FLEMISH MYTHOLOGICAL TAPESTRY OF DIDO AND AENAES PROBABLY BRUGES, LATE 17TH/ EARLY 18TH CENTURY depicting Dido in a gold dress and blue mantle approaching Aenaes who reclines beneath an olive tree, wearing a flowing red cloak, Dido's head turned with her gaze to the viewer, accompanied by Cupid who bears an open jewel casket, a carriage drawn by three stamping horses on the left, within flower borders with bead and reel slips marked with cartouches, a horn, and a hunter's bag (279cm high, 376cm wide) Footnote: Provenance: The Earls of Crawford and Balcarres, Balcarres House, Fife, Scotland Note: A clever and enterprising woman and founding Queen of Carthage, the enduring figure of Dido is best known from Virgil’s account in his epic poem Aeneid. Depicting the legend of Trojan hero Aenaes, the story recalls Aenaes and his crew being washed ashore and seeking refuge from Dido and her people. At the hands of Venus and Cupid, a passionate love affair soon ensues between the pair. The affair comes to an abrupt end after Aenaes is met by Mercury who reminds him of his destiny as Trojan hero and future founder of Rome; he quickly departs in the night with his men, leaving behind a heartbroken Dido. Unable to cope, Dido burns all that reminded her of Aenaes and kills herself; a tragic act which provokes eternal strife between Aenaes’ people and her own. This tapestry depicts an early scene in which Cupid, at the request of Venus, disguises as Aenaes’ younger brother to offer gifts to Dido in return for refuge and shelter. Accepting, Dido cradles Cupid who begins to weaken her sworn fidelity to her late husband, thus revealing her newfound love for Aenaes.

RARE PAIR OF FRENCH CARTON MOULE 'SEASIDE' DOLLS CIRCA 1800 each with carved and painted papier maché features, in elaborate dress decorated with shell and mica, with a single and later glass dome (Each 33.5cm high) Qty: (2) Footnote: Provenance: The Earls of Crawford and Balcarres, Balcarres House, Fife, Scotland Note: During the early 1800s, the Emperor Napoleon reinstated the gabelle , a highly unpopular tax on salt which brought much poverty to the North-West regions of France, who were not granted exemptions. Salt workers here, or paludiers, were exploited for their goods, only to see them being sold for high mark-ups in other regions. Yet the picturesque scenes of coastal France continued to bring many wealthy visitors, prompting locals to make souvenirs from shells and other items foraged from their shorelines. These charming dolls, often referred to as Les Poupée du Paludier, were lavish in their decoration but reflected the traditional costume of the impoverished Breton paludiers. Their widespread appeal sparked a trend in 'shell art' and helped to sustain the livelihoods of coastal communities in France.

Lot 147
An Ernst Wahliss ware plaque, possibly Elizabeth I. Diameter 39 cm and housed in an ebonised frame (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The frame is clearly Victorian circa 1880 and we would therefore imagine the plaque to be a similar age. The Wahliss paper label to the rear of the plaque suggests a similar age also. From what we can see of the plaque it appears to be in good order with no chips, no damage and no restoration. The very edge of the plaque is however obscured by the slip. The ebonised frame has some minor edge nibbles and rubbing to the ebonised finish. The circular inner frame has a stress fracture to the top just above the left hand side of the crown. This should be visible on the image. The face and hair appear to be underglaze whilst the headdress rough jewels and dress are definitely painted on top of the glaze.
