A pair of George IV silver entrée dishes and covers, from the Sampaio servicePaul Storr, London 1823 Each shaped-rectangular with gadroon, shell and acanthus borders, the covers with incurved corners, leaf-capped scroll handles on a splayed leafy calyx, each cover applied twice with a coat of arms below a barons coronet, bases also engraved twice with a demi unicorn argent, armed or, maned proper with barons coronet, each numbered 2 and 3, length 30cm, weight 161oz. (2)Footnotes:The arms are those of Teixeira quartering Sampaio, Amaral and Guedes for Henrique Teixeira de Sampaio, Barao de Teixeira, later 1st Conde de Póvoa (1774-1833)On 22 May 1816 the title 1st Lord de Sampaio was conferred upon him by King João VI in Rio de Janeiro. Soon after, on 6 March 1819, he was made, by Royal Charter, 1st Barao de Teixeira and was granted the right to bear arms. He was created 1st Conde de Póvoa on 3 July 1823, named after his estate in Póvoa de Santo Adrião, near Lisbon.These dishes are part of the extensive service for 180 persons, ordered by the Conde de Povoa from Paul Storr in 1822-23. This was exactly at the moment that Storr, who left Rundell, Bridge and Rundell in 1819, opened a retail shop in New Bond Street in partnership with John Mortimer. The Sampaio service represents one of the most elaborate and greatest productions of Storr's new shop.Henrique Teixeira de Sampaio died at his home of Rua da Escola Politécnica, in Lisbon, on 27 March 1833, aged 59 years. His son JoãoMaria de Noronha became 2nd Conde de Póvoa and inherited the family fortune, aged only 6. The 2nd Conde died soon after, in 1837 at which time the titles became extinct and the fortune passed to his sister Marie Louise de Noronha Sampaio.The service descended at Casa Palmela, Lisbon, the family home of the Dukes of Palmela.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A monumental 19th century Irish silver covered tankard jugJohn Smyth, Dublin 1874, incuse stamped 'Waterhouse', Helsinki 1928 import marks Of cylindrical form, the hinged domed cover with open scroll thumbpiece, topped by a large cast finial of a traditionally dressed sailor singing, seated on a coiled ship's rope, opening to reveal a cavernous gilt interior, to the exterior a leaf-capped double-scroll handle with acanthus leaf terminal, to the opposite side a flared spout with an embossed classical mask of a bearded male to its base, an applied oval armorial plaque below for the 'LEIGHTON' family and the family motto 'DREAD SHAME', the whole elaborately embossed with flowers, fruit, foliage, diaper-work and 'C' scrolls in both high and low relief, an inscribed cartouche to one side in Finnish to 'Walter Petterson' from 'The Association of Finnish Stevedores', on a domed spreading circular base, height 46cm, diameter 22cm, weight 107oz.Footnotes:The motto DREAD SHAME is for the LEIGHTON family of Wattlesborough Shropshire, who were baronets and include a descendant family of Bausley or Ballesley, co. Montgomeryshire. Notably the motto was used by Revd. Francis Knyvett LEIGHTON (1807-1881) who was descended from Daniel LEIGHTON Lt. Col. of General Evan's Regiment of the Horse and was the younger son of Sir Edward LEIGHTON 1st Baronet. The very distinctive crest above the motto of 'two hands clasping each other in fess, conjoined at the wrist to a pair of wings all proper' is extremely rare. Only one family uses this crest, albeit in a differenced form: DAY of co. Cork. The crest was confirmed to Richard DAY MD of Auckland New Zealand, Robert DAY of Cork, merchant and Revd. William Tottenham DAY of Youghal. However, there is a distinct possibility that the heraldic crest could be alluding to a Freemason ritual. In relation to this, a Samuel LEIGHTON KCT PPSGW of Antrim has been discovered, who was a Grandmaster of freemasonry and trustee of the masonic hall in Belfast in this period, up until 1938. This armorial therefore seems to combine the motto of the LEIGHTON family, with a crest associated with the Freemasons and as such seems to logically point to Samuel LEIGHTON of Antrim.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An Italian carved white marble bust of a faunessprobably Roman, late 18th / early 19th century, the model after the antique and in the manner of Luigi Valadier (Italian, 1726-1785)the young bare shouldered nymph looking to dexter with smiling open mouth and blank eyes, her hair arranged in a wavy chignon, with rusticated back, above a vacant tablet, on a waisted circular socle, 42cm high Footnotes:The offered lot is a marble copy, after the antique, taken from a little known group of 'Nymph and Satyr' now in the Vatican reserve collection. The subject, paired with a pendant of the 'Albani Faun' (now in the Munich Glyptothek) is known to have likely been cast in bronze by the Italian bronze goldsmith bronze work, Luigi Valadier in the third quarter of the 18th century.The original antique figure of the 'Fauness' seems to have become known after Clement XIV purchased it from the English dealer Thomas Jenkins. However whilst the 'Faun' became widely reproduced in many sizes, the 'Fauness' appears to have been less popular.The Valadier workshop is known to have listed numerous busts of 'Fauns' in its workshop Registro as late as 1810, including some which were specifically listed as 'Fauno di Villa Albani' although none can be clearly identified as the Vatican derived 'Fauness'. However, examples of other known Valadier bronze busts utilising near identical variegated marble socles as the ones used for a pair of bronze busts of the Albani Faun and his Vatican Fauness certainly suggest that Valadier may well have produced this particular pair of bronze busts. This suggestion is similarly enforced with the composition as the 'Fauness' is purposefully modelled to looks upwards towards the 'Faun'. Luigi Valadier is known to have restored and reworked ancient Roman art and architecture and antique sculptures, cameos, architectural details whilst the ruins of ancient monuments also served as inspiration for his own works which included candelabra, tableware, altars and centrepieces in both silver, bronze, marbles and semi-precious stones. Uncommonly for the time he produced works of all sizes from large altar pieces to intricate pieces of small jewelleryFor a comparable pair of attributable bronze busts after the antique and in the manner of Luigi Valadier depicting a Fauness and her male companion, after the Albani Faun, see Trinity Fine Art, Exhibition of European Sculpture & Works of Art, catalogue, 2004, p. 46.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

