1975 Rolls-Royce CornicheCoachwork by H J Mulliner, Park Ward Ltd.Registration no. JBN 549NChassis no. CRH19358Odometer reading: 94,330MoT expiry date: exempt*One of the last coachbuilt Rolls-Royces*Previously registered in Canada*Last MoT'd in 2010Recalling its glamorous Grandes Routières of pre-war days such as the Phantom II Continental, Rolls-Royce's final coachbuilt models - entrusted to the company's in-house coachbuilder Mulliner, Park Ward - were limited to just two: a two-door coupé or similar convertible, the former arriving in March 1966 and the latter in September the following year. The cars were hand built in the best traditions of British coachbuilding using only materials of the finest quality, including Wilton carpeting, Connolly hide, and burr walnut veneers, a necessarily lengthy process that took all of 20 weeks for the saloon and slightly longer for the more complex convertible. This painstaking attention to detail resulted in a price some 50% higher than the standard Silver Shadow's. Nevertheless, demand for these more glamorous alternatives to the much more numerous Shadow was strong right from the start, a state of affairs that resulted in them being given their own model name - 'Corniche' - in March 1971. Despite its sky-high asking price, the model proved a major success for Rolls-Royce; periodically revised and up-dated, it remained in production well into the 1990s, the last (Convertible) examples being delivered in 1995.it was once registered in British Columbia, Canada and last MoT'd in 2010, the car comes with a large history file including numerous bills and recent expenditure.Footnotes:Please click the link to view the walkaround video of this lot: click hereVendor Score Total: 61/100Bidders should note that the automated 100-point Seller's Assessment is provided by each Seller at the point of consignment using the guidelines below, and is not provided, assessed or verified by Bonhams MPH.

Three: Private G. S. Wimbush, 1st/1st Battalion, Honourable Artillery Company Infantry, who was discharged on account of wounds received at Hooge in June 1915 1914 Star (1854 Pte. G. S. Wimbush. H.A.C.); British War and Victory Medals (1854 Pte. G. S. Wimbush. H.A.C. - Inf. -) very fine (3) £200-£240 --- Gordon Stewart Wimbush was born at Finchley, Middlesex in 1890 and attested for the Honourable Artillery Company Infantry at Armoury House, Finsbury on 2 September 1914. He served with the 1st/1st Battalion during the Great War from 18 September 1914, initially at St. Nazaire on the Lines of Communication and then on the Western Front with the 3rd Division from 10 November. At Hooge, on 16 June 1915, while serving in his capacity as a stretcher-bearer with A Company, he received a gunshot wound to the head and was repatriated to England one week later. He was discharged, on account of his wounds, on 24 December 1915 and was awarded a Silver War Badge.

