Samuel Prout OWS (1783-1852) "St Symphorien, Tours" Signed, extensively inscribed and dated 1839, watercolour, 24cm by 19.5cm Provenance: Thomas Agnew & Sons, Limited The picture plane is good and even. There a few very tiny disturbances at the edges (see images). The shiny, bodied paint delineating the architectural features and the hat of the figure in yellow has cracked and retracted slightly in thicker places, visible as white line. This looks to be flaking slightly? There are two blotchy water marks bottom let edge, and a white fleck of apparently unpainted paper in the middle window of the left hand building. The blues/reds are fairly vivid, but there has possibly been some fading to other colours. Possibly some light timestaining and one tiny black mark to the bottom right of the sky.

AN 18K GOLD NECKLACE, BRACELET, BROOCH AND EARCLIPS EN SUITE, BY CHAUMET, CIRCA 1970 Each composed of openwork square and round links of abstract design, with polished and matt finish, earclips of square-design, each in 18K gold, each signed Chaumet, with maker’s mark 'JC' for Joseph Chaumet, French assay marks, with maker's pouch, necklace length 66.5cm, bracelet length 18.3cm, brooch length 8.7cm, width 6.2cmm, ear clips length 3.2cm (brooch can be worn as the pendant of the necklace) Established in 1780 by Marie-Étienne Nitot, Chaumet evolved into Europe's premier jeweller under his skilful craftsmanship. Successive generations, including François-Regnault Nitot and Joseph Chaumet, furthered the legacy, pioneering opulent designs and expanding clientele to include royalty. Embracing Art Deco and the Roaring Twenties, Chaumet's creations evolved with fashion while maintaining a blend of tradition and modernism, captivating a global audience. Continuing the legacy of excellence, Chaumet's esteemed designers and jewellers, including the likes of Pierre Sterlé and René Morin, upheld the Maison's iconic style while infusing it with a contemporary twist. The 1970s epitomised a time of experimentation and liberation. Across music, politics, fashion, ideals, and space exploration, every realm offered avenues for fresh encounters. Embracing change and exploring uncharted territories required the emergence of new identities, artisans, and visionary thinkers pioneering innovation. These trailblazers significantly influenced the trajectory of jewellery history, they contributed to pivotal moments through advancements in technique, the introduction of novel aesthetics, and the embrace of liberated concepts. In a bold move that reshaped the landscape of jewellery, Chaumet introduced the Arcade, a revolutionary store concept, in 1970, redefining the very essence of luxury shopping. Amidst whispers in the press, Chaumet entertained the idea of crafting a novel sales unit devoted to jewellery and contemporary living. The Chaumet brothers entrusted Agence Bernard Cognard with the task of envisioning this modern realm. The interior designer faced the challenge of giving the Arcade its own architectural identity separates from the historic boutique. They strategically placed a central showcase pillar in one of the twin arcades, creating an open space reminiscent of an art gallery. Black and Orly blond anodized aluminium materials contrasted with Place Vendôme's traditional aesthetics, while frameless windows added an ethereal touch. Inside, the Arcade was designed as a sanctuary for a modern lifestyle, with elements like beige sofas and Chinese lacquer accents blending in hues of rye, amber, and black. Inspired by decades design, the space was engineered for adaptability, with ceiling-mounted rails and wheeled display units. The Arcade symbolized a global transformation during a crucial period in the Maison’s history and the realm of French jewellery craftsmanship. Its design reflected innovative approaches to presenting, selling, and purchasing jewellery, aligning seamlessly with the evolving lifestyle of the 1970s. Despite the coordination of traditional boutiques alongside the Arcade, both units featured their collections in unified sales catalogues. What may appear counterintuitive by contemporary standards was viewed differently in that era. The Arcade spearheaded future advancements for Chaumet and other leading jewellery houses, showcasing iconic collections like Liens and Labyrinthe. At the core of this progressive approach lay experimentation, artisans were granted full creative autonomy, both within the design studio and workshop. This freedom extended to the extent that they appropriated the use of gold nuggets, dubbing their finishing technique the Arcade polish. Gold underwent various treatments, including hammering, polishing, texturing, brushing, and assuming organic forms, moulding itself to the wearer's skin. These creations, blurring the boundaries between traditional jewellery and art, challenged conventions through their innovative designs. The advertising for the Arcade embodied dynamic design, strategically crafted to ward off monotony. This evolution extended beyond mere sales catalogues, encompassing architectural concepts, graphic branding, and the structural organization of boutiques into separate sections such as Chaumet High Jewellery, the Chaumet Arcade, and the enduring Chaumet watches. The “Labyrinthe” collection, made of transformable necklace, bracelet, pendant and brooch. It was made between 1970 and 1980 and sold at l’Arcade.
A RARE BLASHFIELD TERRACOTTA STATUE OF CERES DATED 1871 On an associated Blashfield pedestal stand, figure with hand inscribed signature J M Blashfield, Stamford, 1871, base stamped Published by J M Blashfield Stamford 1869 Figure 166cm high, approximately 252.5cm high overall, base 50cm wide, 49.5cm deep In 1857 Blashfield published "A catalogue of five hundred articles, made of patent Terra cotta". By 1860 and with the growing success of his business his catalogue ran to 700 items "made in patent terra cotta, and red and cane-coloured pottery." As well as the more domestic wide range of garden ornaments such as urns, pedestals, architectural fittings and fountains, many of these catalogue items were copies of classical pieces- working in the tradition of Coade. This figure seems to be unrecorded in the Blashfield publications suggesting it may be a one off commission- a suggestion strengthened with the presence of a hand scratched signature and date- rather than the more familiar stamped mark as found on the pedestal. Condition Report: The figure: Restorations to base, the hands & arms, neck, head and face, and areas of raised detailing. Some later washes of colour some of which are starting to lift such as to neck, right wrist etc. The surface with pocking- presumably from prior weathering, Base edge chips and loses Base: with weathering edge and corner losses and wear Please see additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.
