A COLLECTIBLE LAPIS LAZULI AND GOLD 'ALHAMBRA' SAUTOIR NECKLACE, BY VAN CLEEF & ARPELS, CIRCA 1980Composed of twenty quatrefoil-shaped lapis lazuli links within beaded gold frames, connected by hammered trace-link chain, mounted in 18K yellow gold, signed VCA, numbered B4050L138, with maker's marks 'Sté RW' for Georges Richards and Wildenstein, French assay marks, with maker's pouch and outer box, length 81cmGeorges Richards and Wildenstein were Parisian workshops who worked for Van Cleef & Arpels, amongst others, mark used at least during the 70s and 80s.In 1968 Van Cleef & Arpel’s iconic four-leaf clover sautoir known as ‘Alhambra’ debuted to the world. The symbol of luck, has become an immediately recognisable signature of the renowned jewellery house and it is probably the most easily wearable piece of high jewellery in existence. Although the use of flowers and clovers occurred often prior to the creation of the Alhambra, the simple line of the sautoir signalled a defining moment in style history both for Van Cleef & Arpels and for high jewellery in general.Delicate, sophisticated, and effortlessly stylish, the subtle yellow gold chain plays host to a series of yellow gold beaded silhouettes, each gently framing a selection of nature’s finest and most precious materials from white and grey mother-of-pearl, to malachite, carnelian, lapis lazuli, ivory and coral or, as exemplified here, all gold. It is an embodiment of the skilled lapidaries, jewellers, stone-setters and polishers whose craft makes the Alhambra so effortless and fluid.While the Alhambra has had many patrons, none has been more illustrious than the beautiful Princess Grace, or Grace Kelly as she was previously known. Although as a favoured muse of the house, she owned a virtual treasure trove of gems by Van Cleef & Arpels, her everyday jewellery box contained three Alhambra sautoirs. One in malachite, one in tortoiseshell and one in coral. Interestingly, the malachite edition was limited to only 100 pieces due to the rarity of the material. Each of these is numbered and can still be identified today.Van Cleef & Arpels continue to create and renew the Alhambra as time goes. However, none are more coveted than the original first collection from 1968.Please note that this lot contains coral and mother-of-pearl and is subject to CITES regulations when exporting outside of the EUCondition Report: Numbered B4050L138Maker's mark 'Sté RW' for Georges Richards and Wildenstein located on one quatroil frame with number and one on clasp,Eagle's head for French 18K gold located on various locations near claspNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 46.8g

It’s origins were in the production of specialised handmade gold chains, often for use in pocket watches. As tastes changed the company also adapted and in the 20th century they began to design high quality bracelets for wristwatches. Their work was sought after by many high-end watch brands, such as Patek Phillippe, Vacheron and Rolex, the latter of which bought the company in 1998. Up to that point Gay Frères had remained a strongly family associated brand, with descendants of Jean-Pierre, brothers Jacques Hubert and Jean-Francois Gay running the company in the 1970s.Despite the horology led focus of the brand, their output has always included beautiful examples of artisan jewellery. The work they made in the 1960s and 70s is highly sought after by collectors in the current market. Their expertise in making complex chains and cuffs combined with a strong understanding and craftsmanship in working with gems and precious stones, made them highly sought after by houses such as Van Cleef & Arpels and Hermès. Their designs also incorporate different materials such as ebony and ivory as well as employing the decorative technique of enamelling.This dual aspect of their work has been an important trademark of the company and has ensured their continued relevance and success in the world of fine jewellery.Condition Report: Clasp secure - twist mechanism to openNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 73.30g

The MacMurrough Kavanagh Charter Horn This high-quality ceremonial Drinking Cup, in bog oak and brass, is a 19th century replica of the MacMurrough Kavanagh Charter Horn. The original, a 12th century drinking vessel, housed in a large ivory tusk (the body of which has been faceted to create 16 sides) and supported on a 15th century brass stand, is on display at the National Museum of Ireland. The brass stand, with clawed and webbed bird’s feet, was believed to have been added during the reign of Art Mór Mac Murchada (1357-1416). During his 42 year reign as King of Leinster, Art Mór Mac Murchada is best remembered for defying Richard II’s attempts to have him removed from power. The stand and rim transformed what was once probably a hunting horn, into a 52.5cm long ceremonial cup and it is believed that this cup was used during inauguration rituals. These overall ensemble is comparable to Scandinavian drinking horns from the same period. These 15th century alterations were signed by the maker, Tigurnanius O Lavan in a band of text which surrounds the top of the vessel. This epigraph, in black Gothic script, on a hatched background, reads ‘Tigurnanius O Lavan Me Fecit Deo Gracia Ihc’, (which translates as ‘Tiguranius O'Lavan made me for the love of God’). The 1818 Kavanagh pedigree book, housed at Borris House, details how the charter horn acted as the tenure by which the Kavanagh family held certain estates. The original charter horn was loaned to Trinity College Dublin by Thomas Kavanagh of Borris House, Co. Carlow in 1783. General Charles Vallancey had an engraving made of the cup; an engraving, attributed to Gabriel Beranger (1729-1817) that later appeared in Vallancey’s 1786 Collectanea de Rebus Hibernicis. The charter horn, which remains in Kavanagh ownership, was returned to Borris House in 1886 and remained there until deposited at the National Museum of Ireland for safe keeping in 1976. The original, is the only piece of Irish regalia to have survived from the medieval period of regional kingships. The Kavanagh family at Borris are directly descended from Diarmait Mac Murchada’s (Diarmuid MacMurrough) son Domhnall Caomhánach. MacLeod, writing in 1959, claims that the Kavanagh Charter horn was gifted by ‘King Henry II to Donal Kavanagh, the son of Dermot MacMurrough in 1175’. There are only two other known copies of the charter horn, one a large mid nineteenth century example commissioned and gifted to Arthur MacMurrough Kavanagh MP by a friend and colleague, and the second, a 19th century version in bog oak and brass (of slightly smaller proportions to the one on offer). Both of these copies are in the Kavanagh collection at Borris. Mr. Edmund Joyce, 2022
