Lot 43
A pair of Scottish George III cast iron stoves modelled as Neoclassical urns, attributed to the Carron Company, likely to designs by Robert Adam, circa 1780, each lobed cover above an ovoid body cast with twin bearded mask handles, swags and foliage, above waisted circular socles, each with a circular aperture to the rear, 105cm high, 51cm wide overall The Carron Iron Company was founded in 1759 near Falkirk, Stirlingshire, by John Roebuck, Samuel Garbett and William Cadell. The model of the present urns is closely related to a late 18th century pen and ink drawing of a 'pedestal stove' found in the foundry's papers at the Scottish Record Office.The foundry specialised in creating use objects out of cast iron, combining practicality with fashionable designs. The Adam brothers were amongst the designers enlisted by the foundry, and it is likely that they were responsible for the Neoclassical design of the lot offered here. An urn stove on plinth of the same model, formerly at Compton Place, Sussex, is in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, M.3-1920, and another example is at Temple Newsham House, Leeds.

Symonds, 'Furniture in the Collection of Mr Geoffrey Blackwel', Apollo, April 1936, pp. 192-4, fig. II P. Macquoid and R. Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London, 1954, vol. 1, p. 83, fig. 11.R.W. Symonds 'A Fine Pair of Library Bookcases', Country Life, 29 May 1958, pp. 1176-7, fig. 1 P. Macquoid and R. Edwards, The Shorter Dictionary of English Furniture, London, rev. ed., 1964, p.53, fig. 7.

The centre of the pediment features Jupiter eagles flanking a bracket intended for the display of a bust. The design is shares similarities, in respect of its pediment and glazing bars with a Tuscan bookcase pattern of 1739, illustrated in Batty Langley's Treasury of Designs: or the Art of Drawing and Working the ornamental parts of Architecture, London, 1745, pl. 58. The eagles to the centre of the pediment are paralleled in Langley's design for a chimney-piece in Gothic Architecture Improv'd by Rules and Proportions, 1742 (pl. 47). The present bookcase sold Christie's 12 March 1981, lot 108, forming one of three lots (106-108) designated as 'The Property of a Nobleman'.

Lot 38
After Benvenuto Cellini (Florence, 1500-1571), an Italian patinated bronze model of Perseus and Medusa, second half 19th century, the hero portrayed standing contrapposto, heroically nude 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 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. Commissioned by Duke Cosimo I de' Medici and unveiled in 1554, the sculpture joined other depictions of other historic heroes on the Piazza, including the famous David by Michelangelo, Hercules and Cacus by Baccio Bandinelli and the earlier Judith and Holofernes by Donatello. 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 rare.Cf Sotheby's Paris, 29 April 2004, lot 160
