A LATE 19TH CENTURY CULTURED PEARL, CHALCEDONY AND ENAMEL PENDANT, CIRCA 1880Of quatrefoil design, centring a rectangular-shaped blue chalcedony, corners highlighted by foliate motifs, between red guilloché enamel scalloped quarters, within a twisted-wire frame highlighted with button-shaped and drilled cultured pearls, suspending a baroque-shaped cultured pearl, reverse applied with blue and red champlevé enamel spelling out ‘Ceciliæ, Cecilia, Tibiq and Raphel’, mounted in 18K gold, length 7.7cm During the 19th century, a growing fascination with the past sparked a revival of historical styles across Europe, most notably a resurgence of 15th- and 16th-century-inspired jewellery that celebrated the richness and artistry of the Renaissance. The opulence, vibrant colours, and ornate designs once favoured by the Tudor court and European aristocracy returned to prominence in the mid to late 1800s, in a period known as the Renaissance Revival. This movement was fuelled by jewellers who found inspiration in the exquisite pieces portrayed in Renaissance-era portraits, so much so that the term "Holbeinesque jewellery" emerged to describe these revivalist designs. The 19th century pendant in this auction can be closely compared to a pendant worn by Saint Cecilia in Raphael’s ‘La Sacra Conversazione’. Painted c.1514 by the young master Raphael, La Sacra Conversazione, also known as The Ecstasy of Saint Cecilia, was commissioned by the Bolognese noblewoman Elena Duglioli dall’Olio for the chapel dedicated to the saint in the church of San Giovanni in Monte, Bologna. The revival of this pendant’s design was led by the influential arts and crafts society Aemilia Ars, founded in Bologna in 1898 by Count Francesco Cavazza in collaboration with designer Rubbiani. The designs created by Rubbiani, including that of the St Cecilia pendant, were donated to the Museo della Tappezzeria in Bologna by the Cavazza family in 1994. Known for their patronage of Aemilia Ars, the Cavazza family played a key role in reintroducing historical artistic motifs to a contemporary audience. Marked with the annotation “Grandezza al vero” (actual size), the pendant came with a handwritten list from Rubbiani noting that it was copied from a Raphael painting and was later acquired by prominent figures such as Queen Margherita of Savoy, Queen Elena of Savoy, Princess Corsini, and the Princess of Essling. The design gained public attention when a pendant identical to the one featured in Raphael’s painting was displayed at the 1902 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Turin, highlighting its significance as an emblem of historical revivalism. While the design of the Saint Cecilia pendant was driven by Aemilia Ars and Rubbiani, the production is closely linked to the history of the Marchi family. Initially managed by Luigi Marchi alongside his son Raffaele Angelo from 1891 until Luigi’s retirement in 1894, the goldsmith firm was subsequently led by Raffaele Angelo alone, who was responsible for producing the Aemilia Ars pieces, including the St Cecilia pendant. Unlike some contemporaries who attempted to pass off their intricate reproductions as genuine Renaissance artifacts, the Marchi brothers were upfront about their work being modern creations inspired by historical designs. Over time, variations of the reproduced St. Cecilia have emerged, with differences in colour, materials, and detailing; including one version that sold at Christie’s in 1995 that featured a grey-green chalcedony at its centre. Another similar pendant held by the British Museum displays a deliberate colour reversal: where the original design presents a red central chalcedony, the museum’s version features a blue-stained stone, with the enamelled lobes of the quatrefoil rendered in red instead of blue. It is worth noting, across different examples of the reproduced pendant design, subtle differences can be seen in the inscriptions and decorative details; while the British Museum pendant is inscribed “RAPHAEL CAECILIAE CAECILIA TIBI:QV,” another version omits a letter in “Raphael,” streamlines “Caeciliae,” and leaves off the final “V,” along with variations in the reverse orientation and the thickness of the palmette motifs above the text.

A PAIR OF PEARL AND DIAMOND EARCLIPSPREVIOUSLY TWO LATE 19TH CENTURY BROOCHES, CIRCA 1890, LATER CONVERTED INTO EARCLIPSEach five-rayed star set with old brilliant and rose-cut diamonds, centring a button-shaped pearl measuring approximately 7.7mm, mounted in silver and gold, diamonds approximately 2.50cts total, length 2.7cm* Both pearls were verbally tested at GCS laboratory in London, in March 2025 and were confirmed to be natural, saltwater.The word pearl has long stood for something rare, beautiful, and valuable. For centuries, royalty prized natural pearls as symbols of purity and power. They form inside oysters or mussels, but how exactly they start growing remains something of a mystery. Truly natural pearls, those formed without any human involvement, are extremely rare, with most found being tiny, often smaller than a grain. Today, nearly all pearls on the market are cultured. This means they’re still real pearls, grown inside oysters, but with human help to start the process. Cultured pearls became widespread in the early 20th century, thanks to Japanese innovations in oyster farming. Condition Report: Pearls: approx. 7.79mm & 7.59mm, white tint with green and pink overtones, very good lustre, a couple of minor blemishes on the side of one pearlDiamonds: approx. 2.50cts total, estimated colour G-I, estimated clarity VS-SIEarclips for non pierced earsNormal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 10.5g

