C.V.O. Deceased, Halton House Tring'. 1918. Listed as 'A copper gilt casket, with lifting top and small drawers below, engraved with Adam and Eve, emblematic friezes of Amorini, supported by Sphinx, German, 17th century, £40.0.0.' Catalogue Note Kabinettkaestchen, literally 'cabinet box', of this type were produced in a variety of metals and woods and where often given as gifts for significant events such as betrothals, weddings and baptisms. It is perhaps significant that the example being offered here and the other two referenced below each feature a scene of a baptism on the underside of the top cover. Given the detail of the decoration and the locks to the two small cabinets it is likely that they were meant primarily for the storage of precious objects such as jewellery as described in R. Baarsen, 17th-Century Cabinets, Rijksmuseum Dossiers, Zwolle, 2000. Although perhaps a little tenuous, it is possible to interpret the use of the scenes of Adam and Eve being tempted by the Serpent and Noah a little worse for wear after drinking a bit too much wine as warnings against being tempted to steal what was being stored within the cabinet. The scene of Adam and Eve is after a 16th century German woodcut by an artist referred to as ‘Master SHF’, a version of which is held at The Minneapolis Institute of Art. The engraved depiction of Adam and Eve is very much in the style of Virgil Solis who produced a series of illustrations for the Bible from 1560.Nuremburg and Augsburg were renowned for making small scale and highly decorative objects in a variety of metals and it is highly likely that the example offered here was made in a workshop in one of these two cities. Their history and production is discussed at length in G. Summlung, Kostbar und geheimnisvoll - Miniaturmöbel und Schatzkästchen.. For similar items see Christie's, From Roentgen to Faberge: A European Private Collection, 20th May 2015, lot 9 and The Rijksmuseum, Object Number NK-17523. The casket offered by Christies, as well as the Italian example being offered as part of the Exbury Collection lot 219, are both covered in velvet and it is possible that this example may also have had velvet laid around the scrolled decoration. For similar etched decoration see a 16th century close-helmet in the Wallace Collection attributed to Conrad Richter of Augsburg, inv. A188.

Rothschild Archive, London, Manuscript: 000/174/C/3, Christie, Manson & Woods Probate Valuation of 'The Estate of Alfred C. de Rothschild, Esq. C.V.O. Deceased, Halton House Tring'. 1918. Listed as 'Two German silver figures of men, on circular plinths pierced with Gothic foliage, late 16th century £100.0.0.' Charles Davis, 'A Description of the Works of Art Forming the Collection of Alfred de Rothschild', 1884, p.262, no.365, 'Two silver-gilt soldiers in early sixteenth-century costume. They are both kneeling, one has an arquebus and the other a sword. The stands are decorated with a diagonal pattern border, German work of the beginning of the sixteenth century. Height 5in' Catalogue Note These exquisitely modelled silver figures depict soldiers wearing early 16th century costume. The detail is quite astonishing with incredible attention to detail to the folds of the clothing, the feathers in their hats and the characterisation in their faces. The rocky bases were perhaps originally enamelled and they are very unusual in having articulated hands. They recall a much larger German silver automaton figure by Wolf Christoph Ritter now on display at the British Museum as part of the Waddesdon Bequest. The base has a clockwork mechanism which propels the figure across a table and perhaps our figures had some mechanism to move the articulated hands. The soldiers being offered were formerly in the collection of Baron Lionel de Rothschild (1808 1879). Lionel Nathan de Rothschild was the eldest son of Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777 1836) and after spells working for the family bank in Paris, London and Frankfurt, he became the head of the London house of NM Rothschild & Sons in 1836 at the age of 28. His London home was 148 Piccadilly which had sumptuous French Louis XVI style interiors. 148 Piccadilly was home to Lionel's fabulous art collection which he had developed during his apprenticeship in Europe. The collection which was divided amongst his three sons was dominated by Old Masters, many of which were acquired from the Van Loon collection, but also featured fine French furniture and Renaissance works of art including silver and early rock crystals. The collection is mentioned by Waagen in 'Art Treasures in Great Britain', 1854.

