IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BUYERS 1 . I N T RO D U C T I O N The following notes are intended to assist Bidders and Buyers, particularly those who are inexperienced or new to our saleroom. The sale of goods at our auctions are governed by our Terms of Sale (for Live Auctions or Online Auctions as applicable), our Privacy Policy, the Important Information for Buyers, and any notices that are displayed in our saleroom or announced by the Auctioneer (in the case of a Live Auction) or displayed on any Listing for a Lot in our Online Auction catalogue (in the case of an Online Auction) (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions of Business”). The Terms and Conditions of Business are available for inspection on our Website and at our saleroom on request. Our staff will be happy to help you if there is anything in our Terms and Conditions of Business that you do not fully understand. Please make sure that you read the applicable Terms of Sale carefully before bidding. If your bid is successful, you will be obliged to comply with our Terms of Sale. 2 . AG E N C Y As Auctioneers we usually act on behalf of the Seller whose identity, for reasons of confidentiality, is not normally disclosed. If you buy at auction your Contract for your purchase of the goods is with the Seller, not with us as Auctioneer. 3 . E S T I M AT E S Estimates are designed to help you gauge what sort of sum might be involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates may change and should not be thought of as the Lot’s value or predicted sale price. The lower Estimate may represent the Reserve price (the minimum price for which a Lot may be sold) and will not be below the Reserve price. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT (where chargeable). Estimates are prepared some time before the auction and may be altered by a saleroom notice or announcement by the Auctioneer before the auction of the Lot (for Live Auctions), or on the Listing for a Lot in our Online Auction catalogue before the auction of the Lot (for Online Auctions). They represent a matter of opinion and are not definitive. 4. BUYER’S PREMIUM The Terms of Sale oblige you to pay a Buyer’s Premium at 25% on the Hammer Price of each Lot purchased. The Buyer’s Premium is subject to VAT at the standard rate (currently 20%).

(b) (‡) indicates that the Lot has been imported from outside the UK using customs Temporary Admissions procedures. Import VAT of 5% (reduced rate due to nature of the Lot) is due on the Hammer Price and an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% will be included in the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT on the Buyer’s Premium cannot be itemised separately on our invoices. The successful Bidder and therefore Buyer of the Lot will become its importer.

(c) (Ω) indicates that the Lot has been imported from outside the UK using customs Temporary Admissions procedures. Import VAT of 20% (higher rate) is due on the Hammer Price and an amount in lieu of VAT at 20% will be included in the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT on the Buyer’s Premium cannot be itemised separately on our invoices. The successful Bidder and therefore Buyer of the Lot will become its importer. (d) Lots which do not display one of the above symbols (referred to herein as unmarked Lots) have no VAT payable on the Hammer Price. This is because such Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme. Therefore, an amount in lieu of VAT at the standard rate is included within the Premium and will not be shown separately on our invoice or be recoverable as input Tax. 5.2 For the items marked (‡) or (Ω), Buyers registered for VAT in the UK should notify us as soon as possible after the sale so that we can correctly instruct our shipping agents to complete the import into the UK under the Buyer’s VAT registration and HMRC can issue a form C79. The charge on our invoice for the import VAT is not sufficient evidence to make a claim for the import VAT. 6 . R E F U N D S O F VAT 6.1 For Buyers from outside the UK, the VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyer’s Premium or included in lieu of VAT in the Buyer’s Premium can be refunded so long as the Buyer has: (a) registered to bid with an address outside the UK; and (b) discussed with us the proof of export we require and the timeframes to complete the export. 6.2 Once we are satisfied that the requirements referred to in Clause 1.6.1 have been met, and with the proof of export provided, the following VAT will be refunded: (a) For Lots marked (†): The VAT on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’s Premium.

(b) For Lots marked (‡) and (Ω): the import VAT and, the VAT in lieu in the Buyer’s Premium. (c) For unmarked Lots: the amount in lieu of VAT in the Buyer’s Premium.

