Ferdinand Preiss, Art Deco Sculptor, the fire and the flame, Woodbridge 2005, p.105 where the smaller version of this model is illustratedNote: At the beginning of the 20th Century the German Ferdinand Preiss established a company with Arthur Kassler known as Preiss-Kassler and until his death in 1943 he continued to design sculptures. Regarded as one of the most important Art Deco sculptors, he is acclaimed for his popular mixed media (chryselephantine) figures which were affordable to the middle class and appropriately sized for the home. His works were usually based on classical and mythical subjects, such as The Archer, circa 1925, which appears to represent Diana the huntress from Roman mythology. Amongst his other favoured subjects were idealised children, women at leisure sunbathing or holding parasols, or figures involved in sporting endeavours such as ice-skating, playing tennis, football or golf, or even javelin throwing. Preiss' Archer was executed in two sizes, the present lot representing one of only a few known examples of the rare larger variant.Note: Please be aware that this lot contains material that may be subject to import/export restrictions, especially outside the EU, due to CITES regulations.

Lot 390
patinated gilt bronze, with Daum mottled glass shade, stamped E. BRANDT, engraved DAUM NANCY FRANCE with Cross of Lorraine160cm highFootnote: Literature: Kahr J. Edgar Brandt: Master of Art Deco Ironwork, New York, 1999, pp. 156-7, pl. 166.Kahr J. Edgar Brandt: Art Deco Ironwork, New York, 2010, p. 133, pl. 184 et p. 134 for a view of the design in the Brandt showrooms at 101 boulevard Murat, Paris in about 1923.Note: Edgar Brandt was a celebrated Art Deco designer working in metal producing both private and public works. He celebrated the past but was also thoroughly modern. He understood traditional materials and chose to explore their potential, besides using hand-tools, he also relied on machines. Brandt set up a workshop in 1901 and by 1925 was exhibiting on the world stage at the Paris Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (International Exposition of Decorative Arts and Modern Industries). A design he showed on this occasion was La Tentation, a lamp featuring a serpent. A subject of antiquity that appeared in ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian culture as a creature to both be feared and revered. It was an exotic motif also employed by other leading Art Deco designers including René Lalique, Jean Dunand, Albert Chereut and Paul Jouve. The serpent was a recurrent motif in Brandt’s work appearing on andirons, vases, cachepots, paperweights and incense burners, but is perhaps best remembered in his two lamps designs both of which were produced in bronze between 1920-26. This present example La Tentation being the larger of the two, the smaller being referred to as the Cobra. Both lamps were made to order and available in two sizes and this present lot is the larger version. They were of high quality, not only in terms of the sophistication of the design, but also in their execution and the attention paid to their finishing. Brandt employed specialists to patinate the pieces. La Tentation was a great commercial success and remain highly sought after still today by collectors.La Simplicitée lamp by contrast illustrates Brandt’s passion for iron. The textured circular base supports soaring vertical elements conjoined by scrolling and foliate forms. Brandt’s lamp offered his customers move versatile lighting options than traditional fixed chandeliers provided.IMPORTANT INFO FOR ‡ LOTSLots affixed with ‡ or [Ω] symbols may be subject to further regulations upon export /import, please see Conditions of Sale for Buyers Section D.2.Collection of Purchased ‡ Lots:For items marked with the ‡ (denoting additional VAT payable at a reduced rate of 5% on the hammer price) additional time should be allowed for Customs clearance by HMRC if the item is to remain in the UK.

Lot 142
patinated wrought iron with hammered and patinated copper shades and brass ceiling hook100cm diameter, 175cm highFootnote: Provenance: Property from an Important Private CollectionLiterature: Ashbee, C.R. Suggestions for Light Fittings Art Journal, 1895 V&A Accession number M.60-2000See Guild of Handicraft Trade Catalogue, circa 1900, p.58, where a similar wrought-iron ceiling light is illustratedNote: The openwork construction of this impressive light, the pendant fittings and the distinctive arrangement of electric wires are characteristic of Ashbee's work in the then relatively new medium of lighting for electricity. Ashbee, in his paper Suggestions for Light Fittings of 1895 was particularly interested to note that light from electricity fell instead of rose, as with candles and gas lighting. Many of his fittings employ the use of cowled reflectors which further direct the light downwards. He went on to state that “I prefer rest in a design and feel disturbed when three naked bronze children come rushing over the table with forty-eight candle-power hands full”. In the Art Journal article, Ashbee described a chandelier which he designed for the drawing-room of his house, the Magpie and Stump at 37 Cheyne Walk, as "a rather elaborate arrangement of a nine-pendant rose.... Here, almost the whole effect of the design is got in the manipulation of the cords, and - a little detail in light designing that is so often forgotten - their arrangement is such as to cast pleasing and broken shadows on the ceiling. The nine-pendant circular rose in question spins a sort of grand spider-web upon white plaster."
