An interesting late 17th/early 18th century gilt-metal mounted ruby glass bottle vase, probably German or BohemianMounted with a portrait medallion of Elizabeth I (1533-1603)The flattened ovoid body with tall slender neck, mounted with gilt-metal sections linked by hinges, variously modelled with open foliate arabesques, satyr and angel masks, the shoulders again mounted with satyr masks hung with chains, on a circular domed pierced and moulded foot with Bacchus masks, with stopper, the back centred by a plain oval white enamel medallion within a laurel wreath, the front mounted with an oval gold-coloured royal portrait medallion of Elizabeth I, modelled wearing a high crown, pendant necklace, open ruff, jewelled gown with puffed-sleeves, holding a sceptre and orb, inscribed to the edge 'DITIOR . IN . TOTO . NON . ALTER . CIRCVLVS . ORBE' (no other circle in the whole world more rich), 22.5cm wide x 12cm deep x 42.5cm high, (8 1/2in wide x 4 1/2in deep x 16 1/2in high)Footnotes:Coloured glass vessels with gilt-metal mounts are traditionally attributed to Venice. See for example vases and bowls in the James De Rothschild Collection, Waddeson Manor, Buckinghamshire, discussed and illustrated in the collection catalogue by R. J. Charleston and Michael Archer, Glass and Stained Glass (1977), pp. 21-25, cat. nos. 29-35. The colours are normally green or blue. The unusual use of ruby glass for this Lot suggests a different country of origin, with Bohemia or German the most likely places. See for example a mid-18th century ruby glass bottle vase of similar size and with gilt-metal foot in the British Museum Collection, (item no. 1851, 0909.3), donated in the mid-19th century by Felix Slade as a Venetian example and now attributed to Germany. As to why this fine glass vase is mounted with a medallion of an English monarch currently remains a mystery. A similar medal is in the collection of the British Museum (item no. 1866,1218.1), designed by Nicholas Hilliard (1547-1619). The front is of virtual identical design, with the reverse also decorated, with a bay-tree protected by lightning and winds, flourishing upon an island. On the island are buildings and in the sea monsters, with three ships in the distance, all within a floral border. These medals were struck in 1589, to commemorate Victory over the Spanish Armada and probably served as presents from the Queen to her favourites.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.
A James I joined oak panel-back 'caqueteuse' open armchair, Salisbury, circa 1625Having a distinctive semi-circular cresting with chain carving and integral to the lunette-carved top rail, the back panel fully carved with a large flowerhead roundel, the back uprights stiff-leaf carved, the robust scroll-ended arms on columnar-turned front supports, a single-piece trapezium-shaped seat with ovolo edge, with chain-carved seat rails, and columnar-turned front legs joined all round by plain stretchers, 65cm wide x 45cm deep x 104cm high, (25 1/2in wide x 17 1/2in deep x 40 1/2in high)Footnotes:Caqueteuse armchairs, exemplified by a wide trapezoidal seat, first appeared in France and became the standard form of armchair in Scotland during a period of French influence under the reign of Mary Stuart (Queen 1542-1567, d. 1587). However, English armchairs of this form are extremely rare and attributed to only one region, Salisbury. English caqueteuse armchairs mainly have crooked arms, although comparable Salisbury armchairs with straight arms are known; see for instance, a chair attributed to the Humphrey Beckham workshop in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow (item no. 14.68).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.