5 . VAT The following paragraphs are intended to give general advice on VAT for items purchased at auction. We have covered the common situations, and this may not be comprehensive. We are unable to offer Tax advice and we suggest you seek independent advice if you require clarifications or further information. 5.1 Items in our catalogue may be marked in the following ways: (a) (†) indicates that VAT is payable by the Buyer on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.VAT will be chargeable at the standard rate (presently 20%) for most Lots. Qualifying books will be charged at 0%. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the Seller is registered for VAT within the UK and is not operating the Dealers’ Margin Scheme on their consignment to us.

2

6.3 To enable us to refund the VAT charged correctly we normally require the use of our international shippers to assist with the required paperwork. For private Buyers, we will only be able to refund the VAT if our shippers are used for the export of the Lot outside the UK. 7 . R E I N VO I C I N G S A L E S For unmarked Lots, you can request a Lot to be reinvoiced outside the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme.VAT at 20% will be charged on the Hammer Price and the VAT on the Buyer’s Premium will be itemised separately on our invoice. This will enable a VAT registered business to reclaim all the VAT. Please note that the item will no longer be eligible to be sold in the Margin Scheme. We recommend you seek advice before proceeding. Requests must be made within 6 months of the sale and certain conditions apply.


8. INSPECTION OF GOODS BY THE BUYER As we act on behalf of the Seller, we are dependent on information provided by the Seller about their goods. We may inspect Lots and will act reasonably in taking a general view about them. However, we are normally unable to carry out detailed examinations of Lots to check their condition in the way a Buyer would do.You will have the opportunity to inspect the goods (upon request). Where a Lot is made available for inspection, we strongly recommend that you inspect any Lots that you are interested in prior to bidding at the auction. Please carefully note the exclusion of liability for the condition of Lots set out in the Terms of Sale for Online Auctions at Clause 22.5 and the Terms of Sale for Live Auctions at Clause 18.5. 9. GOODS WITH ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS These are sold as “antiques” for their historical and decorative attributes, and for collection and display only. They are not intended for use. If you buy goods with electrical components and intend to use them, you must ask a qualified electrician to check them for compliance with safety regulations before you use them. 1 0 . E N DA N G E R E D S P E C I E S If you intend to buy goods which contain endangered species, you need to find out if there is a prohibition on the purchase of goods of that character. For goods containing elephant ivory, you also need to satisfy yourself that they have been correctly registered or certified and meet the exemption conditions under applicable legislation. 1 1 . E X P O RT O F G O O D S If you intend to export goods you must find out: 11.1whether an export licence is needed; and 11.2 if there is a prohibition on exporting goods of that character outside of the UK or on importing goods of that character in your intended country of import such as because the goods contain prohibited materials such as elephant ivory or other protected flora and fauna. 12.

CATALOGUING PRACTICE

8. PICTURES

1. Please note that all measurements are approximate and that illustrations are not to scale. The condition of a Lot is not usually included in catalogue descriptions, and no assumptions should be made in the absence of this information. Condition reports are available on request.

(a) “Attributed to”: means in our opinion it is probably a work by the artist in whole or in part.

2. CERAMICS Obvious faults may be recorded in italics at the end of a description for ceramics. 3 . C L O C K S A N D WAT C H E S All Lots are sold “as is” and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply that the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches have been repaired in the course of their normal lifetime and may now incorporate parts not original to them. Furthermore, we make no representation or warranty that any clock or watch is in working order. As clocks and watches often contain fine and complex mechanisms, the Bidder should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. The Bidder should be aware that the importation of watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches may not be shipped to the USA and can only be imported personally. 4 . D I S P L AY AC C E S S O R I E S Please note that armour stands and many of the display mounts used in the catalogue(s) and the sale exhibition(s) do not form part of the Lot unless stated in the catalogue, though they may be made available to the successful Buyer of the relevant Lot(s). Please contact us for prices and further details. 5. FIREARMS Please note that all bore sizes are approximate. 6 . J E W E L L E RY It is common practice for many gemstones to be treated by a variety of methods to enhance their appearance and the international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods. Although heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, in some cases this could affect the durability of a gemstone. Oiled gemstones may need re-oiling after a certain period. If no gemmological report is published in the catalogue, prospective Buyers should be aware that the gemstones or pearls could have been enhanced by some method. 7 . P H OTO G R A P H S In addition to the explanations set out below regarding categorising terms for works, please note the following. The date given is that of the image (negative). Where no further date is given, this indicates that the photographic print is vintage (the term “vintage” may also be included in the Lot description). A vintage photograph is one which was made within approximately 5–10 years of the negative. Where a second, later date appears, this refers to the date of printing. Where the exact printing date is not known, but understood to be printed later, “printed later” will appear in the Lot description. Unless otherwise specified, dimensions given are those of the piece of paper on which the image is printed, including any margins. Some photographs may appear in the catalogue without the margins illustrated. All photographs are sold unframed unless stated otherwise in the Lot description.