The G.C.V.O. insignia awarded to Lord James of Hereford, P.C., Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster The Royal Victorian Order, G.C.V.O., Knight Grand Cross, set of insignia comprising sash badge, silver-gilt and enamels, and breast star, silver, silver-gilt and enamels, both pieces officially numbered ‘19’, the reverse of the badge additionally engraved ‘Lord James of Hereford, P.C., Chancellor Duchy of Lancaster, 22 August 1902, complete with full dress sash, this stained in parts, otherwise extremely fine (2) £1,400-£1,800 --- Provenance: Buckland Dix & Wood, June 1991. Henry James, first Lord James of Hereford 1828-1911, lawyer and statesman, was born at Hereford on 30 October 1828, third and youngest son of Philip Turner James, surgeon, of Hereford. He was educated at Cheltenham College, which was opened in 1841, and was the first boy on the roll. In after years he was president of the council of governors of the school, and founded the James of Hereford entrance scholarships, primarily for Herefordshire boys. At school he played in the cricket elevens of 1844 and 1845, and never lost his interest in the game, playing occasionally for the old boys, and becoming president of the M.C.C. in 1889. He gained no special distinction in school studies, and on leaving began training as an engineer, but soon joined the Middle Temple as a student in January 1849. He was lecturer's prizeman in 1850 and 1851, and was one of the earliest and foremost members of the Hardwicke Debating Society, where he developed a power of lucid speaking. Called to the bar in 1852, he joined the Oxford circuit. His rise at the bar was not rapid; he practised at first mainly in the mayor's court, of which he became leader. Comparatively early in his career he became known to Sir John Hollams and through him obtained much commercial work at the Guildhall. In 1867, after fifteen years at the bar, he was appointed postman of the Court of Exchequer, an office now extinct, and became a Q.C. in 1869. The following year he was elected bencher of his Inn, and in 1888 served as treasurer. In 1869 James entered the House of Commons as liberal member for Taunton. There he came to the front more quickly than at the bar and was soon a prominent figure on the ministerial side below the gangway, occasionally criticising his leaders with effect. As a parliamentary speaker he was rarely brief, but he held the ear of the house. In 1870 he joined Sir Henry Drummond Wolff in an expedition to the seat of the Franco-Prussian war, and came under the fire of French artillery at Strassbourg. In Sept. 1873 he became solicitor-general in Gladstone's government and was knighted. Two months later, when the attorney-general became lord chief justice, James succeeded him. Parliament was dissolved immediately afterwards, and James was re-elected for Taunton, but the defeat of his party deprived him of office. While in opposition, he was active in debate, and when Gladstone returned to office after the general election of 1880, James, who retained his seat for Taunton, again became attorney-general and held the post until the liberal government went out in 1885. James performed both his political and professional work with unsparing energy. In parliament his chief exploit was the drafting and carrying through its various stages the corrupt practices bill of 1883. He had already championed the cause of electoral purity, and his skill and temper in the conduct of his bill evoked Gladstone''s admiration. On 24 June 1885, he was made a privy councillor. At the general election of 1885, after the new reform bill had become law, he was returned as member for Bury in Lancashire, and he represented that constituency for the rest of his time in the House of Commons. When Gladstone declared for home rule early in 1886, James declared unhesitatingly against the change of Irish policy. Gladstone offered him first the lord chancellorship and then the home secretaryship in his new ministry, but James, with rare self-denial, declined both. He was already a warm intimate friend of Lord Hartington (afterwards duke of Devonshire), and with him he thenceforward acted in close personal sympathy, becoming a leader of the newly formed liberal-unionist party. Returned for Bury at the elections of 1886 and 1892, James, now a private member of parliament, continued his private practice at the bar. From 1892 to 1895 he acted as attorney-general of the Duchy of Cornwall to King Edward VII, then Prince of Wales, with whom he had formed a close intimacy. In 1892 he was made hon. LL.D. of Cambridge. On 22 April 1893, James spoke at great length against Gladstone's home rule bill, and in February 1895 he, on behalf of the Lancashire cotton spinners, led the opposition to the liberal government's proposal to reimpose duties on cotton imported into India. On the return of the unionists to power in August 1895, James was raised to the peerage as Lord James of Hereford, and for the first time became a cabinet minister holding the office of chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the unionist administration. In 1896 he joined the judicial committee of the privy council, and took part in the judicial work of that body as well as of the House of Lords. He resigned his position on the judicial committee before his death. As arbitrator in industrial disputes, and notably as chairman of the coal conciliation board from 1898 to 1909, he gave a series of important decisions, which were accepted by all parties without demur. Between 1895 and 1902 he sat, too, on a committee of the privy council appointed to deal with university education in the north of England. James resigned office in July 1902, when Mr. Balfour succeeded Lord Salisbury as prime minister. In the same year he was made G.C.V.O. The following year, when Mr. Chamberlain formulated his policy of tariff reform, James declared his resolute adherence to the principle of free trade. As in the home rule crisis, he acted with the duke of Devonshire, and stiffened the latter in his opposition to the new policy. In November 1909 he opposed, as unconstitutional, the rejection of the budget by the House of Lords. During his later years he took much interest in the Imperial Institute, and was for a long time chairman of the advisory committee. A good sportsman, especially with the gun, he maintained through life a large circle of friends. King Edward VII was constantly a guest at his shooting parties. He was an intimate friend of Millais; he knew Dickens, Charles Reade, Tom Taylor, and other men eminent in literature or art, although he had few intellectual interests outside his profession. He was munificent in private charity. He died on 18 August 1911, at Kingswood Warren, near Epsom. Previously he had made his country home at Breamore, near Salisbury, and there he was buried in the parish churchyard. He was unmarried, and the peerage became extinct at his death. A portrait by Mr. J. St. H. Lander is in the Benchers'' Rooms at the Middle Temple, and there are other portraits at the Devonshire Club and at Cheltenham College, where a fund in his memory for the endowment of Cheltenham College was inaugurated in July 1912.