He was the son of, and succeeded, Sir James GREGAN-CRAUFORD (1761-1839), 2nd Baronet who himself succeeded to the baronetcy in 1797 and would have been the holder of the arms at the time of assay.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

After attending the Royal School of Drawing and training as a chiseler, he became the pupil of Jean-François Denière and a collaborator of Ferdinand Barbedienne. By 1830, Paillard had quickly established himself as a maker of 'bronzes of art and furnishing', first at 105 Boulevard Beaumarchais Paris and later at 6 Rue Saint-Claude, Paris. Although he initially specialised in producing small objects including candelabra and statuettes he began exhibiting at the Exposition des produits de l'industrie in 1839 and this led on to him experimenting with gilt and silvered bronze in the 1840s.The 1851 Great ExhibitionIn 1851 his refined techniques in metal finishing caused great admiration at the London Great Exhibition where a Mr E. Beres commented 'Mr. V. Paillard excels in the novel art of oxidising bronze. His silver hues are perfect and, at first glance, deceive even an expert eye...'. In the Art-Journal Illustrated Catalogue for the first universal exhibition, Paillard's entries are listed as including a Louis XV style gilt bronze clock and a group of tableware and sculptures. Additionally on page 289, a near identical single vase with goat and putto finial to the cover is shown in a black and white outline along with other decorative pieces which bears almost exact similarities to one of a pair of vases offered. The accompanying text for the illustration reads as follows:'In an early page of the catalogue we introduced two single examples of the BRONZES of MR M (sic?) PAILLARD of PARIS. We now bring forward a GROUP composed from his numerous contribution's in the exhibition. In the centre is a Noble VASE, of porcelain, in the Louis style, with bronze ornaments, festoons of flowers and figures. To the right is the well known group of THE CUPIDS STRUGGLING FOR THE HEART'. The remainder of the composition is made up of statuettes, candelabra, vases and other objects.'Commissions and ClientsVictor Paillard amongst others worked for the cabinet maker Alexandre-Georges Fourdinois, Honoré de Balzac, the Prince of Galliera, Abel Laurent, Louis-Constantin Detouche, Officer of the Legion of Honour, and Knight of the Iron Crown in Austria and numerous Russian nobility. He was appointed a member of the jury of the 1855 Universal Exhibition and in 1874, a Councillor of Paris and Mayor of the 3rd arrondissement. He also received many official commissions, notably during the decoration of the hotel of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the Quai d'Orsay (French Foreign Ministry) in Paris.Palliard is perhaps best remembered for his work the Quai d'Orsay which was located on the left bank of the Seine River. In the Ministry, the Salon du Congrès and the Salon de l'Horloge in particular display his great artistic and technical brilliance. Originally called the Salon des Attachés, the former was later renamed in memory of the 1856 Congress of Paris which ended the Crimean War. Dominated by an impressive Renaissance style chandelier decorated with putti and arabesques, the room also featured a patinated and gilt bronze clock resting on a green marble plinth emblematic of architecture and painting, two pairs of candelabra - one depicting The Three Graces, the other pair decorated with putti and bouquets of flowers and a pair of torchieres in the form of chimera, with flowers and garlands. Paillard also produced the famous clock in the Salon de l'Horloge from which the room takes its name along with bronze mounts for the impressive chimneypiece. As well as undertaking his own commissions Paillard also undertook the casting for a number of the most famous sculptors of the day including Barye, Carrier-Belleuse, Feuchère, Pradier, Preault and Klaggmann. As such he was to run one of the most successful and admired foundries in FranceRelated Liberature:Kjellberg, Pierre, Les Bronzes du XIX siècle, Dictionnaire des Sculpteurs, Les Editions de l'Amateur, (Paris), 1989; p.662.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.

This Peace Treaty was signed at the Saxon capital of Dresden between Austria, Saxony and Prussia, concluding the Second Silesian War. Under the terms of the 'Treaty of Dresden', Austria was forced to adhere to the terms of the earlier 'Treaty of Breslau', ceding Silesia to Prussia. Silesia's flourishing mining and textile industries had made it the richest of all the Habsburgs' Austrian provinces, and it was chiefly its wealth that tempted Frederick II (the Great) of Prussia to wrestle Silesia from the Habsburg heiress Maria Teresa, in the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–48). In total there were three Silesian Wars fought between Frederick the Great's Prussia and Maria Theresa's Austria, all three of which ended in Prussian control of Silesia.
