A RARE PAIR OF CARVED WOOD 'BAKU' ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTSJapan, Edo period (1615-1868)The architectural supports, sometimes also called corbels, are finely carved as the heads of two baku with their mouths wide open to reveal tongue and teeth. Both with prominent tusks and ears, showing a fierce expression marked by slanted eyes with thick brows.LENGTH 26.5 cmCondition: Good condition with minor wear, natural age cracks, expected splits, and a few holes from insect activity. Minor chips, a small loss to one baku's tusk, and remnants of pigment to the interior of the mouth.Provenance: From a private collection in Nice, France.Baku are Japanese supernatural beings that are said to devour nightmares. According to legend, they were made from the spare pieces that were left after the gods had finished creating all other animals. Baku heads are commonly placed under the eaves of Japanese Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines to ward off bad spirits. They are protectors against evil, devour nightmares, but cannot be summoned without caution, because - as legend tells - when baku is not satisfied after consuming the nightmares, he may devour one's hopes and dreams too. The open-mouthed baku scares off demons and the closed-mouthed shelters and keeps in good spirits.Auction comparison:Compare a closely related pair of Baku architectural elements, dated to the Kamakura period, at Zacke, Asian Art Discoveries, 27 January 2022, Vienna, lot 356 (sold for EUR 4,298).

Banksy (British, b.1973)  Petrol bomb - 2011 Lithograph printed in colors on thin woven paper Limited edition of 2000 copies Framed 50 x 40cm (19.7" × 15.3") Banksy (British, b.1973) - the anonymous graffiti artist known as Banksy is perhaps the most controversial street artist of today. He is famous for his stenciled graffiti works, which appear in public spaces around the world. His use of stenciling developed from a need to complete a work quickly, namely to avoid being caught vandalizing by police. Banksy often uses multi-layered stencils to employ multiple colors, and he frequently incorporates permanent environmental fixtures, such as street signs and architectural elements, into his work. Marked by dark humor, satire, and political commentary, much of his street art has become viral on the Internet. His most notable early work was the result of a trip to Palestine and the West Bank, where he stenciled nine images on the Bethlehem Wall. Despite his stealth presence, Banksy has become a mainstream phenomenon. In 2010 Banksy directed Exit Through the Gift Shop, a chronicle of the underground world of street art, which was nominated for Best Documentary at the Oscars. In 2015, he opened Dismaland Bemusement Park, a temporary exhibition of an inverted, dystopian Disneyland. Although Banksy has continuously emphasized an aversion to the art world through his output, he also produces traditional works on canvas and prints as well as branded merchandise such as t-shirts. His cultural significance, widespread popularity, and, certainly, the mystery of his identity have all contributed to the desirability of his art. According to Sotheby’s Mei Moses, the average compound annual return for Banksy is 8.5%, with 76.5% of works increasing in value. This lot is also sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.

Peter Thursby (British, 1930 - 2011) From the series Winged Creatures or Box Spout, c. 1964 Aluminium Signed PT to back 55 x 40 x 22cm (21.5" x 16" x 8.5") The sculptor produced his first work in the wake of the Second World War, a time when new and brutal abstract art came into being, challenging the semi-abstract and the figurative. His early sculptures were hard and aggressive, with form sacrificed to surface qualities. In time a more human modernism took over. His work ranged in scale from the architectural and monumental to small pieces for domestic interiors. He worked with a range of materials, from cast concrete, stone and slate to bronze, stainless steel, aluminium and silver. His Winged Creatures series, and in the following creations, started a new exploration in his career as a sculptor where he regained an attention to form and organic qualities.