4

A work catalogued with the name(s) or recognised designation of an artist, without any qualification, is, in our opinion, a work by the artist. In other cases, the following expressions with the following meanings are used:

(b) “Studio of” or “workshop of”: means in our opinion a work executed in the studio or workshop of the artist, possibly under his supervision. (c) “Circle of”: means in our opinion a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence. (d) “Follower of”: means in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but not necessarily by a pupil. (e) “Manner of”: means in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but of a later date. (f) “After”: means in our opinion a copy (of any date) of a work of the artist. (g) “Signed”, “dated”, “inscribed”: means in our opinion the work has been signed, dated or inscribed by the artist. The addition of a question mark (?) adds an element of doubt. (h) “Bears signature”, “bears date”, “bears inscription”: means in our opinion the signature, date, inscription or stamp is by a hand other than that of the artist. 9 . S I LV E R , G O L D A N D P R E C I O U S M E TA L S Weights may only be accurate to within 5 grams. Weights shown as “(* oz)” are in troy ounces and usually rounded down to the full ounce. 1 0 . T H E F O L L OW I N G S Y M B O L S M AY B E U S E D I N O U R A U C T I O N C ATA L O G U E S (a) (□) indicates a Lot with no Reserve. (b) (✧) indicates a “Premium Lot”. For Premium Lots, you must complete the required Premium Lot preregistration application and deliver to us such necessary financial references, guarantees, deposits and/or such other security as we may in our absolute discretion require, as security for your bid. Our decision as to whether to accept any pre-registration application shall be final.

(c) (⦿) indicates items that have been identified at the time of cataloguing as containing organic material which may be subject to restrictions regarding import or export. The absence of the symbol is not a warranty that there are no restrictions regarding import or export of the item. We accept no liability for any Lots which may be subject to restrictions but have not been identified as such. Please refer to section A, paragraph 10 above. (d) (⊕) indicates a Lot that may be subject to Artist’s Resale Right. (e) (∏) indicates "Monumental". Lots with this symbol may, in our opinion, require special handling or shipping services due to size or other physical considerations. Buyers are advised to inspect the lot and to contact Olympia Auctions prior to the sale to discuss any specific shipping requirements. (f) (W) indicates property stored and to be collected from off-site storage. Please note that property can only be released once payment has been received in full and cleared funds. If you are sending your own authorised agent to collect property from Olympia Auctions on your behalf, please provide a letter of authorisation, a copy of your paid invoice and photographic ID. (g) (#) Book sales. Although these items are not free from VAT, Olympia Auctions is able to use the margin scheme and VAT will not normally be charged on the hammer price. Olympia Auctions must bear VAT on the buyer’s premium and hence will charge an amount in lieu of VAT at the standard rate on this premium. This amount will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified.

Acquired in the mid 18th century by Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, displayed in the Royal Galleries of Dresden and still on display in the city at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (No.Gal.-Nr. 408), in the past the painting was indeed commonly misattributed to Caravaggio. Albert Scherf (1876–1953) together with his brother Louis, another porcelain painter, were trained by Albert Schünze at the Lichte technical school of drawing, painting, modelling and ceramics, which had been established in the Lichtetal of Thuringia in 1862 under the auspices of the Prince of Sachsen-Meiningen.

