CARTIER, NEW YORK: PENDULE DE BUREAU EN ÉMAIL, NACRE, CORAIL, ONYX ET DIAMANTS, CIRCA 1930Conçue comme un écran vertical, le cadran rectangulaire serti d'une marqueterie de nacre blanche 'turbo marmoratus' et 'pinctada margaritifera', les index en chiffres romains décorés d'émail noir et sertis de diamants taille rose, les aiguilles assorties, dans un boîtier rectangulaire en or jaune, nacre blanche et émail noir, décoré de bâtons de corail 'corallium rubrum', soutenu par deux arches en onyx sur un piédestal en or jaune et émail noir, mouvement mécanique signé Longines no.2978568, signée Cartier N.Y, numérotée, poinçons français pour l'or 18K (750°/00), poinçon de maître pour Maurice Couët, accompagnée de la clé de remontage, hauteur 17.00 cm, largeur 11.60 cm, profondeur 8.40 cm, poids brut 2285,98 g.Footnotes:Provenance: Christie's Geneva, jeudi 21 mai 1992, lot 744, voir catalogue de vente 'Jewellery by Cartier', page 158-159.La « pendule écran » a été introduite par Cartier en 1922, rapidement devenue l'une des créations les plus emblématiques de la période Art déco. Inspirée des paravents chinois des dynasties Ming et Qing, elle reflète l'influence asiatique avec ses batons de corail et l'éventail « ruyi » utilisé pour l'aiguille des heures, un symbole chinois de bonne fortune. Ces éléments décoratifs, associés à des matériaux luxueux comme la nacre, l'émail et les diamants, confèrent à la pendule une allure unique et sophistiquée. La nacre, avec son éclat irisé, capte et reflète la lumière, tandis que le corail apporte une touche de couleur vive et contrastée, soulignant l'harmonie et la virtuosité du design. Ce design raffiné, mêlant matériaux précieux, illustre parfaitement l'élégance et le savoir-faire de la maison Cartier.Cette pendule de prestige porte également la marque du talent exceptionnel de Maurice Couët, horloger et artisan renommé, étroitement associé à la maison Cartier. Couët a rejoint Cartier en 1911 et est rapidement devenu l'une des figures majeures de la création horlogère de la maison, spécialisé dans les pendules de luxe. Il est particulièrement connu pour ses pendules dites « mystérieuses », des chefs-d'Å“uvre techniques qui donnaient l'impression que les aiguilles flottaient librement, sans connexion visible avec le mécanisme. Son ingéniosité et sa maîtrise technique ont repoussé les limites de l'horlogerie décorative, et son influence a grandement contribué à faire des créations de Cartier des pièces d'exception. Les pendules signées par Maurice Couët, souvent ornées de matériaux précieux comme la nacre, le corail et les diamants, sont aujourd'hui considérées comme des trésors de collection très recherchés.Voir 'Cartier', Hans Nadelhoffer, Editions du Regard, pages 48 and 58, 1984.Voir 'Le temps de Cartier', Jader Barracca, Giampiero Negretti, Franco Nencini, page 177, Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, 1989.Veuillez noter que ce lot est soumis aux restrictions liées à la CITES en cas d'exportation hors de l'Union Européenne.CARTIER NEW YORK: ENAMEL, MOTHER-OF-PEARL, CORAL, ONYX AND DIAMOND TABLE CLOCK, CIRCA 1930Designed as a vertical screen, the rectangular dial inlaid with 'turbo marmoratus' and 'pinctada margaritifera' white mother-of-pearl, to rose-cut diamonds set black enamel Roman hour numerals and hands, within a mother-of-pearl and black enamel rectangular case, decorated with 'corallium rubrum' coral batons, supported by two onyx arches on a pedestal of yellow gold and black enamel, mechanical movement signed Longines no.2978568, signed Cartier N.Y, numbered, French assay marks for 18 carat gold, maker's mark for Maurice Couët, accompanied by the winding key, height 17.00 cm, width 11.60 cm, depth 8.40 cm, gross weight 2285.98 grams.Provenance: Christie's Geneva, Thursday 21 May 1992, lot 744, see auction catalogue 'Jewellery by Cartier', page 158-159.The 'screen clock' was introduced by Cartier in 1922 and quickly became one of the most iconic creations of the Art Deco period. Inspired by Chinese table screens from the Ming and Qing dynasties, it reflects Asian influence with its coral batons and the 'ruyi' fan used as the hour hand, a Chinese symbol of good fortune. These decorative elements, combined with luxurious materials such as mother-of-pearl, enamel, and diamonds, give the clock a unique and sophisticated appearance. The mother-of-pearl, with its iridescent shimmer, captures and reflects light, while the coral adds a vibrant and contrasting touch of colour, highlighting the harmony and virtuosity of the design. This refined design, blending precious materials, perfectly illustrates Cartier's elegance and craftsmanship.This prestigious clock also bears the mark of the exceptional talent of Maurice Couët, a renowned watchmaker and craftsman closely associated with Cartier. Couët joined Cartier in 1911 and quickly became one of the leading figures in the company's luxury clockmaking, specialising in high-end timepieces. He is particularly known for his 'mystery clocks,' technical masterpieces that created the illusion of floating hands with no visible connection to the mechanism. His ingenuity and technical mastery pushed the boundaries of decorative horology, and his influence greatly contributed to making Cartier's creations exceptional. Clocks signed by Maurice Couët, often adorned with precious materials such as mother-of-pearl, coral, and diamonds, are now considered highly sought-after collector's items.See 'Cartier', Hans Nadelhoffer, Editions du Regard, pages 48 and 58, 1984.See 'Le temps de Cartier', Jader Barracca, Giampiero Negretti, Franco Nencini, page 177, Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, 1989.Please note, this lot will be subject to CITES regulations if exported outside the European Union.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

AFTER WILLIAM HOGARTH THE LADY'S LAST STAKE Oil on canvas 87.5 x 102.5cm (34¼ x 40¼ in.) In a Kentian frame The Lady's Last Stake was originally entitled Piquet: or Virtue in Danger and was one of Hogarth's last works. It depicts a domestic scene with a man and a woman who have been gambling on the card game piquet. The woman has lost her fortune to the army officer, and he offers to play one more game. If she wins, he will return her assets, including the money and jewels in his tricorne hat; but if she loses, she must accept him as her lover. She clasps the edge of a fire screen as she considers his offer and make a fateful decision: to be ruined financially, or morally.The details in the interior are rich in symbolism. These include a small dog, representing faithfulness, which is hiding under the table. There is a painting of a Penitent Magdalene over the fireplace. The mantelpiece bears a clock with the usual figure of Father Time replaced by Cupid , but still carrying a scythe. The cards are being burned in the fire.The painting is a copy of after the original in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York.Provenance: The Hon. Claude J.
