A carved greyish chalcedony cockerel, circa 1905, in the Russian style, the cockerel with finely carved plumage and features and set with rose cut diamond eyes, the gold legs and claws standing on an ivory base, measuring 5.6cm x 7cm. In the original fitted green leather and gilt tooled Cartier Paris and 4 Burlington Street, London presentation case, dated 1906-1909. Following the success of Cartier's shop at 13 rue de la Paix and the introduction of the garland style (see lot 232), Louis Cartier was joined in 1906 by his brothers Pierre and Jaques. All three brothers were given their own areas to manage, and Jaques went to London where Edward VII was instrumental in persuading him to open the First Cartier boutique in Britain at 4 Burlington Street in 1906. Cartier were keen not only to be innovators in the world of fine jewels, but also keen to supply the most fashionable bibelots to their growing important and wealthy clientele. They had seen the success of Fabergé's hardstone animals (see Lots 323-331 inclusive), and began to sell similar animals. At first Pierre Cartier sourced hardstone animals in Russia, buying them from jewellers such as Ovchinnikov and the lapidaries Svietchnikov in Moscow, and Woerffel in St Petersburg, but soon Cartier increasingly used Parisian workshops such as that of Berquin-Varangoz. It is extremely difficult to ascertain whether Fabergé or Cartier sold a particular animal, as they were often sourced from the same Russian suppliers, and are never signed, unless gold or silver mounted. Indeed one of the only means of ascribing an animal to either house is by the existence of the original fitted case, such as the lot offered here. Literature: Nadelhoffer H., 'Cartier', London 1984.

George Engleheart (1750-1829): Portrait of Mr Wigston, with powdered grey hair, blue eyes, wearing a blue coat against a cloudy sky background, oval, on ivory, 7.2cm in a gold frame with hair locket on the reverse, ring for suspension * A Mr Wigston is listed for the year 1786 in the "List of the Persons who sat to George Englehart from 1775-1813 ...", in {George Englehart 1750-1829, Miniature Painter to George III by George C Williamson and Henry L D Englehart, 1902}. The vendors of this miniature also sold a Waterloo medal through our sales. The medal was in the name of Capt. Richard H Wigston, 3rd Regiment of Foot Guards (2nd Batallion). Capt Wigston is mentioned on the Waterloo Roll and was on duty on the day of the battle in Waterloo village on baggage protection. The early date of this miniature, and anticipating that a Captain was probably in his 20's in 1811 may suggest that the sitter might have been the father of the medal winner.
