Lot 90
A large benedictet from the second half of the 18th century.In silver.With punches.Measurements: 51 x 32 cm.An important Baroque blessing box made of embossed and contrasted silver. The whole surface is entirely decorated with Baroque-inspired vegetal elements, such as garlands, flowers, scrolls and avenerate forms. The vegetal decoration is accompanied by figurative decoration, as in the central scene we see Saint Joseph carrying the Child in his arms. In addition, there is also an eagle holding a crucifix with a holy-water basin. The piece is crowned by a Greek cross with vegetal decoration.The benditeras are utensils that contain a receptacle of holy water and are used to make the sign of the cross or to make the sign of the cross. They are a domestic version of the holy-water fonts found at the entrance to churches, evoking the water fonts traditionally found around or inside religious and magical places. In popular domestic use, they are usually placed by the front door or in bedrooms and are used by their owners to make themselves holy when they go to bed or get up. They can be defined as small plates or slabs, usually oval, on which various motifs have been carved or moulded, and which are decorated overall. Their lower front part includes a shallow receptacle for holding holy water.

Lot 196
A 19th century French gilt brass mounted 'Boulle' tortoiseshell inlaid mantle clockthe movement signed Vincenti et Ciethe swept arched case with intricate brass inlay and foliate mounts surmounted by an urn above a fully glazed front door and sides on scrolling feet, the cast brass dial with separate Arabic and Roman enamel cartouche insets to the chapter ring, the winding holes on a matted and foliate case ground with blued steel hands, the twin spring barrel movement with Brocot escapement and suspension, with elaborate sunburst pendulum, case key, winding key and suspension key, 57cms highFootnotes:Born in Corsica in 1786, Jean Vincenti's family moved to Montbeliard in1791. By 1823 he had established a factory making rough movements for clocks and watches. It seems that the bulk of the ebauche/rough movement machinery used in the factory was self-made. The factory went bankrupt in 1828, but by October 1829 Albert Roux had possibly enerted into partnership with Vincenti, or possibly bought his factory outright, however the name, Vincenti & Cie, was kept. Around 1830, in addition to the rough movements (of which 3,000 were being produced a year), mechanical devices were being made as well, including metronomes, oil lamps, music boxes, etc. In 1834, Roux took over an old sawmill and weaving factory and, as the building dated to 1773, updated it and based Vincenti & Cie there. Before this move it was known in the area as L'usine de la Petite Raisse (The Factory of Petite Raisse); by the time Vincenti & Cie ceased trading, it was known as L'Usine Roux (Roux's Factory). Vincenti died in 1834, the same year Vincenti & Cie won a silver medal at the Exposition. They would go on to win medals at the Expositions of 1839,1844,1849,1855, and 1867.In 1850, workers lodgings were built on the site and six years later, a house for Roux and his family was constructed within the factory's footprint. Albert died in 1858 and was succeeded by his son Amédée. His son would expand the output of the factory to encompass chiming clocks, travel alarm clocks, Morse code receivers, and several other devices. 1864 saw the addition of a foundry to the factory; in this same year, it is recorded that 5,500 rough clock movements were made per month. Amédée died in 1876, when his son was 9. It seems likely (based on similar situations with other horologists) that Amédée's wife, Emma de Freystedt, would have taken over the running of the factory, until Albert had been educated. Albert was listed as an horological manufacturer, as were his father and grandfather, therefore it seems likely he would have taken over the running of the factory eventually. 1890 saw another expansion into phonograph movements and mechanisms for various meters, extinguishers, etc. Initially their customers had been in Paris, and later the Jura region. By 1890, however, their client base had expanded to neighbouring Belgium and Switzerland, as well as slightly further afield in the UK and even the USA. To meet demand, they were making 80,000 clock movement per year, though this figure does include the clockwork motors and meters mentioned above. Around this same time, the foundry was being used to make brass and bronze wire, an operation that was expanded in 1895. That same year, a salesroom was established in Paris, 110 rue Vielle-du-Temple.The last expansion of the factory took place in 1902, when a new steam engine and steam engine room were installed, to modernise the factory's water wheels and 1840's steam engine. By 1926, 57 people remained working in the factory, and the doors were finally closed in 1929. At its peak, in 1863, the Vincenti & Cie factory had employed 400 workers, and been the largest rough movement manufacturer of clocks in France, with the exception of Japy freres.Raphaël, F., Région Franche-Comté, Inventaire du patrimoine (2012) Usine d'horlogerie et de mécanique de précision Roux et Cie.