74 A FRENCH ENAMEL AND GILT-COPPER MIRROR CASE, LIMOGES, EARLY 17TH CENTURY the oval enamel black ground 'grotesque' panel of Mercury after Etienne Delaune, the god painted standing beside a chicken under an arch topped by a pair of snails and a canopy, with flanking vases of flowers and above two jars of pouring water, the gilt-copper frame with guilloche border, shell and scroll suspension surmount and hung with a turned pendant, the sides engraved with trailing leaves, the back flat-chased with three vases of flowers on a pair of foliate scroll supports and below a winged mask flanked by drapery swags and butterflies, hinging open from the top to reveal the later bevelled glass mirror, enamel 9cm high, 14.5cm overall The enamel is based on a print by Etienne Delaune (1518/19-1583), from a set of six ‘Grotesques à Fond Noir, Dieux et Déesses’, first executed between about 1550 to 1572/73, prior to Delaune’s departure from France (see British Museum No. P_Gg-4D-66). Etienne Delaune’s designs were popular with the enamel workshops of late 16th and early 17th century Limoges, particularly as oval plaques for mirror cases. Another mirror, almost certainly from the same workshop as the present example, is held by the Cincinnati Art Museum (No.1981.145, currently on display).

84 AFTER STEFANO MADERNO (1576-1636): HERCULES AND ANTAEUS a bronze group of two wrestling figures, probably Italian late 19th century, dark brown patina with lighter high points, the central support draped with the Nemean lion-skin, Hercules lifting Antaeus who presses his thumb against the hero’s eye, on an oval base, 19.5cm high See Maderno’s terracotta of Hercules and Antaeus on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh (No.A.1981.1), dated 1620 and another signed and dated 1622 in the Galleria Franchetti alla Ca' d'Oro, Venice (Inv.No.81). A variety of bronze versions were made, probably following these models, from the 17th century onwards, but principally without the central support and sometimes with the right arm raised. For two bronzes of a similar scale to this lot, with structural supports on oval bases and Antaeus clawing at Hercules' face, see Christie’s, Paris, 23 February 2009, lot 623 and Christie’s, London, 9 December 2004, lot 109, catalogued as 18th and 17th century respectively.

£300 - 500

85 JOSEPH NOLLEKENS (1737-1823): BUST OF WILLIAM PITT THE YOUNGER (1759-1806) a patinated bronze library bust, English, circa 1820, face modelled slightly turned and raised, draped in a classical cloak, the bust detaching from the waisted socle, on a square marble plinth with bronze laurel border above the base, bronze 23cm high, marble plinth 15cm high 'Oh my country! How I leave my country!..." were apparently William Pitt’s last words on his deathbed aged forty-six on 23 January 1806. Having successfully guided the nation through the most perilous years of the Napoleonic Wars and notwithstanding Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar, the news of Napoleon’s triumph at Austerlitz is thought to have dealt the already exhausted Prime Minister his death blow. Ironically perhaps, given Pitt’s refusal to grant the artist a sitting during his lifetime, Nollekens successfully immortalized the statesman posthumously, using his death mask, as well as the portrait by John Hoppner. The prime version, executed in 1806, is held by the Earls of Rosebery at Dalmeny House. In the following years Nollekens’ studio produced over seventy further versions of the bust in marble, each priced at 120 guineas, additionally selling 600 plaster casts. Busts are sometimes encountered paired with Nollekens' depiction of the other renowned politician of the age, Charles James Fox (1749-1806). Bronze versions were also cast, probably in the following decade, although the bronze founder is, as yet, unidentified, the suggestion being they may have been by Benjamin Vulliamy.