An interesting Knight Bachelor’s group of three awarded to Lieutenant Sir Sydney C. T. Littlewood, Royal Flying Corps, later Chairman of the Legal Aid Committee of the Law Society, who, tasked with delivering a brand new F.E. 2D aircraft to the Western Front on 1 June 1916 on what was his first operational flight, lost his way and inadvertently landed at a German aerodrome, where he was captured and taken Prisoner of War- an episode that was raised and debated in the House of Lords Knight Bachelor’s Badge, 2nd type breast badge, silver-gilt and enamel; British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. S. C. T. Littlewood. R.A.F.) mounted for display purposes in a display frame, together with a Royal Flying Corps silver and enamel sweetheart’s brooch, good very fine (3) £600-£800 --- Knight Bachelor London Gazette 7 June 1951: Sydney Charles Thomas Littlewood, Esq., Chairman, Legal Aid Committee of the Law Society. Sir Sydney Charles Thomas Littlewood was born at Bournemouth, Hampshire, on 15 December 1895 and following schooling embarked upon legal training. A keen pilot, he gained his Royal Aero Club Certificate (no. 1755) at Hendon on 16 September 1915, and was commissioned Second Lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps on 17 May 1916. Whilst waiting for a Squadron posting, the War Office sent a message that two FE pilots were required to ferry planes to Squadrons already in France. There was a misunderstanding somewhere, and the planes to be ferried were not ordinary F.E.’s, but the brand new F.E. 2D. When Littlewood discovered this he pointed this out, explained that he was an inexperienced pilot, and that he was unsure of the way to France, never having been there before. Told that there were no spare pilots available, he was given a map and told to get going. On 31 May 1916 Littlewood and his observer, Lieutenant D. L. Grant, left Farnborough for France. They were reported flying over the Allied lines at Armentieres, before disappearing in the direction of Lille. The plane and the crew were posted missing, but on the evening of 1 June 1916 a German wireless communiqué stated, somewhat sarcastically, that an FE had crossed German lines and had descended undamaged at a German aerodrome near Lille after the pilot had lost his way, and that both the pilot and observer were in the hands of the Germans. The enemy further thanked the British for the aircraft, which they said would be ‘most useful’. Imprisoned as a prisoner of War in Holziminden for the remainder of the War, Littlewood was finally repatriated on 3 January 1919. The whole episode surrounding the loss of Britain’s newest aircraft, in enemy hands barely three hours after it had left the factory, was subsequently debated in the House of Lords. Resuming his legal training on the cessation of hostilities, Littlewood was admitted as a Solicitor in 1922, and served as Senior Partner in the firm of Wilkinson, Howlett & Moorhouse. He was a member of the Council of Law Society from 1940, and served as Chairman of the Legal Aid Committee from 1946 to 1952, receiving a Knighthood for his services in 1951. He was appointed vice President of the Law Society in 1958, and died on 9 September 1967. Sold with a large quantity of copied research, and various photographic images of the recipient.

Nettie Wakefield Two Meters Apart, 2021 Graphite on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Nettie Wakefield (b.1987) is a British artist who lives and works between London and LA. It is human ephemera and the aspects of everyday life which tend to be over looked or taken for granted that for Nettie become a rich resource for artistic meditation. Taking as her subject matter, the backs of people's heads as in her 'Reverse Portraits' - the owner always unknown, discarded beer cans, sweet wrappers and crumpled cigarette packets, Nettie imbues these commonplace subjects with a sense of both the uncanny as well as a certain poetry which speak of the humans to which they belong or have been discarded by. A striking discord exists between the evidence of life lived in constant flux and the manner in which these 21st century specimens are then immortalized by Nettie's stark and uncompromising artistic attention. Rejecting the new wave digital era, Nettie's commitment is to traditional forms of draughtsmanship such as drawing watercolour and most lately bronze casting. Through meticulous and highly focused powers of observation, Nettie isolates a moment or thing in space and time, often suspending it within an otherwise blank background as she grants it an importance it is usually denied. For Nettie, pencil is a medium she continually returns to. There is no hiding with pencil. It's where so many artists have started; the source of the stream. Most people associate it with the beginning of something, a plan. For Nettie it is the main medium: the end product, it's monochromacy perfect for an artist who is far more interested in tonality than colour. While the speed of life becomes increasingly fast, Nettie views her work as an act of mindfulness, a slowing down of sorts, through which to take time over the act of looking, an effect also replicated in the viewer on encountering Nettie's works. Education She spent summers at the Charles Cecil studios in Florence before completing a foundation year at Chelsea College of Art, a BA in Art History at Leeds University and her Masters degree in Drawing at Wimbledon College of Art, graduating September 2013.

