A French late 19th/early 20th century ormolu mounted kingwood bowfront vitrine by Francois Linke (1855-1946)Circa 1900, with scrolled foliate, floral and acanthus mounts, the moulded marble top above an arched glazed panel mounted door, enclosing a mirrored interior with three adjustable glass shelves, the door mounted to the base with a central foliate spray-adorned shell and waterfall, on keeled cabriole legs terminating in sabots, two mounts, and probably others likewise, stamped: 'F.L.', 91cm wide x 42cm deep x 168cm high, (35 1/2in wide x 16 1/2in deep x 66in high)Footnotes:A Francois Linke vitrine of the same, or at least virtually identical, design to the offered lot sold Christie's, London, 19 March 2008, 19th Century Furniture, lot 127. This example follows index number 1185. Another similar vitrine by Linke sold Christie's, New York, 26 November 2013, The Opulent Eye, lot 82 whilst a related model, albeit one following index number 208, sold Bonhams, London, 10 July 2007, Fine Continental Furniture, lot 92. A further Linke comparable sold Christie's, New York, 13 April 2017, Opulence, lot 119.Similar 'crab-like' waterfall, shell and foliate mounts to the one appearing prominently on the present vitrine are typically associated with the oeuvre of Francois Linke, and can often be directly linked to the designs of Léon Messagé. However, dynamic variants of this mount can also be found on some of the furniture produced by Joseph-Emanuel Zwiener or the Zwiener firm, especially during the period 1890-c.1900.François Linke was born in Bohemia but moved to Paris where he established his business circa 1880 at 170, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, and from 1900 onwards he opened a showroom at 26, Place Vendôme. Linke made a huge impact at the Paris 1900 Exposition Universelle at which he presented vigorous reinterpretations of the Rococo style. He was ultimately honoured with a gold medal and his success acquired wealthy patrons from across the world. He was admired so much in France that he was even awarded the 'Croix de la Légion d'Honneur' in 1906.LiteratureC.

A French 19th century ormolu mounted kingwood vitrine attributed to Paul Sormani (1817-1877)Of slightly serpentine form, with acanthus, rocaille, C-scroll, shell and floral mounts, with foliate chutes, the raised central top section of double ogee and bombé outline, above one large and two small shaped glazed panels incorporating a central door, enclosing three adjustable glass shelves and a mirrored interior, over a shaped apron, on keeled cabriole legs terminating in floral and foliate sabots, approximately: 129cm wide x 40cm deep x 168cm high, (50 1/2in wide x 15 1/2in deep x 66in high)Footnotes:ProvenancePurchased: Bonhams, New Bond Street, 10 July 2014, Fine European Furniture, lot 125.A virtually identical Sormani vitrine to the offered lot, one with a lockplate signed: 'P. Sormani, 10 Rue Charlot, Paris', sold Christie's, London, 18 September 2014, The Opulent Eye - 19th Century Furniture, lot 220.

A further closely comparable Sormani example, again with similarly stamped lockplate, sold Christie's, 24 February 2000, The 19th Century Interior, lot 75.Paul Sormani was one of the most important ébénistes of the 19th century. Although Italian by birth, his first gallery and workshop were established in 1847 in Paris. It is documented that his business was based at 114, rue du Temple until 1867, from which time onwards it was re-located to 10, rue Charlot. Following Sormani's death in 1877 the firm, which continued under the combined direction of his widow Ursule-Marie-Philippine and his son Paul-Charles, was renamed 'Veuve Paul Sormani & Fils'.Specializing in furniture made in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles, Sormani advertised his workshop with high praise: 'toute sa production revèle une qualité d'éxecution de toute première ordre'. His most impressive pieces and objets d'art were often exhibited and frequently also rewarded at the major international Exhibitions of the 1860s and 1870s. In fact, Sormani received a medal of première classe at the Exposition Universelle in 1855, followed by another medal at the 1862 Exhibition in London.LiteratureC.

