Pierre Courteys (French, 1520-1602): A Limoges en-grisaille enamelled bowl depicting the Laocoon and his childrenthe centre painted with the figure of the Laocoon flanked by his sons, writhing serpents entwined around the group, a harbour scene with temple to the background, the plinth beneath the group inscribed in gilt LAOCHOON and bearing indistinct date 1552?, within a gilt foliate interlaced border, the underside with four male maskheads within formalised paper scrolls and further gilt foliate scrolls, the bowl originally part of a pedestal cup or tazza, 20cm diameter, 5cm highFootnotes:ProvenanceProperty of a private Italian collectorLimoges in the south west region of France, has been world-famous for producing enamels for centuries. Originating in the 12th century, the industry of decorating metal objects, usually in bronze and brass (and mostly made for ecclesiastical purposes) in champleve coloured enamels, thrived until circa 1370 when a swift decline meant that these precious manufacturing skills were almost lost. However, in the late 15th century the production of enamel returned to the region but with a move to producing more secular objects. With this revival came new techniques including painting the decoration directly onto the enamel rather than gouging out designs then flooding them with enamel. Several notable French workshops emerged with their own distinctive styles who would, in some cases, also sign or punch mark their work. Usually depicting mythological or religious narratives, these wares, often plates, chargers or plaques, became highly prized objects.Perhaps one of the best enamel painters of Limoges, Courteys was probably a disciple of Pierre Reymond working from circa 1550-1568. Courteys is thought to have died in 1602 and many of his works are now in the Louvre in Paris.LiteratureSuzanne.

Lot 25
A Sterling Silver Rolls-Royce Cigarette Box, Christmas 1928,hallmarked, London by Saunders and Shepherd Ltd, the front panel of the lid engraved J. F. L., the top of the lid acid etched with Spirit of Ecstasy profile and her shadow under glass, lined with boxwood interior, 17cm wide. Footnotes:The Rolls-Royce desk set. Sterling Silver Objets de Bureau commissioned by Rolls-Royce Motors 1926-1937.It is reasonable to argue that few companies in the automotive world have a richer corporate heritage than Rolls-Royce Motors, whose legendary 'Spirit of Ecstasy' mascot was created in 1911 by the renowned British sculptor Charles Sykes R.A. (1875 - 1950). The Spirit of Ecstasy mascot has now adorned Rolls-Royce automobiles for over 109 years and is one of the world's most readily identified images. In 1926, following the successful introduction of their New Phantom model (later known as the Phantom I), the Directors of Rolls-Royce Motors decided to commission a Christmas gift, to be produced in a small quantity. The piece in question was a cigar ashtray of conventional circular form, surmounted by a reduced size Spirit of Ecstasy, the whole in Sterling silver. A small number of these ashtrays were presented by Rolls-Royce as Christmas gifts that year. The fortunate recipients of the ashtray were evidently highly delighted with their gifts, and Rolls-Royce decided to commission another piece - a desk clock - for presentation the following year. This, too, was very well received, and so the 'tradition' of commissioning a different piece each year evolved.With the exception of 1931, each of the following years, until 1937, saw the creation of a different piece, always in Sterling silver and always incorporating the Spirit of Ecstasy as its decorative theme or inspiration. It is thought that no piece was commissioned in 1931 due to Rolls-Royce's acquisition of Bentley Motors that year, and the economic depression prevailing at the time.Rolls-Royce chose the London silversmiths Messrs. Saunders and Shepherd as manufacturers, and all the pieces, with the exception of the ashtray which was made by Crown jewellers Garrard of Regent Street, bear Saunders and Shepherd's hallmark and year letter from the London Assay Office.The pieces which comprise the 'Desk Set' were never available for sale - they were strictly the gift of the Company and as such were presented only to those considered particularly important by Rolls-Royce Motors.Pieces from the Desk Set appear very infrequently on the market and are prized by collectors and enthusiasts of the marque. Some of the pieces such as the Cigar Ashtray are for whatever reason, more easily found than others, such as the Rose Bowl for 1936, of which only three examples have 'surfaced ' since 1979. A full set comprises:- 1926 ashtray, 1927 desk clock, 1928 cigarette box, 1929 inkwell, 1930 bon-bon dish, 1931 (no gifts were issued in 1931 due to the acquisition of Bentley Motors and financial recession), 1932 ink blotter, 1933 desk barometer, 1934 desk lighter, 1935 salver, 1936 rose bowl and 1937 bookends. Little is recorded about the production of the desk lamp and very few examples exist, but is it known that the 1938 desk lamps were not presented as Christmas gifts.Recipients of desk sets included Clyde Automobiles of Glasgow, Watson of Liverpool, Cockshoot of Manchester, Rippon Bros of Huddersfield, Car Mart of London, Roltes of Maidstone and Croal of Edinburgh.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