C.V.O. Deceased, Halton House Tring', 1918. Listed as 'An Italian cabinet with architectural front, overlaid with steel plaques chiselled with classical warriors and partly damascened with gold, Milanese, 16th Century, on stand, £300.0.0.' Catalogue Note In Milan during the second half of the 16th century skilled craftsmen who produced damascened armour and weapons for noble patrons began to expand their production into furniture. Creating mainly cabinets with drawers, some of architectural form but also tables, mirrors, picture frames and tabernacles tailored to the tastes of wealthy patrons desiring one-of-a-kind masterworks epitomizing luxury. These objects made by the Milanese armourers were decorated with steel or iron plaquettes, embossed and damascened with gold and silver, depicting subjects inspired by Roman history or mythology. Sometimes they were embellished with small sculptures. One of the prominent makers to capitalise on this luxury market was Giovanni Battista Panzeri, called Zarabaglia, who also specialised in devotional objects. His masterpiece is arguably the reliquary tabernacle in the form of a church, made for Spain's El Escorial, kept in its Monastery of San Lorenzo. For comparisons to our present cabinet, see the Victoria & Albert Museum for a cabinet with very similar panels and subject matter gifted by Dr. Hildburgh, accession no. M.22:1-1952, dated to 1550-1600. In the Waddesdon Bequest at the British Museum there is an architectural cabinet formerly belonging to Alfred's cousin Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild, reg. no. WB.16. See also three cabinets in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli and a wiring cabinet in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, accession no. 1930-1-187. Literature For a discussion of these cabinets, see Silvio Leydi, Mobili Milanesi in acciaio e metalli preziosi nell'eta del Manierismo, in Fatto in Italia. Dal Medioevo al Made in Italy, ed. by Alessandra Guerrini, with Barbara Brondi and Marco Raino. Catalogue of the exhibition at Reggia di Venaria, 19th March - 10th July 2016. The Iconography The central panel depicts Gaius Mucius Scaevola in front of the Etruscan king, Lars Porsena. Scaevola, a young Roman, formed a plan to save Rome from the intruder Etruscan army by assassinating their king but he mistakenly killed the king's secretary. When Scaevola was captured, he bravely declared "I am Gaius Mucius, a citizen of Rome. I came here as an enemy to kill my enemy, and I am as ready to die as I am to kill. We Romans act bravely and, when adversity strikes, we suffer bravely." Scaevola then thrust his right hand in a fire to prove he meant his words. Lars Porsena was so impressed by his actions that he allowed Scaevola to leave and soon after sought to make a treaty with Rome. Some panels surrounding this legendary scene are also connected to the siege of Rome, depicting Roman heroes standing up to the Etruscan king: bottom left showing Horatius Cocles who, first accompanied by two fellow soldiers, but eventually singlehandedly held off the advancing army at the foot of the bridge over the Tiber. The panel above shows a female figure, standing in front of the king on horseback. The female is probably Cloelia who escaped from the Etruscan camp and led away a group of Roman virgins. Cloelia later voluntarily returned to Lars Porsena who then praised her for her heroism and allowed her to walk away again with half of the Roman hostages. And the bottom right panel depicts the ultimate sacrifice of a Roman hero with the story of Marcus Curtius: when a bottomless chasm mysteriously opened on the Forum, the augur declared it will not close until the most precious possession of Rome was sacrificed. Curtius responded that the the soldiers' courage and arms were what made Rome exceptional, before, on horseback and fully armed, he threw himself into the pit which then promptly disappeared. These panels are consistent with the Renaissance period which saw a shift towards more historic and Biblical themes. A return was made to classical Greek and Roman ethos of society and this also appeared on furniture. Many pieces showcased intricate artwork depicting historic scenes. Similar trends can be observed on parade armour created in the 16th and 17th century for the high nobility.

C.V.O. Deceased, Halton House Tring', 1918. Listed as 'An Italian circular table, with mosaic top on giallo marble tripod carved with acanthus foliage, £80.0.0.' Catalogue Note Giacomo Raffaelli (1753-1836) was born in Rome and his family were involved in the mosaic industry providing smalti to the Vatican Mosaic Workshop, the material which mosaics are made of. Giacomo studied painting and sculpture at an early age. He became one of the most celebrated artists in hardstones and mosaics and is credited with the invention of micromosaics in about 1775. He was patronised by Pope Pius XV and worked in both the Vatican workshops as well as from his own studio in Piazza di Spagna. Raffaelli executed a wide variety of objects and furnishings and attained international fame that culminated in 1787 when he was awarded the title 'Councillor of Liberal Arts' by Stanislaus II Augustus, King of Poland. In Rome, he had workshops on the Salita di San Sebastianello and later in Vita del Balbuino. Following the French occupation of Rome in 1797 and the collapse of the local mosaic market he moved to Milan to direct a mosaic workshop and school. This had been founded at Napoleon's orders by Eugene de Beauharnais (Napoleon's stepson) who became Viceroy of Italy in 1805. During the Milan period he executed the monumental Last Supper based on a copy by Giuseppe Bossi. He also produced a fireplace and clock that were said to have been presented to Napoleon