Lot 373
AFTER BENVENUTO CELLINI (FLORENCE, 1500-1571) A BRONZE FIGURE OF PERSEUS AND MEDUSA ON PLINTH SECOND HALF 19TH CENTURY, ITALIAN The hero portrayed standing contrapposto, heroically nude except for winged sandals and a sash to his chest inscribed BENVENUTUS CELLINI FECIT, standing triumphantly above the slain figure of Medusa, and raising her decapitated head with his left hand, on rectangular figural plinth 98cm high overall, the base 14cm x 14.5cm Provenance: The collection of Sir William Whitfield CBE, 10 March 2020, Lot 38 Commissioned by Duke Cosimo I de' Medici and unveiled in 1554, Cellini's vivid contribution to the Loggia dei Lanzi on Florence's Piazza della Signoria is a tour de force of mid-16th century mannerism. The bronze showcases the many new ways in which mannerist sculptors were pushing the boundaries of the body. The decapitated figure of Medusa for instance is folded up in an unlikely pose, and is an example of what critics would come to refer to as a 'figura sforzata' or 'forced figure'. This iconic sculpture was much admired by Grand Tourists, and many 19th century souvenir casts of the work survive. Prince Albert for example acquired a full-size copy of the bronze by Clemente Capi at the Great Exhibition in 1855, which is now in the Royal Collection. The incorporation of Cellini's figural plinth in slightly smaller models, such as this one, is quite rareCondition Report: Wear, marks, knocks and scratches as per age, handling, use, and cleaning. Some paler patination from this to raised and exposed extremities such as knees- shoulders, plinth edges- reverse of wing to ankle etc The whole in generally good condition but with some loose component elements. Base and top are separate pieces. He lacks sword bladePlease see additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.

Lot 45
A WALNUT EIGHT-DAY LONGCASE CLOCK SIGNED FOR BROUNKER WATTS, LONDON, LATE 17TH CENTURY AND LATERThe four finned pillar inside countwheel bell-striking movement with anchor escapement and seconds pendulum, with a ten-inch brass dial with calendar aperture and subsidiary seconds to the matted centre within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring engraved Brounker Watts, London to lower edge, with pieced steel hands and winged cherub spandrels to angles, in a case with fretwork frieze over Solomonic three-quarter columns to hood, convex throat mouldings and long trunk door with book-matched veneers, on conforming plinth base with moulded skirt198cm high, 43cm wide, 25cm deep Brounker Watts is recorded in Loomes, Brian Clockmakers of Britain 1286-1700 as born in around 1670, he was apprenticed to Joseph Knibb from 1684/5 until 1691 and gained his freedom of the Clockmaker's Company in 1693/4. In around 1695 he married Ursula Walford and in 1696 he is recorded as working from Fleet Street, London. His name is on the company's Oath of Allegiance which was signed the following year. In 1698 Watts was living in the parish of St. Dunstan in the West and is recorded as avoiding stewardship of the Clockmaker's Company in 1711 due to being 'out of town'. Brounker Watts died in 1717 and was buried in his home parish of St. Dunstans in the West.Condition Report: The movement is in fairly clean working condition with no visible evidence of alteration or noticeable replacements it would appear that the mechanism has received a light service fairly recently. The dial is in good condition with only some slight historic light surface scuff/blemishes to the plate and slight mellowing and patchy tarnishing to the silvering. When the clock was previously sold by Bonhams (24th November 2020) they suggested that the dial plate may be a replacement however we cannot see any evidence of this in the plate itself or the movement hence would be inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. The hands are well made and in good condition.The movement seatboard is a replacement although it rests directly onto the cheek uprights of the trunk at the correct level. The case has a pine carcass with the structure of the trunk surviving in sound condition. The upper section of the backboard (behind the movement) has been replaced with well-matched timber and a baton applied over the joint to the rear surface. The structure of the trunk continues part way down into the plinth base with the lower sections of the backboard and side panels showing historic degradation/wear/losses to lower edges. The outer box plinth base is an older restoration. The hood would appear to also be an older restoration. The fact that the case has a pine carcass (rather than oak as mostly seen on 'period' cases) together with the walnut veneers being relatively thin would indicate that the veneers are later. From this it is most probable that the case was most likely restored and veneered (around/onto a period carcass) during the early to mid 20th century. The surface presents in good condition with some slight shrinkage, bumps, scuffs, a few small veneer chips and other very minor age-related blemishes. The veneer overlap to the mask around the dial (only visible when the hood door is open) has some slight wear/losses to the edge.Clock is complete with pendulum (with butterfly-type rating nut) two brass-cased weights, a case key and a crank winder.Generally a very attractive example of fine proportions in working order. Please see catalogue images and further images available on request which are supplemental to and form part of this condition report. Condition Report Disclaimer

A silver figure of a Royal Gloucestershire Hussar on a rectangular stained plinth base, Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co. London 1916, with presentation plaque inscribed 'Presented to Lieutenant AW Strickland Royal Gloucestershire Hussars by his brother officers on the occasion of his marriage 4th December 1915', 43cm high in total CONDITION REPORT: the figure is attached to its ebonised plinth, so we cannot weigh the silver. The ebonising is worn in some areas where the piece has been polished. There is quite a lot of wear to the area between the front and back legs, this is from polishing. There are two breaks to the thin silver reins. The Hussah's plume(upper section) is missing. I have seen this model before, and had the plume replaced, because that example was also missing the plume. Light wear and scratches in line with age and usage.
