John Willis Good (British, 1845-1879): A rare patinated bronze equestrian model of a huntsman with his hounds and a foxthe dismounted figure crouching beside his horse, blowing his horn and gesturing with his riding crop, the hounds surrounding a fox, raised on a naturalistic canted base signed and dated J Willis Good 1872, 30.5cm high, 56cm wide, 29cm deep approximatelyFootnotes:John Willis Good is the leading English 'Animalier' sculptor of the 19th century century, whose work is comparable with the French 'Animalier' masters of the period. During his short but prolific career he concentrated on studies of hunting scenes, namely hounds and horses, with or without ridersSadly, at the age of 34, after only ten years exhibiting his work, he shot himself in his studio on the Fulham Road, London. Perhaps for this reason we know very little about him today other than he took a probationary course in the schools of the Royal Academy and later studied under the celebrated Austrian born sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm Boehm (1834-1890). Between 1870 and 1878 he exhibited sixteen pieces at the Royal Academy and on one occasion collaborated on a work with Charles Lutyens, himself a well-known sporting painter who also produced several sculptures.Willis Good's sculptures were justifiably popular during his lifetime and were edited in bronze, sterling silver and silver-plated bronze, often by Elkington & Co. of Birmingham. His last work was a series of studies of hounds, and he became increasingly interested in the patination of his work which he began to carry out himself.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Sir William Hamo Thornycroft, British (1850-1925): A patinated bronze figure of 'The Iron Age'the male figure depicted in labourer's dress in contrapposto stance, a pick held over his left shoulder, raised on square base, signed and dated to the top of one corner Hamo Thornycroft 1907, the opposing corner inscribed and numbered HT 1302(?), the side of the base with title THE IRON AGE, 34.5cm highFootnotes:The figure of 'Iron Age' comes under the umbrella of 'New Sculpture,' of which Thornycroft was a leading light. The idea of 'realism' was a recurring one that preoccupied the sculptor and which is reflected in his work. The New Sculptors tried to find ways to bring the sculptural body to life making it appear life-like without wishing to make it a 'display of flesh.' This tension is apparent in much of Thornycroft's with the figure of the 'Mower,' and the present lot being prime examples . In 1885 Thornycroft gave a lecture at Royal Academy where he commented that the 'considerable and sustained advance of sculpture' was due to, in part, to 'the closer study of nature.'LiteratureD. Getsy, The Problem of Realism in Hamo Thornycroft's 1885 Royal Academy Lecture, The Walpole Society 69 (2007): pp. 211–25.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Cf. Christie's, The Axel Guttmann Collection of Ancient Arms and Armour, part 1, London, 2002, p.22, no.16; Overlaet, B., ‘The chronology of the Iron Age in the Pusht-I Kuh, Luristan’ in Iranica Antiqua, vol.XL, 2005, pl.13, no.14, for the recent find of a similar shield; Ayazi, S., Disc-Headed Bronze Pins from Luristan: A Symbol of Ancient Iran’s Past, Tübingen, 2008; Moshtagh Khorasani, M., ‘Bronze and iron weapons from Luristan’ in Antiguo Oriente: Cuadernos del Centro de Estudios de Historia del Antiguo Oriente, 7, 2009, pp.185-216, for discussion on the production of such weapons; a similar round bronze shield - datable to the 8th century B.C., was part of the famous Axel Guttmann collection. 1.35 kg total, 54.5 cm high including stand (21 1/2 in.).

The rich and noble aristocrats of the Luristan, Elamites, Hurrians, Lullubians, Kutians, and Cassites, went to battle splendidly equipped and used magnificent defensive equipment made from bronze.

