λ&nbspENZO PLAZZOTTA (ITALIAN 1921-1981) ICARUS Bronze Signed and numbered 3/6 Width: 102cm (40in.) Provenance: Obelisk Gallery, London Literature: Carol Plazotta and Richard O'Conor, Enzo Plazotta, A Catalogue Raisonné, London, 1986, p. 161, no. 309 (Similar cast from same series)Italian-born sculptor Enzo Plazzotta Studied in Milan at the Accademia di Brera under Francesco Messina, until the outbreak of the second World War, when he enrolled in the army. He was sent to North Africa until Mussolini's fall, and subsequently founded a partisan movement, which led to his imprisonment. Released from the prison after the war, Plazzotta returned to Brera to complete his studies. In 1957 he travelled to England to present a statuette, before deciding to establish his artistic profile in London, directing his attention towards setting up a commercial art agency. At the age of forty, Plazzotta turned his attention back to sculpting, working mainly in bronze to create sculptures of dynamic human and animal figures, with a specific interest in dancers and horses. Despite many of his sculptures being situated on the streets of London, he maintained close links to his home-country, casting much of his work at his studio in the quarries of Pietrasanta. In 1976, Plazzotta was honoured the title of Cavaliere from the Italian government, acknowledging his services to Italian art. By 1981, Plazzotta's health was diminishing due to cancer, and he passed away within the same year. Plazzotta's work has been widely exhibited globally in Europe, the United States and Australia, and features in several public and private collections including the Vatican, Rome, The Hermitage, Lausanne and The Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane.

AN ANTIQUARIAN GILT BRONZE AND CHINESE LACQUER-MOUNTED BREAKFRONT SIDE CABINET 19TH CENTURY, OF LOUIS XIV STYLE, THE LACQUER PANELS 18TH CENTURY The marble top above a frieze of foliate scrolls and acanthus above three doors displaying re-used lacquer panels enclosing oak shelves, above a raised plinth centred by a panel with bearded mask and with rosette blocks, on tapering feet with acanthus clasps, one lock stamped Comyn Ching & Co 97cm high, 160cm wide, 58cm deepProvenance: The Hon. Claude John Yorke, and thence by descent This imposing cabinet reflects the antiquarian taste prevalent in England in the 19th century, led by London dealer/agents and manufacturers such as Edward Holmes Baldock who was trading from various addresses in of Hanway Street from 1805 and Robert Hume trading from Berners Street from 1829. Indeed the Covent Garden and Soho areas of London witnessed a huge number of businesses engaged in the trade in new, restored and second hand furniture and works of art, from the likes of Baldock and Hume whose clients included royalty and the nobility, to traders who bought and sold `curios' and others who were little more than dealers in scrap. The trade was fanned by enthusiastic and wealthy and collectors of `antiques' such as William Beckford (d.1844) and the Duke of Hamilton (d.1852), historic house refurbishments such as at Hardwick Hall (1839 - 49) and sometimes hare-brained projects such as the Earl of Eglinton's chivalric Tournament of 1839 offered dealers an easy opportunity to make money, while auction sales of eminent collections brought yet more artefacts to the market. Part of this trade saw new furniture created re-using older element, particularly those items deemed precious or valuable, hard stones, Chinese and Japanese lacquer, carved ebony, boulle and tortoiseshell and even old oak. Makers such as Baldock incorporated these in conventional ways, using newly made pieces and the best are superbly executed. A detailed study of the trade was published by Mark Westgarth, Biographical Dictionary of Nineteenth Century Antique and Curiosity Dealers, Regional Furniture Society Journal, 2009, vol.23. A Regency cabinet of similar type, black and gilt-japanned and incorporating 18th century Kangxi lacquer was sold from Crichel, Dorset, at Christie's, London, 23 May 2013, lot 152 (£22,500 including premium).The attribution to a London antiquarian manufacturer is reinforced by the use of locks marked by the Seven Dials ironmonger Comyn Ching & Co.      Condition Report: Generally good, structurally secure with wear and tear consistent with age and use. There are minor scratches marks and scuffing and some constructional shrinkage cracks. The marble top is in good order but with some repairs, a crack running front to back about 23cm from the left edge and a repaired break to the back right corner. Otherwise some minor edge chips. The ormolu all present, of large scale with good chiselling, overall of reasonable quality. Lacquer panels with typical craquelure and yellowing of surface varnish. but with sensitive conservation they would come alive. Minor lifting to the brass stringing on the left side. There is a 26cm piece of ebonised facing detached to the upright inside the centre door. The carcase made of framed and panelled oak, quite precisely machined and assembled typical of 19th century work. Each door revealing a single shelf. Overall a handsome and robust cabinet.

