FA Cup medal from 1877, 'Football Association Challenge Cup Wanderers 1877'. 2.5 cm diameter. Wanderers Football Club was an English association football club. It was founded as "Forest Football Club" in 1859 in Leytonstone. In 1864, it changed its name to "Wanderers", a reference to it never having a home stadium, instead playing at various locations in London and the surrounding area. Comprising mainly former pupils of the leading English public schools, Wanderers was one of the dominant teams in the early years of organised football and won the inaugural Football Association Challenge Cup (now known as the FA Cup) in 1872. The club won the competition five times in total, including three in succession from 187678, a feat which has been repeated only once. The 1877 FA Cup final was a football match between Wanderers and Oxford University on 24 March 1877 at Kennington Oval in London. It was the sixth final of the world's oldest football competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup (known in the modern era as the FA Cup). Wanderers were the reigning cup-holders and had won the competition three times in total. Wanderers won the match 2-1.

* BILL WRIGHT RSW RGI DA (SCOTTISH 1931 - 2016), SEA KELP gouache on paper, signedmounted, framed and under glass (slipped in the mount)image size 21cm x 29cm, overall size 42cm x 47cm Note: Bill Wright's talent first became evident when he was a boy, drawing endlessly for amusement while bedbound with illness. He went on to study painting at Glasgow School of Art and became an award-winning watercolourist, constantly inspired by was seascape and ever-changing sky on the Kintyre peninsula where he had a second home. Glasgow-born Wright, the son of a shipyard plater, was brought up in Partick and started his schooling at the city’s Dowanhill Primary before being evacuated to Dunoon during the Second World War. After returning home he attended Hyndland Senior Secondary and despite being discouraged by his parents, who would have preferred him to have a “proper job”, in 1949 he began his studies at Glasgow School of Art. They were interrupted by national service – a duty he felt hindered the progression of his art career. He served at Catterick army garrison but was a pacifist who abhorred war and dismissed the opportunity to be promoted to Sergeant as an army career held no interest. His first teaching post was at East Park School in Glasgow’s Maryhill. He then moved in 1965 to St Patrick’s High School in Dumbarton where he spent two years before becoming art adviser for the area at the age of 36. Over the next two decades he fostered the idea of instilling a cultural interest in art among pupils. He formed working groups to reform teaching of first and second-year students, encouraged forward-looking principal teachers and recruited many young teachers. His ethos was that teachers were not just there to create artists but to give all children a good art experience. He also established a residential art course for school children, at the Pirniehall residential educational facility at Croftamie in Dunbartonshire, where youngsters from different backgrounds could investigate the idea of furthering an art career through experiencing a range of different mediums in an art camp environment. And he is said to have been instrumental in encouraging the implementation of Scotland’s Standard Grade art and design qualification. However, he suffered from the chronic arthritic condition ankylosing spondylitis which, by the age of 55, forced him to take early retirement from his post in the education department of Strathclyde Regional Council. Meanwhile, as he had strived to enthuse youngsters with his own passion for art, he had been elected, in 1977, to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. A member of the Glasgow Arts Club for many years, he was also an elected member of the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and Paisley Art Institute, served as president of the Scottish Artists’ Benevolent Association for 14 years and was a Scottish Arts Council lecturer, touring the country discussing art. But perhaps his own greatest inspiration was the view from a cottage he stumbled upon half a century ago, seven miles from Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre. He rented the property at Bellochantuy and set up a studio there where he drew on the vistas stretching 180 degrees, encompassing sea, beach, rocks and sky. He was utterly smitten by the area and was ultimately bequeathed the cottage by the owner who had become a close family friend. Over the years he came to know the area intimately and was fascinated by the constantly changing moods of the sea and light of the sky which formed the majority of his output. One large body of work, "Towards Islay", focused on the view from the back of the cottage. He captured the patterns and waves of the sea, sometimes adding a bird, limpit, mermaid’s purse, rock lines or some seaweed. But at times his works were very abstract and symbolic, concentrating on themes of nature and transience. He was hung in all the major shows in Scotland and in galleries across the country from Aberdeenshire to Edinburgh, Glasgow and south of the border. His work also features in public collections of Stirling and Strathclyde Universities, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and the Educational Institute of Scotland. And he was recognised with The Laing Prize for Landscape and Seascape and the RSW’s Sir William Gillies Award.

