AFTER THE ANTIQUE- A RARE TERRACOTTA STATUE OF THE CAPITOLINE FLORA BY THE PULHAM POTTERY, LATE 19TH CENTURY On associated Blashfield pedestal base, figure stamped PULHAM BROXBOURNE, pedestal hand inscribed J M Blashfield, Stamford Figure 167cm high, approximately 255cm high overall, base 69 by 69cm This rare Pulham figure of the Capitoline Flora, goddess of flowers and the season of spring and fertility, does not appear in either of the early 20th century Pulham catalogues, suggesting that it was a one off commission, perhaps in emulation of earlier examples such as the Coade figure held at Basildon Park, Berkshire or Filippo della Valle's version in marble commissioned by the Adam brothers for Syon House. The Capitoline Flora was discovered in 1744 in the Pecile of Villa Adriana and was placed in the Capitoline Museum in Rome. In 1797 it was ceded to the French under the terms of the Treaty of Tolento and put on display in the Musee Centrale des Arts in Paris before being returned to the refurbished Capitoline Museum in 1816 where she still stands in the Palazzo Nuovo. The Pulham company was established in 1820 and in 1845 James Pulham & Son set up a manufactory in Broxbourne making terracotta and cast stone garden ornaments. From this base the firm expanded into landscape design, creating beautiful artificial landscapes with rustic waterways, rocky streams, grottoes and tunnels. The Pulhams are known to have produced work for at least 170 sites around the UK, from public parks and gardens to large private gardens and received two royal warrants, the first in 1895 for work at Sandringham for HRH The Prince of Wales, the second for work at Buckingham Palace in 1903. Condition Report: The figure: Restorations to base edges, the hands/arms and possibly neck and areas of raised detailing. Some later washes of colour. Old cracks visible to reverse. Base: with cracks and weathering edge and corner losses and wear Please see additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.

A RARE PAIR OF GEORGE III COADE STONE FIGURAL CANDELABRA BY ELEANOR COADE, LAMBETH, LATE 18TH CENTURY The design attributed to John Bacon, one modelled as a Vestal the other as a Sibyl, each holding a candle branch socket, on circular plinth, both stamped 'COADE LAMBETH" to plinths, stamped Coade to the undersides, monogrammed with an 'R' inside the torsos approximately 140cm high to top of lights, bases 43.5cm diameter Eleanor Coade (d.1821) opened her Lambeth Manufactory for ceramic artificial stone in 1769 and appointed the sculptor John Bacon as its manager two years later. With proven durability of her product (other makers work was seen to disintegrate within a few frosts) she was soon employed by a large number of the leading late 18th century architects. From about 1777 she began her engraved designs, which were published in 1784 in a catalogue of over 700 items entitled "A Descriptive Catalogue of Coade's Artificial Stone Manufactory". The design for this rare pair of figures feature twice- firstly as numbers 4 and 5- a Vestal and "Sybil" and subsequently and with the addition of candle branches as "Statues to hold Light" and depicted in the 1784 catalogue as numbers 34 and 35, £16.6.0 each. By the time of the 1799 publication "Coade's Gallery, or, Exhibition in artificial stone" the descriptions were expanded to reflect the growing taste for Neoclassicism. Where possible the sculptor's names were indicated and the Sybil is referred to as being inspired or derived from the one "in the Barbarini collection" (Mrs Coade's spelling). These two figures were among the successful designs of the Lambeth artificial stone manufacture and similar pairs of figures (with and without candle branches) adorn both interiors and exterior settings such as the main gate posts of Malvern Hall, Solihull. Condition Report: As is not uncommon with these type of Coade figures these have both been restored- predominately to bases- one to neck, toes and raised details, urn etc - with scattered other spot fills and repairs. The repairs are largely skilled professional with tinted wash to accord with colourway and obscure repairs. Under UV the wash hides most of the remedial work- some signs of a prior painted surface visible to crevices and recesses. There are also indications of other perhaps less skilled repairs- notably to reverse of one figure's gown area. The branches are later, chips and losses to base edges. Figure with left arm up has crack to crook of arm. Please see additional images for visual references to condition which form part of this condition report.

AFTER ANTONIO CANOVA (1757-1822) A MARBLE FIGURE OF HEBE MID 19TH CENTURY Set on original stone pedestal Figure 163.5cm high, 250cm high overall Hebe is among Antonio Canova's most successful and recognisable models. From its conception in 1795 it was praised for its originality with the composition and depiction of a classical subject not based on an antique model but invented by Canova himself. Canova let Hebe glide down from the clouds, pouring the wine she served to the gods. It is possible that in its original state- this figure may have been holding a ewer in her right hand and cup in her left. The presence of the tree trunk indicates it is taken from the third state onwards of Canova's composition- akin to the Chatsworth example from 1808. However the presence of the necklace and diadem indicates the sculptor has knowledge of the fourth version executed for the Countess Veronica Guarini di Forli in 1816/1817. The quality of this example would suggest that it was made not long after the sculptor's death and it still bears the marble strengtheners between the fingers which would normally be filed off after transport from Italy to the U.K. RELATED LITERATUREG.C.
