A LOUIS XV STYLE ORMOLU AND 'BLANC DE CHINE' PORCELAIN MANTEL CLOCKTHE MOVEMENT BY VINCENTI ET CIE, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURYThe circular eight-day countwheel bell striking movement with vertically planted platform cylinder escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance, the backplate stamped with VINCENTI & CIE, MEDAILLE D'ARGENT, 1855 medallion beneath serial number 2329, the 3 inch circular convex white enamel dial with vertical Arabic hour numerals and scroll-pierced gilt brass hands set behind a hinged convex bevel-glazed moulded cast brass bezel, the case with white ceramic recumbent figure in stylised oriental dress attended by a boy with a slice of melon, set on a gilt brass oval stand cast and chased with open foliate rococo scrollwork, the rear issuing a naturalistically cast shrub applied with porcelain blooms suspending the clock movement within a white ceramic melon above the figure and surmounted by a Ho-Ho bird.38.5cm (15ins) high, 30.5cm (12ins) wide, 21.5cm (8.5ins) deep.Condition Report: Movement appears complete and all-original. Both trains are currently fully wound; the strike train is operational however the going train is currently not running most likely due to 'gumming-up' (the escapement appears undamaged and the balance will pivot). Movement therefore most likely only requires a gentle clean/service. The dial has very slight hairline cracks issuing from a small chip the right-hand winding hole and some blemishes to the left of the '10' numeral; the dial otherwise appears to be in good original condition but has overall heavy grime deposits/discolouration.The porcelain 'melon' hosing the movement has a small chip to the rear adjacent to the bezel together with some light hairline stress cracks and one or two firing shrinkage cracks. The figure group also has firing shrinkage cracks. The right hand of the larger figure has been restored, his left hand has restoration to the forefinger and the smaller figure also has restoration to his hands. The slice of melon has a small chip to one end, and a fruit to the base (behind the larger figure) is missing its stalk/bud. The Ho-Ho bird has lost his feet and has been re-attached to the gilt frame with glue. There is one flower missing; of the 19 that are present four have a noticeable loss of either a petal or most of a petal, damage is otherwise limited to some tiny edge chipping to around half of the blooms. The gilt metal work is in good original condition with no obvious losses or repairs.Clock does not have a winding key present. Condition Report Disclaimer

The case is generally in fine condition with no apparent chips to the front and top glasses. The side and rear panels have slight gilt wear and very slight edge fritting (only visible on very close examination).

A FINE FRENCH GILT BRASS ANGLAISE RICHE CASED PORCELAIN PANEL INSET MINIATURE CARRIAGE TIMEPIECE THE PANELS BY LUCIEN SIMONNET, PARIS, LATE 19th CENTURY The rectangular eight-day single train movement with silvered platform lever escapement and stamped with number 1782 to the lower left-hand corner of the backplate, the rectangular porcelain dial with musical trophy decorated centre to the white Roman numeral chapter ring and blued steel hands set within a polychrome painted Middle-Eastern landscape depicting a Mosque and minarets beside a lake, the anglaise riche case of Mignonnette No. 3 size with hinged reeded-baton centred carrying handle and bevelled top glass over moulded cornice with fluted frieze and Corinthian three-quarter columns with plain shafts to angles, the sides with finely painted porcelain panels depicting three-quarter length portraits of women in romanticised Middle-Eastern dress before buildings and incorporating monogram LS to lower right hand corners, the rear with bevel-glazed door, on ogee-outline base with pad feet. The clock 9cm (3.5ins) high handle down, 5.3cm (2.125ins) wide, 4.5cm (1.75ins) deep. Provenance: Private collection, East Midlands. The work of Lucien Simonnet (1849-1926) is discussed by Larry L. Fabian in his article Carriage Clock Porcelain. Artistic pedigrees hiding in plain view published in ANTIQUARIAN HOROLOGY December 2019 (pages 501-13). Simonnet was a Sevres trained painter of porcelain who appeared to specialise in producing the finest figural panels often based on works by well-known artists of the period. Fabian highlights three examples with three-quarter portrait panels after Emile Vernet-Lecomte and Charles Louis Muller executed in the romantic historic Middle-Eastern 'Orientalist' style. A fine grande-sonnerie striking carriage clock with push-button repeat and alarm also incorporating painted porcelain panels by Louis Simonnet was sold in these rooms on 24th June 2020 (lot 131) for £4,500 hammer.Miniature carriage clocks are called Mignonnettes or 'little darlings' and come in three graded sizes with No. 1 being the smallest.Condition Report: The movement appears all original, the spring is wound and the balance wheel free to oscillate however the clock is not running most likely due to the escapement itself been 'gummed-up' with old lubricant. The mechanism is generally a little discoloured neglected and there are a couple of drops of congealed oil on the backplate. The dial is free from noticeable damage although the centre appears to show some very light rubbing to the glaze. The case is generally in fine condition with minimal wear to the gilding and the glasses appear free from visible damage including corner chips. Both side panels appear free from visible damage however the left hand panel appears to have received some very slight restoration (retouching) to the rear edge adjacent to the corner pillar shaft probably to address some slight edge chipping.Timepiece does not have a winding key.