A mid Victorian specimen marble, hardstone, mineral and blue John inlaid Ashford marble centre tableThe octagonal top inlaid with a central pietra dura parrot on a fruiting and foliate branch, within a rope twist border comprised of a mosaic or simulated patchwork of assorted marbles, hardstones and minerals, on a ring turned baluster column terminating in a concave tripartite base with bun feet, approximate diameter of the top: 71cm; 71.5cm high.Footnotes:The marble typically referred to as Ashford marble is in fact a form of limestone which comes from two quarries in Derbyshire, near Ashford-in-the-Water. When polished up, its surface builds up to a deep lustrous and glossy black and this can be clearly seen on the above table.Records indicate that Ashford marble was probably first used in the 16th century and the earliest instance of this was during the 1590s, where it was used in the production of chimney pieces for Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire. Thereafter, it appears to have been manipulated for both architectural and decorative purposes. The operations at Ashford and Derby are referred to in 'Glover's History and Gazetteer of Derbyshire' of 1829, where it is mentioned that the stone: 'is wrought into articles of domestic elegance and into monuments, chimney pieces are sold at various prices, from 30s to upwards of £60, and beautiful tables of black marble, enriched with elegant engravings, are also made there'. A further notable element is that during this period it seems that much of the marble output of these quarries was subsequently either etched or engraved.From the 1830s onwards this material became highly fashionable among the wealthy and aristocratic in Britain. Included among the patrons for Ashford marble was William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire (d.1858), who was a major collector and connoisseur of mineral specimens, particularly indigenous ones. Cavendish commissioned craftsmen who were based close to his home at Chatsworth to execute, among other things, enormous doorways for a new wing there.W. Adam, then working at (and later to manage) John Mawe's establishment at Matlock, claimed to have revolutionised the inlaying of black marble; he published his Gem of the Peak in 1838 (1st ed.), which described Florentine mosaic or pietra dura in intricate floral and geometric patterns, and he supplied a 'magnificent table... inlaid with a wreath of flowers and foliage' to Windsor Castle on behalf of Queen Victoria in 1842.The new processes, designs and practicalities which were expounded by Adam influenced a great number of local makers and workers in this stone, and this resulted in the latter quickly adopting them in their own practices. Also, as a direct consequence of this fact, new workshops were founded in Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton and Castleton which used other minerals, either likewise mined in the nearby area or otherwise imported. All of these locations rapidly became popular tourist destinations, whilst they experienced a concomitant increase in requests for souvenirs such as clock cases, candlesticks, ink stands and vases, as well as for smaller pieces of furniture.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Amongst them was a table made by John Tomlinson which was inlaid with: 'a wreath of flowers and leaves in their natural colours... entirely formed of the spars of Derbyshire'. This item features in the Art Journal Illustrated Catalogue of the Great Exhibition, 1851, p. 111 but also appears in J. Meyer, Great Exhibitions, London - New York - Paris - Philadelphia, 1851-1900, 2006, p. 46.Another person operating in the same oeuvre was Samuel Birley. He won three medals at the 1862 London International Exhibition, including for a table now in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum (157-1864).

Thomas Moundeford (1550-1630), physician; president of the College of Physicians. "Moundeford published in 1622 a small book entitled Vir bonus, dedicated to James I, to John, bishop of Lincoln, and to four judges, Sir James Lee, Sir Julius Caesar, Sir Henry Hobart, and Sir Laurence Tanfield. This large legal acquaintance was due to the fact that one of his daughters, Bridget, had, in 1606, married Sir John Bramston (1577-1654), who became, in 1635, chief justice of the king's bench. He praises the king, denounces smoking, alludes to the Basilicon doron, and shows that he was well read in Cicero, Tertullian, the Greek Testament, and the Latin Bible, and expresses admiration of Beza." - Oxford DNB.(2). Frances Hutcheson (1694-1746), moral philosopher; Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Glasgow and an important influence on several Enlightenment thinkers including David Hume and Adam Smith. Author of "A System of Moral Philosophy, published by subscription in 1755, and his Inquiries, Essay, and Illustrations, were widely used in Scottish and American universities in the eighteenth century. The interpretation and relevance of his moral philosophy remains a subject of active scholarly interest and controversy." - Oxford DNB.

G. N. Batting;Sotheby's London, 14 February 1968, lot 33;Where bought by Agnew's (1968);Major Peter HarrisDimensions:(Panel) 10 1/2 in. (H) x 12 1/2 in. (W)(Panel) 26.7 cm (H) x 31.8 cm (W) The scene is depicted as taking place in the Piazza dei Signori in Verona, of which Giolfino was a life-long inhabitant. On the left is the Loggia del Consiglio; on the right the Palazzo del Capitano, and at the far end of the Piazza is the Palazzo del Governo. A glimpse of the Scaglier tombs can be seen in the right-hand background.In the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona there are two long panels by Giolfino (measuring 12 x 36 inches each) representing respectively the 'Trial' and the 'Martyrdom of St. Agatha'. Each of these panels is divided into three scenes, and the left-hand scene of 'The Trial' shows a view of the Piazza dei Signori in Verona, which is almost identical to that of our picture. Slight architectural differences between the two would suggest that our picture is the earlier one. The most significant of these is a late fifteenth-century window on the second floor of the Palazzo del Governo, which is not to be found in our picture. The Verona panel is discussed in Madonna Verona V, 1911, p. 240, by A. Avena, 'La Piazza dei Signora e un dipinto di Niccolo Giolfino'.The incident depicted is a celebrated one in the history of Rome. When Porsenna, king of the Etruscan town of Clusium, was laying siege to Rome, Mucius, a Roman patrician, decided to resolve the situation by assassinating Porsenna. The attempt failed and Mucius was seized and brought before the King. In reply to threats of torture, the Roman thrust his hand into a fire, and held it there without flinching. Porsenna, who was amazed at his fortitude let him go free, deciding thereupon to make peace with the Romans. Mucius received the name of Scaevola, or left-handed, from the loss of his right hand.  Property of a Family

