(overall) Luigi Broggini was an Italian artist, sculptor and ceramicist who studied at the Accademia di Berera in Milan under Adolfo Wildt.

He lived in isolation in Paris and Switzerland following World War II and returned to the scene in 1953. This monumental horse sculpture was made using the lost wax process and has developed a Verdigris patina from outdoor exposure. Maquettes and working models for this horse figure and similar ideas are illustrated as items 44, 51, 54 in Broggini- di Alfonso Gatto, Edizioni Delle Ore Milano.

A RARE AND IMPRESSIVE REGENCY CARVED AND PAINTED WOOD SCOTTISH ROYAL COAT OF ARMS BY JOHN STEELL SNR, CIRCA 1816-1837 Depicting the Royal coat of arms with Hanoverian escutcheon, upon the helm sits the crest, depicting a Lion, forward facing and sitting atop the Crown of Scotland, displaying the Honours of Scotland with Scottish motto "In Defens", banner to base partially inscribed Dieu and Droit, signed to the lower front plinth "J Steell, Edin." approximately 150cm high, 236cm wide, 53cm deep This late Georgian carved Royal coat of arms is one of only four now known to survive by John Steell Snr. One is in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland and the other two are still in place, adorning the pediment of Leith Customs House and the interior of the County Hall in Cupar. The latter two have been later gilded and, in the case of the Leith example, later painted as well. The piece in the NGS is partially constructed from plaster, with the remaining part being of gilded pine. Examination of this example reveals indications of prior polychrome decoration. All the surviving pieces are signed, in the case of the Leith example this was only discovered when the pediment was restored in 1983. At the same time, it was also found to be dated 1813, carved into the reverse adjacent to the signature. John Steell Snr. (1770-1848) was a talented wood carver with known works including Corinthian capitals in the Signet Library in Edinburgh and an series of carvings depicting scenes from the life of Mary Queen of Scots for Duns Castle. In addition, he seems to have been heavily involved in the production of shop sign figures, one of which is in the collection of the National Museum of Scotland. Carved in 1835 it depicts a smoking figure used to advertise various tobacconists in a single premises in Princes Street over several years. Steell's son, also John (1804-1891), would rise to become one of Scotland's most famous sculptors, winning royal commissions but it is extremely difficult to gauge the extent of his involvement in his father's business in the early years of his career. Certainly, as he was apprenticed to his father from the age of 14 (in 1818), he would have played some part in the production of some of these wood carvings and it is the opinion of some experts that both men would have been involved in carving the surviving coats of arms. One other coat of arms by the Steell family is known in photographs but sadly does not seem to have survived. This was executed for the pediment of the Theatre Royal in Edinburgh and a photograph from 1858 showing the carving in some detail does exist. The photograph is of sufficient quality to be able to make out the words 'I Steel' and 'Edin' underneath the carving on the front of the piece and, like this example, it also seems to carry the Hanoverian inescutcheon. John Steel Snr.'s trade card survives and advertises "house and ship carving on moderate terms" and there has been discussion as to whether this example may have originally been carved for a ship. Please note, this lot also contains a large stone composition and painted metal plinth/stand which the crest is displayed on in the saleroom. The stand measures 70cm high, 244cm wide, 46.5cm deep overall.

A RARE PAIR OF GEORGE III COADE STONE FIGURAL CANDELABRA BY ELEANOR COADE, LAMBETH, LATE 18TH CENTURY The design attributed to John Bacon, one modelled as a Vestal the other as a Sibyl, each holding a candle branch socket, on circular plinth, both stamped 'COADE LAMBETH" to plinths, stamped Coade to the undersides, monogrammed with an 'R' inside the torsos approximately 140cm high to top of lights, bases 43.5cm diameter Eleanor Coade (d.1821) opened her Lambeth Manufactory for ceramic artificial stone in 1769 and appointed the sculptor John Bacon as its manager two years later. With proven durability of her product (other makers work was seen to disintegrate within a few frosts) she was soon employed by a large number of the leading late 18th century architects. From about 1777 she began her engraved designs, which were published in 1784 in a catalogue of over 700 items entitled "A Descriptive Catalogue of Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory". The design for this rare pair of figures feature twice- firstly as numbers 4 and 5- a Vestal and "Sybil" and subsequently and with the addition of candle branches as "Statues to hold Light" and depicted in the 1784 catalogue as numbers 34 and 35, £16.6.0 each. By the time of the 1799 publication "Coade's Gallery, or, Exhibition in artificial stone" the descriptions were expanded to reflect the growing taste for Neoclassicism. Where possible the sculptor's names were indicated and the Sybil is referred to as being inspired or derived from the one "in the Barbarini collection" (Mrs Coade's spelling). These two figures were among the successful designs of the Lambeth artificial stone manufacture and similar pairs of figures (with and without candle branches) adorn both interiors and exterior settings such as the main gate posts of Malvern Hall, Solihull. Condition Report: As is not uncommon with these type of Coade figures these have both been restored- predominately to bases- one to neck, toes and raised details, urn etc - with scattered other spot fills and repairs. The repairs are largely skilled professional with tinted wash to accord with colourway and obscure repairs. Under UV the wash hides most of the remedial work- some signs of a prior painted surface visible to crevices and recesses. There are also indications of other perhaps less skilled repairs- notably to reverse of one figure's gown area. The branches are later, chips and losses to base edges. Figure with left arm up has crack to crook of arm. Please see additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.
