The magnificent ivory that we present below stands out for its meticulousness and careful details, given its small size, possibly the work of Chinese artisans in the Portuguese colonies of Macao at the end of the 17th century, it stands out for the drama and depth of its look, serene, resigned , looking at the ground, in acceptance of his destiny on the Cross as Redeemer of Humanity. Richly polychrome robes in ruby red and, topping off the set, a fine crown of thorns carved in ivory and polychrome in green. Documentation and CITES are attached at the buyer's request. Measurements: 11 x 5 x 3.5 cm. Reference literature: Gavin Bailey, Jean Michel Massing and Nuno Vassalo e Silva, “Marfins no Império Português”, p. 277.

Bourbon monarchs united France and part of the kingdom of Navarre in 1589, ruling both until the French Revolution of 1792. Restored briefly in 1814 and finally in 1815 after the fall of the First French Empire, the senior line of the Bourbons was overthrown again in the July Revolution of 1830. A cadet Bourbon branch, the House of Orléans, then ruled for 18 years (1830–1848), until it too was deposed.Louis Philippe Joseph, Duc de Orléans (1747–1793), known as 'Philippe Égalité' and Louise Marie Adélaïde Penthièvre (1753-1821) were married at the Palace of Versailles in 1769. At the time of their marriage, Marie Adélaïde was the wealthiest heiress in France. The couple were much in love and had three sons and twin daughters but during the Reign of Terror, the couple were torn apart and the fate of their family was cast into peril. After a long period in exile, their eldest child, Louis Philippe (1773-1850) would eventually become the penultimate monarch of France (1830-1848), but not before his two younger brothers contracted tuberculosis while imprisoned with their father at Fort-Saint-Jean in Marseille. Their father was guillotined in 1793 and their mother exiled to Spain. Louis Antoine (1775-1807) and Louis Charles (1779–1808) later died of their condition within a year of each other - Louis Antoine while in exile in England and Louis Charles while visiting Malta.Their sister, Françoise, died in 1782, aged four and was survived by her younger twin, Louise Marie Adélaïde Eugénie (1777–1847). Once King, Louis Philippe came to rely heavily on his sister's intelligence, wisdom and loyalty, consulting her daily on both family matters and affairs of state. Raised a liberal by her governess, 'Madame Adélaïde' supported the idea of a constitutional monarchy and a representative government. Louis Philippe's reign, known as the 'July Monarchy', was dominated by wealthy industrialists and bankers. He promoted friendship with Great Britain and sponsored colonial expansion, notably the French conquest of Algeria. His popularity faded as economic conditions in France deteriorated. Madame Adélaïde died two months before his abdication on 24th February 1848. Louis Philippe spent the remainder of his life in exile in England. His supporters were known as Orléanists.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Louis paid £500 in rent each year to the owner of the estate, Sir George Lee. As Prince Regent, the Prince of Wales (later George IV) was very charitable and granted the exiled Bourbons permanent right of asylum with extremely generous allowances.Queen Marie Joséphine died on 13th November 1810. Her funeral was a magnificent occasion attended by the Bourbon court-in-exile. The funeral cortege was followed by the British royal family and Marie Joséphine was laid to rest in Westminster Abbey. Her body was removed a year later on Louis's orders and today Marie Joséphine rests in Cagliari Cathedral in Sardinia, her monument inscribed 'Galliarum Regina' (Queen of the Gauls).After a failed invasion of Russia by Napoleon I in 1812, Louis XVIII issued a declaration from Hartwell, asserting that anyone who had served Napoleon or the Republic would not suffer any repercussions. After allied troops entered Paris on 31st March 1814, the French Senate invited Louis to resume the throne of France and Napoleon I abdicated on 11th April 1814.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

ANDERS GUSTAF ANDERSSON (SWEDISH 1780 - 1833)A miniature portrait of Admiral Ismael GibraltarWatercolour on ivory, 7.5 x 6.5cmIndistinctly signed and dated 1818Inscribed on a panel (partially cut) verso indistinctly 'Ism.., Killed at Navar (Navarino)'Ismael Gibraltar was an Ottoman admiral and emissary to Muhammad Ali, pasha and viceroy of Egypt. Active during the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829), Ali gave Gibraltar command of the Egyptian squadron which joined the fleet of Nasuhzade Ali Pasha.Before the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence, Gibraltar was sent on diplomatic missions as Ali’s representative. One of his missions took him to Sweden, which, though not officially documented, is likely to have been when Anders Gustaf Andersson (1780-1833) had the chance to create this portrait in 1818; another Swedish portraitist, Johan Gustaf Sandberg, also created a miniature portrait of Gibraltar between 1817-1819.Having trained and worked as a professional painter, Andersson had turned to miniature portrait painting five years into his painting career under the guidance of Lorentz Svensson Sparrgren. Influences from Domenico Bossi, an Italian miniature portraitist highly regarded in Sweden, are clearly visible in Andersson’s work.There is no verified account of Gibraltar’s death – it has been attributed both to disease and military encounters. The panel at the back of the portrait is inscribed faintly with ‘Killed in Navar’ which may refer to a naval engagement, the Battle of Navarino, which took place on 20th October 1827. This battle saw the decimation of Turkish and Egyptian troops by the Greeks who were allied with Britain, Russia, and France. As an Ottoman admiral, it is entirely plausible that Gibraltar was killed at this battle, however, no official record exists.Kitty Astor, 2023