Nettie Wakefield Two Meters Apart, 2021 Graphite on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Nettie Wakefield (b.1987) is a British artist who lives and works between London and LA. It is human ephemera and the aspects of everyday life which tend to be over looked or taken for granted that for Nettie become a rich resource for artistic meditation. Taking as her subject matter, the backs of people's heads as in her 'Reverse Portraits' - the owner always unknown, discarded beer cans, sweet wrappers and crumpled cigarette packets, Nettie imbues these commonplace subjects with a sense of both the uncanny as well as a certain poetry which speak of the humans to which they belong or have been discarded by. A striking discord exists between the evidence of life lived in constant flux and the manner in which these 21st century specimens are then immortalized by Nettie's stark and uncompromising artistic attention. Rejecting the new wave digital era, Nettie's commitment is to traditional forms of draughtsmanship such as drawing watercolour and most lately bronze casting. Through meticulous and highly focused powers of observation, Nettie isolates a moment or thing in space and time, often suspending it within an otherwise blank background as she grants it an importance it is usually denied. For Nettie, pencil is a medium she continually returns to. There is no hiding with pencil. It's where so many artists have started; the source of the stream. Most people associate it with the beginning of something, a plan. For Nettie it is the main medium: the end product, it's monochromacy perfect for an artist who is far more interested in tonality than colour. While the speed of life becomes increasingly fast, Nettie views her work as an act of mindfulness, a slowing down of sorts, through which to take time over the act of looking, an effect also replicated in the viewer on encountering Nettie's works. Education She spent summers at the Charles Cecil studios in Florence before completing a foundation year at Chelsea College of Art, a BA in Art History at Leeds University and her Masters degree in Drawing at Wimbledon College of Art, graduating September 2013.

Natisa Jones In All My Glory, 2021 Charcoal, Watercolour, Acrylic and Gouache on Paper Signed verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) Natisa Jones b. 1989 Born in Jakarta, Natisa Jones is a visual artist who works between Bali, Indonesia where she spent most of her childhood growing up - and Amsterdam, Netherlands where she is currently based.   Education   Jones completed a Visual Arts diploma studies in Chiang Mai Thailand and a bachelor's degree of Fine Arts Painting in RMIT University - Melbourne, Australia. Through the process of writing, drawing, painting, and video, Jones establishes a tightly-knit relationship between her personal life and her creative practice. Raised in a multicultural house hold by a Javanese mother and a Canadian father, Jones pulls narratives from her personal experiences to explore issues within identity and reflect on social dynamics. Framing moments of vulnerability, while every so often pinching sentiments from popular culture, text is regularly incorporated with imagery. Prompt by her multicultural upbringing, Jones seeks to emphasize the notion of duality as an underlying theme in every aspect of her work.   Exhibitions/Awards   Natisa has held 3 solo exhibitions in Ruci Gallery (Jakarta), Galeri Salihara (Jakarta) and Tony Raka Gallery, (Bali).   Group exhibitions include Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Phillipines and more.   Bachelor of Fine Arts - Painting (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) Graduated 2011   Solo Exhibitions 2019 - Solo Exhibition, 'Love Is Never Lonely' - Tony Raka Gallery, Bali Indonesia 2018 - Solo Exhibition - ' G R O T E S K ', Galeri Salihara - Jakarta, Indonesia

Although it is easy to celebrate ourselves through our triumphs, it is the hardships that truly place our sense of self-love and acceptance on trial. Its through hardship that we learn who we truly are, our strength, weaknesses, our priorities, and how to continuously fight ourselves. Dark blues, light blues, light yellows peeking, thick limbs, pink mountains. To be soft and playful, yet to take up space and become heavy. All of it is okay. All of it is valid. It is an ongoing process to take ownership of all of it. But through every crack, every detail, I'd like to celebrate - in all our glory, as we are. "  

