A RARE PAIR OF PRESSED HORN RELIEF PORTRAITS BY JOHN OSBORN (1581/4-1634) DATED 1626 Depicting Henry, Prince of Orange, and Princess Amelia of Orange in profile- opposing each other, reverse with raised title and inscriptions 'FRED. HENRICUS. D.G. PRINCEPS AVRIACÆ COMES NASSOVIA ETC. JOH OSBORN. ANGL AMSTEROD. FECIT 1626' and 'AMALIA D.G PRINCEPS AVRIACÆ ETC 1626 JOH OSBORN ANGL AMSTEROD FECIT 1626', ebonised frames, trace of old printed label to reverse the horn panels approximately 15cm high, the frames 20cm high Provenance: Private Collection Literature: L. Forrer, Biographical dictionary of medallists; coin, gem, and seal-engravers, mint-masters, ancient and modern, with references to their works B.C. 500-A.D. 1900, London 1904. These rare portraits were made by the Worcestershire born leather, whalebone and horn craftsman John Osborn. After 20 or so years in England he emigrated to Amsterdam where he plied his trade producing tokens, medallions and portraits such as these. Given the fragile nature few seem to have survived. However a comparable pair of portraits from the same date are held in the British Museum Collections (OA-4594 & 1889-0706-1). In Forer's biography the British Museum pair are described: "The busts of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, and his wife Amelia seem to have been executed by John Osborn expressly for impressing horn. They are also found in bronze and lead, but both materials show traces of being cast from originals in horn, and not struck directly from the die. They are evidently the work of a practised hand, both as portraits and as examples of medallic art, and they can fairly take rank with the many grand portraits by Dutch artists of the same period." Condition Report: With wear, marks, knocks and scratches as per age, handling, use, and cleaning. Some rubbing to raised elements notably noses and eyebrows of each, natural shrinkage with some vertical lines visible notably above left of his head. Reverse with wear and chips around margins but this looks to be possibly from original handling and construction. Surface dirt throughout and quite coarse gluing into frames- he is starting to work loose form his frame and could do with regluing Please see additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.

VICTORIEN-ANTOINE BASTET (1852-1905), A TERRACOTTA BUST OF A YOUNG GIRL DATED 1881 Signed to reverse Bastet Paris 1881 61cm high, 47cm wide The son of a peasant family from the Vaucluse, as a child Bastet was a shepherd boy and it was only at the age of nineteen that he went to Avignon to study at the Ecole de Dessin.

