        λ BORIS VASILYEVICH ANREP (1883-1969), A LARGE AND RARE MOSAIC PANEL, EARLY 20TH CENTURY

        Est: £700 - £1,000

        λ BORIS VASILYEVICH ANREP (1883-1969), A LARGE AND RARE MOSAIC PANEL EARLY 20TH CENTURY Of roundel form with depiction of figure of a saint, holding branch above a font, staff and banner to left hand 108cm diameter, 3cm deep Provenance: Commissioned by Augustus John for his house at 28 Mallord Street London in 1919 together with a large overmantel mosaic depicting John and his family. The two were covered up with panelling and only rediscovered when the family who had purchased the property in 1962- redecorated the property in 1970. The overmantel was subsequently removed and sold to the V&A Museum which holds it still (Accession Number A.7PART/1-1971). Anrep was feted for his skill as an artist in mosaics during his lifetime and a close friend of many of the members of the Bloomsbury Group. However he is relatively little known today. Partially this is because his work was commissioned for- and remains in- large institutions such as the National Gallery, Westminster Cathedral and the Bank of England. When his mosaic floors at the National Gallery were completed in 1952 a party was held to celebrate - attendees included T.S. Elliot, Somerset Maugham, Augustus John, Ben Nicholson, Cecil Beaton, Noel Coward and Winston Churchill. Little or any of his mosaic work seems to have appeared at auction. A copy of an annotated image showing the work in situ at 28 Mallord Street London, is available with this lot.