1929 Bentley 4 ½ Litre. Coachwork by Vanden Plas, Registration Number: UL5 510, Chassis Number: RL3431, Engine Number RL3433. In 1919, at the Olympia Motor Exhibition, W O Bentley introduced to the world his new 3-litre racing car. The descendants of this British Racing Green, leather-strapped “Lorry”, would go forward and become some of the most successful and widely recognised legends of motor racing. The 3-litre Bentley had early racing successes, but by mid-decade it became apparent development was necessary. This resulted in the creation of the new 4 ½ Litre engine. Bentley first tested production of this engine in a 1927 Le Mans practice car. Utilising the chassis, transmission, and brakes of the 3-litre, combined with this newly developed four-cylinder motor. Later that year the engine was fitted to the first production 4 ½ litre chassis, which was to compete in the Grand Prix d’Endurance. ‘Old Mother Gun’, as it was known, was eliminated in the famous White House Crash. A year later in 1928, Woolf Barnato and Bernard Rubin, drove the same ‘Old Mother Gun’ to a famous 24 hour Le Mans victory. The pinnacle moment from a series of highly successful competitive years. With their racing pedigree cemented, they became world renowned for their speed and rugged capability. This reputation has only grown, and they have been raced and collected in every subsequent generation; supported by a wide and passionate circle of specialists and mechanics. Only 665 examples of the Bentley 4 ½ litre were ever made, over a short period of four years. RL3431 is a rare example of a matching numbers car, with all its major mechanical parts identifiable by original manufacturers numbers. She was first supplied to Geoffrey Joel in 1929 and still retains the open touring coachwork design by Vanden Plas, of the attractive Long Bonnet shape. Joel had a close connection to Bentley from the start, not only did he finance Bentley Motors, but he was also the cousin of Woolf Barnato of “Bentley Boys” fame. The second owner was a Mr C E A Flewitt, who was known to race Bentley cars; we have a picture of him at the Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb. The third owner of this 4 ½ litre was a Lt Col Mir Haider Khan, who exported the car to India. This could have been very early in its life, the car was never registered for road use in the UK, so perhaps even in the early 1930’s. It then fascinatingly disappeared for a considerable time, to be next discovered in Afghanistan in 1971, in the possession of Hassan Hamid. After some necessary restoration carried out to a very high standard in Hamid’s factory, the owner employed his friend and member of the Bentley Drivers Club, Lt T N Allan of the RAF, to drive the car back to England. After aiding the preparations of the vehicle, Mr Allan took four weeks and over 5,700 miles to complete this remarkable expedition, the car suffering no serious problems. The story is fantastic, involving Land Rover windscreen wipers, prison time and many a slow puncture. The journey is fully documented in an article in the Bentley Drivers Club Review. This achievement is a serious testament to the durability and mechanical prowess of the vehicle. Mr Allan was to comment on ‘the incredible soundness of design, the longevity and strength of W. O.’s great cars’. After its return RL3431 was housed by Jaguar Development engineer Julian Ghosh, until 1976, when it was once again looked after by Tim Allan. The car was then bought by a Mr David Hodgson, who instructed a comprehensive rebuild of the car, to be undertaken by the very highly regarded specialist in the field, John Ambler. The well documented work included a full engine rebuild, with a full flow lubrication system and the fitting of a new overdrive. There is a good collection of photos documenting the rebuild. Recently Dr Clare Hay has written a statement on the bodywork. Ever since joining the BDC the current owner and our vendor has been made aware that the Bentley WO’s are the zenith of the Bentley brand. They are the cars all serious collectors should aspire to, and only when in possession of one, can you fully be deemed a true devotee. The sale of this stunning example is an opportunity for the right person to become part of the great British Bentley legacy.

