NOTWITHSTANDING THIS REPORT OR ANY DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING CONDITION OF A LOT, ALL LOTS ARE OFFERED AND SOLD "AS IS" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE PRINTED IN THE CATALOGUE. Provenance The Duke of Cambridge, Christie’s, London, June 6, 1904, (a set of six, the date given as 1827) A Collector, Christie’s, New York, April 28, 1992, lot 162 Notes The initial and royal ducal coronet are those of Adolphus Frederick, 1st Duke of Cambridge (1771-1850), seventh son of George III. These appear to be copies of a set of four antique silver-gilt “foreign cyder cups” purchased by John Bridge at the famous sale of the Duke of York in 1827, and fit the new taste for Historicist silver shared by the Prince Regent and the Royal Dukes and fostered by Rundell, Bridge and Rundell and Kensington Lewis. The 1st Duke of Cambridge engaged the Royal Goldsmiths, Rundell, Bridge and Rundell to bid on his behalf at the Duke of York sale, where he acquired a Shield of Achilles by Philip Rundell and a pair of Mannerist-style ewers by Edward Farrell. It is probable that the four “foreign cyder cups", engraved and embellished with friezes of?minute figures and landscapes, of old Flemish design…contained in a box of purple morocco, lined with blue velvet” were purchased by Bridge on behalf of the Duke, Christie’s, March 19-22, 1827, lot 97- a set of six, sold as three pairs, of which two were bought by Bridge. Six of the cups made by Bridge in 1828 were described as “copies of old German cups” and were sold in?the sale of the 2nd?Duke of Cambridge (1818-1904) who inherited his father’s collection of silver including the Achilles Shield and the Farrell ewers (Christie’s, London, June 6 ,1904, lot 86) Three beakers by Eustachius Hohman, Nuremberg, circa 1590, formerly in the Pringsheim Collection which appear to be identical to the present lot were sold Christie’s, Geneva, November 9, 1976, lot 251 and may be part of the set of “four foreign cyder cups” listed above. The same scenes?appear on a pair of beakers by Gallus Wernlein, Nuremberg, 1592-94, Moscow State museum, Kremlin illus.?Nürnberger?Goldschmiedekunst, 1541-1868, no. 576, p. 933 while similar engraved insects and swags may be found on a Satzbecher by Heinrich Mack, Nuremberg, 1612-1626, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, illus. op. cit. no.579?p. 934. The scenes are taken in part from The Months by Virgil Solis (1514-1562), who himself drew on Hans Sebald Beham (1500-1550). See?Michèle Bimbenet-Privat?and Alexis Kugel,?Chefs-d'oeuvre d'orfèvrerie allemande Renaissance et Baroque,?Faton, Paris, 2017, nos. 15-16, pp. 110-111 (Chateau d'Ecouen, Louvre).