RICHARD WESTMACOTT (1775-1856) A MARBLE PORTRAIT BUST OF CHARLES JAMES FOX 1818 Signed and dated "RD. Westmacott R.A 1818" 70cm high It is likely that this exact bust is the one referred to in the National Portrait Gallery summation of the known portraits of the Whig statesman Charles James Fox (1749-1806): "1816- Statue by Richard Westmacott jr., whole-length seated, the Magna Carta in his right hand. Bloomsbury Square, London (illus. M. Busco, Sir Richard Westmacott, 1994, p 73). Engraved S. W. Reynolds and W. Ward 1817. A bronze model formerly at Holland House. The head based on Nollekens's 1801 bust. Separate marble busts by Westmacott sold Christie's, 28 January 1988, lot 189, and formerly at Alscot Park; bronze busts sold Sotheby's, 15 July 1998, lot 38 (as Nollekens), and in Brooks's, London." As the NPG indicates, the Bloomsbury Square statue of Fox and the accompanying separate busts may well have drawn inspiration in their depiction from Nollekens's 1801/1802 bust- a version of which is held in the NPG itself (NPG 3887). The other portrait by Westmacott is in Westminster Abbey- Fox's monument, depicted supported by Liberty, mourned by Peace and thanked by Africa. (illus. M. Busco, Sir Richard Westmacott, 1994, p 70). A bronze bust of Fox is held in the Parliamentary Art Collection.Literature: National Portrait Gallery collection catalogue: John Ingamells, National Portrait Gallery: Mid-Georgian Portraits 1760-1790, National Portrait Gallery, 2004The collection from Trethill House, Cornwall Condition Report: With wear, marks, knocks and scratches as per age, handling, use, and cleaning.

An Important 17th Century Italian bronze royal marriage urn bearing the combined arms of the House of Savoy and France.Ovoid form with rounded stepped foot, the upper section molded with winged masques, the handles in the form of harpies, with coat-of-arms to either side.H: 35.5 in. (including handles)W: 26.5 in.Dia: 15.5 in. (diameter at rim)Provenance:Heirloom & Howard Ltd., London, 1974From the personal collection of a Florentine Gentleman Collector (acquired directly from above).Note:This urn was meant to symbolize the union of the House of Savoy with France, commemorating the marriage between Victor Amadeus I (1587-1637), Duke of Savoy, and Christine of France (1606-1663), or Victor Amadeus II (1666-1732), Duke of Savoy, and Anne Marie d'Orleans (1669-1728). The design of The Royal Palace of Turin, a seat of the House of Savoy, was overhauled and reconfigured by Christine of France in the 17th century, so it is possible that this urn was commissioned during this period. The palace collection presently includes other bronze urns of the same overall form, although with slightly different detailing.Conditionexcellent condition for age; overall with nice verdigris patina commensurate with age, having some occasional scuffs, scrapes, and dark marks indicative of use; one darker area near bottom of body with pin-sized surface holes (don't poke through)- possible sign of surface deterioration; the bottom has hole that goes through; interior showing metal seam; occasional roughness to edge along rim

BRONZE AGE GOLD RING-MONEY, two Penannular rings of circular section of solid gold with a high purity. (7.7g)The social and legal structure of Pre-Christian society was highly regimented and followed a justice system based on reparation. This usually involved payment by the perpetrator to the victim and their family. The nature of these repayments varied with records from the period detailing the exchange of slaves or cattle as well as smaller items such as tools and ornaments. Gold ring-money would be amongst these exchanges, as items they varied in quality and standard which would suggest that they lacked a fixed denomination as expected in the monetary exchange of modern society. However, solid gold pieces such as these present examples would carry significant value.
