Finch & Co
Workshop of Georg Pfründt (Germany, 1603-1663) Goblet and support raised upon a turned pear-wood base Narwhal, wood South Germany, 17th century H 16.5 cm Provenance: London art market 1960s; private collection Georg Pfründt (1603-1663), born in Franconia, trained under one of the greatest ivory carvers of the Renaissance, Leonard Kern (1588-1662). Moving to Strasbourg in 1639, Pfründt worked in the service of Charles Ludwig, Elector Palatine, and Duke Eberhard VIII of Würtemberg. The goblet is carved in the same style as the equally celebrated 'Nef' favoured by princely courts for their kunstkammer (the 17th century art chamber) developed out of a medieval treasury which in turn became the Renaissance studiolo. The use of narwhal in this cup adds to the sense of rarity and exotica.

Galerie Mathivet
Claude Lalanne (Paris 1925-2019 Fontainebleau) Pomme d'Or, 1970 18k yellow gold H 10.5 cm Monogrammed CL, numbered 3/5, guarantee hallmark Provenance: André Mourgues; Alexandre Iolas collection (Alexandre Iolas, a dealer who was a great supporter of the Surrealists and the New Realists) Claude Lalanne's world is poetic. She moulds bodies, leaves, apples and cabbages, then combines them. Her creations include L'Homme à tête de chou, La Pommebouche and L'Escargot doigt. These pieces are dreamlike, reminiscent of the Baroque world. Yves Saint Laurent, one of her most loyal customers, said: "What moves me about her is that she has managed to combine craftsmanship and poetry in the same exacting way. Her beautiful sculptor's hands seem to push aside the mists of mystery to reach the shores of art". This 'pomme bouche' could also be reminiscent of the world of Magritte...
