Graves for the proprietor, London, 1841, no 525Prince Stanislas Poniatowski (1754-1833), nephew of the last King of Poland, went into affluent exile in Italy in 1791. He was a passionate collector of antiquities and commissioned an extraordinary series of around 2500 intaglios, encouraging the belief that the gems were ancient engravings. The group of contemporary gem-engravers who produced them in Rome signed them with known or invented signatures. In 1830, Poniatowski published a catalogue of his gems before releasing two further versions containing more elaborate descriptions in 1833. When his collection was offered for sale by Christie's in London after his death, connoisseurs and potential buyers were outraged to discover that the gems were 'modern' and the sale was largely derided. All of the gems have since been widely dispersed. Today, they're appreciated in their own right as fine examples of neo-classical gem-engraving.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
