£7,000-9,000

Note: The design inspiration for this pair of tables is a carved giltwood and marble topped console table designed by William Kent circa 1730, and now in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. William Kent (1684-1748) was a leading architect and interior designer in the earlier 18th century. After studying in Italy Kent was introduced to the fashionable world by the third Earl of Burlington, where he became an arbiter of taste and achieved a considerable reputation designing not only houses but much of their contents and interiors. His designs were planned to harmonise with Palladian architecture and baroque decoration, working in a style influenced by French and Italian models. Using gesso and gilt freely to enhance carved ornament, favourite ornaments in his designs are swags of flowers, lion and human masks, anthemion, Vitruvian scrolls, and broadly handled acanthus leaves. In the present examples, the entire support for the table top takes on the form of a single eagle, with its wings outstretched in a symbol of strength and beauty. Frequently presented as a pair, as in the present lot, the eagles were carved in opposition and would most likely have been positioned against piers between windows with mirrors above.

on a tapering fluted serpentine marble pedestal

the figure 42cm wide, 150cm high; the stand 58cm wide, 111cm high

Note: The composition derives from the celebrated type of Venus Anadyomene [Venus Rising from the Sea], one of the most enduring and influential representations of the goddess of love in Western art. Originating in Classical antiquity and famously described in relation to the lost masterpiece by Apelles, the subject depicts Venus emerging from the sea after her birth, often wringing water from her hair. The motif enjoyed widespread revival during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, when artists were drawn to its combination of mythological narrative, idealized beauty, and opportunity for the depiction of the female nude.This work reflects the continued popularity of the Venus Anadyomene theme among later European artists and collectors. The graceful contrapposto, flowing hair, and emphasis on the goddess’s emergence from the water align with a long iconographic tradition that includes notable interpretations by Titian, Ingres, and numerous academic painters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As a subject, Venus Anadyomene remained synonymous with ideals of beauty, sensuality, and classical refinement, ensuring its enduring appeal across successive generations of patrons and connoisseurs.

Note: By repute, this pair of lacquer cabinets formerly belonged to Barbara Hutton and was housed at her palace, Sidi Hosni, in the Kasbah of Tangier, northern Morocco. Born in New York, Barbara Hutton (1912–1979) inherited the Woolworth fortune and, from an early age, ranked among the world’s wealthiest women. A near contemporary of fellow heiress Doris Duke, Hutton pursued a highly cosmopolitan lifestyle, maintaining homes in New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, and Mexico. She was widely known as a collector, philanthropist, and prominent social figure. Although celebrated for her immense wealth, she was famously labelled the “poor little rich girl” and experienced a turbulent personal life, marrying and divorcing seven times while also struggling with addiction. After her divorce from actor Cary Grant, her third husband, in 1945, Hutton purchased the Sidi Hosni palace, an extensive residence formed from seven interconnected houses in the heart of Tangier. The property soon became her favoured sanctuary and a gathering place for many of the era’s most fashionable visitors. Her presence helped reinforce Tangier’s reputation as an alluring destination for the international elite. Local lore even suggests that she convinced city officials to enlarge the historic gateway to the old town so that her Rolls-Royce could pass through with ease. Hutton furnished Sidi Hosni with works of art and antiques sourced largely from Paris and London. Following her death in 1979, the contents of the palace were dispersed through a series of sales.

A GRECIAN GILT AND GRAIN-PAINTED PEDAL HARP BY SEBASTIEN

ÉRARD

EARLY 19TH CENTURY

double action with forty-three strings and eight pedals, the brass mounted neck engraved ‘Sebastian Érard, Patent 4543, 18 Marlborough Street London’ and on the reverse ‘Sebastian Erard/ Harp & Piano forte Maker in Ordinary to her Majesty and the ROYAL FAMILY’’ the base with Neo-Grecque motifs, the fluted pillar with a caryatid capital, on paw feet

84cm wide, 171cm high, 48cm deep

£2,000-3,000

Note: Sébastien Érard (1752–1831) was a renowned French instrument maker whose innovations transformed the development of both the piano and the harp. Best known for helping to establish the foundations of the modern piano, Érard attracted prestigious patrons, including Marie Antoinette, who commissioned a transposing piano to assist with her vocal training.Working alongside his brother Jean-Baptiste, Érard formalised their partnership in 1788 under the name Érard Frères. That same year, the firm produced 254 fortepianos, reflecting the growing success of the business. Although headquartered in Paris, the political instability leading up to the French Revolution prompted the establishment of a second workshop and office at 18 Great Marlborough Street in London. Operations were based there until Sébastien returned to Paris in 1796, after which production continued in both cities, with Érard dividing his time between them.Érard is particularly celebrated for his contributions to harp design. In 1794, he secured the first English patent for an improved single-action harp, at a time when most harps used in England were imported from France. His most significant achievement followed in 1810 with the patenting of the double-action harp mechanism. Incorporating seven pedals, this innovation enabled players to both sharpen and flatten strings, greatly expanding the instrument’s musical possibilities. The invention established the harp as a sophisticated and versatile instrument capable of supporting both solo and orchestral repertoire.

Large numbers of such requests are received shortly before each sale and department specialists and administration will endeavour to respond to all requests although we offer no guarantee. Any statement in relation to the Lot is merely an expression of opinion of the Seller or us and should not be relied upon as an inducement to bid on the Lot. Lots are available for inspection prior to the sale and You are strongly advised to examine any Lot in which You are interested prior to the sale. Our Condition Reports are not prepared by professional conservators, restorers or engineers. Our Condition Report does not form any contract between us and the Buyer. The Condition Reports do not affect the Buyer’s obligations in any way.

