An Arts and Crafts enamel and pearl pendant attributed to James Cromar Watt, circa 1905, gold mounted, the central blister pearl collet set and suspended below scrolling motifs each set with translucent enamels, in closed back settings, with freshwater pearl highlights and pendant drops, suspended from an open wirework bale, unmarked, length 6.2cm. £1,000-£1,500 --- James Cromar Watt (1862-1940) was born and grew up in Aberdeen and in 1879 began his training as an architect with W & J Smith of Aberdeen. In the late 1880s he travelled in Belgium, Germany and Italy which inspired his love of Renaissance arts and crafts. On his return he rejoined W & J Smith, and qualified as an architect at the Architectural School of the Royal Academy, London. Watt continued his travels in the 1890s, spending time in Greece, where his love for decoration and craft skills deepened. In the course of his travels, he appears to have begun dealing in works of art, taking a particular interest in ancient metalworks. By 1896, he had resigned his architectural associateship to concentrate exclusively on his work with precious metals. He took a particular interest in developing his skills in the ancient techniques of gold granulation and translucent foiled enamelling, working firstly on large objects, then concentrating on jewellery. Inspiration came from contemporary artists, including Alexander Fisher and Phoebe Traquair. During the First World War, Watt was engaged on secret government work - the true nature of which has never been disclosed. He did not return to jewellery-making - apparently due to failing eyesight - and devoted most of his energies into working with the English architect and goldsmith Henry Wilson, a friend since at least 1905, together completing the bronze tomb of Bishop Elphinstone, co-founder of the University of Aberdeen. He was granted an honorary degree in 1931 by the University of Aberdeen. Watt assembled an important collection of ancient ceramics and artefacts, particularly from China and the Far East, including porcelain, jade, silk paintings, ivories, lacquer work, enamels and bronzes. After his death in 1940, his collection was divided between the Aberdeen Art Gallery and the Royal Scottish Museum. Literature: Charlotte Gere/Geoffrey C.

A silver and enamel cigarette case, depicting the fictional character Fanny LeGrand wearing a black gown, descending a flight of steps, from the novel ‘Sappho’, by French author Alfonce Duadet, by maker Colen Hewer Cheshire, Birmingham 1892, length 8.7cm. £150-£200 --- The image to the front of the case is after the oil painting by Italian artist Ignace Spiridon, painted in 1894, depicting Fanny LeGrand, the main character from the French author Alfonce Duadet’s novel ‘Sappho’, published in 1884. The story was a thinly disguised autobiographical account of Daudet's love affair with the notorious Parisian model-cum-courtesan, Marie Rieu, the story perhaps written as moral tale intended for his two sons to read when of age. In 1900, an American play of the same name, ‘Sapho’ (sic) was produced by Clyde Fitch, and based on the 1884 French novel. The play caused a sensation in New York City leading to an indecency trial involving the play's star and producer/director, Olga Nethersole. The court case was ultimately considered to be a landmark case in the transformation of American society away from the Victorian morals of the past. Spiridon’s painting was used as the basis for the theatre posters advertising Olga Nethersole’s role in the play. The Broadway poster showed a more modest version of the dress length than seen in the original painting. Condition Report General wear and surface scratches. Weight 111.2gm.

Gilbert & Sons Ltd’ of Coventry, necklace length 38cm, bracelet approximately 18cm (with extending clasp later adapted). £4,000-£6,000 --- Giuseppe Girometti (1779-1851) was an Italian gem-engraver, sculptor and medallist, considered one of the finest gem-engravers in the first half of the 19th century. In 1812, he was elected to the Academia di San Luca in Rome as an engraver of hardstones, receiving numerous awards. On the command of master sculptor Canova, he was employed by the Papal Mint from 1822 as head engraver. Both Giuseppe and his son Pietro (1811-1859) were gem-engravers and both used the form ‘GIROMETTI’ to sign their work, without identifying initials. The British Museum Collection includes various Girometti cameos and research by O. M. Dalton (1915) and later discussion in The Hull Grundy Catalogue (1984) suggested that cameos attributable to Giuseppe bear a simple signature or one in Greek, whilst those attributed to Pietro show a slightly more elaborate version. The interest in gem-cutting and engraving in England in the first half of the 19th century had suffered a decline, resulting in large quantities of finely carved cameos being sourced from Italy and imported into London to be mounted by the many goldsmiths who specialised in cameo jewellery.
