WORKS OF ART FROM THE SCHRODER COLLECTIONS (LOTS 119-176) AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SCHRODER COLLECTION The Schroder family came to England from Hamburg in the late eighteenth century and became amongst the most successul of Europe's merchant bankers. Johann Friedrich Schroder established a trading company in London around 1801 and was later joined by his brother, Johann Heinrich (1784-1883), who set up his own business in 1818, J. Henry Schroder & Co. Johann Heinrich was succeeded by his son, Baron Sir John Henry (1825-1910), who acquired works of art on a grand scale. He displayed his extensive collection at The Dell, an old hunting lodge on the edge of Windsor Great Park from which Christie’s sold pieces, both in 1910 over two days and the residual contents in a three-day house sale in 1979 . His collection included Chinese cloisonné enamel, Medieval and Renaissance silver, pictures, Sèvres porcelain, gold snuff boxes and Renaissance works of art and many of the pieces in this collection were undoubtedly purchased by Baron Sir John. John Henry had no children, and appointed his nephew, Baron Bruno Schroder (1867-1940), the grandfather of the late Baron Bruno Schroder (1933-2019), as his heir. Four exceptional lots of cloisonné enamels from the Schroder Collection will be offered in the Art d'Asie sale, Christie's Paris, 6 July 2022.
