Works of Art from the Schroder Collection (lots 152-178 (Silver) and 272-331) The Schroder family came to England from Hamburg in the late eighteenth century and became amongst the most successful of Europe’s merchant bankers. Johann Friedrich established a trading company in London around 1801 and was later joined by his brother, Johann Heinrich, who set up his own business in 1818, J. Henry Schroder & Co. He was succeeded by his son, Baron Sir John Henry (1825-1910), who acquired works of art on a grand scale. He displayed his extensive collection at The Dell, an old hunting lodge on the edge of Windsor Great Park. The works of art offered at Roseberys have passed down through the Schroder dynasty, mainly from Baron Bruno Schroder (1867-1940) (the nephew of Sir John Henry Schroder) and his grandson, the late Bruno Schroder (1933-2019).A Paris (Locre) two-handled baluster ‘Etruscan’ vase, c.1780-90, blue crossed torches mark, the waisted white-ground neck finely decorated with arabesques including flowers, vases, cornucopiae, husks and scrolls, below an apricot-ground border between moulded gilt bands, the apricot-ground central part painted with puce arabesques and centred by two moulded gilt paterae terminals issuing scrolling gilt foliage handles, the gold-ground lower part and socle with green-shaded simulated gadroons, the plinth foot painted to simulate marble, 39.9cm high Provenance: Works of Art from the Schroder Collection.Note: An ‘Etruscan’ vase of the same form and with very similar decoration is at Sevres - Cite de la ceramique, see Regine de Plinval de Gillebon, “Paris Porcelain 1770-1850”, London, 1972, p. 2, where she dates the Sevres example as circa 1780. A vase of a different form with related decoration is illustrated by Regine de Plinval de Gillebon, “Faience et Porcelaine de Paris, XVIIIe – XIXe Siecles”, Dijon, 1995, p. 169, no. 159, where it is dated circa 1785-90.Please refer to department for condition report
A Hochst porcelain group of Der Berkrantze Schlafer, c.1770, blue wheel mark, modelled by J.P. Melchior, with a sleeping farm boy, a dog beside him and a shepherdess leaning over him to garland his head with flowers, her hoe and satchel nearby, a plinth with an urn behind them, on a rocky grassy mound base, 17cm highProvenance: Works of Art from the Schroder Collection.Note: Another example is illustrated by Horst Reber, “Hochster Porzellan des 18. Jahrhunderts aus Privatbesitz”, Jahrhunderthalle Hoechst December 1984 – January 1985 Exhibition Catalogue, Frankfurt, 1984, p. 116.Overall, the condition for this lot is good. The principal condition issue is a chip to the footrim on the right-hand side of the group – this is relatively small (approximately 4mm. x 14mm). All the remaining issues are very small and minor. There are further very slight and very minor chips to the edge of the footrim. There is a minute chip to the corner of the plinth at the reverse, and another to the reverse edge of the plinth – these are both very small (the largest is 2mm x 2mm). On the garland there are small losses to a flower and the foliage – these are extremely slight and difficult to see. There are small losses to the ribbons and to foliage of the vase (on top of the plinth) – all these are to be expected.
