Epoque Fine Jewels
A magnificent Art Deco diamond tiara by Chaumet, designed as a series of rounded greek motifs, set with old mine cut, rose cut and single cut diamonds, mounted in platinum and gold. Millegrain setting. Since its foundation in 1780, Chaumet has created over 3500 unique tiaras. This tiara was made in Paris in 1909 as a wedding tiara for the daughter of Count and Countess de Heeren. Although most tiaras from that period were still made in the Garland style or the traditional 19th century style with floral and scroll motifs, this particular piece announces the more geometrical style of the Art Deco period which reached its peak in the 1920s.

Console Carved and gilded poplar with top marble Royal Palace Workshop, Turin, circa 1755-1760 H 90 x W 84 x D 62 cm Provenance: private collection, Turin, Italy Literature: Vittorio Viale, Mostra del barocco piemontese. Mobili ed intagli, Turin, 1963, tav. 69; Roberto Antonetto, Il mobile piemontese nel Settecento. Vol. II, Turin, 2010, p. 217, n° 22 Exceptional wall console, with four cross legs, streamlined and elegant in shape. The wood has been inlaid with exquisite workmanship and worked with two types of gold, ‘shiny gold leaf’ and ‘dull gold leaf to give a depth and accentuate the richness of the engraving. The extraordinary rococò decoration of Palazzo Reale and Palazzo Carignano is perfectly evident in this console, in particular in the spirals and rippling flowers on the leg tops. Other exceptional features are the leaves under the table and the large flower at the crossover of the legs. The elegant, flowing line of the legs is accompanied by an amazing expressive force and the quality of the inlay; multiple spirals, flowers, leaves, vegetation stylings and a beautifully elegant curl, which bring to mind the best works of the greatest Piedmontese wood engravers like Piffetti, create a unique whole of the best quality. The top of the console is closed by a small Greek fret typical of Louis XV in which the marble is slotted, this too being of exquisite manufacture.

Octavianus Montfort (Italy, 1646-1696) Still life Tempera on vellum Turin, circa 1680-85 H 40 x W 52 cm Provenance: Kerbastick Castle, Lanvin-Polignac collection, France This painting, which represents the highest quality of Monfort production, reflects the scrolls in which the artist prefers a Still Life with more fruits, to symbolize abundance, the wealth of art. The remarkable quality of execution and setting a harmonious whole with detailed attention to the colors of each fruit related to create a color balance of the whole work. The beautiful ultramarine blue vase falls in the foreground of a beautiful pink painted with delicate brush strokes. A wonderful variety of fruits including cherries, pears, apricots and lazzeruoli. We can recognize a hibiscus flower blue and a beautiful rose. Drs. Arabella Cifani defines: '...This beautiful miniature, is an original work of Monfort and is comparable with specific references to other artist’s works'. She adds: 'The parchement has strong references in his very fine grained with coloristic works by Giovanna Garzoni'.
