Lot 109
An impressive Victorian silver and parcel-gilt presentation cup and cover Charles Frederick Hancock, London 1872, designed by Raffaele Monti (1818-1881), rim of base incuse stamped HANCOCKS' & CO 39, BRUTON ST LONDON and Я90 Vase form, the removable cover surmounted by the winged figure of Nike, the Greek goddess of Victory, a circlet of laurel leaves in one hand and a long palm frond in the other, two Greco-Etruscan handles to the upper body supported by twin-tailed mermaids, a sculptural medallion to the back and front of the main form, the first featuring Perseus rescuing Andromeda after slaying Medusa, the other depicting the foundation of Athens, with Athena and the olive tree and Neptune thrusting his trident into the ground to create a spring, the whole richly embossed and chased with floral and foliate ornament in both polished and matt silver, all highlighted in parcel-gilt, atop an elaborately knopped spreading circular pedestal base, upon a later wood plinth, with associated twin-handled metal banded fitted case, height excluding wood plinth 86.5cm, weight 236oz. Footnotes: The design and manufacture of grand presentation silver reached the peak of its popularity in the mid-19th century. At the top end of the silver market, sculptural trophies and testimonials dominated this period; trophies awarded for competitive achievements such as horse racing, and testimonials presented to worthy individuals. 'These silver sculptures, bulky, glittering and proud, celebrated the achievements of the Victorian industrialist, soldier and sportsman and demonstrated the virtuoso skills and techniques of the contemporary silversmith' (Patterson, p.59). The subject matter chosen for these pieces was always on an epic scale, often figural compositions featuring dramatic mythological tales or key historical moments. Heroes from history were frequently staged in mounted combat against man or beast, often within a battle scene or historical diorama. Whatever the scene portrayed, each element was meticulously designed and modelled, with every minuscule detail intricately cast and hand-chased for absolute realism. These trophies were a vehicle to not only showcase silver as a national art form, but also to symbolise and represent Britain's place as a trailblazing manufacturing nation in the industrial age – art and industry combined to spectacular effect. The Hancock silver presentation trophy cup and cover on offer is therefore a superb example, as it fulfils all the above criteria. The goldsmith Charles Frederick Hancock (British, 1807-1891), the prestigious manufacturing retail silversmith and jeweller of Bruton Street and Bond Street in London, was known for the 'manufacture of plate and jewellery of a superior class, and is extensively patronised by the nobility and gentry, being noted for the taste and quality of its productions. Artists of celebrity are engaged as modellers of groups and designs for ... presentation pieces, racing prizes, &c. Among the modellers may be noted especially H. H. Armstead R.A.; C. B. Birch A. R. A.; Signor Raffaele Monti; Eugene (Lamy) and Marshall Wood' (Gilda Aurifabrorum, p. 97). Hancock had previously been a partner at Hunt & Roskell, but the partnership had been short-lived and he had left to set up on his own. Such was the quality of his work that on 13th August 1849, only eight months after establishing his own business, he was awarded the Royal Warrant of appointment from Queen Victoria. He was blessed with patronage from gentry, celebrities and the nobility of Europe, topped by being awarded the sole manufacturing rights to the Victoria Cross in 1856. Hancock was particularly well known for specialising in high quality trophy and presentation plate, for which he won numerous medals at the respected International Exhibitions: the Council Medal 1851; Gold Medal d'Honneur Paris 1855; Juries prize medal 1862; gold and silver medals Paris 1867 and Vienna 1872. Collaborating with famous artists and sculptors of the day was an award-winning business strategy and one he successfully employed on this piece, engaging the services of both Raffaele Monti (1818-1871) and Owen Jones (1809-1874). The cup and cover on offer appears to have had various incarnations, being one of Hancock's most popular and impressive presentation pieces. From research, it becomes apparent that this design was commissioned on a number of occasions, but was always subtly altered to an individual's specification - hence no two appear to be the same. The formative design for the current lot appears to originate from the 'Goodwood Races: The Chesterfield Cup' of 1866. The drawing of it in the 'Illustrated London News' (18th August 1866) shows it to be almost identical to this one, differing in a few aspects such as the absent mermaids by the handles, and the plinth (see fig. 1). The accompanying text describes it thus: 'It is a large silver vase manufactured by Messrs. C. F. Hancock, Son, & Co. It is oval shaped, with Greco-Etruscan handles, and surmounted by a winged figure of Victory, holding a palm-leaf in one hand and a laurel crown in the other. On each side is a medallion, one representing Perseus riding on the winged horse Pegasus to liberate the captive Andromeda; the other, Neptune creating the horse by striking the ground with his trident. These medallions and the statuette were designed and modelled by Signor Monti ... The rich ornamentation of the neck, handles and other parts was designed by Mr. Owen Jones.' The following year, what is described as the 'Goodwood Cup, 1866' is illustrated in 'The Art-Journal Catalogue of The Paris Universal Exhibition 1867' page 316, where the cup now 'includes' the mermaids by the handles (fig. 2); it may be that it was felt the aesthetic balance of the piece was improved by the addition. The version on offer here is possibly the one illustrated from that 1867 exhibition and later hallmarked, the only difference being that the original plinth is missing. Hancock's notably received a gold medal for their pieces in the Exhibition that year. Further investigation has also uncovered that a very similar cup and cover was later exhibited in the 1871 London Exhibition (fig. 3). On this example the cover finial is different, and the two main scenes (also by Monti) instead depict the signing of the Magna Carta; a fitting subject, as the cup is described as a testimonial to 'W.H. Smith, M.P. for Westminster' from his constituents. In addition, a further comparable model sold at Sotheby's London as Lot 139, on May 20th, 2020, titled 'The Royal London Yacht Club Jubilee Cup', which was originally awarded in 1887. As specified in 'The Art-Journal Catalogue' earlier cited, the designer and modeller of this lot is Raffaele Monti (1818-1871) a sculptor, author and poet, who was born in Switzerland. He studied under his father, Gaetano Monti (1776–1847) of Ravenna, a pupil of Bertel Thorvaldsen, who worked on Milan Cathedral and on monuments initiated under Napoleon. Monti moved to London in 1846 where he executed a marble sculpture of a Veiled Vestal Virgin for the Duke of Devonshire, which the Duke displayed in his villa west of London, known as Chiswick House.

