TREVOR BATES [1921-2008]. Bird, c.1961. bronze with an unusual grey patina and oil paint, unique. Signed. 36 cm high. Provenance: private collection, Ireland [deceased estate]; according to the descendents it was believed to be acquired from Waddington Galleries, perhaps Victor Waddington? There is a number below the signature which looks like 81 [?] - this is unlikely to be the date as the sculpture is very much in the artist's 1950s/early 1960s style - when he moved to Canada in the late 1960s his style changed and he was no longer represented by Waddingtons. He was a very successful artist when in the UK with one-man exhibitions at Waddington Galleries in the late 1950s and early 1960s. When he moved to Canada he exhibited much less and mainly earned a living teaching art. A very good sculptor and underrated - moving to Canada wasn't a good idea career-wise. His sculpture rarely appears on the market. This sculpture sold at one of our auctions a few years ago for £2300 [hammer price]. [good condition - dust and deposits picked up over the years]. Buyers premium 20% + vat payable. ARR 4%.

They later married and she changed her name to Maharani Prem Kaur Sahiba.Demétre Chiparus (1886-1947), was born in Drohoi, Romania, went to study in Italy with the sculptor Raffaello Romanelli, and then enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The distinctive sculptures he produced, in the Art Deco style, were frequently made with bronze and ivory - a tradition that had been used in ancient Greece and commonly known as chryselephantine.Chiparus, fascinated by the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb and influenced by Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, was also inspired by the exotic - something that is very evident in this fantastic sculpture.Condition report: Stamped marks under foot, signed to the top of the marble behind the figure.

Jules Leleu (French, 1883-1961), an Art Deco sycamore parquetry cabinet, with four cupboards, inlaid with pewter, flanked with plain capitals and columns, stamped '21667' and signed to one of the central doors, 189.5cm wide52.5cm deep155cm highJules Leleu (1883-1961)Born into a family of artisans and artists in Boulogne-sur-Mer in Northern France, Jules Leleu was one of the fathers of French Art Deco design. Although he ‘never achieved the international fame of Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann, Jean Michel Frank, or Le Corbusier,’The New York Times once wrote, ‘he was just as successful and probably more prolific than his better-known contemporaries.’Leleu exhibited at the prestigious ‘Exposition des Arts Decoratifs’ in 1925, for which he designed the chairs for the Grand Salon and the Music Room, both part of the French Embassy Exhibition, and also exhibited a complete suite of furniture in his own space on the Esplanade des Invalides. He won a Grand Prize at the 1925 Exposition, and one of his pieces was purchased by the Metropolitan Museum in New York City.Often compared with the furniture designs of Ruhlmann, Leleu’s chairs, tables, and cabinets emphasized simple shapes, exotic woods, and marquetry, and inlaid ivory and other embellishments.As these techniques had been brought to France from the Orient, Leleu employed Oriental craftspeople for this work. Hamanaka, one of the great masters of lacquer work, and the famed Jean Dunand, who had learned the skills from Hamanaka, collaborated with Leleu on pieces where lacquer was an element.Leleu was very prolific, and was also constantly evolving and developing his styles. The awards that he won brought him many important clients and commissions, including the ocean liners Ile de France and the famed and ill-fated Normandie. Among other important commissions were a dining room for the Elysée Palace, and, later on, the Grand Salon des Ambassadeurs at La Societé des Nations in Geneva, called the Salon Leleu, and is still in existence.The collection comes from the descendants of Mrs Celestine Galani, the wife of John Galani, who ran a Shipping Company, and who was a friend of Jules Leleu. She commissioned him in the 1940s, to decorate her entire apartment at 81 Avenue Marceau in Paris. Their flat was less than one mile from the Maison Leleu which was at 65 Avenue Franklin Roosevelt, in the 8th arrondissement, in Paris. Condition report: No shelves, knocked edges.