* ALEXANDER GOUDIE RP RGI (SCOTTISH 1933 - 2004), MAINEE AT THE MIRROR mixed media on paper, signed mounted, framed and under glassimage size 50cm x 54cm, overall size 88cm x 92cm Provenance: We are grateful to Lachlan Goudie, artist, writer, broadcaster and the leading authority on the work of his father for authenticating this work and confirming that the lady is Alexander Goudie's wife (Lachlan's mother) Marie-Renee Dorval who was known as "Mainee". Lachlan believes this work is likely to be from the late 1970s.Note: Alexander Goudie was born in 1933 at Paisley and, as a child, showed prodigious talent for drawing. He studied at Glasgow School of Art when William Armour was head of drawing and painting and David Donaldson was the ubiquitous influence. Goudie, as a student at Glasgow, demonstrated his extraordinary ability. He received the Somerville Shanks Prize for Composition and, later, his draughtsmanship and sense of colour was recognized with the award of the Newbery Medal. As a young artist he grew up admiring three great masters, Sir John Lavery, George Henry and James Guthrie; all artists who had bridged the gap between Glasgow and Paris. It was these artists’ glorious virtuoso control of oil paint that appealed to Goudie, as well as their genre and realist subject-matter. Alexander Goudie was elected a member of the Glasgow Art Club in 1956 and a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in 1970. He painted a portrait of the Queen for the Caledonian Club, London (1992/93), and exhibited widely, showing at Harari and Johns, in London, the Fine Art Society, Glasgow, and the Musee de la Faience, in Quimper. Sir Timothy Clifford, former Director of the National Galleries of Scotland, wrote: ''At his best, Goudie could draw better than any of his rivals in Scotland. There was magic and vision in his art and, I expect, history will be kind to him.'' Collections: 79 of Goudie's paintings are held in UK public collections including at Glasgow Museums & Galleries, The Hunterian, Rozelle House Galleries, Paisley Museum & Art Galleries and The Fleming Collection (London). Numerous prestigious corporate collections in the UK and France and in private collections around the world.

Robertson. Kelsey has earned a formidable reputation as one of Scotland's finest and most sought after contemporary artists. His numerous one man shows in London in particular enjoy huge success and his sell out exhibition at Thompson's Gallery (London) in 2004 was reported on BBC's "Breakfast" as "one of the biggest contemporary art exhibitions in London in recent years". The prestigious Thompson's Gallery described the event as "the most successful solo exhibition we have ever had". Robert has been a regular exhibitor for many years at The Royal Glasgow Institute, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Paisley Art Institute, The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and The Royal Scottish Academy. He has enjoyed success in New York , Budapest and Chicago and is widely exhibited throughout the UK. He has featured in many magazines including "Homes & Interiors" and "Scotland Magazine" and BBC News 24 has reported his achievements. The book "Robert Kelsey-the artist" was published in 2004. His style is distinctly "Contemporary Scottish Colourist" and although his work reveals his GSA training the strongest influences remain Peploe and Cadell. Robert writes : "I love the loneliness and serenity to be found at certain locations such as the beaches of the Outer Hebrides. I say "loneliness", which sounds like a bad thing, better to describe it as being at peace in serene places, where you can be alone with your thoughts, listen to the sea birds and the trickle of water". Robert's home and studio are in Paisley but his commercial success has allowed him to travel the world in search of the light and colour that are such strong features within his work. This broadening of horizons has been reflected in his "gallery prices" as his career and reputation continues to flourish. Kelsey collectors include : Sir Arnold Clark, The Duke of Bedford, Lord McFarlane of Bearsden, Cairn Energy PLC, Credit Lyonnais Bank, Taylor Woodrow, The Dunfermline Building Society, Highland Spring Water, Enterprise Oil, Paisley Art Gallery, Turnberry Hotel & Golf Club, Alliance & Leicester Building Society, Arisaig Partners (Asia) and The Fleming Collection.