Jenrette in 1972. Jenrette decided that he wanted a distinctly British look for the interiors, so he called New York designers Harrison Cultra (1941-1983) and Georgina Fairholme (1927-2019) for a “quick fix on this grand English-style Georgian house.” (p.37.) With 25 mainly black & white photographs of the interior of the property loosely inserted, Cultra-Fairholme inkstamps verso, together with 2 Autograph Letters Signed from John Fowler to Georgina Fairholme 1974, "...My Dear Georgina.

Interior designer John Beresford Fowler CBE (1906–1977) joined the decorating and antiques firm Thornton Smith, where he painted Chinese-style wallpaper (sold as 18th century originals), and learned other paint decoration techniques, such as marbling and graining, and subsequently decorated furniture for Peter Jones. He established his own business on the Kings Road in Chelsea in 1934, and then went into business with Sybil Colefax, founding Colefax & Fowler. Nancy Lancaster employed him to help with the decoration of her own rooms but became fascinated with decoration herself. At the end of World War II she bought the firm that became Colefax and Fowler from the retiring Colefax. He leased the Hunting Lodge at Odiham in Hampshire from the National Trust in 1947, and his simple but elegant decorative scheme made a great impact. Fowler was involved in the redecoration of dozens of substantial country houses and town houses, including Radbourne Hall, Daylesford House, Tyninghame House and Grimsthorpe Castle. He also worked on decorative schemes for Buckingham Palace, Holyroodhouse, Chequers, Chevening, Christ Church, Oxford, and the Bank of England. In the 1960s and '70s Fowler was still engaged in major commercial projects but increasingly preferred to work with the National Trust. By the time of his death in 1977, at the age of 71, John Fowler was recognized as the éminence grise of English decoration.Georgine Fairholme was born in London, 18 August 1927, and attended St Martin’s School of Art in London. She subsequently worked at interior designer Joy King’s Elizabeth Eaton shop in Belgravia before joining the esteemed London firm Colefax & Fowler in 1964, where she became a protégé of decorator John Fowler, founder of the firm. She re-located to New York to work in the firm’s Manhattan office and later joined Rose Cumming, in whose studio she presumably met the designer Harrison Cultra (1941-1983.) Together they formed the Cultra-Fairholme partnership, clients included Richard H. Jenrette and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis amongst others. Following the dissolution of the partnership, in 1978 she opened her own firm in New York City in a fiercely competitive sector but ran a book with many famous and notable clients including Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon as well as Mr. and Mrs. John Hay “Jock” Whitney. In 1986, Architectural Digest called Fairholme the “doyenne of English Country Style.” In addition to designing interiors, she designed furniture, china, fabrics and wall coverings. On retirement she moved to Italy thence for the last 17 years of her life to Lavenham, Suffolk. She died in Bury St Edmunds 27 August 2019 – soon after her 92nd birthday. Provenance by descent

Onassis printed stationery card/envelope sets by Tiffany & Co New York, and two other envelopes. Jacqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis (née Bouvier, 1929–1994) was an American socialite, writer, photographer, and book editor who served as the first lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963, as the wife of President John F. Kennedy. A popular first lady, she endeared the American public with her devotion to her family, dedication to the historic preservation of the White House, the campaigns she led to preserve and restore historic landmarks and architecture along with her interest in American history, culture and arts. During her lifetime, she was regarded as an international icon for her unique fashion choices, and her work as a cultural ambassador of the United States made her very popular globally. After the assassination and funeral of her husband in 1963, Kennedy and her children largely withdrew from public view. In 1968, she married Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, which caused controversy. Following Onassis's death in 1975, she had a career as a book editor in New York City, first at Viking Press and then at Doubleday, and worked to restore her public image. Even after her death, she ranks as one of the most popular and recognizable first ladies in American history, and in 1999, she was listed as one of Gallup's Most-Admired Men and Women of the 20th century. She died in 1994 and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery alongside John F. Kennedy and the two children who had predeceased them. Georgine Fairholme was born in London, 18 August 1927, and attended St Martin’s School of Art in London.

Framed. Graphite. 600mm x 420mm ARTIST STATEMENT: My aim for this graphite piece was to capture the atmospherical absence of human presence. I wanted to focus on how a scene can seem so lifeless and bleak despite the historical energy that it would have undoubtedly previously captured within the same architectural walls. Nature physically engorges these memories and the nostalgia that this greenhouse once contained. The result is a cold, almost eerie scene as the landscape waits for life to enlighten it once again.
