AN ART NOUVEAU GOLD BROOCH, BY RENE BOIVIN, CIRCA 1900Designed as an openwork circlet of engraved flowers and leaves, in 18K gold, with maker's mark, numbered, length 2.8cmIt is ironic that René Boivin is a name well known in the jewellery world, as his life is relatively unknown. It is also interesting to note that it was not always René Boivin that crafted the pieces that bear his name. Boivin was born in Paris in 1864, he began his career in jewellery at a young age and, by the time he died in 1917, had become an excellent designer and engraver, leaving behind him a wonderful legacy. During the 1890s, he purchased several workshops, establishing himself at rue St. Anastase, then relocating in 1893 to rue deTurbigo. He married Jeanne Poiret, the first woman jeweller of the 20th century (sister of the famous couturier) and together they created some of the most exciting and bold fashions of the early 1900s. In the early 20th century Japanese art and antiques were very much en vogue and, as Boivin had a passion for antiques, it is no surprise that this trend influenced his own jewellery designs. His skill as a goldsmith can be appreciated from beautifully finished pieces and his interest in animals and nature inferred through jewellery themes.After René’s death, Jeanne assumed control of the business and moved to avenue de I’Opera with Juliette Moutard and her daughter Germaine Boivin. They worked together for forty years, joined by Suzanne Belperron between 1921 and 1932. After Jeanne’s death in 1959 the house was taken over by Louis Girard and in April 1991 the company became part of Aspery Group, with the main office and store located on avenue Montaigne.Art Noveau is an international style of art, architectures and applied art, especially the decorative arts, that was most popular between 1890 and 1910. The gold brooch shows typical art nouveau style, with the piece inspired by natural forms and structures, particularly the curved lines of plants and flowers.

Sunbeam Alpine Registration number: 810 ASV First Registered: TBC Mileage: TBC Engine Size: 1592cc Colour: Blue Engine Number: TBC Chassis Number: TBC V5C present The Sunbeam Alpine is a sporty two-seat open car launched in 1953, it was the first vehicle from Sunbeam-Talbot Limited to bear the Sunbeam name since the 1935 takeover of Sunbeam and Talbot by the Rootes Group. Ken Howes and Jeff Crompton were tasked with doing a complete redesign of the Alpine in 1956 to produce a dedicated sports car aimed principally at the US market. A complete redesign of the model was begun in 1956 with the goal of producing a dedicated sports car. The Alpine was produced in four subsequent revisions through to 1968. Total production numbered around 70,000 with production stopped shortly after the Chrysler takeover of the Rootes Group. Production stopped shortly after the Chrysler takeover of the Rootes Group. The Series II of 1960 featured an enlarged 1,592 engine producing 80 bhp and revised rear suspension. A Series II with hardtop and overdrive was tested by The Motor magazine in 1960, they recorded a top speed of 98.6 mph, acceleration from 0-60 mph in 13.6 seconds and a fuel consumption of 31.0 miles per imperial gallon. This 1962 example has come to us with a large history file containing many old receipts for work over the years plus previous MOT certificates. Originally resisted as 6666WX the car now sports an age related registration number. Mechanically it appears to be in good shape, runs well and gears select as they should. On inspection the car is in good sound order, absent of any visible corrosion. Paintwork is dull and would benefit from some improving as does the brightwork. The Sunbeam benefits from newly trimmed seats and all in all appears to be complete. Very much a usable classic with room for improvement and detailing. Buyer's premium of 10% (+VAT) applies to this lot. Repainted, paint flat with over spray. Colour change from red to blue. Interior tired, new seats. Running restoration. Starts and drives.
