A Roman marble head of a Celtic houndCirca 2nd Century A.D.30cm highFootnotes:Provenance:Private collection, USA, acquired in 1939; and thence by descent to the present owner.The naturalistic portrayal of the dog's expression, along with its smoothly defined musculature and up-tilted head, closely resembles two collarless crouching hounds in the Naples Archaeological Museum (inv. nos 6216 and 6219). The upward pose of the above head suggests that it may also have come from a seated sculpture of a hound that conveys aspects of loyalty and protection. Such sculptures would have been suitable for both residential and funerary contexts. The life-size proportions and features of the above lot are also similar to those of two groups of hounds that were excavated by Gavin Hamilton in Monte Cagnolo and sold in 1774 to the Vatican (Vatican Museum, Belvedere Palace, Room of Animals, TY 12/3:Library 4) and to Charles Townley (now in the British Museum, London, acc. no. 1805.0703.8). Townley initially mistakenly referred to his sculptural group of playful or grooming dogs as 'greyhounds'; it is now thought that this type of sculpture represents either Celtic Greyhounds or salukis, as identified by Sir Terence Clark. The above lot is also related in style to the Thomas Hope hounds that were collected on his Grand Tour in the late 18th Century, cf. G. Waywell, The Lever and Hope Sculptures, Berlin, 1986, p. 90, nos 36 & 37, pl. 54 and subsequently sold at Bonhams, in the Antiquities sale of 3 July 2019, lot 151.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

LALIQUE: PLIQUE-À-JOUR ENAMEL, PEARL AND IVORY BROOCH, CIRCA 1900-1903The ivory plaque carved in high relief to depict the heads of three female profiles, the gold quatrefoil frame of sinuous stems with aubergine enamel, issuing green plique-à-jour ivy leaves, within ivy leaf relief, engraved to the reverse, mounted in gold, signed Lalique, pearls untested, two leaves with enamel loss, length 6.8cmFootnotes:René Lalique's relationship with sculpture was deeply intertwined with his mastery of glass and ornamentation. His designs often featured sculptural forms, blending fluid, organic shapes, echoing the artistic depth of sculpture, exploring themes of nature, mythology, and human emotion.In the mid-1890s Lalique began working with Sarah Bernhardt, an actress and sculptor, whose flamboyant personality acted as a catalyst on Lalique's fertile imagination. Whilst she is recognised as an enthusiastic and loyal benefactor of Lalique, she has not been credited in her capacity as a sculptress, in which she undoubtedly advised him.In the late 1890s, Lalique designed a series of jewellery and objets d'art inspired by the sculpture of Auguste Rodin. Lalique's sensitivity to form allowed him to translate Rodin's bold, emotive works into delicate glass and ivory examples, retaining the essence of the sculptural forms while introducing his own innovative techniques. One notable example of their creative collaboration was Lalique's interpretation of Rodin's famous sensual sculpture The Kiss (1882); which he reimagined more than once and in various forms. See Becker, V. The Jewellery of René Lalique, pl. 28-30.In this exquisite jewel, Lalique uses the smoothness of ivory, with its subtle translucency and notable resemblance to marble, to evoke softness and sensuality of skin, thus demonstrating Lalique's skill as a craftsman and his ability to evoke the same emotional resonance as sculpture, albeit in a more intimate and wearable form.For similar carved ivory jewels by Lalique, see Becker, V. The Jewellery of René Lalique, pl. 20-22, 24-30, 108, 112.Accompanied by a certificate from The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, stating that this pre-1918 item is of outstandingly high artistic, cultural or historical value. Certificate number: 5XJZIAKN, dated 31st October 2024.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: Y ФY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the UK, see clause 13.Ф This lot contains or is made of ivory and cannot be imported into the USA or any country within the EU.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

* ENZO PLAZZOTTA (ITALIAN 1921 - 1981), SPIRIT OF FREEDOM bronze sculpture with rich brown patina, stamped with the Plazzotta seal and numbered 34 inscribed title to plaque, on marble base 33cm high Provenance: Enzo Plazzotta Catalogue Raisonne No 329 illustrated page 171.Note: Enzo Plazzotta was born in Mestre, near Venice, in 1921 and spent his student days in Milan studying sculptural drawing and modelling under Giocomo Manzu at the Academia di Brera, and architecture at the Politecnicao. He decided to specialise in sculpture, but his studies were interrupted by World War ll. Plazzotta became a member of the Italian Resistance Movement and fought in the Ossola region as a partisan. He was captured as a result of a secret political meeting held in Milan and spent nearly a year in solitary confinement. While being transferred to a German prisoner of war camp, however, he managed to escape and rejoin the partisans. Plazzotta was engaged in guerrilla activities and in conjunction with the British Special Forces was on the organising end of a clandestine escape route for Jews and escaped Allied prisoners of war en route from Italy to Switzerland. Through these contacts with British Intelligence he was involved in the repatriation of Ferruccio Parri, the leader of the Italian Resistance, from Switzerland to Italy. Parri later became Italy's first prime minister after the war ended. Plazzotta's wartime record won him the Silver Medal for Military Valour. After the war, Plazzotta resumed his studies in Milan, and in 1947 received his first commission, appropriately enough from the Italian Committee of Liberation. This was to be their tribute to their successful wartime collaboration with the British Special Forces. The bronze sculpture was entitled Spirit of Rebellion and depicted the boy David with the head of Goliath. Plazzotta himself was chosen to make the presentation to the Special Forces Club headquarters in London, and the bronze still has a place of honour there today. This first visit to London played a major part in shaping Plazzotta's career, for he quickly decided to make London his permanent place of residence. From his first studio in London he received several portrait commissions and, in 1949, held his first exhibition at the former Brook Street Gallery, to be followed by many others. "Spirit of Freedom" was also commissioned by The Special Forces Club (London) as confirmed in the Catalogue Raisonne. One of his first public commissions was a monument to commemorate the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Lewes, and after this time he began to explore the themes for which he has become well known, specialising in studies of dance, the horse and the female form – all of which exude vitality and movement. His style, based on the classical lines of the Renaissance, reflects perfectly his own admiration for such great masters as Michelangelo and Rodin. He lived in Chelsea and worked from the studio formerly owned by the late Sir Charles Wheeler. Major public sculptures by Enzo Plazzotta include: Camargue Horses, on the Waterside Terrace at The Barbican Centre, London; The Cruxifixion, in the College Gardens of Westminster Abbey; Homage to Leonardo. Belgrave Square, London; Jeté, on the corner of 46 -57 Millbank, Westminster, London; The Hand of Christ, Dinand Library at the College of the Holy Cross, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA; The Helmet, Lewes Priory; Two Brothers, Boys Town, Nebraska, USA; Young Dancer, Royal Opera House, Broad Street, London. The estate of Enzo Plazzotta is handled by Chris Beetles Gallery (London) and their website at the time of writing shows "Spirit of Freedom" priced at £2750.