Lot 77
A mid Victorian ebony, calamander, abalone, mother of pearl, ivory, bone, rosewood, purpleheart, sycamore and fruitwood marquetry collector's cabinet1870-1875, possibly by Jackson and GrahamWith line-inlaid borders and stringing, the top surmounted by a baluster gallery to the rear, above a stylised foliate inlaid frieze comprised of alternating palmettes and lotus-leaves flanked by rosette tablet angles, over a twin double panelled door, the upper panel inlaid with a still life of assorted shells, moluscs, coral and seaweed, the lower door panel inlaid with stylised foliate and scrolled angles, enclosing a total of eleven satinwood veneered and mahogany lined drawers comprised of eight long drawers over three deep drawers, flanked by stylised foliate, palmette and honeysuckle inlaid angles, on a plinth base, the lock stamped: 'CHUBB PATENT, 128 QUEEN VICTORIA ST., ST. PAUL'S, LONDON, 800354', 96cm wide x 67cm deep x 148cm high, (37 1/2in wide x 26in deep x 58in high)Footnotes:The repeating inlay running across the frieze of the offered lot is redolent of some Greek revival or 'Neo-Grec' designs published in 1856 within 'The Grammar of Ornament' by Owen Jones (1809-1868). Worthy of particular comparison are several decorative patterns inspired by ancient Greek vase ornamentation which feature among Plates XVI and XVII, Greek No.'s 2 and 4. Owen Jones was among the most notable designers employed by the renowned cabinet making combination of Jackson and Graham so it seems probable that the present cabinet was indeed executed by this firm. Added to this, the use of ivory (amongst the various other exotic materials) inlaid into ebony, along with its distinctive stylised foliate embellishments, are certainly characteristics very much in keeping with those pieces produced by Jackson and Graham during the period 1865-1875. Jackson and Graham (fl. 1836-1885)Jackson and Graham were one of the most successful and prestigious firms of the early and mid-Victorian periods. Based in London, they were responsible for enhancing the reputation and improving the renown of English cabinet makers throughout the rest of the World. In 1836 the partnership of Peter Graham (1811-1877) and Thomas Charles Jackson (1807-1848) was founded at 37 Oxford Street, but by 1839 the venture had developed to incorporate 37 & 38 Oxford Street, as well as an additional location at 18 Newman Street.In 1845 the company was recorded in the Post Office Directory as cabinet makers, upholsterers, carvers, gilders and house agents. However, by as early as 1866 they had grown sufficiently quickly as to include locations at 29, 33, 34, 35, 37 and 38 Oxford Street, together with the ownership and running of addresses at Perry's Place, Freston Place and Newman's Yard. In the 1860s, as part of their operation, Jackson and Graham employed 250 workers. During the 1850s the firm set up a steam engine for the more rudimentary sawing requirements, however by the next decade they had established machine-carving as well. By 1875 their total number of employees had reached within the region of 600 to 1,000. The rapid rise of the business is summarised in a London Directory advertisement of 1866 in the following way: 'Jackson and Graham announce... that they have recently made great additions to their former extensive premises, which render their establishment the largest of its kind in this or any other country. The Spacious Show Rooms and Galleries are filled with an unrivalled stock, the prices of which are all marked in plain figures at the most moderate rates for ready money. The extensive Manufactory adjoining, with machinery worked by steam power, is fitted with all means and appliances to ensure superiority and economise cost. Each of the departments will be found as complete as if it formed a separate business...' Only one decade on from this, another detailed account of the company is provided in J.H. Pollen's publication of Bevan's 'British Manufacturing Industries' (London, 1876). It elucidates a business which was as almost entirely automated as any other at that time in Victorian Britain, utilising and manipulating steam in order to power their wide assortment of machinery. Yet, despite this fact, the substantial contribution of highly skilled human labour and craftsmanship was also simultaneously championed therein. And, probably in part due to their employment of specialist foreign inlayers or marquetry experts, the firm's output easily rivalled anything then being produced in Europe, as evidenced by the numerous awards they were honoured with over time. Jackson and Graham used every opportunity to display their 'wares' at the various International Exhibitions which took place throughout much of the second half of the 19th century. They did so in order to showcase the very best of what they could produce. Their notable participation at the first and most famous of these, the Great Exhibition of 1851, was described thus by the 'Art Journal': 'Messrs Jackson and Graham, the eminent upholsterers of London are large contributors to the Great Exhibition of many important articles of their manufacture'. At the 1851 Exhibition in London, they received a prize medal for their exhibits.For the 1855 Paris Exhibition the firm showed a large Eugene Prignot-designed cabinet to the public, which was thereafter acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum for £2,000: W.81-981, where it is still housed today. Among the more significant furniture supplied for the 1862 International Exhibition in London were a pollard oak sideboard and a Louis XVI style ebony and ivory cabinet with an onyx top. Again, they were honoured with multiple awards in London, but also gained similar trophies five years hence at the Paris Exposition. In 1871 an ebony and inlaid cabinet, which followed a design by R.S. Lorimer, was displayed by Jackson and Graham at the International Exhibition. They were also involved at Vienna in 1873 and took part in London the next year. However, it appears that at the 1878 Paris Exposition, which was their ultimate event of this scale and scope, they obtained the Prix d'Honneur for the British section. Whilst for the star item, known as the 'Juno' cabinet, they in fact achieved the 'Grand Prix' before the Viceroy of India bought the piece for £2,000 (now in the Victoria and Albert, W.18: 1-6 1981). Their principal documented commissions include work provided for; the Ball Room at Buckingham Palace; the Palace of the Khedive in Cairo, Egypt; the City Carlton Club; and the Livadia, a yacht belonging to the Czar of Russia.It should be noted that a great deal of the success of this business was allied to the fact that they often employed the major designers of the day. Such prominent figures as Owen Jones, Thomas Jeckyll, Bruce Talbert and Christopher Dresser all worked at one time or another for Jackson and Graham. As on the offered lot, the particular emphasis in the designs of Owen Jones was largely upon ebony pieces inlaid with ivory and sometimes also metal. During the period 1862-c.1864, Alfred Morrison commissioned Jackson and Graham together with Jones to produce extensive work at Fonthill House in Tis...

