EUGÈNE EMMANUEL VIOLLET-LE-DUC (1814-79) AND FATHER ARTHUR MARTIN (1802-1856) FOR POUSSIELGUE-RUSAND (1824–89) PAIR OF FIVE-LIGHT CANDELABRA, CIRCA 1860 cast and gilt bronze Dimensions:39.5cm wide, 64.5cm high, 18cm deep Provenance:Provenance: Private collection, Belgium, until November 2022 Paul Shutler Note: Literature: Barker M. 'An appraisal of Viollet-le-Duc (1814-1879) and his influence' Decorative Art Society Journal No. 16, 1992 Note: Viollet-le-Duc, his business partner Jean-Baptiste Lassus (1807-1857) and Father Arthur Martin all supplied designs to Notre Dame during its 25-year post-revolution restoration from 1845. The design of the lower portion of these candelabra was initially found in a set of six ormolu pricket candlesticks made by Poussielgue-Rusand for Notre-Dame in 1862. Viollet-le-Duc's drawing for these is in the Heritage and Media Photographic Library at Cherenton-le-Pont, Paris. A set of six of the original pricket candlesticks designs was also used in the chapel of Saint Michael, Saint Raphael & Saint Gabriel at the Cathedral of Saint Julian of Le Mans, France. The pricket design was also exhibited by Poussielgue-Rusand at the 1867 Paris Exposition Universelle. The upper section of candle arms was designed by Father Arthur Martin, and it featured in Poussielgue-Rusand’s catalogues from 1853, initially as a wall-mounted candle arm. Father Arthur Martin was a talented draughtsman and collector of medieval art and materials. In the 1840s he and his fellow Jesuit Brother Charles Cahier (1807-1882) began interpreting and classifying the collection. Their work was then published by Placide Poussielgue-Rusand from 1847 onwards in the highly influential multi-volume publication on medieval art entitled 'Mélanges d’archéologie, d’histoire, et de littérature'. The upper portion of the candelabra can also be compared to the grilles designed by Viollet-le-Duc in 1865 for the Basilica of Saint-Denis, among other places. An engraving of these was published in the Gazette des Architectes et du Batiment, Vol. 3 1865 No. 9, p. 133. A pair of Viollet-le-Duc’s pricket-design candlesticks in lacquered bronze is in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago and an elaborate casket designed by Father Martin is in the collection of Notre Dame. Viollet-le-Duc's writings on decoration and on the relationship between form and function in architecture had a fundamental influence on a whole new generation of architects, including all the major Art Nouveau artists. His writings also influenced John Ruskin, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, and William Burges admitted in his late life "We all cribbed on Viollet-le-Duc even though no one could read French."

ALBERT CHEURET (1884-1966) HANGING LAMP, CIRCA 1925 patinated bronze, alabaster, signed in the bronze ALBERT CHEURETDimensions:41cm diameter, 64cm highNote: Note: Albert Cheuret was born in 1884 in Paris. He studied sculpture with Jacques Perrin, a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris (fine arts school), and with Georges Lemaire. The artist began his career in 1907 and set up his studio at 11 Avenue Franco-Russe, near the Champ de Mars. Thereafter he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français, part of a milieu that included Auguste Rodin, Antoine Bourdelle, and Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux. After the First World War, Cheuret resumed his practice and secured several high-level commissions. His work is imbued with the clean lines of the Art Deco period and also bears the influence of images which began to appear after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, and the new language which it introduced into Western arts and crafts. At the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1925, Albert Cheuret rented a stall along the Alexandre III bridge and presented his famous light fixtures in bronze and alabaster, his favourite materials.

SIR EDWARD BURNE-JONES (1833-1898) FOR MORRIS & CO. 'ST. ANDREW' STAINED GLASS PANEL, 1909 stained, leaded and painted glassDimensions:176cm high, 44cm wide (frame 185cm x 50cm)Provenance:Provenance: The Chapel of Cheadle Royal Hospital, CheshireNote: Note: The contribution to the medium of stained glass by William Morris and his principal collaborator Edward Burne-Jones marked an epoch in its post-medieval development. By the 1890s, the reputation gained by Morris & Co. for their stained glass was such that a number of their patrons exclusively commissioned windows from the firm, to ensure the visual unity of their buildings. One such commission was from Cheadle Royal Hospital near Manchester, who in 1904 instructed Morris & Co. to glaze all of the windows of their new chapel. The glass was installed over four periods (1906, 1909, 1911, and finally in 1915), and this present example, depicting St Andrew, originally formed the left part of a three-light window, with St Matthew in the centre and St Peter on the right-hand side.This fine example of stained glass can be traced back to a drawing by Burne-Jones (BJ 514) that was first made for a window in St Mark’s Church, New Ferry, in 1876. It was then re-used at Holy Trinity, Sloane Street in London in 1894-95 and Albion Congregational Church in Ashton-under-Lyne in 1896 before it illuminated the chapel at Cheadle. The guiding principles that governed the manufacture of the Cheadle windows can be found in an article by Morris in 1890 in which he stressed the importance of clarity of design and colour, ‘The qualities needed in the design […] are beauty and character of outline […] Whatever key of colour may be chosen, [it] should always be clear, bright and emphatic.’

