After Lord Frederick Leighton (British, 1830-1896): A patinated bronze figure of 'The Sluggard'probably early 20th centurythe nude male stretching, on canted square base, bearing signature Fred Leighton to a rear corner, the front inscribed THE SLUGGARD, 52cm highFootnotes:Although perhaps better known as a fashionable Royal Academy painter of the late 19th century, Leighton took up sculpture in the 1870's and today is regarded as the father of New Sculpture in England. Leighton's Sluggard, also known as 'Athlete Awakening from Sleeping', was first executed in 1882. Giuseppe Valona, the Italian model who posed for 'An Athlete Struggling with a Python', was again used for the Sluggard. Edgcumbe Staley described the moment when: 'Giuseppe Valona, the model, a man of fine proportions, weary one day of posing in the studio, threw himself back, stretched out his arms and gave a great yawn. Leighton saw the whole performance and fixed it roughly in clay straight off.'A more refined life-size plaster was later exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1886 and was awarded a medal of honour when it was shown at the Paris Exposition Universelle three years later. A bronze cast of this plaster, acquired by Henry Tate in 1896, is now in the Tate Gallery.The Sluggard has obvious parallels with Rodin's 'Age of Bronze', exhibited in 1884 and it was perhaps this work which encouraged Leighton to revive his earlier model. The work later became one of the most popular Victorian statuettes when reduced-scale bronze editions were made by Arthur Leslie Collie and cast by the Singer Foundry.Literature:S.

Lot 614
A silver replica of the Open Championship golf trophy ewerGarrard & Co Ltd, London 1985Profuse chased decoration, elongated neck and curved shoulders, the slightly tapering cylindrical body with four panels, one depicting a standing golfer in full swing, knopped pedestal foot, on a three-tiered wood base, each with a plain silver band, in original fitted box, overall height 35.8cm, weight 15ozFootnotes:ProvenanceFrom information provided by the vendor, two-third scale trophies made by Garrard's were traditionally given to the winners of the Open Championship. This example was purchased some 30 years ago directly from a director of the company prior to them being awarded.HistoryThe Open Championship silver claret jug is arguably golf's most famous prize, but it was not awarded to the first Open champion Willie Park in 1860, instead he received the Challenge Belt. However, if a player won the competition on three consecutive years, he could then own the Challenge Belt, which Young Tom Morris achieved in 1868-1870. As such there was no event contested in 1871, as there was no trophy to present and a solution to this was resolved, as detailed from The Open website:Agreement was finally reached on September 11, 1872 between the three clubs that were to host The Open — Prestwick, the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers and The Royal and Ancient Golf Club. They decided that the Champion would receive a medal and that each of the three clubs would contribute £10 towards the cost of a new trophy, which was to be a silver Claret Jug, instead of another Belt. Its proper name was to be The Golf Champion Trophy.The original trophy was awarded to players annually until 1927. When Walter Hagen won in 1928, he was given a replica and the original was put on permanent display at the clubhouse at the Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews. Champions continue to receive the replica trophy, on which they get their names engraved and get to keep for a year before returning to the R&A upon the conclusion of their reign. Champions receive their own replica to keep.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Lot 749
A set of four Victorian silver and parcel-gilt figural saltsJohn Samuel Hunt, London 1854, incuse stamped 'HUNT & ROSKELL LATE STORR & MORTIMER 7219' Modelled as four children in 18th century dress, all holding gilt lined baskets to sell their wares, on grass-effect pedestal bases, inscribed with the monogram 'MTU', with wood inserts, height tallest 18.5cm. (4)Footnotes:These silver and parcel-gilt figural salts were originally designed and modelled by the goldsmith Jean-Valentin Morel (French, 1794-1860). Morel was the son of a Parisian lapidary, and studied in the workshop of the gold box maker Adrien Vachette. He began business on his own account around 1830, later settling in Rue Neuve St Augustin in partnership with the French architect Henri Duponchel. After a lawsuit and the dissolution of the partnership, Morel was barred from working in the Department of the Seine, and moved his business to London. He registered his mark in 1849, and continued to produce the highest quality silver and jewellery. Morel exhibited a set of these four salts at the Great Exhibition of 1851, where they were described in The Official Catalogue as 'Saltcellars representing figures on donkeys with baskets, embossed and chased; and figures holding baskets, modelled and chased.' One contemporary commentator in 'The Crystal Palace and its Contents' illustrated the salts and selected them for special praise: 'The silver salt cellars, by Morel, are very beautiful little affairs, in the Louis Quatorze style. They represent rustic children, quite of the Watteau order, bearing baskets and dancing lightly under their burthens.' For this submission at the Great Exhibition, he was awarded a prestigious Council Medal.This design of salt has been noted with hallmarks ranging from 1855-65 with makers' marks for John Samuel Hunt, Barnards, Garrard and C. & G. Fox. When Morel left London under financial difficulties in 1852, it seems likely that he sold his designs to raise funds.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