1956 Bentley S1 Continental Fastback. Coachwork by H J Mulliner, Registration Number: 10JML, Chassis Number: BC28BG, Engine Number: BC27B. ‘Their responsiveness, beauty of line and traditional coach-built interior fitments make them the ultimate in fifties personal transportation’ The Flying Lady.The Bentley S1 Sports Saloon was first introduced in 1955. It quickly became synonymous with effortless high speeds and luxury touring. Of all the designs, and possibly all the Bentley’s, the Mulliner S1 Continental Fastback is the most iconic example of high-performance elegance. The S type was built on a new chassis, which included improved brakes and suspension. They were also fitted with the latest, enlarged model, of the inlet-over-exhaust, six-cylinder engine, which produced 4887cc. As well as this, the Continental came with a shorter radiator and high gearing. All of which resulted in exceptional sports car performance; a top speed of 120mph and it could reach 50mph in just over 9 seconds. In 1955 Autocar wrote: ‘It brings Bentley back to the forefront of the world’s fastest cars’.The luxury aspect of this car is apparent on first sight, the famous lines of the Mulliner coachwork are sublime. The interiors were fitted with touring in mind, comfort and space are paramount. It is noted in the original build sheets for 10JML, that an opening head and rear sun blind are added, which would no doubt contribute to the comfort in which you would travel to the Cote d’Azur, and they are still present to this day. Again commenting, Autocar state: ‘the latest Bentley model offers a degree of safety, comfort and performance that is beyond the experience and perhaps even the imagination of the majority of the worlds motorists’.This early example has a fantastic and comprehensive history. Initially registered in 1956 to Mr Johnstone, the managing director of H J Mulliner and Co Ltd. She was first displayed at the Earls Court Motor Show and not long after sold to a Mr D Letts, known for racing MG’s at Brooklands. During this ownership 10JML was looked after by Jack Barclay; the first note in this car’s extensive history is a simple remedy of a failing stop lamp. In 1961 the car was sold, via Jack Barclay, to a J W Jennings of Samuel Jones & Co Ltd. There is documented dialogue between Barclay’s then manager and Jennings recording the sale. Mr Jennings kept and maintained the car, using Rolls Royce Ltd companies, until 1968. It was then passed to The Freeman Heating Co who commissioned maintenance work, including an engine rebuild, to preserve the cars originality.In 1979 the vehicle was purchased by David Rolfe, an avid collector of Bentley cars and a regional chairman of the BDC. He kept, looked after, and enjoyed this Continental for 35 years. She was then sold to a Mr Head, who upon taking ownership of her in 2008, initiated a specialist report. All highlighted issues were recorded and then remedied. Mr Head rallied the car in Australia in 2010, taking part in ‘Bentleys Australia Over the Top’, 44 Bentleys travelling through the outback, and no issues were recorded. In 2017 Mr Head then instructed a full restoration, to include a bare metal respray, refinishing of the veneers and £17,000 worth of mechanical conservation. The care shown during this process is apparent in the resplendent finish seen when one views the car in the flesh. The car passed to the present owner in 2018.10JML is an impeccable example of one of the most desirable Bentley’s ever to grace our roads. We are delighted to offer her as part of the Newton House Collection, with hope that buyers will not miss the opportunity acquire such a beautiful and rare car.

An Easter Egg, circa mid-1920's, given to the vendor's mother by her auntie in 1924. The chocolate inside the egg still survives and has never been eaten! The egg has survived World War II and various house moves before ending up in Derbyshire. The egg, also known as a Pascall egg, has a small doll inside with a chocolate body, encased within a card egg, decorated with floral patterns.Manufactured by James Pascall LTD, Mitcham, Surrey; a company founded in 1866, in Wells Street, London by former Cadbury employee James Pascall, before moving to larger premises in Blackfriars, and eventually Mitcham in 1897 after a fire at the company factory. In the 1960's, Pascall LTD was bought out by Cadbury-Fry, before the factory in Mitcham was shut down in 1970 and moved to Cadbury. Birmingham.

From 1819 to 1873 the Althorp and Pytchley countries were hunted by one pack with a second pack established at Brigstock and until 1920 the master of the Pytchley was in charge. The Hunt had a succession of Masters, including William M. Wroughton who was Master of the Pytchley Hunt from 1894-1902 and compiler of these diaries. The Pytchley country used to include areas of the Rockingham Forest but was split to form the Woodland Pytchley Hunt in 1931. Today, it covers an area of western and central Northamptonshire characterised by rolling hills, hedgerows and small areas of woodland. The country in which the Pytchley Hunt takes place is described in Baily's Hunting Directory 1939-1949, London: Vinton & Co. Ltd., 1948 as "the country, which lies in Northants and Leicestershire, extends some 20 miles N. to S. and 25 miles E. to W. On the N. it adjoins the Fernie, the Woodland Pytchley, and Atherstone; on the W. the Atherstone, N. Warwickshire, and Bicester; on the S. the Grafton and Oakley, and on the E. the Woodland Pytchley. It is impossible to describe its characteristics in a sentence. It is a very strongly fenced, often undulating country, and, as a whole, it normally consists of almost uninterrupted pasture. However, due to present agricultural policy, there is a considerable increase in arable land. A "bad horse cannot get over the country at all, and a second-class one will only spoil your pleasure and ruin your nerve" ("Brooksby"). He must be the best hunter bred; bold, fast, a big jumper, temperate, and able to stay... “. A copy of this volume is included in the lot.

