GEORGES LENFANT FOR O.J PERRIN: A COLLECTIBLE BI-COLOURED GOLD BRACELET, CIRCA 1970Composed of a series of alternating bi-coloured textured gold links, in 18K white and yellow gold, signed O.J Perrin, with maker's mark 'GL' for Georges Lenfant, French assay marks, length 18.7cmNestled in the heart of Paris at the historic Place Vendôme, O.J. Perrin has long been recognized as a premier destination for exquisite jewellery. Since its founding in 1961, the brand has attracted a diverse clientele of celebrities, politicians, and discerning collectors from around the globe, such as Charles Aznavour and Mireille Mathieu. With a deep commitment to timeless sophistication and modern elegance, O.J. Perrin’s collections epitomize the very essence of Parisian luxury.The Maison’s signature pieces are informed by an exceptional understanding of contemporary design; defined by their graceful lines, each piece is a seamless blend of modern innovation with a classic aesthetic. Whether creating original pieces or reimagining cherished heirlooms, O.J. Perrin has become renowned for its ability to personalize jewellery to reflect the individuality of its clients. This bespoke approach has helped elevate O.J. Perrin pieces into a symbol of exclusivity in the world of fine jewellery.This dedication to craftsmanship and artistry echoes the legacies of other prominent Parisian jewellers, such as Georges Lenfant, whose story also began near the iconic Place Vendôme. Born into the world of French jewellery design, Georges Lenfant quickly mastered his trade, undertaking apprenticeships and studying jewellery design in both Paris and abroad. In 1900, he established his own workshop at 47 rue des Petits-Champs, just minutes away from the jewellery houses of Place Vendôme and Rue de la Paix. By 1903, his exceptional work was already recognized, earning him a listing in the Revue de la Bijouterie, Joaillerie, Orfevrerie.Lenfant’s designs, celebrated for their creative brilliance and flawless execution, attracted attention from the leading jewellery houses of the day, including OJ Perrin, Cartier, Mellerio dits Meller, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Determined to establish his own identity, Georges created a maker's mark in 1909, ensuring his pieces stood apart.In the period following World War II, Georges Lenfant continued to innovate, expanding further with the acquisition of Verger Frères. This partnership led to an exciting collaboration with Vacheron Constantin, producing exquisite timepieces and jewellery, including designs for Hermès. Jacques, who succeeded his father in the 1960s, infused the brand with a renewed focus on goldsmithing, creating beautifully textured pieces that celebrated the versatility of gold. One of his signature designs was the interlocking chain motif, which resulted in over 3,000 unique pieces, now considered some of the most iconic works of the Georges Lenfant legacy.Much like O.J. Perrin, a pillar of Parisian luxury under the direction of Ralph Aljord, Georges Lenfant has built a lasting legacy in the world of fine jewellery. The two houses have collaborated in the past, creating exquisite pieces that combine elegant details with innovative design. These creations perfectly exemplify a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, personalized design, and the seamless blending of timeless elegance with contemporary flair.

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY TRIPLE PEDESTAL EXTENDING DINING TABLE CIRCA 1800 With two additional leaf insertions 74.5cm high, 360cm long, 127cm wide Condition Report: Size breakdown: each leaf adds 58cm to the length of the table; each rounded end pillar section is just under 79cm long; the central pillar section is 86cm long. Without the two additional leaf insertions the three pillar table is 243cm long.Overall there are some scratches, marks, knocks, cracks along the grain of the timber and abrasions consistent with age and use.There are some observations and restorations: some filled holes to the underside of the loose leaves; there are brass clip fittings of two dates to the underside of the table top sections; there are later wood supports to the underside of the top; pedestal stencilled '1' is missing the brass handle to the two brass catches - this does not affect the catches engaging but means two hands are needed to release the catches when tilting the top; there is a slight tilt to one end pedestal top so that it is not as flat as the other end joint (a folded old Christmas card wedge has been inserted under that end of the top!); the table base is solid and robust with the usual small movement to the top that is seen with tables of this design.There is evidence of old worm to the rectangular supports between the top and the pedestals.The table top has subtle areas of colour variation in part due to fading and a lively grain and figuring.Please see all the additional condition report photographs through the link on the condition report email as a visual reference of condition.

James probably went to sea at a fairly young age and worked his way up to become a master mariner. The first record of him at sea, at the age of 25, is as the master of the small single mast sloop Boston sailing in coastal waters. In 1814, James then became master of the 356-ton ship ‘Leng’, armed with six 6-pounder guns, bound for the West Indies. The Lloyd's Register for 1820 also recorded that during that year James took over from as master of the 410 ton convict ship Lord Sidmouth. By the age of 35, James had progressed from being master of ships sailing in coastal waters to sailing to the Mediterranean and across the Atlantic, and now to the other side of the World. In 1820 it was reported that the Lord Sidmouth captain Muddle had sailed from Portsmouth on for New South Wales. After a voyage of 107 days, they arrived at Sydney in Australia on 19 February 1821, where 160 male prisoners were disembarked. James and the Lord Sidmouth also sailed to Jakarta, Calcutta, Mauritius. Upon arriving back to England in 1821, James became captain of the prison ship the ‘Andromeda’, which sailed from Leith to to Van Diemans Land and New South Wales. During the following two decades of travels in and around Australia, James will have collected many of the items in the collection. James is also known to have been captain of the ship ‘Lang’, as well as the “Mandarin’, ‘Glenbervie’ and the ‘Roseanne’. He sailed on prison ships to New Zealand and even China. James died in 1865 at the age of 80, and his collection has been passed by descent down the generations to the present owners.For more information please see the link below:https://www.muddlefamilies.info/harrietsham/22eaa.htm

The image of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos. Midthird quarter of the 19th century. Possibly Vetka. The image, especially revered in Rus`, is a centric, Novgorod composition, in which the memory of getting rid of the Slavic raid on Constantinople in the 7th century is recorded. Then the weekly veneration of the protection of the Mother of God, which grew into a religious procession, saved the city. This solemnly fixes the upper case of the icon. In the lower one, the sweet singer Roman before the emperor and the queen sings hosanna to the Mother of God and Her intercession. In the right stamp, behind the pillar - the scene of the prophetic visitation of Roman by the Mother of God. Clean and precise writing on gold depicts the outline of a temple with five domes, with a bell tower and an annex at the top. The catchy pictorial coloring, including the upcoming ones (St. Nicholas, Evdokia, Agripina and the Archangel Radeniya) is similar to the manner of the Vetka masters of the middle third quarter of the 19th century. Icon dimensions: 44x37 cm. Width: 37cm, Height: 44cm, Depth: 3.5cm, Weight: 5kg, Condition: Good, Material: Wood, gesso, gilding, tempera, ID: ID-ANTQ-7884