Lot 90
Attributed to Francois Villemsens (French, fl. mid 19th century): An impressive pair of First Universal 'Great Exhibition' gilt bronze Neptune ewersCirca 1851Each with mythological aquatic figural decoration, the elaborate rocaille cast urn bodies with intertwined sea serpent high scrolling handles and eagle pouring lips, the swept upper bodies cast with the sea gods drawn by twin pairs of hippocampi, trumpeting mermaids and mermen, shells and acanthus leaves, above foliate girdles applied with Neptune masks, dolphins and alternating shells and starfish, each raised on mermen and mermaid tripod supports, above rockwork tripartite platform footed bases, 56.5cm high (2)Footnotes:The model of the offered ewers is almost identical to a vase exhibited by the bronzier François Villemsens at the first Universal Exhibition known as the Great Exhibition, held in London in 1851. In the Art Journal illustrated catalogue the entry notes for his work commented: 'the three vases are from the establishment of M. Villemsens of Paris, worker in bronze, and manufacturer of church ornaments; the latter branch of business especially, being largely carried on by this house. During our visit to Paris towards the close of the past year, we saw in his extensive showrooms a vast variety of objects, exhibiting more or less taste in composition, and ingenuity of workmanship; these were principally executed in bronze and in brass, and were adapted as well for the embellishment of the private dwelling as for purposes of ecclesiastical use and decoration - statues, vases, chandeliers, candelabra, delicate rail-work, etc. The three bronze vases and dishes selected from the contributions of this firm are distinguished by beauty of outline and elaborate ornament, approaching very closely to the best antiques'.Likely descended from a family of goldsmiths in the 18th century, François Villemsens established his workshop in the Marais, first at 18 rue Michel Le Comte, then at 71 rue du Temple. In 1834, he exhibited a facsimile of the armour of Francis I, which was hailed by the Archives du Commerce et de l'Industrie (Paris, 1834, p. 157). By 1835, he entered the Réunion des Fabricants de Bronze, heir to the former corporation of foundrymen, and regularly participated in the Expositions des Produits de l'Industrie Française. Winning a silver medal at the Exhibition of 1839, Villemsens joined the 'Bronze of Art and Furnishings' category alongside Thomire & Cie and Victor Paillard before winning a further silver medal at the last Exposition des Produits de l'Industrie Française in 1849. With these successes he approached the Universal Exhibition in London in 1851 where he won a new medal by submitting the vases mentioned above, including the Neptune vase. The success led him to New York where he participated in the Universal Exhibition of 1853 and appeared in the official catalogue of the New York exhibition of the industry of all nations, p. 154, at No. 15 as 'Bronze candelabras, groups, lamps, etc. Villemsens & Co, manu. 71 rue de Temple, Paris'... He was again a medallist at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1855 and by 1863 Villemsens had offered to finance the award of a carving prize that would be awarded each year by the Réunion des Fabricants de Bronze. After participating in the Universal Exhibition of 1867 where he presented a cast door from the Baptistery of Florence, he finally retired from business.From the second quarter of the 19th century onwards sculptors, bronziers and goldsmiths particularly appreciated the shape of the ewer to express ornamentation in all its manifestations, giving a free rein to exuberance and eclecticism. Renaissance art was one of their main sources of inspiration, and in particular Mannerism, utilising mythological themes and motifs as illustrated by the present lot. The sculptor Adolphe-Victor Geoffroy-Dechaume and the goldsmith Charles Wagner, who were contemporaries of Villemsens, similarly produced a ewer on the theme of Ondine in 1844, which is reproduced in the Maciet Albums. Characteristically the decoration to this piece does not leave a single part of the vessel plain. Although renowned for the execution of religious ornaments, Villemsens did not limit himself to this field and contributed to renewing the genre of decorative bronzes for a secular and wealthy clientele during the mid 19th century.
