Havell, Thomas Holbein Hendley, Sir George Birdwood and John Lockwood Kipling were among the contributors, writing on subjects including architecture, metalwork, textiles, jewellery and ceramics.

Lot 244

TWO PAINTINGS OF THE JAGANNATH DEITIES, PURI, ORISSA (NOW ODISHA), EASTERN INDIA, CIRCA 1900 gouache with gesso on cloth (patachitra), of rectangular form, one depicting the trio, Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra, within the Puri temple shrine, surrounded by numerous small panels with scenes depicting further images of the same and other deities and devotees surrounded by a rosette border, the other depicting the three iconic deities flanked by other Hindu gods paying respects, surrounded by a similar border, each framed 57 x 77cm; 58 x 74cm Jagannath is the 'Lord of the World', a form of Krishna worshipped at the famous shrine at Puri. He and his brother Balabhadra and their sister Subhadra are worshipped as a trio, always depicted with large round eyes and often handless arms. The cult is an example of the characteristic ability of Hinduism to absorb popular local cults into the mainstream. It is likely that the link between Jagannath and Vishnu occurred after the cult was well established, and simple village origins are suggested by the form of the deities. Paintings of this type were produced as mementoes for pilgrims visiting the famous temple in the seaside town, built in the 12th century by Anantavarman Codagangadeva. For similar paintings on cloth in the British Museum, acquired in 1880, see inv. nos. 1894,0613,0.47 & 1880,0.301. See also lot 242.

A VICTORIAN LEATHER 'EGYPTIANESQUE' STATIONERY BOX, ALEXANDER JONES & CO., LONDON, LATE 19TH CENTURY of pylon form, the black leather stamped with broad hieroglyph filled borders, the lid stamped 'THEOBALDS MUSEUM', the black watered silk-lined interior with cream dividers, with stamp by hinge 'Alex. Jones & Co. 154 Regent St' 27cm wide The Theobalds Museum was a large collection of Egyptian antiquities, amassed by the colourful Valerie Lady Meux (1847-1910). The British Musuem's Egyptologist, Walter Budge, catalogued over 1700 artefacts in the collection. The museum turned down her bequest of the collection however, so it was sold following her death. Apparently Valerie Susan Langdon (otherwise Val Reece) met the brewery millionaire Sir Henry Meux at the Casino de Venise in Holborn, where she entertained the clientele with her banjo playing and singing (more scurrilous gossips inferring that she was also entertained gentlemen privately). Marrying in secret in 1878, the couple enlarged their 18th century mansion, Theobalds, near Waltham Cross, including such improvements as a swimming pool and indoor skating rink. Although shunned by much of society, the Prince of Wales (Edward VIII) and Winston Churchill visited; entertained in the banqueting room of Christopher Wren's Temple Bar, which had been transported from London and re-erected as the estate's gatehouse. Twice painted by Whistler, a third unfinished portrait was supposedly destroyed by the artist following a falling-out with Lady Meux.

A GERMAN SILVER-GILT DISH, MASTER OF THE 'B & ANCHOR' MARK, PROBABLY HANAU, THIRD QUARTER 19TH CENTURY in Renaissance style, oval, relief chased in fine detail with the 'Judgement of Paris', the rim also richly chased with fruits and foliage interrupted by four heads, pseudo marks of a B and anchor conjoined, an animal's head facing, a fruit and an eagle displayed 26cm, 272gr (8oz) A number of fine 'Historismus' style pieces bearing this mark have been recorded, but sadly the maker remains unidentified. He was clearly working to fulfill an expanding market for old silver. W.H Singer in The Art Journal of 1880, pp. 313/314, records 'it is curious that at the present time Germany is the country where are produced nearly all the forgeries of old silver work, such as ewers and hanaps (Old French for a cup) with which the London shops and salerooms are filled...'. See the exhibition catalogue 'Macht & Pracht, Europas Glanz im 19. Jahrhundert', 2006, p.264, dedicated to German 19th century decorative arts in earlier styles, where a table centrepiece by the B and anchor maker and stamped with an 'N' mark is ascribed to the firm of Neresheimer of Hanau. This may well be an incorrect attribution, since the B and anchor maker would appear to have been working considerably earlier in the 19th century than Neresheimer. For a magnificent parcel-gilt and enamelled cup and cover with the same marks as this dish, see Sotheby's, London, 1 November 2017, lot 842.
