AN ANTIQUARIAN GILT BRONZE AND CHINESE LACQUER-MOUNTED BREAKFRONT SIDE CABINET 19TH CENTURY, OF LOUIS XIV STYLE, THE LACQUER PANELS 18TH CENTURY The marble top above a frieze of foliate scrolls and acanthus above three doors displaying re-used lacquer panels enclosing oak shelves, above a raised plinth centred by a panel with bearded mask and with rosette blocks, on tapering feet with acanthus clasps, one lock stamped Comyn Ching & Co 97cm high, 160cm wide, 58cm deep Provenance: The Hon. Claude John Yorke, and thence by descent This imposing cabinet reflects the antiquarian taste prevalent in England in the 19 th century, led by London dealer/agents and manufacturers such as Edward Holmes Baldock who was trading from various addresses in of Hanway Street from 1805 and Robert Hume trading from Berners Street from 1829. Indeed the Covent Garden and Soho areas of London witnessed a huge number of businesses engaged in the trade in new, restored and second hand furniture and works of art, from the likes of Baldock and Hume whose clients included royalty and the nobility, to traders who bought and sold `curios' and others who were little more than dealers in scrap. The trade was fanned by enthusiastic and wealthy and collectors of `antiques' such as William Beckford (d.1844) and the Duke of Hamilton (d.1852), historic house refurbishments such as at Hardwick Hall (1839 - 49) and sometimes hare-brained projects such as the Earl of Eglinton's chivalric Tournament of 1839 offered dealers an easy opportunity to make money, while auction sales of eminent collections brought yet more artefacts to the market. Part of this trade saw new furniture created re-using older element, particularly those items deemed precious or valuable, hard stones, Chinese and Japanese lacquer, carved ebony, boulle and tortoiseshell and even old oak. Makers such as Baldock incorporated these in conventional ways, using newly made pieces and the best are superbly executed. A detailed study of the trade was published by Mark Westgarth, Biographical Dictionary of Nineteenth Century Antique and Curiosity Dealers , Regional Furniture Society Journal, 2009, vol.23. A Regency cabinet of similar type, black and gilt-japanned and incorporating 18th century Kangxi lacquer was sold from Crichel, Dorset, at Christie's, London, 23 May 2013, lot 152 (£22,500 including premium). The attribution to a London antiquarian manufacturer is reinforced by the use of locks marked by the Seven Dials ironmonger Comyn Ching & Co.

CHARLES-AUGUSTE FRAIKIN (BELGIAN 1817-1893) A RARE MARBLE FIGURAL GROUP 'THE CRADLE OF LOVE' MID 19TH CENTURY Carrara marble, sleeping child on shell set on a triform base with carved dolphins, signed , on a painted simulated marble octagonal pedestal Group 65cm high, 79cm wide, 130.5cm high overall Provenance: Possibly the 4th Earl of Craven and thence by descent Literature : Edward MacDermott, "Routledge's Guide to the Crystal Palace and Park at Sydenham", G. Routledge & Company, 1854. PP.146. Musee Fraikin De Herenthals : Offert Par L'artiste A Sa Ville Natale L'an 1891 : Catalogue De La Galerie 1891, publ. L. Bongaerts-Verbeeck Herenthals. The Belgian sculptor Charles-Auguste Fraikin (1817-1893) was born in Herentals in Belgium. After a difficult childhood and an early career training to be an apothecary. he re-devoted his life instead to the study and production of sculture under Pierre Puyenbroeck. Just 6 months after enrolling in the Académie royale des beaux-arts Brussels he won the internal competition for sculpture and more public success followed swiftly. In 1845 at the Salon de Bruxelles the Queen of the Belgians recommended his work "L'Amour captif" to King Leopold I and Royal commissions followed. The museum at Herentals devoted to his life and work was established by a bequest in his will- leaving the entirety of the plaster casts from his studio. In the gallery guide from 1891 the museum discusses this particular work: "No 11 Amour au Berceau ". It recounts how the work came into being after a public lottery in 1850- won by Dr Lombard from Liege. Versions of it were also executed in various materials including, notably, for M. le Baron de Rotschild a Paris. One of Fraikin's first public exhibitions of this composition was at the Great Exhibition of 1851 where his work was highlighted in Routledge's Guide in the description of the "French and Italian Modern Sculpture Court". His work was noted as being "graceful and delicate in the extreme" and being especially worthy of attention from visitors: "M. Fraikin of Brussels, a sculptor who possesses as great a reputation among his fellow artists in Belgium as with amateurs and the public in general... "L'amour au Berceau" or "Cupid in his cradle" "Psyche" and a "Roman peasant woman" are works also by M Fraikin which will appeal to the sympathies of visitors of all age". Exhibiting another version of this work at the 1855 l'Exposition Universelle in Paris he was rewarded with the patronage of Empress Eugenie, who had the group placed into her bedroom at the Tuileries Palace. Sadly, that example was lost in the Tuileries fire in 1871.

