Item Overview

Description

Attributed to Simon Troger, (German 1683 ~ 1768), a composed group of six carved and stained wood and ivory models of mendicants, circa 1750, comprising five male figures and an elderly female, all portrayed as standing or walking, with inset glass eyes and shown in ragged clothing, on carved and shaped wood bases, the largest 24.5cm high Simon Troger is considered to be one of the most prominent German sculptors of the late Baroque period. His figures and groups distinctively combined wood and ivory, with inset glass eyes, sometimes including details in metal. They were remarked upon as much for their expressive faces and theatrical poses as much as they were for the technical skill employed in their production Troger trained in Merano and Innsbruck, followed by sojourns in Italy, Copenhagen and finally Munich -the city in which he opened his own highly productive workshop by 1727. Troger's composite figures represent beggars and large and complex religious or secular compositions, generally using more ivory than wood. Some of the more important figural groups and statuettes are held at the Castle of Rosenborg in Copenghagen, London's Victoria & Albert Museum, the Staatliche Museum in Berlin, and with a major collection held at the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum in Munich Literature: Theuerkauff, C., Nachmittelalterliche Elfenbeine, Die Bildewerke in Elfenbein des 16 - 19 Jahrhunderts, Staatlichemuseen Berlin, Band II, Berlin, 1986, pp. 268 - 273, Cat.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

Credit & Debit Cards

Debit cards drawn on a UK bank and registered to a UK billing address. There is no additional charge for purchases made with these cards. Debit cards drawn on an overseas bank or deferred debit cards will be subject to a 3% surcharge.

Condition

Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the condition of each lot. Condition reports are available on request - see the Conditions of Business for more information regarding condition reports. Requests for condition reports must be submitted by 4pm on the day prior to the auction.

Commission Charges

Buyer's Premium 24% of the hammer price plus VAT (28.8% including VAT) for items up to £150,000, 18% (21.6% including VAT) on the balance of items with a hammer price of £150,001 up to and including £1,000,000, and 12% of the hammer price plus VAT (14.4% including VAT) in excess of £1,000,001. Buyers will pay an additional live bidding charge of 3% of the hammer price if lots are successfully purchased online.

VAT

VAT. (*) indicates that VAT is payable by the purchaser at the standard rate (presently 20%) on the hammer price as well as being an element in the buyer's premium. This imposition of VAT is likely to be because the seller is registered for VAT within the European Union and is not operating the Dealers Margin Scheme or because VAT is due at 20% on importation into the UK. The double symbol (**) indicates that the lot has been imported from outside the European Union and the present position is that these lots are liable to a reduced rate of VAT (5%) on the gross lot price (i.e. both the hammer price and the buyer's premium). Lots which appear without either of the above symbols indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers' Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.
