VERRE AUX ARMES DE LA FAMILLE SFORZA PROBABLEMENT COMMANDÉ PAR LUDOVIC LE MORE Murano, fin du XVe siècle MATÉRIAUX Verre et émaux polychromes Pied en argent du XIXe siècle probablement italien (poinçon non identifié) Dim. du verre seul : H. 14 cm, Diam. 12, 3 cm Dim. totale : 28,2 cm Pied d’époque postérieure Ce grand verre de forme conique est décoré d’émaux peints polychromes aux armes de la famille Sforza, Ducs de Milan. Il est tout à fait similaire à celui conservé au Castello Sforzesco de Milan qui appartenait probablement à un service de table commandé par Ludovic le More (1452 - 1508) à la fin du XVe siècle . Sur deux faces, il présente un écu aux bords chantournés montrant un aigle et un serpent noir en écartelé se détachant respectivement sur un fond jaune et blanc. Chacune de ces armoiries, ponctuée d’une couronne ouverte, est encadrée et surmontée d’un cordage entrelacé et de branchages. Ces armoiries manifestent la filiation de cette branche milanaise avec les Visconti en y associant l’Empire. Le col est souligné d’une double frise de perles blanches entourant des pastillons rouges et blancs inclus dans des alvéoles imitant des écailles. Ce verre repose sur un piètement bagué en argent du XIXe siècle (poinçon non identifié) décoré de perles et de feuilles d’acanthe dans la grande tradition de l’ornementation de la Renaissance. Il repose sur trois pieds en applique de style rocaille. L’œuvre conservée au Castello Sforzesco possède également un pied postérieur. Vers le milieu du XVe siècle, les verriers de Murano décident d’abandonner les productions d’usage courant pour se tourner vers la création d’objets de grand luxe. Qualité et élégance deviennent les seuls objectifs des verriers de l’île pour satisfaire une clientèle noble dans toute l’Europe. C’est à cette date qu’Angelo Barovier (vers 1405 - vers 1460) met au point le cristallo donnant au verre, débarrassé de toutes scories, une pureté et une transparence jusque là inégalées. À ce titre, il se fait inviter à la Cour de Francesco Sforza, Duc de Milan en 1455 où il rencontre le célèbre architecte milanais Antonio Averlino dit le Filarete. Preuve du grand intérêt que portaient les oligarques de Milan pour cette verrerie, l’architecte projeta de créer une cité idéale, la Sforzinda, où les murs et le trône de ce palais devaient être recouverts de verre. C’est dans la seconde moitié du XVe siècle que la verrerie s’agrémente d’émaux polychromes fusibles. Sous l’effet des commandes prestigieuses de la noblesse italienne et européenne, les verriers vont utiliser les armoiries de leurs commanditaires comme décor principal de leurs gourdes, verres et gobelets. Citons par exemple cette « gourde de pèlerin » conservée au Museo Civico de Bologne où l’on observe ce même emploi de pastilles de couleurs sur l’ensemble de la pièce décorée au centre de l’aigle de Sforza associé aux armes de la Famille d’Ippolita Bentiviglio avec laquelle Alexandre Sforza se maria en 1492. Au regard du verre conservé au Palais Sforzesco, on retrouve dans notre œuvre toute la qualité du célèbre vetro cristallo d’une incroyable légèreté, tant dans la richesse de la polychromie de l’émail que dans la pureté du matériau. Ludovic Sforza, dit le More, est le quatrième fils du grand condottiere Francesco Sforza et gouverna Milan à partir de 1480. Avec son épouse Isabelle d’Este, il tenta de faire de la Cour milanaise un des plus attractifs centres culturels pétris des idées de la Renaissance en s’entourant de Bramante ou de Leonard de Vinci. Chassé de son duché en 1499 par Louis XII, il est emmené en France où il décède en 1508. L’engouement suscité par ce type de verrerie fut tel que les oligarques de la ville de Venise incluaient lors des visites protocolaires un passage sur l’île de Murano. À ce titre, Béatrice d’Este, épouse de Ludovico Sforza, déclare à son époux en 1493 avoir vu Place Saint Marc « une telle abondance de verre que c’en était une merveille ». En parfait état, cet objet est un très rare témoignage de l’art du verre à Venise de la fi n du XVe siècle.

CHRIST Espagne, début du XVIIe siècle MATÉRIAU Ivoire H. 42 cm, L. 36,5 cm, P. 8,4 cm Ce grand Christ en ivoire sculpté exprime parfaitement le savoir-faire des ivoiriers inspirés par le maniérisme espagnol du XVIIe siècle. La tête de Jésus repose sur son épaule droite, signe de sa Mort. Il adopte un visage apaisé, les yeux clos, encadré par une barbe et une chevelure aux larges boucles épaisses typiques des réalisations ibériques. On retrouve ce grand réalisme au niveau de ses bras parcourus de veines, accentuant toute la tension visible de son corps. On remarquera la très rare position de son épaule gauche, décollée de la Croix, permettant au sculpteur d’affirmer les modelés de sa poitrine. Il est vêtu d’un superbe perizonium aux souples drapés, bordé de franges, elles aussi très rares dans ce type de représentation. L’attention portée à ce vêtement est visible également au niveau de la cordelette qui le retient sur les hanches du Christ et nouée sur le côté. Ses longues jambes fines sont légèrement fléchies au niveau des genoux, créant un nouveau point de rupture visuel. Le déhanchement général de ce corps est très probablement dû à la forme courbe de la défense d’éléphant dans laquelle fut taillé ce sujet. Notre œuvre est tout à fait comparable au Christ de la Crucifixion du maître-autel de l’église paroissiale d’Elvillar en Espagne de la fin du XVIe siècle . On y observe les mêmes yeux fermés marqués par de lourdes paupières fi nement incisées encadrant un nez aux narines prononcées. Ce grand réalisme est également visible au niveau des oreilles parfaitement dessinées et laissées volontairement bien apparentes. On retrouve enfin ces épaisses boucles longues, finement sculptées, qui parcourent sa barbe et sa chevelure. Ce Christ, aux dimensions importantes, issu probablement d’un très grand atelier espagnol, se distingue de la vaste production de cette période au regard de sa très grande qualité d’exécution et de l’expressivité qui s’en dégage.

