Sir Peter Lely and Studio, portrait of James Butler the 1st Duke of Ormonde, three quarter length in Garter, oil on canvas, 133.5cms x 107cmsProvenance: Lot 49 in The Thynne Heirloom auction at Christies on the 1st of May 1911 where it fetched £42.00 and was sold to Robson.The painting bears a plaque inscribed Thynne Heirloom. Catalogue Note: James Butler, first Duke of Ormonde, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, was born at Clerkenwell, Middlesex to Thomas Butler, Viscount Thurles (c. 1596–1619), son and heir of Walter Butler, eleventh Earl of Ormond, and Elizabeth Poyntz (c. 1588–1673) from Iron Acton, Gloucestershire. The Butlers were one of the principal families of Anglo-Norman settlers to survive in Ireland from the middle ages, but the first Duke of Ormonde broke with the Catholicism of his forebears to become one of the most significant statesmen and soldiers in the service of King Charles I in his campaign against the Irish uprising that preceded the English Civil War. Ormonde remained loyal to the Stuarts throughout his life despite falling in and out of favour. Following the execution of Charles I, he lived in exile from 1647–60, upon his return he received the English earldom of Brecknock, meaning he could sit in the English House of Lords, as well as the subsidiary title of Baron Butler of Llanthony. More momentous, however, was his elevation to the Irish dukedom of Ormonde in 1661. A unique distinction, it confirmed his standing as Charles's foremost subject in that kingdom. Until his death in 1688, the Duke of Ormonde held various different senior offices in the court of Charles II, was often consulted on Irish matters and ultimately gained a reputation for being loyal, uncompromising and highly principled.

[ARCHITECTURAL SALVAGE]. A VICTORIAN LARGE CIRCULAR EMBOSSED COPPER PLAQUE by Billing & Co., London, originally affixed to the exterior of a building in Bath, centred with the head of a winged and bearded figure, his hair entwined with snakes, surrounded by the legend 'AQUAE A.D.-C SULIS A.D.-MDCCCLXXXVIII' [1888], 100cm diameter. Note: The head closely resembles the carved stone image from the pediment of the Roman Baths at Bath.

Others have proposed a classical or Celtic water god such as Oceanus.

SEAMAN SCHEPPS: ART DECO DIAMOND AND ROCK CRYSTAL CLASP, CIRCA 1935-40The openwork rectangular plaque set throughout with old brilliant-cut diamonds, between diamond-set semi-cylindrical rock crystal batons, to a four-row imitation pearl choker necklace, clasp signed Seaman Schepps, diamonds approximately 9.00cts total, lengths: clasp 6cm, necklace 26cm shortestFootnotes:Seaman Schepps (1881-1972) opened his first store in California in 1904 before relocating to his native New York in 1921. Schepps expanded his business and acquired a second location a few years later but the economic crisis of 1929 forced him to close his doors. He used this time to reassess his strategy and focus on new designs, eventually reopening at a prestigious address on Madison Avenue in 1934 with renewed energy and direction.His imaginative designs featured a bold combination of precious, semi-precious and organic gems that would define his style and earn him a loyal following amongst high profile socialites and cultural icons. Beloved by Katherine Hepburn, the Roosevelts, the Rockefellers, the Duchess of Windsor and Andy Warhol, Seaman Schepps came to be crowned, 'America's Court Jeweller'. Upon his death in 1972, his daughter, Patricia Schepps Vaill took over the running of the business, honouring her father's distinctive flair for creating bold statement jewels of which the present lot is a fine and rare early example.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Rudoe, 'Cartier 1900-1939', 1997, p.170, ill. plate 94. The presence of midnight blue enamel appears in Indian jewels and objets d'art from the second half of the nineteenth century and Cartier's record for this particular cigarette case suggests the plaque was of genuine Indian origin having come from an 'Indian box' that entered Cartier's stock on 21st August 1911. The enamel plaque on this powder compact may have similar origins since Cartier's archives record that the Hungarian expert, Imre Schwaiger, sourced the 'Indian box' and also negotiated other purchases for Cartier. For a circular powder and lipstick compact of similar design by Cartier, bearing maker's marks HL for Henri Lavabre, see Bonhams, Knightsbridge, 9th December 2020, lot 313.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

RUBY AND DIAMOND BROOCHThe pierced foliate plaque of Eastern inspiration with chevron motifs, millegrain-set with old brilliant and single-cut diamonds, accented by a cushion-shaped ruby, weighing 2.02 carats, over a pavé-set single-cut diamond bar of rectangular openwork form, diamonds approximately 2.00 carats total, length 3.1cmFootnotes:Accompanied by a report from SSEF stating that the ruby is of Burmese origin with no indications of heat treatment, minor amounts of oil in fissures. Report number 125423 dated 1st November 2022.Historically, the ruby has been important for many cultures and was ascribed various values of power: protection, wealth, status, cures for illness and peace. The Sanskrit name, ratnaraj or 'King of Precious Stones' given to rubies very much embodies the value bestowed upon this gemstone.Over the past 800 years, the finest rubies unearthed have been found in the Mogok Stone Tract region of Burma, now Myanmar. This continues to be the case today despite rubies being mined in various other locations such as Africa, Thailand, Tanzania, Afghanistan and Madagascar. The continued mining in the Mogok Stone Tract region is resulting in a depletion of top-quality ruby deposits.Burmese rubies are prized for their vibrant fiery colour which is caused by high levels of chromium saturating the ground from which they are mined. It is this colour combined with their strong fluorescence which gives them a glowing, fiery radiance. Top quality Burmese rubies are the gold standard to which all other rubies are judged.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ΩΩ VAT on imported items at the prevailing rate on Hammer Price and Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
