A SOUTH GERMAN GILT COPPER TABLE CABINET PROBABLY AUGSBURG, LATE 16TH CENTURY with engraved and pierced scrolling leaf mounts and conforming engraved borders, the hinged top engraved with a scene of Adam and Eve beside the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, with attendant animals, the underside engraved with a Biblical scene of God in Heaven, a rainbow to one side and an inebriated Noah lying on the ground, revealing an etched Moresque decorated interior above an arrangement of five drawers decorated in relief with panels of classical scenes of processions of chariots and figures, with two hinged doors decorated with maidens in landscape settings, one probably of Diana, revealing gilt copper lined compartments, on later sphinx supports 31.2cm high, 32.2cm wide, 23cm deep Provenance Alfred de Rothschild (1842-1918) the Billiard Room, Halton House, Buckinghamshire Lionel de Rothschild (1882-1942) Edmund de Rothschild (1916-2009) The Trustees of Exbury House Literature Rothschild Archive, London, Manuscript: 000/174/C/3, Christie, Manson & Woods Probate Valuation of 'The Estate of Alfred C. de Rothschild, Esq. C.V.O. Deceased, Halton House Tring'. 1918. Listed as 'A copper gilt casket, with lifting top and small drawers below, engraved with Adam and Eve, emblematic friezes of Amorini, supported by Sphinx, German, 17th century, £40.0.0.' Catalogue Note Kabinettkaestchen, literally 'cabinet box', of this type were produced in a variety of metals and woods and where often given as gifts for significant events such as betrothals, weddings and baptisms. It is perhaps significant that the example being offered here and the other two referenced below each feature a scene of a baptism on the underside of the top cover. Given the detail of the decoration and the locks to the two small cabinets it is likely that they were meant primarily for the storage of precious objects such as jewellery as described in R. Baarsen, 17th-Century Cabinets, Rijksmuseum Dossiers, Zwolle, 2000. Although perhaps a little tenuous, it is possible to interpret the use of the scenes of Adam and Eve being tempted by the Serpent and Noah a little worse for wear after drinking a bit too much wine as warnings against being tempted to steal what was being stored within the cabinet. The scene of Adam and Eve is after a 16th century German woodcut by an artist referred to as ‘Master SHF’, a version of which is held at The Minneapolis Institute of Art. The engraved depiction of Adam and Eve is very much in the style of Virgil Solis who produced a series of illustrations for the Bible from 1560.Nuremburg and Augsburg were renowned for making small scale and highly decorative objects in a variety of metals and it is highly likely that the example offered here was made in a workshop in one of these two cities. Their history and production is discussed at length in G. Summlung, Kostbar und geheimnisvoll - Miniaturmöbel und Schatzkästchen.. For similar items see Christie's, From Roentgen to Faberge: A European Private Collection, 20th May 2015, lot 9 and The Rijksmuseum, Object Number NK-17523. The casket offered by Christies, as well as the Italian example being offered as part of the Exbury Collection lot 219, are both covered in velvet and it is possible that this example may also have had velvet laid around the scrolled decoration. For similar etched decoration see a 16th century close-helmet in the Wallace Collection attributed to Conrad Richter of Augsburg, inv. A188.

A PAIR OF FRENCH ORMOLU AND SWEDISH GREEN PORPHYRY BRULE-PARFUMS IN LOUIS XVI STYLE AFTER A MODEL BY FRANCOIS-JOSEPH BELANGER (1744-1818) AND PIERRE GOUTHIERE (1732-1813) , C.1830 each decorated with a grapevine, with a domed cover with a pierced frieze, above satyr monopodia supports centred by an entwined serpent, on a circular base (2) 46.7cm high Provenance Alfred de Rothschild (1842-1918) the Red Room at Halton House, Buckinghamshire Lionel de Rothschild (1882-1942) Edmund de Rothschild (1916-2009) The Trustees of Exbury House Catalogue Note This model is based on the celebrated ormolu mounted jasper vase recorded in the sale catalogue of Louis-Marie-Augustin, Duc d'Aumont, of the 12th December 1782, which is now in the Wallace Collection. The Duc d'Aumont was the First Gentleman of the King's Bedchamber and commissioned his architect, Belanger, to design many of the fixtures and fittings for his houses. These incorporated hardstones and porcelains, many of which were mounted in gilt bronze, often by Gouthiere. The design of the jasper vase and hence the brule-parfums is thought to be based on a marble bas-relief at the entrance to the Cesi Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria della Pace in Rome. In the 18th century, it was believed that the chapel was designed by Michelangelo and as such was a building frequently studied, drawn and referenced in designs. Swedish or Dala porphyry was mined at Alvdalen, around 350km north of Stockholm, and was discovered by a vicar in around 1730. Excavations at a commercial scale, however, didn't start until later in the 18th century at a period when the Antique, as a source of artistic inspiration, was on the rise. It was known that Egyptian porphyry was much prized in ancient Rome where it was seen as a symbol of power and hence was in great demand in the 18th century. However, the shortage in supply of porphyry to satiate the fashion of the times led to a search for alternative supplies which coincided with the discovery of porphyry in Alvdalen and the establishment of an industry in the 1790's. One of these fine brule-parfums can be seen in the photograph of Alfred's Red Room, it sits on a French cabinet below the Geroge Romney portrait of Lady Hamilton.