Civil War 15th Army Corps Forty Rounds Headquarters GuidonWorsted wool, 49 x 60 in. overall, 36 in. forked end. Red field stenciled with "Forty Rounds" and a U.S. cartridge box. Blue border machine stitched to red field, with reinforced hand-stitching along area near forked end. Gold cotton fringe hand-stitched to blue border. Canvas hoist machine-stitched to field, with inked in block letters 2d Brigd 15th.General Orders 10, Fifteenth Army Corps, of February 14, 1865, established a color coded system for the Corps` divisional and brigade flags. This was modified on April 9, 1865 with General Orders No. 21 which specified the corps and four division flags to be, "silk or bunting, five feet six inches fly, five feet hoist." The brigade flags were specified to be, "swallowtailed, five feet from the peak to end of the swallowtail, and three feet to the fork, four feet five inches on pike. The field of the flag shall be the division color and besides fringe it will have a border of one of the Corps colors, other than the particular Division color." This swallowtail guidon generally conforms to the specifications of General Orders No. 21, including the yellow fringe prescribed for the divisional flags.The headquarters flag of the First Division, in conformance with the orders, was red. This guidon, with red field and blue border, is that of the First Division, Second Brigade, Fifteenth Corps, which was specified in the General Orders to be, "field div. color, border blue." Indeed, the flag is marked on the hoist edge, "2nd Brigd, 15th A..." Color images of all Union headquarters flags, including for this guidon, can be found in the book, Civil War Battle Flags of the Union Army and Order of Battle, compiled by Gen. C. McKeever, Quartermaster General of the U.S. Army.At the time of issue of this guidon, the First Division was commanded by Bvt. Maj. Gen. Charles R. Woods and the Second Brigade by Col. Robert Catterson. His brigade consisted of the 26th, 40th, 103rd Illinois; 97th and 100th Indiana; 6th Iowa and the 46th Ohio Infantry. The Fifteenth Corps and this division were heavily engaged in the Battle of Bentonville, in North Carolina, on March 21, 1865, before these flags were issued.The story of how the Fifteenth Corps adopted their corps badge may be as much apocryphal as real. The story goes, however, that one day an enlisted man in the corps of Major General John A. "Blackjack" Logan was asked where his corps patch was. Clapping his hand on his cartridge box, he said, "Forty Rounds. Can you show me a better one?" Shortly thereafter Logan issued General Order No. 10 prescribing that the badge for the Fifteenth Corps should be a miniature cartridge box and above the box will be inscribed the words `Forty Rounds.`The Fifteenth Corps was a favorite of Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman probably because he was its first commander after its creation on December 18, 1862. Sherman commanded the corps into the siege of Chattanooga in November 1863 where he took over command of the Army of the Tennessee. Maj. Gen. Frank Blair took over for a short time before being replaced by Maj. Gen. John A. Logan who led the corps through the Atlanta Campaign. In September 1864, Maj. Gen. Peter Osterhaus commanded the corps on the March to the Sea. Logan returned to command in January 1865 for the campaign into South and North Carolina. Maj. Gen. William B. Hazen, commanded the corps from May 1865 though its disbandment in August.Union designating or headquarters flags are quite rare with not that many to be found in museums and even fewer in private hands. These are dominated by the flags of the eastern Army of the Potomac with very few western Union Army headquarters flags surviving, certainly fewer than those of its eastern counterparts. To our knowledge, no other such flag has appeared on the market in the last two decades. An exceptionally rare flag from the end of the Civil War.Greg Biggs, Clarksville, Tennessee. March, 2012Provenance: Found in North Carolina, and descended in the family of Reverend John K. Mason of Richmond, Virginia. Condition: Very Good, Mothing, fraying, the fly edge is distressed.

Rare MKI Pattern British Crimean War Military SaddleThis is a wood-arch officer’s saddle for the RHA and Artillery, although probably also used by some cavalry officers, even though the latter had the Hussar officer’s saddle. The cantle section of the wood is stamped London, but the maker`s name immediately above is illegible. The wood-arch officer’s saddle and Hussar saddle were both used over the same time period - from pre-1864 to 1903. The Hussar pattern was in use during the Crimea War. The MKI in official use up to 1889. The MKII to 1899. The MKIII from 1899 to 1903. This is an example of a MKI saddle, of an earlier rather than later manufacture.The wood-arch officer’s is often thought to be a UP1856 saddle, but the wood arch officer’s saddles have brass trim to the rear arch, and eight rivets attaching the seat to the rear arch. This example has eight rivets. The UP1856 has no brass trim to the rear wood arch and only 6 rivets attaching the seat. The tightening straps have eight holes on each side of the saddle and are numbered 1 through 8 on each side, but naturally the numbers on the near side are more worn. Both brass stirrups are stamped US.It is well documented that the CSA purchased these saddles from England and by good fortune they made their way through the blockade. The saddle was in use from the mid-1860s through 1889, so it could well be one that was sold to, and imported by, the Confederacy. Condition: Excellent.Starting Price: $300