Registration – GAC 604CChassis No. – P1A10023.B.WM.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 87,136‘GAC 604C’ hails from 1965 and so is a pre-facelift example of the Daimler saloon, delineating it as the “2.5 V8” which would be renamed the “V8-250” at a later point. The 2.5 V8 was the first Jaguar designed car to wear a Daimler badge, basically being a re-branded MKII Jaguar saloon. ‘GAC 604C’ is a twelve former keeper car with the current vendor owning it for around 4 years or so. ‘GAC 604C’s’ odometer shows a recorded 87,136 miles which appears to be supported by the MOT history. This also suggests that the Daimler has covered less than 50 miles since 2010. ‘GAC 604C’ is classified as an Historic Vehicle and so is MOT exempt and zero rated for road tax. The Daimler was last MOT’d in 2019, comes from the large collection of an individual enthusiast, and is offered here with a history file and NO RESERVE.‘GAC 604C’ presents in the eye-catching and less common Opalescent Silver Blue livery with plenty of chromed brightwork to the radiator, bumpers and window surrounds. The Daimler is easily differentiated from its Jaguar cousin by the signature fluted radiator surround and boot trim piece. ‘GAC 604C’ sits on a desirable set of chromed, cross spoked wheels affixed with twin eared centre spinners complete with an embossed Daimler “D.” The luxurious cabin is finished in grey leather with blue carpets and plenty of wood veneer. The seats are heavily patinaed with the odd split and tear noted in places. Even the original push button radio is present, underlining the delightful originality of this example.The innovative 2.5-litre V8, Edward Turner designed engine fitted to is ‘GAC 604C’ one of the smallest production V8s ever produced. It is renowned for its smooth running as well as offering a great performance to economy ratio for a relatively heavy luxury saloon. ‘GAC 604C’ is fitted with a three speed Borg Warner automatic transmission with a column mounted gear change lever. Documents in the paperwork archive point to an earlier engine rebuild.In summary:The subject of an earlier engine rebuild reportedlyOffered in a desirable blue livery with a light grey interiorMOT exempt and zero rated for road tax

Registration – PYM 949Chassis No. – 91927M.O.T. – ExemptOdometer – 51,000This regal 1955 Daimler Century is the sole survivor of just three cars built by high-end coachbuilders Hooper to design number 8404A. The elegant and graceful dark green aluminium alloy coachwork is complemented by a Dove Grey leather interior finished off by lashings of wood veneer. This carries a fitting patina and includes a set of beautiful rear picnic tables. The odometer reads just 50,200 miles. ‘PYM949’, which was registered in March 1955, has a charming push-button radio and period dials including a rev counter. The large steering wheel is covered in leather with a column gearshifter behind it. Overall, it is a wonderfully evocative car and a unique opportunity.The Daimler Century was a development of the 1953 Daimler Conquest. This car featured running gear developed from the Lanchester 14 and it used a 2,433cc straight-six engine that produced 75bhp. The Conquest Century arrived in 1954; as its name suggests, it was a more potent version that produced 100bhp, thanks to a big-valve alloy cylinder head, higher compression ratio, high-lift camshaft and twin SU carburettors. This gave it a 90mph top speed and a 0-60mph time of 16.3 seconds – swift indeed by mid-1950s standards.In summary:The sole surviving Daimler Century design number 8404A by HooperOdometer reads just 50,200 milesUnique opportunity to acquire a very rare machine

The second incarnation of the Cortina was designed by Roy Haynes and was launched on 18th October 1966. One of the best loved versions of that Cortina appeared in 1967, the 1600E, which was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in October of that year. The mechanical specification included an 88bhp, 1600cc Cortina GT engine which achieved a fuel consumption of 25 miles per gallon. The 1600E interior came equally well equipped and included special rear bucket seats, reclining front seats, sports steering wheel, extra instruments and wood trim. Production ended in 1970 and, despite attempts at reviving the idea of an 'Executive' version of other, later models, Ford never recaptured the original feel of the Cortina Mk. II based 1600E. For 1969, the Mk. II model was given subtle revisions with separate 'FORD' block letters mounted on the bonnet and boot lid, a blacked-out grille and chrome strips above and below the rear lights running the full width of the rear panel on the Series II.Originally registered on 10th February 1970, this Series II 1600E presents well. The coachwork is in good order as is the interior. The 1599cc Kent engine runs very well, starts on the button and the gearbox operates as it should. Clearly this has been a very well looked after example. These were great cars and highly desirable when new, that desirability has continued throughout the life of Mk. II’s with good quality 1600E’s such as this, always in demand. This is a series two 1600E with the four clocks set in the wooden dashboard. Supplied with a V5C registration document together with a good history and collection of invoices, this Ford Cortina 1600E is sure to attract attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. Consigned by Stewart Banks. A GOOD HISTORY FOLDERRUNS AND DRIVES WELL