Cf. the British Museum, museum number 1756,0101.970, for a very similar style gorgoneion; Antonucci, C., L’esercito di Cesare 54-44 a.C., Concorezzo, 1996; D’Amato, R., Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier, London, 2009; Mattesini, S., Gladiatori, San Egidio alla Vibrata, 2009; D'Amato, R., Negin A., Decorated Roman Armour, London, 2017. 1.4 kg total, 35.5 cm diameter (14 in.). Ex N.K., Paris-Geneva (1910-1996); thence by descent. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D'Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11392-189855. The typology of round Roman shields of embossed bronze, could be related to various categories of warriors. The round parma, that according to Livy (XXI,4-5), was the main shield of the Roman cavalry since the 3rd century B.C., and continued to be the typical shield of the cavalryman in the late Consular Age, as mentioned by Sallustius (Hist., IV,4). This shield, which was about 80 cm in diameter, is depicted on a monument from Via Latina, probably the grave of a Roman cavalry officer (monument now in Hever Castle, England), showing the typical weaponry of a cavalry officer. Many officers used the parma from horseback alternating with the round clypeus. An original specimen from the Castra Caecilia shows a diameter of 42 cm (Antonucci, 1996, p.31 and plate D2). The shields decorated with the head of Medusa, following the Hellenistic and Etruscan models (D’Amato-Negin, 2017, fig.13), are visible on Roman monuments until the 3rd century A.D. Other specimens of embossed Roman shields have been found in gladiatorial context. A splendid embossed example was found in the gladiatorial barracks at Pompeii (Mattesini, S., 2009, p.178). The classes gladiatoriae of the Hoplomachi were part of the fighting categories of the Parmularii, who used a small round shield. A small round shield (Parma Equestris) was used also by the classes of the Equites (cavalrymen), and some of their shields with embossed decoration were well represented on the lost frescoes from the podium of the amphitheatre of Pompeii.

10th century A.D. A double-edged cutting sword of Petersen Type U with a shallow-fullered broad blade and round tip; boat-shaped lower guard and a large pommel, originally divided in three parts and with traces of silver inlay. Cf. Petersen, J., De Norske Vikingsverd, Oslo, 1919; Petersen, J., De Norske Vikingsverd, Saint Petersburg, 2005; Peirce, I., Swords of the Viking Age, Suffolk, 2002, p.110; the main reference example is a sword published by Petersen (p.182, fig.122) from Seim, Ardal; another interesting and important specimen is published by Peirce, the British Museum 1915.5-4.1, found in the river Lea riverbed, near Edmonton, Middlesex. 874 grams, 92 cm (31/4 in.). Acquired 1971-1972. From the collection of the vendor's father. Property of a London, UK, collector. Accompanied by an academic expertise by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11396-192363. Petersen Type U swords were used predominantly during the 10th and 11th centuries. Examples of this sword type have been found across northern Europe and a great number of them are decorated with some form of inlay or overlay using silver, copper and bronze. The gently tapering blade of this sword with tapering fuller seems to correspond to the type 3 individuated by Geibig, and so dated to the 10th century, when taking the dating opinions of Petersen concerning this category into consideration.
15th-9th century B.C. An entire Late Bronze Age founder's hoard comprising: a complete looped palstave axe, with a fragment of another; with five complete or almost so socketted axes, some showing linear ornament to the sockets, with fragments of three others; with a small socketted gouge and together with three pieces of copper 'bun' ingot and a conical waste casting sprue. See Evans, J., The Ancient Bronze Implements, Weapons and Ornaments of Great Britain and Ireland, London, 1881, figures 102, 112, 114, 116 and 205, for very similar examples of these types. 3.4 kg total, 3.5-11.5 cm (1 3/8 - 4 1/2 in.). Found whilst searching with a metal detector near Dunstable, Bedfordshire, UK. Acquired from a Cambridgeshire antiques shop circa 1995. Private collection of a Suffolk, UK, gentleman. [15, No Reserve]
14th-mid 12th century B.C. A substantial bronze palstave axehead from the Manston hoard pit deposit, triangular flanges rise from the butt to the stop bar; a hollow to both faces below the septum; narrow body expanding to a wide triangular blade with slight flare at the tips. See Evans, J., The Ancient Bronze Implements, Weapons and Ornaments of Great Britain and Ireland, London, 1881, pp.76-84 and figs.56-68, for similar types; Rowlands, M.J., The Production and Distribution of Metalwork in the Middle Bronze Age in Southern Britain, Oxford, 1976. The British Museum's Portable Antiquities Scheme, reference PAS KENT-495597, for this find. 505 grams, 17 cm (6 3/4 in.). Found near Manston, Kent, UK, 2016. Accompanied by copies of the British Museum's Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) report number KENT-495597. Accompanied by Treasure Act documentation under Treasure Reference 2016 T618. At Manston was found a hoard of ten copper-alloy palstave axeheads, in one spot, described as 'one hole' and therefore possibly a pit deposit from the Middle-Late Bronze Age. A similar hoard of palstaves was also found in the immediate vicinity by the same finder at a later date, see PAS KENT-593613. These palstaves are comparable to those placed within Rowlands 'class 3 group 1', characterised by a U-shaped septum profile, low triangular or slightly convex flanges, a straight sided triangular or crinoline blade and a triangular depression or ribbed motif beneath the stop bar (Rowlands 1976, pp.32-33). Group 1 and 2 within class 3 are divided based on blade width, being 7-8cm and 5-6cm respectively, placing the above axes between the two, but probably within group 1.