the circular matrix engraved with the arms of James Stewart with motto S. IACOBI.COMEDATARII.DE.CALCO.ET.MELROSE around, with integral flange handle to reverse, with manuscript label ‘GIE H&A 1901 290’(Diameter: 4.1cm, weight: 44.4g)Footnote: Heraldry: With the arms of James Stewart (born c.1529 – 15th September 1557) of an altered Royal Arms of Scotland debruised with a bendlet to denote illegitimacy, the arms are resting on a crosier to denote his office of Commendator of Kelso and Melrose. Exhibited: Glasgow International Exhibition of Scottish History & Life, 1901, item 317 Provenance: C.H. Scott Plummer collection, since at least 1901 By direct family descent to current vendor Notes: This Scottish seal is not only a remarkable survival from the 16th century, but one connected to the Royal House of Stewart. James Stewart (born c.1529 – died 15th September 1557), son of Elizabeth Shaw, was the eldest of at least nine illegitimate children of King James V (1512 – 1542). Of James V’s illegitimate children four of the six males were named James / John presumably to show the connection to their father even if they would not benefit from Royal titles or privilege. However, this seal proves that the illegitimacy of the sons did not stop King James from bestowing titles and positions of power, and likely wealth, upon at least some. Bestowed by his father, James Stewart’s position as Commendator of the Abbeys of both Kelso (1534 – 1557) and Melrose (1535 – 1557), in the Scottish Borders, puts him in a very high position. Not only one of power overseeing the lands of the Abbey and the wider areas but in control of financial and local security. The position of Commendator is bestowed upon a qualified person over a vacant benefice of a church or abbey. The Commendator retained the living from the position most commonly until being replaced when a suitable cleric became available. The practice was abolished by law in 1836. It appears that James Stewart was granted the Commendatorship of Melrose in 1535 but it is possible that this seal was not made until 1541 when the last Abbot of Melrose, Andrew Durie, who had served from 1525 stepped down to become Bishop of Galloway. While Stewart held the position from 1535 it is likely that this was more in title than function until this point which would in turn have necessitated a seal being created. By King James placing one of his illegitimate sons in this double roll it not only promotes and finances his life (much closer to that of a legitimate Prince) but protects the King’s interest in the areas under his son’s control. At a time when peace with the English Royal family was tense and fragile having as widespread support was undoubtedly important. It is by no means coincidental that these positions were granted in the Scottish borders. This seal relates exclusively to James Stewart’s work as the Commendator of Melrose Abbey. While it has not been seen on the open market in at least the last century it was exhibited in the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition. This exhibition brought together a remarkable cross section of Scottish history from early to modern times. The exhibitions of medieval and early modern Scottish art and relics arguably have rarely been surpassed. Drawing from personal and institutional collections some of the most important relics of the nation’s history were exhibited. While no other reference to this seal being exhibited can be found, it is interesting to note that it appears that two wax impressions of the seal are within the collection of the National Museums of Scotland (H.NM 253.1 and H.NM 253.2 both dated circa 1541 perhaps adding weight to the possible later date of production of the seal). However, their date and origin are not recorded on the online catalogue so they may be from original documents or Victorian impressions made as historical trinkets. It is recorded that James Stewart’s seal from the Abbey of Kelso is known. This seal appears to have taken a much more elaborate design with more architectural feature and ecclesiastical emblems rather than personal heraldry. The current whereabouts are unknown but it is described fully in ‘History of Scottish Seals, Volume II Ecclesiastical and Monastic Seals’ by Walter De Gray Birch LLD FSA in 1907. While various early Scottish seals - personal, royal and burgh - do survive, the vast majority are within institutional collections. Either residing within their original corporation, institution, or museum collections. Rarely do any pre-1700 Scottish seals appear on the open market let alone from the mid-16th century. That said, two highly important examples have been offered in recent years.