Montgomeryshire, whom he married on 17 June 1781 at St. Olaves Church, Chester. Edward was the son of Henshaw Thornycroft of Thornycroft (1713-1780). Provenance: Lot 49, Christie's, London, 15 May 1939, The late Percival D. Griffiths, removed from Sandridgebury, St. Albans. Footnotes: Augustine Courtauld (1686-1751) was the son of a Huguenot refugee who had fled to England from the small town of St. Pierre in the Ile d’Oleron following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, which left Protestants facing persecution in France. Augustine served a seven-year apprenticeship with the Huguenot goldsmith, Simon Pantin (who had himself trained under the renowned Huguenot goldsmith, Pierre Harache) before being made free in 1708.In his introduction to ‘Some Silver Wrought by the Courtauld family of London Goldsmiths in the Eighteenth Century’, E. A. Jones describes Augustine Courtauld as ‘a craftsman capable of doing fine work, not inferior to that of the much lauded Paul de Lamerie, as may be proved by the plate described an illustrated in this book’. The same book goes on to illustrate this 1732-33 salver (Plate XXXIII), describing it as ‘an impressive salver, 195/8 inches in diameter, chased on the border with ornament attributed to Hogarth but executed in 1732-3, some years after he has abandoned the minor art of engraving silver for higher forms of art’. Augustine Courtauld is known to have made a number of trays and salvers, with Jones explaining that ‘the making and application of the complex, shaped borders called for the highest technical skill’.Augustine Courtauld was working at a time when the goldsmithing trade was flourishing in England, with business buoyed by increasing prosperity and a desire to invest wealth in silver. According to Jones, the standard of workmanship achieved during this century has 'never been surpassed' and it is interesting to note that many of the most important works of silver were produced by Huguenot craftsmen in the first quarter of the 18th century.Works by Augustine Courtauld were acquired by numerous important and wealthy patrons, including Empress Elizabeth of Russia and Empress Catherine I of Russia. One of his significant works, The State Salt of the Corp. of the City of London is on display at Mansion House. EngravingIn her book, A Century of Silver by the Courtauld Family of Silversmiths, Helen Braham notes that the engraving on several works by Augustine Courtauld has been attributed to Joseph Sympson, whose career (1710-1747) coincided with Augustine's. She writes that 'two engravers named Joseph Sympson, presumably father and son, were among the early members of the St Martin's Lane Academy, a centre of crucial artistic importance, founded in 1720; their workshop was evidently soon employed by some of the most prominent silversmiths of the day'. She goes on to highlight the challenges associated with attributing work to individual engravers as 'designs in pattern books were available to all, and reproduction was possible from paper transfers and from 'pulls' from existing engravings'.For a salver with engraving by William Hogarth in the Victoria and Albert Museum please see: The Walpole Salver, by Paul de Lamerie, London, 1728-1729, accession number M.9-1956. Link: https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O7768/the-walpole-salver-salver-paul-de-lamerie/ . The production notes for this salver on the website of the V&A Museum state that 'When John Nichols published Biographical Anecdotes of William Hogarth (1781) he listed a pull from this [Walpole] salver [...] more recently both Oman (1978) and Paulson (1970 and 1971) have argued forcibly for accepting Nichols' evidence. In January 1714, William Hogarth was apprenticed through the Merchant Taylor's Company to the goldsmith, Ellis Gamble, as an engraver, for whom he later engraved a tradecard (ca. 1724). From 1720 when Hogarth set up shop, he spent a decade supporting himself as a jobbing engraver, engraving both silver and copper plates .... Apart from shopcards, he presumably worked for whichever goldsmith sent him orders; a single impression of Lamerie's own arms in the Royal Library is attributed to Hogarth and he engraved arms on silver for various clients, including the Duchess of Kendal, mistress of George I.'The salver in our sale by Augustine Courtauld was hallmarked in 1732, a little after the 'decade supporting himself as a jobbing engraver' but E. A. Jones writes in the introduction to Some Silver Wrought by the Courtauld Family of London Goldsmiths in the Eighteenth Century that this 1732-33 salver is 'chased on the border with ornament attributed to Hogarth but executed in 1732-3, some years after he has abandoned the minor art of engraving silver for higher forms of art’.

German, c.1960, Zeiss, including main stag/stand, 2 Tessovar heads, lamps and other attachments The Carl Zeiss Tessovar is a microscope for photomacrography and macro photography. Its accuracy and flexibility made it invaluable in research, especially in the natural and biomedical sciences.Introduced in the 1960s and 1970s, the Tessovar was designed with two key purposes in mind in West Germany. By the 1980s, a four-objective turret version was developed, expanding its magnification capabilities. Though rare on the second-hand market, it remains highly sought after.Although it resembles a stereo microscope, the Tessovar is actually a parfocal zoom lens optimized for macro photography. It provides a magnification range of 0.4x to 12.8x when using 35 mm film. A four-position nosepiece allows smooth zoom adjustments with auxiliary lenses (0.25x, 0.5x, and 2x).Made from sturdy metal, the Tessovar weighs 1.8 kg, offering stability. It features dual zoom control knobs and an aperture ring that ensures consistent exposure—a significant advantage before the digital era. Its compatibility with Zeiss microscope accessories further enhances its versatility.Practical Uses:Scientific Research: High-resolution imaging supports taxonomy, morphology, and biological studies.Forensic Analysis: Captures minute details crucial for investigations.Industrial Inspection: Helps detect defects in small components during quality control.Education: A valuable tool for studying entomology, botany, and microscopy.
