original weight of 8 ounces which is towards the heavier extreme for weights of this type, which re-use a variety of insular metalwork items as ready-made decoration. They appear to have originated in Viking contexts in England and/or Ireland in the late 9th century-early 10th century. Manufacture in the Isle of Man has been suggested for the entire group with similar designs and manufacturing techniques. The copper-alloy element is likely to be part of a Hiberno-Norse, Manx or possibly Scottish horse-harness boss; it probably has a pierced lug to the reverse, now embedded in the lead plug. It is very similar to pieces of the harness set from the ship burial at Balladoole, Arbory Isle of Man. No find spot is available, but the majority of weights with decorative insets do come from archaeological contexts such sites such as Torksey, Aldwark and Woodstown, or graves such as Kiloran Bay.

A rare pair of large Chinese coral ground blue and white enamel painted octagonal lobed jardinières, Shendetang Zhi marks, Daoguang period, Each finely painted to the exterior with alternating panels of lotus blooms issuing leafy scrolls and a bat in flight above a Buddhist chime amid leafy scrolls, painted in gilt to the rim, raised on four moulded ruyi-form feet, the base and interior in turquoise glaze, iron-red hallmark to base, 17cm high, 32cm diameter (2) Provenance: Formerly in the collection of Alfred Morrison (1821-1897), Fonthill House (with paper labels to base Fonthill Heirlooms, no. 603). Footnotes: Note: The Shendetang ('Hall of Prudent Virtue') was a residence within the Yuanmingyuan commissioned by the Daoguang Emperor, completed in 1831. Daoguang pieces bearing the Shendetang Zhi mark are therefore attributable to the two decades between 1831 and 1850. The presence of the label ‘Fonthill Heilooms’ is also significant. This refers to a collection assembled by Alfred Morrison MP. He acquired the most extraordinary collection of Chinese ceramics and works of art from Lord Loch of Drylaw in 1861, who had brought them to England from the Yuanmingyuan (Old Summer Palace) in 1860. Lord Loch had been Aide de Camp to the leader of the Allied Expeditionary Force, Lord Elgin. A pair of porcelain bowls bearing the same hallmark to the base were sold here at Roseberys for £67,000 (including buyer’s premium) on 9 November 2021, lot 42.

Through the work of the chemist Alessio Mattiloi, Raffaelli was able to create tiny tesserae made from spun enamel of extremely fine quality which allowed for the creation of complex compositions. Working from both his studio in the Piazza di Spagna and the Vatican workshops in Rome, his gallery became a place of pilgrimage for sophisticated European aristocrats on their Grand Tour.Following the French occupation of Rome in 1797, Raffaelli transferred his workshop to the Milanese Court of Eugene Bonaparte. However, the collapse of the Court in Milan saw Raffaelli return to Rome between 1815-20, and set up his flourishing workshop in the via del Babuino.Alongside his intricate and acclaimed micromosaics, Raffaelli was also fascinated with the mineral world and was a highly accomplished lapidary artist, using sophisticated combinations of marbles, jaspers and semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli, amethyst and malachite to create stunning table tops. The present lot can be almost certainly be attributed to Raffaelli combining as it does his genius in the techniques of both micromosaic and hardstone in a beautiful, harmonious design.The central circular scene in the micromosaic of the present lot with a chaffinch guarding its nest of eggs from a mouse can be directly compared with one of a pair of panels by Raffaelli sold by Sotheby’s, Pelham, The Public and the Private, 8 March 2016, lot 142, with provenance to Hamilton Palace, showing an identical scene alongside a second panel with a goldfinch and a serpent. Further comparisons can also be drawn to a plaque in the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, and another in the Palazzo Borromeo, Borromeo Islands. In all three of these panels the tree is lacking a further trunk on the far left which is part of the design of the present lot. In addition, there is an inkwell in the Wallace Collection, London, which includes a medallion of the same picture but lacking the nest of eggs. Close examination reveals in all these examples, including the present lot, Raffaelli’s trademark device to outline his birds and animals with white, rectilinear tesserae.The rich range of specimen marbles in the present lot can be compared with a table by Raffaelli sold Sotheby’s, Kentshire, New York, 18 October 2014, lot 156, with provenance to The Hon. John and Lady Augusta Kennedy-Erskine; and also a table at Trinity College, Cambridge, Fitzwilliam Museum (Massinelli op.cit p. 298). A further table, not fully attributed to Raffaelli, is at Ickworth House, Suffolk, and displays the same arrangement of specimen marbles surrounding a central micromosaic of The Doves of Pliny (NT 850351). The outer border with a band of verde antico marble in both the Kennedy-Erskine and Ickworth House table tops are identical to the present lot.While the base of the current table appears to be a later association, the ornamental scheme of the top combining a stunning lapidary palette with the intricate micromosaic can be attributed to the distinctive production of Raffaelli.
