After Lord Frederic Leighton (British, 1830-1896): A patinated bronze figure of 'The Sluggard'Possibly cast by the Morris foundry at the time of its amalgamation with the J.W. Singer foundry, circa 1927 or thereafterThe nude male stretching, on integral square base, entitled 'THE SLUGGARD' and with facsimile signature Fred. Leighton to the rear corner, the reverse with raised cast letter and number M 1st mark, 53cm high overallFootnotes:ProvenanceBy family repute thought to have been acquired by the vendor's Grandfather when working as a foundryman at the Morris Singer Foundry in Lambeth, London, possibly prior to the Second World War. Thence by family descent. Although perhaps better known as a fashionable Royal Academy painter of the late 19th century, Leighton took up sculpture in the 1870s and today is regarded as the father of New Sculpture in England. Leighton's Sluggard, also known as 'Athlete Awakening from Sleeping', was first executed in 1882. The Italian model Giuseppe Valona who had posed for 'An Athlete Struggling with a Python' was again used by Leighton to pose for 'The Sluggard'. Although firstly modelled in clay, a more refined life-size plaster was later exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1886 and this was awarded a medal of honour when it was shown at the Paris Exposition Universelle three years later. A bronze cast of this plaster, acquired by Henry Tate in 1896, is now in the Tate Gallery. The work later became the basis for one of the most popular Victorian statuettes when reduced-scale bronze editions were made by Arthur Leslie Collie and cast by the Singer Foundry.As the base of the cast to the offered lot lacks both the Arthur Leslie Collie edition and the J. W. Singer foundry marks, this suggests that it was cast on or after the time that the Singer foundry of Frome, Somerset and the Morris Art Bronze Foundry of Lambeth amalgamated in 1927 to create the Morris Singer Foundry. This may also explain the M and 1st raised marks to the rear of the base, with a possible hypothesis being that the M may represent the first letter of the Morris name with the 1st being an indication of an experimental or early test cast at the London branch of the foundry.

A Dutch 18th century ormolu mounted mahogany, rosewood, amaranth, burr walnut, fruitwood and stained sycamore marquetry secretaire à abattantCirca 1770The grey marble top above a hinged fall inlaid with a balustrade and a canopy flanked by swags above classical vases, urns and jugs enclosing a fitted interior of six serpentine drawers with scale inlay and open compartments, the base fitted with a cupboard door inlaid with an autumnal tree, swags and classical urns, enclosing a fitted drawer, flanked by canted sides surmounted by ram's head cast ormolu mounts, the sides inlaid with classical urns, 88cm wide x 46cm deep x 138cm high, (34 1/2in wide x 18in deep x 54in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceFrom the collection of the late Cornelis Paulus van Pauwvliet.Pieter Hoogendijk Antiquairs, Baarn, where purchased probably 1993.ExhibitedPieter Hoogendijk, Les Antiquaires Au Grand Palais, XVI Biennale Internationale, Paris, 18 Sept - 4 Oct 1993.LiteratureR. J. Baarsen, 'Le Goût Français' in Dutch Furniture in the Second Half of the Eighteenth Century, TEFAF catalogue, 1991, p. 153.Annigje Hofstede, Nederlandse meubelen: Van Barok Tot Biedermeier 1700-1830, 2004, fig. 297, p. 179.This Dutch secretaire à abattant, with its classical and large scale French-style ram's head garlanded corner ormolu chute mounts and elaborate marquetry with contrasting veneers and engraved motifs, is reminiscent of the much en vogue furniture designed and manufactured 'in the French manner'. This was first advertised in Holland by Dutch cabinet maker Andries Bongen (1732-1792) in December 1766. French Neoclassical furniture by ébénistes such as Charles Topino, maître in 1773, who inlaid furniture with marquetry panels of vases and vessels popularised by designs from Vases Nouveau published by Maurice Jacques (1712-1784), was all the rage in France, England and Holland. In particular, the 1771 ban on the importation of French furniture into the Netherlands created a thriving market in which Dutch cabinet makers could create pieces in the French taste. Alongside Andries Bongen, other important Dutch makers included Arnoldus Gerritsen and Joan Lobst Swenebart. (R.J. Baarsen, Andries Bongen (ca. 1732-1792) en de Franse invloed op de Amsterdamse kastenmakerij in de 2de helft van de achttiende eeuw Oud Holland 107 (1993), pp.'s 42-43 and note 154.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * TP Y* VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A pair of impressive French patinated and gilt bronze six light figural candelabraIn the Empire taste, the figures of Victory in the manner of designs by Charles Percier (French, 1764-1838), probably late 19th/early 20th centuryThe five acanthus and reeded scrolling arms to each candelabra with florette scrolling terminals, stiff leaf collars and flared nozzles with detachable drip pans, all issuing from flowerhead cast girdles centred by reeded stems surmounted by flambe cast nozzles, each girdle supported by a winged figure of Victory clad in a diaphanous classical robe and standing on a scale cast and scrolling anthemion tapering pedestal and acanthus footed base, the rectangular plinths with applied ribbon tied wreath and classical figural mounts raised on palmette and floral cast rectangular plinths and stiff leaf foot bases, 102cm high (2)Footnotes:The theme of the winged Victory figure became an integral element of Empire design, greatly influenced by the designs of Charles Percier (French, 1764-1838) and Pierre François Léonard Fontaine (French, 1762-1853), who became Napoleon's most important architects and designers and who in turn inspired the figural candelabra produced by Pierre-Philippe Thomire (French 1751-1843) and Claude Galle (French, 1759-1815).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