λ GERRY JUDAH (BRITISH B. 1951) FRONTIERS 09 Foamboard and acrylic gesso on canvas Signed, titled and dated 2005 (verso) 200 x 150cm (78½ x 59 in.) Unframed Provenance: Acquired direct from the artist in 2005 Calcutta-born Gerry Judah FRSS is especially celebrated for his public sculptural installations. He has designed settings for the BBC, Goodwood Festival, British Museum, and the Natural History Museum, as well as numerous musicians and directors. Straddling painting and sculpture, his works often involve a reflection on the destructive potential of humanity. Judah's 2000 commission from the Imperial War Museum for a model of Auschwitz cemented his reputation as a preeminent chronicler of the horrors of war. Exhibited at the Timber Yard, London in 2005, the 'Frontiers' series demonstrates Judah's command of distinctive materials - extruded foam covered with Lascaux acrylic - and his commitment to historical reality. By evoking conflict zones in the Middle East such as Jenin, Judah calls attention to the artist's responsibility not only to commemorate - as in his World War I memorial at St Paul's Cathedral - but raise awareness of ongoing injustices. There is a palpable tension between the meticulous craftsmanship of this Pompeiian scene, which verges on the serene, and the gutted, deserted buildings jutting out from the surface. As the artist muses on the paradoxical nature of his endeavour, 'You're listening to your CDs. You're making sure that these places are growing out of the canvas. It colonises your soul, because it's not just about the gesso and the texture - it's about destruction' (in Jay Merrick, 'Return to the Conflict Zone', 2005). Condition Report: Some light surface dirt along the upper edge and outside edges of the stretched canvas. Some yellowing to some areas of glue residue. Otherwise the work appears to be in good original condition. Condition Report Disclaimer

UGO RONDINONE (SWISS B. 1964) CLOCKWORK FOR ORACLES - ORANGE, 2002 Mirror, coloured plastic gel and wood Signed and dated 2002 (verso) 77 x 67cm (30¼ x 26¼ in.) Provenance: Matthew Marks Gallery, New York Acquired from the above in 2007 Prolific and versatile, Swiss-born Ugo Rondinone is renowned for his spatially conscious works, from monumental public installations to immersive indoor exhibitions. Rondinone is represented by Gladstone Gallery and Sadie Coles HQ; he has exhibited at the Centre Pompidou, the Albertina Museum, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Many of Rondinone's best-known works, such as Seven Magic Mountains in Ivanpah Valley, are seductive in their simplicity. Brightly coloured and sharply outlined, there is an elegant clarity to the artist's mixed-media creations. This aesthetic appeal should not detract from their serious conceptual concerns: the present work, part of the Clockwork for Oracles installation, is no exception. Originally exhibited against a backdrop of newspaper clippings as a group of 52 similar compositions - one for every week of the year - Clockwork for Oracles highlights the issues of temporality and modern information culture. Rondinone subverts the function of a window - a common motif - by substituting a mirror for what should be a portal to the outside world. In line with the Ciceronian conception of the eyes as the window to the soul, the viewer is invited to look inward and prioritise what is truly important over the distracting currents of the everyday. An attractive and cerebral work, Clockwork for Oracles is a warning both against navel-gazing and being overwhelmed by a deluge of media, chiming perhaps with the conclusion of Voltaire's Candide : 'let us cultivate our garden.' Condition Report: The two sheets of orange both have very fine curved scratches across the upper half of each panel. There are also a number of what appear to be air bubbles scattered across both panels. Please contact housesales@dreweatts.com for additional images. Condition Report Disclaimer