Sommerfield, John (1908-1991) The Death of Christopher A Novel. Author's autograph manuscript (c.. 209pp.) and heavily annotated and corrected typescript (c.215pp.), inscribed in red pen on the title by the author "To him what launched this mss, John Sommerfield" and in the hand of S. Sommerfield "He has made restitution. May god rest his soul. I hope he doesn't lose on it. For Charles Stonehill, S. Sommerfield", manuscript in red or green ink and pencil, typescript corrected in red or green ink and pencil, in card folder with contact details of Vernon Sommerfield, some sections page numbered, Chapter 1 marked "June 1928, New York", at end marked "John Sommerfield, 19 Park Place, Kensington Gardens, W."Footnote: Note: Sommerfield left University College School at the age of 16 and worked as a newspaper delivery boy, stage hand and merchant seaman before moving to Chelsea, where he was active in the Communist Party. He appears to have joined the Communist Party in the early 1930s and it was a major part of his life for the following quarter century. He wrote columns for several Communist periodicals, including the Daily Worker, and was active in the Communist Party Writers' Group. Sommerfield's first two books, They Die Young (1930) – which was published in the United States as The Death of Christopher – and Behind the Scenes (1934) drew upon his experiences at sea and as a stage hand. 1936 saw the publication of May Day, which is considered Sommerfield's most important work. The novel was published by the Communist Party's publishing house, and fictionalises a Communist uprising in London. Shortly after the publication of May Day, Sommerfield volunteered for the International Brigades and fought in the Spanish Civil War alongside his friend John Cornford. After returning he discovered that he had been reported dead. During World War II he served as an aircraft support mechanic in Burma and India. This wartime service in Asia with the RAF provided the inspiration for some of his best short stories, collected after the war as The Survivors (1947). In 1937 Sommerfield published Volunteer in Spain, which was an account of his time in Spain. George Orwell called the memoir a "piece of sentimental tripe", while others praised it and called Sommerfield "an excellent writer". The book was dedicated to Cornford, who was killed in Spain in December 1936. The poet and novelist Malcolm Lowry, a close friend of Sommerfield's, counted him as an important influence, and dedicated his poem Song About Madrid, Useful Any Time to him and Julian Bell. Perhaps the most widely read of Sommerfield's works was Trouble in Porter Street, published in 1939. The Communist Party asked Sommerfield to write a manual about how to organise a rent strike. He wrote a short story for this purpose instead which was published cheaply as a pamphlet and sold in tens of thousands. Sommerfield was also active in the Mass Observation project and took the lead in the research, largely in Bolton, for The Pub and the People. Throughout the war and in the following decade, Sommerfield continued to write for Communist and progressive periodicals and literary journals, including John Lehmann's New Writing journal, and worked largely in documentary films. Among his writing, The Adversaries (1952) was a historical novel based on the life of the mathematician Evariste Galois while North West Five (1960) was a novel about a young working class couple struggling to make their own way in post-war Kentish Town in north London. The item appears to be a mixture of original manuscript and heavily annotated typescript drafts, new sections being headed "Mss 1st", "3/rd," etc. Due to erratic, and the absence of, page numbering, and not having a copy of the published novel, it has not been possible to establish with certainty if the entire novel is present in manuscript or typescript but it does appear to be complete. A significant and early literary manuscript of one of Britain's most radical political writers of the inter-war era, which also reflects Sommerfield's awareness of and response to modernist writing. Of particular topicality is Christopher's interest in the human consequences of technological advances and their implications for human liberty.

See Dr. Naiki, S., Similarities and Differences in Gandharan Sculptures Among Regions, Thursday 22nd to Friday 23rd March 2018, The Geography of Gandharan Art: 2nd Workshop of the Gandhara Connections Project, Classical Art Research Centre, University of Oxford.

An exhibition at Tibet House New York, From the Buckingham collections, exhibit TB008, p.59 & 160; accompanied by copies of the relevant exhibition catalogue pages. 355 grams, 14.1cm (5 1/2"). Acquired for the ‘Buckingham Collection’ by the late Nik Douglas (1944-2012), renowned author, curator and Asian art expert; the collection formed from the early 1960s to early 1970s; displayed at the major exhibition ‘The Buddha Image: Out of Uddiyana’, Tibet House, 22 West 15th Street, New York, 16 September-20 October 2010, extended to 16 November and again to 7 January 2011; where the collection of one hundred pieces was publicly valued at US$ 15M; this piece was scheduled to be included in an exhibition titled ‘On the Silk Route; Birth of The Buddha’, to be held in London from November 2012, but sadly his death prevented this; accompanied by copies of several press releases and articles for the exhibition, including Artnet News, This Week in New York, Huffpost, Buddhist Art News, and copies of the relevant London and Tibet House exhibition catalogue pages, which dates the piece on artistic grounds to the Early Wei period, circa 5th century AD, and a transcription of the Chinese characters inscribed on the piece; recent translation of the previously undeciphered inscription suggests a more precise date range of 385-431 AD, Western Qin era; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no. 10447-169027. Gandhara was a principal gateway through which Buddhism spread to China. Academic research conducted after the death of Nik Douglas (above) explains that Gandharan sculpture has been found in neighbouring regions, such as in Uddiyana. Sculpture from the Gandharan and Uddiyana regions has similar characteristics and as a result has often remained undifferentiated. As a result of this recent research however, it is becoming more feasible to identify distinctions between the sculpture of these different regions. [A video of this lot is available to view on TimeLine Auctions website.] Fine condition.