* GRAEME W BAXTER BEM (SCOTTISH), GLENEAGLES oil on canvas, signed and dated '88framedimage size 61cm x 76cm, overall size 79cm x 94cm Note: Graeme Baxter is the Official Artist to some of the World's most important golf tournaments, such as The Ryder Cup, The Open Championship, The Presidents Cup, The Kraft Nabisco Championship and ANA Inspiration as well as Artist to the PGA Tour and European Tour. With his work displayed in clubhouses at St. Andrews, Augusta, Pebble Beach, Dubai, Mission Hills and Pine Valley in China, Graeme possesses a unique ability to historically record golf landscapes and portraits that capture his passion for the game. Graeme's paintings are displayed in almost 40 countries. Born in Scotland in 1958, it wasn't long before Graeme realized he had a penchant for drawing and he recalls that he not only had a natural talent but also shared a similar passion. A second love was for golf, which was borne out of watching his father play the game, honing his own game in the backyard by hitting into a practice net, plus watching with admiration some of the epic duels between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson in the British Open and the U.S. Open. "Art came first, and the love of golf came second", says Graeme, who went on to study at The Glasgow School of Art. It was his painting of the 17th Hole at The Old Course, St. Andrews that helped launch his career. When the painting was shown to Sir Michael Bonallack, the then secretary of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, he remarked that it was one of the finest golf paintings he had ever seen. A second painting of the clubhouse at Turnberry, again enthusiastically received, convinced Graeme of his career path. While Graeme considers himself fortunate to be able to marry his two passions, art and golf into a profession, he takes his role of a "Golf Historian" very seriously. "My goal is to record golf history through my paintings" he says. "I like to be accurate but not photographically accurate. I am looking to find the heart of a golf course, grasp the many details and colours, and capture it's key characteristics and natural feel." Since 2008, Graeme has been a member of Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California where he now lives and works and which is home to the Kraft Nabisco Championship and ANA Inspiration, one of the LPGA Tour's Majors and one of the many events for which he is Official Artist. Graeme Baxter's paintings are owned by many of the golfing greats both past and present and by golf enthusiasts around the world. Gleneagles was the venue for the 2014 Ryder Cup with captains Tom Watson and Paul McGinley. Europe famously won by 16.5 points to 11.5 and retained the Cup. Graeme Baxter was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM) by HM The Queen in 2022.

Robertson. Kelsey has earned a formidable reputation as one of Scotland's finest and most sought after contemporary artists. His numerous one man shows in London in particular enjoy huge success and his sell out exhibition at Thompson's Gallery (London) in 2004 was reported on BBC's "Breakfast" as "one of the biggest contemporary art exhibitions in London in recent years". The prestigious Thompson's Gallery described the event as "the most successful solo exhibition we have ever had". Robert has been a regular exhibitor for many years at The Royal Glasgow Institute, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, Paisley Art Institute, The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and The Royal Scottish Academy. He has enjoyed success in New York , Budapest and Chicago and is widely exhibited throughout the UK. He has featured in many magazines including "Homes & Interiors" and "Scotland Magazine" and BBC News 24 has reported his achievements. The book "Robert Kelsey-the artist" was published in 2004. His style is distinctly "Contemporary Scottish Colourist" and although his work reveals his GSA training the strongest influences remain Peploe and Cadell. Robert writes : "I love the loneliness and serenity to be found at certain locations such as the beaches of the Outer Hebrides. I say "loneliness", which sounds like a bad thing, better to describe it as being at peace in serene places, where you can be alone with your thoughts, listen to the sea birds and the trickle of water". Robert's home and studio are in Paisley but his commercial success has allowed him to travel the world in search of the light and colour that are such strong features within his work. This broadening of horizons has been reflected in his "gallery prices" as his career and reputation continues to flourish. Kelsey collectors include : Sir Arnold Clark, The Duke of Bedford, Lord McFarlane of Bearsden, Cairn Energy PLC, Credit Lyonnais Bank, Taylor Woodrow, The Dunfermline Building Society, Highland Spring Water, Enterprise Oil, Paisley Art Gallery, Turnberry Hotel & Golf Club, Alliance & Leicester Building Society, Arisaig Partners (Asia) and The Fleming Collection.

She employs a variety of media and her work is original and exciting. Harrigan has had many successful exhibitions and in 2009 completed a book entitled 'Abstract and Colour Techniques in Painting'. Harrigan has won several awards including the Latimer Award (Royal Scottish Academy of Arts), the Glasgow Arts Club Fellowship Award and the James Torrance Award (Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts).

Post-war studies at GSA gave him the highly-coveted diploma in drawing and painting, winning at the same time the RSA prize and the RSA travelling scholarship. In 1954 he married Margaret Dunn, herself a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art and a very fine embroideress and weaver. Ferguson was a great sportsman and in his early days he played football for various teams including Blantyre Victoria, where he took over as centre-half from Jock Stein. He was frequently snooker champion of the Glasgow Art Club, was keen on bowling and was also a member of the Tighnabruich Curling Club. From early post-war years he was recognised as an outstanding teacher in the east end of Glasgow and gave credibility to art education in these formative years, gaining recognition from Jordanhill Training College and Her Majesty's Inspectorate in Scotland for the pioneering and impressive results he was achieving. During these years he also taught in the evening school at the GSA. He joined the permanent staff of the GSA in 1968 and was one of the most devoted teachers the school has known.
