Lot 319
An Italian late 16th/early 17th century carved walnut credenzaprobably of Tuscan originThe rectangular top with a fluted edge moulding, above three panelled entrelac carved frieze drawers interspersed with four strap-fluted scrolled corbel angles, over three ovolo and bead-and-reel moulded panelled doors, the two end doors applied with large carved lion mask handles, enclosing one shelf, interspersed by four stop-fluted Tuscan pilasters, each panelled end carved with a large central flowerhead roundel, on a stop-fluted plinth base terminating in lion paw feet, the top rests loose, the underside of the top is applied with a 19th century paper label with an ink inscription which reads: 'Sgr. Giuseppe Bellini, Firenze', 209cm wide x 64cm deep x 109cm high, (82in wide x 25in deep x 42 1/2in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceDuring the late 19th century the present lot was evidently acquired by Irene von Hildebrand, wife of the major German sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand (1847-1921), while the couple lived in the then secularized monastery of San Francesco in Florence. Irene Schauffelen (her maiden name) had married Adolf in 1877. This credenza was apparently purchased by Irene from Giuseppe Bellini who was a major antiques dealer based in Florence. In fact the Bellini family, who today have been involved in the fine and decorative arts for well over 250 years, had by that time already established themselves as arguably one of the most important dynasties within the realm of Italian antiques. During the 1890s, or perhaps just prior to then, this walnut cabinet was most likely re-located to Munich in tandem with the von Hildebrands, since the Wittelsbacher Brunnen (an impressive Neoclassical fountain sculpture) in Lenbachplatz, which was designed by Adolf von Hildebrand, actually underwent construction in that city over the period 1893-1895. The offered lot is then listed as 'ein italienisches grosses buffet mit lowenkopfen' in an inventory, dated 18 January 1921, undertaken at the Munich estate of the von Hildebrands following Adolf's death.It re-appears in the will of Irene Georgii, recorded as 'I grosses alt italienisches buffet mit lowenkopfen, Renaissance, sehr wert voll', forming part of a 1936 inventory produced in Kleinhohenrain.Thereafter, this Italian late Renaissance low cabinet passed by descent within the same family. Irene Georgii bequeathed it to her daughter, Maria, whose surname after marriage changed to Wetzel. Subsequently Maria's son, Johannes Wetzel, inherited this piece following her death in 1990.Remarkably the previous owner, Dr Johannes Wetzel, is the grandson of Irene Georgii and thus by extension the great grandson of Adolf von Hildebrand.ComparablesA late Renaissance walnut credenza, which is dated 1550-1600, forms part of the Victoria and Albert Collection, No. 1375:1-1904, http://collections.vam.ac.uk. As with the present example this closely related piece was probably made in Tuscany. They share numerous characteristics in common which include; conforming stop-fluted Tuscan pilasters; a virtually identical drawer and door configuration; similar bead-and-reel moulded panelling and fluted scrolled corbel angles; related low relief entrelac or guilloche frieze decoration; while their plinth bases and lion paw feet are also very alike.Nonetheless, there is an interesting and potentially important variation between these two models, as is to be expected. Unlike the rather plain turned roundel door handles evident on the Victoria and Albert model, the present low cabinet incorporates two highly characterful and beautifully carved large lion masks. These appear to be a rare feature on credenzas of this type and possibly allude to some crest device or coat of arms element, perhaps in reference to the original family who commissioned it for their home.For a further, albeit slightly plainer, comparable see G. Chiesa, Il Cinquecento, 1972, Milan, fig. 25, p. 30. Adolf von HildebrandHildebrand, who worked predominantly in the Neoclassical style, first learned sculpture at the Fine Arts Academy of Nuremberg before being taught by Kaspar von Zumbusch at the Munich Academy, and then finally studying under Rudolf Siemering in Berlin. By 1873 Adolf had moved to Florence where he resided, as previously mentioned, at a former Franciscan monastery which had been founded during the 16th century. In the same year, the sculptor assisted his friend Hans von Marees (1837-1887) by designing the architectural framework for von Marees' painted murals housed in the library of the German Marine Zoological Institute, located in Naples.Although officially resident in Italy during the period 1873-1897, it is clear that from 1890 von Hildebrand lived mostly in Munich, since the vast majority of works he was commissioned to make from that time onwards were in Germany. Despite the fact that during his life the sculptor produced a total of five impressive and immense fountains, he is arguably principally renowned for the Wittelsbacher Brunnen and the Bismarck monument, Bremen, the latter of which was completed before 1910. In his Das Problem der Form in der Bildenden Kunst ('The Problem of Form in Painting and Sculpture'), which was published in 1893, von Hildebrand espoused the aesthetic autonomy of sculpture from painting. And this ideal or doctrine essentially formed the basis for most 20th century sculptural movements and consequently it is now justly considered of major importance. In 1904 Hildebrand received his ennoblement from the King of Bavaria, www.britannica.com & en.wikipedia.orgThis lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Lot 99
