MAX INGRAND (Bressuire, France, 1908-Paris, 1969) for FONTANA ARTE.Pair of wall lamps model 1552, 1950s.Cut glass body with satin-finished glass shades and nickel-plated brass frame.Measurements: 40 x 20 x 8 cm.Pair of sconces designed by Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte. They have a cut glass body with satin glass shades and a nickel-plated brass frame. Famous French master glassmaker and decorator, Max Ingrand was artistic director of FontanaArte from 1954 to 1964. During that time he devised true design classics, such as the Fontana table lamp. He was educated at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts and the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs, studying with Jacques Grüber and Charles Lemaresquier. He was elected president of the Association Française de l'Illumination in 1968. That same year he founded the company Verre Lumière, one of the first producers of halogen lamps. Between the 1940s and 1960s, he created numerous stained glass windows for churches (in some cases replacing those destroyed in the Second World War), including those for Pontoise Cathedral (1955), Strasbourg Cathedral (1956), and the chapels of Blois Castle (1957). He has also worked on important civil buildings.

Lot 18

Modernist display cabinet, circa 1900.Carved wood, root veneer and leaded glass.Measurements: 187 x 61.5 x 38 cm.Modernist display cabinet made of wood and decorated with carvings, beautifully grained root veneer and leaded glass decorated with a beautiful and complex plant design. It has a classical, architecturally inspired structure, with chamfered corners decorated with corbels and columns, a base of cut-out skirts with a stepped top and a moulded frieze crowned with a small cornice.It is a two-part piece of furniture, the smaller lower part serving as a pedestal for the upper part. This lower body has a door with its handle, decorated on the front with the aforementioned root veneer, in a rectilinear recess topped by a segmental arch. This door is flanked by two typically modernist corbels, carved with sinuous, flowing forms that evoke the organic without actually making it concrete. The upper body follows a similar pattern, although it is more developed at a decorative level. The door is closed by a stained-glass window that combines leaded glass plates of different colours and finishes: marbled, pressed, tinted glass in different shapes, with different colours, composing a floral design halfway between realism and abstraction. The handle of this door has a more complex design than the one below it, based on sinuous, flowing lines that form an asymmetrical pattern. On both sides of this body we see turned columns made up of several superimposed bodies, located on chamfered corners that protrude from the ground plan, creating protrusions in the line of union between the two bodies. Inside this upper body is an open space, with a mirror covering the back that would multiply the light and, with it, the play of light and colours of the stained-glass window.

