After C. Cajander (19th Century)Portrait of Georg August Wallin charcoal and white chalk36.5 x 27cm (14 3/8 x 10 5/8in).Footnotes:Georg August Wallin, the Finnish Orientalist, first travelled to the Middle East in 1843 and continued exploring the area as well as Egypt until 1849. His interest in the area began at university in Helsinki where he studied Oriental languages and literature, an education which was supplemented by a move to St Petersburg in 1840 to further study the language and culture of the Orient under the guidance of Sheikh Muhammad Ayyad al-Tantawi.Wallin received great acclaim for the written accounts of his travels including being presented with the prestigious Founder's Medal by the Royal Geographical Society for his significant contribution to oriental research in 1851. D.G. Hogarth, paying tribute to Wallin in his Penetration of Arabia writes: 'One recognises in him, perhaps for the first time in the history of Arabian discovery, a scientific explorer of the best modern type, thoroughly prepared, and determined to leave nothing for the man who might come after him. His assumption of an eastern character seems to have been perfect; but his observation of the scenery and society about him was in no way inspired by it; and the minute accuracy of his report, as attested by the comparison of the narratives of later travellers, argues that he took most copious notes without let or hindrance, save only in the fanatic company of the Persian pilgrims to the Holy Cities.'This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Prunkvolle, seltene Dielendekoration eines Pfaus mit prächtigem Federrad. Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse, Choisy-le-Roi. Stempelmarke mit Zusatz "France". Ende 19. Jh. Am Sockel bezeichnet "Louis Carrier Belleuse". Modell-Nr. 1704 12 99 PIM. Entwurf: Louis-Robert CARRIER-BELLEUSE (1848-1913 Paris).Majolika, farbig staffiert. H 80 cm. 21,4 kg. Monumentale Plastik eines männlichen Pfauen mit aufgefächerten Schwanzfedern, auf Natursockel mit Schale. Federrad teils restauriert, 3 Federn bestoßen.Choisy-le-Roi gehört seit etwa 1804 zu den bedeutenden Zentren der französischen Keramik-Herstellung. Im Jahr 1836 übernahmen Louis Boulenger (1773-1850) und Hippolyte Hautin die Leitung der dortigen Fayence-Manufaktur. Ihre Kinder Adolphe Boulenger (1805-1873) und Alexandrine Hautin (1814-1900) heirateten und bekamen 4 Kinder, darunter Hippolyte Boulenger (1836-1892), der 1863 Eigentümer des Unternehmens wird und es unter dem Namen H. Boulenger & Cie (Hautin Boulenger & Cie) weiterführt. In dieser Zeit beschäftigte die Manufaktur etwa dreihundert Mitarbeiter und erweiterte die Produktion um zahlreiche Majolika-Designs. Hauptkonkurrent war die elsass-lothringische Keramik-Fabrik in Sarreguemines, welches nach Ende des Deutsch-Französischen Krieges von Deutschland annektiert wurde. Da einige Arbeiter aus Sarreguemines die deutsche Zugehörigkeit ablehnten, wechselten sie nach Choisy-le-Roi und brachten ihre technischen und künstlerischen Fähigkeiten in die Produktion mit ein. In der Folgezeit produzierte Boulenger die feinsten Majoliken Frankreichs und verschaffte sich ein großes Renommee auf internationalen Ausstellungen. Hippolyte Boulenger eröffnete 1889 in der Rue Paradis 18 in Paris ein Ladengeschäft, in dem die neuen Entwürfe der Manufaktur ausgestellt wurden. Zu den beeindruckendsten Stücken gehören monumentale Majolika-Vasen mit Hennen, Hähnen und anderen Vögeln, die von Paul Comolera und Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse modelliert wurden. Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse (1848 Paris - 1913 Paris) war ein französischer Maler, Bildhauer und Keramiker. Zum künstlerischen Leiter der Faiencerie von Choisy-le-Roi wurde er 1889 unter Hippolyte Boulenger. Im selben Jahr erhielt er eine Silbermedaille auf der Weltausstellung in Paris und wurde mit dem Orden der Ehrenlegion gewürdigt. Die längste Zusammenarbeit fand nach dem Tod von Hippolyte Boulenger mit dessen Sohn Paul Boulenger statt. Eine ungewöhnliche Entwicklung in der Karriere von Carrier-Belleuse war die Etablierung seines Rufs als Bildhauer in Mittelamerika. Dies scheint mit einem Auftrag für das Grabmal des liberalen Reformers und Modernisierers von Guatemala, Präsident Justo Rufino Barrios, der im April 1885 starb, begonnen zu haben. 1891 entwarf Carrier-Belleuse das Nationaldenkmal von Costa Rica, ein 1895 enthülltes Bronzedenkmal im Parque Nacional von San José, das an die Nationalkampagne 1856/57 und die Freiheitshelden Costa Ricas erinnert.Literatur : Majolica International Society, Denton, Texas: Choisy-le-Roi.

Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse, Choisy-le-Roi. Stamp mark with addition "France". Late 19th c. Inscribed "Louis Carrier Belleuse" on the base. Model no. 1704 12 99 PIM. Designed by Louis-Robert CARRIER-BELLEUSE (1848-1913 Paris).Majolica, colorfully painted. H 80 cm. 21.4 kg. Monumental sculpture of a male peacock with unfurled tail feathers, on natural base with shell. Spring wheel partly restored, 3 springs punctured..Choisy-le-Roi belongs ürt since about 1804 to the important centers of French ceramic manufacturing. In 1836, Louis Boulenger (1773-1850) and Hippolyte Hautin took over the management of the local faience factory. Their children Adolphe Boulenger (1805-1873) and Alexandrine Hautin (1814-1900) married and had 4 children, including Hippolyte Boulenger (1836-1892), who became the owner of the company in 1863 and continued it under the name H. Boulenger & Cie (Hautin Boulenger & Cie). During this period, the manufactory employed about three hundred people and expanded its production with numerous majolica designs. The main competitor was the Alsace-Lorraine ceramics factory in Sarreguemines, which was annexed by Germany after the end of the Franco-Prussian War. Since some workers from Sarreguemines refused the German affiliation, they moved to Choisy-le-Roi and brought their technical and artistic skills to the production. Subsequently, Boulenger produced the finest majolica in France and gained a great reputation at international exhibitions. Hippolyte Boulenger opened a store in 1889 at 18 rue Paradis in Paris, where the new designs of the manufacture were exhibited. Among the most impressive pieces are monumental majolica vases with hens, chickens and other birds modeled by Paul Comolera and Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse. Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse (1848 Paris - 1913 Paris) was a French painter, sculptor and ceramist. He became the artistic director of the Faiencerie of Choisy-le-Roi in 1889 under Hippolyte Boulenger. In the same year he received a silver medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris and was decorated with the Order of the Legion of Honor. The longest collaboration took place after the death of Hippolyte Boulenger with his son Paul Boulenger. An unusual development in Carrier-Belleuse's career was the establishment of his reputation as a sculptor in Central America. This seems to have begun with a commission for the tomb of the liberal reformer and modernizer of Guatemala, President Justo Rufino Barrios, who died in April 1885. In 1891 Carrier-Belleuse designed the National Monument of Costa Rica, a bronze monument unveiled in 1895 in the Parque Nacional of San José commemorating the 1856/57 national campaign and Costa Rica's freedom heroes..Literature : Majolica International Society, Denton, Texas: Choisy-le-Roi.

