An Art Deco carved emerald, sapphire and diamond jardinière brooch, circa 1930, the vase formed from a pear-shaped emerald bead, weighing 13.60 carats, carved to both sides with an undulating pattern, with vari-shaped step-cut diamond detailing, the whole issuing a tree with brilliant-cut diamond foliage and fruits set with buff-top sapphires and vari-cut diamonds, mounted in platinum, unsigned, French assay mark, numbered ‘3563’, cased by Boucheron, total diamond weight very approximately 8.00 carats, length 6cm. £10,000-£15,000 --- Accompanied by a report from The Gem and Pearl Laboratory. Please contact the department for further details. During the early decades of the 20th century the use of carved Mughal emeralds in contemporary jewellery reflected the growing fascination of master jewellers with the decorative arts of India. Louis Boucheron and Jacques Cartier, amongst others, were charmed by the ‘exotic’ arts and splendour of India and frequently visited seeking commissions and purchasing gemstones for their Western clients. These Indian-inspired jewels were particularly popular amongst British clientele due to the Imperial interests of the country at the time. The cultural fascination between the two continents was, however, reciprocal and the Indian nobility regularly travelled to Europe, visiting Boucheron, Cartier and other firms, to have their historical jewels remodelled into contemporary designs. This brooch encapsulates several influences and innovations of the period, not only through the use of an Indian carved emerald bead but also in the Japanese-inspired motif of the Bonsai tree. The fascination with non-European cultures also extended to the arts of China and Japan. Oriental motifs were readily incorporated into designs and the brooch offered here exemplifies the Japanese influence on the traditional European giardinetto brooch. Advancements in cutting techniques also enabled the fine jewellery houses of the period to combine vari-cut gemstones and create the defining geometric shapes of the era. Literature: Nadelhoffer H., ‘Cartier’, London 1984, pub. Thames & Hudson. Néret, G., ‘Boucheron, Four Generations of a World-Renowned Jeweler’, New York, 1988, pub. Rizzoli.

Alexey Bogolyubov. Astrakhan. Admiralty. A variant of the work of the same name from the collection of the Russian Museum, the reason for which was the shipyards of Astrakhan. It is a documentary and at the same time a loving view of Russian realism on the unsettled life of provincial towns, seen by the future chief artist of the General Staff, during a trip along the Volga. Between the verticals of the masts of ships and steamers in the center are dilapidated houses of artisans. They can see the collected logs for the repair of masts, oars, an anchor, a drying canvas and a resin tank. A kind of diagonal is made up of bundles of inclined boards, oars and a patch of sail on the ground. This unhurried movement is stopped by a pause, an inactively sitting foreground figure. Bright spots of drying linen and clothes of fishermen enliven the clay color of the Volga backwaters. The hard shadows of the midday sun, against the background of the sky faded from the heat, immerse you in the atmosphere of the southern Russian steppes. At the same time, the artist, along with the fishing launch and the simplicity of life, does not ignore paddle steamers - a sign of new industrial opportunities. They form industrial, merchant contrasts and the background of the work. In the lower right corner in a telegraph line, a documentary message: Astrakhan. Bogolyubov. Oil on canvas: 36x57 cm. Literature: Catalog of the Russian Museum. Marina Smirnova p.69. The canvas is duplicated. Width: 84cm, Height: 63cm, Depth: 10cm, Weight: 20kg, Condition: Good, Material: Canvas, oil