Lot 711

A LONGQUAN CELADON TRIPOD CENSER, SOUTHERN SONG DYNASTYChina, 1127-1279. Covered overall with a soft blue-green glaze suffused with black and golden-brown-stained crackle and superbly pooling in thick drops at the bottom of the legs to expose the fine grayish ware. Note the old scent to the interior of the censer.Provenance: From an old southern French private estate. Condition: Excellent condition with some wear, particularly to the rim, and firing flaws, such as dark spots and pitting. The rim with calcifications consistent with soil or sea finds. While the unglazed areas of the feet appear dark brown, a closer inspection under a magnifying glass reveals this to be due to soiling, with the fine grayish ware clearly visible underneath.Weight: 885.5 gDimensions: Height 12.7 cm, Width 16 cm (at the widest points)The compressed body raised on three slightly splayed conical supports and surmounted by a cylindrical neck rising to a broad everted rim, with three narrow tapering flanges beginning at a ridge on the shoulder and trailing down each leg.Incense burners of this li tripod form were produced at the Longquan kilns during both the Southern Song and the Yuan periods. See P. Hughes-Stanton and Rose Kerr, Kiln Sites of Ancient China, London, 1980, pp. 20 and 125, no. 97. They have been excavated from widely scattered sites in China from Jining in Inner Mongolia in the north (see Wenwu, 1979:8, pl. VI, no. 3), to the Song port at Dongmenkou, Ningbo in the southeast (see Zhejiang sheng wenwu kaogusuo xuekan, Beijing, 1981, pl. XI, no. 5), and Sichuan in the west, where a similar vessel was unearthed at Jinyu village, Nanqiang, Suining in 1991 (see Longquan Celadon - The Sichuan Museum Collection, Macau, 1998, pp. 210-11, no. 83). They were also greatly appreciated in Japan, where they are known as hakama-goshi, a reference to the similarity of their pouched leg to the appearance of someone wearing the type of loose trousers known as hakama.It is possible that the crackle in the glaze of the present censer was a deliberate attempt to imitate Guan wares. A number of Song vessels from the Longquan kilns were made in this distinct style, some of them with a dark colored body, others pale as seen on the present censer. While it is difficult to be sure whether a reference to Guan ware was intended in the making of this piece, it may be significant that a Guan ware vessel of the same form is in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, illustrated in Porcelain of the National Palace Museum: Kuan Ware of the Sung Dynasty, op. cit., pp. 48-9, pls. 19a, 19b, 19c. A Guan ware censer of this shape was also found at the Jiaotanxia kiln site in Hangzhou. See Nan Song Guanyao, Beijing, 1996, pl. XX, no. 2.Literature comparison: There are examples of this Longquan censer form in the collection of the Palace Museum, Beijing. See The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum 33 Porcelain of the Song Dynasty (II), Hong Kong, 1996, pp. 135, 136, 139, 140-41, nos. 121, 122, 125, 126. A slightly larger Longquan tripod censer of similar construction in the collection of the National Palace Museum, Taipei, is illustrated in Porcelain of the National Palace Museum - Lung-ch'üan Ware of the Sung Dynasty, Hong Kong, 1962, p. 58, pl. 16. Three examples are also housed in the Percival David Foundation (accession numbers PDF 228, 276 and 279). One of these, formerly in the collection of the Imperial Family, is included in Illustrated Catalogue of Celadon Wares in the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art, rev. ed., London, 1997, p. 34, no. 228.Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related Longquan celadon tripod censer, also dated to the Southern Song dynasty, at Christie's New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 30 March 2005, lot 321, sold for USD 102,000. 南宋龍泉青瓷三足爐 中國,1127-1279年。爐呈鬲形,下承三乳足,上飾凸棱。玲瓏端秀,釉色粉青。色澤悅目,黑褐色的開片紋,足底形成積釉,並露出灰色内胎。 注意香爐內部的舊時氣味。 來源:法國南部私人老收藏。 品相:品相極好,邊沿一些磨損,燒製缺陷例如黑點和麻點。 鈣化現象與在土中或海中發掘相似。 雖然足部未上釉的區域呈深褐色,但在放大鏡下仔細觀察,發現這是污跡造成的,其下清晰可見精美的灰色陶胎。 重量:885.5 克 尺寸:高 12.7 厘米, 寬 16 厘米 (最寬処) 拍賣結果比較:一件相近龍泉青瓷三足爐,同樣為南宋,見紐約佳士得 Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art 2005年3月30日 lot 321, 售價USD 102,000。

Two stained and leaded glass panels, one probably for Pembroke College, Cambridge, 22 x 18cm, the other probably for Viscount Sidmouth, 22 x 19cm Blazon: barry of ten argent and azure, an orle of martlets gules (Valance) - impaling - gules, three pallets vair, on a chief or a label azure (St. Pol), probably for Pembroke College, Cambridge The arms are for Aymer de VALANCE (1275-1325) 2nd Earl of Pembroke during his second marriage in 1321 to Mary de St POL (1303-1377) daughter of Guy IV (1254-1371) Count of St Pol, France. Their short marriage was childless and after Aymer's death Mary de St POL was styled Countess of Pembroke, baroness Wexford, Ireland and baroness Bellac and Rancon, France. After the death of Aymer Mary never remarried and continued to use the arms of her husband until her death. This would usually mean that the arms can be dated 1321-1371 but on this occasion Mary de St POL went on to found in 1347 Pembroke College Cambridge, an the College have assumed the arms as their own ever since. This mean that the glass could be of any date since 1347 to the present day but the use of a dimidiated form suggests an earlier date.    Blazon: per pale ermine and ermines, on a chevron between three fleurs de lis, five lozenges all counterchanged (Addington), probably for Viscount Sidmouth No grant of arms to the ADDINGTON family has ever been recorded and exemplification during a Herald's Visitation has not taken place, however there is a record in the College of Arms manuscripts of the arms being used c1520 with four lozenges rather than five as in this lot. This is then confirmed in the later Burkes's Armory (1884), when the arms are used by the ADDINGTON family of High Bickington Devon who were from London. Burke's Armory also records arms derived from the original with five lozenges and fleurs de lis or for the Viscount Sidmouth (created 1805). Condition Report: Sidmouth:The lower section has been bent and consequently two of the glass panels are cracked and will repairing. This can be seen in the online image but not clearly - please see additional image for better detail. The Cambridge panel overall appears intact wihtout serious cracks to the glassPlease refer to additional images for visual reference to condition Condition Report Disclaimer