as gifts from Pius VII and later housed at Malmaison. He returned to Rome around 1817-20 to his home at 92 Via Babuino (which was designed by the Neo-classical architect Giuseppe Valadier) where he passed away in 1936. Raffaelli's output was considerable. Some of his most important commissions were for the Polish court, including a portrait of the King's brother Prince Michael Poniatowski, Bishop of Poland. He also supplied a pair of specimen marble centre tables to Sir Clifford Constable, for Burton Constable (now in Temple Newsam) and the impressive 'Centrepiece of the Viceroy', probably made for Eugene de Beuharnais (displayed in the Villa Carlotta, Cadenabbia). The Attribution Giacomo Raffaelli is considered the only master of both hardstones and micromosaics. The use of both media in our table point to his manufacture. We can observe various techniques in the making of the mosaic table which also points to Raffaelli. For instance, the inner ribbon band uses both oval and rectilinear tesserae in a naturalistic floral pattern which is evident in his other tables. Other trademark techniques are also evident, including horizontal rows of background tesserae, the outlining of leaves with a single row of tesserae and meticulous execution. The use of rinceaux was a popular motif in tables made at the end of the 18th century by Raffaelli and his contemporaries, for example the pair of tables supplied by Pompeo Savini to the Polish Court at Castello Reale, Warsaw and the pair of tables by Andrea and Michelangelo Volpini at Syon House. Two circular table tops using a band of rinceaux on a white ground are attributed to the studio of Raffaelli di San Sebastianello and they are illustrated in 'Giacomo Raffaelli (1753-1836) Maestro di Stile e di Mosaico' by Anna Maria Massinelli pp.262-263, fig.302 and 303. One in a private collection, the other in the Museo Civici in Bologna. Napoleon and Roman Micromosaics Napoleon and his wife Josephine were avid collectors of micromosaic works of art evidenced by the gift of a pair of vases and a clock by Pope Pius VII on his coronation in Paris in 1804. Following the Napoleonic occupation in Rome between 1808-1814 the Vatican workshops became directly responsible to the Imperial Crown and were commissioned to furnish Napoleon's apartments at the Palazzo Quirinale in Rome. The symbolism employed on our table points to the Napoleonic style, in particular the use of a laurel wreath on the top, also the laurel and acanthus on the wonderful marble base and finally the impressive gilt bronze edge. It is interesting to speculate whether this table was made during Raffaelli's period in Milan possibly as a commission by the Napoleonic Court. We would like to thank Dr Jeanette Gabriel for her help in cataloguing this present lot.

C.V.O. Deceased, Halton House Tring', 1918. Listed as 'A pair of side tables, of Louis XVI design, mounted with ormolu friezes richly chased with foliage and with mosaic plaques in the centre, the tops formed of fleur-de-peche marble'. Catalogue Note These impressive tables were potentially bespoke made for the hardstone and mosaic plaques found on their friezes. They were displayed pride of place in the Central Hall / Salon at Halton Hose, see the photographs of them in-sitU C.1888. The quality of their ormolu mounts and their 'improved look' point to an attribution to the Paris firm of cabinet makers, Beurdeley. The business was established in 1804 by Jean Beurdeley who was noted as a 'marchand de curiosites'. Louis-Auguste-Alfred Beurdeley (French 1808 - 1882) took over the firm in 1840 and relocated the business to rue Louis-Legrand where he elevated the quality of their manufacture. Not only did they produce grand furniture but they became prominent dealers in French furniture and objets d'art. According to Christopher Payne in his book 'Paris Furniture: the luxury market of the 19th century', the Beurdeley dynasty was 'one of the best makers, their work is always of a very high quality, technically superb'. The Pietra Dura The two Italian pietra dura panels mounted on one of the tables depict dwarf caricatures taken from designs by Baccio del Bianco (1604-1657) based on engravings by Jacques Callot (1592-1635) from his book, titled 'Varie Figure Gobbi' (1612-1622). Del Bianco worked extensively for the Medici, designing objects in various media and organising spectacles. Callot's book, which was published in 1616, depicts a 16th century travelling troupe of performing dwarfs who were at the court of Cosimo II. Similar plaques can be found on a table formerly in the collection of Alfred de Rothschild and now in the Gilbert Collection in the Victorian & Albert Museum. It stood (with its pair) in the glass domed Salon opposite our present tables at Halton House, Buckinghamshire. Four plaques can be found on the Hume / Beckford cabinet at Charlecote Park, Warwickshire and further examples can be seen on a tabletop at Versailles. Alvar Gonzalez-Palacios in his book 'The Art of Mosaic: Selections from the Gilbert Collection', originally dated these pietra dura plaques to the 18th century of Opificio manufactory but more recently in his work 'Il gusto dei Principi' he has attributed them to the first half of the 17th century. Annamaria Giusti noted in her book 'Pietre Dure: L'arte europea del mosaico negli arredi e nelle decorazioni dal 1500 al 1800', most of the 17th century plaques with this subject matter are mounted in 18th and 19th century furniture. The Micromosaic The other table is mounted with a pair of early micromosaic plaques, worked with scrolling foliage on a black ground. The colouring of the mosaic matches the colouring employed on the magnificent micromosaic table top by Don Giacomo Pellicea of poultry that stood opposite it at Halton House.