HALSEY RICARDO (1854-1928) (DESIGNER) THE BIRMINGHAM GUILD OF HANDICRAFT LTD (MAKER) PAIR OF DOUBLE WALL LIGHTS, CIRCA 1906-1907 24-carat gold-plated brass, gold foil enamel and original opalescent glass shades Dimensions:35.5cm wide, 30.5cm high, 19cm deep Provenance:Provenance: Supplied to Sir Ernest Debenham for Debenham House, 8 Addison Road, London, removed circa 1960 Phillips Auctioneers lots 148, 149, 150, 30th March 1993 Haslam & Whiteway, London one pair British Art Market 2014 Paul Shutler Note: Literature: The Architectural Review, An Essay in Colour Architecture, March 1907 Country Life, Madge Garland, 8 Addison Road, Kensington - The Town Houses of Halsey Ricardo - II, 20th November 1975Note: Sir Ernest Debenham (1865-1952) of the Debenham department store family, commissioned the architect and designer Halsey Ricardo to build him a house at 8 Addison Road in 1906. This house came to be known as Debenham House or, on occasion, The Peacock House. Halsey Ralph Ricardo established his architectural practice in 1878 but also worked in partnership with William De Morgan (1839-1917) designing ceramics. He advocated the use of architectural glazed tiles to resist the pollution of 19th century London. Debenham House is a striking example of this practice. Ricardo clad the external walls with glazed Burmantofts tiles in bands of peacock greens and blues. He fitted the four reception rooms, seventeen bedrooms and six bathrooms, all with De Morgan tiled fire surrounds (with no two alike) and with De Morgan pictorial panels throughout the building. In addition to this, he used various marbles and architectural elements clad with Doulton 'Carrara ware' tiles. Described as the last flourish of the Arts & Crafts movement, the house features plaster friezes by Ernest Gimson (1864-1919), stained glass by Edward Prior (1852-1932) and a mosaic designed by George Jack (1855-1931). Along with the exterior gates and railings, the interior door furniture, including the handles, finger plates, bell-pushes and light fittings were all designed and made under the supervision of Ricardo by the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft. It would have been inappropriate for Ricardo to use any other firm for this commission as Debenham's father-in-law was Birmingham MP William Kenrick (1831-1919), chief shareholder and director of the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft, and his brother-in-law was the Guild's managing director, Claude Napier-Clavering (1869-1938). These lights are one of the original three pairs designed specifically for the main hall, they feature butterflies circling a single rose before ivy leaves, a theme repeated throughout the building.

Tiffany: The Garden Museum Collection, Woodbridge, Suffolk, 2004, p.643Note: This elegant figure in an elaborately draped dress belongs to a series of dancers conceived by Agathon Léonard, the Jeu de l'Écharpe, which was first exhibited at the Société Nationale des Beaux Art in 1897 as a project for a theatre foyer. The dancers in elegant poses are characterised by their delicate gestures, loose dresses and wide sleeves. They rapidly became Léonard's most popular works and were produced in gilt bronze by the Susse foundry. The present bronze is a large-size Susse Frères cast of the 'Danseuse à L’Écharpe, Genou Levé', model no.12, created between 1897 and 1899, the Susse edition produced from 1901. The carefully chased surface of the bronze produces a shimmer effect of light on the gilded surface.

He translated several major works of English political economy into French, including Des principes de l'économie politique et de l'impôt (1817), by David Ricardo, Oeuvres complètes de David Ricardo (1817, plus notes by Jean-Baptiste Say), Principes d'économie politique (1820), by Thomas Malthus, and Recherches sur la population, et sur la faculté d'accroissement de l'espèce humaine (1821), by Mary Shelley’s father, William Godwin.