Lot 19
Middle Kingdom, 11th-12th Dynasties, circa 1991-1786 B.C. A limestone stela fashioned as a simplified ‘false-door’ - a symbolic portal originally carved into or painted onto a tomb wall to allow the Ka (spirit) of the deceased to venture from his/her burial chamber and partake in offerings of food and drink; the raised torus border framing the central scene and texts still retaining traces of an alternating yellow, red and white block decoration, above the frame a cavetto-style cornice highlighted with similarly coloured vertical and horizontal bands; the deceased wearing a short white kilt with a prominently-pointed front, secured by a narrow belt, the free end of which projects from the waist, wearing a short black wig, his outstretched left arm with an open palm, a gesture of veneration, while his bent right arm points to his wife standing behind him; the wife’s left arm outstretched and her hand resting on his shoulder, while her right arm hangs down at her side and holds a long-handled bag(?), wearing a long white strap dress which leaves her breasts exposed; between the man and woman a simple offering table with a red-painted jar and two incense pots with long wicks (or kohl-pots with long-stemmed applicators); to the man’s right two sandals shown side on ‘floating’ above the baseline; the man standing before a rack with shelves, four incense cones to the top together with meat, vegetable, and fruit offerings; two tall tear-drop-shaped vessels painted red with white stoppers both supported on collared rings stands on the shelves; four sandals to the right of the rack, drawn as viewed from above, arranged vertically; above the pictorial scene three horizontal lines of hieratic text written in black ink on a yellow ground, the few signs that remain in the top register present the opening of an offering formula, invoking the king and the jackal god Anubis (with some of his epithets) to grant food offerings to the owner of the stela; mounted on a custom-made display stand. See Dunham, D., Naga-ed-Dêr Stelae of the First Intermediate Period, London 1937, pls. XXIV no.2, XXVIII, no. 1, for vertical arrangements of 'loose' food offerings; Leiden Museum, inv.no. F 1937/12.1, for a provincial false-door stela; Semitic Museum, inv.no. 2354, for a provincial stela with 'floating' offerings. 22.7 kg, 52 x 32.5 cm including stand (20 1/2 x 12 3/4 in.). From the collection of Pierre Vérité, Paris, begun in the 1920s. By descent, the collection of Claude Vérité, Paris, France. Accompanied by an academic report by Egyptologist Paul Whelan. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11282-189916. One might wonder if the inclusion of the two groups of sandals (six in total) was especially important to the deceased - perhaps he was a leatherworker involved in their production. Overseers of sandal makers are attested at temple sites such as Abydos and Nag ed-Deir, and perhaps this modest stela belonged to a leatherworker under the supervision of just such an official. For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.]

A large buckle composed of a rectangular plate decorated with some later polychrome glass inlays arranged in rectangular and triangular cells, oval buckle with chamfered sides, D-section tongue with square plate bearing X-motif; accompanied by a custom-made display stand. Cf. Menghin, W., The Merovingian Period: Europe without Borders, Archaeology and history of the 5th-8th centuries, Germany, 2007, p.566-567, for similar; Various, I Goti (The Goths), Milano, 1994, fig.IV.11, IV.13, lett.r.; fig.IV.19, IV.20.IV.24, IV.41, IV.42; cf. an example at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 1988.305a, b. 155 grams, 15 cm (302 grams total, 18.5 cm including stand) (6 in. (7 1/4 in.)). Ex N.K., Paris-Geneva (1910-1996); thence by descent. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr. Raffaele D'Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate no.11408-189847. In Visigothic Spain, the belt buckle was a very visible symbol of rank and status. Brightly coloured buckles inset with pieces of glass and stone were characteristic of Visigothic women's dress. Buckles were gilded, inlaid with precious stones and jewels and may even have been painted. Many of these were produced by Hispanic artisans in the service of the Court of Toledo. The models with surfaces honeycomb decoration and divided in multicoloured cells demonstrate the importance of the so-called polychrome fashion throughout the Mediterranean basin during the 6th century A.D. In the III level of production of these buckles, which chronologically runs from around 525 to 560-580 A.D., a certain integration of the Visigoth classes with the Roman ones of the Iberian peninsula also had repercussions in the production of clothing items. The rectangular plate buckles of this period show an increasingly complex alveolar decoration, with various geometric and multicoloured shapes. This kind of buckles were mainly found in Spain, but also in Merovingian Gaul, considering that some regions of South France in 6th century (like the Septimania) were still under the control of the Western Goths with a mixed Germanic and Roman population.