An Irish George III satinwood, sycamore, kingwood, tulipwood, purplewood and marquetry demi-lune commodein the manner of William Moore of DublinCirca 1780, the top inlaid with a sand shaded oval fan patera encompassed by two berried flowerhead roundels, a scrolled foliate-issuing palmette, a demi-lune sunflower rosette and two fan angles, above a rosette roundel and anthemia inlaid frieze centred by an oval fan, with flute inlaid angles, incorporating one long mahogany-lined drawer, over a pair of doors each inlaid with a sand shaded oval fan patera, enclosing one shelf, flanked by two panels each inlaid with a patera within an oval, interspersed by projecting pilasters, terminating in square tapering feet, 111cm wide x 51cm deep x 80cm high, (43 1/2in wide x 20in deep x 31in high)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe offered lot was purchased at Frank Partridge & Sons, Ltd. by Carlos Sartorius y Diaz de Mendoza, 3rd Marquis de Marino for the Spanish Embassy in London, 22 August 1947. The 3rd Marquis himself was the grandson of Don Luis Jose Sartorius y Tapia, 1st Count of San Luis. Thence the commode passed by descent within the family of the Counts of San Luis.Elements of the inlay on the offered lot such as: palmettes and anthemia, sand shaded oval fans, simulated fluting, bellflowers, paterae and berried rosettes are recurrent characteristics of the output of William Moore, who flourished as a cabinet maker during the last quarter of the 18th century and beginning of the 19th century. Also typical of Moore's output is the segmental veneering which is evident on the front panels as well as to the top of the present example.Moore trained, evidently as a marqueteur, under the renowned partnership of Mayhew and Ince until moving to 22 Abbey Street in Dublin, circa 1779, from where he established his own firm and supplied 'Inlaid Work' in the elegant Neoclassical style of the time. By 1791 Moore had moved to an adjacent location on the fashionable Capel Street, where he worked until his death in 1815. Moore developed a reputation as the foremost cabinet maker and provider of marquetry in Ireland at the end of the 18th century, whilst the furniture he produced was directly influenced by, and often closely comparable to, the exceptional oeuvre of Mayhew and Ince. Moore incorporated similar ornament and conforming classical motifs in his inlay to much of the marquetry designs found on the work of Mayhew and Ince. Although Moore's idiosyncratic approach differs from the latter's in that his decoration tends to be purposefully more two dimensional and restrained.Although evidently highly prolific, only one piece of furniture can be definitively attributed to Moore and that is a demi-lune commode, circa 1782, which was supplied to William Henry Cavendish-Bentinck, 3rd Duke of Portland (d. 1809) while he was Viceroy of Ireland. Among the various models sold at auction, a pair of marquetry demi-lune commodes and a pair of marquetry pier tables, both attributed to Moore, sold Christie's respectively London, 19 November 2015, The English Collector, lot 600 and New York, 500 Years: Decorative Arts, 19-20 October 2011, lot 567.On 26 April 1782 an advertisement in the Dublin Evening Post proudly proclaimed: 'To the Nobility and Gentry... William Moore, most respectfully acknowledges the encouragement he has received, begs leave to inform those who may want Inlaid Work, that by his close attention to business, and instruction to his men, he has brought the Manufacture to such perfection... with every article in the Inlaid Way, executed on the shortest notice, and hopes from his long experience, at Messrs. Mayhew and Ince, his remarkable fine coloured woods, and elegant finished work, to meet the approbation of all who shall please to honour him with their commands', Country Life, 31 May 1946. In conclusion, the view of Glin and J. Peill is that Moore is 'By far the most important cabinet-maker who reflected the new taste for Neoclassicism and the Adam style. Glin and J. Peill, Irish Furniture, New Haven, 2007, p. 162.Don Luis Jose Sartorius y Tapia, 1st Count of San Luis (1820-1871), was an aristocrat, statesman and journalist who served Spain as Prime Minister between 1853-54, while Queen Isabella II was on the throne. As a prominent moderate during a period referred to as the 'Moderate Decade' (1844-1854), the Count of San Luis held the important position of Minister of the Interior three times before becoming Spain's political leader. Don Luis Jose Sartorius, who was actually of German descent, married Maria de los Remedios Chacon y Romero de Cisneros and together they had seven children.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