A George IV gothic revival rosewood, brass inlaid and parcel gilt library table1825-1830, possibly originally provided for Eaton Hall, in Cheshire, upon behalf of the Grosvenor familyThe top with a reverse ogee moulded edge above a frieze inlaid with scrolled honeysuckle and stylised foliage interspersed with quatrefoils, on two vertical end supports, each comprised of a multiple cusped arched X-frame with oak-leaf clasped crockets intersected by a central blind pointed arched panelled stile, each stile with a central tied bundle of wheat sheaves carved in relief within a shield shaped cartouche, terminating in four oak-leaf wrapped crocketed feet and recessed castors, the stretcher is a later replacement, 185cm wide x 91cm deep x 77.5cm high, (72 1/2in wide x 35 1/2in deep x 30 1/2in high)Footnotes:The single tied wheat sheaf (set in this instance within a shield shaped surround), which appears proudly emblazoned to the centre of each opposing end support on the offered lot, has been historically emblematic of the Grosvenor family. Unfortunately, though, there is no way of being certain that the present library table was originally made for a member of the Grosvenors, nor is there any documentation to directly prove this association.However, the exuberant gothic revival style of this piece appears highly redolent of much of the furniture and furnishings provided for Eaton Hall, following its large scale redesign and reconstruction by William Porden (c.1755-1822) in the period 1803-1813, and also slightly later on during the following decade. The extensive gothicising was completed before the end of the 1820s upon behalf of Robert Grosvenor, who was, at the time this work began, the 2nd Earl Grosvenor but who would later become the 1st Marquess of Westminster. This project was enacted due to the fact that the former estate had been in dire need of renovation and was in the then unfashionable high Baroque style.In the contemporary opinion of some, the ebullience of this gothic revival architecture, and more specifically its interiors, appeared to border upon extravagance. And, in the case of a Mrs Arbuthnot, it went even further than this, as she describes the inside of Eaton Hall in the following way in 1826: '...the most gaudy concern I ever saw. It looks like the new bought and new built place of a rich manufacturer... the house decorated with a degree of gorgeousness that is quite fatiguing and takes away all appearance of real grandeur.' See F. Collard, Regency Furniture, 1985, Woodbridge, pp.'s 172 and 182.It is important to note that the renowned firm of Gillows are recorded as supplying Eaton Hall with this type of gothic revival furniture, often to designs executed by William Porden. This happened in particular over the course of 1820-1830, once the vast majority of the re-building had been finished. Indeed, an impressive gothic style bergere attributed to Gillows, circa 1825, sold Bonhams, Knightsbridge, 7 and 8 February 2023, The Connoisseur's Library Sale, lot 77. The furnishings at Eaton Hall are further discussed in C. Payne, British Furniture, 1820 to 1920: The Luxury Market, 2023, ACC Art Books, pp.'s 52-53.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TP YTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

CELTIC F.C. & LISBON LIONS INTEREST, SIGNED ORIGINAL WORK OF ART, GRAEME WILCOX (SCOTTISH, b.1967), 1992 watercolour on paper, depicting Billy 'Caeser' McNeill leading the team out onto the pitch in Prague to face Dukla in the Semi-Final 2nd leg (12th April 1967), signed by the player and the artist, dated, with Hilton Art stamp, in mount with inscribed plaque, along with a Hilton Art promotional plaque (this with three further images of their night verso) 72cm x 53cm overall Qty: 2 Note: 1992 was of course the 25th Anniversary of Celtic's European Cup triumph in Lisbon. On the 25th May, a gala dinner was held for the team at Glasgow's Hospitality Inn. In association with this dinner, a series of works were commissioned by Hilton Art, a Paisley based firm. Two artists were chosen to create a series of works, Graeme Wilcox and Maggie Daly. From these originals, a limited edition run of 100 printed copies of each were made and signed by the players, later to be sold to fans (including one that was offered at Christie's Glasgow in October 1992). Six original commissions (comprising five relating to Lisbon, and another relating to the 1957 7-1 League Cup game) will be offered individually in this McTear's Sporting auction. Alongside these, provenance can be viewed in the form of Hilton Art promotional material and a Sun Newspaper clipping - five items in total, with one of each being offered alongside each Lisbon 25th Anniversary work.Graeme Wilcox attended Glasgow School of Art 1989 - 93 and graduated with a BA (Hons). Since graduating, Graeme has continued to work from his studio in the East End of Glasgow. His work, technically traditional, has a powerful contemporary feel, depicting underlying tensions between animation and stillness. He is able to portray the transient, blurred image of one moving figure and at the same time, engage in precise photographic representation of another. Graeme has collaborated on a number of multi media projects with Mischief-la-bas-performance group and with other artists, culminating in projects at the Arches and Tramway in Glasgow and the Albany Theatre in London. He has also organised two large scale mural projects in collaboration with the East End Community Arts for Glasgow Health Board and devised and ran "Face to Face" photography project in Glasgow. This Arts Council funded project culminated in a temporary public artwork at the East End Festival in Glasgow. In 2011 he completed a prestigious portrait commission for the newly opened Conway Hall in London. Graeme's work is held in private collections in Europe, the USA and Canada and in public collections in Petrezovodsk, Russia and the Gulf State of Qatar. He is also held in the Corporate Collection of the Royal Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh. He exhibits regularly in London and throughout the UK, both in group and solo shows.