*Wilhelmina Geddes (1887-1955),Faith, Hope and Charity,a stained glass window, from St Paul's Church, St John's Hill Battersea, and made by Charles F Blakeman (1907-1989), with three two-part tracery panels, a quatrefoil panel and four spandrels, inscribed 'This window was designed by the late W. M. Geddes and made by C. F. Blakeman, 1956', also with cleaning instructions,lower panels 52cm wide, 42cm highcentral panel 52cm wide, 80cm highside panels 52cm wide, 95cm highcentral roundel 32cm wide, 33cm hightwo triangular larger 26 x 19cm two triangular smaller 21 x 11.5cm (11)Wilhelmina Geddes (1887-1955)Ulster-born Wilhelmina Geddes is widely regarded as one of the outstanding designers and makers of stained glass working in the first half of the twentieth century. Trained at Belfast Art School and the Metropolitan College of Art in Dublin, Geddes absorbed the expressive and technical principles of the Arts & Crafts Movement, translating these into a uniquely powerful personal idiom.Some of her earliest work was shown at the important Exhibition of British and Irish Decorative Arts at the Louvre, Paris, in 1914. Subsequently she was given the prestigious commission for a war memorial window (1919) in the Governor-General’s Church (St Bartholomew’s) in Ottawa. Made at the ‘Tower of Glass’ studio in Dublin, it was exhibited to great acclaim in London before its installation in Canada. Moving to London in 1925, she thereafter worked at the renowned ‘Glass House’ studios (Messrs Lowndes & Drury) in Fulham, London. Amongst the commissions she completed in the inter-war period, were windows for churches at Laleham in Middlesex (1926), Northchapel in Sussex (1930), Otterden in Kent (1933) and for St Martin’s Cathedral at Ypres, Belgium (1938). These and other works profoundly impressed younger artists such as Evie Hone and John Piper.The 3-light window depicting Virtues (Faith, Hope and Charity) was commissioned by the Rev. Chad Varah, a radical Anglican priest (and future founder of the Samaritans) who had been appointed rector of St Paul’s Church, St John’s Hill, Battersea (near Clapham Junction) in 1949. Intent on restoring and embellishing the church after war damage, Varah had contacted John Piper, seeking a recommendation for a modern stained glass artist. He was advised to contact Geddes who, despite poor health and struggling with work on two other commissions for London suburban churches – All Hallows, Greenford (1951-2) and St Mildred’s, Lee (1953-4) – agreed to make a design.By now, Geddes’ style had evolved into a remarkably distilled form of monumental expressionism, which was quite unique in British stained glass and which entailed subtle choices of coloured glass and intricate craft processes in the glass-painting. With the assistance of two young craftsmen, Donald Drury and Charles Blakeman, Geddes was able to finish the windows for Greenford and Lee, but her deteriorating eyesight and other ailments made it impossible for her to complete the full-size working cartoons for Battersea. After collapsing in the street and being admitted to St Pancras Hospital, Wilhelmina Geddes died, aged 68, on 10 August 1955.It was decided that the Battersea window, Geddes’ final commission, should be completed from the artist’s designs by Charles Blakeman, who was also working at the Fulham Glass House. Blakeman admired Geddes’ work immensely, having closely observed her design and craft techniques as she carried out her Greenford and Lee projects, and he was determined to do justice to her ideas for the window. The artist’s biographer, the late Dr Nicola Gordon Bowe, recorded that by ‘using Geddes’s sketches and cartoons, however illegible, Blakeman was able to adhere to her designs relatively faithfully while still producing a window clearly his own’. The window was finally unveiled in 1956, when it was seen by Rev. Chad Varah, who was ‘highly impressed’ by it.The window depicts Faith, Hope and Charity as three female angelic figures, whose seated forms fill each lancet. At the base of the window are two of the Evangelists and, in the centre, a scene of the Annunciation. Above the figure of Faith is a vignette of St Thomas and Christ, while Hope holds a miniature scene of Noah’s Ark and above Charity is a figure of St Mary Magdalene. The upper tracery lights contain depictions of the Moon and Sun with, in the centre, the Christ Child. An inscription in the right-hand light records that ‘THIS WINDOW WAS DESIGNED BY THE LATE W. M. GEDDES AND MADE BY C. BLAKEMAN 1956'.When St Paul’s church was amalgamated with another parish in the 1970s, the Geddes-Blakeman window was obscured by internal alterations to the building and was effectively inaccessible. The church was finally declared redundant in recent years and later converted to housing. As part of the structural alterations, the stained glass window was removed.
