20 The Bourbon Dynasty Works from and inspired by the period 345 CIRCLE OF CORNEILLE VAN CLEVE (FRENCH, ): A FIRST HALF 18TH CENTURY BRONZE GROUP OF VENUS EDUCATING CUPID depicting Venus seated on a draped rock with Cupid at her feet, looking up to her and holding a dove in his right hand, a further dove beside, on a naturalistic base 31.5cm high 18

21 continued This bronze displays numerous stylistic similarities to two other known bronze groups, Venus Disarming Cupid and Psyche Discovering Cupid which have traditionally been attributed to the renowned sculptor Corneille Van Cleve. Van Cleve studied under Anguier, and worked for numerous powerful religious and noble families across Europe but most notably for Louis XIV, he was in residence in the Louvre as a royal concession in Van Cleve was descended from a family of Flemish goldsmiths and it is perhaps this heritage which contributed to his skill and and specialism not only for his designs for small decorative objects but also for producing statuettes and other small scale cabinet bronzes of the highest quality, with features that are also apparent in the present example. There are casts of both Venus Disarming Cupid and Psyche Discovering Cupid in the Wallace Collection, both of which display similar physiognomies, themes and casting and finishing techniques to the present figural group. As well as the theatrical pose, the semi-erotic subject matter, the use of her attributes such as the doves; the workmanship and surface technique are also comparable. The distinction between the smooth polished surface of Venus s nude physique and the careful treatment of the numerous folds of the drapery and the extensively tooled, chiselled rock that supports her are typical of Van Cleve s work. The distinctive hairstyle of Venus and the minute stippling to the surface of her hair, contrasting with her smooth skin is also apparent in the other examples of this type. A near identical cast to the present bronze was sold at Christies, London, 4 December 2008, lot 158.

22 The Sun King in Splendour 348 A MAGNIFICENT SECOND QUARTER 19TH CENTURY BRONZE EQUESTRIAN STATUE OF LOUIS XIV AFTER THE MONUMENT BY LOUIS PETITOT (FRENCH, ) AND PIERRE CARTELLIER (FRENCH, ) POSSIBLY CAST BY CHARLES CROZATIER ( ) depicting the Sun King with plumed hat astride a large stallion, raised on a rectangular plinth, mid to dark brown patination 74cm high x 61cm wide Pierre Cartellier was originally commissioned by Louis XVIII in 1816 to produce an equestrian monument for the Place de la Concorde to replace Bouchardon s monument which had been destroyed during the revolution. The horse was finally completed in 1831, however sadly that year Cartellier died, and it was left to his son-in-law, Louis Petitot, who had worked with him, to complete the commission. Petitot produced the figure of Louis XIV and the large monument was finally erected at Versailles in The monument was cast in bronze by the renowned bronze founder Charles Crozatier (French, ), who had himself studied under Cartellier at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. Upon leaving Cartellier s studio, Crozatier travelled to Italy where he studied the great sculptors of the Renaissance and Baroque and produced casts of some of their works with which to use in his own bronzes. He set up his own studio at Rue du Parc Royal, Paris, and his exceptional skill 20

23 won him numerous commissions from royalty and nobility both in France and beyond. Louis XVIII commissioned him to produce a sculpture of Napoleon in place Vendome, Paris, as well at the monumental cast of the present group, and Charles X made him Chevalier of the Légion d honneur. Arguably the most renowned bronze founder in Paris for large monumental works, Crozatier was also known to have produced reductions and statuettes of monumental sculptures, such as Coustou s Marly horses, Ajax defying the Gods after Louis Dupaty (see Christies, London, 23 May 2014, lot 529) and the bronze figure of Hercules after Guillaume Boichot made for the portico of the Pantheon in Paris, which is now in the Royal Collection (RCIN 31361). The exceptional quality of the casting, after-working, surface treatment, patination and minute detail apparent in the present bronze reduction all indicate a Parisian bronze founder of the highest calibre. For example, even the underside of the bronze is depicted in fine detail, the nails in the horseshoe of the horses raised hoof have been clearly defined, a casting trait reminiscent of the great equestrian sculptor Pietro Tacca who Crozatier surely would have studied whilst in Italy. That Crozatier is known to have cast the monumental version of this bronze means that we know he would have had maquettes of this group in his workshop, and it is therefore possible that he was commissioned to produce a fine reduction of the equestrian figure for a particular patron. 25,000 35,000 European Works of Art & Clocks 21

45 412 back The extremely high quality production of the present clock as well as the use of precious materials such as silver, mother of pearl and gilt bronze point to an Augsburg workshop. Augsburg was famous during the 17th and 18th century for producing exceptional pieces such as the present lot including furniture, clocks, candlesticks, caskets and other decorative works of art incorporating the finest of materials such as mother of pearl, gold, silver, porcelain, ivory and hard stones such as lapis lazuli. This obsession with not only a variety of materials but only the most expensive and rarest materials stemmed from the kunstkammer tradition of collecting and displaying objects as a means of asserting one s wealth, power and intellect. As well as small table clocks, Augsburg was also famous for the production of Prunkuhr, large, elaborate and highly decorated clocks made for this purpose, from 1695 onwards.

Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy came from a line of exceptional clock makers that enjoyed royal patronage for three generations. His father, also Benjamin Vulliamy, earned a Royal Appointment in 1773 as King George III s Clockmaker. He was also commissioned to build the Regulator Clock, which was responsible for the official London time until 1884, when the Greenwich Royal Observatory took over this role with the Shepherd Master clock and later in 1893 by Dent no Born in 1780, B. L. Vulliamy received the Freedom of the Clockmakers Company in December 1809 and became a liveryman in January 1810 at the age of 30. The present timepiece is typical of his output, unlike his father who produced very decorative clocks, he was known for producing accurate clocks of exceptional quality and workmanship, and these practical and dependable clocks were supplied to the Royal Household as well as to government offices and other important institutions.

A. HÉBRARD 51cm high This bronze figure is a reduction of the figure of Peace La Paix that adorns the important bronze monument Le Triomphe de la Republique that Dalou was commissioned to create in the Place de la Nation square. Dalou originally devised the composition for a competition that was created to commemorate the French Republic in 1878 with a monument in the Place de la Republique by the Parisian municipality. Unfortunately Dalou did not win the competition, that prize went to the sculptors Leopold and Francois Charles Morice, however the judging panel were so impressed by Dalou s design that they commissioned the monument for the Place de la Nation. The original plaster maquette for the monument is now in the Petit Palais, Paris. The final monument proved to be a colossal undertaking; Dalou spent twenty years completing the bronze, it is twelve meters high and each of the figures is around four and a half meters in height. The full scale plaster model was inaugurated on September 21st 1889 and the final piece was finished in This study for the final figure of Peace represents a more pared down and simplified nude, in the same pose at the final full size figure, but without the flowers that she distributes around the monument. 5,000 7,000 64

80 Novelty & Mystery Clocks 516 A RARE 19TH CENTURY FRENCH GILT BRONZE AND GLASS FIFTH SERIES MYSTERY CLOCK WITH SQUARE DIAL BY JEAN EUGENE ROBERT HOUDIN the 4.75 inch square glass dial signed HOUDIN PARIS, with Roman numerals and Arabic five minute markers, with pierced gilt hands, set within a guilloche and foliate gilt border surmounted by an oval cartouche hung with floral garlands, supported on a fluted column with beaded border over the gilt base and an ebonised plinth base, the movement stamped AC within an oval, with lever platform escapement 35cm high This clock belongs to Houdin s fifth series of mystery clocks. As his clients gradually began to work out how the circular dial mystery clocks of his earlier series functioned, he felt compelled to develop his ideas and create new mechanics to maintain his reputation as the greatest horologer / magician in the world. The square dial mystery clock operates in a different way from earlier circular designs, which involved the rotation of a glass sheet via a toothed rim to move the hands. The square dial examples work through minute oscillations produced by a cam and rod. Jean Eugene Robert was born in Blois, near Paris, which had been a centre for clock and watchmaking for centuries; his father was a watchmaker and so naturally he began his career also in this trade. In 1830 he married Eglantine Houdin, the daughter of Jacques Houdin, a prestigious horologist who had studied under arguably the greatest watchmaker of all time, the great Breguet. Jacques Houdin had a shop in Paris which specialised in precision instruments, and the young Jean Eugene Robert was so impressed by his father-in-law s work that after the marriage he took his name and became Robert Houdin. In 1831 Robert Houdin began to develop the first mystery clocks. Between 1831 and 1844 he produced five distinct types all functioning in slightly different ways and for different effect. When one of these mystery clocks was exhibited in London in 1838, it is said spectators were amazed and could not work out how the hand moved, many speculating that the clock was driven with magnetism. In 1839 Robert Houdin exhibited some of his mystery clocks at the Exhibition of French Industry, and won a bronze medal. By the 1840 s he was also producing automaton, one of which won him the silver medal at a National Industrial Exhibition in This resulted in specific commissions for such pieces from conjurers and other showmen such as Phineas Barnum, who toured the world with Houdin s machine for twenty years. This success helped to introduce him to the world of magic and conjuring, and by 1845 he had fulfilled a childhood dream and opened his own theatre show at the Palais Royal Les Soirees Fantastiques Robert - Houdin. His show was unique in that it incorporated traditional conjuring tricks with his own automatons to create magical effect. It proved to be immensely popular, so much so that by the 1850 s he was performing private shows for Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace. His clocks, automatons and other inventions became world famous, and he is now widely considered to be not only the inventor of the first mystery clocks but also perhaps more importantly, the father of modern magic and conjuring. It has been said that every magician of the 20th century is haunted by Robert Houdin, his techniques and showmanship casting a shadow over all future conjurers. Certainly the famous Harry Houdini was so in awe of Houdin that he changed his name from Ehrich Weiss to Harry Houdini in homage to the great master, for he erroneously believed that adding an I to the end of a name meant like in French.
