A RARE TEXTILE AND NEEDLEWORK COLLAGE PICTURE DEPICTING SAINT CECILIA, LATE 16TH/EARLY 17TH CENTURYDepicting interior setting with seated figure of the Saint, patron of music and musicians, with attendant angel playing a pipe organ, hand annotated musical text, donor (?) figures to an archway to the left, created using paper, textiles, hand dotted gilded paper, the whole with penwork and hand painted detailing, and with small glass beads simulating jewelled details and fruitsapproximately 20 x 28cm, in an ebonised moulded 17th century frame, 41.5 x 49.5cm overall Together with a letter, dated 1972, from the Wendy Hefford, Research Assistant Department of Textiles at the Victoria & Albert Museum stating "The picture of cut paper and textiles seems perfectly correct for a 17th century date so far as the style of the *** and the patterned textiles are concerned", and a footnote from PW Jackson, Deputy Keeper Prints & Drawings, confirming "The drawing supports the same conclusion". The latter part of the 16th century had seen a large resurgence of interest in Saint Cecilia. In 1585 Pope Sixtus VI had founded the the Academy of Music (Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia) in her name. In 1599 her tomb in Trastevere was opened and the priest and others testified to the incorruptibility of her cadaver- an affirmation of her blessed status. The musical score is inscribed with the Cantantibus organis. This Latin text forms the antiphon of the Vespers on her Feast Day, November 22nd. 'Organis', Latin for 'musical instruments', was often mistranslated as 'organ' and hence, as in this picture, the Saint is often depicted playing, or being played, an organ. The pipes themselves look possibly to be tarnished silver. The exuberant combination of textiles is reminiscent of needlework and embroidery produced by glove and stomacher makers of this period. The dotted gilded paperwork is akin to contemporary gold braiding work whilst the painted detailing evokes the work of burse makers and limners. Although the likely origin of this work is, as yet, unknown it would seem to be the work of a gifted child or young person- emulating the finer work they may have seen in their household. It has been noted though that the male figure shows strong similarities in dress, face and hair to the Hilliard 'Attici amoris ergo' portrait miniature from 1588- now in the V&A collection. Condition Report: As per age and materials used- there has been shrinkage to paper sections- and tarnishing to metal surfaces. Lower left hand corner looks 'incomplete' and indicates that there would have been additional decoration- now absent.Colours and details slightly faded from sunlight and atmosphere exposurePlease refer to all additional images for visual reference to condition. Please note, the additional images are not exhaustive but try to give a representation of of the condition notes Condition Report Disclaimer

A CHINESE EXPORT REVERSE-PAINTED WALL MIRROR THIRD QUARTER 18TH CENTURY In a later carved giltwood frame, in George III style, the mirror plate depicting figures in traditional dress and various animals, with a hilly river landscape beyond 96cm high, 112cm wide Provenance: The Private Collection of Sir David and Lady Scholey For a remarkably similar example of mirror with virtually identical but slightly smaller frame, see Christie's, The Collector: Live, 19th May 2021, Lot 101. Condition Report: Marks, scratches and abrasions comensurate with age and use.Old chips and splits, some wear and loss to the gilding to the frame comensurate with age and use. To the lower left corner joint of the frame there is some movement and slight seperation (see image) As noted in the catalogue description, the carved giltwood and gesso frame is of later date than the mirror plate. The carving is of a high standard and faithful to the period. It is not easy to conclude precisely how old the frame is but it may be only 40 years old. Various depletion to the mirror plate, (please refer to the catalogue images for visual reference) There is no evidence of the edge of the plate being bevelled. Where there has been some minor movement to the plate, upon close and well lit inspection approximately 20-30cm of the outermost edge of the mirror plate is visible just inside the adjacent inside edge of the frame in the top right corner of the frame The size of the visible plate only is 56.5cm high, 92cm wide. The provenance to this mirror is that it is currently being offered in behalf of The Private Collection of Sir David and Lady Scholey. There is further background to the collection on page 53 of our catalogue . Sir David has recalled purchasing this mirror circa 1960's-80's in central London. No further detail can be recalled or there is record of than this. Please refer to additional images for visual reference to condition Condition Report Disclaimer