(b) Estimates: Estimates are placed on each Lot to help Buyers gauge the sums involved for the purchase of a particular Lot. Estimates do not include the Buyer’s Premium or VAT. Estimates are a matter of opinion and prepared in advance. Estimates may be subject to change and are for guidance only and should not be relied upon.

(c) Catalogue Alterations: Lot descriptions and Estimates are prepared in advance of the sale and may be subject to change. Any alterations will be announced on the Catalogue alteration sheet, made available prior to the sale. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to make themselves aware to any alterations which may have occurred.

A3.

WITHDRAWAL

Lyon & Turnbull may, at its discretion, withdraw any Lot at any time prior to or during the sale of the Lot. Lyon & Turnbull has no liability to You for any decision to withdraw.

A4. JEWELLERY, CLOCKS & OTHER ITEMS

(a) Jewellery:

(i) Coloured gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires and emeralds) may have been treated to enhance their look, through methods such as heating and oiling. These methods are accepted practice but may make the gemstone less strong and/or require special care in future.

(ii) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemmological report for any Lot which does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three weeks before the date of the sale and You pay the fee for the report in advance of receiving said

report.

(iii) We do not obtain a gemmological report for every gemstone sold in our sales. Where we do get gemmological reports from internationally accepted gemmological laboratories, such reports may be described in the Sale Particulars. Reports will describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but will confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree whether a particular gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment or whether treatment is permanent. The gemmological laboratories will only report on the improvements or treatments known to the laboratories at the date of the report.

(iv) For jewellery sales, all Estimates are based on the information in any gemmological report or, if no gemmological report is available, You should assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

(b) Clocks & Watches: All Lots are sold “as seen”, and the absence of any reference to the condition of a clock or watch does not imply the Lot is in good condition and without defects, repairs or restorations. Most clocks and watches will have been repaired during their normal lifetime and may now incorporate additional/newer parts. 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, Buyers should be aware that a general service, change of battery or further repair work, for which the Buyer is solely responsible, may be necessary. Buyers should also be aware that we cannot guarantee a watch will remain waterproof if the back is removed. Buyers should be aware that the importing watches such as Rolex, Frank Muller and Corum into the United States is highly restricted. These watches cannot be shipped to the USA and only imported personally. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights or keys.

(c) Alcohol: may only be sold to persons aged of 18 years and over. By registering to bid, You affirm that You are at least that age. All collections must be signed for by a person over the age of 18. We Reserve the right to ask for ID from the person collecting. Buyers of alcohol must make appropriate allowances for natural variations of ullages, conditions of corks and wine. We can provide no guarantees as to how the alcohol may have been stored. There is always a risk of cork failure and allowance by the Buyer must be made. Alcohol is sold “as is” and quality of the alcohol is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties are given.

(d) Books-Collation: If on collation any named item in the sale Catalogue proves defective, in text or illustration the Buyer may reject the Lot provided he returns it within 21 days of the sale stating the defect

in writing. This, however, shall not apply in the case of unnamed items, periodicals, autographed letters, music M.M.S., maps, drawings nor in respect of damage to bindings, stains, foxing, marginal worm holes or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text nor in respect of Defects mentioned in the Catalogue, or at the time of sale, nor in respect of Lots sold for less than £300.

(e) Electrical Goods: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations by a qualified electrician first. Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given.

(f) Upholstered items: are sold as “works of art” only and if bought for use must be checked over for compliance with safety regulations (items manufactured prior to 1950 are exempt from any regulations). Use of such goods is entirely at the risk of the Buyer and no warranties as to safety of the goods are given. We provide no guarantee as to the originality of any wood/material contained within the item.

Live online bidding may be subject to an additional premium (level dependent on the live bidding service provider chosen). This additional premium is subject to VAT at the appropriate rate as above.

D2. VALUE ADDED TAX

Value Added Tax is charged at the appropriate rate prevailing by law at the date of sale and is payable by Buyers of relevant Lots.

(a) Lots affixed with (†): Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed by law on all items affixed with a dagger (†). This imposition of VAT maybe because the Seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating under a Margin Scheme.

(b) Lots affixed with (*): A reduced rate of Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price of 5% is payable. This indicates that a Lot has been imported from outwit the European Union. This reduced rate is applicable to Antique items.

ARTIST’S RESALE ROYALTY (DROIT DE SUITE)

This symbol § indicates works which may be subject to the Droit de Suite or Artist’s Resale Right, which took effect in the United Kingdom on 14th February 2006. We are required to collect a royalty payment for all qualifying works of art. Under new legislation which came into effect on 1st January 2012 this applies to living artists and artists who have died in the last 70 years. This royalty will be charged to the Buyer on the Hammer Price and in addition to the Buyer’s Premium. It will not apply to works where the Hammer Price is less than £1,000. The charge for works of art sold at and above £1,000 and below £50,000 is 4%. For items selling above £50,000, charges are calculated on a sliding scale. All royalty charges are paid to the Design and Artists Copyright Society (‘DACS’) and no handling costs or additional fees are retained by the Auctioneer. Resale royalties are not subject to VAT. More information on Droit de Suite is available at www. dacs.org.uk.
