HAMILTON & CO: GOLD, LAPIS LAZULI AND TURQUOISE BROOCH AND PENDENT EARRING SUITE, 1832Each naturalistic tricoloured gold drop with engraved leaves and buds and a central pansy with carved lapis lazuli petals, accented by turquoise cabochon forget-me-not flowers, the brooch of matching design, one lapis lazuli petal deficient, lengths: earrings 8.7cm, brooch 6.0cm, fitted maker's caseFootnotes:Accompanied by a portrait miniature on ivory of the original owner, identified as Alice Edye, and the original receipt from Hamilton & Co., dated 24th January 1832.Please note, it is not possible to export ivory to the United States.A play on the French word, 'pensée', meaning 'think of me', pansies became a popular floral motif representing love and remembrance in jewellery, together with forget-me-nots, rendered here in turquoise. The vogue for naturalistic tricoloured gold jewels with realistic surface features arose in the 1830s and the scale of such pieces increased dramatically in the 1850s (see C. Gere and J. Rudoe, 2010, 'Jewellery in the Age of Queen Victoria', The British Museum Press, London, p.172, figs 128-129). These features were achieved with a variety of lifelike chasing, engraving and matting techniques and the use of several coloured gold alloys in a complex structure of soldered appliqué.Robert Hamilton (1772-1848) arrived in India and started work in Calcutta in 1808, establishing premises producing jewellery and silver at 5 Tank Square under licence from the East Indian Company. Three years later, he opened a shop on Old Court House Street where the business remained until its closure in 1973. In 1817, Robert Hamilton ceased his interest in the company but the business continued under a succession of new partnerships including Henry and James Glazbrook who joined the business in 1811. The business grew steadily and employed some of the best artisans in the country. New branches followed in Bombay (1833-36 and from 1868), Delhi and Shimla (from 1865 onwards). The business continued beyond the Independence of India in 1947, until finally closing its doors in 1973.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
TWO 17TH CENTURY ROYALIST PORTRAIT MINIATURE JEWELSThe first depicting King Charles I, the Martyr (1600-1649), standing before his crown, wearing the sash and badge of the Order of the Garter over a suit of armour, the second depicting William III (1650-1702) holding an orb with Mary II (1662-1694) before a skull, both painted on vellum in pie-crust mounts, the reverse of the mount holding William and Mary engraved with initials, JM, lengths: 1.9cm - 2.3cm (2)Footnotes:After the death of King Charles I in 1649, commemorative jewellery in the form of rings, lockets and slides, was produced in great numbers. The jewels were worn by Royalists in memory of Charles I. A few had concealing lids, as many supporters of the royalist cause wished to keep their allegiance secret. Some were presented by the exiled Queen Henrietta Maria to Royalist supporters in appreciation of their continuing loyalty and financial backing.The tradition for wearing images of Stuart monarchs remained popular during times of political and religious uncertainty, periods of national mourning and also celebration, such as the Restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660 when these jewels could be worn more openly. The miniatures were not painted from life but derived from earlier full-scale oil portraits. The miniature of Charles I in his suit of armour derives from Sir Anthony Van Dyck's circa 1638 portrait in the Hermitage Museum (inventory no. ГÐ-537).Prince William of Orange married Charles I's grand-daughter, Mary Stuart, the Princess Royal, in 1677. The couple were happily married and anointed joint sovereigns in 1689. Devastated by Mary's death, William ruled alone until his own death in 1702 from a riding accident. The skull in this Restoration portrait has been placed behind Mary to represent her early death from smallpox while William can be seen holding an orb in reference to his continuing reign. The image of William in a suit of armour and lace cravat derives from his circa 1685 portrait by Willem Wissing (Royal Collection inventory no. RCIN 405644). While a different colour, the design of Mary's dress, jewelled corsage and ermine cloak relate closely to her circa 1692-94 portrait attributed to Jan van der Vaart, which is held by the National Portrait Gallery (inventory no. NPG 197).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

KPM porcelain plaque of an old womanlate 19th century, after Balthasar Denner. Alte Frau.The reverse bears various labels and the KPM mark.36cm x 29cm. Balthasar Denner's portrait of an old woman also known as The Alte Frau Painting is highly regarded as one his greatest works. Denner was born in the city of Altona, now incorporated into Hamburg. At the time Altona was part of the Danish kingdom, its second largest city after Copenhagen and famous for its religious tolerance. His father Jacob Denner was a Mennonite minister and a dyer. Balthasar had seven sisters; he was the only son. When he was eight years old he had an accident and for the rest of his life he walked with a limp. His convalescence was slow and to cope with boredom Denner started to draw and copy paintings by Berchem and Bloemaert. His teacher was a Dutchman, Frans van Amama. In 1696 the family moved to Danzig, where Denner practiced oil painting between 1698 and 1700. In 1701 the family moved back to the Hanseatic town. Balthasar became a clerk for his uncle, who was a merchant. In 1707 he became a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin. Denner began his career as a painter of miniatures. The original Alte Frau was ans oil on Canvas painted befor 1721
