A fine late 18th century ivory and printed vellum fan, engraved by F. Bartolozzi (1727-1815),the leaf printed and handcoloured in England with cherubs in reserves, and flower garlands, emblematic of the Power of Love, the ivory sticks and guards probably from Dieppe, carved with neoclassical figures, birds and vessels, an old label states that the fan was gifted to Mrs John Hall by Bartolozzi, possibly the wife of John Hall, glass manufacturer in Bristol or a contemporary engraver of the same name, cased.An identical fan is in the Royal collection RCIN 25378. Although the fan in the Royal collection is attributed to Antonio Poggi he is known to have published works by Bartolozzi and John Hall.Literature - In the central medallion winged Cupid (holding a kithara, similar to a lyre), symbolising Love, rides a lion. On the left is Cupid with stick and ball; on the right is the infant Hercules. All these figures may be taken as symbols of the power of love; they all derive from Antique gems. The central figure is copied from the gem engraved (i.e. carved) by Protarchos, which was illustrated several times in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The guards feature a decorative winged interpretation of the moon goddess Diana.A line of printed text, with the name of the fan-maker and publisher Antonio Poggi (fl. c. 1769 - after 1803), is just visible at the foot of the leaf, above the gorge. Mr Poggi, of St George's Row, Hyde Park, was highly regarded both as a maker of fans and as a painter. He is said to have arrived in London in the train of Pasquale Paoli, the Corsican patriot, and exhibited pictures at the Royal Academy in both 1776 (when he was still based in Rome) and in 1781. After Fanny Burney visited his shop with Sir Joshua Reynolds in March of the latter year, she recorded seeing:some beautiful fans, painted by Poggi, from designs of Sir Joshua [Reynolds], Angelica [Kauffmann], West, and Cipriani, on leather; they are, indeed, more delightful than can well be imagined: one was bespoke by the Duchess of Devonshire, for a present to some woman of rank in France, that was to cost £30 . . .The Power of Love was the earliest dated fan to be published by Poggi. It was followed by Victory in 1782, with Children playing Battledore and Children with Tops in 1788, Shakespeare's Tomb (after Angelica Kauffman) in 1790 and Cupid and Psyche in 1797. An auction of Poggi's stock held in London by Messrs Christie and Ansell on 11 April 1783 included fans made by Poggi himself (and by Bartolozzi, Kauffman and West), while lots 99-116 were described as 'Drawings of Fans'; these included The Universal Power of Love which presumably relates to the design shown on the present fan.Poggi frequently published the work of the engraver Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815), and Lionel Cust believed that Bartolozzi rather than Poggi engraved this fan leaf. A total of eighteen engraved fan leaves, including the present one, were included in the catalogue raisonné of Bartolozzi's work. The artists responsible for the designs that Bartolozzi engraved included Cipriani, Angelica Kauffmann, Joshua Reynolds and Benjamin West.Later in his career Poggi set up as a dealer in Old Master drawings, and in 1793 he helped to disperse Sir Joshua Reynolds's collection. By 1801 he was supplying drawings to the Prince of Wales (the future George IV). In February 1803 he wrote to request payment of his invoice: he was on the point of 'quiting [sic] this Country' after 'various disappointments'. It is unlikely that this fan has an early royal provenance; it was purchased by Queen Mary from the Red Cross Gift House in July 1916.Text adapted from Unfolding Pictures: Fans in the Royal Collection, 2005fan radius 27.5cm, case 62cm wide

