FUJIWARA KATSUNORI: A SUPERB IRON TSUBA DEPICTING SCENES FROM NOH THEATRE By Fujiwara Katsunori, signed Fujiwara Katsunori sakuJapan, Tokyo, Meiji period (1868-1912)The iron tsuba in the shape of a Buddhist temple bell crowned with kirin heads, finely worked in iro-e takazogan of gold, silver, copper, shibuichi, and shakudo, depicting a pair of Noh actors from the play Takasago in conversation, the old couple with fans in hand and dressed in mizugoromo decorated with foliate motifs. The reverse alluding to another Noh play, Kiyohime, depicting a Hannaya mask and striker. Signed FUJIWARA KATSUNORI saku [made by Fujiwara Katsunori].HEIGHT 9.5 cm, LENGTH 7.5 cmWEIGHT 124.6 gCondition: Very good condition with minor wear, some light malachite encrustations. This tsuba cleverly juxtaposes the eternal love and devotion imagined in Takasago to the pain of rejection and jealousy in Kiyohime. The two sides of the gong, where Anchin also faces his untimely death, present the range of emotions experienced in love to the viewer. On the one hand, the old couple in Takasago personify divine devotion to each other and on the other hand, Kiyohime alludes to the dangers of jealousy, infatuation, and revenge as if to warn one of the perils of love.The artist is listed in the Haynes Index of Japanese Sword Fittings and Associated Artists on pp. 594 (H 02858.0).Auction comparison:Compare a closely related iron tsuba with similar inlays, by the same artist, signed Fujiwara Katsunori koku, at Christie's, Japanese and Korean Art Online, 27 September 2022, New York, lot 9 (sold for EUR 3,276).

Two George III Royal silver sauceboatsfull marks only clear on one, Thomas Heming, London 1766 Each of bombé oval form, spirally fluted body capped with a wave design below a reverse fluted and everted rim, cast flying scroll handle with applied acanthus foliage and bell flower with scroll top, on cast spiral fluted and scroll shaped-oval pedestal foot, engraved below the lip with Royal Household garter badges, each of a varying form, one flanked by the engraved cypher GR, also engraved below with a later owners crest, with motto 'LIBERTAS' above, underside of one with engraved scratch weight '20'9', length 19cm, weight 37.9oz.Footnotes:The two badges surmounted with Imperial crowns relate to ownership by the household of King George III (1760 - 1820), of Great Britain and Ireland.It is interesting to note that the service was originally engraved with Royal Arms and King's ciphers and that most pieces were subsequently re-engraved with the new Royal Arms as used after 1801.It is recorded that the cost of the original engraving of the Royal Arms and King's ciphers was charged at an extra £232 19s 6d (PRO Lc5/ 110, f. 356).Thomas Heming was appointed Principal Goldsmith to the King in 1760 and was the first working goldsmith to hold this post since the early seventeenth century.These sauceboats are in a style that was a modified version of the French rococo, still fashionable in the early years of George III's reign and influenced by the designs of Parisian Goldsmith Pierre Germain's 'Eléments d'orfèvrerie devisés' published in Paris in 1748.They are almost identical to a set of sixteen silver-gilt examples in the Royal Collection, also by Thomas Heming, exhibited, The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, London.The sauceboats held in the Royal Collection form part of the 'Coronation Service'. Despite this title, the commission for the service was not finished in time for use at the King and Queen's coronation banquet on 22 September 1761. The service was used at the 'extremely magnificent banquet' held on 19 September 1768 at the Queen's House in honour of Christian VII of Denmark, who was George III's first cousin in addition to being his brother-in-law, following his marriage to Princess Caroline in 1766.Modest additions were made to the service throughout the 1760s.The second later crest cannot be identified. Notably the motto LIBERTAS is used widely in the United States in the early years of the nineteenth century, possibly to indicate the freedom gained in the earlier War of Independence.LiteratureVanessa Brett, The Sotheby's Directory of Silver, 1600-1940, London, 1986, p. 223, no. 989.Published to coincide with The Queen's Gallery exhibition, George III & Queen Charlotte: Patronage, Collecting and Court Taste, The Queen's Gallery, 2004, no. 339, pages 322, illustrated 324.The Royal Collection Trust, accessed via https://www.rct.uk/collection/51843/sauce-boatThis lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Attributed to Claude Galle (French, 1759-1815): A good early 19th century French gilt bronze and rouge griotte marble figural mantel clockThe figural mount perhaps in the manner of Louis-Simon Boizot (French, 1743-1809)The arched rectangular case on a stepped rectangular pedestal, with applied winged flambé torch and fruiting laurel and oak leaf wreath mounts, and with foliate and stiff leaf cast borders, the front with an applied figural mount formed as a classical maiden, holding aloft drapery to partially conceal the dial, the whole raised on conforming rectangular plinth base and moulded foot, the rotating dial with Roman enamelled chapter ring with milled centre and poker hands, the brass twin train movement with silk suspension and outside count wheel striking on a bell, with pendulum, 53.5cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceNorman Mackinnon (1923-1989), former MD of Drambuie, Scotland and self-proclaimed 'Whisky Baron' and a collector of fine art, furniture and objects, cars, and properties. The clock stood on the mantlepiece in the grand dining room of his Edinburgh home and at the end of a dinner party when it chimed midnight he would announce to his guests that the evening was over. By repute it had been inherited from his mother Gina Mackinnon who was famous for safeguarding the Drambuie recipe. Thence by decent to the present owner.The offered lot is thought to be one of three known examples of this model attributed to Claude Galle, one of the other two being a near identical clock, excepting the case, which is in green marble, which is in the permanent collection of clocks at Belmont House, Kent. Known as the 'Amitea clock', the name is perhaps derived from 'Laudatio Luliae Amitae' which was a funeral oration that Julius Caesar gave in 68 BC to honour his dead aunt Julia, the widow of Marius with the figure to the front of the clock perhaps representing a mourning praeficae. One of the leading French bronziers of his day, Claude Galle created numerous gilt bronzes for the Royal and subsequently Imperial household. Born at Villepreux near Versailles, he was apprenticed to the fondeur, Pierre Foy at rue du Four. In 1784 he married Foy's daughter and after his masters death, took over the workshop and built it into one of the finest of its kind, eventually employing about 400 craftsmen. In 1786 he became a maitre-fondeur and in the same year received the first of many commissions from the Garde-Meuble to furnish the royal palaces. Galle moved the business to Quai de la Monnaie and from 1805 traded from 60 Rue Vivienne.Louis-Simon Boizot worked in the atelier of the sculptor René-Michel Slodtz (1705–1764) who also trained Houdon. In 1778 he was admitted to the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture and exhibited at the yearly salons until 1800. His portrait busts of Louis XVI and Joseph II were created in 1777 and made in bisque porcelain at Sèvres. From 1773 to 1800 Boizot directed the sculpture workshop of the Sèvres porcelain Manufactory, producing the series of unglazed biscuit figures with a matte finish resembling that of marble. Boizot also created terracotta designs for gilt-bronze clock cases including the allegorical 'Avignon' clock, now in the Wallace Collection in London, which was cast and chased by Pierre Gouthière in 1777.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.
