* JAKE HARVEY RSA (SCOTTISH b. 1948), THE MAIDEN'S DREAM forged steel and welded found objects and stone, cast into bronze in an edition of 6, on stone base, signed and dated '89 91cm tall x 79cm wide Publication: Jake Harvey - Sculpture 1972-93. Catalogue produced to accompany the exhibition of Jake Harvey’s sculpture at the Talbot Rice Gallery in October 1993. Cat 105. Illustrated inside front cover. Reference by Douglas Hall page 22 Note: ‘My creative stimulus comes from many sources but frequently evolves from drawing things seen and imagined, from lived encounters with the landscape and, in the reductive process of carving, from embracing the tangential ways of making that evolve. The title of this exhibition of sculptures carved in basalt, granite, marble and porphyry relates to a material and a way of working it. In a broader context it links to my aim to create simple sculptural forms; works of distilled essence that invite deliberation from the viewer; sculptures made by a process of paring down and refining in terms of both form and concept.’ – Jake Harvey, 2022Jake Harvey is a sculptor of elemental works imbued with stillness, sense-stimulus and a sophisticated Zen-like simplicity. He carves granite, basalt, marble and limestone, often placing the simple abstract forms directly on the wall or floor, or sometimes on shaped bases that can be set indoors or outside within a landscape. After studying sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art (1966–72), Harvey went on to become the Head of School of Sculpture for eleven years. He is currently Emeritus Professor of Sculpture and lives and works in Maxton in the Scottish Borders. Increasingly intrigued by the relationship of man to the earth and enthralled by the shaping of earth by man and vice versa, his sculptures retain the indexical mark of the maker and often subtly imply an indeterminate use or function.
LUIS ALBERTO QUISPE APARICIO (20TH CENTURY): A LAPIS LAZULI FIGURE OF BUDDHA modelled seated on a turquoise pebble, highlighted in gold leaf with turquoise beads, raised on an agate plinth base, 35cm high x 31cm wide x 22cm deepProvenance: Bonham's, Lapidary Arts and Gems including The Rock H. Currier Collection, 27th October 2020.Note: This extraordinary Buddha sculpture was designed by Luis Alberto Quispe Aparicio, a world-respected glyptographer. He takes pride in working with precious stones, which have a rich colour and texture and give special character to his works. Following a second generation family tradition in the fabrication of objects d'art, Luis' studio specializes in the carving of rubies, the second hardest stone after diamonds. Few artists have managed to successfully work this mineral since it requires a very advanced technique for carving and polishing. His works are displayed in museums in the United States and Europe and are enjoyed by private collectors around the world.

A 'Lincoln Imp' George VI silver spoon. James Dixon & Sons, Sheffield, 1948. The terminal of the dessert spoon with cast finial designed as the Lincoln Imp, 17.8cm long, together with a Victorian provincial silver dessert spoon by James Barber, York, 1853, the Fiddle pattern stem and terminal decoratively engraved with foliage and scrolls framing a monogram, 17.8cm long, total weight approx. 2.6ozt (2) Footnotes: The Lincoln Imp is a 14th century carving in Lincoln Cathedral. A legend states that the Imp was sent to the cathedral by the Devil to spread mischief but it was turned to stone by an Angel. An 1899 reproduction was placed on the wall of Lincoln College, Oxford and although that one is now inside the college, a copy has been installed in its place. The use of the image on silver is associated with the prominent Lincoln citizen James Ward Usher (1845-1921) who inherited a Jewellers and Watchmakers business in the City. In the late 19th century he acquired the sole right to reproduce the Lincoln Imp on jewellery and silver and letters addressed to ‘The Silversmith who makes and sells the Lincoln Imp’ and one with only a sketch of the Imp found their way to him. Usher's personal art collection was left to the City as 'The Usher Gallery' and from 2005 has been merged with the other museums in the City

This is an exquisite early Renaissance polychrome wood sculpture depicting Saint Martin of Tours on horseback, captured in the moment of his legendary act of charity. In a dynamic and expressive pose, Saint Martin turns gracefully to share his cloak, symbolizing compassion and selflessness, a defining moment in Christian iconography.This piece is attributed to the French Lorraine School, a renowned artistic tradition that flourished in northeastern France during the late Gothic and early Renaissance periods. Lorraine artists were known for their expressive religious sculptures, seamlessly blending Gothic traditions with Renaissance humanism. The region's sculptors mastered naturalistic detailing, particularly in facial expressions, drapery, and anatomical realism, all of which are evident in this piece.The French Lorraine School retained strong Gothic influences throughout the late 15th century, while gradually incorporating Renaissance realism and emotional expressiveness into the early 16th century. This sculpture likely dates to the late 15th or early 16th century (circa 1470-1520). Its stylistic elements reflect the artistic traditions of this period, particularly those seen in works by Lorraine sculptors influenced by early French Renaissance carving techniques and the expressive stone sculptures of Ligier Richier (circa 1500-1567).Carved from wood with traces of original polychrome, the sculpture would have once been richly colored, enhancing its lifelike presence. The detailed rendering of Saint Martin's garments and the horse's dynamic posture is characteristic of Lorraine craftsmanship, while the subject matter reflects the region's deep devotion to saints and narrative-driven religious art.Saint Martin of Tours (circa 316-397 AD) was a Roman soldier-turned-bishop, renowned for his charitable deeds and monastic reforms. His act of dividing his cloak to clothe a beggar-immortalized in Christian legend-became a powerful symbol of generosity, inspiring countless artistic interpretations. His legacy endures through Martinmas (November 11), a feast day celebrating his contributions to the Church and European religious life.Approximate Dimensions: 34"L x 13"W x 45"H.Artist: French (Lorraine) SchoolIssued: Circa 1500Dimensions: See DescriptionCountry of Origin: FranceProvenance: John and Johanna Bass Collection, New York, NY; Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach, FL, 1963.
