‡ PROPERTY FROM AN INSTITUTIONAL COLLECTION A FINE AND EXCEPTIONALLY RARE NORTH GERMAN PARADE CUIRASS WITH EMBOSSED AND CHASED DECORATION, LATE 16TH CENTURY, PROBABLY BRUNSWICK formed of steel borders overlain with gilt brass, its breastplate, of |peascod| fashion, constructed of two plates joined medially by a riveted overlap (the left plate patched at its outer edge), and fitted within its later-cut lower edge with a moderately deep waist-flange added during early working life, its backplate, connected to the breastplate by shoulder-straps (the left lost and the right incomplete) and a waist-belt covered with crimson velvet, constructed like the latter of two medially-overlapped plates and fitted within its later-cut lower edge with a short culet added, like the fauld, during early working life; both elements formed at their main edges with file-roped inward turns and embossed overall in low relief and chased between vertical bands of stylised scallops, with panels of classical ornament, involving the allegorical figures of the Cardinal virtues comprising Prudence, Justice, Fortitude as the figure of Hercules with the pillars of Samson, Temperance, and David facing Goliath, various warriors, female figures, trophies-of-arms and masks amid scrolling foliage, all on a stippled ground, the overlays of the fauld and culet in each case engraved with running asymmetrical foliage occupied by stippling; both elements fitted internally with linings of tow quilted between layers of canvas and crimson velvet in lozenge-shaped panels, and decorated around their scalloped edges (partly detached at the lower right edge of the breastplate) with braided cord of silver-gilt wire 44.0 cm; 17 3/8 in high Provenance Sotheby~s New York, 25th November 1986, lot 505 The use of brass in the manufacture of arms and armour in Brunswick and nearby Wolfenbûttel is well documented in the reign of Julius, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbûttel (1528-1568-1590) (See von Rohr 1989, parts 1 & 2, pp. 110-16). Among the one hundred or so items of brass listed as being sold from the ducal manufactory at Wolfenbûttel around 1580-90 was |a short brass armour for use on horseback and foot, with shaffron and crinet| (Rohr 1989, p. 110). In 1577 the Duke had ordered Landsknecht armours of brass for mounted use with shaffrons and crinets, from the Brunswick armourer Wulf Gabriel, then serving, in the period 1572 to 1581, as |Ducal body-armour-maker| in the arsenal at Wolfenbûttel (ibid., p. 110 ). Earlier, in 1572, the Brunswick armourer Peter Philipp had received from the Duke an order for fifty-five brass armours equipped with matching burgonets and morions (ibid., p. 110). A brass burgonet of the period is preserved in the Städtishes Museum, Brunswick, Cma No. 3 (ibid., p. 111, fig. 1). Mention is to be found, moreover, in the series of records cited above, of a purchase from the Helmstedt goldsmith Witte of seventy embossed brass burgonets (ibid., p. 110). A coin of 1576 shows Duke Julius wearing a burgonet with just such decoration (ibid., p. 113-14, fig. 5). Of particular significance in the present context is a circular shield or target in the Royal Armouries, Leeds, Inv. No. V. 53, bearing the date 1579, which like the cuirass under discussion is formed of two pieces of steel joined medially, overlain with brass and decorated with embossing and chasing on a stippled ground (Rohr 1989, p. 113, fig. 4; and Stadt im Wandel, Landesmuseum (Vieweghaus), Brunswick, Vol. 2, 1985, p. 769, cat. no. 681). The decoration of the two pieces is strikingly similar both in regard to design and execution, with the labours of Hercules and his pillars featuring in both. References to armour of brass or copper occur with some frequency in Brunswick records of the 1580s and ~90s (ibid., p, 112). They were still to be found in inventories of the ducal armoury at Wolfenbûttel in the following decades. One of 1667 mentions a brass armour extending to the knees, a fore- and hind-piece with arms of copper, and |88 yellow burgonets with embossed work| (ibid., p. 113). A later inventory of 1732 refers to a complete armour of brass of Duke Julius mounted on a black horse of wood; mentioned again in a sale-catalogue of 1789 (ibid., p. 113). The inventory of 1732 notes that there were then also to be found in the Julius Cabinet of the armoury, |6 German flat guns, their barrels etched, with full brass stocks, the figures on the stocks finely embossed.| (ibid., p. 113). Several guns and pistols of about 1575-85, bearing the monograms and devices of Duke Julius, have their stocks of sheet-brass embossed with decoration of the same character as that found on the cuirass under discussion (Rohr 1989, pp. 11-12, figs, 2 -3; Stadt im Wandel, 1985, Vol. 2, pp. 760-1, cat. nos. 671-3; and Wolfgang Glage, Das Kunstwerk der Bûchsenmacher in Land Landesmuseum, Brunswick, 1987, pp. 47-57). Their embossing shows the same very distinctive stippled ground as that of the cuirass under discussion. Pistols of the group can be recorded in the Landesmusmuseum, Brunswick, the Kestner Museum, Hanover (WMI. 227), the collection of Her Majesty the Queen, Windsor Castle, (RCIN 61967), and the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, Inv. No. XII.1076; while the much rarer guns of the group can be recorded in Herzog Anton-Ulrich Museum, Brunswick (Inv. No. Waf.1), and the Tøjhusmuseet Copenhagen (Inv. Nos B70 and B71). Similar embossed ornament is to be seen on Brunswick patrons and powder-flasks of the same period. A powder flask can be recorded in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Acc. No. 2014.214); while patrons can be recorded in the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds (Inv. No. XIII.37), and the former Hanoverian Royal Collection, sold Sotheby~s, Hildesheim, 5 October 2005, lots 335-342. A further example was sold in this room 8th December 2010, lot 360.