Lot 130
Sir Alfred Gilbert, M.V.O., R.A (British 1854-1934): A patinated bronze figure of 'An Offering to Hymen'The youthful nude maiden with downcast serene expression, her fringed hair arranged in a low bun at the nape of her neck, her hands outstretched in tribute, raised on an octagonal shallow plinth with winged figures and masks to each corner, now lacking the figure's offering, 29cm high overallFootnotes:There are a number of versions of this statuette including one in the Winchester Museum and one at the Victoria and Albert Museum. In some versions the figure holds a sprig of hawthorn, a goblet, a flower, a small figure of Anteros (god of unrequited love and brother of Eros) or a putto with an inverted torch as an offering to Hymen the god of marriage.An Offering to Hymen (or Young Girl with Votive to Hymen -to use it's catalogue title) was conceived in Rome in 1884. Upon his return to London Gilbert modelled the statue from one of the three Miss Pettigrews - Hetty, Lily and Rose. The professional model sisters had posed for a number of prolific artists including Leighton, Whistler, Poynter, Holman Hunt and Millais. The bronze cast was exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery for the first time in 1886.Before the discovery of the full-size cast of 'Offering to Hymen' (30ins high overall) the work was looked upon as one of Gilbert's relatively minor works. However it is now apparent that Gilbert conceived the work as an equal third statue in the progression from Perseus to Icarus which depicted adolescents facing the passage from youth to maturity. Thus the statuette takes on a new level of nuance, the young woman's stance appears rigid conveying both anxiety and solemnity. LiteratureS. Beattie, The New Sculpture, New Haven and London, 1983, p. 143, pl. 134 (another cast).R. Dorment, Alfred Gilbert, New Haven and London, 1985, p. 68. pl. 32 (another cast).R.

Lot 96
An important George III mahogany, tulipwood, harewood, ebony, purplewood, rosewood and fruitwood inlaid, marquetry and parquetry architectural tea caddy attributed to William Potter of Cornhill, London Circa 1785 Inlaid in the form of a Georgian house, the front and reverse each centred by steps leading to a portico with Ionic columns, the raised hinged lid comprised of inlaid overlapping lozenges within three tablets, the roundel inset with a compass star within an eared quarter veneered cartouche with foliate angles, the reverse of the lid inlaid with two end tablets each inlaid with a conforming compass star flanking a central rosette, with a chequered border and a Greek key pattern surround, enclosing a divided mahogany interior with three hinged lidded and lead-lined canisters, each canister lid inlaid with two lozenge tablets flanking a central tablet, the two end lids each inlaid with a patera-inset roundel and the central lid with the Royal crown, on a plinth base, the underside of the canisters inscribed respectively from left to right: 'L', 'M' and 'R' 25.5cm wide, 12.5cm deep, 16.5cm high (10in wide, 4 1/2in deep, 6in high) Footnotes: The fashion for tea caddies and other boxes in the form of houses or other decorative buildings emerged in the last quarter of the 18th century and continued into the 19th century. The early caddies featured fine marquetry and parquetry inlaid decoration including a plethora of timbers and great attention was paid to architectural detailing including windows, mouldings, brickwork and rustic quoins. The majority of these caddies were made in the form of generic Palladian villas and imposing townhouses but it is possible that some specific commissions copied the exteriors of their owners own residences. Of this small group of caddies, the most famous and well documented example is an extraordinarily fine and rare caddy dating from 1786 modelled on Carlton House which was the then London home of the Prince Regent. Designed by the architect Henry Holland, the house was constructed in 1783 and demolished in 1826. The caddy was made by the cabinet maker William Potter of Cornhill and was sent by its maker to George III for his inspection. It was then subsequently raffled with fifty subscribers paying two guineas each. The subscribers included prominent aristocrats and figures of the day including Prince Augustus Frederick, the Dukes of York, Queensberry and Cornwall and Lady Elizabeth Foster together with Lord Nelson's mistress Lady Hamilton. However, ironically the caddy was won by Potter himself who had purchased several tickets. Now in the collection of the Museum of London (A7547/1), it features particularly fine inner tea cannisters which were also are inlaid with architectural detail and windows so that when they are removed from the caddy they become subsidiary pavilions flanking the main house. This caddy also features fully signed inset mother of pearl discs bearing Potters name and the date of manufacture, presumably as a form of self promotion. The offered lot can be attributed to William Potter by way of comparison to the Museum of London example due the stylistic similarities of its design and the fineness of its construction. Interestingly, although the exterior of the three inner cannisters are plainer than the two inner cannisters of the Museum of London example, the central cannister features a crown motif to its lid suggesting that it may have been commissioned from Potter by an aristocratic supporter of George III or perhaps even a member of the Royal Family in homage to the monarch. A comparable caddy, almost certainly also by Potter, was sold by Sothebys, London, Important English Furniture (including the Robert Harman collection of late 18th and early 19th century tea caddies), 12 November 1999, lot 40. Literature Stevens, Richenburg & Walkling, A, K & G, edts., The Story of British Tea Chests and Caddies: Social History and Decorative Techniques, Pub. ACC Art Books, 2022, p. 130, fig. 511a & 511b.