English School, 17th CenturyCharles I, King of England, Scotland and Ireland (1600–1649), head and shoulders facing right, in ermine-trimmed robes, spreading lace collar, with the Garter collar and Great George. Black wash on vellum, original gold pendant with piecrust mount. Oval, 19mm (3/4in) highProvenance: D.S. Lavender Ltd, London, February 2013; The Twinight Collection; The Twinight CollectionFootnotes:After the death of King Charles I in 1649, commemorative jewels in the form of pendants, rings, lockets and slides, were produced in great numbers. These jewels were worn by Royalists in memory of Charles I. A few had concealing lids, as many supporters of the Royalist cause wished to keep their allegiance secret. Some were presented by the exiled Queen Henrietta Maria to Royalist supporters in appreciation of their continuing loyalty and financial backing.The tradition for wearing images of Stuart monarchs remained popular during times of political and religious uncertainty, periods of national mourning and also celebration, such as the Restoration of the Stuart monarchy in 1660 when they could be worn more openly. They were later used as a sign of Jacobite sympathies after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. These portrait miniatures were not painted from life but derived from earlier full-scale oil portraits. The present lot appears to derive from Sir Anthony Van Dyck's 1636 painting in the Royal Collection, showing Charles I in full ceremonial robes.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

D'Auria et. al, Mummies & Magic, the Funerary Arts of Ancient Egypt, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, 1988, no. 78; it is noted that these small scale pieces must have been models, or votive objects. Tomb paintings depict situlae being used to pour milk in front of the coffin as part of the funeral procession, and to offer libations to the gods. The use of rock crystal, a rare and highly prized material, may suggest a royal use; indeed, another situla, in amtheystine quartz, was found in the tomb of Queen Tabiry at El-Kurru in Nubia.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
An Egyptian limestone relief from a talatat depicting Kiya reworked as Meritaten New Kingdom, Amarna Period, circa 1353-1336 B.C.49cm x 24cmFootnotes:Provenance:Joseph Khawam collection, since to 1940.Tartansky collection, USA.with Rupert Wace Ancient Art Ltd, London.Property of a Princely Collection acquired from the above in 2011.Published:G. Roeder, Amarna Reliefs aus Hermopolis, Hildesheim, 1969, no. PC161, pl. 195.Exhibited:Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2000-2011.This impressive talatat relief is a fascinating record of the removal of Kiya, Akhenaten's secondary wife, from official inscriptions in favour of the daughters of Nefertiti; in this case, Meritaten. Kiya, possible mother of Tutankhamun, enjoyed a special prominence at the royal court, as demonstrated by her unique title, 'Greatly Beloved Wife', and her depiction at the same scale as Akhenaten in royal reliefs (see R.E. Freed, Y.J. Markowitz and S.H. D'Auria, Pharaohs of the Sun, Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Tutankhamun, Boston, 1999, p.92). Thought to have died after year 11 of Akhenaten's reign, she appears to have declined from favour prior to her demise, perhaps in a coup engineered by a jealous Nefertiti, who subsequently rose to co-regent status and surely presided over the defacement of Kiya's public record.A talatat was a standardised building block, measuring approximately 24x24x54cms, which was introduced under Akhenaten with the aim of making construction more efficient. Originally, the three columns of hieroglyphs on the right gave Kiya's names and titles. These were reworked during Akhenaten's reign and now give the name of Meritaten, but as Meritaten's name and titles only utilised two columns, the third column was erased, likely by filling it with plaster. The head of Kiya is also visible, wearing her distinctive Nubian wig; an extended section has been added to the back of the head, turning the wig into a sidelock, and thereby transforming the depiction into that of the royal princess.For another example of a reworked image of Kiya see R.E. Freed ibid., p.221, fig. 57 for a relief now in the Ny Carlsberg, acc. no. AEIN 1776.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
