570. A lamp stand, with pierced rim—engraved:56 oz 10 dwt., at 6s 11d per oz. Wells. 19 10 9.

644. A noble tankard, with the triumph of Neptune—exquisitely carved in ivory, in high relief; the cover a group of marine deities surmounted by a figure—on gilt stand, embossed, with terminal figures at the handles. Baron Charles Rothschild. 184 16 0. This tankard is of noble proportions, measuring no less than 17 inches high. The design is executed in pure antique Italian taste and represents the Triumph of Neptune, exquisitely sculpted in very high relief, the figures being most admirably drawn in the flowing and vigorous style of Rubens. The lid has a beautiful group of tritons and sea-nymphs—also of ivory—upon it; and the whole is crowned by a figure of a boy holding a tazza. The base of the tankard is nicely designed; and the handle is of fine character, and embellished with terminal figures. This beautiful work of art excited great competition. It ran up to 120 guineas rapidly; from that point Mr Russell and Mr Garrard were not much interfered with; these two gentlemen carried it on merrily, however, until at length the hammer fell at 176 guineas, on which Mr Manson declared the lot the property of Mr Russell [of New Coventry Street], who bought it for the Baron Charles Rothschild, of Naples.
