Sir Oswald Birley MC, RA, ROI (1880-1952) The Dining Room at Charleston Manor oil on canvas 73.5 x 62cm Provenance: By descent to the artist's wife, Lady Birley (1899-1981), Her sale, Christie's, held on the premises, Charleston Manor, Alfriston, Sussex; The remaining contents of Sir Oswald Birley's Studio, together with pictures and sculpture by other artists..., 13 October 1980, lot 20 The favourite painter of the elite and fashionable classes on both sides of the Atlantic, Oswald Birley’s formal portrait commissions have traditionally eclipsed - what he termed - his ‘off-duty’ works. These works, painted informally and principally for pleasure, included his still lifes, landscapes, interior scenes and architectural studies. Depicting the dining room at Charleston Manor, the present lot is an informal and intimate glimpse of Birley’s personal life. Like his portraiture, the present lot does not simply represent the view at Charleston, but, through the inclusion of paintings, ornaments and fine furnishings, presents the artist as a refined and cultured gentleman. The painting is executed in oil on a canvas support. The canvas tension is slightly slack. The paint layers are in a good, stable condition overall. There are some localised areas of wear and abrasion. The painting is unvarnished and there is a light layer of dirt present. Framed 84.5 x 73cm

Massimiliano Soldani Benzi (Montevarchi 1656-1740) (school of) 18th-19th century Bronze, redish patina, traces of dark bronze patina Overall 22x8,5x8 cm Bronze 19,5x8,5x7 cm The sculpture reproduces a famous marble from the 1st century AD that was part of the Medici collection (now in the Uffizi Museum in Florence). Soldani Benzi produced bronze copies of classical sculptures from the Medici collection. His sculpture of the satyr after Medici marble was made in almost life-size dimensions for the Liechtenstein princes and, although its attribution has been debated, it is still preserved in the princes' collection in Vaduz. Soldani's foundry also reproduced smaller copies that are now at the center of attribution disputes. The replicas are characterized by the absence of the trunk to which, in the original version, the satyr is leaning, and by a reddish transparent patina typical of the ancient Tuscan productions, the characteristics present also in this lot.
