A large 18ct gold cigarette case by Louis Osman, 1973, of hinged slightly rounded rectangular form and plain polished finish, with slide action, hallmarked for London 1973, with maker’s mark ‘LO’, in original fitted cork travelling case, dimensions approximately 183 x 41 x 15mm. £18,000-£20,000 Please note ARR will apply to this lot (Artist’s Resale Rights). --- This case was commissioned in 1971 from Louis by Mrs Jenkins as a surprise Christmas gift for her husband Maurice. The case was made especially to accommodate 24 Benson & Hedges kingsize cigarettes, as favoured by Mr Jenkins. This commission gives a clear demonstration of Louis’ attention to detail; he wrote to Benson & Hedges to seek confirmation (which he received) that the dimensions of this particular cigarette would not be changing before finalising the design. Louis designed the case to resemble a seamless block of gold with no visible clasp to open it, but this simplicity was deceptive; the sliding mechanism was technically very complicated. Initially there were some issues achieving the smooth slide action; as a result the case was remade in 1973. Since this final repair the case’s smooth slide action has remained fully operational. “[Louis’] gold pieces show the softness and richness of this lovely metal, so often hidden nowadays beneath a hard commercial shine. Louis finds gold inspiring: he chooses the colours of his alloys, the organises his hammering and hand burnishing and strong shapes all with the same aim: to allow this noble metal to be itself.” Graham Hughes, Art Director of the Goldsmiths’ Company 1951 - 1980.

A diamond set ribbon brooch by Kutchinsky, the sculptural ribbon with fluted bands and textured finish, centred with a brilliant-cut diamond cluster, signed ‘Kutchinsky’, maker’s mark, stamped ‘750’, total diamond weight approximately 1.45 carats, length 5cm. £1,500-£2,000 --- In the 1890s the Kutchinsky family fled from Poland to England, where they set up a jewellery manufacturing company in London’s East End. They brought with them centuries of experience in the jewellery trade, having been, at one time, jewellers to the court of Ludwig of Bavaria. In 1928, 14 year old Joe Kutchinsky joined the family business and, already an experienced diamond polisher, began to work his way up the ranks. By 1958 he was running the company and he moved the business out of the trade-dominated East End and into the prestigious shopping street of Brompton Road, Knightsbridge. Joe set up his desk in the saleroom itself, where he could usually be seen enjoying puffing on a large cigar. Service was of real importance to Joe and he claimed “We can be very flexible and offer a real service – the impossible we always say just takes five minutes longer.” During the Second World War, the British public had been starved of luxuries. In the decades that followed, as the economy recovered, jewellers such as Kutchinsky were greeted with enthusiasm. The jewellery produced by Kutchinsky through the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s typifies the era’s enthusiasm for bold, ostentatious yet whimsical designs, produced to the very highest of standards. In the early 1990s the firm was purchased by another important London jeweller, Moussaieff Jewellers of Bond Street. There remains a Kutchinsky store on the Old Brompton Road to this day.
