AIMÉ-JULES DALOU (1838 - 1902)La Brodeuse (The Embroiderer)Bronze, 29cm high, dark brown PatinaSigned and numbered 12/12; stamped with foundry mark'CIRE/C.VALSUANI/PERDUE'Aimé-Jules Dalou was a French sculptor working in the mid-19th century amidst the country’s revolutionary politics and a rising realist style in art. In hindsight there is a tendency to overly equate the art of this period with the contemporary political climate. However, Dalou readily eschewed the recognition of the academy by repeatedly refusing the Prix de Rome - a highly sought after accolade for artists at the time - despite the fact that it guaranteed commissions. Like most nineteenth-century French artists he began his training in the École des Beaux-Arts, where he studied for three years. His earliest works reveal the mastery of craft and design with highly detailed anatomy that would go on to characterize his entire oeuvre. La Brodeuse was made a year before he was exiled from Paris. Similar to many other artists and avant-gardes, Dalou was affected by the fall of the Second French Empire in 1871. He relocated to London, returning to Paris in 1879 following the end of a long period of political unrest within the Third Republic. Dalou’s career continued to grow during his exile, spending his time as a portrait sculptor, unlike other contemporary artists such as Courbet whose reputation was destroyed following his association with revolutionary politics. Completed in 1870 La Brodeuse was the sculptor’s first public success and lauded by critics when exhibited at the Salon in the same year. This present example is an interesting insight into the work - stylistic and thematically - that Dalou would go on to produce for the following decade. The smaller sculptural works such as the La Brodeuse express an increasing interest in the simple tasks of modern life. The main focus of the work centres on the woman’s hands, a sense of tension which seems to imply a taught thread. Dalou’s modelling of the seated seamstress with her head bent forward reflects an almost silent reverie at her task. Dalou’s representation of working class society always contains an element of dignity captured with beautifully observed detail. Dalou was a consummate draughtsman preparing preliminary sketches for his sculptural works, with this work cast after one of these large groups of esquisses. The bronze medium cast in the lost wax process requires an incredibly high-level of skill and craftsmanship. It is also immensely labour intensive requiring multiple individuals to create an exact replica of the original plaster cast made by the sculptor. This work was produced by the Valsuani Foundry as indicated by their mark on the base. The company was established in 1899 by brothers Claude and Attilio Valsuani who had learned their trade while employed at the Hebard foundry. The workshop was located in the southwestern suburbs of Paris in commune of Chatillon, casting mostly small works for various artists primarily using the lost wax technique of casting, ‘cire perdue ’. In 1905 they relocated to a more central location on the Rue des Plantes . They cast works for artists including Renoir, Paul Troubetzkoy, Matisse, and Gaugin. Claude Valsuani died in 1923 in his native Italy but his son, Marcele took over the running of the foundry and continued to produce extremely fine detailed bronzes until the 1970's.

1 bottle Hennessy Fine Champagne Cognac Vintage 1830 "This unique bottle has been bottled in the early 1940's probably under the direction of The German Third Reich as a part of its need to raise capital. The 1830 Vintage at Hennessy has been only used generally as part of blends and very rarely indeed as a single vintage. It is likely that Hennessy, against their own wish, has been directed by the Third Reich to bottle old Vintage Reserve cognacs as single Vintage. We include some of the detail of provenance provided by the Vendor" “This is the oldest Hennessy vintage cognac known - there is no second bottle and no older vintage. Of course, Hennessy has also older vintages still on stock bottled in glass "dame-jeannes", but these will only be used for "assemblages". This bottle of 1830 Fine Champagne can also be classified historically in a very accurate way. It came from a collector who bought it about the year 1998 from a descendant of a Swiss pharmacist and wine & spirit merchant along with several other old vintage cognacs. Hennessy Cognac have been asked concerning this bottle and answered that, although the bottle itself could not be evaluated, a time frame for the production of this type of bottle could be set The bottle is the Traditional Cognac bottle that all Brands were using until 1947. From the middle of the 19th century, Cognac was mainly shipped in bottles rather that barrels (exception being UK). The bottles were shipped in wooden crates of 12 bottles. The shape of the bottle was the same for all brands, only the labels were different. The time range "second world war" makes perfect sense for our bottle: This time fits, and the "Third Reich" needed foreign currency, which for example was procured by the trade in wine, champagne and cognac from France. Cognac production and trade in this time was under control of Germany (by Gustav Klaebisch - see "Cognac" by Paczensky). So it is understandable that Hennessy - actually specialized in "assemblages" and bottled a quite valuable pure vintage cognac for export to Switzerland. Hennessy would not have done this on its own responsibility, and economically this would have made no sense using old stock in this way. Since from 1945 to 1947 export was very small, the bottle is highly likely to be dated between 1940 and 1944, which fits well to the almost perfect filling level and the state of the cork as well as to the oxidized metal foil. After about 70 years of perfect storage, a loss of about two to three centimetres is reasonable. There are new photos of Hennessys "Paradis"(Vintage Reserve stock) Cognacs (thanks to E. Thielisch / Moet Hennessy Germany) clearly showing the year of distillation of the “dame-jeannes” and even the name of the domain that provided the cognac: both, 1830 Petite Champagne and Grande Champagne 1830 are still stored today in Hennessys stock. There is a very high probability that exactly these stocks were used.”
