Ⓖ A BRONZE FIGURE OF VENUS, PROBABLY FRENCH 17TH / 18TH CENTURY of Venus Pudica type but looking over her right shoulder, modelled in contrapposto, her lowered right arm clutching a drapery, her raised left hand shielding one breast, on a naturalistic base, dark patinated, on a square Rosso Levanto marble plinth bronze 27cm high, 36cm high overall Provenance: Gerald Coke (1907-1990) of Jenkyn Place, Bentley, Hampshire; to his son, the vendor, John Coke. Gerald Coke was a very successful business man and collector. He is perhaps best known for the Coke Handel Collection, an outstanding assembly of 'Handeliana' left to the nation (allocated to the Foundling Museum), his collection of James Giles decorated Worcester porcelain (bequeathed to the Worcester Porcelain Museum) and for the famous gardens he and his wife created at Jenkyn Place. Additionally he had collected Regency furniture during the war, as well as Renaissance bronzes, apparently turning from the latter because of their increasing cost (The Independent, 1 September 1995). Much of the furniture and furnishings from Jenkyn Place were sold at the auction 'The Coke Collection from Jenkyn Place', Christie's, London, 7 October 1996. This figure is probably from a model produced by one of the sculptors working for Louis XIV's court such as Corneille van Cleve (1645-1732) or Robert Le Lorrain (1666-1743).

Set remains in generally good condition. Captain Wilkinson was awarded an immediate Military Cross for gallantry during the Italian campaign in 1944. The recommendation for the award was as follows, “At VIETRI SUL MARE on 13 September 1943 Captain Wilkinson was commanding the left forward troop in the defile. During the mortar bombardment preceding the attack which the enemy put in on his position Captain Wilkinson was blown from his weapon pit by a mortar bomb which landed two feet away piercing both his ear drums. In the subsequent attack Captain Wilkinson showed great gallantry. The enemy succeeded in infiltrating round the flanks of the position and the troop suffered heavy casualties. Realising the seriousness of the position and despite mortar bombs and small arms fire Captain Wilkinson went himself to find out the situation on the flanks and to encourage the men who were fighting against heavy odds. By his outstanding leadership and disregard for his own safety he inspired his troop who successfully repulsed the attack inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy”. According to “The Marines Were There” by Robert Bruce Lockhart (Putnam, 1950 pages 95-97) Captain Anthony Douglas Wilkinson was Officer Commanding A Troop, 41 RM Commando at Salerno in September 1943 and his MC was for Salerno where 41 Cdo suffered 50% casualties. Another book “Marine Commando - Sicily and Salerno with 41 RM Commando” (Hale, 1988) say Wilkinson commanded A Troop at La Molina, Sicily and was wounded there. The book has a photo of the officers of 41 Cdo aboard SS Durban Castle en route to Sicily and Wilkinson appears in the photo.