[GP] A VERY RARE ENGLISH ENAMELLED AND GILT COPPER-ALLOY CIRCULAR PLAQUE, LONDON, CIRCA 1660-70, WORKSHOP OF STEPHEN PILCHERD, PROBABLY FOR THE ROYAL COACH OF CHARLES II cast in one piece, the outer face decorated in high relief with the royal initials ~CIIR~, the full crested mantled Royal arms enclosed by the Most Noble Order of the Garter with supporters and motto, on a ground of scrolling foliage with a pair of flowers at the base and a frame of conventional foliage and fruit, all enriched with blue and white enamel and the arms with further red enamel, pierced with a pair of stitch-holes on each side at the top, for attaching a lining-strap, fitted with original hinged bracket, its lower half integral to the casting, and the outer surface with much early bright gilding 15.5 cm; 6 in diameter The high quality styling and finish of the relief ornament are distinctive within the recorded examples which comprise this school of work. Augmented by the particularly bright tones of both the gilding and of the predominant enamels, this armorial plaque compares very closely with a pair of massive firedogs in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no. 868 & 868A-1901). See Blair and Patterson, 2005, p.3, fig.2 and 2006, p.14. Shortly after the Restoration of The Monarchy in 1660, the Royal Wardrobe accounts on 25th March 1661, relating to works on the refurbishment of the royal coaches, record a payment to the royalist brasier Stephen Pilcherd (d.1670) for ~.....making enamelling and gilding our Armes in foure large and eight smaller pieces of brasse.....~. It has been suggested that the smaller plaques include those preserved in the Royal Collection (RCIN 62105), the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no. 4920-1901) and two further examples illustrated by Sir James Mann in Country Life 1943 now made into a flask. The smaller plaques are around three quarters the size of the present example. The decoration is strikingly similar, thus presenting a very strong case for it being the only extant larger plaque from the commission. See Blair and Patterson, Ibid., pp. 2-9 and 2006, 10-21. Part proceeds to benefit The Grange Festival

A Roman green glass grape amphoriskos Western Empire, circa 2nd-3rd Century A.D.The body mould blown in the form of a naturalistic bunch of grapes, with two vine leaves at the shoulder, with cylindrical neck, everted lip and trail handles, 13cm highFootnotes:Provenance:Arpot Wilma collection, Maastricht. with Harmakhis Archeologie, Brussels, March 2018.Mould blown vessels in the form of bunches of grapes were made both in the Eastern and Western parts of the Roman Empire, but bottles found in the west usually have two handles while those in the east have none. This type of two-handled mould-blown flask decorated with a realistic bunch of grapes is more typical of production in the western part of the Roman Empire and, more specifically, Gaul and Germania, with Cologne as one of several different possible sources. As a grape-flask this lot belongs to Isings' Form 91a although here the form of the bunch of grapes is more trilobed than piriform, and with a vestigial leaf to each side (C. Isings, Roman Glass from Dated Finds, Groningen/Djakarta, 1957, pp. 108-9). For a longer discussion around a group of these grape-flasks with looped handles found in the vicinity of Poitiers, cf. D. Simon-Hiernard, Verres d'époque romaine. Collection des Musées de Poitiers, Poitiers, 2000, pp. 363-70. Other examples include a similarly-coloured darker green two-handled flask from a tomb in the necropolis at Épiais-Rhus dated to the second half of the 2nd Century (N. Vanpeene, Verrerie de la Nécropole d'Épiais-Rhus (Val-d'Oise), Guiry-en-Vexin, 1993, pp. 40-1, no. 042, illus. front cover) and a colourless example from Arles (D. Foy, Les verres antiques d'Arles, la collection du Musée départmental Arles antique, Paris, 2010, pp. 286-7, no. 509). Although very rare as a type, these grape-flasks are well-known and much desired by collectors as the first example was found in 1770 in a mid-2nd to early 3rd Century sarcophagus in the rue de la Tranchée in Poitiers. Furthermore, this example is similarly decorated like the Bonham's example, with a representation of a vine leaf at the top in the middle of both sides, rather than on the edges. The Bonhams' example is a more restrained version, where the body resembles more the bunch of grapes found on footed examples (Isings Form 91b, ibid. p. 109) from Cologne, and the handles are more simple, without the additional loops at the top.
