Faience scarab with detail to the carapace, the legs folded against the sides of the body; pierced for suspension. To the underside is an obelisk to the centre flanked to either side by baboons with hands raised in worship and wearing lunar headdresses. To the top is a stylised boat with the sun disc to the centre. Second Intermediate Period, 1650 – 1550 BC,16mm long.The overall imagery of the piece alludes to rebirth and solar imagery. The obelisk was a symbol of the sun god, who is represented in his solar form to the top in a celestial boat. The baboons represent the god Thoth, as indicated by the lunar disks resting in crescents –symbolizing the moon’s phases– above their heads.For a similar example see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 26.7.470Purchased during the Second World War by Major G.A.D Gordon (Royal Army Medical Corps) from Sayad Molattam, a dealer in antiquities based at the Luxor Hotel. Mr Gordon's personal war diaries, which are now held in the Museum of Military Medicine in Aldershot, date his stay in Luxor from the 21st of February to the 1st of March 1942.

*Sir Jacob Epstein (1880-1959)Sketch for 'Day'signed 'Epstein' l.l., pencil, ink and wash57 x 42.5cmProvenance: The Redfern Gallery(?);Lady Epstein (Kathleen Esther Garman);with Obelisk Gallery, London, c.1965:Anon, Bonham's, London, 29 November 2005, lot 69.Sketch for 'Day' is a preparatory drawing of c.1929 for the monumental sculpture 'Day' commissioned along with its pair 'Night' for London Transport HQ (55 Broadway, a Grade 1 listed building close to St James's Park, London). The sculptures, completed in 1929, are amongst Epstein’s most celebrated and, at the time, controversial public works. On their unveiling, there was outcry over the explicit nudity of the boy, which led to the offer of resignation from the Managing Director of London Underground (UERL), which had commissioned the works. In the end, Epstein made a compromise - shortening the boy's penis - and the uproar was forgotten. The inscription verso, in (the elderly) Lady Epstein’s hand on an Obelisk Gallery label, states it was exhibited in 1927 at The Redfern Gallery - but this could be inaccurate as the commission for 'Day & Night' was received in 1928, and other 'Day' related studies are dated '28 or '29.

AufsatzschreibkommodeBöhmen (?), um 1730 Furnier Nussbaum, Ahorn, Mooreiche. Rest., erg., tlw. verzogen, besch. 195 x 132 x 75 cm. Sechsschübiger, frontal eingeschwungener Kommodenuntersatz mit abgerundeten Vorderkanten, hinter deren zurückschiebbbarer Verkleidung sich Geheimfächer verbergen. Schräge Schreibplatte mit flankierenden Schüben. Ausstattung mit sieben Schubladen. Aufsatz mit Bogengiebel und neun Schubfächern um zentrales Fach mit Türe. Innenliegend div. kleine (Geheim)schubladen. Tlw. Zentralverriegelung. Reicher Bandelwerkdekor. Die Türe eingelegt mit einem Obelisk über Rocaillesockel mit Blumenvasen, die Schreibklappe mit bekröntem Doppelwappen in Rocaillekartusche auf Lambrequin. Bei dem Allianzwappen mit Fürstenhut handelt es sich um die die Wappen der Markgrafen von Baden und des Fürstenhauses Schwarzenberg. Möglicherweise bezieht sich das Doppelwappen auf Ludwig Georg Simpert von Baden (1702-1761), der 1721 Maria Anna von Schwarzenberg (1706-1755) auf Schloss Krumau in Böhmen ehelichte. Der aufwändige Marketeriedekor des Möbels wird in erster Linie bestimmt durch die mehrfarbig eingelegte, kunstvoll verschränkte Ornamentform des sog. Bandelwerks, die insbesondere über Vorlagewerke der französischen Ornamentstecher Bérain und Marot um 1700 auch im deutschsprachigen Bereich modern wurde und dort vor allem durch Augsburger Vorlagenstecher Verbreitung fand. Ab etwa 1730, am frühesten in München unter François de Cuvilliés d. Ä., wurde das Bandelwerk langsam abgelöst durch die Ornamentform der Rocaille, die sich auch an vorliegender Schreibkommode in streng symmetrischer Anordnung findet.
