Nicolás de Correa (c.1660 - c.1720) "Joseph’s dream, visited by the angel, under the oak of Mamre” “Enconchado”. Oil on wood panel inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Signed. 39 x 30,5 cm. A nephew of the painter Juan Correa, Nicolás specialised in painting and shell inlay. Nicolás de Correa and the González bros. workshop, were the greatest exponents of the genre. The Hispanic Society of America has The Wedding at Cana (Mexico, 1693), by Nicolás Correa in its collection, executed with the shell inlay technique. His work can also be found in other museums. This form of art was exclusive to Mexico, and combines fragments of mother of pearl with oil painting, thus creating magnificent nuances and play with light. The shell inlay technique originated in the Far East and was quickly adopted in the Viceroyalty of New Spain, due to the presence of artisans and objects from China and Japan, maturing artistically in the New-Hispanic environment over the last decades of the 17th century and the first of the 18th. As with the feathered paintings, Mexican lacquers, maize cane sculptures or screens, shell inlay pictures became prized objets d’art, collected by widespread public and clients, both in New Spain and in the Iberian Peninsula.

German violin, with two piece back varnished in an aged orange finish. With hard case.Purchased by the Vendor in 1963 from E.R.Voigt & Son Ltd.Length of back measures 36cm.Condition report: The violin is in good condition and I cannot see any signs of repairs or damage. There are no cracks. The only fault I can see is that there has been something that has come into contact with the varnish and reacted with it leaving a matt pattern. This is only noticeable when light is shone across the surface. Three images have been uploaded which illustrate the worst areas.

Fender Japan 50th Anniversary Telecaster custom, finished in black with pearloid binding and gold plated hardware, serial number U025657, together with Westfield hardcase.Scale length 65.5cm Condition report: The guitar is generally in good order. It has a straight neck with good action. There is slight wear to the gilt and the odd mark to the finish but nothing defacing. The worst fault is a small crack to the reverse of the body (photographed online) which runs through the binding. This appears to line up with where the boards that make up the body have been joined. The joining lines of the boards that make the body up are slightly visible due to lacquer shrinkage and age when light is cast across the surface of the instrument.