Speiseservice "Purpurrose mit blauen Blättern". Meissen. Schwertermarke, Jahreszeichen 1965, 1. Wahl, Dekor Nr. 1332b./610310 , Form Nr. 6358/21023. Formentwurf: 1967 von Erhard Großer (1902-?), Alexander Struck (1902-1990), Ludwig Zepner (1931-2010); Dekorentwurf: Heinz Werner (1928-2019). Scharffeuerfarbe, Emailfarbe und Poliergold. 41 Teile. Form "Service mit Gitterrelief". 6 Speiseteller, 6 Suppenteller, 6 Suppentassen mit 6 Untertassen, 6 Salatteller, 6 Dessertteller, 1 Ovalplatte (L 26,5 cm), 2 verschiedene Saucieren (L 15,5 und 19 cm), 1 Schüssel (Ø 26 cm) und 1 Terrine (Ø 34 cm). Eine Ikone des Porzellandesigns erschuf der junge Ludwig Zepner (1931-2010) mit dem "Service mit Gitterrelief". Auf kluge und feinfühlige Art nimmt er Traditionen der Formgestaltung auf, indem er die Reliefs in Flächen die nach außen tendieren - Deckel und Fahnen - das Gefäß binden lässt. Majestätisch und zugleich bescheiden und elegant wirken die Gefäße durch die geschwungenen Henkel und den abgeflachten Knauf der Deckel. Der originäre farbige Dekor für das "Gitterrelief"-Service ist die Purpurrose mit blauen Blättern von Heinz Werner (1928-2019) - eine Reverenz an die große Tradition der Rosenmalerei Meissens. Sowohl allerhöchste technische Kenntnisse als auch erstklassige künstlerische Eignung erfordert hier der Umgang mit Unterglasurmalerei, Scharffeuerfarbe und Emailfarbe. In deren Kombination erscheinen Rose und Blätter in einzigartiger Tiefe und Brillanz, wie es das so selten zu sehen gibt. Man darf wohl von einer Meisterleistung sprechen, dass aus den alten Brennöfen der 60iger Jahre derart schönes und hochwertiges Porzellan gewonnen wurde. Die Manufaktur wurde für dieses Service auf der Leipziger Frühjahrsmesse 1965 mit einer Goldmedaille ausgezeichnet. Mehr noch bleibt es ein Meilenstein des modernen Meissener Porzellans und eine Augenweide für Connaisseure erlesenen Porzellans. (vgl. Meissener Konturen 1960-1990, S. 68, S. 237f). Literatur : Konturen, S. 68ff. und S. 237f. Aufrufzeit 27. | Okt 2023 | voraussichtlich 20:12 Uhr (CET)Dinner service "Purple rose with blue leaves". Meissen. Sword mark, year mark 1965, 1st choice, decor no. 1332b./610310 , shape no. 6358/21023. shape design: 1967 by Erhard Großer (1902-?), Alexander Struck (1902-1990), Ludwig Zepner (1931-2010); decor design: Heinz Werner (1928-2019). Sharp fire paint, enamel paint and polished gold. 41 pieces. Form "Service with lattice relief". 6 dinner plates, 6 soup plates, 6 soup cups with 6 saucers, 6 salad plates, 6 dessert plates, 1 oval plate (L 26,5 cm), 2 different sauce boats (L 15,5 and 19 cm), 1 bowl (Ø 26 cm) and 1 tureen (Ø 34 cm). An icon of porcelain design created the young Ludwig Zepner (1931-2010) with the "Service with grid relief". In a clever and sensitive way, he takes up traditions of form design by letting the reliefs bind the vessel in surfaces that tend to the outside - lids and flags. The vessels look majestic and at the same time modest and elegant thanks to the curved handles and the flattened knob of the lids. The original colored decoration for the "lattice relief" service is the purple rose with blue leaves by Heinz Werner (1928-2019) - a reverence to the great tradition of Meissen rose painting. Both the very highest technical knowledge and first-class artistic aptitude are required here in the handling of underglaze painting, sharp fire paint and enamel paint. In their combination, rose and leaves appear in a unique depth and brilliance, which can be seen so rarely. It can be called a masterstroke that such beautiful and high-quality porcelain was produced from the old kilns of the 1960s. The manufactory was awarded a gold medal for this service at the Leipzig Spring Fair in 1965. Even more, it remains a milestone of modern Meissen porcelain and a feast for the eyes of connoisseurs of exquisite porcelain. (cf. Meissen Contours 1960-1990, p. 68, p. 237f).
