It is common practice for many gemstones to be treated by a variety of methods to enhance their appearance and the internationaljewellery trade has generally accepted these methods.

28A NAPLES SAUCEBOAT STAND FROM THE HERCULANEUMSERVICE (SERVIZIO ERCOLANESE), REAL FABBRICAFERDINANDEA, 1781/82oval, painted either by Giacomo Milano or Antonio Cioffi with ascene of a winged putto grasping a goat by the horns in alandscape, the foliate guilloche moulded border interrupted byfour gilt-tooled vignettes of birds, a duck and a swan, gilt line rims,reverse titled in red MUS. ERCOL. / SERIE DI PITT. / FANCIULLO,CHE LOTTA / CON UN CAPRONE. above crowned FRF mark19.6cm long

Provenance: The collection of Robin Wigington (1932-2002).

The Herculaneum Service was commissioned by Ferdinand IV ofNaples and delivered to Madrid in the autumn of 1782 as a gift tohis father, Charles III of Spain. King Ferdinand’s newly promoteddirector at the royal porcelain factory, Domenico Venuti, created forthis commission an innovative service, departing from previousrather derivative models heavily inspired by Sèvres, taking insteaddesign inspiration from the frescos and other antiquities whichwere being excavated all around the bay of Naples. Venuti waspersonally connected with the discoveries from antiquity, as hisfather, Marcello Venuti, had been director of the archaeologicalprojects since 1740, responsible for the excavations and for manyof the influential volumes of ‘Le Antichità di Ercolano esposte’published between 1757-1798.

The Herculaneum service comprised seventy-one pieces in total,plus some serving cutlery, each piece painted by the headdecorator Milani and his colleague, Cioffi. It included twosauceboats and this present dish can be identified as the stand forone of them: the pair to this stand was sold Bonhams, London, 8December 2010, lot 146, painted with an opposing scene of a puttograsping a deer by its horns. These two stands and a plate in anItalian private collection appear to take their design directly fromthe fresco vignettes of cupids hunting or struggling with animals,originally found in the cryptoporticus of the House of the Deer inHerculaneum (see accompanying illustration, which relatesdirectly to the plate illustrated in Le porcellane dei Borboni diNapoli....., ed. A. Caròla-Perrotti, p.333).

It is not known how this famous and rare service came to bebroken up; other known surviving pieces include a plate at theVictoria and Albert Museum, four pieces in the Museo Duca diMartina in Naples and two bottle coolers in Italian privatecollections, as well as four pieces sold by Sotheby’s and Christie’sat auctions in London, and a group of three pieces from the Barillacollection, sold Sotheby’s, London, 14 March 2012, lots 228/233/234.

For an account of the service’s journey to Spain, as well as moreon the artists who worked on it, see the document published atthe end of the nineteenth century by the historian Camillo MinieriRiccio and reproduced by A. Caròla-Perrotti, La Porcellana dellaReal Fabbrica Ferdinandea, 1978, note 20, pp.56-57; also see: Leporcellane dei Borboni di Napoli, Capodimonte e Real FabbricaFerdinandea, Naples, 1986, pp.327-341, ed.

This painting is characteristic of Roy’s new, more abstracted stylewhich he developed from the late 1940s.

Provenance: Given as a silver wedding present to SebastianHenry Petre (1856-1934) and his wife Elise (née Sibeth 1855-1946)of Tor Bryan House, Ingatestone, by their sons Henry Aloysius(1864-1932) and Edward (1886-1912); thence by family descent tothe present vendor. Sebastian Petre was a grandson of William,11th Baron Petre, from whose son he acquired the land named TorBryan after family estates in Devon. Henry and Edward Petre,although trained as a solicitor and an architect respectively,became pioneering aviators. In the workshop at Tor Bryan, theybuilt an aircraft which was exhibited at the 1910 Olympia AeroShow. Unfortunately Henry subsequently crashed this craft on its

maiden flight at Brooklands, since although possessed of theskills to build a plane, the brothers had yet to acquire to skills tofly one. Henry went on to master the art of flying, becoming afounder of the Australian Flying Corps and commander of theMesopotamian Half Flight, although returning to the law after thewar. Greater tragedy struck his brother Edward, who crashedfatally on Christmas Eve 1912, attempting the first solo flight fromBrooklands to Edinburgh. These brothers had always beeninterested in metalwork and making things and by family reputehad a hand in executing this dish, perhaps visiting the workshopsof the Guild of Handicraft at Chipping Camden.

Although electroplate versions of the dish may be found,examples in silver are rare; for a similar dish and cover (withmore elaborate finial and chrysoprase cabochons set to the rim ofthe body), hallmarked 1900, see the Victoria and Albert MuseumNo.M.42:1 to 3-1972; also for another version (with amethystcabochon and plain rim) hallmarked 1906, see Bonham’s, NewYork, 18 June 2007, lot 2000.

Provenance: James Alexander Douglass (1800?-1862), thence bydescent through the Petre family to the present vendor. JamesDouglas(s) of Lincoln’s Inn Fields and Ealing married in 1838 MaryAgnes Petre (1820-1886), elder daughter of William Henry Francis,11th Baron Petre, at the Petre’s seat of Thorndon Hall in Essex.Crown heart brooches, often in silver, are commonly known asLuckenbooth brooches, given traditionally in Scotland as weddingpresents. This brooch, known in the family as the ‘Douglas Heart’is also symbolic of the heart featuring in the Douglas coat ofarms. Sir James Douglas carried Robert the Bruce’s heart onCrusade in 1330, but died at the battle of Teba in Andalucia. Hisheart (together with Robert the Bruce’s) was brought back toScotland and apparently thereafter the arms of the Douglas familywas changed to incorporate the crowned heart.

Provenance: Monsignor William Petre, (1847-1893), who became 13th Baron Petre onthe death of his father in 1884, a Roman Catholic writer and educator.

Run on highlyunconventional lines, the school failed in 1884, but undaunted Monsignor Petreestablished another school at Northwood Park on the Isle of Wight the same year;sadly this too was doomed to failure within a twelvemonth.