THOMAS DANIELL R.A. (BRITISH 1749-1840) VIEW IN THE KOAH NULLAH Oil on canvas 58 x 45cm (22¾ x 17½ in.) In August 1788, Thomas Daniell began to plan a tour up-country, passing through Cawnpore, and then on to Agra and Delhi, before heading further north to Amroha and Najibabad. The rocky valley of the Khoh river, that leads into the Garhwal hills, was the route that the Daniells followed on the final outbound leg of their journey from Kotdwara to Srinagar in April 1789. Parts of the journey were perilous because of the difficult roads, and much of the terrain was unknown to the British. The Daniels were in fact the first Europeans ever to visit Garhwal. They wrote: 'We all four were carried in our jampans [hill palanquins] by four bearers to each who seemed to take us with the greatest ease.' (Archer, p.86) However, it was often too steep to use their palanquins and they had to climb up the rocky watercourse. Described by the pair, 'The Koah Nullah [Khoh River] is a mountain stream that in the season of rain must be a furious torrent, but in the month of April was a delightful rivulet, that, sparkling in the sun, gave animation and beauty to the rude scenes through which it pursued its course' (Oriental Scenery, Part 4, Plate 15). The enthusiasm for sparkling streams was apparently not shared by the Daniells' remaining Bengali servants who, as well as being hostile to the wheat eaten in this region, these lowlanders were also prejudiced against 'beautiful transparent water' flowing in the hills: their stagnant reservoirs, and even the turbid waters of the Hooghly at Calcutta, appeared to them much more inviting' (Archer, p.87). In the autumn of 1791, the pair of artists arrived back at Calcutta, having travelled many miles since their departure in August 1788. Their arrival was noted by William Baillie, who informed Ozias Humphry (November 3rd, 1793) that 'Mr. Thomas Daniell returned to Calcutta with a collection of about 150 pictures.' On the 5 th January 1792, the Calcutta Gazette announced a 'Lottery of pictures painted during the extended tour'. (Sutton, p.66-67) One hundred and fifty pictures and paintings were exhibited at the Old Harmonic Tavern, with the draw taking place on March 1 st . Although no catalogue of this lottery survives, it is likely that the present, unrecorded, lot, was one of the hundred and fifty works produced for this financial venture. If this is the case, we can date the work to circa 1790-1791 when the Daniells were working on pictures for the Calcutta Lottery. Much of the works produced by the Daniells during their time in India include buildings or ruins; both a reflection of their own artistic ideals, and of the idea that India itself was the scene of ancient civilisations. However, the foothills of the Himalayas presented the pair with the opportunity to paint pure landscapes. The present lot is not completely free of buildings, but the humble dwelling at its centre is quickly dwarfed and overshadowed by the sublime rugged mountains and spirited waters which surround it. A watercolour sold at Christie's, London, The P&O Collection of Watercolours of India by Thomas and William Daniell , 24 September 1996, lot 62, entitled The Khoh River, near Diosa, Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh (Oriental Scenery vol. IV, engraving No.18) appears to offer a similar view to the present lot but from a vantage point further down the Khoh River, omitting the house, but with the same mountain range easily identifiable. In addition, the artist depicted the same view in one of a pair of drawings entitled Old Lungoor Ghur: Near Nytana, Srinagar Mountains (Sale, Christie's London 29 th October 2019, lot 91). A comparable oil painting, The Koh Valley in Garhwal, Northern India , was sold at Bonhams Travel and Topographical Pictures auction on 10 May 2005, lot 67. We are grateful to Charles Greig for his assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