1st century B.C.-1st century A.D. A substantial bronze harness fitting composed of circular body with deliberate asymmetrical central openwork La Tène oval and tear-shapes forming three 'hidden faces' comprising of a human face and two side profile puffin-like faces, red enamelled border, strap arm to each side composed of two circular arms with a round-section bar between. Cf. The Trustees of The British Museum., Later Prehistoric Antiquities Of The British Isles, London, 1953, pl. XI, for comparable forms; cf. Jope, E.M., Early Celtic Art In The British Isles, Oxford, 2000, pl.276, for similar types; and Hammond, A., Benet's Artefacts of England and the United Kingdom, 4th edition, 2021, p.122-124, for several much smaller examples. Hammond, Brett, British Artefacts Volume 4 - The Celtic Iron Age, Greenlight publishing, 2022, (forthcoming) for this example. 51.2 grams, 71 mm (2 3/4 in.). Found whilst searching with a metal detector near Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria, UK, on Tuesday 10th May 2022. Accompanied by a copy of the book British Artefacts Volume 4 - The Celtic Iron Age, when published. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11403-190465. The Brigantes were a tribe, or perhaps more accurately a loose confederation of related tribes, of British Celts inhabiting most of the area between the Humber and the Tyne. The name of the tribe originates from the Celtic goddess Brigantia.
6th century A.D. A matched pair of bronze small-long brooches, each with a rectangular headplate, shallow bow and pelta-shaped foot with punched detailing; mounted on a Hattatt display stand with text: 'Anglo-Saxon / Small Long brooches / Identical pair / 6th cent: A.D. / Square-headed type / Found at Lakenheath, Suffolk'. Hattatt, R., Iron Age and Roman Brooches, Oxford, 1985, item 677 (this pair). 130 grams total, brooches: 62-64 mm (2 3/8 - 2 1/2 in.). Ex Richard Hattatt (d.1992) collection (featured in his book). With Christie's, London, 7 July 1993, lot 72 (part). With Bernard Quaritch, London W1. Ex Martin Schoyen collection. Accompanied by a copy of the Christie's invoice. Accompanied by copies of the relevant Christie's catalogue pages.
7th century A.D. A bronze hollow-formed disc-shaped brooch with a central dot around which are four S-shaped birds with large eyes, curved beaks and bodies formed from interlaced lines; the outer sidewall with line decoration and remains of safety chain fixing hole; remains of a pin hinge and catchplate to the reverse. Cf. MacGregor, A. et al., A Summary Catalogue of the Continental Archaeological Collections (Roman Iron Age, Migration Period, Early Medieval), Oxford, 1997, item 2.2; cf. Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 53.48.6. 17.4 grams, 35 mm (1 3/8 in.). UK gallery, acquired in the 2000s. Property of an English gentleman. This Scandinavian Vendel period brooch precedes the Viking Era both in history and art style, as we can observe the use of box and disc brooches in both eras. There were lively contacts with continental Europe, and the Scandinavians continued to export iron, fur and slaves; in return they acquired art and innovations, such as the stirrup. Some of the riches were probably acquired through the control of mining districts and the production of iron. The rulers had troops of mounted elite warriors with costly armour, since their graves were found with stirrups and saddle ornaments of birds of prey in gilded bronze with encrusted garnets. The geometric and interlaced patter was popular especially in Scandinavia, although we can find ornaments with similar motif among continental Germanic people. Abstractly designed small brooches like this were fashionable until larger and more massive Viking oval and drum brooches replaced them.

After a successful contact with several masters of French sculpture and painting, he decided to return home with his wife and daughter. Foretay left a legacy of remarkable sculptures that are highly collectible.