A late Victorian ebony, palmwood and ivory inlaid display cabinetprobably by Gillow and Co. or Lamb of ManchesterWith ivory stringing, the central bevelled glass inset astragal glazed door enclosing two shelves, flanked by a pair of twin raised panelled quarter veneered and tablet inlaid doors, each enclosing one shelf, above a Greek key inlaid frieze, over a central bevelled glass inset astragal glazed door, enclosing one shelf, flanked by two raised panelled tablet inlaid and roundel centred doors, interspersed throughout with reeded pilasters, the Chubb lock plates stamped with serial numbers and also stamped: 'CHUBB PATENT, 128 QUEEN VICTORIA ST., ST. PAUL'S, LONDON', 110cm wide x 36cm deep x 172cm high, (43in wide x 14in deep x 67 1/2in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe offered lot previously belonged to the grandfather of the current owner and vendor. And it is thought by family repute that the great grandfather, Sir Charles Alexander Innes KCSI CIE(1874-1959), originally acquired this display cabinet at the end of the 19th century. Both of these forebears lived and worked in colonial India and Burma, where they were evidently central figures in the administrative running of the British Empire overseas.It seems highly likely that the present piece remained in imperial India until the country gained its independence in 1947, from which time onwards the cabinet evidently permanently returned to England with the family.Sir Charles Alexander InnesCharles Alexander Innes, who was born in Secunderabad, Hyderabad, went on to pass the Indian Civil Service exam in 1897 following an education at Merchant Taylors' School and St. John's College, Oxford. Charles travelled to the Madras Presidency where he was employed as a settlement officer in Malabar, in which capacity he also supplied material for The Imperial Gazetteer of India. Then he took up the role of Deputy Secretary to the Indian government. By 1916 Innes had been elected Director of Industries and Controller of Munitions in Madras. After World War I, Innes was appointed Foodstuffs Commissioner with the Indian government. In 1920, as secretary in the Commerce Department, one of his additional responsibilities was to oversee the functioning of the railways. During the following year, Charles Alexander was made Head of the Commerce Department. Two highlights from the period of his term were: the partition of the general finance budget from the railways budget and the foundation of a policy known as 'discriminating protection', the latter of which granted India more self-determination in the area of fiscal policy.The establishment of a Tariff Board of inquiries, which was of massive assistance to the rapidly expanding steel and iron industries in India, was also a policy accredited to Innes. This in turn set up the system which subsequently provided major support in terms of both arming and bolstering the allied forces during World War II. Having been honoured with the position of Governor of Burma in 1927, he went on to serve as such until 1932. Ultimately Charles Alexander was chairman of the Mercantile Bank of India between 1938 and 1952, after initially joining the Bank's board in 1933.Among the most significant distinctions bestowed upon Innes throughout his life were; Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire (1919 Birthday Honours) for services during the war; Companion of the Order of the Star of India (1921 Birthday Honours); and Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India (1924 New Year Honours).In 1900 Sir Charles, who was actually descended from the Inneses of Drainie, married Agatha Rosalie, who was the daughter of Colonel Kenlie Stevenson of the Indian Army. Together they had four sons and one daughter. Their daughter Rosalie married Thomas Wynford Rees, the latter being Charles Alexander's private secretary during Innes's tenure as Governor of Burma. During much of his career Rees served as a highly decorated officer in the British Indian Army but eventually progressed to attain the rank of Major General.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Alexander_InnesThe item within this lot containing ivory has been registered in accordance with the Ivory Act (Section 10).

Lot 266
A pair of rosewood D-shaped hanging display cabinets by Edward Barnsleypossibly made in 1967 following a Barnsley designEach inlaid with sycamore stringing, the projecting top above a hinged glazed door with re-entrant upper angles, enclosing glass shelves, each stamped: 'BARNSLEY', 51cm wide x 24cm deep x 76cm high, (20in wide x 9in deep x 29 1/2in high) (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe offered pair of hanging display cabinets were bought 'ready made' from the Edward Barnsley workshop by the parents of the current owner and vendor.Unfortunately no specific commission details relating to the present cabinets appear among the records at the Edward Barnsley Workshop.However it is almost certainly the case that they were made, following a 1967 Barnsley design, for the purpose of workshop stock, possibly alongside other identical or comparable examples of this type.The Barnsley design for the current lot, which is dated 1967, is illustrated in the exhibition catalogue, Edward Barnsley, Sixty Years of Furniture Design and Cabinet Making, printed: 1982, fig. 73, p. 55. The original pair of rosewood and sycamore inlaid display cabinets of this particular model were specially made by the Barnsley workshop for a Mrs E. Hibberd.The plinth to the interior of these cabinets was requested by Mrs Hibberd so that any objects to be displayed inside them would be visible above the door frame. The Japanese silk used for the back and plinth of the interior had been sourced in London by Edward Barnsley following Mrs Hibberd's requirement of a soft lining. It is interesting to note that another two pairs of this exact design, which were made from Cuban mahogany, were produced at the same time. And it is documented that one of these pairs was purchased by a Mrs Bennett.We are extremely grateful to the Edward Barnsley Educational Trust for their assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP 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.

By 1870, there were no fewer than six hundred craftsmen employed at his company.As well as producing furniture for his many wealthy clients, Diehl's firm also made a vast array of luxury objects such as jewellery caskets, liqueur cabinets, games boxes and humidor cabinets.
