AFTER THE ANTIQUE- A WHITE BISCUIT PORCELAIN MODEL OF THE BORGHESE CENTAUR BY GIOVANNI VOLPATO (1735-1803), LATE 18TH CENTURY Impressed stamp to one side of plinth G. Volpato Roma 28cm high, base 18cm wide There are two Roman forms of these large centaur sculptures. The first are the 'Furietti' pair in Laconian grey black marble which were discovered during excavations at Hadrian's Villa in Rome during the 1720s. That pair were purchased by Cardinal Furietti, whose descendants sold the centaurs to Pope Clement XIII after which they were added to the Capitoline Museum collection. This form, with the young Eros figure riding on the back of the older of the two centaurs, was excavated in Rome in the 17th century and entered into the Borghese collection. Together with 694 other statues it was acquired from Camillo Filippo Ludovico Borghese by Napoleon in 1807 and is now held in the Louvre Museum. Working in white biscuit, Volpato mimics the white marble of the original and a pair of centaurs by Volpato are held in the Museum of Arts and Crafts Hamburg (1878.564.a).

A REGENCY PAPIER MACHE AND GILT-JAPANNED TRAY IN THE MANNER OF HENRY CLAY, EARLY 19TH CENTURY Decorated with landscapes, pagodas and sail boats on an associated simulated bamboo stand 43cm high, 62cm wide, 47cm deep Henry Clay was renowned for his japanning and papier mache business which he conducted out of Birmingham and then London's fashionable Covent Garden from 1772 until his death in 1812. In 1772, he received a patent for a special process of pasting sheets of paper together and stove hardening them to produce a durable substance suitable for furniture wares. This process was distinct from that for making true mache, which used a mixture of pulped paper, glue and chalk and originated in Persia, coming to England via France in the seventeenth century. He decorated his products in the Etruscan (Classical) or Chinese taste. The patent expired in 1802 at which time rival factories began production and continued to use the Clay name throughout the nineteenth century. The 1851 Great Exhibition catalogue noted that the Clay method was superior to the traditional method of papier mache production (G. Beard and C. Gilbert, eds., Dictionary of English Furniture Makers, 1660-1840, 1986, pp. 176-177; E. Joy, English Furniture, 1800-1851, 1977, pp. 271-272).