Y† BLUTHNER, LEIPZIG; AN EARLY GRAND PIANO1854The rosewood case with pierced music rest, on turned and faceted legs and castors, with unique Bluthner patent action213cm long, 136cm wide, 94cm high Provenance:Cobbe CollectionCatalogue Note:This is a very early Bluthner grand piano by this important maker who started manufacturing only the previous year, 1853. This piano has an intriguing history as it is signed by some of the great musicians of the time, including Annette Essipoff-Leschetizky, Emil Liebling, Ignace Paderewski, Georges Pitsch, Frances Planté, Erwin Schulhoff. It was rumoured to have spent time in Auguste Rodin's home, but that is not verified.Annette Essipoff-Leschetizky, was the daughter of a high Russian official, Esipova entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory, where she was a pupil of Theodor Leschetizky (whom she married in 1880). From 1871 to 1892 Esipova lived mainly in western Europe. Her London debut took place in 1874, her first Paris appearance in 1875. In 1876 she toured the United States. Esipova's repertoire included works by Chopin, Schubert, Mozart, and Beethoven. In later years she taught at the St. Petersburg Conservatory; among her distinguished pupils was Sergey Prokofiev. Emil Liebling was a German-American pianist and composer.Jan Paderewski was a famous virtuoso Polish pianist and composer who became a spokesman for Polish independence. In 1919, he was the new nation's Prime Minister and foreign minister during which he signed the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I. Francis Planté was a French pianist famed as one of the first ever recording artists. Planté was born in Orthez. He studied piano under Antoine Marmontel, his career beginning at the age of seven in Paris. Erwin Schulhoff was a Czech composer and pianist. He was one of the figures in the generation of European musicians whose successful careers were prematurely terminated by the rise of the Nazi regime. 博蘭斯勒, 萊比錫; 一架早期三角鋼琴1854紅木琴箱與穿孔琴譜架,下面是旋轉多面腿和腳輪,有獨特的博蘭斯勒專利活動長213cm, 寬136cm, 高94cm拍品來源:科布收藏目錄注解: 這是一架非常早期的布魯斯納三角鋼琴,由一位重要的製造者製造,他在1853年才開始製造。 這架鋼琴有著有趣的歷史,因為它是由當時的一些偉大的音樂家簽名的,包括安內特·艾希波夫·萊謝蒂茨基, 埃米爾·列伯陵, 揚·帕德路斯基, 喬治·皮奇, 佛朗西斯·普蘭特,埃爾文·舒爾霍夫。據傳它曾在奧古斯特·羅丹的家中呆過一段時間,但這並未得到證實。安內特·艾希波夫·萊謝蒂茨基,俄羅斯一位高級官員的女兒,她進入聖彼德堡音樂學院,在那裡她是希歐多爾· 萊謝蒂茨基的學生(在1880年與他結婚)。從1871年到1892年,艾希波夫主要生活在西歐。1874年,她在倫敦首次亮相;1875年,她在巴黎首次亮相。1876年,她在美國巡迴演出。艾希波夫的曲目包括蕭邦、舒伯特、莫札特和貝多芬的作品。後來,她在聖彼德堡音樂學院任教;她傑出的學生中有謝爾蓋·普羅科菲耶夫。埃米爾·利布林是一位德裔美國鋼琴家和作曲家。揚·帕德路斯基,一位著名的波蘭鋼琴家和作曲家,也是波蘭獨立的代言人。1919年,他擔任這個新國家的首相和外交部長,期間他簽署了凡爾賽條約,結束了第一次世界大戰。佛朗西斯·普蘭特是法國鋼琴家,是最早錄製唱片的藝術家之一。普蘭特出生在奧爾蒂斯。他師從安東莞·馬蒙泰爾,七歲時在巴黎開始了他的鋼琴生涯。 埃爾文·舒爾霍夫是捷克作曲家和鋼琴家。在那一代歐洲音樂家中,他是其中之一,他們成功的事業因納粹政權的崛起而過早地終止了。 Y indicates that this lot may be subject to CITES regulations when exported.

† PLEYEL, A 6 1/2 OCTAVE TRANSPOSING KEYBOARDCIRCA 1875In original case127cm wide Catalogue Note:"We know that transposition on a keyboard is a difficult operation. When sightreading a complicated accompaniment only the most experienced accompanists and skilful musicians can transpose it into the right key for the singer. For a long time, pianos have been made where the keyboard can move by one or two semi-tones in order to remedy this issue. However, this movement in the keyboard hinders the precision in the mechanism of the piano and compromises the structural integrity of the instrument. Furthermore, the options on offer are inadequate and are no answer to the registers of different voices. Consequently, piano makers have almost universally abandoned this system.It is by another means that M A Wolff, the head of the Pleyel company, Wolff and Company, tried to resolve the problem of the automatic transposition of the piano. He invented a movable keyboard (see dia.) which fits instantaneously and easily on top of the piano keyboard, sliding onto these