TWO CIRCULAR ANGLO-GALLIC ENAMEL ROUNDELS 14TH CENTURY OR LATER Each with a fully caparisoned jousting knight; charging left and right and their arms being 'gules a bend d'or' and 'or a lion rampant sable armed gules' respectively; each subject contained in two distinct formal circular borders, one with plain colours; the other floral approximately 8.65cm diameter Saleroom Notice: Please note, the description has been updated and differs from the printed catalogue. These roundels are dated 14th century or later. "TWO CIRCULAR ANGLO-GALLIC ENAMEL ROUNDELS 14TH CENTURY OR LATER" Provenance: Formerly Lord Carmichael of Skirling collection, sold Sotheby & Co, New Bond Street, 8-10th June 1926, lot 412 and catalogued as; "Two medallions, decorated in champleve enamel, with knights in full armour on horseback, gilt, one medallion has a border of circles, the other a border with scrolling foliage with white flowers...English or French XIV century" (£420) This lot is sold with two reports. The first from Dr Peter Northover, an analysis and metallography report from November 2010 concludes; "The condition of the enamel, both in terms of its inhomogeneity and gas porosity, and its degradation are fully consistent with the proposed 14th century date. ...We may therefore accept these roundels as historic and authentic". The second from Sr Andrew Shortland, Cranfield University 2010 states: "The roundels have some of the characteristics of early enamels, with the correct range of colouring elements in most cases. However, they do not find an easy compositional fit with the enamels known from the three papers cited. There are three possible interpretations that might account for this:1.These are early enamels from an unknown workshop which is operating with different recipes to those so far identified;2. The roundels have been extensively restored sometime ago, mixing early enamels with later restorations containing modern colorants;3. They are a later production, perhaps from the nineteenth century.The presence of later colouring elements makes option 1 seem the least likely and can probably be ruled out. It is hard to determine purely compositionally whether 2 or 3 is the most possible. It is possible that the application of more sensitive techniques, either by destructive sampling for SEM-WDS or quasi-non-destructive techniques such as LA-ICPMS might reveal more. Similarly, a more comprehensive survey of the roundels to attempt to identify large areas of restoration might distinguish between 2 and 3. However, this present short study is unable to determine with any certainty precisely how much of the enamels dates from the early period and how extensive later additions might be."