A native of Florence, Cesare Lapini became a highly successful sculptor in the later 19th century. He sold both his own and others works to an international clientele from his workshop/gallery in the city, the business usually designated Fratelli Lapini (or Signori Lapini, ‘Dizionario degli Artisti Italiani Viventi, Pittori, Scultori e Architetti’, edited by Angelo De Gubernatis, Florence, 1889, pp.256/580), the firm apparently continuing to trade after his death, then usually designated Galleria Lapini, into the early 20th century. His similar bathing figure 'La Sorpresa' is well known, since oft repeated in both marble and alabaster, unlike the present rare model.

Bouchard' and with 'LA STELE' seal and number '4' to side of oblong base, 59cm high Henri Bouchard started turning to a more simplified decorative style around 1913, his works often featuring young women. Greyhounds were another favoured theme, having exhibited a group of greyhounds in the 1912 Salon d'Automne, the artist combining the two themes for this model in 1920. He was a member of La Stèle, the group founded to promote the work of progessive sculptors by the 'Editeur d'Art' Arthur Goldscheider (1874-1948) in the 1920s. In 1923 Bouchard executed a marble version of his 'Jeune Fille au Lévrier', which remained in his studio and later studio museum until moving to his birth-town when acquired by the Musée des Beaux Arts, Dijon, in 2012 (Inv.

104 PATRICK REYNTIENS (1925-2021) : DIANA AND ACTAEON an almost semi-circular stained glass panel executed by the artist in his studio near Stocklinch, Somerset, circa 1990, the coloured glass set with shaped lead calms depicting a woodland setting of the naked goddess and attendants watching as her hounds bring down Actaeon with a human body and stag's head, set in a purple painted wood frame with bracket feet, panel 51.5 x 81cm, frame 69 x 95.5cm Provenance: bought directly from the artist in about 1990 by Anthony Brown (1938-1996); from whom inherited by the vendor. ‘In a career spanning 65 years, Patrick Reyntiens became one of the most influential and innovative figures in the world of stained glass, bringing a painterly fluency and wit to what is a time-consuming medium.’ (Obituary by Louis Jebb, The Art Newspaper, 26 November 2021) Although sometimes working collaboratively, most famously with John Piper on Coventry Cathedral and Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral, much of Reyntiens’ output encompassed the whole process, from drawing the cartoons to the finished glass panels. In a moving letter of condolence to Anthony Brown’s widow, Reyntiens wrote: ‘Tony was among the one or two clients who were prepared to believe in me as an artist in his own right, independent of the particular commissioned circumstances… So, apart from his personal characteristics, or more truly in addition to them, I was deeply grateful for his discerning patronage to me.’ Reyntiens continues the letter with a revealing insight into the artistic process of making stained glass: ‘I have just finished the Great West Window of Southwell Minster… While I was working on the cartoons, which took about four months to complete, I had a sort of eclairage, so to speak, on the relationship of the cartoon to the finished window. When you start a cartoon and put your whole heart and soul into it, there is nothing more precious and important. You love your work and improve it and adjust it and work far into the night. The whole window is virtually complete when the cartoon is finished – or so one thinks. But gradually, as the window itself is forged from this cartoon the transparent, glowing and light-filled simulacrum to the cartoon becomes filled with life and fire, fixed for ever, unalterable, beyond a fixed point. Nothing can be changed.’

Elizabeth Atkin (b.1907) was a daughter of James Richard Atkin, Baron Atkin, PC, FBA (1867-1944), lord of appeal in ordinary 1928-44. She married J.K.C. Millar on 17 December 1932. Henry George Murphy (1884-1939), art jeweller and silversmith, began his career working in the Arts and Crafts manner but later moved to a fully fledged modern style, opening his Falcon Studio in 1928. Although highly regarded during his life-time, post-war his works passed into relative obscurity. Keenly collected today, the renaissance in his reputation was perhaps sparked by the exhibition at Goldsmiths Hall 'At the Sign of the Falcon: H.G. Murphy - Art Deco Silversmith and Jeweller', London, 4-30 April 2005 and the book published to coincide by Paul Atterbury and John Benjamin, 'Arts & Crafts to Art Deco: The Jewellery and Silver of H.G.