keys and then allowing the transposition of all the keys in the scale. We read and play the music as it's written on the upper keyboard and the lower keyboard reproduces it in another key. This section of music complete, if necessary, the transposer keyboard can very easily be removed as it's small and lightweight, - and then the pianist is free to resume playing the main keyboard which has not been subject to any change.Initially, you would think that to slide one keyboard on top of another seems like a very simple idea and not posing any undue issues. However, upon reflection, you quickly realise that the mixture of the unequal lengths and heights of the black and white keys needing to apply different pressures on the black and white keys of the keyboard below makes the construction of this little device complicated. Let's just state that thankfully, these difficulties were resolved. Pleyel's Wolff and Company transposer more than achieved the aim of the inventor. We believe this practical and inexpensive instrument is hailed to become the piano accessory for most music lovers."As described by a French advertisement at the time 普萊耶爾, 一架 6 1/2 八度變調鍵盤約 1875在原來為寬127cm目錄注解:我們知道鍵盤變調是一項困難的操作。在視奏複雜的合奏時,只有最有經驗的伴奏者和熟練的音樂家才能把它轉換成適合歌手的音調。長期以來,為解決這個問題,鋼琴的鍵盤可以調節一個或兩個半調。然而,鍵盤的這種操作阻礙了鋼琴機構的精度,損害了樂器的結構完整性。這是另一種方法。MA沃爾夫是普萊耶爾公司的負責人,沃爾夫與公司一起嘗試解決有自動變調問題的鋼琴。他發明了一種可移動的鍵盤(見直徑),它可以瞬間輕鬆地安裝在鋼琴鍵盤上,滑動到這些鍵上,然後進行音階中所有鍵的移位。我們可以閱讀播放寫在鍵盤上的音樂,而下麵的鍵盤則以另一個鍵再現它。如果有必要,這部分音樂完整的轉換到鍵盤可以很容易地移除,因為它小並且輕量,鋼琴家可以自由地繼續演奏主鍵盤,這沒有任何改變最初,你可能會認為把一個鍵盤放在另一個鍵盤上似乎是一個非常簡單的想法,不會造成任何不必要的問題。然而,經過思考,你很快就會意識到,由於黑白鍵的長度和高度不等,需要對下面鍵盤的黑白鍵施加不同的壓力,這就使得這個小樂器的構造非常複雜。我們可以說,謝天謝地,這些困難都解決了。普萊耶爾的沃爾夫和公司的變調器超過了發明者的預期目標。我們相信,這種實用而廉價的樂器將成為大多數音樂愛好者的鋼琴配件。 † indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate of 20% on the hammer price as well as being charged on the buyers' premium.

† RIPPEN, HOLLAND; A 6'2'' ALUMINIUM GRAND PIANOCIRCA 1965The case finished in metallic silver with black polyester finish to lid, nameboard and music desk on tapered square legs141cm wide, 94cm high; together with matching stool designed by Nico Rippen Catalogue Note:This piano was a revolution in piano design. Johan Rippen threw away the rule book and instead of sticking with the traditional wooden-cased piano with a separate cast iron frame to take the tension, these pianos were made of a cast aluminium frame which was both the body of the piano and the frame bearing the tension of the strings The result is an iconic design reflecting the aesthetics of the 50s and 60s, but also, still strikingly modern with its sinuous case shape freed from the constraints of traditional construction. There were also several other brilliant innovations such as the laminated soundboard which does not crack or distort and a reverse 'crown' built into the soundboard at the time of construction. These instruments are very light and stable and it is no surprise that they were featured on many ocean liners of their day. These ocean liners were the epitome of taste and modern style, including the re-imagined, legendary Parisian Cafe de la Paix which lent its name to the one on board the 1958 SS Rotterdam, the ground-breaking, last great Dutch "ship of state" which was launched by Queen Juliana and featured the greatest Dutch artisans in the fitting out process. 裏朋,荷蘭; 一架 6'2'' 鋁制 三角鋼琴約1965琴箱以金屬銀和黑色聚酯完成蓋,名牌和錐形方腿上的音樂桌寬141cm, 高94cm; 搭配由尼科·來彭設計的凳子目錄注解: 這架鋼琴是鋼琴設計的一次革命。 約翰·來彭扔掉規則,堅持傳統木箱鋼琴加上一個單獨的鑄鐵框架進行拉力,這些鋼琴的鑄鋁框架是鋼琴的主體和承受琴弦張力的框架。其結果是一個標誌性的設計,反映了50年代和60年代的美學,但也仍然驚人的現代化,其彎曲的外殼形狀擺脫了傳統建構的限制。還有其他一些傑出的創新,如不開裂或扭曲的夾層音板、在建造時內置在音板上的反向"皇冠"。這些樂器非常輕便且穩定,所以它們當時出現在許多遠洋客輪上也就不足為奇了。 † indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate of 20% on the hammer price as well as being charged on the buyers' premium.Condition Report: Fully restored by Period Piano Company.
