A banded agate intaglio ring, circa 1840, depicting Prince Frederick Duke of York and Albany The circular banded agate, carved to depict the profile of Prince Frederick Duke of York and Albany (1763-1827), looking right, dressed in classical military attire, engraved to the reverse HRH Fredk, Duke of York, within an oversized claw setting to a polished band, ring size R½ (band misshapen) By repute, from the private collection of a late well known London-based art historian. Hence by descent. Prince Frederick Duke of York and Albany (1763-1827) was the second of fifteen children of King George III and Queen Charlotte. Now known as “the Grand old Duke of York”, he is most famous for his military career, both the highs and lows. In 1799 as a young commander he suffered military setbacks which led to the creation of the nursery rhyme “Grand old Duke of York”. However spurned on by these difficulties, when he became Commander-in-Chief of the British Army shortly thereafter, he instigated wide sweeping reforms which transformed the efficiency of the British military. Moved by the plight of orphaned children during the Napoleonic Wars, he took on humanitarian endeavours including the foundation of the Royal Military Asylum in Chelsea, London (now the Duke of York's Headquarters).The carving of this intaglio is based on a marble bust by Sir Francis Chantrey (1781-1841). The bust was commissioned for the Junior United Service Club in 1835-36, demonstrating the Duke's remarkable legacy.
An aquamarine and diamond dress ring, circa 1955 The rectangular scissor-cut aquamarine, in a double-four claw setting, to a looping wirework gallery, between courses of single-cut diamonds, aquamarine very approx. 33.90 carats, ring size K½ (sizing band) From the Private Collection of Yolette Leconte Magloire (1917-1981). Hence by descentYolette Leconte Magloire was First Lady of Haiti from 1950 to 1956. She was a direct descendant of Jean-Jacques Dessalines (1758-1806), the former slave who ultimately became leader of the Haitian Revolution, founder and leader of an independent Haiti. At just 19 years old, Yolette Leconte married Paul Eugene Magloire (1907-2001) who would become the 30th President of Haiti. The election in 1950 was the first in the nation's history where all adult males had a right to vote. After gaining office, Magloire oversaw women's suffrage being granted. During his presidency, Haiti became one of the most popular Caribbean destinations for American and European tourists. Magloire and Leconte emphasised public works and cultural projects during this time. In 1951, the Madame Paul E. Magloire Foundation was created to establish two solid educational and professional training institutions for young girls in Haiti, L'ecoles des arts menagers of Saint Martin and Cap-Haitien. Yolette Leconte Magloire was also known for her charity banquets and balls, the proceeds of which were used to fund hospitals and orphanages. Magloire's anti-communist position helped create close ties with the U.S. In early 1955, Leconte and Magloire were invited on a State Visit to Washington D.C. They were welcomed by then Vice President Richard Nixon and were received by President Eisenhower at the White House. Also see lots 149-167.
John Donald: A gold and cultured pearl 'Drum' ring, 1969 The 11.4mm cultured pearl, within a textured 18 carat gold surround and band, maker's mark JAD, London hallmark, ring size L½ John Donald (1928-2023) pioneered many techniques throughout his ground-breaking career. The organic form of the “Drum” ring was developed from the use of what he referred to as “nugget flakes”. The unique segments came from dropping molten gold into cold water. The “flakes” were then soldered together to form a series and then rolled to form the segments of the ring. An exceptional combination of artistry and craftsmanship.A similar, but later, ring is illustrated in John Donald & Russell Cassleton Elliott's Precious Statements; John Donald, designer . jeweller, McNidder & Grace, Carmarthen, 2015, page 211. Another similar ring, made by Donald in 1976, is part of the V&A; Museum's permanent collection (V&A; ref: M.17-2006).
