CONDITIONS OF SALE

sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cata-
loguing or imperfection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold
as is" and without recourse.
(C

sponsible parties on orders transmitted to it by mail, telegraph, or
telephone, if conditions permit, will be faithfully attended to without
charge of commission. Any purchases so made will be subject to the
foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase
of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not
through himself or his agent been present at the exhibition or sale, the
Association will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from
the date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded if the lot
differs from its catalogue description. Orders for execution by the
Association should be given with such clearness as to leave no room
for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given,

and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects
of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated.
If the one
transmitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit must
be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be
given.
These conditions of sale cannot be altered except by the
auctioneer or by an officer of the Association

FOREWORD
T
HE objects of vertu contained in the collection of the late Edith
Kingdon Gould are emblematic of the elegant manners and cus-
toms of the courts of England and France during the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries; they likewise afford a comprehensive view of
the progress of the goldsmith's and enameler's art of the period to a
degree of perfection unattained since the age of Cellini.
England had produced comparatively little work in enamel until
the mid-eighteenth century; foreign specimens, however, were highly
esteemed, from the early triumphs of Limoges to the beautiful portrait
work of Petitot and Zincke. 'Battersea' enamels as we know them today
were made between 1750 and 1775, not only in Battersea, but in other
districts of England; the delightful industry flourished but a short time
owing to the competition of the Saxon manufactories. Of this art, the
collection contains numerous étuis, snuff boxes and bonbonnières in the
desirable rose enamel, and a fine pair of gros bleu candlesticks.
Attention is directed to the beautiful chased gold and tortoise-shell
snuff boxes with inset miniatures, and in particular to the superb gold and
red jasper box [No. 124], inset with the famous portrait of Cardinal
Richelieu by Jean Petitot [1607-1691], and formerly the property of the
King of Saxony; the Directoire tortoise-shell snuff box [No. 128] with
inset panoramic miniature by Henri Désiré Van Blarenberghe [1734-
1812]; an exquisite gold box [No. 127] with miniature landscape paint-
ings and portrait of Mme. de Pompadour; and a delicately carved agate
box mounted in chased gold [No. 122] of the Louis XVI period.
The miniature paintings form an interesting group, containing exam-
ples given to the early limners Nicholas and Lawrence Hilliard, the
Olivers and John Hoskins, and three portraits attributed to the brush
of Hans Holbein. With these are included examples by the brilliant
group of masters who revived the art in the eighteenth century: Engleheart,
Richard Cosway, Nathaniel Plimer and Ozias Humphrey, and several
unidentified works of the French miniaturists.
The magnificent Louis XV and XVI fans of the collection are marvels
of skilful and patient craftsmanship in ivory, tortoise-shell and silver;
no pains were spared to beautify these delicate weapons of femininity. The
foils are hand-painted in gouache, often by the best masters of the day,
with the mythological and pastoral frivolities which survived on the éven-
tail long after classicism had triumphed elsewhere.
A Limoges triptych [No. 126] from the Penicaud atelier contains
twelve plaques depicting scenes from the Passion, beautifully enameled
from a palette rich in a variety of colors, superbly fused.
The fine Louis XVI marqueterie secrétaire [No. 157], signed by the
master J. C. Stumpff, is simple and elegant of proportion, and an im-
portant specimen of the ébénisterie of the period.

Note: Jean Petitot [1607-1691] was born in Geneva, where he commenced
work in enamel with his colleague Bordier. They went to England and
later to Italy, executing miniatures to the commission of Charles I; about 1645
Petitot came to France and commenced work for Louis XIV. After the revoca-
tion of the Edict of Nantes, Petitot escaped to Geneva in 1687, where he
died four years later. In the words of Walpole: "It is idle to write a
panegyric on the greatest man in any vocation," and Petitot was unques-
tionably the greatest master of all workers in enamel.

snuff boxes, fans, bonbonnières and rings, which are distinguished not only
by the charm of their composition and delicacy of execution, but by the
microscopic minuteness of detail. The most famous of the Van Blarenberghe
miniature paintings are in the collection of Miss Alice de Rothschild. Vide:
